Hi,
As I am new user for Bacula, I am not much aware about it. I am trying
to setup bacula on windows platform (win 32) but I don't know how to
setup bacula configuration files. Basically, I have got 1 server
(window 2003) and 10 pc and all PCs are in network and now I want to
backup all the PC on particular time or day. To store the data I have
got LTO 4 with Cartridges and I have setup it and its working fine.
Now I want to setup bacula on server so I can do backup. I have tried
to install it from Bacula website but its showing bacula client files
only. I installed it but it did not work and continuously it was
showing connecting to director but where is director? so I think I
need bacula server package as well !! I would be thankful to you if
you can give me the answers of following questions and help me to
setup bacula.
1. Do I need two separate package(Source file) to setup bacula on
windows
2. Could you please tell me where can I download source file for
it. (there is just bacula client source from bacula website)
3. Could you please tell me how to setup bacula?
Any help would be appreciated. Looking forward to positive response
from your side as soon as possible.
Regards,
Laxansh K Adesara

Bacula consists of 3 different parts. A client (for the servers/pc's you
want to backup), a storage daemon (to control the storage device) and a
director (the controlling daemon).

Only the client is officially supported and released for windows. The
director and storage daemon are not, so it'll be difficult to get those
to run without a linux/solaris/... server. (as shown here
<http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/main/main/Supported_Operating_Systems.html>)
It has been done by some people, but it's not an easy and usually buggy
thing to do.

Kind regards,
Jeremy

I agree. Its much better / easier to run the director, database and
storage on a linux, bsd or Solaris machine. And this is the only
supported configuration.

One exception to that: the database server could run on anything. It's
a client-server relationship. I see no technical issue with running the
database (i.e. Catalog) on a remote system, which could be anything....

For 6+ years with bacula at work we run database, director and main
storage 3 different machines so I know the database does work fine
remotely.

Hi,
As I am new user for Bacula, I am not much aware about it. I am trying
to setup bacula on windows platform (win 32) but I don?t know how to
setup bacula configuration files.

Hello,

You should definitely start by reading the manual.
http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/index.html

It will explain the basic concepts, agents (Directory, Storage Daemon,
File Daemon) and also gives details on the Windows version of Bacula:

- -
http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/What_is_Bacula.html#SECTION00220000000000000000
- -
http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Windows_Version_Bacula.html

Without this basic knowledge, you will unfortunately have a hard time
installing, configuring and operating Bacula.

Hi,

Firstly, I would like to say thank you so much for your response.

So If I install bacula server on ubuntu (As I have got Ubuntu machine at
my workplace) and client on windows machine and if I follow steps from
the following website

http://www.devtoolshed.com/content/how-back-windows-bacula

will it work?

And one more thing Do I need to install my LTO Tape drive on Ubuntu or
remotely I can access it to store data as I have already installed on
window sever 2003 machine?

Regards,

Laxansh K Adesara

You will want that tape drive on the same system as your bacula-sd,
which in your case is Ubuntu. Start with bacula-dir, bacula-sd, and the
database all on one server. You will also want bacula-fd on that server
so you can backup that server.

Hi,

I have installed bacula director on ubuntu by simply following this command sudo apt-get install bacula and it installed on my ubuntu server and then I installed bacula-client on window machine and when it asked me about director information I just filled out ubuntu info.

(
Dir name : ubuntu-dir
Dir address : IP address of ubuntu machine
Dir Password: ????? what am I supposed to enter here? Because by default it's encrypted password on my ubuntu machine bacula-dir.conf (bacula-director) file.
)

Then I tried to start bacula concole from window machine but I could not see director and it was not showing any error as well so I just went to event viewer and came to know about following error

Bacula ERROR: , /home/kern/bacula/k/bacula/src/lib/bsock.c:135 Unable to connect to Director daemon on 192.168.10.68:9101. ERR=The operation completed successfully.

If anything I did wrong then please let me know the exact procedures

I am trying to follow these procedures http://www.devtoolshed.com/content/how-back-windows-bacula but before that I need to sort out bacula-dir problem..

Laxansh

In addition, I did not set any password then how come it assigned password to bacula director. Is there any default password for it?
How can I configure it with window client? And how can I make sure that both are connected?

No there is not a default.

You need to make the passwords match from the server to client by
specifying the director password in the client's configuration file
(bacula-fd.conf) in the Director resource. This must match what the
Director has as a password in the Client Resource of the
bacula-dir.conf file on the server.

I don't think that the director password in bacula-dir.conf is encrypted.
You can probably copy and paste it into the bacula-fd.conf on the client
(at least, this is what I have always been able to do on my setup).

At a guess, whether there is a default for the password probably depends upon
your distribution. But since you know where it is now, you might as well
change it if you don't like it.

Also, remember to restart your daemons when you make configuration changes.
If you are using a Windows client, you need to find the Services screen.

Also for ubuntu make sure that none of the ip addresses in the
configuration files are 127.0.0.1 or localhost. Instead use the
external ip address. Debian derivatives tend to set bacula up this way
by default but that prevents bacula from being used as a network
backup since the only machine that can connect is the server itself..

As Graham says, the password isn't encrypted. It is randomly generated
when you install, so it might look like your typical hashed/encrypted
password. This password is what is used to authenticate communication
between the console and the director. There are other passwords like it
for communication between DIR-FD or DIR-SD.

You can change the passwords to whatever you like, as long as you change
them in both the director configuration and the relevant console, file
daemon or storage daemon configuration.

So for your windows console to be able to connect you'll have to make
sure that the password setting in bconsole.conf on the windows machine
is the same as the director password in bacula-dir.conf on your ubuntu
machine.

Just a thought, the name of director on the client needs to be right.
And the name of the client on the server needs to be right. Just check it.

Now I tried to connect dir from window client so after some time
bacula-director dies.. and status showing bacula-dir is not running. Why
did status changed automatically? Is bacula-client is crashing
bacula-director?
Due to this error I am getting following error.

It's showing
Bacula-dir is running...

Did you setup, create and configure the bacula database.

I would stop bacula then open a terminal and execute the following
command and see what messages it prints:

bacula-dir -d 100 -c /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf

As Graham says, the password isn't encrypted. It is randomly generated

when you install, so it might look like your typical hashed/encrypted

password. This password is what is used to authenticate communication

between the console and the director. There are other passwords like it

for communication between DIR-FD or DIR-SD.

You can change the passwords to whatever you like, as long as you change

them in both the director configuration and the relevant console, file

daemon or storage daemon configuration.

So for your windows console to be able to connect you'll have to make

sure that the password setting in bconsole.conf on the windows machine

is the same as the director password in bacula-dir.conf on your ubuntu

machine.

Hi,

I think you are right John, when I checked my log file it is showing

Error termination:
Please correct configuration file: /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf
Fatar error: could not open catalog "MyCatalog"
Fatar error: mysql.c : unable to connect to database=bacula user=bacula
MySQL connect failed either server not running or your authorization is
incorrect

SO I think I need to configure mysql as well with bacula-dir as you
said.
Correct? And where are the steps to configure it ?

Regards,
Laxansh

Hi,
First I checked the status of bacula-dir by entering sudo
/etc/init.d/bacula-director status.
It's showing
Bacula-dir is running...

See the manual here:

http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Installing_Configuring_MySQ.html#SECTION004220000000000000000

The bacula catalog scripts are in /usr/libexec/bacula for me in gentoo
but could be in a different on your distro.

Hi,

I have checked it. Both are same but now it seems like database issue as
in the log file its showing database error. But I have already installed
mysql database and in the bacula-dir configuration file by default it
was showing my database details e.g. database name, username n password.
But still error is saying configure your database. So what do I need to
do to configure mysql database with bacula-director?

Laxansh

You should not be having these many problems. Did you configure mysql
during bacula compile? Or if you did it via apt-get, did you specify
mysql? These is extensive documentation on configuring the database?

You need to create the database "bacula" and user "bacula" in the MySQL
console.

mysql -u root

SQL> create database bacula ;
SQL> grant all on bacula.* to ***@localhost identified by 'password';

Then you need to create the database content for bacula. You need the
make_bacula_tables.sql script for that. It is shipped with Bacula source
distribution and is in the /etc/bacula/scripts folder if I'm not mistaken.

SQL> use bacula;
SQL> source /etc/bacula/scripts/make_bacula_tables.sql;

I'll refer you to the manual part about installing and configuring mysql
for bacula:
http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/catalog/catalog/Installing_Configurin_MySQL.html

You will probably need the information in the Phase II part of the info
there. You will need to run 3 scripts that will create the bacula
database, grant the bacula user the correct permissions and then create
the necessary tables in that database for bacula to run.

Kind regards,
Jeremy

Hi,

I created database as you said but I could not find
make_bacula_tables.sql into particular folder. There was scripts folder
but not this file. So Do I need to create separately? If yes, what am I
suppose to write? Now I am sure it's database problem. Because still
bacula-director goes offline Continuously.
