Hi
I hope someone can help me with this question.
I am running:
*version
tullig-server-dir Version: 5.0.0 (26 January 2010) i686-pc-linux-gnu
ubuntu 9.10
To backup a few PC's at home. I was using bat to peruse the contents of
the incremental backups of one of these PCs this evening when I found
that, according to the bat version browser, a number of files that
really should be in the backups weren't there! Naturally I threw my
hands up in horror; if these files are missing from the backup what else
is missing.
The particular backup I was viewing was of a PC running Windows Vista
(32 bit) with the latest Bacula client on it. This PC is dedicated to
servicing an automated weather station (aws) I run so it takes data from
the aws and stores it in a number of report formats. The entire aws
software set is installed in C:\vws. Here's my FileSet definition:
FileSet {
Name = "TulligWeather"
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
compression = GZIP
}
File = "C:/vws"
}
#
# Exclude these files
#
Exclude {
File = *.exe
File = *.dll
# File = *.jpg
}
}
Under C:\vws\data there's a number of subdirectories containing text
files, things like \archive, \csv, \daily, \ globe. These all get backed
up OK. However there's also a directory C:\vws\data\noaa which contains
.txt files. There's one file for every month and an annual file. The
current month file gets written to every 5 minutes and the annual file
gets written to every hour.
So why aren't these two files being backed up as part of each daily
incremental backup?
I've not specified any Accurate settings so Bacula should be using mcs.
As the files are modified often each day, and certainly the monthly file
grows each day, I would have though mcs would have covered it nicely.
I'm very concerned now that it appears not only are these important
files not being archived; but can I trust Bacula to backup what I expect
it to backup?
