Hello,

I just managed to convert my own project over to subversion and do now
think about backup (I run bacula at home for various other reasons and
want it to backup my project data as well).

SourceForge provides a public rsync service. So its no problem to make a
RunBeforeJob to update a local copy of the repository and then let
bacula store it.

However, from the implementation point of view I think this is a bit of
overhead since it requires local disk space being available and there
must be additional logic to detect whether rsync actually succeeded...
kind of similar to dumping some large SQL database (where one often can
not afford the temporary disk space)

So I wonder how cool it would be to have a public FD running at
SourceForge that I (or anyone else) could use directly from a Director
at home. I could run jobs as usual. Without the need of an 'rsync layer'
in between.

Would the FD be sufficient for such a task? (ie. it must probably run a
fairly large number of jobs at the same time?)

And as a consequence would it be worth suggesting to SF? (I would not do
that myself as I can not speak for the bacula project)

... just a thought ...

best regards,
Stephan
