changing default location of bareos.sql

[DUCARROZ Birgit]

Hi,

I would like to change the default location of the bareos.sql dump to
another share.

I changed in
/usr/lib/bareos/defaultconfigs/bareos-dir.d/fileset/Catalog.conf

and in
/etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/fileset/Catalog.conf


and restarted the services.
But the dump is still writing into /var/lib/bareos

what am I missing?

Kind regards,
Birgit

Hi

I this case you need to change in the script that runs before and after the backupjob

In "/usr/lib/bareos/scripts/make_catalog_backup.pl" you find the following line: 

my $wd = "/var/lib/bareos";

wd = working directory

I guess you need to change even in the cleanup script running after job,

"/usr/lib/bareos/scripts/delete_catalog_backup"

Then, NOT to forget you need to change the backupjobs Fileset, and add yur new path to your database dumpfile here in File=:

FileSet {

  Name = "Catalog"

  Description = "Backup the catalog dump and Bareos configuration files."

  Include {

    Options {

      signature = MD5

    }

    File = "/var/lib/bareos/bareos.sql" # database dump

    File = "/etc/bareos"                   # configuration

  }

}

Good luck!

--> ok I found it. I changed the my $wd = "/path/to/dir"
in /usr/lib/bareos/scripts/make_catalog_backup.pl

hope this is the right way to do it.
Anyway, it works.
