Defining New Client Resource

Community

Edit your /opt/bacula/etc/bacula-dir.conf and add a Client Resource like:

Client {
  Name = new-client-fd # Client resource name
  Address = new.client.yourdomain # FQDN address of the client
  FDPort = 9102                   # Port used
  Catalog = MyCatalog             # Catalog used
  Password = "4m4z1ngP4ssw0rd"    # password for FileDaemon
  File Retention = 60 days        # Catalog file retention : 60 days
  Job Retention = 6 months        # Catalog Job retention : 6 months
  AutoPrune = yes                 # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}

Once added, verify the syntax with:

#/opt/bacula/bin/bacula-dir-t-u bacula-g bacula

If no errors are reported, you can reload your configuration using bconsole:

#sudo-u bacula /opt/bacula/bin/bconsole
*reload
