Hi, Currently, I'm not a user of bacula and I'm only reading the documentation in order to determine which backup solution I will choose.
I'm planning to set a backup for my personal computer, no server in schedule at the moment. A simple solution could be enough and not too expensive in time. I was interested in bacula with SQLite, but looks unreliable according to documentation. Please find below, some remaining questions / feedbacks after reading of documentation: http://www.bacula.org/7.4.x-manuals/en/main/Installing_Bacula.html Building Bacula from Source ... SQLite is not supported on Solaris. This is because it frequently fails with bus errors. However SQLite3 may work. ... What Database to Use? ... However, we should note that a number of users have had unexplained database corruption with SQLite. ... -with-sqlite3=sqlite3-path This enables use of the SQLite version 3.x database. The sqlite3-path is not normally specified as Bacula looks for the necessary components in a standard location (depkgs/sqlite3). See Installing and Configuring SQLiteSqlLiteChapter chapter of this manual for more details. SQLite3 is not supported on Solaris. 1/ I didn't find the SQLite Chapter, Is it possible to update documentation in order to set a link or update formulation ? http://www.bacula.org/7.4.x-manuals/en/main/Installing_Configuring_SQLi.html PRAGMA synchronous=OFF 2/ I found that page. Is that option the possible source of sqlite unreliability ? 3/ I have some difficulties to determine the current status for SQLite and SQLite3 Sometime the first is used, sometime it is indicated that it is only the second. It is good to warn about SQLite, but what is current status ? Documentation of version 5.0.x contains "similar" informations. It may have changed, but maybe not. I'm taking time to submit my feedbacks because my choice may change in a few months. I hope to find better answer to my questions next time I will evaluate my need and reading the documentation.
