Hi - I think I will stick my neck out a bit and make an offer to see if there is any interest in Bacula. (maybe I can give back a bit to openSuSE for all it has done for me over the years..) I just spent quite a bit of effort getting Bacula 7.4 up an running on all my openSuSE Leap 42.2 systems and so far it now seems to be working pretty well. (I am using it with the MySQL/MariaDB database and make no claims on how to set it up for other databases.) I noted that Bacula no longer seems to be supported in the openSuSE distribution (dunno why, probably lack of interest or time to maintain it?) So, if there is any interest in it, and if some kind guru wants to help guide me along the path, I would be willing to share what it took to get it working and/or perhaps put it in a repository somewhere so that others could use it as well. Caveats however - I have absolutely no idea how, nor have I ever done anything like put together a package for software, so I am a complete novice in that regards. I did not make any modifications to the actual code for Bacula, nor did I have to build it from source, but I did have to add/modify a number of the scripts and config files associated with it to get it to work. I have it running as systemd services and think I kept it pretty much configured/installed on my systems in the openSuSE way of doing things, but again that might require some verification from an openSuSE guru because I do not claim to be any sort of expert on how openSuSE designers want to model/organize software. Also, I am doing disk based backups over a network and have not tested or done anything with tape drives so cannot speak to that. And I mostly use the monkey see monkey do approach and rely on some blind luck at times! ;-) FYI - I started with the bacula rpm package I found at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/j-engel/openSUSE_Leap_42.2/x... Any interest/takers? How should I proceed? Marc.... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
