Maybe I am out of line here as I am not on the developer list, in fact
still a new Bacula user. But I am curious what the method will be for
"tree selection of files for backup" and "graphical creation of FileSets"?
The reason I ask is that we have had much discussion here about wanting
a graphical application for running on the fd side so a user with access
could manage the backup for that fd machine only. Such as our
development department, right now they send changes to the FileSet to
me, with a Bacula GUI they might be able to manage their own backups.
The one holdup was that Bacula maintains it's FileSet information in the
bacula-dir.conf on the dir. How will the GUI manage this information? I
would not want someone on development-fd to cause a config reload on
director-dir at will.
Would it be possible to store FileSet information in the DB? Possibly
the bacula-dir could read the next client job from the bacula-dir.conf,
and fetch the FileSet from SQL.
Job {
Name = newjob
JobDefs = newjob
SQLFileSet = newjob
Write Bootstrap = "/data/backups/newjob.bsr"
}
Is this a feature request?
Thanks,
DAve

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
