Short version: if your customers want you to run a remote backup service for them but won't allow you to have a communication channel their servers to do it, you have a problem. If their data is so sensitive they won't allow a VPN to the backup server, it's probably too sensitive to be backed up remotely anyway, and if that's the case they should consider local backup to removable media and a bonded offsite archival service. (In the US, Iron Mountain would be such a service.) -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications [email protected] [email protected] Landline: 603.293.8485 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
