You already got some reply on the list, please don't just ask twice about the same bacula-unrelated thing. But I've done some work on this yesterday and while not yet done implementing it, this will even work with bacula given a few requirements. I won't go into detail for the simple approach of what You want, this can easily found in google groups -> comp.unix.shell You don't say which operating system You are using, I'll just assume it's some linux distro, then? - now for the bacula related part in a few short steps: kernel >=2.6.14 get FUSE sources and build/load the module get fuseftp from http://wiki.thiesen.org/page/Fuseftp fuseftp /mnt/backup 'user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path' # yes, it's the wrong way round ;) install bacula use a filestorage in the ftp target directory with automatic mount = No always open = No i.e. /mnt/backup/bacula001 configure automounter to access the ftp on access, but not otherwise. after that, go after the chapter of using multiple pools for differentials/ fulls to multiple file based pools in the manual. if possible, also hack fuseftp to get the password from a crypted file or something, otherwise it's going to show up in ps output. The best part about this of course is You can control those backups from Your regular bacula-dir, but don't get vast amounts of traffic accounted. If I get around to finish it, I'll write some documentation on the whole setup, but given my usual lag this is either finished today or never :) And I'd be glad if You do the same in case You go this way.
