Bacula

"It comes by night and sucks the vital essence from your computers." -Bacula Project

How perfect for Transylvania... muhahahaha!

Bacula is an enterprise-class, open source, network backup solution. While its configuration and use may seem daunting to understand at first, its structure is very logical and easy to use and maintain once you understand the basics. Bacula is supported by a team of developers that also offer commercial support for the product which is in its third version.

Bacula's Website

Basics

Bacula consists of 3 basic daemons and thus 3 config files:

1. bacula-dir.conf - The director config.. the BIG config.. jobs, clients, schedules, etc (server only)
2. bacula-sd.conf - The storage daemon config.. tape and/or disk drive config (server only)
3. bacula-fd.conf - The file daemon config.. allows the director to backup the system (server + clients)

TBC..

Web GUI Install (bweb)

• Bweb is a Perl based web front-end to Bacula. Great for reporting and checking logs, though I wouldn't recommend using it to interface with the Bacula directore - use bconsole.

yum install perl-Date-Calc perl-Expect perl-HTML-Template perl-GD perl-GD-Graph perl-Time-ParseDate
*NOTE*: Perl's Time::ParseDate module is required but isn't available via 'yum' at this time. Might have to use cpan.

cd /usr/local/bacula-src/bacula-gui-3.0.2/bweb

• Edit 'install_bweb'
  • Set CONF_DIR=/usr/local/bacula
  • Set WEB_DIR=/var/www/html
  • Set CGI_BIN=/var/www/cgi-bin
  • Set HTTP_USER=apache
  • Set HTTP_GROUP=apache
  • Set DB_PW="bacula"

• Run "./bweb_install"
• Run "mysql bacula -u bacula --password < script/bweb-mysql.sql"
• Run "mkdir /var/spool/bweb"
• Run "chown apache.apache /var/spool/bweb"

• Browse to http://kay.cs.transy.edu/bweb. No data should be present as the daemons aren't running, but the page should render without data.
  • Select "Configuration" from top menu and set the following fields:
    • fv_write_path = /var/spool/bweb
    • bconsole = /usr/local/bacula/bin/bconsole -n -c /usr/local/bacula/bconsole.conf
    • wiki_url = http://www.cs.transy.edu/wiki
  • Click "Save"
  • Select and delete the default "autochanger"

• To secure access to Bweb..
  • Run "htpasswd -c /etc/httpd/passwords root"
    • Set root password
  • Save the following to /etc/httpd/conf.d/bweb.conf:

#  Web application to manage Bacula
#

<Directory "/var/www/html/bweb">
  Order Deny,Allow
  Deny from all
  Allow from 127.0.0.1
  Allow from 10.

  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Bacula's Bweb Interface"
  AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/passwords
  Require user root
</Directory>

<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin/bweb">
  Order Deny,Allow
  Deny from all
  Allow from 127.0.0.1
  Allow from 10.

  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Bacula's Bweb Interface"
  AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/passwords
  Require user root
</Directory>

First Run

• As root, run "bacula start", you shouldn't get any errors.
• Now launch the console interface to Bacula by running "bconsole"
  • Type "quit" to exit

Client Installation

• RPMs:

File:Bacula-client-3.0.2-1.el5.x86 64.rpm

1. Download the appropriate RPM above.
2. As root, run "rpm -ivh Bacula-client-3.0.2-1.el5.x86_64.rpm"
3. Edit /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf:
   1. The password under the first "Director" section should be randomly generated for each client. Make note of this password as it will need to be entered in the server's bacula-dir.conf config.
   2. The name under the "FileDaemon" should be changed to match the client's FQDN followed by "-fd".
