I`d be pleased to provide more detail, I was trying to keep my answer terse,
obviously I undershot !?
I commissioned our cloud server, installing our business services and then
securing with community edition Bacula system backup to an offsite Koofr
storage backend, via rclone. I also installed and configured Bacularis with
appropriate Nginx reverse-proxying and production SSL cert install.
I then attempted to install element.io (as a potential Slack replacement for
our company) and all he** broke loose, the microk8s installer completely
decimated my NGINX configuration and all services stopped working. The
element.io "support" team declined to help me recover my system from an
installer that crashed halfway through, leaving the system in an unstable state.
Thus, I wish to restore the entire bare metal cloud server from a complete
Bacula backup I took just prior to doing this test install.
After trying and failing to use more low-level manual means, I`m now pivoting
and trying to adapt an existing Live Ubuntu ISO and install appropriate Bacula
packages and storage backend linkages using CUBIC. I plan to test the ISO on
local VirtualBox and ultimately bring it up in a virtual CDROM on my cloud
server`s ASMB9-iKV. I then want the ISO to come up with all Bacula services
primed and ready for a full system restore.
I`m not sure what the history was that led up to the removal of the Live ISO
from the community Bacula builds, but it`s taking a LOT of my time to figure
out how to do restores on an unstable system. Is there a reason a basic
universal Bacula recovery ISO isn't being built with each community release ?
Thanks,
