Using rear.

[Yariv Hazan]

Hi,

Trying to configure client for DR with rear following this guide https://docs.bareos.org/Appendix/DisasterRecoveryUsingBareos.html.

Client is being backed up with no issues.

After completed configuration and running rear -v mkrescue I get this error: Director not configured in bconsole see complete rear log below.

1. Do I need to have director installed/configured on the client?
2. Is this maybe related to client be passive?

Hi,

you have to configure ther director in bconsole.conf.

Like this:

#
# Bareos User Agent (or Console) Configuration File
#
Director {
    Name = bareos-dir
    address = xx.xx.xx.xx
    Password = "secret"
    Description = "Bareos Console credentials for local Director"
}

Greetings

Juergen

Rear may need a fix as in Bareos release 22 with new cli11 only options with a single letter can be used with a single dash (-) 

so previously -xc -xs -dt become now --xc --xs --dt 

In case to be reported upstream (rear)

[Yariv Hazan]

No, I was not sure director is needed on the client end, is it needed?

[Bruno Friedmann (bruno-at-bareos)]

a director ressource is mandatory to make bareos-fd able to know who is connecting.

rear is also using bconsole, which also need a director ressource to connect to.

but of course that doesn't mean bareos-director component has to be installed, this is 2 separated things.

[Yariv Hazan]

According to the error it seems the director is required to be installed on the client side when using rear, right?
The client is backed up with no issues without the director being installed, only rear does not work.

[Yariv Hazan]

In any case the file is there and configured (by default?), so I guess the error is due to the single letter -x switches?
