# How to use the Baculum web interface Baculum is the web interface for Bacula. The Bacula server charm manages and installs Baculum along with other Bacula server components, which you can access using the URL `http://:9095/web/`. ## Obtain a Baculum credential Run the `create-web-user` Juju action on the `bacula-server` charm to create a new login credential for Baculum. You can choose any username; in this example, `admin` is used. ```default juju run bacula-server/leader create-web-user username=admin ``` ## Navigate the list of connected `bacula-fd` charms `http://:9095/web/client/` displays a list of all Bacula clients that are connected to the Bacula server. The client named `charm-bacula-fd` is the Bacula file daemon installed on the Bacula server; it usually serves as a placeholder in configuration files and has no other use. All clients that start with `relation-` are `bacula-fd` charms connected to the Bacula server. Each of their names has the format `relation----fd`, which you can use to identify the location of the `bacula-fd` charm. Clicking the “Details” button in the client list navigates to the client detail page, where you can click the “Status client” button to verify the client connection. ## Perform a manual backup `http://:9095/web/job/` displays a list of backup and restore jobs the charm has created for all backup clients. The naming format is similar to the client name, except that backup jobs have the `-backup` suffix and restore jobs have the `-restore` suffix. The Bacula server charm performs backups automatically based on the schedule configured in each `bacula-fd` charm. To perform an ad-hoc backup, click the “Details” button for the backup job in the job list. Then click the “Run job” button on the job details page, and click the “Run job” button in the popup window. It is advised not to modify any default settings in the popup window unless you are certain of the required changes. ## Perform a restore `http://:9095/web/restore/` provides the restore wizard, which is an interactive way of setting up a restoration. ### Step 1 - Select source backup client Select the backup client that owns the backup you want to restore from. ### Step 2 - Select backup to restore Select the version of the backup you want to restore. ### Step 3 - Select files to restore Select the files you want to restore. It is advised to select all files in the backup. ### Step 4 - Select destination for restore Select the destination for the restore. It’s important to change the “Restore to directory:” setting to “/”, which restores files to their original locations. This is required for the backup charm to function correctly. ### Step 5 - Options for restore Select the destination client that the files need to be restored to by choosing the corresponding restore job. ### Step 6 - Finish Click “Run restore” to start the restoration. The restoration time can vary depending on the backup size and network connectivity.
