Hi Bacula Users, Does anyone have experience setting up Storage Daemons at different sites from the Director? I'm thinking that it would be really nice to have a central console where I can see and control the backups of other sites, but I don't have the bandwidth to send all the data to the central location. If I have a backup device and Storage Daemon local to the clients I want to back up, I think their FDs will send the data straight to their local SD, with the traffic to the Director being minimal by comparison. As near as I can tell from the diagram at the end of the following page, what I want to do should be possible:
http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/What_is_Bacula.html I'm curious for other people's experiences with this sort of setup - how much trouble was it, how much bandwidth does the SD actually use to talk with the Director, what gotchas did you run into, are there any security or permissions issues to keep in mind, etc. It would be nice if I could give someone at each site the ability to restore their own site's files, but not files from other sites.
