Hi list!,
I'm trying to configure a new bacula server, so this time I'd like to
make it as clear and flexible as I can.
On the director side, my idea is to have a few config files, and then
import them at client's.
Inside bacula-dir.conf, I'm including a file for the client:
@/etc/bacula/director-cfgs/clients/client1.conf
Here is the output of it:
Client {
Name = Client1
Address = client1.example.local
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = "123456"
AutoPrune = yes
}
Fileset {
** blah **
}
And from this file, I'm including two more files for storages and pools:
***** Storages.conf ****
Storage {
Name = "${Client}_Monthly_Disk"
Address = 123.123.123.100
SDPORT = 9103
Password = "123456"
Device = "${Client}_Monthly_Device"
MediaType = "${Client}_MediaType"
}
Storage {
Name = "${Client}_Yearly_Disk"
Address = 123.123.123.200
SDPORT = 9103
Password = "123456"
Device = "${Client}_Yearly_Device"
MediaType = "${Client}_MediaType"
}
****** Pools.conf ******
Pool {
Name = Monthly_Full_Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
Volume Retention = 14 months
Storage = "${Client}_Monthly_Disk"
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
AutoPrune = yes
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Label Format =
"${Client}_Monthly_Full-${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}"
}
Pool {
Name = Yearly_Full_Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
Volume Retention = 3 years
Storage = "${Client}_Yearly_Disk"
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
AutoPrune = yes
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Label Format = "${Client}_Yearly_Full-${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}"
}
In this schema, I should be able to include storages.conf and
pools.conf from every client config. Also, updating or adding a new
storage/pool would be very simple.
The thing is that the Object "Storage" doesn't accepts variables on
"Name", and if a set a fixed name for it, bacula complains that the
storage declared under Pool doesn't exists.
I also have a jobs.conf, where some jobs are declared with variables
too, but for the sake of shortness I omitted in this post.
Can you give me some advice?
Can't find the way of doing it without declaring a lot of jobs, pools
and storages for each client, which is a pain in the arse.
Have read the doc a few times, but there isn't much information about
variables (did I miss something?).
Cheers,
Martin
