Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula SD on a QNAP TS-231
Hi, I also have a qnap nas for storing backups. I simply mount a nfs directory of the nas in the director, and launch backups against that mountpoint. It's the simplest way, and works flawlessly. No need to compile and/or install anything on the nas. Regards El lun., 15 oct. 2018 22:32, Chris Wilkinson escribió: > I use CIFS to mount 2 dissimilar NAS's on the DIR/FD/SD host.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula SD on a QNAP TS-231
I use CIFS to mount 2 dissimilar NAS's on the DIR/FD/SD host. One is the source, the other is the backup destination. It works just fine. I didn't attempt to put the FD or SD on them natively since they are locked down OS's. I took the precaution of mounting the source read only. I suppose NFS would work too but since I had CIFS mounts for other reasons it seemed sensible to use that. Regards Chris Wilkinson On Mon, 15 Oct 2018, 8:18 p.m. Welington R.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula SD on a QNAP TS-231
Hi Andrea and others, I'm just a beginner in Bacula but I'm talking as who manager 4 QNAP NAS (1x TS-859U+, 3x TS-459U+) and others 2 similar storage like these in the last 6 years. So, if you let me give a humble opinion, configure only a NFS access and share this in your director/storage daemon and disable all the services and apps you will not use. The reasons are: 1st - It is the most simple protocol to configure and use in Linux Machine; 2nd - ISCSI is a most but, in this storage, when you create a LUN in fact it creates some big files mounted as loop devices, so, any problem in your machine means double problem to restore data, reduced performance of the box (compared with NFS it the same machine) and after some days (maybe months) of use this files will increase till the limit of storage and you start to receive alerts of disk-full 4th - As said, you have to maintain the same version of SD and DIR. Compile or look for packages for Linux is easier than to a proprietary NAS. Of course, it is based in my experience with these machines, and can not reflect the reality of your case.
