bacula Testing

If using mysql as databes, install:
bacula-bat (graphical interface)
bacula-console
bacula-dir-mysql
bacula-fd
bacula-sd

If you applied a password to your mysql database (the strongly recommanded way) using mcc from a root shell, you can see these messages in the shell:
*********
Hmm, doesn't look like you have an existing database.
Creating MySQL bacula database...
Creating bacula tables...
Granting privileges for MySQL user bacula...
automatic database creation failed!
see log file /var/lib/bacula/rpm_db.log
if this is the first bacula installation
please check and run the following scripts:
        /usr/lib64/bacula/create_bacula_database
        /usr/lib64/bacula/make_bacula_tables
        /usr/lib64/bacula/grant_bacula_privileges
else manually update the database to version 14 using the scripts:
        /usr/lib64/bacula/update_mysql_tables_X_to_Y
and:
        /usr/lib64/bacula/update_bacula_tables
        
*********

Now run these scripts manually in the same sequence and add the option -p (for password)
use the mysql root password

# /usr/lib64/bacula/create_bacula_database -p
Enter password: 
Creation of bacula database succeeded

The next one will take a little while:
# /usr/lib64/bacula/make_bacula_tables -p
Enter password: 
Creation of Bacula MySQL tables succeeded.


#  /usr/lib64/bacula/grant_bacula_privileges -p
Enter password: 
(you'll get lots of output)
Privileges for user bacula granted on database bacula.

This is it.
Now you either need to reboot or better start the daemons:
# systemctl start bacula-dir
# systemctl start bacula-sd
# systemctl start bacula-fd

You can now run some check:
in a shell as root, type <bconsole>

You should see this reply:
Connecting to Director localhost:9101
1000 OK: localhost-dir Version: 5.2.13 (19 February 2013)
Enter a period to cancel a command.

now you can enter some commands as shown on some how-tos such as:
http://www.lucasmanual.com/mywiki/Bacula

Please be aware the how-to shows results as if bacula already run a job.

There is a little change you need to make to the /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf in order to have bacula automatically add names to the backup volumes

Section: 
# File Pool definition
add this line
LabelFormat = "Vol"

(or whatever you prefer)

don't forget the run systemctl restart baula-dir after making a change to the config file.
now quit bconsole by typing quit
try that gui admin interface by either typing bat as root in a shell or go the usual graphic way, start> tools >system tools >Bacula Administration Tool (QT)

Try to do a backup (a decent set has been already configured for testing purposes)
Be patient, it will take a short while to do the backup
Try the other Icons.


Let me know if I missed anything or made mistakes.
