Hello list,

Im trying to backup my voip system if possible.

With Bareos it's usually not a question whether it is possible but how to do it ;-)

But seriously - since WebDAV is not a storage as such, just a method of access, you have two options. Either you have access to the server from which the DAV share is served and you back it up locally. But I suspect it's not the case since you're asking here. Second option is to use a plugin to emulate a file for bareos fd. (you always need to have a fd from which you're performing a backup). Since there is no dedicated plugin for DAV connectivity, you'd need to either use bpipe or python plugin to back up/restore a data stream which you'll have to provide from a custom script retrieving data from DAV share. You have to have a "helper" host though so you'd connect to fd installed on host A from which you launch script connecting to host B which hosts the DAV share and downloading data from it.

Best Regards,

MK

Hi,

while backing up WebDAV is not one of our priorities and there is no
ongoing effort to provide this, it sounds like it was a great addition
to Bareos. As it can probably be done with a FD-plugin written in
Python, it is most likely not that hard to do.

If you feel capable to write such a plugin, we can discuss integration
into our codebase. If you're not capable of implementing it yourself but
you really need the feature, you can probably find someone who can
implement it for you or you can even talk to our sales team to start a
co-founding if you want.

Having said that, you can always work around the need for a plugin using
a pre-script that copies all the data to another system and then backup
the data from there.

Best Regards,
Andreas

I have not used it with WebDAV but I have used rclone mount with box and google drive and point the default posix fileset to backup these fuse mounts just fine. You could try it with WebDAV https://rclone.org/webdav/
