Fileset Configuration

Once the plugin is successfully authorized, it is possible to define regular filesets for backup jobs in Bacula, where we need to include a line similar to the one below, in order to invoke the Amazon EC2 Plugin:

Fileset EC2

FileSet {
   Name = FS_EC2
   Include {
      Options {
        signature = MD5
        ...
      }
      Plugin = "amazon-ec2: <amazon-ec2-parameter-1>=<amazon-ec2-value-1> <amazon-ec2-parameter-2>=<amazon-ec2-value-2> ..."
   }
}

It is strongly recommended to use only one ‘Plugin’ line in every fileset. The plugin offers the needed flexibility to combine different modules backup inside the same plugin line. Different ec2 servers, in case of existing, should be using different filesets and different jobs.

In this plugin, any parameter allowing a list of values can be assigned with a list of values separated by ‘,’.

Below, in the subsections, there are lists that present all the parameters you can use to control Amazon EC2 Plugin behavior.

• Fileset Connection Parameters
• Fileset Backup Parameters
  • Advanced Instance Filter
• Fileset Common Parameters
• Fileset Tuning Parameters
• Fileset Advanced Parameters
