Hello Robert,

The directory defined in the field "Baculum working directory for
Bacula config" can be any directory (newly created or existing) in
your filesystem for which Baculum API web server user can write
something. In newer versions of Baculum there is a tooltip with
information about this directory and the field has an example proposed
directory displayed.

The tooltip says:

"In this directory Baculum API saves temporarily Bacula configuration
files (mainly for validation purposes) just before they are written as
real Bacula configuration files."

and example value there is: /etc/baculum/Config-api-apache

For permissions, they should enable writing to this directory by
Baculum API web server user. For the rest it should be not accessible.

Good luck.

Best regards,
Marcin Haba (gani)
