Hi
Hello,
The problem is that theses station may been connected from various
location so with different ip addresses.
Have you ever tried to implement a function where the station "say
hello" to the director when it's on a good network link or inside the
local network of the company so the backup are done only when the
station is available ?
Dynamic IP assigment for clients could be realized by setip console command. You can configure restricted console resource for that purpose.
According to the doc, it cant be done natively because its the
director who contact the client on a static address or domain name but
I think that some script can easily tell to start a job in this case
without making a lot of log and errors reporting.
Additionally you can use the checkhost script, located in the Bacula Examples directory for checking if mobile clients are reachable.
