Hello Myles,

I was one of the first people to try Bacula + rclone integration techniques, but I don't recommend it anymore. While it works, it is a rather inefficient and riskier integration, and now there is a Bacula S3 plugin that allows direct bucket writing in both community (bacula.org packages) and enterprise editions: https://www.bacula.lat/enterprise-bacula-s3-swift-ceph-and-cloud-storage-driver-quick-guide/?lang=en > 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.

I also heard a lot of good things from RocketChat: https://www.rocket.chat/ > 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. Bacula Enterprise has a very good BareMetal plugin for both *nix and Windows systems. It is a very sophisticated solution however, that even allows dissimilar hardware restore, re-partitioning, among others. I don't think it is easily reproducible with open source solutions, such as Linux. I understood this is Kubernets container? If that's is the case, you might have what you need with a Kubernetes backup approach. https://bacula.org/13.0.x-manuals/en/main/Plugins.html If you want a Bare Metal from the full Kubernetes host, than a VM/Cloud image level backup via API might be more practical, maybe using bpipe. Of course, it depends of your VM/Cloud technology, Rgds.
