What I have to do, to use bareos bfh services

* Run the B-BMR-Prepare.sh script (to create your own bareos client confiugration [files])
* Open Ticket to activate your bfh bareos account/profile
* Do a full backup
* After these tasks: One full backup job is done and save, when is your your next bareos job scheduled?

Service configuration
=====================

To become an active bareos profile, you have to open/create a OTRS Ticket:

With some service details
configure the bareos client like below:

.. code-block:: none

   Queue: Linux
   Service: Bareos
   Protocols: Bareos Native or NMDP (Bareos Native if unsure)

   Name/Project:
   FQDN / Fully Qualified Domain Name: (for exmaple bareos-t01.itslab.bfh.ch --> FQDN for Testserver, bareos.bfh.ch --> Original FQDN)
   Size of Backup Repo:
   Schedule plan: For example (Mo 08:00, Mo 15:00, Di 12:00, Mi 21:00, So 00:00 etc.)


Activate bareos client config:

.. code-block:: none

   Copy the Bareos client config from user home to /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/client
                                                                          /jobs
                                                                          /console
.. code-block:: bash

   # Run these shell commands on the bareos director service/daemon server to activate the new config files (to add the new user)
   # Or make a new git commit

   $ cp /home/$USER/$FQDN/*-$FQDN.conf /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/jobs/.
   $ cp /home/$USER/$FQDN/$FQDN.conf /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/client/.
   $ cp /home/$USER/$FQDN/$USER.conf /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/console/.
   $ chown -R bareos:bareos /etc/bareos
   $ bconsole << EOF
     reload
     EOF

Check bareos director config, but how? --> run a backup job, and check if job was Terminated successfully

.. code-block:: none

   --> log in via website GUI https://bareos.bfh.ch/
   ---> Go to jobs -> then actions
   ----> Start the backup job, with the FQDN of your System

Control if the full backup data works::

   Go to the restore section on bareos website, choose the backup data and the restore client
   and start the job, when you have finished selecting some files to restore.


BMR
---

Bare Metal Restore with Bareos => Bareos Bare Metal Restore ==> B-BMR

With B-BMR you can restore your Bareos Client configuration from a repository, the paritition table is also safed there


Best practices
==============
RTFM until to END, follow the manual (step by step)
Or Ask the system administration team


update & upgrade
================
We recommend to run a backup of the bareos server and the bareos catalogue DB
After you can update and upgrade your bareos services daemons

.. code-block:: bash

   On the bareos.bfh.ch server
   $ sudo apt update
   $ sudo apt upgrade bareos-*

With bareos-* you will upgrade all installed bareos-daemons
You can see this list by execute this command: ``$(dpkg -l | grep bareos-*)``
