Web interface or GUI Configuration
What is Bacula-web?
Bacula-web is a php based web program that provides you a
summarized output of jobs that have already run. It obtains its
information from your Bacula catalog database. Aside from a nice
graphical display, it provides summaries of your jobs, as well
as graphs of job usage. This is a fairly high level Bacula
management tool.

You must have PHP installed and working with your web server. We

The following packages should be installed or
configured as part of PHP.

Now you need to give the write access to the required config
file.
After installing all these we need to enable gd and mysql
