we have a bacula backup infrastructure, so backup of NAS files with a DSS bacula client directly from the storageserver would be the best way. For Arcserve, Retrospect and BackupExec an agent is integrated in open-e DSS. Can this also be done for bacula?
I have asked our engineers to investigate this and to see if we can have this in our future
request list for DSS and NAS-R3 Enterprise. Please be patient as no time table is set for this until the next 3 months for review, as we a have so many requests in front. Interesting though this is the first request for this, let's hope we have more to push this faster
We are going to buy two DSS-based NAS/SAN appliances, and would also like to integrate them into our existing bacula infrastructure.
Bacula being open source software should be easy to integrate. Open-e is a GNU/Linux system - so there should be no problem with the (L)GPL license, I think.
