Bacula comes by night and sucks the vital essence from your computers.
|
|
|
|
Bacula is a set of computer programs that permit you (or the system
|
|
administrator) 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. Bacula 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, Bacula is scalable from
|
|
small single computer systems to systems consisting of hundreds of
|
|
computers located over a large network.
|
|
|
|
bacula-server contains the bacula-sd "storage daemon" that writes the
|
|
backup data to the backup device. bacula-dir is the "director" that
|
|
manages backups. bconsole is the management application to control the
|
|
director and get status of file daemons and storage daemons.
|
|
|
|
Available flavors are:
|
|
- sqlite: use the sqlite 2.x library as a storage engine.
|
|
- sqlite3: use the sqlite 3.x library as a storage engine.
|
|
This is the default.
|
|
- pgsql: use a postgresql server as a storage engine.
|
|
- mysql: use a mysql server as a storage engine.
