Not a stupid question, but you are correct.
What you can do is run two FDs on a client (on different ports), one with 
encryption enabled and the other with no
encryption. Then, just use the right FD for the jobs you want encrypted or not.

Ok. Just i'm here, another 'stupid' question. ;-)

:)


I enable encryption with:
        PKI Signatures = Yes
        PKI Encryption = Yes

i know encryption theory, so it is clear that encryption need signatures. But:

a) how 'PKI Signatures = Yes' relate to job's 'Options { Signature = MD5 }' ?

These two things are 100% unrelated in Bacula.

The `signature` setting in a Fileset's Options{} block is used to create and add a hash of each file to the catalog so that on restore or verify it can be confirmed that the data that is restored/verified is exactly as it was when the filedaemon read it an
d created the hash during the backup job.


b) what happen if i set 'PKI Encryption = Yes' and 'PKI Signatures = No'?

The Filedaemon will encrypt, but not sign the data it sends to the SD during a 
backup.

This may clarify it better: https://www.securew2.com/blog/pki-digital-signature


Hope this helps,
Bill
