Hello everybody,
has anyone implemented a bacula-cantered backup strategy that involved
"users" machines?
I mean, like someone's desktop.
There are a few general problems I see along the way:
* The scheduling - you can certainly schedule backups for a working
hour and hope that the guy's is working at that moment, but hey... Is
there any way to "invoke" a backup from client side (I don't know, like
on system startup) -- "Hey, I'm ready, backup me!" :-)
* The IP addresses - again one could try to fix client's IP address or
have DHCP automatically update a fixed name, like
desktop-jon.company.com but that seems pretty flaky. Is there any way
to, maybe, update the client IP from client side?
Is it totally unfeasible to use Bacula in such scenario?
Any pointer to any kind of documentation or just a few lines of real
usage experiences would be great...
Thanks in advance
