Thanks to the previous list contributors who helped get me up and running on Bacula 2.x- we've been using it for about a month, and outside of some performance issues, I'm mostly happy with it. However, I have a few questions:
1) Since we're backing up > 1Tb of data in a complete set of full backups, I've converted the mysql File table to InnoDB; however, it also seems like the Path and Filename tables could use some optimization as well. Should these also be InnoDB? 2) bweb- When adding an autochanger into bweb, it references a Location object (nowhere else in the Bacula documentation references such an object)- my attempts to create a Location object have failed (although I can interact with the DB just fine with other actions), and I'm also not sure what the Cost field is referencing since the autochanger and drives are local (and you can't put 0 in that field). Can I just manually insert the Autochanger into mysql to get around this? I'm running 2.0.2 of the gui as well (built from source on debian etch running a 2.6.18 kernel). 3) brestore- I've also been trying to get this tied into bweb to no avail. Is the text/brestore MIME type supposed to be defined using mod_action in Apache? Does the brestore.pl script have to be run everyday after a DB backup in order to be usable? 4) I've noticed a number of references on this list before to a certain autochanger drive getting stuck where it thinks a tape needs to be mounted, but actually is mounted (then requests manual intervention). The only way I can free that drive up is to restart the bacula-sd daemon. Can there be a console command in a future version to mark a drive as disabled without having to restart one or more daemons? If I cancel the job and requeue it, it will run on another drive with the same tape without a problem...but if that's the only drive not currently running a job, it will continue to get stuck. If I can offer up any logs/conf files as help in tracking down this problem, I'm all for it- I can minimize the chance of it happening if I restart all daemons and re-run update slots every day before incr. backups kick off, but for our full backups that run on weekends, typically one of the drives ends up locked shortly after the first 20+ hours. Thanks for any help you can provide. -Justin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
