Bacula splits the different responsibilities of the backup system
among multiple components, namely:
*
storage daemon (
`bacula::storage`
in Puppet, currently
`bungei`
)
*
director (
`bacula::director`
in Puppet, currently
`bacula-director-01`

PostgreSQL configured by hand)

file daemon (
`bacula::client`
, on all nodes)

Director (
`bacula::director`
in Puppet, currently
`bacula-director-01`

Puppet), schedules jobs and tells the storage daemon to pull files

In our configuration, the
*Admin workstation*
,
*Database server*
and
*Backup server*
are all on the same machine, the
`bacula::director`
.
Servers are interconnected over TCP connections authenticated with TLS
client certificates. Each FD, on all servers, regularly pushes backups
to the central SD. This works because the FD has a certificate
(
`/etc/ssl/torproject-auto/clientcerts/thishost.crt`
) signed by the
`auto-ca`
[
TLS certificate authority
](
howto/tls
)
(in
`/etc/ssl/torproject-auto/servercerts/ca.crt`
).
Volumes are stored in the storage daemon, in
`/srv/backups/bacula/`
. Each client stores its volumes in a separate
directory, which makes it easier to purge offline clients and evaluate
