Michael, In the online manual: http://www.bacula.org/html-manual/running.html it's default behaviour is to backup to disk volume's (just big files on a filesystem). You have to do some extra config to backup to tape (as I did). This chapter in the bacula manual is to get you familiar with bacula (naming, config etc) and do a basic backup and restore. Just give it try. It pretty striaght forward to get it running from the rpm's or source install. Gr. Martijn
