To come to bacula's defense, I don't quite understand this concept of users being able to restore someone else's files to their computer. Are you giving your users administrative access to the bacula director? I don't think that was how it was intended to be used.
As a bacula admin, I schedule restore jobs on my clients from the bacula console, and I am not going to schedule a windows user's box to be restored with files from a linux user's box. That just wouldn't make sense. Perhaps the solution is to change your bacula configuration. Israel On 10/2/06, Daniel Sterling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Set up a VPN to allow access to the FS from the road. I apologize, I don't have any experience with backup software myself (besides tar+cdrecord), but I'd wager a guess that it's far easier to back-up one FS than any number of individual workstations. -- Dan -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
