I know that this might seem like a naïve question, but I am new to Bacula, I set it up following the instructions, and I have 5 servers backing up to a single tape drive - it is working flawlessly - I have tested restores, etc. I just want to make sure my butt is covered in case the server that contains the bacula db (using mySQL) crashes that I am backing up the right information to a different machine and/or medium than the backup.
If I backup the BSR file(s), is that sufficient to rebuild the sql db in case of disaster? Or do I also need to dump the mySQL db to a different machine. Also, should I have a different BSR for each Backup Job? Thanks in Advance for any advice Quintin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Quintin Giesbrecht Sent: April 7, 2005 9:02 AM To: Scott Herrmann; bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Bacula-users] Bootstrap Question I want to make sure that I am 100% clear here... If I back up my bootstrap file(s), even if I lose the mySQL db, I can recover my catalog from the BSR? Is that correct? Also, should I have a separate BSR file for each of my backup jobs? Thanks for your advice.
