Recipes
- director.rb - install bacula-dir daemon. This daemon manages all processes of backup.
- storage.rb - install bacula-sd. This daemon manages the storage of backups.
Usage
How it works.
Bacula consists from three parts: director, storage and client. Director this is a server. It keeps all information about backups jobs, runs jobs and connects other parts. Storage server keeps volume files. Volume file is a binary file with a backup. And client makes a backup and transfers it to a storage.
Bacula director can't be started if the bacula storage and at least one client didn't configured. So you must provision at least one client and bacula storage before you will provision bacula director.
To install client you must use bacula-client cookbook.
Data bags
Cookbook uses data bag name from attribute node['bacula']['databag'] and item name from node['bacula']['databag_item']
Data bag example:
{
"id": "bacula",
"fd_password": "fd_password",
"db_password": "bacula",
"db_user": "bacula",
"postgres_root_password": "postgres",
"console_password": "console_password",
"sd_password": "sd_password"
}
