Hi, I had two "options" blocks in my fileset, the first containing the compression setting, the second containing the excluded file extensions. This didn't work (the first one was silently ignored), so I did another fresh start. dpkg-reconfigure bacula-director-mysql didn't create a new database, but: apt-get remove bacula-director-mysql apt-get install bacula-director-mysql did the trick, and didn't overwrite my existing bacula-dir.conf One other problem I had was that the catalog backup jobs never contained any data. I added write permissions for the working directory (don't know if this was really needed) and changed the parameters for make_catalog_backup from "-u<user> -p<passw>" into "-uroot". it now creates the copy of the catalog and makes a backup of that. I now have separate pools and volumes for the full and incremental backup, and don't do any differential backups. full backup every 3 month, and incremental every hour (during work hours). the full backup volumes are used once and the incremental volumes for 3 month. All volumes are of the file type, and are created using auto labeling. About 50 GB of data is backed up this way. I made separate pools and volumes for each client, so changes to the fileset don't cause a full backup on all the clients and allows for more flexibility in the scheduling and volume purging. It's all looking very nice now. Jaap. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
