This is less of an issue and more of a question

chumunga commented 1 year ago

Is there a complete documentation some where? There is no mention of how to configure backup, do i configure the client /etc/rear/local.conf

or do i configure the backup from the server (DRLM) /etc/drlm/client/client_name.conf? and if so, how do even change the backup location?

Hi @chumunga,

Is there a complete documentation some where?

https://www.drlm.org

There is no mention of how to configure backup, do i configure the client /etc/rear/local.conf or do i configure the backup from the server (DRLM) /etc/drlm/client/client_name.conf?

The client config is automatically generated when a client is added to drlm server. This configuration is stored at /etc/drlm/client/client_name.conf and generates by default a rsync backup with an iso rescue image. The backup files are stored at /var/lib/drlm of DRLM server. You can also have multiple configurations per client, like /etc/drlm/client/client_name.conf.d/config_name.cfg, and then run this configurations specifying it at runbackup command (ex. drlm runbackup -c client_name -C config_name)

and if so, how do even change the backup location?

DRLM clients (ReaR) backups are stored by default in "/var/lib/drlm/arch" of DRLM server root. You can change it at /etc/drlm/local.conf variables

# DRLM STORAGE LOCATIONS #
STORDIR=$VAR_DIR/store
ARCHDIR=$VAR_DIR/arch

You can find more costumizable vars at /usr/share/drlm/conf/default.conf

Regards,

Thank you,

for STOREDIR & ARCHDIR will this accept UNC paths //someserver/folder

Also, is there a way to reset or regenerate local.conf I definitely botched mine.

My /var/lib/drlm/arch is empty

And finally, i tried using the link on from the homepage to go to the google forum and received error 503 is that still a thing?

Version: [root@sysmon-vm ~]# yum list installed | grep drlm drlm.noarch 2.4.3-1git.el7 @/drlm-2.4.3-1git.el7.noarch

Hi @chumunga,

for STOREDIR & ARCHDIR will this accept UNC paths //someserver/folder The way to store backups in a remote site is mounting the someserver/folder in the DRLM server filesystem and then make that STOREDIR & ARCHDIR point there.
Also, is there a way to reset or regenerate local.conf I definitely botched mine. Yes, the way is running "drlm instclient -c client_name" this will reinstall all client packages and reset configurations. If you don't want to reintall packages you can run "drlm instclient -c client_name -C" an only configurations will be done. (https://drlm-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/client_opers.html#install-client)
My /var/lib/drlm/arch is empty Maybe you haven't done a successful runbackup yet?
And finally, i tried using the link on from the homepage to go to the google forum and received error 503 is that still a thing? True! we'll take a look, there's a problem accessing to the public group. Thank you for warning!
