It is painful, requires tray-monitor and console configurations on the client-side, but I was able to make it work <http://www.bacula.lat/bacula-firewallnat-transversing-client-initiated-backup/?lang=en>. However, as for Firewall Transversing, the Enterprise Bacula Edition has now a proper better solution <http://www.bacula.lat/bacula-client-behind-nat-support-with-the-connect-to-director-directive/?lang=en> that eventually could be ported to the Community version, but I have no information on that. > -- > David Brodbeck > System Administrator, Department of Mathematics > University of California, Santa Barbara Regards, -- MSc Heitor Faria Bacula LATAM CEO mobile1: + 1 909 655-8971 mobile2: + 55 61 98268-4220 [ https://www.linkedin.com/in/msc-heitor-faria-5ba51b3 ] [ http://www.bacula.com.br/ ] América Latina [ http://bacula.lat/ | bacula.lat ] | [ http://www.bacula.com.br/ | bacula.com.br ]
