python-bareos Module

python-bareos is a Python module to access a Bareos backup system.

Packages for python-bareos are included in the Bareos core distribution and available via https://pypi.org/project/python-bareos/.

The main functionality is to access a Bareos Director via its console interface. This is the same interface as used by the bconsole command line tool or the Bareos WebUI.

This module is not intended for Bareos Python plugins. Bareos plugins run inside the Bareos daemons, while this module connects to the Bareos Daemon constrol interfaces.

The relevant classes are:

bareos.bsock.directorconsole.DirectorConsole

bareos.bsock.directorconsolejson.DirectorConsoleJson

Example:

>>> import bareos
>>> directorconsole=bareos.bsock.DirectorConsole(address='localhost', port=9101, name='user1', password='secret')
>>> print(directorconsole.call('help').decode("utf-8"))

If you want to create a command line tool, the examples in https://github.com/bareos/bareos/blob/master/python-bareos/bin/ might be useful.
