Bacula (Manage backup, recovery) - Client and server
-Bacula is a set of computer programs that permit you (or the system admin) to
-manage backup, recovery, and verification of computer data across a network
-of computers of different kinds. In technical terms, it is a network
-Client/Server based backup program. Bacula is relatively easy to use and
-efficient, while offering many advanced storage management features that make
-it easy to find and recover lost or damaged files. Due to its modular design,
-Bacula is scalable from small single computer systems to systems consisting
-of hundreds of computers located over a large network.
-
-This script comes with a few options that can be set at build time, one of
-which is DATABASE. Supported databases include postgresql, mysql and sqlite3.
-By default mysql is selected, to disable or select another database, run:
-
- DATABASE="" ./bacula.SlackBuild
-
-Some say that having everything under /opt/bacula can be more backup friendly
-for disaster recovery situations, and since the official documentation also
-mentions this prefix in quite a few places, running the script with:
-
- OPT_PREFIX=yes ./bacula.SlackBuild
-
-will put (almost) everything into /opt/bacula directory.
-
-Another option worth mentioning is Bat, which by default comes disabled, and
-if enabled with BAT=yes variable, creates a package with desktop entries.
-Additionally, smtp delivery agent is assumed running on localhost, and job
-announcements and core dumps are sent to root@localhost email address. Both
-can be changed with EMAIL and SMTPHOST variables.
-
-For more information on upgrading from previous version see README.SLACKWARE
-that came with this package (which is also installed with the documentation).
