Question, for those that use/have used bacula: I've been setting up
backups for one team, the server on CentOS 6, but they're on
Windows. If we install the director on Windows, is it possible for
the users to restore files from the server to their own machine?
Please check that I'm getting this right.
* You've got the director running on a CentOS machine.
* You've got file daemons running on Windows machines.
* You want to restore files from CentOS director to Windows clients.
Is that right? If so, you can restore from the director on CentOS to
the file daemons on Windows without further ado.
'Friad not. My users are saying they'd like the ability, from their
Windows machines, to restore, without having to ask me to do
something from the server. And they want to be able to chose the
files to restore....
My first thought is, give them a shared filesystem with snapshots so
that's not necessary. :-)
My second thought is that Bacula has restricted consoles:
http://www.bacula.org/7.0.x-manuals/en/main/Console_Configuration.html
By default, a restricted console has no privileges at all, so you can
give only the access it needs. I've never done such things, however,
so I can't vouch for its operation.
