Hi all, I have the following scenario: - Master site with all infrastructure, Bacula server running - Remote site with 2 desktops and 1 server (with only ~3GB available, running bacula-fd 2.4.2, soon to be upgraded to 3.0.1) that need to be backed up, linked via VPN over residential-grade cable modem (latency issues, intermittent connectivity drops)
My weekly full backups run ~3GB per host. I've been running Bacula over the VPN (direct from remote FD to SD at master site) for the past few months, but I often have to restart the jobs, and it messes things up when the remote jobs hang indefinitely. Ideally, I'd use some sort of caching system. Given that such a thing (AFAIK) doesn't exist for Bacula, my current working theory is to run a bacula-dir and -sd at the remote site just for that site's backups, and then somehow push them to the main site. Any theories on how to do this? Alternatively (and I guess this should be my first step), does anyone have recommendations for configuration for running some jobs over a (relatively) slow link to a remote site? My main issues seem to be jobs ending in error state (as far as I can find in the docs, Bacula doesn't have an option to keep rescheduling a job until it runs successfully) and jobs hanging indefinitely, thereby blocking everything else. Any suggestions?
