Please don't thread hijack. I imagine this is an accident, but it makes things very confusing when the content matches some other subject line.

So I managed a bare-metal restore, but still requires either static-bacula-fd or bacula-fd with library tools. Compiling bacula-fd withis --disable-libtool gives me a "No such file or directory", which indicates that there is a missing library.

So, I know now that the issue I'm having is simply with GZIP. Bacula gives us the ability to back up directories (even "/") under GZIP, but if I try to bare-metal restore, the error is that "GZIP is not supported on this client."

Is there a way to compile static-bacula-fd with GZIP ability?

Thanks!!

Hi all,

I'm aware this must be sort of an FAQ. I just failed to find good
examples in my searches.
What I'm looking for is how others solved listing the filesystems on a
client using a client-side command that is configured on the dir.

My goal is to backup everything "local" on a system, but the standard
example of looking for i.e. mounts from hda and hdb is not good.
For the sake of an example, lets say the individual servers could be
running FreeBSD or Linux and could be using udev to rename their
disks, or could be attaching more using iSCSI.
One idea I can think of is using a list of filesystem types that matter.
That way you can handle most things and also exclude cluster
filesystems like ocfs2 that should best be backed up with a different
job and separate fd.

On the other hand this idea might break if someone uses an esoteric
zbcdfs which i'm not expecting in my list of good filesystems.

How have you gone about solving this?
