I am building a possibly distributed application (Adump, which I've resurrected from years back ). I would like this program to be able to allow network-based backups. A common model for this problem is to run a program on each machine that needs to be backed up. The machine containing the backup hardware then connects to these machines and uses them to extract the necessary information from that machine. I'm trying to figure out if this model fits well enough with the Glade or even DSA model, or if I should just implement my own protocol over GNAT.Sockets. The problem I see is that the notion of clients and servers is a bit mixed around from typical. The "clients" are generally the programs that remain running long term, and the "server" is what is invoked periodically. I suppose I could have a server program that stays running, and just has the purpose of being the boot server to maintain the connection with the clients. Any suggestions or advice would be helpful.
