Bacula installation of open source network backup software

Several network backup topologies of Bacula

The previous article introduced the Bacula has 5 components, in the actual application, does not need to place 5 parts on the different server, some parts of them can be merged, the common Bacula deployment structure has the following several kinds:

1 Director and SD and console on a machine, while the client FD on another machine, of course, client FD can have one or more platforms.

2 Director and console on a machine, SD on a machine, client FD on one or more platforms.

3 Director and Client FD, SD and console end on a machine, that is, the server itself back up their own, the data saved in this machine.

Second, compile and install Bacula

Here is an introduction to the first Bacula deployment structure in the previous section. The environment is shown in table 4-1.

1. Install Bacula on Bacula server side

First in the http://www.bacula.org download the corresponding source code, here to download the bacula-5.0.1.tar.gz, and then compile the installation process as follows:

[Root@baculaserver opt]# tar zxvf bacula-5.0.1.tar.gz

[root@baculaserveropt]# CD bacula-5.0.1

[Root@baculaserver bacula-5.0.1]#./configure--prefix=/opt/bacula--with-mysql=/opt/mysql

[Root@baculaserver bacula-5.0.1] #make

[Root@baculaserver bacula-5.0.1] #make Install

Bacula requires database support, where MySQL database is used, and assumes MySQL has been installed on the Bacula server side, and the MySQL installation path is/opt/mysql (Bacula at compile time through "--with-mysql" option specifies the installation path for the MySQL database.

After the Bacula installation is complete, all the profiles are placed by default in the/opt/bacula/etc/directory.
