[Bacula-users] Does anybody have a working Linux ISO that will allow me to restore from an offsite Bacula backup?

I spent most of today trying to create a custom ISO manually, with no success. I'm trying to boot locally in my VirtualBox before the main event in which I'll remotely mount it into my cloud server's IPMI ASMB9-iKVM and boot it using a virtual CDROM drive. I'm aiming to try CUBIC next to custom

Re: [Bacula-users] Any suggestions for fail2ban jail for Bacula Director ?

I nailed this. I created a cron job that, every ten minutes or so, runs "journalctl -u bacula-dir > /opt/bacula/log/bacula-dir-journal.log" (since I opened bacula-dir's firewall port up to the public internet). I then created a fail2ban jail that scanned for authentication failure patterns and

[Bacula-users] Does Bacula allow me to configure different backup retention policies based on job age ?

Hello, How would I configure different backup retension policies (ie. backup densities) ? For example, for backups over a year old, I only want to retain backups every three months. For backups over six months old, I only want to retain backups every two months. For bacups within the last six

[Bacula-users] Some CDP plugin questions

Hello, Bacula experts. I was pleasantly surprised to see the CDP plugin is part of the community edition. I'm hoping to take full advantage of this. I'm running it on a Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS bare metal cloud server. After looking at the main reference manual section 47.1, I still have questions:

It appears I'm out of luck. Apprently, curlftpfs no longer supports the open+read+write operation that Bacula requires, so it looks like I'll have to move to a different storage provider. https://sourceforge.net/p/curlftpfs/discussion/542750/thread/53e47b71/ Thanks for all the help so far, muc
