Linux: Test Infrastructure after Installation

Now that Bacula components are installed, you can use bconsole to check that everything is working correctly:

• Run bconsole:

  /opt/bacula/bin/bconsole
  

• Check the status of the following components:

  Director

  status director
  

  File Daemon

  status client=@@client-name@@
  

  Storage Daemon

  status storage=@@storage-name@@
  

  Be sure to replace @@client-name@@ and @@storage-name@@ with the Client and Storage respectively, that you find in the Director configuration.

Run a Backup Job

You can also run a quick backup and restore using bconsole:

• Run bconsole:

/opt/bacula/bin/bconsole

• Start a backup job:

run

Follow the instructions in the menu with the numbered options, and confirm.

• Use the status command to see if the job is running or has terminated successfully:

status director

• Use the messages command to see the joblog:

messages

• Quit bconsole:

quit
