Bacula: backups that don't suck

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 08:00:00 GMT
Good systems administrators know that implementing a robust backup procedure is one of their most important duties. Unfortunately, it's also one of the most complex and least fun. When the phone rings and there's a panic-stricken user on the other end who has just lost a crucial document, you need to be confident that you can promptly recover his missing files. Failure to do so can bring about a speedy end to a promising career in systems administration. So what's a budding sysadmin to do? Download the latest release of Bacula and watch those backup woes disappear into the dark of night.

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

bacula-dir

BACULA-DIR(8)					       Network backup, recovery&verification					     BACULA-DIR(8)

NAME

       bacula-dir - Bacula Director

SYNOPSIS

       bacula-dir [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the bacula-dir command.
       Bacula's  Director  Daemon  acts  as the controller of the network backup system: it is responsible for scheduling and coordinating backups
       across the network.

OPTIONS

       -c file
	      Specify the configuration file to use.

       -d nn  Set debug level to nn.

       -dt    Print timestamp in debug output.

       -f     Run in foreground (for debugging).

       -g group
	      Set the group/gid to run as.

       -r job Run <job>.

       -s     No signals (for debugging).

       -t     Test the configuration file and report errors.

       -u user
	      Set the username/uid to run as.

       -v     Set verbose mode.

       -?     Show version and usage of program.

TCP-WRAPPERS CONFIGURATION
       Tcpwrappers looks for the service name of the bacula daemons in hosts.allow , and the service names of these daemons is	configured  to	be
       different from the binary.  The service names are configured to be %hostname%-%component% rather than bacula-dir (As defined in the bacula-
       dir.conf.in file)

       So the hosts.allow entry has to match %hostname%-%component% (servername-dir for example) instead of bacula-%component%

       WARNING: This means that if the hosts.allow file has the entry:

       bacula-dir: ALL

       you will not be able to run bconsole to connect to the local director!

       The entry would have to read:

       server-dir: ALL

       and this will allow the console to connect to the director.  (The process running is bacula-dir.)
