Hi all,
we startet using Bacula with a Neo400 ( incl. 2 LTO6 Drives ) for backup. Although we have quit big amounts of data to backup the job should be pretty simple since mostly it just needs to copy the files to tapes for an off-site backup. Since we are using a zfs as file system bacula has a relaxed time window of one week for the backup. But we have one important point that is One Job per Volume ( so we can take the tapes easily off site and back ). After some interesting experiences with "purge jobs" our full backup as base for the incremental was finally done: Build OS: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu redhat JobId: 65 Job: IncrementalToRevolver02a.2014-07-18_14.10.42_13 Backup Level: Full (upgraded from Incremental) Client: "shelfspace-fd" 7.0.3 (12May14) x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu,redhat, FileSet: "NoahSet_A" 2014-07-11 16:47:40 Pool: "Revolver02-Full" (From Job FullPool override) Catalog: "MyCatalog" (From Client resource) Storage: "Neo400" (From Pool resource) Scheduled time: 18-Jul-2014 14:10:42 Start time: 18-Jul-2014 14:10:42 End time: 24-Jul-2014 07:21:14 Elapsed time: 5 days 17 hours 10 mins 32 secs Priority: 10 FD Files Written: 11,719,314 SD Files Written: 11,719,314 FD Bytes Written: 24,262,705,996,248 (24.26 TB) SD Bytes Written: 24,265,651,316,062 (24.26 TB) Rate: 49131.5 KB/s Software Compression: None VSS: no Encryption: no Accurate: no Volume name(s): RB0104L6|RB0101L6|RB0110L6|RB0107L6|RB0219L6|RB0112L6|RB0109L6|RB0216L6|RB0211L6|RB0210L6|RB0208L6|RB0218L6 Volume Session Id: 14 Volume Session Time: 1405092165 Last Volume Bytes: 2,628,260,877,312 (2.628 TB) Non-fatal FD errors: 2 SD Errors: 0 FD termination status: OK SD termination status: OK Termination: Backup OK -- with warnings And for the Second Drive: 20-Jul 05:41 shelfspace-dir JobId 66: Bacula shelfspace-dir 7.0.3 (12May14): Build OS: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu redhat JobId: 66 Job: IncrementalToRevolver02b.2014-07-18_14.10.42_14 Backup Level: Full (upgraded from Incremental) Client: "shelfspace-fd" 7.0.3 (12May14) x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu,redhat, FileSet: "NoahSet_B" 2014-07-11 16:47:40 Pool: "Revolver02-Full" (From Job FullPool override) Catalog: "MyCatalog" (From Client resource) Storage: "Neo400" (From Pool resource) Scheduled time: 18-Jul-2014 14:10:42 Start time: 18-Jul-2014 14:10:46 End time: 20-Jul-2014 05:41:43 Elapsed time: 1 day 15 hours 30 mins 57 secs Priority: 10 FD Files Written: 1,719,165 SD Files Written: 1,719,165 FD Bytes Written: 6,878,789,531,036 (6.878 TB) SD Bytes Written: 6,879,192,891,412 (6.879 TB) Rate: 48354.7 KB/s Software Compression: None VSS: no Encryption: no Accurate: no Volume name(s): RB0101L6|RB0110L6|RB0107L6|RB0219L6|RB0112L6 Volume Session Id: 15 Volume Session Time: 1405092165 Last Volume Bytes: 1,699,995,386,880 (1.699 TB) Non-fatal FD errors: 0 SD Errors: 0 FD termination status: OK SD termination status: OK Termination: Backup OK There are on average ~ 2.8TB on every tape. Also when I query the jobs for a tape I get two jobid 66 and 65 as result. But when I get the details for the Volume via e.g. llist volume=RB0101L6 it says there is only one job on the volume and ther should be only one job on the volume ... as far as I understand: *llist volume=RB0101L6 Automatically selected Catalog: MyCatalog Using Catalog "MyCatalog" MediaId: 20 VolumeName: RB0101L6 Slot: 21 PoolId: 9 MediaType: LTO-6 FirstWritten: 2014-07-18 14:13:27 LastWritten: 2014-07-18 21:30:03 LabelDate: 2014-07-18 14:10:46 VolJobs: 1 VolFiles: 160 VolBlocks: 49,609,582 VolMounts: 2 VolBytes: 3,200,413,418,496 VolErrors: 0 VolWrites: 50,849,663 VolCapacityBytes: 0 VolStatus: Used Enabled: 1 Recycle: 1 VolRetention: 3,024,000 VolUseDuration: 0 MaxVolJobs: 1 MaxVolFiles: 0 MaxVolBytes: 0 InChanger: 1 EndFile: 160 EndBlock: 6,541 VolParts: 0 LabelType: 0 StorageId: 2 DeviceId: 0 LocationId: 0 RecycleCount: 1 InitialWrite: 0000-00-00 00:00:00 ScratchPoolId: 0 RecyclePoolId: 2 ActionOnPurge: 0 Comment: NULL Every Pool has the Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 set. I'll admit we are doing lot of experimenting and purging but this option has always been set. In total the amount of data wirtten to the Tapes / Job Size is matching ... more or less. But there are just to many Volumes per Job... I am a little clueless here ... I would appreciate any hints.
