Hi every: After install Bacula I need to configure bacula-dir to test if it works or not. Reading the manual left by Mathieu [1] I have a lot of questions. In the section: " Server (Director) Configuration (bacula-dir.conf)" I see:
################### DEFINE DIRECTOR ############################# Director { Name = backup-dir #or whatever name you want Description = "Bacula Director - $MY_LOCATION" # "Bacula Director - Main Office" DIRport = 9101 QueryFile = "/etc/bacula/query.sql" WorkingDirectory = "/var/bacula" PidDirectory = "/var/run" Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2 FDConnectTimeout = 1min SDConnectTimeout = 1min Password = "$CONSOLE_PASSWORD" # "gsdfgfdsg44" Messages = Daemon } The Password parameter is generated automatically? Because I have a large and strong password here that I never wrote before I think. Now in this other section: ################### DEFINE CLIENTS ############################## Client { Name = $SOME_IMPORTANT_CLIENT-fd # accountant-fd Address = $FQDN_OR_IP # accountant.mydomain.local FDPort = 9102 Catalog = GiantCatalog Password = "$CLIENT_ACCESS_PASSWORD" # "strong_password" File Retention = 6 days Job Retention = 6 days AutoPrune = yes Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2 } I have only two doubts: In Address parameter I can write the IP address and not the DNS name? The Password Parameter is the administrator account in the workstation in wich I have Bacula Client installed, no? This are for now Cheers, thanks in advance and waiting for answers [1] http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Encrypted_Backup_System_Using_Bacula_and_GnuPG Ing.
