in this mailing lists. Kern is much more than a nice codder, who has write a \
extremely important tool which is the base of most of our backups. At least for me is \
one of my mentors, one of the persons from which I would like to learn because it has \
done a nice job with Bacula. For all these reasons, I wanted to say "thank you so \
much Kern and have an extremely happy birthday!!".<br /> <br /> I wanted too, for \
making the most of this lines, to ask a little gift to Kern :) :). I'm working as \
some of you know, in building a Bacula pluggin for creating an open source delta \
encoding plugin for the fd. It would be hugely nice :) :) (as someone told me too in \
this list) if official Delta plugin of Bacula, could be distributed with the \
Community source of Bacula. I'll go on writting my own plugin anyway, because I \
wanted to learn how it works and for being able to customize some of the backups I do \
here, but it would be really nice to have the Delta plugin as part of the Community \
edition of this nice piece of software. I had to try :) :) .<br /> <br /> Anyway and \
