Subsectionsbacula-3.0.3.tar.gz This is the primary source code release for Bacula. On each release the version number (3.0.3) will be updated. bacula-docs-3.0.3.tar.gz This file contains a copy of the docs directory with the documents prebuild. English HTML directory, single HTML file, and pdf file. The French and German translations are in progress, but are not built. bacula-gui-3.0.3.tar.gz This file contains the non-core GUI programs. Currently, it contains bacula-web, a PHP program for producing management viewing of your Bacula job status in a browser; and bimagemgr a browser program for burning CDROM images with Bacula Volumes. bacula-rescue-3.0.3.tar.gz This is the Bacula Rescue CDROM code. Note, the version number of this package is not tied to the Bacula release version, so it will be different. Using this code, you can burn a CDROM with your system configuration and containing a statically linked version of the File daemon. This can permit you to easily repartition and reformat your hard disks and reload your system with Bacula in the case of a hard disk failure. Unfortunately this rescue disk does not properly boot for all Linux distributions. The problem is that the boot procedure can vary significantly between distributions, and even within a distribution, they are a moving target.winbacula-3.0.3.exe This file is the 32 bit Windows installer for installing the Windows client (File daemon) on a Windows machine. This client will also run on 64 bit Windows machines. Beginning with Bacula version 1.39.20, this executable will also optionally load the Win32 Director and the Win32 Storage daemon. win64bacula-3.0.3.exe This file is the 64 bit Windows installer for installing the Windows client (File daemon) on a Windows machine. This client will only run on 64 bit Windows OS machines. It will not run on 32 bit machines or 32 bit Windows OSes. The win64bacula release is necessary for Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) to work on Win64 OSes. This installer installs only the FD, the Director and Storage daemon are not included.

-prefix=patch This option is meant to allow you to direct where the architecture independent files should be placed. However, we find this a somewhat vague concept, and so we have not implemented this option other than what ./configure does by default. As a consequence, we suggest that you avoid it. We have provided options that allow you to explicitly specify the directories for each of the major categories of installation files. -sbindir=binary-path Defines where the Bacula binary (executable) files will be placed during a make install command. -sysconfdir=config-path Defines where the Bacula configuration files should be placed during a make install command. -mandir=path Note, as of Bacula version 1.39.14, the meaning of any path specified on this option is change from prior versions. It now specifies the top level man directory. Previously the mandir specified the full path to where you wanted the man files installed. The man files will be installed in gzip'ed format under mandir/man1 and mandir/man8 as appropriate. For the install to succeed you must have gzip installed on your system.-datadir=path If you translate Bacula or parts of Bacula into a different language you may specify the location of the po files using the -datadir option. You must manually install any po files as Bacula does not (yet) automatically do so. -disable-ipv6 -enable-smartalloc This enables the inclusion of the Smartalloc orphaned buffer detection code. This option is highly recommended. Because we never build without this option, you may experience problems if it is not enabled. In this case, simply re-enable the option. We strongly recommend keeping this option enabled as it helps detect memory leaks. This configuration parameter is used while building Bacula -enable-bat If you have Qt4 >= 4.3.4 installed on your computer including the libqt4 and libqt4-devel (libqt4-dev on Debian) libraries, and you want to use the Bacula Administration Tool (bat) GUI Console interface to Bacula, you must specify this option. Doing so will build everything in the src/qt-console directory. The build with enable-bat will work only with a full Bacula build (i.e. it will not work with a client-only build). -enable-batch-insert This option enables batch inserts of the attribute records (default) in the catalog database, which is much faster (10 times or more) than without this option for large numbers of files. However, this option will automatically be disabled if your SQL libraries are not thread safe. If you find that batch mode is not enabled on your Bacula installation, then your database most likely does not support threads.-enable-bwx-console If you have wxWidgets installed on your computer and you want to use the wxWidgets GUI Console interface to Bacula, you must specify this option. Doing so will build everything in the src/wx-console directory. This could also be useful to users who want a GUI Console and don't want to install QT, as wxWidgets can work with GTK+, Motif or even X11 libraries. -enable-tray-monitor If you have GTK installed on your computer, you run a graphical environment or a window manager compatible with the FreeDesktop system tray standard (like KDE and GNOME) and you want to use a GUI to monitor Bacula daemons, you must specify this option. Doing so will build everything in the src/tray-monitor directory. Note, due to restrictions on what can be linked with GPLed code, we were forced to remove the egg code that dealt with the tray icons and replace it by calls to the GTK+ API, and unfortunately, the tray icon API necessary was not implemented until GTK version 2.10 or later. -enable-static-tools This option causes the linker to link the Storage daemon utility tools (bls, bextract, and bscan) statically. This permits using them without having the shared libraries loaded. If you have problems linking in the src/stored directory, make sure you have not enabled this option, or explicitly disable static linking by adding -enable-static-fd This option causes the make process to build a static-bacula-fd in addition to the standard File daemon. This static version will include statically linked libraries and is required for the Bare Metal recovery. This option is largely superseded by using make static-bacula-fd from with in the src/filed directory. Also, the -enable-static-sd This option causes the make process to build a static-bacula-sd in addition to the standard Storage daemon. This static version will include statically linked libraries and could be useful during a Bare Metal recovery.-enable-static-dir This option causes the make process to build a static-bacula-dir in addition to the standard Director. This static version will include statically linked libraries and could be useful during a Bare Metal recovery.-enable-static-cons This option causes the make process to build a static-console in addition to the standard console. This static version will include statically linked libraries and could be useful during a Bare Metal recovery.-enable-client-only This option causes the make process to build only the File daemon and the libraries that it needs. None of the other daemons, storage tools, nor the console will be built. Likewise a make install will then only install the File daemon. To cause all daemons to be built, you will need to do a configuration without this option. This option greatly facilitates building a Client on a client only machine.-enable-build-dird This option causes the make process to build the Director and the Director's tools. By default, this option is on, but you may turn it off by using -disable-build-dird to prevent the Director from being built. -enable-build-stored This option causes the make process to build the Storage daemon. By default, this option is on, but you may turn it off by using -disable-build-stored to prevent the Storage daemon from being built. -enable-largefile This option (default) causes Bacula to be built with 64 bit file address support if it is available on your system. This permits Bacula to read and write files greater than 2 GBytes in size. You may disable this feature and revert to 32 bit file addresses by using -disable-nls By default, Bacula uses the GNU Native Language Support (NLS) libraries. On some machines, these libraries may not be present or may not function correctly (especially on non-Linux implementations). In such cases, you may specify -disable-nls to disable use of those libraries. In such a case, Bacula will revert to using English. -disable-ipv6 By default, Bacula enables IPv6 protocol. On some systems, the files for IPv6 may exist, but the functionality could be turned off in the kernel. In that case, in order to correctly build Bacula, you will explicitly need to use this option so that Bacula does not attempt to reference OS function calls that do not exist. -with-sqlite3=sqlite3-path This enables use of the SQLite version 3.x database. The sqlite3-path is not normally specified as Bacula looks for the necessary components in a standard location (depkgs/sqlite3). See Installing and Configuring SQLiteSqlLiteChapter chapter of this manual for more details. SQLite3 is not supported on Solaris. -with-mysql=mysql-path This enables building of the Catalog services for Bacula. It assumes that MySQL is running on your system, and expects it to be installed in the mysql-path that you specify. Normally, if MySQL is installed in a standard system location, you can simply use -with-mysql with no path specification. If you do use this option, please proceed to installing MySQL in the Installing and Configuring MySQLMySqlChapter chapter before proceeding with the configuration.-with-postgresql=path This provides an explicit path to the PostgreSQL libraries if Bacula cannot find it by default. Normally to build with PostgreSQL, you would simply use -with-postgresql.-with-openssl=path This configuration option is necessary if you want to enable TLS (ssl), which encrypts the communications within Bacula or if you want to use File Daemon PKI data encryption. Normally, the path specification is not necessary since the configuration searches for the OpenSSL libraries in standard system locations. Enabling OpenSSL in Bacula permits secure communications between the daemons and/or data encryption in the File daemon. For more information on using TLS, please see the Bacula TLS - Communications EncryptionCommEncryption chapter of this manual. For more information on using PKI data encryption, please see the Bacula PKI - Data EncryptionDataEncryption chapter of this manual. -with-python=path This option enables Bacula support for Python. If no path is supplied, configure will search the standard library locations for Python 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, or 2.5. If it cannot find the library, you will need to supply a path to your Python library directory. Please see the Python chapterPythonChapter for the details of using Python scripting. -with-libintl-prefix=DIR This option may be used to tell Bacula to search DIR/include and DIR/lib for the libintl headers and libraries needed for Native Language Support (NLS). -enable-conio Tells Bacula to enable building the small, light weight readline replacement routine. It is generally much easier to configure than readline, although, like readline, it needs either the termcap or ncurses library. -with-readline=readline-path Tells Bacula where readline is installed. Normally, Bacula will find readline if it is in a standard library. If it is not found and no -with-readline is specified, readline will be disabled. This option affects the Bacula build. Readline provides the Console program with a command line history and editing capability and is no longer supported, so you are on your own if you have problems. -enable-readline Tells Bacula to enable readline support. It is normally disabled due to the large number of configuration problems and the fact that the package seems to change in incompatible ways from version to version. -with-tcp-wrappers=path This specifies that you want TCP wrappers (man hosts_access(5)) compiled in. The path is optional since Bacula will normally find the libraries in the standard locations. This option affects the Bacula build. In specifying your restrictions in the /etc/hosts.allow or /etc/hosts.deny files, do not use the twist option (hosts_options(5)) or the Bacula process will be terminated. Note, when setting up your /etc/hosts.allow or /etc/hosts.deny, you must identify the Bacula daemon in question with the name you give it in your conf file rather than the name of the executable.-with-archivedir=path The directory used for disk-based backups. Default value is /tmp. This parameter sets the default values in the bacula-dir.conf and bacula-sd.conf configuration files. For example, it sets the Where directive for the default restore job and the Archive Device directive for the FileStorage device.-with-working-dir=working-directory-path This option is mandatory and specifies a directory into which Bacula may safely place files that will remain between Bacula executions. For example, if the internal database is used, Bacula will keep those files in this directory. This option is only used to modify the daemon configuration files. You may also accomplish the same thing by directly editing them later. The working directory is not automatically created by the install process, so you must ensure that it exists before using Bacula for the first time. -with-base-port=port=number In order to run, Bacula needs three TCP/IP ports (one for the Bacula Console, one for the Storage daemon, and one for the File daemon). The -with-dump-email=email-address ![For For](/uploads/1/2/6/0/126083689/762128927.jpg)
This option specifies the email address where any core dumps should be set. This option is normally only used by developers. -with-pid-dir=PATH This specifies where Bacula should place the process id file during execution. The default is: /var/run. This directory is not created by the install process, so you must ensure that it exists before using Bacula the first time. -with-subsys-dir=PATH This specifies where Bacula should place the subsystem lock file during execution. The default is /var/run/subsys. Please make sure that you do not specify the same directory for this directory and for the sbindir directory. This directory is used only within the autostart scripts. The subsys directory is not created by the Bacula install, so you must be sure to create it before using Bacula. -with-dir-password=Password This option allows you to specify the password used to access the Director (normally from the Console program). If it is not specified, configure will automatically create a random password. -with-fd-password=Password This option allows you to specify the password used to access the File daemon (normally called from the Director). If it is not specified, configure will automatically create a random password. -with-sd-password=Password This option allows you to specify the password used to access the Storage daemon (normally called from the Director). If it is not specified, configure will automatically create a random password. -with-dir-user=User This option allows you to specify the Userid used to run the Director. The Director must be started as root, but doesn't need to run as root, and after doing preliminary initializations, it can 'drop' to the UserId specified on this option. If you specify this option, you must create the User prior to running make install, because the working directory owner will be set to User. -with-dir-group=Group This option allows you to specify the GroupId used to run the Director. The Director must be started as root, but doesn't need to run as root, and after doing preliminary initializations, it can 'drop' to the GroupId specified on this option. If you specify this option, you must create the Group prior to running make install, because the working directory group will be set to Group. -with-sd-user=User This option allows you to specify the Userid used to run the Storage daemon. The Storage daemon must be started as root, but doesn't need to run as root, and after doing preliminary initializations, it can 'drop' to the UserId specified on this option. If you use this option, you will need to take care that the Storage daemon has access to all the devices (tape drives, ...) that it needs. -with-sd-group=Group This option allows you to specify the GroupId used to run the Storage daemon. The Storage daemon must be started as root, but doesn't need to run as root, and after doing preliminary initializations, it can 'drop' to the GroupId specified on this option. -with-fd-user=User This option allows you to specify the Userid used to run the File daemon. The File daemon must be started as root, and in most cases, it needs to run as root, so this option is used only in very special cases, after doing preliminary initializations, it can 'drop' to the UserId specified on this option. -with-fd-group=Group This option allows you to specify the GroupId used to run the File daemon. The File daemon must be started as root, and in most cases, it must be run as root, however, after doing preliminary initializations, it can 'drop' to the GroupId specified on this option. -with-mon-dir-password=Password This option allows you to specify the password used to access the Directory from the monitor. If it is not specified, configure will automatically create a random password. -with-mon-fd-password=Password This option allows you to specify the password used to access the File daemon from the Monitor. If it is not specified, configure will automatically create a random password. -with-mon-sd-password=Password This option allows you to specify the password used to access the Storage daemon from the Monitor. If it is not specified, configure will automatically create a random password. -with-db-name=database-name This option allows you to specify the database name to be used in the conf files. The default is bacula. -with-db-user=database-user This option allows you to specify the database user name to be used in the conf files. The default is bacula.

- Bacula is a backup program enabling you to backup, restore, and verify data across your network. There are Bacula clients for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X - making it a cross-platform network wide solution. Bacula is made up of several components and services used to manage which files to backup and backup locations.
Bacula is a set of Open Source, computer programs that permit you (or the system administrator) to manage backup, recovery, and verification of computer data across a network of computers of different kinds. Bacula already supports: Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Windows, Mac OS X, OpenBSD, and more. Bacula is composed by several components, each one doing a different task: Bacula Director, Bacula File Daemon, Bacula Storage Daemon and Bacula Console.

- Installing Tray Monitor
In general, you will need the Bacula source release, and if you want to runa Windows client, you will need the Bacula Windows binary release.However, Bacula needs certain third party packages (such as MySQL,PostgreSQL, or SQLite to build and runproperly depending on theoptions you specify. Normally, MySQL and PostgreSQL arepackages that can be installed on your distribution. However, if you donot have them, to simplify your task, we have combined a number of thesepackages into three depkgs releases (Dependency Packages). This canvastly simplify your life by providing you with all the necessary packagesrather than requiring you to find them on the Web, load them, and installthem.
Beginning with Bacula 1.38.0, the source code has been broken into four separate tar files each corresponding to a different module in the Bacula SVN. The released files are:
This package evolves slower than the Bacula source code, so there may not always be a new release of the rescue package when making minor updates to the Bacula code. For example, when releasing Bacula version 3.0.3, the rescue package may still be at a prior version if there were no updates.
If you are upgrading from one Bacula version to another, you should firstcarefully read the ReleaseNotes of all major versions between your currentversion and the version to which you are upgrading. In many upgrades,especially for minor patch upgrades (e.g. between 3.0.0 and 3.0.1) therewill be no database upgrade, and hence the process is rather simple.
With version 3.0.0 and later, you must ensure that on any onemachine that all components of Bacula are running on exactly thesame version. Prior to version 3.0.0, it was possible to run a lower level FD with a newer Director and SD. This is no longer thecase.
As always, we attempt to support older File daemons. This avoids theneed to do a simultaneous upgrade of many machines. For exactly whatolder versions of the FD are supported, please see the ReleaseNotes for the new version. In any case, you must always upgrade both theDirector and the Storage daemon at the same time, and you must alsoupgrade any File daemon that is running on the same machine as a Directoror a Storage daemon (see the prior paragraph).
If the Bacula catalogdatabase has been upgraded (as it is almost every major release), you willeither need to reinitialize your database starting from scratch (notnormally a good idea), or save an ASCII copy of your database, then proceedto upgrade it. If you are upgrading two major versions (e.g. 1.36 to 2.0)then life will be more complicated because you must do two databaseupgrades. See below for more on this.
Upgrading the catalog is normally done after Bacula is build and installedby:
This update script can also be find in the Bacula source src/catsdirectory.
If there are several database upgrades between your version and theversion to which you are upgrading, you will need to apply each databaseupgrade script. For your convenience, you can find all the old upgrade scriptsin the upgradedb directory of the source code. You will need to edit thescripts to correspond to your system configuration. The final upgrade script,if any, can be applied as noted above.
If you are upgrading from one major version to another, you will need toreplace all your components at the same time as generally the inter-daemonprotocol will change. However, within any particular release (e.g. version1.32.x) unless there is an oversight or bug, the daemon protocol will notchange. If this is confusing, simply read the ReleaseNotes very carefully asthey will note if all daemons must be upgraded at the same time.
Finally, please note that in general it is not necessary or desirableto do a make uninstall before doing an upgrade providing you are carefulnot to change the installation directories. In fact, if you do so, you will most likely delete all your conf files, which could be disastrous.The normal procedure during an upgrade is simply:
In general none of your existing .conf or .sql files will be overwritten,and you must do both the make and make install commands, amake install without the preceding make will not work.
For additional information on upgrading, please see the Upgrading BaculaVersionsupgrading in the Tips chapter of this manual.
Every Bacula release whether beta or production has a different number as well as the date of the release build. The numbering system followstraditional Open Source conventions in that it is of the form.
For example:
where each component (major, minor, patch) is a number.The major number is currently 1 and normally does not changevery frequently. The minor number starts at 0 and increaseseach for each production release by 2 (i.e. it is always aneven number for a production release), and the patch number isstarts at zero each time the minor number changes. The patchnumber is increased each time a bug fix (or fixes) is releasedto production.
So, as of this date (10 September 2006), the current production Bacularelease is version 1.38.11. If there are bug fixes, the next releasewill be 1.38.12 (i.e. the patch number has increased by one).
For all patch releases where the minor version number does not change,the database and all the daemons will be compatible. That means thatyou can safely run a 1.38.0 Director with a 1.38.11 Client. Of course,in this case, the Director may have bugs that are not fixed. Generally,within a minor release (some minor releases are not so minor), allpatch numbers are officially released to production. This means that whilethe current Bacula version is 1.38.11, versions 1.38.0, 1.38.1, ... 1.38.10have all been previously released.
When the minor number is odd, it indicates that the package is under development and thus may not be stable. For example, while the current production release of Bacula is currently 1.38.11, the current developmentversion is 1.39.22. All patch versions of the development code are available in the SVN (source repository). However, not all patch versionsof the development code (odd minor version) are officially released. Whenthey are released, they are released as beta versions (see below for adefinition of what beta means for Bacula releases).
In general when the minor number increases from one production releaseto the next (i.e. 1.38.x to 1.40.0), the catalog database must be upgraded,the Director and Storage daemon must always be on the same minor releasenumber, and often (not always), the Clients must also be on the same minorrelease. As often as possible, we attempt to make new releases that aredownwards compatible with prior clients, but this is not always possible.You must check the release notes. In general, you will have fewer problemsif you always run all the components on the same minor version number (i.e.all either 1.38.x or 1.40.x but not mixed).
Towards the end of the development cycle, which typically runsone year from a major release to another, there will be several betareleases of the development code prior to a production release. As noted above, beta versions always have odd minor version numbers(e.g 1.37.x or 1.39.x). The purpose of the beta releases is to allow early adopter users to testthe new code. Beta releases are made with the following considerations:
- The code passes the regression testing on FreeBSD, Linux, and Solaris machines.
- There are no known major bugs, or on the rare occasion that there are, they will be documented or already in the bugs database.
- Some of the new code/features may not yet be tested.
- Bugs are expected to be found, especially in the new code before the final production release.
- The code will have been run in production in at least one small site (mine).
- The Win32 client will have been run in production at least one night at that small site.
- The documentation in the manual is unlikely to be complete especially for the new features, and the Release Notes may not be fully organized.
- Beta code is not generally recommended for everyone, but rather for early adopters.
As discussed above, we have combined a number of third party packages thatBacula might need into the depkgs release. You can,of course, get the latest packages from the original authors or from your operating system supplier. The locations ofwhere we obtained the packages are in the README file in each package.However, be aware that the packages in the depkgs files have been tested by usfor compatibility with Bacula.
Typically, a dependency package will be named depkgs-ddMMMyy.tar.gzwhere dd is the day we release it, MMMis the abbreviated month (e.g. Jan), and yy is the year. An actualexample is: depkgs-24Jul09.tar.gz. To install and build this package (ifneeded), you do the following:
- Create a bacula directory, into which you will place both the Bacula source as well as the dependency package.
- Detar the depkgs into the bacula directory.
- cd bacula/depkgs
- make
Although the exact composition of the dependency packages may change from timeto time, the current makeup is the following:
3rd Party Package | depkgs | depkgs-qt |
SQLite3 | X | |
mtx | X | |
qt4 | X |
Note, some of these packages are quite large, so that building them can be abit time consuming. The above instructions will build all the packagescontained in the directory. However, when building Bacula, it will take onlythose pieces that it actually needs.
Alternatively, you can make just the packages that are needed. For example,
will configure and build only the SQLite package.
![Client Client](/uploads/1/2/6/0/126083689/526182417.jpg)
You should build the packages that you will require in depkgs a prior to configuring and building Bacula, since Bacula will needthem during the build process.
For more information on the depkgs-qt package, please read theINSTALL file in the main directory of that package. If you are going to build Qt4 using depkgs-qt, you must source the qt4-paths fileincluded in the package prior to building Bacula. Please read the INSTALLfile for more details.
Even if you do not use SQLite, you might find it worthwhile to build mtxbecause the tapeinfo program that comes with it can often provide youwith valuable information about your SCSI tape drive (e.g. compression,min/max block sizes, ...). Note, most distros provide mtx as part of their release.
The depkgs1 package is depreciated and previously containedreadline, which should be available on all operating systems.
The depkgs-win32 package is deprecated and no longer used in Bacula version 1.39.x and later. It was previously used to buildthe native Win32 client program, but this program is now built on Linuxsystems using cross-compiling. All the tools and third party librariesare automatically downloaded by executing the appropriate scripts. Seesrc/win32/README.mingw32 for more details.
Please see the Supported Operating SystemsSupportedOSes sectionof the QuickStart chapter of this manual.
The basic installation is rather simple.
- Install and build any depkgs as noted above. This should be unnecessary on most modern Operating Systems.
- Configure and install MySQL or PostgreSQL (if desired). Installing and Configuring MySQL Phase IMySqlChapter or Installing and Configuring PostgreSQL Phase IPostgreSqlChapter. If you are installing from rpms, and are using MySQL, please be sure to install mysql-devel, so that the MySQL header files are available while compiling Bacula. In addition, the MySQL client library mysqlclient requires the gzip compression library libz.a or libz.so. If you are using rpm packages, these libraries are in the libz-devel package. On Debian systems, you will need to load the zlib1g-dev package. If you are not using rpms or debs, you will need to find the appropriate package for your system. Note, if you already have a running MySQL or PostgreSQL on your system, you can skip this phase provided that you have built the thread safe libraries. And you have already installed the additional rpms noted above.SQLite is not supported on Solaris. This is because it frequently fails with bus errors. However SQLite3 may work.
- Detar the Bacula source code preferably into the bacula directory discussed above.
- cd to the directory containing the source code.
- ./configure (with appropriate options as described below). Any path names you specify as options on the ./configure command line must be absolute paths and not relative.
- Check the output of ./configure very carefully, especially the Install binaries and Install config directories. If they are not correct, please rerun ./configure until they are. The output from ./configure is stored in config.out and can be re-displayed at any time without rerunning the ./configure by doing cat config.out.
- If after running ./configure once, you decide to change options and re-run it, that is perfectly fine, but before re-running it, you should run: so that you are sure to start from scratch and not have a mixture of the twooptions. This is because ./configure caches much of the information. The make distclean is also critical if you move the source directory from one machine to another. If the make distclean fails, just ignore it andcontinue on.
- make If you get errors while linking in the Storage daemon directory (src/stored), it is probably because you have not loaded the static libraries on your system. I noticed this problem on a Solaris system. To correct it, make sure that you have not added - -enable-static-tools to the ./configure command.If you skip this step (make) and proceed immediately to the make install you are making two serious errors: 1. your install will fail because Bacula requires a make before a make install. 2. you are depriving yourself of the chance to make sure there are no errors before beginning to write files to your system directories.
- make install Please be sure you have done a make before entering this command, and that everything has properly compiled and linked without errors.
- If you are new to Bacula, we strongly recommend that you skip the next step and use the default configuration files, then run the example program in the next chapter, then come back and modify your configuration files to suit your particular needs.
- Customize the configuration files for each of the three daemons (Directory, File, Storage) and for the Console program. For the details of how to do this, please see Setting Up Bacula Configuration FilesConfigureChapter in the Configuration chapter of this manual. We recommend that you start by modifying the default configuration files supplied, making the minimum changes necessary. Complete customization can be done after you have Bacula up and running. Please take care when modifying passwords, which were randomly generated, and the Names as the passwords and names must agree between the configuration files for security reasons.
- Create the Bacula MySQL database and tables (if using MySQL) Installing and Configuring MySQL Phase IImysql_phase2 or create the Bacula PostgreSQL database and tables Configuring PostgreSQL IIPostgreSQL_configure or alternatively if you are using SQLite Installing and Configuring SQLite Phase IIphase2.
- Start Bacula (./bacula start) Note. the next chapter shows you how to do this in detail.
- Interface with Bacula using the Console program
- For the previous two items, please follow the instructions in the Running BaculaTutorialChapter chapter of this manual, where you will run a simple backup and do a restore. Do this before you make heavy modifications to the configuration files so that you are sure that Bacula works and are familiar with it. After that changing the conf files will be easier.
- If after installing Bacula, you decide to 'move it', that is to install it in a different set of directories, proceed as follows:
If all goes well, the ./configure will correctly determine whichoperating system you are running and configure the source code appropriately.Currently, FreeBSD, Linux (Red Hat), and Solaris are supported. The Baculaclient (File daemon) is reported to work with MacOS X 10.3 is if readline support is not enabled (default) when building the client.
If you install Bacula on more than one system, and they are identical, you cansimply transfer the source tree to that other system and do a 'makeinstall'. However, if there are differences in the libraries or OS versions,or you wish to install on a different OS, you should start from the originalcompress tar file. If you do transfer the source tree, and you have previouslydone a ./configure command, you MUST do:
prior to doing your new ./configure. This is because the GNU autoconf toolscache the configuration, and if you re-use a configuration for a Linux machineon a Solaris, you can be sure your build will fail. To avoid this, asmentioned above, either start from the tar file, or do a 'make distclean'.
In general, you will probably want to supply a more complicated configure statement to ensure that the modules you want are built and thateverything is placed into the correct directories.
For example, on Fedora, Red Hat, or SuSE one could use the following:
The advantage of using the above configuration to start is thateverything will be put into a single directory, which you can later deleteonce you have run the examples in the next chapter and learned how Baculaworks. In addition, the above can be installed and run as non-root.
For the developer's convenience, I have added a defaultconfig script tothe examples directory. This script contains the statements that youwould normally use, and each developer/user may modify them to suit his needs.You should find additional useful examples in this directory as well.
The
--
enable-conio or --
enable-readline options areuseful because they provide a command line history, editing capability for theConsole program and tab completion on various option. If you have includedeither option in the build, either the termcap or the ncursespackage will be needed to link. On most systems, including Red Hat and SuSE,you should include the ncurses package. If Bacula's configure process findsthe ncurses libraries, it will use those rather than the termcap library. Onsome systems, such as SuSE, the termcap library is not in the standard librarydirectory. As a consequence, the option may be disabled or you may get anerror message such as:while building the Bacula Console. In that case, you will need to set the LDFLAGS environment variable prior to building.
The same library requirements apply if you wish to use the readline subroutinesfor command line editing, history and tab completion or if you are using aMySQL library that requires encryption. If you need encryption, you can eitherexport the appropriate additional library options as shown above or,alternatively, you can include them directly on the ./configure line as in:
On some systems such as Mandriva, readline tends togobble up prompts, which makes it totally useless. If this happens to you, usethe disable option, or if you are using version 1.33 and above try using
--
enable-conio to use a built-in readline replacement. You will still needeither the termcap or the ncurses library, but it is unlikely that the coniopackage will gobble up prompts. readline is no longer supported after version 1.34. The code within Bacularemains, so it should be usable, and if users submit patches for it, we willbe happy to apply them. However, due to the fact that each version ofreadline seems to be incompatible with previous versions, and that thereare significant differences between systems, we can no longer afford tosupport it.
Before building Bacula you need to decide if you want to use SQLite, MySQL, orPostgreSQL. If you are not already running MySQL or PostgreSQL, you mightwant to start by testing with SQLite (not supported on Solaris).This will greatly simplify the setup for youbecause SQLite is compiled into Bacula an requires no administration. Itperforms well and is suitable for small to medium sized installations (maximum10-20 machines). However, we should note that a number of users havehad unexplained database corruption with SQLite. For that reason, werecommend that you install either MySQL or PostgreSQL for productionwork.
If you wish to use MySQL as the Bacula catalog, please see the Installing and Configuring MySQLMySqlChapter chapter ofthis manual. You will need to install MySQL prior to continuing with theconfiguration of Bacula. MySQL is a high quality database that is veryefficient and is suitable for any sized installation. It is slightly morecomplicated than SQLite to setup and administer because it has a number ofsophisticated features such as userids and passwords. It runs as a separateprocess, is truly professional and can manage a database of any size.
If you wish to use PostgreSQL as the Bacula catalog, please see the Installing and Configuring PostgreSQLPostgreSqlChapterchapter of this manual. You will need to install PostgreSQL prior tocontinuing with the configuration of Bacula. PostgreSQL is very similar toMySQL, though it tends to be slightly more SQL92 compliant and has many moreadvanced features such as transactions, stored procedures, and the such. Itrequires a certain knowledge to install and maintain.
If you wish to use SQLite as the Bacula catalog, please see Installing and Configuring SQLiteSqlLiteChapter chapter ofthis manual. SQLite is not supported on Solaris.
There are a number of options and important considerations given belowthat you can skip for the moment if you have not had any problems buildingBacula with a simplified configuration as shown above.
If the ./configure process is unable to find specific libraries (e.g. libintl, you should ensure that the appropriate package is installed onyour system. Alternatively, if the package is installed in a non-standardlocation (as far as Bacula is concerned), then there is generally anoption listed below (or listed with './configure - -help' that willpermit you to specify the directory that should be searched. In othercases, there are options that will permit you to disable to feature (e.g. - -disable-nls).
If you want to dive right into it, we recommend you skip to the next chapter,and run the example program. It will teach you a lot about Bacula and as anexample can be installed into a single directory (for easy removal) and run asnon-root. If you have any problems or when you want to do a real installation,come back to this chapter and read the details presented below.
The following command line options are available for configure tocustomize your installation.
By default, Bacula will install the Unix man pages in /usr/share/man/man1 and /usr/share/man/man8. If you wish the man page to be installed in a different location, use this option to specify the path. Note, the main HTML and PDF Bacula documents are in a separate tar file that is not part of the source distribution.
Qt4 is available on OpenSUSE 10.2, CentOS 5, Fedora, and Debian. If it is not available on your system, you can download the depkgs-qt package from the Bacula Source Forge download area and build it. See the INSTALL file in that package for more details. In particular to use the Qt4 built by depkgs-qt you must source the file qt4-paths.
SQLite2 is not thread safe. Batch insert cannot be enabled when using SQLite2
On most systems, MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite3 are thread safe.
To verify that your PostgreSQL is thread safe, you can try this (change the path to point to your particular installed libpq.a; these commands were issued on FreeBSD 6.2):
The above example shows a libpq that contains the required function PQputCopyData and is thread enabled (i.e. the pthread_mutex* entries). If you do not see PQputCopyData, your version of PostgreSQL is too old to allow batch insert. If you do not see the mutex entries, then thread support has not been enabled. Our tests indicate you usually need to change the configuration options and recompile/reinstall the PostgreSQL client software to get thread support.
Bacula always links to the thread safe MySQL libraries.
Running with Batch Insert turned on is recommended because it can significantly improve attribute insertion times. However, it does put a significantly larger part of the work on your SQL engine, so you may need to pay more attention to tuning it. In particular, Batch Insert can require large temporary table space, and consequently, the default location (often /tmp) may run out of space causing errors. For MySQL, the location is set in my.conf with 'tmpdir'. You may also want to increase the memory available to your SQL engine to further improve performance during Batch Inserts.

disable-static-tools.--
enable-client-only option described below is useful for just building a client so that all the other parts of the program are not compiled. When linking a static binary, the linker needs the static versions of all the libraries that are used, so frequently users will experience linking errors when this option is used. The first thing to do is to make sure you have the static glibc library installed on your system. The second thing to do is the make sure you do not specify -openssl or -with-python on your ./configure statement as these options require additional libraries. You may be able to enable those options, but you will need to load additional static libraries.

disable-largefile. See the note below under the -with-postgresql item.
Note, for Bacula to be configured properly, you must specify one of the four database options supported. That is: -with-sqlite, -with-sqlite3, -with-mysql, or -with-postgresql, otherwise the ./configure will fail.
For more information on configuring and testing TCP wrappers, please see the Configuring and Testing TCP Wrapperswrappers section in the Security Chapter.
On SuSE, the libwrappers libraries needed to link Bacula are contained in the tcpd-devel package. On Red Hat, the package is named tcp_wrappers.
This option is designed primarily for use in regression testing. Most users can safely ignore this option.
Bacula Client For Mac Os X 10 12
--
with-baseport option will automatically assign three ports beginning at the base port address specified. You may also change the port number in the resulting configuration files. However, you need to take care that the numbers correspond correctly in each of the three daemon configuration files. The default base port is 9101, which assigns ports 9101 through 9103. These ports (9101, 9102, and 9103) have been officially assigned to Bacula by IANA. This option is only used to modify the daemon configuration files. You may also accomplish the same thing by directly editing them later. ![For For](/uploads/1/2/6/0/126083689/762128927.jpg)
Note, many other options are presented when you do a ./configure
--
help, but they are not implemented.For most systems, we recommend starting with the following options:
If you want to install Bacula in an installation directory rather than run itout of the build directory (as developers will do most of the time), youshould also include the
--
sbindir and --
sysconfdir options with appropriatepaths. Neither are necessary if you do not use 'make install' as is the casefor most development work. The install process will create the sbindir andsysconfdir if they do not exist, but it will not automatically create thepid-dir, subsys-dir, or working-dir, so you must ensure that they exist beforerunning Bacula for the first time.Using SQLite:
or
or finally, a completely traditional Red Hat Linux install:
Note, Bacula assumes that /var/bacula, /var/run, and /var/lock/subsys exist soit will not automatically create them during the install process.
To build Bacula from source, you will need the following installed on yoursystem (they are not by default): libiconv, gcc 3.3.2, stdc++, libgcc (forstdc++ and gcc_s libraries), make 3.8 or later.
You will probably also need to: Add /usr/local/bin to PATH and Add/usr/ccs/bin to PATH for ar.
It is possible to build Bacula on Solaris with the Solaris compiler, butwe recommend using GNU C++ if possible.
A typical configuration command might look like:
As mentioned above, the install process will create the sbindir and sysconfdirif they do not exist, but it will not automatically create the pid-dir,subsys-dir, or working-dir, so you must ensure that they exist before runningBacula for the first time.
Note, you may need to install the following packages to build Baculafrom source:
If you have installed special software not normally in the Solarislibraries, such as OpenSSL, or the packages shown above, then you may needto add /usr/sfw/lib to the library search path. Probably thesimplest way to do so is to run:
Prior to running the ./configure command.
Alternatively, you can set the LD_LIBARY_PATH and/or the LD_RUN_PATHenvironment variables appropriately.
It is also possible to use the crle program to set the librarysearch path. However, this should be used with caution.
Please see: The FreeBSD Diaryhttp://www.freebsddiary.org/bacula.php for adetailed description on how to make Bacula work on your system. In addition,users of FreeBSD prior to 4.9-STABLE dated Mon Dec 29 15:18:01 2003 UTC whoplan to use tape devices, please see the Tape Testing ChapterFreeBSDTapes of this manual forimportant information on how to configure your tape drive forcompatibility with Bacula.
If you are using Bacula with MySQL, you should take care to compile MySQL withFreeBSD native threads rather than LinuxThreads, since Bacula is normally builtwith FreeBSD native threads rather than LinuxTreads. Mixing the two willprobably not work.
To install the binary Win32 version of the File daemon please see the Win32 Installation ChapterWin32Chapter in this document.
The following script could be used if you want to put everythingin a single file:
You may also want to put the following entries in your /etc/servicesfile as it will make viewing the connections made by Bacula easier torecognize (i.e. netstat -a):
Before setting up your configuration files, you will want to install Bacula inits final location. Simply enter:
If you have previously installed Bacula, the old binaries will be overwritten,but the old configuration files will remain unchanged, and the 'new'configuration files will be appended with a .new. Generally if you havepreviously installed and run Bacula you will want to discard or ignore theconfiguration files with the appended .new.
If you run the Director and the Storage daemon on one machine and you wish toback up another machine, you must have a copy of the File daemon for thatmachine. If the machine and the Operating System are identical, you can simplycopy the Bacula File daemon binary file bacula-fd as well as itsconfiguration file bacula-fd.conf then modify the name and password inthe conf file to be unique. Be sure to make corresponding additions to theDirector's configuration file (bacula-dir.conf).
If the architecture or the OS level are different, you will need to build aFile daemon on the Client machine. To do so, you can use the same ./configure command as you did for your main program, starting either from afresh copy of the source tree, or using make distclean before the ./configure.
Since the File daemon does not access the Catalog database, you can removethe
--
with-mysql or --
with-sqlite options, thenadd --
enable-client-only. This will compile only thenecessary libraries and the client programs and thus avoids the necessityof installing one or another of those database programs to build the Filedaemon. With the above option, you simply enter make and just theclient will be built.If you wish the daemons to be automatically started and stopped when yoursystem is booted (a good idea), one more step is necessary. First, the./configure process must recognize your system - that is it must be asupported platform and not unknown, then you must install the platformdependent files by doing:
Please note, that the auto-start feature is implemented only on systemsthat we officially support (currently, FreeBSD, Red Hat/Fedora Linux, andSolaris), and has only been fully tested on Fedora Linux.
The make install-autostart will cause the appropriate startup scriptsto be installed with the necessary symbolic links. On Red Hat/Fedora Linuxsystems, these scripts reside in /etc/rc.d/init.d/bacula-dir/etc/rc.d/init.d/bacula-fd, and /etc/rc.d/init.d/bacula-sd. Howeverthe exact location depends on what operating system you are using.
If you only wish to install the File daemon, you may do so with:
To simply build a new executable in any directory, enter:
To clean out all the objects and binaries (including the files named 1, 2, or3, which are development temporary files), enter:
To really clean out everything for distribution, enter:
note, this cleans out the Makefiles and is normally done from the top leveldirectory to prepare for distribution of the source. To recover from thisstate, you must redo the ./configure in the top level directory, sinceall the Makefiles will be deleted.
To add a new file in a subdirectory, edit the Makefile.in in that directory,then simply do a make. In most cases, the make will rebuild the Makefilefrom the new Makefile.in. In some case, you may need to issue the make asecond time. In extreme cases, cd to the top level directory and enter: make Makefiles.
To add dependencies:
The make depend appends the header file dependencies for each of theobject files to Makefile and Makefile.in. This command should be done in eachdirectory where you change the dependencies. Normally, it only needs to be runwhen you add or delete source or header files. make depend is normallyautomatically invoked during the configuration process.
To install:
This not normally done if you are developing Bacula, but is used if you aregoing to run it to backup your system.
After doing a make install the following files will be installed on yoursystem (more or less). The exact files and location (directory) for each filedepends on your ./configure command (e.g. if you are using SQLite insteadof MySQL, some of the files will be different).
Bacula Client For Mac Os X
NOTE: it is quite probable that this list is out of date. But it is astarting point.
The Tray Monitor is already installed if you used the
--
enable-tray-monitor configure option and ran make install.As you don't run your graphical environment as root (if you do, you shouldchange that bad habit), don't forget to allow your user to read tray-monitor.conf, and to execute bacula-tray-monitor (this is not asecurity issue).
Then log into your graphical environment (KDE, GNOME or something else), runbacula-tray-monitor as your user, and see if a cassette icon appearssomewhere on the screen, usually on the task bar.If it doesn't, follow the instructions below related to your environment orwindow manager.
GNOME
System tray, or notification area if you use the GNOME terminology, has beensupported in GNOME since version 2.2. To activate it, right-click on one ofyour panels, open the menu Add to this Panel, then Utility andfinally click on Notification Area.
