Bareos is an open-source backup solution that enables you to backup your data and recover it in case of data loss. In this tutorial, we will provide you with the steps to install Bareos on Clear Linux Latest operating system.
Before we start the installation process, make sure to have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to download and install the Bareos repository on your Clear Linux system using the following command:
$ sudo swupd bundle-add bareos-client
Also, install any other server or client packages you may need using the above command. For example:
$ sudo swupd bundle-add bareos-server
Once you have installed the Bareos repository, run the following command to install the necessary packages:
$ sudo swupd bundle-add bareos
This command will install all the necessary packages required for Bareos installation.
After installing the packages, the next step is to configure the Bareos software. You can do this by editing the configuration files located in /etc/bareos directory. For example:
$ sudo vi /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.conf
$ sudo vi /etc/bareos/bconsole.conf
You can customize the configuration files according to your requirements.
Once you have configured the Bareos software, you need to start the Bareos services and enable them to start at boot time. To do this, run the following commands:
$ sudo systemctl start bareos-dir
$ sudo systemctl enable bareos-dir
$ sudo systemctl start bareos-sd
$ sudo systemctl enable bareos-sd
$ sudo systemctl start bareos-fd
$ sudo systemctl enable bareos-fd
This will start the Bareos services and enable them to start at boot time.
In this tutorial, we have shown you the steps to download, install, configure and start Bareos on your Clear Linux Latest system. If you need more information, you can refer to the Bareos documentation on their website.
