The default permissions in the "/etc/bacula" folder have changed; please perform the following commands for restoring the permissions for the correct operation of the daemons. # chown -R root:root /etc/bacula # chmod 755 /etc/bacula # chmod 640 /etc/bacula/* # chgrp bacula /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf /etc/bacula/query.sql All the files that are part of the Director configuration (included with @) must of course have the same permissions as the main configuration file. ======== Documentation To see all the available documentation in both HTML and PDF formats, please install the "bacula-docs" package.
