Hi! 
If the NAS are Synology (Most I've used works like a charm) you can use the Backup option that uses rsync inside... But you can compile Bacula into some Synology Devices too... (Google is your friend!)

I have a small setup like this working:

HP Proliant MicroServer (AMD 1,3Ghz/4GB/2x250SoftwareRAID) (Bacula-DIR, Bacula-SD) + Ethernet Gigabit PciE4x Low Profile (Cheapest config!)
Synology NAS DS212J with iSCSI exported to the HP Proliant server (/backup)

All the computers in the network has a Bacula FD installed and saves their backups jobs to the HP Proliant MicroServer thats saves this data to the Synology via iSCSI through the second ethernet interface. 

The HP MicroServer it's not a powerfull server but it's so quiet and cheapest than any other setup, and you can expand it to 4 drives and up to 8GB RAM.

Maybe the best option could be do the job with the tools that offers your  NAS ... I don't know ;)

Best Regards!

Javier.

Hy,

Thanks for your answer, I was expecting this kind of answer. It confirms what I was thinking.
rsync will be a good solution.

I still have a question probably due to my misunderstanding. You wrote
"You will need a bacula daemon on a NAS otherwise (unworkable)."

I don't know what I must understand :
- It is totally impossible to run bacula daemon on a NAS
- There is no bacula dameon for NAS and I will have to compile it (I found some ressources for compiling bacula on NAS)
- You could do everything you were thinking of but it's far far away from a good practice.

Which interpretation of you're sentence should be the right one?

Anywa, a great thanks for your fast answer.

regards

Hi,

Dont use bacula and use rsync instead. most (all?) NAS devices will allow you to rsync from device to device. You will need a bacula daemon on a NAS otherwise (unworkable).

Hy folks,

I explain my context. I have a web agency as customer that store its production on a NAS. They are working from their IMac and sharing files on the NAS. They want to be more secure and make some increments backups. Of course they need some "GUI" because they are not as geeks as me ;-)
I know that there also will be other needs behind this single one, that's why I think bacula could be a great solution.

Yet, some questions are not totally clear from now.

I have a question regarding to backing up files from a NAS with  Bacula and storing backups to another NAS.
I read many documentations and I understand that backup files could be store to a NAS instead of a Tape. Is this point correct?
On another part, I would like to save the files tahta are on a "production NAS". As bacula need client (If I understand well) does that meens that I need to find a client for my specific device?

Thansk for reading my poor french level of english,

regards
