I would like to understand the way data flows in Bacula a bit better. 
Does the user data that is being backed up flow straight from the SD to 
the FD? Or does the SD send the data to the director, and the director 
then sends the data on to the FD?

The reason I'm asking is that I would like to set up bacula to back up 
data locally on another site. Basically, I would like the director to be 
on a computer in, say, San Diego, and both the SD and FD would be on the 
same local network in, say, Los Angeles. The same director should also 
be able to control a similar SD/FD combination in Miami, New York and 
Seattle.

Obviously, that's not practical if all data has to flow over the 
Internet and through the director, but if the director only exchanges 
control information with SD and FD, it might be very practical. Thus my 
question.

Thanks!
