I have a small server running Ubuntu Lucid, on which I have installed Webmin
1.550 and Bacula 5.0.1 and MySQL (applications installed using apt-get). I am
backing up to a file share on another machine, and the set up basically works.
I still need to fine tune a few things, but I can backup, etc. However,
getting to this point was a bit ugly, because the Bacula documentation does not
entirely agree with the software that I have installed. For example, I cannot
find drop_bacula_tables or make_bacula_tables scripts, and a bit of Googling
suggests that those scripts don't get installed on Ubuntu, for no apparent
reason. Furthermore, the Start and Stop Bacula buttons in Webmin appear to
start/stop the bacula-dir process, but not the fd or sd processes. I can start
and stop everything on the command line, but I'm going to have to hand this
system over to semi-technical people shortly, and they may not cope with the
Linux command line (which is why I used Webmin in the first place).
Obviously the start/stop thing is a Webmin issue, but I am hoping that someone
on this list will already have fought this particular battle, and can tell me
how they did it.
I have considered upgrading Bacula to 5.0.3, but I don't want to find that I am
opening a new can of worms by doing so. Does anyone have any guidance on the
Bacula upgrade experience on Lucid? I would like to upgrade the machine
itself, but I need a decent backup before I can attempt that.
So: Ubuntu Lucid. Is there anyway to get the missing database scripts, any
simple fix to starting and stopping Bacula via Webmin, and will I have a better
experience with Bacula 5.0.3?
Thanks and regards
