Hello, I think this is a common question but i didnt found a proper answear in the documentenation, if there is already one please let me know :)
So we have now successfully set up our Bacula Servers and everything is now running more or less... But we have some questions: 1) do we really need to spool? We are not writing to real tapes, we have a filesystem as backend (ext3 over glusterfs). 2) should we backup our whole system or just our data? I heard several concepts what we really should backup... Because if we have lost our server and the database isnt restorable, we cant restore the whole system, because file attrs are lost and every file will get 664 or something like that... Also I heard that a restore of the whole system is very slow, we should install a fresh debian, install our packages and restore our data. actually we have arround 80GB of Full backup (takes arround 17h) and 10GB incremental (takes arround 2-3h). If we only backup the real data it would be much lesser... thanks in advance! sebastian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.
