Thanks for the response.
Yeah I thought of that however my problem is I have allocated space on NAS
device through our service provider which I would like to use for which there
is no machine that I could install the SD. I can just mount the drive. Also,
I would was hoping I could use Bacula to store data to remote backup
providers/filesystems like rsync.net and mozypro.com etc. which would also
require mounting the device as a shared drive as you don't have control of the
physical machine that houses that storage space. I guess for now I will have
to do it locally and once a week upload the volumes to the offsite/remote
storage location.
Does anyone know if there is plans to support network backup devices in the
future for compatibility with remote backup providers etc.?
Thanks,
Mike
