Heitor,
Thank you for the reply.
The backup source is a studio network solutions Evo NAS appliance.
Unfortunately, I have no access to run bacula FD, nor most of other
things suggested on this appliance as access is only via appliance
developer designer means. I do not have any shell access to this
appliance. Off the top of my head, I believe my only access options to
this Evo NAS are smb (I believe 3.x), read only iSCSI, or afs (apple
file sharing - obviously not something I want to try). This Evo NAS
appliance is running Gentoo Linux.
Wait, it runs Gentoo and they locked it down that hard somehow?
Gut feeling says you should be able to install almost anything you want
onto it, but it may be some work depending on how they locked it down.
(This would of course probably void your warranty.)
That said, if you can't put a fd on it directly, given those options the
next best thing would probably be to mount it as an iSCSI target.
You might also consider asking them if they would consider a Bacula-fd
package available. But my experience is that to NAS consumer-appliance
manufacturers, backup is at best an afterthought. I went through this
with a NAS appliance which QNAP proudly claimed ran Linux and ZFS, only
to find out that through idiotic choices and Byzantine design decisions
they had crippled it so badly it might as well have been running Windows.
