On c7 I can't find mod_perl. Configuring bacula client requires only few lines...with bacula you need only bacula pkgs and one database. With backuppc there are different services to install and configure...some external to centos base. In c7, without mod_perl I must run cgi with suid... Ok bacula is more complex (complexity I mean for its configuration) but It is better organized and less messy. To install backuppc perl is required, to install File::Rsync from cpan I must install gcc. Then installing bacula on server/client and configure them from base repo is less complex and more pratical then download, compile, configure. The complexity is not on ssh key exchange or smb share (sorry for this mistake) but for installation procedure of backuppc is less pratical for me. Then when you learn how to use a software, like samba, for you (i think) samba is the simpliest software to use and configure...but when you use samba, you need only samba pkgs and they work.

And the OS came on QIC-150 tape (ie: 150 MB total capacity). Not that that defeats the argument ... Devin
John, are you using c6? I have c7 and epel, nux repo and can't find this packages on these repo. Only backuppc on nux repo.
