Infrastructure Test

Community

Now that Bacula components are installed you can run this small test to check if everything is working correctly:

sudo-u bacula /opt/bacula/bin/bconsole

Then enter the following commands:

*run job=BackupCatalog
*messages
*status dir
*quit

Example output can be expected to be similar to what we show now.
