New to bacula and need some help. We need to have regular daily backups
of all of our cad job files and our office files mirrored to an off-site

both our file server and the off site computer are windows machines. We
are moving the server to a dual opteron linux box (debian sarge). On
the linux machine I have set up two partitions /job_files and
/office_files where current files are stored. Can I use bacula to make
back-ups of these partitions to the off-site windows machine?
I had to read this a couple of times before I figured out the real
question. The short answer to your question is that Windows is
supported by Bacula only as a client, so you cannot use either a local
or remote Windows machine to run a Bacula storage daemon.
This reminds me of something someone might try sometime... perhaps even
me :-)
It *could* be possible to get bacula running under windows with MS's
Services For Unix. These can be freely downloaded and they claim that
they support a complete POSIX environment. You can use the usual gcc
tool chain, and there is even a unix flavor so compatible that you can
install packages for that one. I forgot the name, but it was one of the
nix companies MS bough out a while ago... interix or something sounds
familiar... anyway, they claim SFU delivers an almost "regular" BSD
environment.
I wouldn't try accessing tape devices, but disk storage should work if
you get the SD compiled, I guess.
