Thanks for the info. I should clarify and say that the remote sites are 
connected over a VPN connection.

·        Can I “seed” the backup process by copying data to a drive and moving 
that to the bacula server? This would be done before I start the backup process 
on bacula.

·        Is there a recommended way to backup remote servers over a VPN 
connection?

Thanks!

Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Backing up 3 remote locations

I’m brand new to bacula. Here’s what I’m trying to do.
Hey Mr. Damien: welcome.

1.      I have windows servers in 3 remote locations that I need to backup

2.      Is there a recommended way to do this? I was hoping for a central 
backup server for everything.
Ok. Bacula Director will have to access the clients through some port (default 
9102).
Clients will send backup data back to your central server that will probably 
host the storage daemon (default 9103).
Here is the diagram:

3.      Does bacula do deduplication? I’m hoping deduplication will help me 
save on storage and bandwidth usage.
Bacula community current deduplication is only useful if you have the very 
exact same file in the different servers, since it will only copy the same file 
once. You can always have more incremental backups and fewer full to save your 
bandwidth.
Bacula Enterprise has a new feature call Global Deduplication that works on the 
storage and I think it should be more practical.
