RE: Backup to DVD

: > hardware compression, do a Master Backup, and post your summary here.

: Hi Tom,
: 
: JMHO, this is not a development issue relating to the SME server.  This =
: is a
: discussion singularly about BackupEdge compression and as such does not
: belong on devinfo.  Your requests for follow up posts may more =
: appropriately
: be directed to a Microlite resource, say [email protected] or even =
: to
: you directly if you so choose.

Good idea. Personally to me is a better place. Anyone is welcome to
email me that they'd like results, and I'll pass along any that are
sent by this group. My own curiosity is now peaked, as every
environment is different when compression is concerned.

: Alternately, if you wish to discuss:
: 
: - building an rpm for install of BackupEdge onto SME
: - developing and incorporating BackupEdge into the SME server-manager
: interface
: 
: This is the place to discuss these types of SME development issues.

It's definitely something we have in mind. Thanks.

: In general I think many SME users would be interested in improved backup
: options for their server.  Of course we prefer to work in the open =
: source
: GPL environment.  SME is currently bundled with flexbackup.  However I'm
: sure we all will agree flexbackup provides only basic backup and restore
: functionality and is weak in overall features and ease of use.  Hence =
: the
: reason for this topic of discussion.
: 
: With my marketing hat on, Microlite may wish to consider releasing a
: non-commercial 'lite' SME/BackupEdge version with upgrade path to your
: commercial product.  I'm sure we would all be delighted in replacing
: flexbackup with a non-commerical integrated SME/BackupEdge product ;->
: 
: Again, just my opinions.

Thanks. If you've got any ideas on that you want to share, send them
along to me personally.
