http://doc.bareos.org/master/html/bareos-manual-main-reference.html#ClientInitiatedConnection is what you want. Then the client is responsible to create a network connection to the Bareos director. If normal scheduling do not apply, as the clients are not available all the time, you might also combine this with the proposal from slide "When Client is present, trigger backup" at https://fosdem.org/2017/schedule/event/backup_dr_bareos_scripting/attachments/slides/1445/export/events/attachments/backup_dr_bareos_scripting/slides/1445/Interacting_with_Bareos.pdf Jörg -- Jörg Steffens [email protected] Bareos GmbH & Co.
