[Nelug] Backup over network. Which? What?

[Peter Holmes]

Thanks to all for all the input.

The bottom line appears to be:
Bacula - do I also need to install on the windoze machines?
Needs SQL server also?
Bacula got a GOOD write up in LINUX Format over a year ago: 9/10. Is SSL now incorporated?

Ubuntu server with RAID 2(?)
Apache, (My)SQL, PHP ... resources, resources.

TYA, Peter H.
