[Bacula-devel] Oracle, Smart Card, ATL P3000

[<ba...@gm...>]

Hi!

I'm searching for a backup-system with some unusual features and
I was sure that such a system does not exist until I stumbled across
bacula this morning.

Congratulation - I'm deeply impressed!! Bacula has some very unique
features and is almost what I'm looking for. Since it's free software
it should be possible to add what's missing and that's the reason
why I'm posting this on the development list.

1) We would like to use our Oracle database to store the index
information. How much work would that be for someone like me that
is familiar with Oracle but unfamiliar with Bacula? Were should
I start to implement this?

2) All our users authenticate themself with a smart card. We would
like to use this smart card to authenticate the users W2K workstation
against the bacula server too. Also if a user does a backup of its
workstation we want to encrypt the backup by the public key of the
users smart card. Bacula seems to have all the neccessary prerequisites
as it supports RSA-keys already. It only misses support for using
certificates and private-keys that are stored on a smart card. So did 
OpenVPN until the OpenVPN-team added PKCS#11-support recently.
Would that be an option for bacual too?

3) The filenames of our clients contain sensitive information and
must be encrypted too. Is their any hope that bacula will
encrypt both file content and file names?

4) How about support for an ATL P3000 tape library?
