Installation
apt-get install bacula-server bacula-console
Editing bacula-dir.conf file.
To edit This file:
vi /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf
Define your bacula director here: keep the parameter Name = director-name and Password = “dir-password” in mind as this is to be used in all the configuration files. Comment DirAddress=127.0.0.1
# Default Bacula Director Configuration file
Director { # define myself Name = director-name DIRport = 9101 QueryFile = “/etc/bacula/scripts/query.sql” WorkingDirectory = “/var/lib/bacula” PidDirectory = “/var/run/bacula” Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1 Password = “dir-password” Messages = Daemon # DirAddress = 127.0.0.1 }
These are the client configuration files stored at the following location.
This is a backup job file.
@/etc/bacula/clients/backupjob.conf
This is a restore job file.
@/etc/bacula/clients/restorejob.conf
We define storage device parameters here. This is the storage device that bacula uses to store backups. Name = storage-sd, Address = 10.28.79.159 and Password field are needed to edit here. Storage name is important as same name should be used while defining a job.
# Definition of file storage device
Storage { Name = storage-sd # Do not use “localhost” here Address = 10.28.79.159 SDPort = 9103 Password = “dir-password” Device = FileStorage Media Type = File }
Define a catalog and database parameters here
# Generic catalog service
Catalog { Name = MyCatalog # Uncomment the following line if you want the dbi driver # dbdriver = “dbi:sqlite3″; dbaddress = 127.0.0.1; dbport = dbname = bacula; DB Address = “”; dbuser = “bacula”; dbpassword = “word2pass” }We will use Default pool. The parameter Name = Default is to be defined in jobs.
# Default pool definition
Pool { Name = Default Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 365 days } # File Pool definition Pool { Name = mypool Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 365 days Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G Maximum Volumes = 100 }
Editing bacula-fd.conffile.
To edit This file:
vi /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf
The Name and Password will remain same as we defined in /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf
# List Directors who are permitted to contact this File daemon Director { Name = director-name Password = “dir-password” } Important Parameter here is Name of filedaemon. # “Global” File daemon configuration specifications FileDaemon { Name = filedaemon-name FDport = 9102 WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/bacula Pid Directory = /var/run/bacula Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 # FDAddress = 127.0.0.1 } # Send all messages except skipped files back to Director Messages { Name = Standard director = director-name = all, !skipped, !restored }
Edit bacula-sd.conf file.
To edit This file:
vi /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf
# Default Bacula Storage Daemon Configuration file
Important parameters are Name, it should be same as we defined in bacula-dit.conf and SDAddress should be commented out.
Storage { Name = storage-sd SDPort = 9103 WorkingDirectory = “/var/lib/bacula” Pid Directory = “/var/run/bacula” Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 # SDAddress = 127.0.0.1 }
Once again define the director here. Name and Password will remain same as we did in bacula-dir.conf
# List Directors who are permitted to contact Storage daemon Director { Name = director-name Password = “dir-password” } # Devices supported by this Storage daemon
Important parameter here are Archive Device this is where all the backup volumes will be stored, Define a path that should have space and appropriate permissions and change AlwaysOpen to yes.
Device { Name = FileStorage Media Type = File Archive Device = /backups LabelMedia = yes; Random Access = Yes; AutomaticMount = yes; RemovableMedia = no; AlwaysOpen = yes; }BackupJob Definitions.
I created a directory clients in /etc/bacula and stored backup and retore jobs.
vi /etc/bacula/clients/backupjob.conf
The Important parameters are Name, Address, Catalog, Password. Use dir-password here in Password parameter . Get IP of the client to fill in Address parameter and Name should match while defining the Job parameters. Catalog was defined in bacula-dir.conf file, we will use same Catalog.
Client {
Name = client-name
Address = IP address of the client to be backed up
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = “dir-password”
File Retention = 30 days
Job Retention = 6 months
AutoPrune = yes
}
The File set contains the file while are to be backed up. Name and File parameters are important here. Name parameter is to be used while defining Job. And Files define the path of client directory which is to be backed up.
FileSet {
Name = “file-set”
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
}
File = /htdocs
}
}
This is Job definition. Copy client-name from Client Definition, FileSet from FileSet Definition and Storage should be same as we defined in bacula-dir.conf. Type can be Backup/Restore. We are defining this job for backup right now. Pool will Default. Write Bootstrap File should exist at the path defined.
Job {
Name = Job-Name
Type = Backup
Client = client-name
FileSet = “file-set”
Storage = storage-sd
Pool = Default
Messages = Standard
Write Bootstrap = “/var/lib/bacula/mybootstrap.bsr”
}
RestoreJob Definitions.
I created a directory clients in /etc/bacula and stored backup and retore jobs.
vi /etc/bacula/clients/restorejob.conf
Restore Job definition will remain same as we did in backupjob but two parameters Type will be Restore and Where defines the location of restoration of files from backup volume.
Job {
Name = “restore job”
Type = Restore
Client = client-name
FileSet = “file-set”
Storage = storage-sd
Pool = Default
Messages = Standard
Where = /
# JobDefs = “FullBackupJob”
Write Bootstrap = “/var/lib/bacula/mybootstrap.bsr”
}
Edit bacula-fd.conf on client side.
vi /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf
Define director parameters. Same as we did in /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf.
# List Directors who are permitted to contact this File daemon
Director {
Name = director-name
Password = “dir-password”
}
The parameter FDAddress is to be commented out.
# “Global” File daemon configuration specifications
FileDaemon {
Name = filedaemon-name
FDport = 9102
WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/bacula
Pid Directory = /var/run/bacula
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
# FDAddress = 127.0.0.1
}
# Send all messages except skipped files back to Director
Messages {
Name = Standard
director = director-name = all, !skipped, !restored
}
Now edit bconsole.conf
vi /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf
Director {
Name = director-name
DIRport = 9101
address = IP address of bacula server
Password = “dir-password”
}
Run bconsole and enter the following commands
bconsole
root@farhan:/usr/share/php/libzend-framework-php# bconsole

Default ports 9101, 9102 and 9103 are used for bacula-director, bacula-fd and bacula-sd respectively in this tutorial
director-name should remain in bacula-dir.conf, bacula-fd.conf, bacula-sd.conf and client side bacula-fd.conf.
director-password should remain in bacula-dir.conf, bacula-fd.conf, bacula-sd.conf, backupjob.conf and client side bacula-fd.conf.
storage-sd should remain in bacula-dir.conf, bacula-sd.conf, backupjob.conf and restorejob.conf
MyCatalog should remain same in bacula-dir.conf and backupjob.conf
Default(pool) should remain same in bacula-dir.conf, backupjob.conf and restorejob.conf
client-name and file-set should remain same in backupjob.conf and restorejob.conf

Fan0o's Blog 
Your MySQL connection id is 178
Server version: 5.5.24-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 (Ubuntu)
mysql> CREATE USER ‘wbuser’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘wbpass’;
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘‘wbpass’’ at line 1
Thanks for the great step by step. Do you have any suggestions for this syntax not working in mysql?
i will suggest instead of copy pasting the query write it down manually This is the issue with the quotes ”. Manually putting the query will work fine Thanks
Thanks. Using ‘ worked better than using `
mysql> CREATE USER wbuser IDENTIFIED BY wbpass;
Aaron please elaborate what is wrong with mentioned MySql Query
Hi fan0o, thank you for this guide, very detailed. I have a problem at the end: when I try to reach my new webserver, instead of the login page, I can only see the folder stuff like an ftp server.
Can you help me?
Best regards
