Where should backups be stored?
After checking the FHS, there's a bit of confusion about this issue. There are 3 possible locations: /srv, /var/backups and /var/spool/backups.
I have decided to put them in /var/backups since it's mentioned in the FHS and it's relevant to me.
Nevertheless, Southern_Gentlem; of irc://freenode.net/#fedora suggested to use /srv since he uses it and Red Hat uses it.
Anyway, please, feel free to discuss this here. Renich 00:41, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
When you ask "where should backups be stored", what exactly do you mean? Bacula can write it's backups to tape, dvd, removable media. Do you mean the backup database, which can also be stored under the database system?
Any files used as volumes for bacula should be stored in a location of the user's choice: the user needs the ability to be able to add capacity as necessary. For the catalogue, this is probably best stored in the default database location. barry905, 28th February 2010
Password generation
I have run intro trouble while using signs in the passwords. I'd rather advise people to use lower and upper caps and numbers. I'd like some feedback about this, if possible. Renich 21:23, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
Distributed configuration
I like creating:
/etc/bacula/conf.d/
And adding all the specific conf files there. Afterwards, I just add the following to /etc/bacula/bacula.dir.conf:
@/etc/bacula/conf.d/foo-client.conf @/etc/bacula/conf.d/bar-client.conf @/etc/bacula/conf.d/jobs.conf
I'd love some feedback and suggestions on how to make this even better; so one can just add clients and jobs and stuff and have them well organized. A script for generating this would be awesome! ;) Renich 21:27, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
SELinux
I haven't had much trouble with SELinux. Yet, I'm not so well informed on the creation of policies and stuff so, If anyone can tell me anything about this, would be awesome! Renich 21:29, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
