Hello, I've copied the Bacula user's list because this questions comes up from time to time.
Basically, Bacula is managed centrally, which means that the Director initiates the backup and restore jobs. If you wish to start a job for a Client from the client machine, you can do this using bconsole or wx-console programs. On most systems, bconsole can easily be scripted to do anything you want with a single click on an icon or invocation of a .bat file. If you do so, you should consider using restricted consoles (using Bacula ACL access control lists) so that the Client is restricted to work with his machine only.
