Perusing the bacula docs it does not appear to have automatic scheduling of
full/incremental backups. This feature of amanda is absolutely critical
for our usage. Also, there is a tape/volume splitting patch making its way
into amanda. I used it for a while with success.
But that said, I don't suppose either is going away. Package it up for
extras as suggested - let's get it out there. It may be more useful for
folks as a default backup program.
