Hello list, I would like to tell you about a problem we're having after upgrading bacula 2.2.6 to 5.0.3.
In our setup we have the main bacula server (director and storage) with a LTO3 tape drive. All jobs are done on this server using his local storage (storage1). The is also another storage daemon running on another server and configured in the director (storage2), but not used for backup jobs. The second storage (storage2) is only used for restores or in case of problems with the main bacula server. Both storage daemon have the same media type (LTO3). So to make a restore with 2.2.6, we mount the tape on the second storage (storage2) then connect to bconsole and launch the restore wizard. At the end of the wizard we choose storage2 as the storage ressources for the job en everything was fine. But now when the restore job is launched, it will always use the first storage (storage1) and fail if the tape is not mounted on that drive. It seems like a bug to me so i've browsed the bug database and found some contradictory informations : Here http://bugs.bacula.org/view.php?id=1618 , kerns says that bacula will always restores from the same storage daemon where the backup was made. If thats true now it was not the case before (because it worked in our setup). But here http://bugs.bacula.org/view.php?id=1579 ebollengier seems to think that it should work (maybe not recommended). So my question is : is this a bug in 5.0.x ? Is using one storage daemon for backup and another for restore supported at all with bacula ? If i use different mediatypes for each storage deamon, will i be able to use one for backup and the other for restore ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
