Re: [bareos-users] Question about BAREOS integration with Relax and Recover

[David Lawley]

Thanks for the reminder about rear

was just looking at the docs and it says

BAREOS_FILESET=Full Only if you have more than one fileset defined for
your clients backup jobs, you need to specify which to use for restore

I'll need to incorporate REAR into my plan ;)

So here is what I did to setup REAR backups:

(on bareOSdirector)
Followed this tutorial:

https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/install-samba-server-ubuntu-16-04

-----
(on webserver)
//10.0.3.10/webserver_imgbk /media/webserver_imgbk cifs credentials=/etc/samba/user,noexec 0 0
sudo mount /media/webserver_imgbk

!Install Rear

wget https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Archiving:/Backup:/Rear/Debian_8.0/amd64/rear_2.3-0_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i ./rear_2.3-0_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get -f install

sudo apt-get install genisoimage

vi /etc/rear/local.conf

# This file (local.conf) is intended for manual configuration. For configuration
# through packages and other automated means we recommend creating a new
# file named site.conf next to this file and to leave the local.conf as it is.
# Our packages will never ship with a site.conf.
BACKUP_URL=cifs://10.0.3.10/webserver_imgbk
BACKUP_OPTIONS="cred=/etc/rear/.cifs_credentials"
AUTOEXCLUDE_PATH=( /media )

vi /etc/rear/.cifs_credentials
username=sam
password=<passwd>

I am unable to take backup through rear as it throws the below error

 [dev] root@foreman:~# rear -v mkrescue

Relax-and-Recover 2.4 / Git

Using log file: /var/log/rear/rear-foreman.log

ERROR: Bareos client status unknown on director.

Aborting due to an error, check /var/log/rear/rear-foreman.log for details

Exiting rear mkrescue (PID 27517) and its descendant processes

Running exit tasks

Terminated

where i have listed clients through bconsole they are active and i can take file backups for these clients. Any pointer on this?
