How to create a support ticket with email?

Usage

A support ticket can be created by sending an email to servicedesk@bareos.com

Subject
The subject field should only be used for a brief description (one sentence) of the issue. (Formatting is not possible.)
You can add a priority keyword like [low,normal,high,urgent]
  • Low  (Question, unknown message)
  • Normal  (Verification restore job not working, unexplained error messages)
  • High (Backup not working, Director crashing, ...)
  • Urgent (Important restore not working)

Body message

In the mail body we ask you to provide a detailed problem description.
  • Component
  • Version
  • Step to reproduce
  • Configuration used
Use our shell script bareos-support-info.sh to gather useful information for a support case.

Please use the "select attachment" option to attach the result of bareos-support-info.sh, additional configuration files, log files or screenshots to the ticket.
