I'm backing up data to files- not tapes. I've configured the bacula-dir.conf
to activate compression (compression=GZIP6) as follows:
<snip>
List of files to be backed up
FileSet {
Name = "Full Set"
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
aclsupport = yes
compression = GZIP6
HFS Plus Support = yes
}
#
# Put your list of files here, preceded by 'File =', one per line
# or include an external list with:
#
# File = <file-name
#
# Note: / backs up everything on the root partition.
# if you have other partitons such as /usr or /home
# you will probably want to add them too.
#
# By default this is defined to point to the Bacula build
# directory to give a reasonable FileSet to backup to
# disk storage during initial testing.
#
# File = /usr/ports/sysutils/bacula-server/work/bacula-1.36.3
File = /
File = /var
File = /data
File = /home
File = /usr
#
# If you backup the root directory, the following two excluded
# files can be useful
#
Options {
wilddir = /proc
wilddir = /tmp
wildfile = /.journal
wildfile = /.fsck
wilddir = .AppleDouble
wildfile = ".DS_Store"
wildfile = /usr/local/pgsql/bacula/bacula.sql
wilddir = /usr/local/pgsql/data/base
wildfile = /var/db/bacula/bacula.db-journal
wilddir = /usr/local/squid/cache
exclude = yes
}
}
}
<snip>
I've noted in the backup logs emailed to me that software compression is not
being used as follows:
<snip>
FD Files Written: 50,420
SD Files Written: 50,420
FD Bytes Written: 25,796,833,936 (25.79 GB)
SD Bytes Written: 25,804,119,400 (25.80 GB)
Rate: 10704.1 KB/s
Software Compression: None
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-----------
Volume name(s): Backup_aries-fd_2006-07-15_00.05.04
Volume Session Id: 1
Volume Session Time: 1152908844
<snip>
I wonder if I need to enable zip compression libraries on my FreeBSD 5.4
server. What do I need to do in order to enable it? Which port do I need to
install if any?
