Hello everyone,
I am attempting to build Bacula on a Debian system. I am very much new
at Bacula, I have been reading the tutorials past several days, and
right now I am just doing testing on a secondary box before I mess
with the primary. So if I screw something up, tis no big deal. I am
familiar with Linux, but have just begun working with Debian (required
for this project), so I can't say I know Debian inside and out.
When I was downloading the packages, I saw that there were .deb files.
Are those not the Debian installer files? I don't recall seeing
anything about Debian in the tutorials other then the fact it was a
supported OS. Has anyone used them to install that could give me some
pointers? Is it easier to install or more difficult?
It's no big deal to rebuild from source (I have done it once already,
but I screwed it up when tweaking it). So I can do it again, I am just
trying out other methods so I know exactly what to do when I begin
work on the the primary system.
Also, I will be dumping the backups to a raid5 array, so if anyone has
any comments, I would greatly appreciate hearing about what tends to
work best.
Thanks,
~Stack~

The .debs are packages for Debian, but, if you are running Sarge, you
can just install the Debian packages for Bacula. I think they are
version 1.36.2. I would recommend just using the Debian packages
unless there is a feature in the newer versions that you need. To
install the Debian packages you can use the apt-get tools. Run
something like apt-cache search bacula to see what the package names
are and then run apt-get to install the packages you want. For
example, apt-get install bacula-fd would install the bacula file
daemon. If you want to use the newer Debian packages you can download
them and then install them with a dpkg -i <name of package>.
