INSTALL

Steps for running Send Bacula Backup Report:

1) You need a working Bacula or Bacula Enterprise with MySQL or PostgreSQL database and a working local MTA

2) Install the required Perl modules,

On Debian/Ubuntu:

# apt-get update
# apt-get install libhtml-template-perl libmime-lite-perl
If you have a MySQL db:
# apt-get install libdbd-mysql-perl
If you have a PostgreSQL db:
# apt-get install libdbd-pg-perl

On RedHat/CentOS:

Enable the repoforge repository: http://repoforge.org/use/

# yum install perl-HTML-Template perl-MIME-Lite
If you have a MySQL db:
# yum install perl-DBD-MySQL
If you have a PostgreSQL db:
# yum install perl-DBD-Pg

3) install the program and configuration files

# cp send_bacula_backup_report.pl /etc/bacula/scripts/
# cp send_bacula_backup_report.conf.example /etc/bacula/send_bacula_backup_report.conf
# cp send_bacula_backup_report.tpl /etc/bacula/
# chmod 750 /etc/bacula/scripts/send_bacula_backup_report.pl
# chmod 640 /etc/bacula/send_bacula_backup_report.conf

4) Modify the configuration file:

# vi /etc/bacula/send_bacula_backup_report.conf

You will surely need to modify the content of that variables: db_type,db_password,bweb_path,email_from,email_to
You can define as many "$minimum_size" rules as you want, but this is optional.

5) Only if you use PostgreSQL Catalog:

# su posgres "psql bacula < /path/to/send_bacula_backup_report-src/functions-postgresql.sql"

6) Try if it works correct:

# /etc/bacula/scripts/send_bacula_backup_report.pl 1

then check you email

7) Enable daily email report via crontab, add the following lines to /etc/crontab:

# /etc/bacula/scripts/send_bacula_backup_report.pl 1

then check you email

7) Enable daily email report via crontab, add the following lines to /etc/crontab:

---
# send daily bacula backup report
15 8    * * 2-5 root    /etc/bacula/scripts/send_bacula_backup_report.pl 1 >/dev/null
15 8    * * 1   root    /etc/bacula/scripts/send_bacula_backup_report.pl 3 >/dev/null
---

This example will send a daily digest from Tuesday to Friday on the backup of the previous night. On Monday it will send a
digest on the backup of the entire week-end.
