[bareos-users] Backup Gluster volume

[Dakota Pilot]

I have a Gluster cluster that serves volumes to various systems in the network such as workstations, servers, etc. I'm planning on using Bareos to back the volumes up with glusterfind on the server using the scripts supplied with Bareos. I've gone over the Bareos and Gluster docs but still have some questions so if anyone has done this or can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

I plan to follow the instructions in this https://fossies.org/linux/bareos-Release/README.glusterfs. I'll use the Bareos script for glusterfind and set it to run on the server per the article.

However, do I need to manually create a glusterfind session on the gluster server? Normally if you use glusterfind stand alone the Gluster docs indicate you should. Does Bareos still need a session created manually or does that happen when the scripts run? Neither set of docs are clear on this.

I've installed the necessary files on the Bareos backup server so I assume the server will run the script on the client (the Gluster server) somehow. How does Bareos run scrips on the clients - through SSH or does it use some other means?

Thank you.
