For those into enterprise backups, here is some news.. Bacula 2.0.0 was recently released with tonnes of major features, improved maturity and performance.

For those who are not aware, bacula (www.bacula.org) is a network based backup and recovery program (under the GPL license). From my experience it is comparable to Legato Networker (which i use) and Veritas Netbackup and is probably better since the storage and indexing formats are non-proprietary..

With this release, the project copyrights were transferred to FSF Europe. Release notes and press-kits can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=31347109&forum_id... http://www.bacula.org/about/press/presskit200.html.en
