Bacula : Add remote Clients2023/08/09 |
It's possible to add remote Hosts as backup target Clients.
This example is based on the environment like follows. +----------------------+ | +----------------------+ | [ Bacula Server ] |10.0.0.30 | 10.0.0.51| [ Bacula Client ] | | Bacula Director +----------+----------+ (Backup Target) | | Bacula Storage | | Bacula File Daemon | | Bacula File Daemon | | | | PostgreSQL | | | +----------------------+ +----------------------+ |

[2] | Install File component on new remote Bacula client Host. |
root@node01:~# apt -y install bacula-fd bacula-client bacula-console
|
[3] | Configure Bacula Server. |
root@dlp:~#
vi /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf # add to the end # define job JobDefs { Name = "Job-node01" Type = Backup Level = Incremental # specify [Name] value of [Client] section Client = node01 # specify [Name] value of [FileSet] section FileSet = "Node01 Set" Schedule = "WeeklyCycle" Storage = File1 Messages = Standard Pool = File SpoolAttributes = yes Priority = 10 Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/%c.bsr" } # define backup job Job { Name = "node01-BackupClient" # specify [Name] value of [Client] section Client = node01 # specify [Name] value of [JobDefs] section JobDefs = "Job-node01" } # define File Set FileSet { Name = "Node01 Set" Include { Options { signature = MD5 } # backup target directory File = /etc } } # define client Client { Name = node01 # client hostname or IP address Address = node01.srv.world FDPort = 9102 Catalog = MyCatalog # password for File daemon Password = "password" File Retention = 60 days Job Retention = 6 months AutoPrune = yes } systemctl restart bacula-dir |
[4] | Configure Bacula Client. |
root@node01:~#
vi /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf Director { # line 18 : change to Director name # line 19 : password for File daemon Name = dlp.srv.world-dir Password = "password" } ..... ..... Director { # line 27 : change to Director name # line 28 : password for File daemon Name = dlp.srv.world-mon Password = "password" Monitor = yes } FileDaemon { # this is me Name = node01.srv.world-fd FDport = 9102 # where we listen for the director WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/bacula Pid Directory = /run/bacula Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 Plugin Directory = /usr/lib/bacula # line 42 : listening address FDAddress = 0.0.0.0 Messages { Name = Standard # line 48 : change to Director name director = dlp.srv.world-dir = all, !skipped, !restored }
root@node01:~#
vi /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf Director { # Director name Name = dlp.srv.world-dir DIRport = 9101 # hostname or IP address of Director daemon address = dlp.srv.world # password which is set in Director Password = "password" }root@node01:~# systemctl restart bacula-fd |
[5] | That's OK. It's possible to run backup and restore operation on both Server or Client. For example, run backup and restore on Client Host. |
