I HAVE used a NAS appliance as a bacula storage daemon before.  In
principle, the idea of either obtaining or compiling (directly from the
NAS) a bacula-fd to run directly on the NAS device is plausible, and
might be the best way to save the filesystem metadata - in any case,
it'd be able to back up everything the NAS itself knows including ACL,
extended attributes, and so on.

Coincidentally enough, I'm about to set up a second NAS as a bacula-sd
box.  Perhaps I'll try putting bacula-fd on it as well, in order to keep
a backup of the NAS configuration files elsewhere at least.
