There are several ways this could be done.
- bacula-dir connects to the client and bacula-sd and after that
bacula-sd connects to the bacula-fd on the serve that needs to
backed up.
Something like this (from the Dealing with Firewalls doc. section):
DIR -> SD:9103
DIR -> FD:9102
FD -> SD:9103
- Bacula 7.0.x brought new feature "SD Calls Client".
In that case bacula-sd would connect to the client instead and might
be of interest to you
- There is also a way initiate backup from the client side in which
case bacula-dir and bacula-sd would the same socket. I am not sure
about that statement because I didn't test it. Also, I don't think
this feature is available in community version of Bacula.
Whatever path you chose it very important to protect it using TLS
and that parts is very complex. You would need to create and use
these certificates:
# bacula-dir.conf:
- Director: server certificate
- Storage: client certificate
- Client: client certificate
# bacula-sd.conf
- Storage: server certificate
- Director: server certificate
# bacula-fd.conf
- Director: server certificate
- FileDaemon: client certificate
# bconsole.conf
- Director: client certificate
I would encourage you to use TLS although it's painfully slow and
complex process. That's even more important because your packets
will have to go through the internet.
Apart from bacula, you might chose to create a tunnel between the
backup and client server. In that case you could opt to use openvpn,
ipsec or even ssh but I would turn to those only as a temporary solution.
