Thank you everyone who has so far given us advice on this! > Homebrew is what I use. When I first started I was on Bacula 7.x, and I was able to build the right version by giving Brew a URL to the one I wanted, e.g.: brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/d64d46de37997193263c8694739325428732a408/Formula/bacula-fd.rb (Don't use that one, it's v7.x, but it's an example.) I wrote an installer script that checked for Brew, installed if necessary, installed bacula-fd and its dependencies, and put in some custom firewall rules. I recommend this, it really makes things easier. I can share mine if you need a template. I also have a RunScript that will keep a machine awake until the backup is finished -- handy when using wake-on-LAN, since modern Macs go into "darkwake" and will sleep again after about 30 seconds if it's not disabled. -- David Brodbeck (they/them) System Administrator, Department of Mathematics University of California, Santa Barbara
