Did you find out how the files are written on tape?  That is, could I read a tape without having an instance of Bacula?  I ask because I'm always sensitive to having to have anything that's at all special in order to get data off of a tape (as opposed to tar on Linux or BACKUP on VMS).

&gt; &gt; ONLamp.com has an article on this backup software, and gives it a great
&gt; &gt; review.  I'm going to test it out this afternoon, and was wondering if
&gt; &gt; anyone has worked with it yet?  I'd rather learn from someone else's
&gt; &gt; mistakes, than make them all myself.  :)
&gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; Thanks
