I think you're answering a different question from the one that's been
asked ;-)
Yes, the plugin is an FD-plugin but as I understand the question it was
about whether you can do something like:
(bareos dir, sd and so on) <--------> (bareos fd with the plugin)
<-------- (mariadb server)
In other words, calling out from the host with bareos FD and the plugin
installed to yet another external host for the backup.
You can provide your own my.cnf file for the mariadb-backup tool called
by the plugin so you might try specifying your remote host there.
(haven't tested this one myself though)

The plugin is dedicated to FD so you should use and have a
bareos-filedaemon installed where your database are located.
Hope this clarify the situation.
By any chance if you found another formulation how to describe the
plugin, I'm fine to include your proposal in a PR to update the
documentation.

Hello,
i'd like to back up a remote MariaDB server using the Bareos File
Daemon plugin "bareos-filedaemon-mariabackup-python-plugin" via
the "mariadb-backup" command. I've read that this is only possible
if the database server and the "mariadb-backup" tool are running
on the same server. Is that correct? Since the Bareos server is
usually not installed on the same server as the database server,
would that mean that this plugin
"bareos-filedaemon-mariabackup-python-plugin" can't be used at
all? Does that mean I would have to back up all databases remotely
via dump using Bareos? That would be very cumbersome. Have I
understood this correctly? Regards, Stefan Harbich
