Description:

Bacula - It comes by night and sucks the vital essence from your computers.

Bacula is a set of computer programs that permit you (or the system
administrator) to manage backup, recovery, and verification of computer
data across a network of computers of different kinds. In technical terms,
it is a network client/server based backup program. Bacula is relatively
easy to use and efficient, while offering many advanced storage management
features that make it easy to find and recover lost or damaged files.
Bacula source code has been released under the GPL version 2 license.

This package installs scripts for disaster recovery and builds rescue
floppy disks and cdroms for bare metal recovery. This package includes tomsrtbt
(http://www.toms.net/rb/, by Tom Oehser, Tom@Toms.NET) to provide a tool
to build a boot floppy disk.

You need to have the bacula-sqlite, bacula-mysql, bacula-postgresql or
bacula-client package for your platform installed and configured before
installing this package.

To create a floppy boot disk run "./getdiskinfo" from the /etc/bacula/rescue/floppy
directory (this is done when the package is first installed),
then run "./install.s" from the /etc/bacula/rescue/floppy/tomsrtbt/
directory. To make the bacula rescue disk run
"./make_rescue_disk --copy-static-bacula --copy-etc-files"
from the /etc/bacula/rescue/floppy directory. To recreate the rescue
information for this system run ./getdiskinfo again.

To create a rescue cdrom run "make all" from the /etc/bacula/rescue/cdrom
directory which will create an iso image file. You can burn that image with your
favorite cd burning utility or run "make burn" after examining and possibly
adjusting /etc/bacula/rescue/cdrom/Makefile. To recreate the rescue
information for this system run /etc/bacula/rescue/cdrom/bacula/getdiskinfo again.
