I am wondering if anyone could provide some assistance. I have just
upgraded Debian Lenny to Squeeze on my server and decided to try Bacula
to set up a disk-to-disk (initial full backup) daily incremental backup
using two (NTFS formatted) external drives rotated on a weekly basis, so
one disk is held off-site while the other is in use. I'm not trying to
back up clients at this point.
I ran the following command to install Bacula:
apt-get install bacula
The installation appeared to be successful although I did notice during
the installation process that SQLite appeared to be being installed -
surprising since I have an active MySQL server installation.
When I then went into the Webmin Bacula module in an attempt to start
configuring a backup I was presented with the following error:
Failed to connect to the Bacula database : Failed to load the database
DBI driver SQLite at ./bacula-backup-lib.pl line 44. Maybe it is not set
up, or the module configuration is incorrect.
... so I checked Module Config and tried changing the path to the
database to:
/var/lib/bacula/bacula.db
... but that didn't work either.
I checked online to see if anyone else had had a similar problem and
came across a post that recommended checking to see that the (DBI or
DBD) perl driver for mysql was installed. I checked and have the
following related perl modules installed:
libdb-file-lock-perl 0.05-3
libdbd-mysql-perl 4.016-1
libdbi-perl 1.612-1
Next I tried changing the database server to MySQL under Module Config
but that didn't work either as I get the following error:
Failed to connect to the Bacula database : Failed to login to the
database /var/lib/bacula/bacula.db : Access denied for user
'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO). Maybe it is not set up, or the
module configuration is incorrect.
I realise that the path to the database may now be incorrect as it is
the path to the SQLite database file.
I then tried changing the path to the database to:
/var/lib/mysql
but got a similar error:
Failed to connect to the Bacula database : Failed to login to the
database /var/lib/mysql : Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'
(using password: NO). Maybe it is not set up, or the module
configuration is incorrect.
I then checked the Users and can see that a user called bacula has been
created (primary group = bacula; secondary groups = tape).
Then I checked MySQL Database Server (via Webmin) and can see that there
is no bacula database present and there is no bacula user listed under
User Permissions.
Any pointers as to what to do to try and get bacula configured and
started so I can get a backup up and running would be appreciated.
