Install Bacula

Add the RPMFORGE and EPEL repos to your /etc/yum.repos.d

yum install yum-priorities

Because RPMFORGE and EPEL don't seem to play nice together, configure the yum priorities plugin so they don't conflict and put you in dependency hell.

cd /etc/yum.repos.d/

Edit each config file to set a priority level. I set my EPEL repos at priority=98, RPMFORGE repos at priority=97, and all CentOS repos at priority=1

This means at the bottom of each add priority=98

My default installation came with incorrect passwords in each of the bacula config files, so I edited each one and changed ALL of the passwords.

ls /etc/bacula

Change every password in every config file that appears in this directory.

nano bacula-dir.conf etc....

Also in bacula-sd.conf enter the path for the archive device.

eg: archive device = /path/to/directory/



Start Bacula

service bacula-dir start

service bacula-fd start

service bacula-sd start

Start the console where the fun begins
