This will be pretty obvious to seasoned *nix admins but it’s possible to tar/gz/bzip files over an ssh connection onto a remote file system. Read on to find out how…
I’ve posted some updated binary installers (zipped .pkg files) for bacula 2.2.0 for Mac OS X (the file daemon only). There are installers for both PowerPC and Intel. Be aware that they are statically linked for Mac OS X 10.4 only.
Please also note that these installers will overwrite your bacula-fd.conf file so make a backup before running. I hope you all find them useful.

In the quest for nicer formatting of code, I installed the semGeSHiCodeFix wordpress plugin. Blocks of code should now look like this:
while true; do { $SOMETHING }
Neat, huh? You can get the plugin here

Well, I knew it would happen pretty quickly and it did. Comment spam has started flooding in so I’m now requiring users to register before they can post comments.
I hate to add barriers to communication but until I find a better way to prevent spam this is the way it must be. Sorry :-(
