I have a couple of those types of devices which run bacula-sd instances 
and save to the attached disks on those.

I've have a couple of Linksys NSLU2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSLU2 
that has Debian Lenny installed on it and just uses the stock Debian 
bacula packages so in terms of management it is no different to any 
other Debian system with bacula installed.

Of course you have to be aware that USB attached storage doesn't allow 
access to the disk SMART data so you may not get warned about impending 
storage failures before it is too late. I balance this risk against the 
reduced power consumption and quietness of these devices.

I also have a Thecus N4100+ 
http://www.thecus.com/products_spec.php?cid=10&pid=28&set_language=english 
that I use as a SD instance. Internally those devices run something 
close to Debian Woody and they accept modules that give you ssh shell 
access to the device. From that shell I used the Debian debootstrap 
procedure to create a Debian Woody chroot environment and build Bacula 
5.0.3 against that. I had to disable a number of things like SSL 
support. I wouldn't exactly suggest that this is something that a 
general end user should attempt but it does allow me to make good use of 
an otherwise unused device.

Note that I haven't attempted to run a director on any of these boxes. I 
have a separate machine that is more suited to that.

Sorry but I didn't really keep detailed setup notes over and above using 
the various manuals/howtos on the internet that explain how to setup the 
individual bits.
