In technical terms, it is a network +Client/Server based backup program. Bareos 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. Due to its modular design, +Bareos is scalable from small single computer systems to systems consisting +of hundreds of computers located over a large network. + +This script comes with a few options that can be set at build time, one of +which is DATABASE. Supported databases include postgresql, mysql and sqlite3. +By default mysql is selected, to disable or select another database, run: + + DATABASE="" ./bareos.SlackBuild + +Some say that having everything under /opt/bareos can be more backup friendly +for disaster recovery situations, and since the official documentation also +mentions this prefix in quite a few places, running the script with: + + OPT_PREFIX=yes ./bareos.SlackBuild + +will put (almost) everything into /opt/bareos directory. + +Another option worth mentioning is Bat, which by default comes disabled, and +if enabled with BAT=yes variable, creates a package with desktop entries. +Additionally, smtp delivery agent is assumed running on localhost, and job +announcements and core dumps are sent to root@localhost email address. Both +can be changed with EMAIL and SMTPHOST variables. + +For more information on upgrading from previous version and from Bacula +see README.SLACKWARE that came with this package (which is also installed +with the documentation). |
