Thank you, Kern, for your answer. OK, for one unique database. A last question before possibly going on bacula-users list.
The feature I am interested for is the ability for a final PC user to manage its own restore operations. With Bat, the "version browser" window is very intuitive and very interesting for starting a restore. For a question of confidentiality, two conditions are required : - the user must see and access the contents of his backups. - he must not see nor acces the backup contents of the other users. So, is this feature possible with bacula ? Is a named console for each user with ACL commands a safe solution ? Or, from your point of view, is bacula restore operations only reserved for sysadmin and computer managers ?
