Hello,

Oracle S3 is not compatible with Amazon S3 or at least with the libs3 that we use to interface to AWS and other compatible S3 cloud offerings. 

Yes, Bacula Enterprise has a separate Oracle cloud driver that they wrote.  There are no plans at the moment to backport it to the community version.

Best regards,

Kern

Dear all,

I'm testing communty version of bacula in order to change backup sw for app. 100 virtual and physical hosts. I would like to move all the data to local storage and then move them to public cloud (Oracle Object storage).

I believe that community version of the software suites our needs. I have installed:
-version 9.6.5 of bacula on centos 7 computer
-oracle storage gateway (similar to aws SG - it moves data to object storage and exposes it localy as nfsv4; for bacula this is backup destination).

I have read this two documents regarding bacula and cloud
https://blog.bacula.org/whitepapers/CloudBackup.pdf
https://blog.bacula.org/whitepapers/ObjectStorage.pdf

It is mentioned it the document above, that Oracle Object storage is not supported at the moment.
Is it possible to configure bacula Storage device in a way that uses Cloud media format (directory with file parts as a volume, instead of a single file as a volume) without actual cloud sync (Storage Gateway does this in my case)? I am experimenting with variations of the definition bellow, but I am unable to solve this issue for now (it tries to initialize cloud plugin or it writes to a file, instead of a directory).

Device {
  Name = FSOciCloudStandard
#  Device type = Cloud
  Device type = File
#  Cloud = OracleViaStorageGateway
  Maximum Part Size = 100 MB
#  Media Type = File
  Media Type = CloudType
  Archive Device = /mnt/baculatest_standard/backup
  LabelMedia = yes;                   # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
  Random Access = Yes;
  AutomaticMount = yes;               # when device opened, read it
  RemovableMedia = no;
  AlwaysOpen = no;
}

Is there any plan to support oracle object storage in near future? It has S3 compatible API and bacula enterprise supports it...
Kind regards,
Ziga Zvan
