Hi,
I've got a couple of questions but first I would like to say that Bacula is something incredible! We are currently backing up 6 servers and the total amount of data is 295GB and the best of all Bacula is writing all this data to an AIT 3 tape which can actually, I don't know a lot about tapes but usually the info given is correct, only take 260 GB compressed and when I saw the amount of data on the tape and Bacula did not ask for a second tape, I thought oh shit the data is damaged so I restored it and to my amazement it was perfectly fine!
My question is, is it normal to take round about 13 hours to backup the data? What I mean is if you take each separate job and you compare it to the time that Ultrabac took you notice that Bacula takes 4 -5 times longer to backup the individual job. Any ideas why, DB maybe?
My second question is, would it be possible to hook Bacula up to the monitoring package, Zabbix, to send out a sms/text message every time a job succeeds/fails or can Bacula do it if you hook it up to a GPRS modem?
And then lastly, as you might come to realize my knowledge of backups is quite dangerous and I'm still learning. Can someone explain to me how did Bacula backup 295 GB to a tape that is suppose to take 260GB. 90% of the Servers are Windows Servers and very little data is text based so how in the hell did it do it without corrupting the Data???????????
To the developers.................A JOB WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
