[fade2gray]

If you are unable to perform backups with the Webmin 'Bacula Backup System' module because of missing buttons etc. in 'Backup Jobs > Edit Backup Job', or because of an incomplete form in 'Run Backup Job', e.g. ...

Make the following edits ...

Comment out the line &close_console($h); in ...
/usr/share/webmin/bacula-backup/bacula-backup-lib.pl

# get_bacula_jobs()
# Returns a list of all jobs known to Bacula
sub get_bacula_jobs
{
local $h = &open_console();
local $jobs = &console_cmd($h, "show jobs");
# COMMENT OUT &close_console($h);
local @rv;
local $job;
foreach my $l (split(/\r?\n/, $jobs)) {
if ($l =~ /^Job:\s+name=([^=]*\S)\s/) {
$job = { 'name' => $1 };
push(@rv, $job);
}
elsif ($l =~ /Client:\s+name=([^=]*\S)\s/ && $job) {
$job->{'client'} = $1;
}
elsif ($l =~ /FileSet:\s+name=([^=]*\S)\s/ && $job) {
$job->{'fileset'} = $1;
}
}
return @rv;
}

Add the lines of code where indicated in ...

/usr/share/webmin/bacula-backup/backup_form.cgi

[...]
print &ui_table_end();
print &ui_form_end([ [ "backup", $text{'backup_ok'} ] ]);

local $h = &open_console(); # CODE ADDED
&close_console($h); # CODE ADDED

&ui_print_footer("", $text{'index_return'});

and in ...

/usr/share/webmin/bacula-backup/edit_job.cgi

[...]
else {
($bjob) = grep { $_->{'name'} eq $in{'name'} } &get_bacula_jobs();
print &ui_form_end([ [ "save", $text{'save'} ],
( $job->{'name'} eq 'Job' && $bjob ?
( [ "run", $text{'job_run'} ] ) : ( ) ),
[ "delete", $text{'delete'} ] ]);
}

local $h = &open_console(); # CODE ADDED
&close_console($h); # CODE ADDED

&ui_print_footer("list_jobs.cgi", $text{'jobs_return'});

Also, if you get an error along the lines of "bacula@localhost password=NO" when trying to run the backup job "BackupCatalog" (backup appears to complete suscessfully, but on restore produces a zero byte "bacula.sql" file), try the following edit.

Edit the line of code where indicated in ...

/etc/bacula/scripts/make_catalog_backup_awk

[...]
if (catname == cat1 || catname == cat2 || catname == cat3 || catname == cat4) {
if (dbaddress == "") #Not optional in the case of MySQL
dbaddress = "localhost"
system("rm -rf /var/lib/bacula/.my.cnf")
system("touch /var/lib/bacula/.my.cnf")
system("chmod 600 /var/lib/bacula/.my.cnf")
printf "[client]\n host=%s\n user=%s\n password=%s\n",dbaddress,user,password >> "/var/lib/bacula/.my.cnf"
if (dbport != "")
printf " port=%s\n",dbport >> "/var/lib/bacula/.my.cnf"
if (dbsocket != "")
printf " socket=%s\n",dbsocket >> "/var/lib/bacula/.my.cnf"
# CHANGE THIS system(sprintf ("mysqldump %s > /var/lib/bacula/bacula.sql",dbname))
system(sprintf ("mysqldump --defaults-file=/var/lib/bacula/.my.cnf %s > /var/lib/bacula/bacula.sql",dbname)) # FOR THIS
}
[...]

HTH.

Has this not been fixed yet? Perhaps someone should submit it as a bugfix... 1.430 was like 5 versions ago.

No matter what version Webmin is, the Bacula Backup Sytem module was donated by Linmin (http://www.linmin.com/), a Webmin supporter, who appears to no longer maintain it.

Although BBS is provided as part of the Webmin package, it is not listed as one of Webmin's "Standard Modules (http://www.webmin.com/standard.html)".
