Rod, A method you could do to accomplish this task is to do the following: 1. Setup Bacula on the server on the lan. 2. Run backups to local disk volumes. 3. On the final backup run a run after script/command to copy all volumes of data to a remote site. Note: I believe there is something about spooling data on local disk before writing to the storage device. You may not even need to have a script that pushes this data.
Something you want to keep in mind is that you want to have your backup server in the location where you have a many to one relationship. The Bacula is split into 3 items which have various communication needs. Bacula Director - This manages and schedules clients / also initiates jobs and handles logging. Bacula Storage Daemon - This is your storage device. Clients connect here to push data under the direction given by the Director. Bacula File Daemon - This runs on your clients and simply waits for commands from the Director to include scripts to run. Bconsole / Bacula Administration Tool (BAT) - tools to restore and monitor backups as they run. It is my current understanding of bacula that the following ports need to be open. Backup Server Director -> Bacula Data Base Backup Server Director -> Client File Daemon 9102 Clients File Daemon -> Backup Storage 9103 Backup Server Bconsole/BAT -> Backup Director 9101 Doug Forster On Mon, 2010-03-01 at 13:29 -0800, Roderick A.
