Hi Ogee,
you say you are getting checksum errors.
This will be because you are backing up files whilst they are changing.
No backup system can cope with that.
If you use (ufs)dump for instance it will appear to work but you will still get
a corrupted file.
The good thing about bacula is that is actually TELLS you the file has changed
whilst it is being dumped.
Anyway, you should still have a file restored - but it will possibly be corrupt
just as it would be if you were using another backup system.
This is YOUR problem not a problem with bacula (or any other backup system come
to that).
You should make sure your system is "idle" before starting a backup, if you are
using Solaris try using fssnap, other OS's will possibly have similar features
to help you.
Extremists will tell you to take your system to single-user mode (init 1) -
run-level 1 before doing a backup.
If as I suspect this all means nothing to you, then I also suggest you pay
someone to set up a working backup system for you.
Best Regards

Subject: [Bacula-users] Bad story
Hello,
I would like to say, that I am very disappointed with bacula. The
design is very nice, configuration si simple and clear, management is
also good... BUT I would like to get backup from backup file for second
time and for the second time I get (from different backup file) checksum
error, it means that I can't use bacula, because it is not suitable for
production nor normal use, maybe experimental.
I am sorry about that, but it is not possible to use it, if it
cannot give me backup files anyway.
Hope, you are more lucky with using bacula!
--ogee
PS: I use bacula 1.36.(2|3) with PostgreSQL and store files to disk.
