well, ive made some pretty fair progress. ive got to where i can get the job to start... but it wont move. for my first test example, im trying to get my dev server to back itself up. this is the message im getting: *messages 06-Jan 15:38 fbsd62-1-dir: Start Backup JobId 2, Job=Client1.2007-01-06_15.38.53 06-Jan 15:38 fbsd62-1-sd: Job Client1.2007-01-06_15.38.53 waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes. Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for: Storage: "FileStorage" (/usr/backups) Media type: File Pool: Default in the file definition, ive specified the /, and added /usr/backups to the omitted files. as ive mentioned before, im trying to set up bacula to only backup to files. my current backup server has: 108GB drive for incrementals/cumulative 550GB drive for full backups 270GB drive for monthly backups i keep incrementals for 6 weeks, fulls for 2 months, and montly for 3 months (thats all the space i can hold for monthlys, for now). somehow when i migrate this windows server to FreeBSD/Bacula, ill need to effectively use these disks based on how much data i backup and how long its retained (i backup about 90 GB on full jobs, sometimes 3-5GB on dailies). anyway, can anyone point me in the right direction ? cheers, jonathan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
