Re: [Bacula-users] Director for Win32

[Benjamin Menking]

Ray, Thanks for you reply!  I setup a port forwarding tunnel on the internal windows server and it all works great!  The external linux server with the director and storage daemon can talk directly to the file daemon installed on the internal workstations/servers without touching the firewall. For those wanting to do the same, I used PuTTY and PLink.  Would setup instructions for doing this be useful in the Bacula documentation? --= ben Ray Pengelly wrote: The director is not written to run under Windows. It runs on many *nix varieties. I would shy away from running it under Cygwin but that is my personal opinion nothing more. You may have more luck getting through the firewalls if you tunnel communications using ssh.   Ray     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Benjamin Menking Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 10:00 AM To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Bacula-users] Director for Win32   Two questions, actually... We are very impressed with Bacula and use it in several locations.  Hope I put these questions in the correct mailing list. Has the Director been built for Windows or Cygwin?  Our machines are Windows based and behind firewalls.  Since we are using Bacula for remote offsite backups, punching holes through their firewalls are painstaking and adding a linux box behind the firewall is not always possible. I managed to compile the director under cygwin, but it seg faults (I expected this from another project I attempted to compile).  Is there a developer document that details the protocol/commands used between the directory/fd/sd or is it time to read source code? :-) --   Ben Menking IT Security Consulting (864) 420-5603 (864) 751-1638 fax   IT and Business Solutions -- Ben Menking IT Security Consulting (864) 420-5603 (864) 751-1638 fax IT and Business Solutions
