======== PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite databases
|
|
|
6d394f |
|
|
|
6d394f |
Bacula director supports different databases backends, if you want to switch
|
|
|
6d394f |
away from the default PostgreSQL one you need to change the "libbaccats" (the
|
|
|
6d394f |
catalogue library) symlink to the real library.
|
|
|
6d394f |
|
|
|
6d394f |
To change to a different backend, issue the following command:
|
|
|
6d394f |
|
|
|
6d394f |
# alternatives --config libbaccats.so
|
|
|
6d394f |
|
|
|
6d394f |
There are 3 programs which provide 'libbaccats.so'.

6d394f |
There is NO need to edit any part in the Bacula Director configuration; for the
|
|
|
6d394f |
purposes of the database creation steps, the bacula-dir.conf configuration file
|
|
|
6d394f |
can be left at their default values.
|
|
|
6d394f |
|
|
|
6d394f |
======== Switiching between PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite backends
|
|
|
6d394f |
|
|
|
6d394f |
To switch the configured backend to another one, follow the above procedure.
|
|
|
6d394f |
Again, there's no need to edit the Bacula Director configuration file; the
|
|
|
6d394f |
catalog resource can be left as is.
|
|
|
6d394f |
|
|
|
6d394f |
Importing and exporting data between the various database formats is up to the
|
|
|
6d394f |
user. If the database will be re-initialized from scratch, follow the quick
|
|
|
6d394f |
start guides mentioned above.

======== Upgrading from old Redhat releases
|
|
|
6d394f |
|
|
|
6d394f |
When upgrading from old Redhat releases, the "bacula-libs-sql" package takes
|
|
|
6d394f |
care of making the appropriate selection for the database backend based on what
|
|
|
6d394f |
was previously configured on the old system.
|
|
|
6d394f |
|
|
|
6d394f |
The default permissions in the "/etc/bacula" folder have changed; please perform
|
|
|
6d394f |
the following commands for restoring the permissions for the correct operation
|
|
|
6d394f |
of the daemons.
|
|
|
6d394f |
|
|
|
6d394f |
# chown -R root:root /etc/bacula
|
|
|
6d394f |
# chmod 755 /etc/bacula
|
|
|
6d394f |
# chmod 640 /etc/bacula/*
|
|
|
6d394f |
# chgrp bacula /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf /etc/bacula/query.sql
|
|
|
6d394f |
|
|
|
6d394f |
All the files that are part of the Director configuration (included with @) must
|
|
|
6d394f |
of course have the same permissions as the main configuration file.
