Overview of components can be found here: https://www.bacula.org/9.4.x-manuals/en/main/What_is_Bacula.html#SECTION00220000000000000000
The backup.osgeo.org machine is acting as the `Bacula Director`
Configuration
As of November 2023 Bacula director configuration is under ansible. For full details, see https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/sac/ansible-deployment/src/branch/master/deployment/roles/bacula-director (private repo)
Administration
General configuration is managed in /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf.
To review the backups and perform a restore you can use the bconsole application:
sudo bconsole
Specific configuration of the file/tape storage is in the Storage director /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf
- Bacula uses the hard drive as a series of Tape drives.
- Each Volume is a predetermined size (~500MB currently), when a volume fills bacula makes the next one.
- Volumes older than a certain date or when volume increments have reach a configured maximum can be recycled into the available disk pool.
- Useful commands
sudo bconsole #get into console
== once in console == list jobs #lists all jobs list job=BackupWiki #list all jobs with specific name and shows the dates and job id of each list joblog jobid=21541 #list details of a job like how many bytes backed up, date and # of files backed up list files jobid=21541 #Lists the actual files backed up in this run list clients #list all job clients (each is dedicated to servicing a particular backup run job=BackupWeb18a #manually triggers a named job to run and will return the job id
Recovery
- If you use bconsole to recover data bacula does the work of finding the files you want and pulling them out of the various volumes.
- Directory for recovered files is set in the bacula-dir.conf under:
Job {
Name = "RestoreFiles"
Type = Restore
Client = backup.osgeo.osuosl.org-fd
FileSet = "Full Set"
Storage = File
Pool = Default
Messages = Standard
Where = /tmp/bacula-restores
}
- Directions for how to restore
sudo bconsole *restore
Then follow the prompts, using the above linked guide to help find the files you want.
