	Some years ago (2002-2003) I looked at Amanda. It did not
	have some of the features I was looking for so I kept looking
	and found Bacula. At the time Bacula was the only true
	client/server backup/restore system. Since then any time
	I needed to use a backup/restore system I have looked at
	Bacula ( http://bacula.org/en/ ).
