I've a CentOS5 server (Red Hat 5 clone) under the table in my living romm, that will run a Bacula server. It has permanent Internet access. Several clients will be backed up - workstations and laptops running Ubuntu, Fedora and Vista. I want to use whatever's the latest stable Bacula version at the time I will start implementing this thing.
The laptops run OpenVPN all the time, so they're permanently connected to my home network. Sometimes the laptops are physically at home, and they are connected through wireless. Some other times, the laptops are somewhere else, and they connect back home via OpenVPN through the Internet. OpenVPN is running all the time no matter what. Here's my dilemma - is there a simple way to tell Bacula to not back up the laptops if they're not home? I'm pretty sure I can come up with a couple scripts that can test whether the laptops are home or remote, but the question is how to integrate that with Bacula? The backup will most likely happen through the OpenVPN tunnel, since that's the only network where these laptops have a fixed address all the time (each VPN client has a dedicated private IP address). If you can't tell that already - I'm a Bacula newbie. :-) -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
