Re: [Bacula-users] How to backup shares on a NAS without bacula-fd ?
I don't know the answare, but if it runs samba means the the SO is linux, so I think you can connect to it with ssh, and there I think you can put and run one static-bacula-fd and the confing file.. If this works well in same folder you will find the mount point of his disks, and you can find all the share In this ways you can backup all the file with their permission, and also the smb.conf file I never have tried this kind of solution, but in my opinion it sounds good :) 2010/1/20 Mikael Kermorgant mikael.kermorg...@gmail.com: Hello, We're planning to move file shares from a windows DC to a dedicated NAS appliance (something like a thecus N8800 for example).

Re: [Bacula-users] How to backup shares on a NAS without bacula-fd ?
I try to avoid NFS for heavy or prolonged use because of bad experiences. I have an untried 15-bay Coraid AOE array. What I have accomplished is to notice that the AOE array disks show up, without re-configuring the kernel, on a linux box via the LAN and a mount later, it's available for use. I can opt to go multi gig but my needs are tiny. If anyone needs a test done, I'll be happy to comply.
