Hello, I'm new to bacula and currently a bit confused about the operation of Bacula. I'm running Bacula on Debian/Lenny, plus some Bacula Clients (-fd) on OpenBSD. All systems are running a 2.4.4 version of the package.
First off, I have played around a bit, then tried to start over. In the process, I found a hint that I should delete the database and the *.state files, which I did. I also deleted everything (dpkg --purge) and removed all bits on the file system, including the database and the actual backup files, that I could attribute to having belonged to Bacula, but still, after re-installing, the old job records keep popping up. I'm really confused/scared about how Bacula can manage to keep the data, and would like to know what else I could do to get rid of that data. Secondly, I have to back up a number of servers, some of them being fairly similar to each other, and thus defined a number of FileSets for each type of server. I want to back up to a large disk, but would really like to not have everything in one backup file. Now I face two problems: * How do I specify that these backups go to - preferably - one file per backup run, and * how do I migrate existing data to their own backup files. The reason for asking is that I'd like to be able to shuffle around the individual backup files, and/or make copies of selected files on smaller media (eg. tapes), and to have my backup records in sync with "reality" (in the form of actual backup files that I could restore from). So far, I have also defined a number of Storage elements in the director's configuration and also the Storage server's configuration, but I don't really see how to make this kind of use of it (using "label" with a template that includes the date?). TIA! Kind regards, --Toni++ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
