Re: [Bacula-users] Backing up vmware-based virtual machines using Bacula

Yes. The shares are created on the Windows VM. The security permissions were changed to only allow administrator and bacula access. I then created entries in fstab on the Linux machine where bacula-director is running. I created mount points for each share on the Windows VM. I created a
.smbcredentials file that gets parsed by fstab for the correct credentials to mount the smb shares from Windows. The mount directories were chown'ed to the user bacula and group bacula. Verified I could read and write to the shares from the Linux server and files that were created were owned by bacula.
This is currently backing up a Windows DC, 2 x Linux servers (mail, web, Mysql, openfire, DNS etc.). I've also got the bacula-client package installed on my pfSense router/firewall. Couldn't get this to work from the web interface, so I just modified the bacula config files manually via SSH. Working great. So now if I look at the shares on the Windows vm all my backups have ran and are in their respective folders.
Hope that answered any questions.
