I am using this configuration with windows 8, didn't change it any when
I updated from windows 7. Both Pro x64, I haven't ran one on home
version.
Note below, I have two Disk drives setup, C: and J:, J: is a software
iSCSI drive in this setup, it does run a little slow, about 5MB/s but I
am using gzip, and drive J: contains VMware virtual machines, which
compress around 62% which accounts for the sluggishness. Make sure you
install the 64bit version of the software or VSS will not work, also the
installer will likely fail to properly generate the configuration files,
in my case the director configuration on the monitor part had blank
values, which caused the service to fail to start. Obviously below my
passwords have been removed, so make sure you put some real data in
those if you copy and modify my configuration.
Runs fairly well, but VSS seems to fail causing the backup to fail
every three to four days.
Server Client Configuration:
Client {
Name = workstation-fd
Password = ...
Address = workstation.dweimer.local
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
AutoPrune = yes
File Retention = 20 days
Job Retention = 20 days
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 4
}
FileSet {
Name = Workstation
Enable VSS = Yes
Ignore FileSet Changes = Yes
Include {
File = "C:/"
File = "J:/"
Options {
signature = MD5
Compression = GZIP5
OneFS = yes
Accurate = yes
}
}
Exclude {
File = "*$RECYCLE.BIN"
File = "*$Recycle.Bin"
File = "*:/Temp"
File = "*:/Windows/Temp"
File = "*:/hiberfil.sys"
File = "*:/pagefile.sys"
File = "*:/System Volume Information"
File = "*:/*.vmem"
}
}
Job {
Name = Workstation
JobDefs = DefaultJob
Client = workstation-fd
FileSet = Workstation
Schedule = WeeklyCycle
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 4
}
PC File Daemon Configuration:
FileDaemon {
Name = workstation-fd
FDport = 9102
WorkingDirectory = "C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working"
Pid Directory = "C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working"
Plugin Directory = "C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\plugins"
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
}
Director {
Name = bacula-dir
Password = "..."
}
Director {
Name = bacula-mon
Password = "..."
Monitor = yes
}
Messages {
Name = Standard
director = bacula-dir = all, !skipped, !restored
}
