Description : legacy bacula file daemon
Bacula is a set of programs to manage backup, recovery, and
verification of data across a network of computers of different kinds.
.
The file daemon has to be installed on the machine to be backed
up. It is responsible for providing the file attributes and data when
requested by the Director, and also for the file system-dependent part
of restoration.
.
This package is intended for machines running a debian release with a
newer bacula version than the director is running. Once the
bacula-director has been upgraded, this package should be replaced by
the regular bacula-fd.
Bacula directors 5.x and bacula file daemons 7.x aren't compatible, so
this package is intended for backup clients on sites where the
backup-server is running an older debian release than the client, or
don't want to use eventual backported newer bacula packages. An example
would be that a system running testing or unstable should be backed up
This is to address concerns raised in bugs #805306 and #806205.
