I can't install cygwin or a daemon for that matter on the Windows Server, but I could execute a scheduled job to run a Widows port of rsync on the file server which I am not opposed to at all. My only problem with that is how do I then trigger the Bacula server to begin the dump to tape once the sync is complete?
Use a batch file and schedule that. :)
@echo off del /place/you/sync/to/done.txt robocopy/rsync files (whatever) echo > /place/you/sync/to/done.txt
Schedule the batch file for say 11:00pm
At some reasonable time schedule a bash script in Linux via cron:
#!/bin/bash while test ! -e done.txt; do sleep 1m done tar -czf /dev/tape /sync/path
Simple. :) The above script will wait until done.txt exists and then backs up the repository. If you're really lucky Bacula has a post backup script that can be run. I'm rather traditional and use tar. :)
