If you read the email thread, I was not asking for technical help. I was simply asking if anyone has had success with the S3 plugin. With the lack of responses, I can only assume nobody has got it working. Which means the plugin does not work, so it should be removed from the repo. ________________________________ From: Heitor Faria <hei...@bacula.com.br> Sent: Friday, April 30, 2021 7:09 AM To: Jim Joyce <jim.jo...@vecna.com> Cc: bacula-users <Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] S3 "Driver" Doesn't Work 11.0.2
Hello Jim, For anyone following this thread, I did compile/install the Bacula hacked libs3 and I'm still getting driver not loaded error. You are not interested in solving your technical error. If that was true, you would bring the OS, Bacula and libs3 versions you tried, commands, inputs and outputs. IMHO you are more concerned in expressing your frustrations. It is comprehensible due to this hard times, I feel you. I can only assume that Bacula does not test their community version very well, if at all. Like I wrote before, free software relies most in volunteer work and comes with no warranty or support. I'm not part of the project but I believe your company (Vecna) never made a single contribution to it. Why are you so entitled? Also, as we all know, CentOS is dead, so why not focus development on Ubuntu/Debian? RHEL and CentOS were and stil are the mainstream OSs for many enterprise grade applications, APIs and variant distributions, such as VMware VSphere, RHV, Citrix Xen, Oracle Linux, Oracle DB etc. Most hardware vendors (such as Dell and EMC that I think you know well) only homologate hardware for RHEL, when they do. CentOS 7 still has support untill 2024. Bacula development will probably use and recommend the new distribution that will attend most of the enterprise users needs and requirements, not the one you like more or cheer for.

That's what I figured as I have tried the latest version and various 9.x versions with the same "Driver not properly loaded" results. The only distro I haven't tried is CentOS 7.x as that distro is being discontinued. I guess there is zero QA for this so-called plug-in. Time to start looking for another backup solution. I think you missed that part where GPL software comes for free to the company that you work, but without any kind of support or warranty. You can always build the code yourself and make it work, or acquire a software license with support. That said, your error is most likely caused by not having the the proper libs3 packages maintained by the bacula.org project. The reason for this, if I remember right, is that the original libs3 author is not updating the libraries to keep up with the S3 protocol evolution. That drawback was highly advertised and discussed in this very same list: "[snip] ... S3 driver: If you are trying to build the S3 drivers, please remember to use the community supplied (from Bacula Enterprise) version of libs3.so found at: https://www.bacula.org/downloads/libs3-20181010.tar.gz<https://www.bacula.org/downloads/libs3-20181010.tar.gz>" You have to download them and build them from source. On CentOS 7 I had success using the following script: yum install curl libcurl-devel libxml2 cd /usr/src wget https://www.bacula.org/downloads/libs3-20200523.tar.gz tar -xzvf libs3-20200523.tar.gz cd /usr/src/libs3-20200523 make make install Nevertheless, the Bacula Enterprise version Drivers and Plugins come with all builtin necessary libraries. These ones are tested by a highly skilled QA team, they work out-of-the-box, and they support all clouds (not only the S3 protocol). Perhaps you should consider that due to your high quality standards.
