There are three daemons involved, bacula-fd, bacula-sd, and bacula-dir. The bacula-fd daemon is the client. It must have permissions to read all of the files it is to backup. Often, bacula-fd must run as root in order to backup files and directories that are only accessible by root. The bacula-dir daemon generally runs as bacula:bacula, as it only needs read/write access to its own work and spool directories. The bacula-sd daemon does the actual writing to backup volumes. It often runs as bacula:tape and needs read/write access to the tape drive(s) and the bacula work directory. Also, if you are using selinux or apparmor then you must make sure the Bacula daemons have access to what they need. > > I hope this explanation is detailed enough. > > If anyone has some suggestions / feedback, I would much appreciate it. > > Regards. > Rob > > +---------------------------------------------------------------------- > |This was sent by vangend.rob...@gmail.com via Backup Central. > |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. > +---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
