+What: Provide some means, possibly by a restricted console that
allows a FD to initiate a backup, and that uses the connection
established by the FD to the Director for the backup so that
a Director that is firewalled can do the backup.

-Item 11: Implement Storage daemon compression
+Why: Makes backup of laptops much easier.
+Notes: This project consists of the following points
+ 1. Modify the FD to have a "mini-console" interface that
+ permits it to connect to the Director and start a
+ backup job of itself.
+ 2. The list of jobs that can be started by the FD are
+ defined in the Director (possibly via a restricted
+ console).
+ 3. Modify the existing tray monitor code in the Win32 FD
+ so that it is a separate program from the FD.
+ 4. The tray monitor program should be extended to permit
+ initiating a backup.
+ 5. No new Director directives should be added without
+ prior consultation with the Bacula developers.
+ 6. The comm line used by the FD to connect to the Director
+ should be re-used by the Director to do the backup.
+ This feature is partially implemented in the Director.
+ 7. The FD may have a new directive that allows it to start
+ a backup when the FD starts.
+ 8. The console interface to the FD should be extended to
+ permit a properly authorized console to initiate a
+ backup via the FD.
