			If you change a .conf file, the appropriate daemon needs to be restarted so it will load the modified file:
			* [[bacula-director]] orchestrates the backup processes
			* [[bacula-fd]] is the file daemon -- handles reading (for backup) and writing (for restore) of files in their normal format
			* [[bacula-sd]] is the storage daemon -- handles reading/writing of files in their archived format

			Any given system running or using bacula will have one or more of these, but not necessarily all of them.

===Woozle says===
I'm damned if I can figure out how to get this thing to run. "bat" can't connect to localhost because "bacula-director" won't run; bacula-director won't run because /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf hasn't been set up, which requires jobs to be created. I can't create jobs because I can't get any of the console tools to run (bat, bconsole, etc.) because bacula-director isn't running. Are you supposed to manually enter job information, or what? Where is this explained?

Sophisticated tools with lame interfaces tick me off. There should be a program you run which lets you set things up through a GUI, or at least an interactive process where you don't have to understand the arcane requirements of some application's conf file. (Also the fact that it apparently has its own open-but-unique storage format seems kind of stupid; what is the benefit?) --[[User:Woozle|Woozle]] 11:09, 24 February 2009 (EST)
