Note

To create obfuscated passwords, the Bacula administrator should execute the command @encode password in bconsole and copy the result, or execute it directly via the plugin. This application is explained in section Plugin System.

Note

Alternatively to using the user credentials in the plugin line, the plugin parameter config_file allows for the creation of a file which can be used to provide all necessary options. These configuration files are plain text files containing one setting per line where the name of the setting and its value are separated by an equals sign “=”. An example configuration file could look like this:

server=rhv.example.com
user=admin
truststore_file=/opt/bacula/etc/rhvm.truststore
target_datacenters=myDatacenter
operation=backup

If a parameter is mentioned more than once, the last instance is used.
