Amazon RDS Example

In the example below, the Scan Plugin is used to detect and configure backup jobs for Amazon RDS instances via the RDS Plugin installed on the Bacula Client client-fd. Each RDS instance detected will be handled by a separate Job and Fileset. The Job directives will be defined via the JobDefs named BackupsToDisk.

/opt/bacula/working# sudo -u bacula /opt/bacula/bin/scan_plugin \
  --client client-fd \
  --plugin amazon-rds \
  --jobdefs BackupsToDisk \
  --job J_%p_%v \
  --commit_and_reload \
  --plugin_option abort_on_error \
  --plugin_option config_file=/opt/bacula/etc/amazon-rds.settings
