Hi everyone,

I have a Samba server on CentOS 5.2 that I would like to and some backup service to, I have been trying to install Bacula, because I want to backup MS machines too, and there is a web GUI. But when searching around i google I get a bit confused. about what packages I need.

Has anyone got bacula running on Centos or maybe guide in the right direction.

---- sure a bunch of us...

CentOS 5, download from here...(install only EL5 packages that apply)

Server you would probably want bacula-mysql, bacula-bat, possibly bacula-mtx and possibly bacula-gconsole or bacula-wxconsole

Any CentOS clients would only need the bacula-client

Windows client, download from here...

You might want to look at backkuppc as an alternative if you are mostly backing up to disk and accessing it online. The linking and compression scheme it uses will keep a larger history in less space.
