Hello, folks! I am planning to deploy a bacula installation on my network. There are two needs I do not know how to implement with bacula:
1. Mobile FDs with outbound dynamic ip addresses: There are some mobile computers that are online on my network regularly but sometimes they reside outside my network for some longer period. I could open the DIR and SD ports to the public and protect them with TLS/Certs; but for policy reasons I can *not* tell what IP addresses the mobile FDs have (dyndns is no go, sorry) and I cannot know when the FDs are online. 2. Inbound workstations that are seldomly online: There are some FDs on my network that should be backed up regularly whenever they are online but not more often than once a week. I can not tell on which days they are online and on what day time. Regularly these clients are offline for weeks. These "problematic" clients are Windows based, unfortunately. Before I met Bacula I've been using afbackup that has a decentral job control on client side. I could solve my described needs with afbackup, but for several reason afbackup is far too unsexy and works on Unix like OSses, only. (Yes, the author is an idiot.) Many TIA! /hm ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
