I am having a similar problem with my own laptops. For now i have ended up in a conclusion that this problem should be splited into two separated cases:
1) Network connectivity 2) Backup (re)scheduling First one should be simply solved by introducing vpn. Another point is bareos architectutre and way how dir and sd connects to the fd. Your vpn may have static addresses inside however i do not know how bareos is protected against fd ip address change. You may also have a list of base locations where running with vpn turned on is going to be sub-optimal. Second. Roadwarriors are roadwarriors. From one side there should be a baseline schedule. On the other side you will see many failures so likely having a presence detection can be helpful. It may be also useful if you allow your laptop owners to start backup jobs on their own. It is them who know following: - network conditions in a current location - how long are they going to be online - if there is something important to backup right here and right now Regards, Bart sob., 2 lut 2019 o 14:56 Brock Palen <[email protected]> napisał(a): > I have a few roaming clients.
