Folks; maybe the subject sounds strange, nevertheless: In our environment, we use to do backups (a) from several servers to a machine having a large disk array attached using rsync and (b) from there to tape using afio+wrapper-scripts. So far, this works well, and the reason for making use of this technology is that people around here want to have the backed-up repository available as a read-only SMB share just in case it is ever needed (actually, it sometimes is).
After playing around with it for a while, I've grown to like bacula as a distributed backup solution as it drastically eases maintaineance effort taken to rsync files from all over to one central place. However, using bacula to store a backup to disk always leaves me with a backup folder containing bacula "volume files" which are inaccessible to an arbitrary user (who shouldn't be meant to mess with the bconsole). My question: Is there a way to set up the bacula-storage to dump files to a disk into a file system structure that could be shared using SMB, NFS, whatever? How can I achieve this effect, or is it not currently supported / thought of? Any reading pointers on that?
