Hi list,
First I must apologize if I'm asking a question that has already
answered. I have search the archives on sourceforge and couldn't get the
answer I seek.
The ultimate goal I am trying to achieve is to have this Linux debian
server backup its files onto a W2K network share. I want this to avoid
purchasing a 2nd tape drive. By backing up to the network share, my main
tape will archive the data.
So i tried to have bacula backup to a file and then have a script move
the file over to the network. Problem is, the file is over 4gigs and I
am apparently hitting a limitation of SMB. Therefore, I'd like to cut
that giant backup file into smaller chunks. I'm pretty sure it can be
done with the volume/pool/whatnot features of bacula, but after reading
extensively on the subject, I am left more confused than anything
regarding which parameter I should put where.
Could one kind soul of this list please enlighten me?
Best regards,
Laurent
you'll need to set a max volume size a bit smaller than 2 GB ...
though putting your backup onto a SMB share on a windows box doesn't
look like a good idea to me ...
also, always remember to keep a reasonably new backup off-site :-)
