Has anyone attempted to run the Bacula FD on a Linksys NSLU2 or similar NAS device? For anyone who doesn't know, the NSLU2 (as shipped from Linksys) is a ARM (I think) based NAS box with USB2 ports on it for plugging in external disks. There are a few Linux distributions available for it, including Debian and OpenWRT.
I ask because one of our clients has a building which is physically separate from the main building but still connected via high speed network, which would make an excellent semi-offsite backup, but the environment is pretty hostile (they are a foundry - lots of metal dust and sand) so anything with a fan is not such a good idea. Obviously there are plenty of x86 based box's which would probably meet the criteria, but the NSLU2 is pretty cheap and if it works it would be perfect. Obviously this doesn't replace their current really-offsite backups, but it would give them easier access to the data if required, and a fire in the main office would be unlikely to reach this other building.
