=====Bacula 7 server on CentOS 7=====
This page describes the installation of Bacula 7 on CentOS 7 using a MariaDB backend. 

According to the change log, you can use the older file daemons from the standard repository: //"Older File Daemons should be compatible with the 7.0.0 Director and Storage daemons.  There should be no need to upgrade older File Daemons."//
====Install CentOS 7====
  * See: [[centos7_installation]].

/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h <your fqdn> password 'new-password'</code>
  * Create bacula users and groups, fd needs to run as root, so no group and user needed:<code>groupadd -g 1999 bacula

useradd -c "Bacula Storage daemon" -u 2001 -g 1999 -M -N -s /sbin/nologin bacula-sd</code>
