Bareos (Manage backup, recovery) - Client and server
|
|
|
|
Bareos is a set of computer programs that permit you (or the system admin) to
|
|
manage backup, recovery, and verification of computer data across a network
|
|
of computers of different kinds. In technical terms, it is a network
|
|
Client/Server based backup program. Bareos is relatively easy to use and
|
|
efficient, while offering many advanced storage management features that make
|
|
it easy to find and recover lost or damaged files. Due to its modular design,
|
|
Bareos is scalable from small single computer systems to systems consisting
|
|
of hundreds of computers located over a large network.
|
|
|
|
This script comes with a few options that can be set at build time, one of
|
|
which is DATABASE. Supported databases include postgresql, mysql and sqlite3.
|
|
By default mysql is selected, to disable or select another database, run:
|
|
|
|
DATABASE="" ./bareos.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
Some say that having everything under /opt/bareos can be more backup friendly
|
|
for disaster recovery situations, and since the official documentation also
|
|
mentions this prefix in quite a few places, running the script with:
|
|
|
|
OPT_PREFIX=yes ./bareos.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
will put (almost) everything into /opt/bareos directory.
|
|
|
|
Another option worth mentioning is Bat, which by default comes disabled, and
|
|
if enabled with BAT=yes variable, creates a package with desktop entries.
|
|
Additionally, smtp delivery agent is assumed running on localhost, and job
|
|
announcements and core dumps are sent to root@localhost email address. Both
|
|
can be changed with EMAIL and SMTPHOST variables.
|
|
|
|
For more information on upgrading from previous version and from Bacula
|
|
see README.SLACKWARE that came with this package (which is also installed
|
|
with the documentation).
