Next, let's take a look at the bacula help document, which is very detailed!

For more information, see Chapter 1 A brief tutorial of the help document.

 

Currently, bacula server can be installed in windows, but it should not be used in the production environment.

The client works. You have to test it first :)

Understand pools, volumes and labels

Volume is a file on a tape or hard disk that stores backup data.

Pool: What if the size of the tape is 20 GB and the size of the tape to be backed up is GB? Of course, it is backed up to multiple tapes. Then, multiple tapes (volume) can form a pool.

The client backs up data to the pool. If a pool does not contain any volume, nothing can be backed up and there is no local backup.

 

Install the bacula server On Debian 4.0r3

1. Execute the installation command:

# Apt-Get install bacula-Server

 

2. Modify the server configuration file/etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf, as shown in red:

 

Director {# define myself
Name = My-Dir
Dirport = 9101 # Where we listen for UA connections
Queryfile = "/etc/bacula/scripts/query. SQL"
Workingdirectory = "/var/lib/bacula"
Piddirectory = "/var/run/bacula"
Maximum concurrent jobs = 1
Password = "mypassword" # Console Password
Messages = daemon
Diraddress = 0.0.0.0
}

 

After editing the configuration file, remember to restart bacula with the command:

/Etc/init. d/bacula-Director restart

3. Then you can install bacula client on Windows. In the prompt box to display ctor information, the address is the IP address of the Debian server. The username is my-Dir and the password is mypassword. Generate the client profile testpc-fd.conf (used When configuring the bacula-dir.conf ). After the installation is complete, use bconsole or bwx-console to log on to my-Dir.

 

4. Change the server configuration file/etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf again and add:

 

# Client (file services) to backup
Client {
Name = testpc
Address = XXX. XXX
Fdport = 9102
Catalog = mycatalog
Password = "myfdpassword" # password for filedaemon
File retention = 30 days #30 days
Job retention = 6 months # six months
Autoprune = yes # prune expired jobs/Files
}

Restart bacula-director.

Restore the backup file to another machine:

In the final confirmation step of executing the restore command, type MoD to enter the modification step and modify the client.
