update-rc.d bacula-fd enable
update-rc.d bacula-director enable

Linux server: Bellman

Bellman has an NVME drive (500GB) and an SSD (240GB) It's used for docker machines so I need to think about them.

Windows Desktop: Murre

Laysan has one SSD for the OS and one data drive.

I have a partition with Windows 8.1 in it... I should probably think about backing it up sometime but right now I just don't care because I have not used it for anything.

Mondo is a simple fast way to create a bootable DVD on Laysan.

Add the repo, add the packages

echo > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mondorescue.sources.list \
"deb ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/debian 7 contrib"
apt-get update
apt-get install mondo

Run mondoarchive as root.

When prompted for what to ignore, enter /var/swapfile1|/home This will create a bootable DVD that can restore the SSD.

Tern

Tern is a very stripped down Linux box with an SSD and RAID 0 pair of 2TB drives.

Macs: Plover, Stellar, Swift
