I'm a TSA at a large school board. The server is at my main school, but because
of new policies that came in when we switched over to Active Directory from
Novell I don't have login rights to the fileserver anymore. This means that I
can't install the bacula client.
There is no sane backup solution at my biggest school so I decided to use
Ubuntu LTS, a terrabyte external HD and bacula. I do the backups in the middle
of the night (which, of course, is how bacula really likes to work ;-) and
workstations are shut down at 6:30 PM so the number of open files is minimal.
This really is the best I can do at the moment unfortunately.
I'm trying to document how well things work (and, except for this issue, they
work perfectly) so that I can argue for the client being installed on the
server. I don't hold out much hope though.
Ever thought about virtualization? (ie: VirtualBox)
You could virtualize this Windows system, then run bacula on the VirtualBox
host and not have to mess with the Windows piece at all. Of course, it will be
a complete backup every night, but at least you'd be covered.
