I'm performing tests of backup/restore using Bacula.
The software is fantastic and was working better than my current solution "Arcserve".
Two days ago, I tried a test of backup/restore of one special server. This server store half a million pdf files in one directory ! The file name structure is the following (Without "):
"XXX1111111 XXX9999XXX 00 00000002 ".pdf
All files have 52 characters. Usually the only difference between them are the positions 4-10 and 51 (The numbers 1 and 2 above).
The backup worked without problems. But when I tried the restore operation my problem began.
From the restore command until the tree prompt it took 13 hours !
I did some research on the list mail archive and found some discussion about the same problem one year ago . I found two solutions. The first solution was to check the mysql index. I checked all of them and they looked fine. the second solution was a code change, Reinier Haasjes suggested the problem is in the binary search ( http://www.mail-archive.com/bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg03358.html ) and recommended another index library. I can't do that !
I would like some ideas to implement a workaround for this problem.
The only solution I found until now, was backup that server using a special Pool with the parameter Catalog Files = no.
I'm trying a restore using bextract with an exclude list but after two hours nothing happend yet. (Message "Reading...").
My environment is:
Pentium III - 550 Mhz
1 Gb Memory
3 disk concat total 450gb
1 Tape SDLT
Bacula 1.38.11
Director + Storage in the same server
Linux Fedora Core 4
Mysql 5.0.24
thanks in advance,
Lima
