Hi folks, I'm sure this one's fairly simple but its eluding me at the moment. I'm setting up a service for backing up client data and Bacula seems like quite a good way of doing it as we run a FreeBSD server. I especially like the way you configure the backups server side so noone can fiddle with it as those pesky clients always do :) If it works out, I'm quite happy to incorporate a donation for the project into our billing!
Right now though I'm testing it at our own site and I've hit a bit of a snag. We have a NAS box running NFS mounts. I have some data stored on the box which I want to back up. The problem is that the NFS mounts are password protected to stop other people on the network just browsing the sensitive stuff. The machine running the fd has the path mounted as a drive but I imagine that the fd doesn't have access to these credentials as it has to run as the system account. So how do I do it? I don't think there's a way to specify credentials in the FileSet definition on the server, and I'd rather not keep all the passwords there anyway. Is there a proper way to supply credentials? I've tried: fd service running as system fd service running as local user already authenticated to the NAS box I've also tried accessing the box directly (//192.168.x.x/path/to/share) and via a mapped network drive (Y:/path/to/share) Nothing I try seems to get access to the share. I can envisage client situations where the nfs mount is done all sorts of different ways..passwords synched through Active Directory, no AD at all with passwords synched to user accounts, and sometimes no synchronisation at all so without a way to specify credentials then I'm pretty much stuffed! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
