Great, metadata flowing isn't a problem, backing up a machine over our WAN
would be a huge problem.
Thanks,

I have remote servers set up in a "single server" configuration, meaning each
server runs the director, sd, and fd. The remote servers have their own
removable drives to store the backups. The servers only have slow connections
to our central sites. Is it possible to configure a central director, and
still have the clients do their backups to storage that's local to them? My
goal is to manage many remote clients from a central point.
It's definitely possible, I've configured something like it for a client where
both servers have their own tapedrive but only one runs a director.
All you need to do is to have one server with bacula-dir (the central
management server), and all other servers with bacula-sd and bacula-fd.
Then just define all the different Storage devices in your bacula-dir and make
sure each client uses the right one.
If setup correctly you'll only have metadata flowing towards the director, and
all data itself will stay local between the sd and fd on the other servers.
Kind regards,
Jeremy
