Bacula Configuration Recovery

When using Bacula Enterprise packages, everything needed to run and configure Bacula is located under /opt/bacula. Installing basic dependencies such as PostgreSQL or MySQL client library (using Bacula Systems RPMs), and restoring this directory on a new server means that you can start a new Bacula very quickly. This technique can be used to restore your Director as explained in the Director Recovery section. The following Fileset can be used for this purpose:

Fileset {
  Name = "BACULA_DATA"
  Include {
    Options { signature = MD5 }
    File = /opt/bacula
    File = /etc
  }
  Exclude {
    File = /opt/bacula/working
  }
}

If you have special Linux configuration such as network parameters or system tuning, restoring /etc should cover almost everything.
