Install Bacula in CentOS 6.4

In this how-to i am using MySQL for database, you can use either PostgreSQL or MySQL. My Backup server hostname and IP Address are “backup.unixmen.local” and “192.168.1.200/24″ respectively.

[root@server ~]# yum install bacula-director-mysql bacula-console bacula-client bacula-storage-mysql mysql-server mysql-devel -y

Start MySQL service and create root password for mysql.

Note: In this tutorial, i am using password as “centos” wherever i need to setup password . Define your own.

[root@server ~]# /etc/init.d/mysqld start

[root@server ~]# chkconfig mysqld on

[root@server ~]# mysqladmin -u root password centos

Next run the following commands one by one to create necessary tables for bacula. Here “-u root” means that login with root account and “-p” means prompt for mysql password i.e “centos” in this case.

[root@server ~]# /usr/libexec/bacula/grant_mysql_privileges -u root -p

[root@server ~]# /usr/libexec/bacula/create_mysql_database -u root -p

[root@server ~]# /usr/libexec/bacula/make_mysql_tables -u root -p

[root@server ~]# /usr/libexec/bacula/grant_bacula_privileges -u root -p

Now change the bacula user password.

[root@server ~]# mysql -u root -p

Enter password:

mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET password=PASSWORD("centos") WHERE user='bacula';

Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.01 sec)

Rows matched: 2  Changed: 2  Warnings: 0

mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> quit

Now update all the configuration files with new password and addresses as shown below.

Update Bacula director

[root@server ~]# vi /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf

Director {                            # define myself

  Name = bacula-dir

  DIRport = 9101                # where we listen for UA connections

  QueryFile = "/usr/libexec/bacula/query.sql"

  WorkingDirectory = "/var/spool/bacula"

  PidDirectory = "/var/run"

  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1

  Password = "centos"         # Console password

  Messages = Daemon

# Client (File Services) to backup

Client {

  Name = bacula-fd

  Address = backup.unixmen.local

  FDPort = 9102

  Catalog = MyCatalog

  Password = "centos"          # password for FileDaemon

  File Retention = 30 days            # 30 days

  Job Retention = 6 months            # six months

  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired Jobs/Files

}

# Definition of file storage device

Storage {

  Name = File

# Do not use "localhost" here

  Address = backup.unixmen.local                # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here

  SDPort = 9103

  Password = "centos"

  Device = FileStorage

  Media Type = File

}

# Generic catalog service

Catalog {

  Name = MyCatalog

# Uncomment the following line if you want the dbi driver

# dbdriver = "dbi:sqlite3"; dbaddress = 127.0.0.1; dbport =

  dbname = "bacula"; dbuser = "bacula"; dbpassword = "centos"

}

Console {

  Name = bacula-mon

  Password = "centos"

  CommandACL = status, .status

}

Update Bacula console

[root@server ~]# vi /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf

Director {

  Name = bacula-dir

  DIRport = 9101

  address = localhost

  Password = "centos"

}

Update the Storage Daemon

[root@server ~]# vi /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf

Director {

  Name = bacula-dir

  Password = "centos"

}

##Delete the following lines (Do not uncomment). As i installed centos minimal server, i don't have a GUI mode, so that i deleted the following section##

# Restricted Director, used by tray-monitor to get the

#   status of the storage daemon

#

Director {

  Name = bacula-mon

  Password = "@@MON_SD_PASSWORD@@"

  Monitor = yes

}

Device {

  Name = FileStorage

  Media Type = File

  Archive Device = /mybackup

  LabelMedia = yes;                   # lets Bacula label unlabeled media

  Random Access = Yes;

  AutomaticMount = yes;               # when device opened, read it

  RemovableMedia = no;

  AlwaysOpen = no;

}

Update the file daemon

[root@server ~]# vi /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf

# List Directors who are permitted to contact this File daemon

#

Director {

Name = bacula-dir

Password = "centos"

}

##Delete (do not uncomment) these lines if you only using CUI mode in Backup server ##

# Restricted Director, used by tray-monitor to get the

#   status of the storage daemon

#

Director {

Name = bacula-mon

Password = "@@MON_SD_PASSWORD@@"

Monitor = yes

}

As i mentioned in the above configuration that my archive data path is “/mybackup”. So lets create a directory called “mybackup”.

[root@server ~]# mkdir /mybackup

[root@server ~]# chown bacula /mybackup

Now we finished all passwords and address modifications. Next restart all bacula daemons.

[root@server ~]# /etc/init.d/bacula-dir start

Starting bacula-dir:                                       [  OK  ]

[root@server ~]# /etc/init.d/bacula-fd start

Starting bacula-fd:                                        [  OK  ]

[root@server ~]# /etc/init.d/bacula-sd start

Starting bacula-sd:                                        [  OK  ]

[root@server ~]# chkconfig bacula-dir on

[root@server ~]# chkconfig bacula-fd on

[root@server ~]# chkconfig bacula-sd on

Bacula is running successfully now. You can now add clients, jobs and volumes by updating the bacula config files. Alternatively you can use webmin for this purpose. It is quite easy then updating the config files manually.

Download and install webmin

[root@server ~]# wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.620-1.noarch.rpm

[root@server ~]# rpm -ivh webmin-1.620-1.noarch.rpm

[root@server ~]# /etc/init.d/webmin start

[root@server ~]# chkconfig webmin on

Now you can login through webmin by “//http://server-ip-address or server-domain-name:10000/”. If you want to access the bacula server through webmin, allow the webmin port “10000″ and bacula ports “9101″, “9102″, “9103″ through your firewall or router.

Add these following lines in your iptables config file.

[root@server ~]# vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables

-A INPUT -p udp -m state --state NEW --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT

-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT

-A INPUT -p udp -m state --state NEW --dport 9101 -j ACCEPT

-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW --dport 9101 -j ACCEPT

-A INPUT -p udp -m state --state NEW --dport 9102 -j ACCEPT

-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW --dport 9102 -j ACCEPT

-A INPUT -p udp -m state --state NEW --dport 9103 -j ACCEPT

-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW --dport 9103 -j ACCEPT

Restart iptables.

[root@server ~]# service iptables restart

Install webacula bacula backup server on CentOS/RHEL, Fedora

You need to install php-ZendFramework before Webacula.

Add remi and epel repositories.

# rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
# rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm

Install ZendFramework and Db-Adapter for Mysql

# yum --enablerepo=remi install php-ZendFramework php-ZendFramework-Db-Adapter-Pdo-Mysql

Now download webacula, untar it and move it under /usr/share

# wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/webacula/files/latest/download
# tar zxvf webacula-5.5.1.tar.gz
# mv webacula-5.5.1 /usr/share/webacula
# cd /usr/share/webacula
# cd install/
# php check_system_requirements.php

Move to the library directory and create a symlink for Zend. You will find Zend under /usr/share/php/Zend/

# cd /usr/share/webacula/library/
# ln -s /usr/share/php/Zend/ .

Open db.conf file and add the password.

# cd /usr/share/webacula/install/
# vi db.conf

This password will be used to login to webacula console.

db_name="bacula"
db_user="root"
db_pwd="mysqlroot@123"

webacula_root_pwd="baculapass"

Execute the scripts to create db tables for webcaula.

# cd /usr/share/webacula/install/MySql/
# ./10_make_tables.sh
# ./20_acl_make_tables.sh

If you have bacula installed you would probably have bacula group, if not then add it. Add apache to bacula group.

# groupadd bacula
# usermod -aG bacula apache

Allow Apache to execute bconsole file using bconsole.conf configuration file. My bconsole binary is under /usr/local/bacula/bin/

# chown root:bacula /usr/local/bacula/bin/bconsole
# chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o= /usr/local/bacula/bin/bconsole

# chown root:bacula /usr/local/bacula/bin/bconsole.conf
# chmod u=rw,g=r,o= /usr/local/bacula/bin/bconsole.conf

Edit application/config.ini and add the bacula database name and credentials. Also remove sudo path and edit bacula.bconsole binary location. The sudo path would be /sbin/sudo, remove that and left the field blank as shown below

# vi /usr/share/webacula/application/config.ini

Edit the hostname, db name, root username and password

db.adapter = PDO_MYSQL
db.config.host = localhost
db.config.username = mysqlroot@123
db.config.dbname = bacula

bacula.sudo = ""
bacula.bconsole = "/usr/local/bacula/bin/bconsole"

Copy the configuration file for Apache to /etc/httpd/conf.d

# cp /usr/share/webacula/install/apache/webacula.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/

Edit the webacula.conf file.

# vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/webacula.conf

Add the allowed IP’s that can access webacula. If you wish to remove this restriction comment the Deny from all feild.

Allow from 192.161.150.0/255.255.255.0

or

# Deny from all

Increase values in /etc/php.ini :

# vi /etc/php.ini

Set the values for the following variables.

memory_limit = 128M
max_execution_time = 300

Restart the Apache service

# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
