Hello all,

while we have been extremely happy over the years using Bacula to handle our
internal systems, we are a bit stumped now on how to backup a machine
outside of a rather restrictive firewall.

Said firewall is basically configured to deny all incoming connections (but
allows connections initiated from the inside).

With the default approach Bacula uses

1. Director (inside of firewall) tells File Daemon (outside of firewall) on
        remote machine to begin backup -- OK
        
2. File Daemon (outside of firewall) attempts to connect to Storage Daemon
(inside of firewall) -- FAILS

we are getting nowhere. Is there a possibility to configure the Storage
Daemon to use something like a ``pull'' mode, resulting in

1. Director (inside of firewall) tells File Daemon (outside of firewall) on
        remote machine to begin backup

2. Director (inside of firewall) tells Storage Daemon (inside of firewall) to
        connect to File Daemon (outside of firewall)
        
3. File Daemon (outside of firewall) can now stream data to Storage Daemon
(inside of firewall)

I'd also be interested to know how other users have tackled such a setup!

Many thanks,
  Andreas
