PoC code to implement a Bareos commandline tool that allows to trigger common tasks from a Bareos client. bsmc stands for "Bareos simple management cli"

Implemented are show scheduler, trigger incremental backup and restore a single given file. Further the bsmc archive command backups all given filenames and directories using a predefined archive job.

Sample Calls:

bsmc restore filename
bsmc incr
bsmc query sched
bsmc archive /etc/vimrc /etc/bash.bashrc /etc/profile.d/ 

You need a config file /etc/bareos/bsmc.conf

This contains information about how to connect to the director and basic information about the client itself like fd name and jobs that are associated with this client.

Sample bsmc.conf:

[director]
server=laptop.fqhn
name=laptop-dir
password=geheim

[client]
# fd name
name=laptop-fd
jobs=BackupClient1,some,other,jobs
# this job will be used for 'bsmc archive' calls
archivejob=archive
# Used as includefile by the archivejob and will be temporarily created
# and filled by 'bsmc archive' calls
archivefilelist=/tmp/bsmc.archive

Sample configuration for an archive job to be in included in your bareos-dir.conf is here: etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/archivejob.conf
