I have noticed an increasing number of public (Windows centric) online backup services. Sometimes they are free or sometimes there is a modest charge. They give the little Windows people a client program that automatically backs up their stuff to some server somewhere.
I thought, wouldn't it be nice if those services ran a Bacula storage daemon for me. I could run a job to backup important stuff, encrypt it and send it to off site storage. Do you suppose such a thing will ever exist? A commercial, public Bacula based service? While I am on blue sky topics, the MS Home Server has a patented ability to only make one backup copy of a file that exists on several machines. This is sort of like the "Base Job" concept only more dynamic and self configuring. Ignoring MS's patent attorneys, has anybody thought out what would be involved in getting Bacula to do something like that?
