Hello everyone,
I use Bacula for 4 months and I have several questions in order to optimize
it.
I am backing up servers in the default file pool and migrate them on some
LTO-6 cartridges like this :
Full backups sat-sun then migration to LTO-6 “L” pool
Diff/incr mon-Thursday then migration to LTO-6 “M” pool
I use SQL queries to perform migrations selection jobs as you will see
further.
And now my questions…
1°) My LTO-6 is a single drive (not autochanger), Is my drive definition
correct in bacula-sd.conf ?
2°) I use Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1 in pool definition and bacula-sd
because with 4, my drive swap a lot and migrate rate was about 10 Mb/s
only. With MCJ=1 rate is above 80 Mb/s.
This was fine with my previous drive LTO-4 drive. I don’t know why it’s
works badly with LTO-6.
Is it correct ? How is it possible to have several migration jobs to a tape
drive at the same time.
3°) I have 2 jobs for each migration job : 1 backup + 1 migration, in
bconsole, baculum, and mails… Not efficient for exploitation, is it
possible to have only 1 job (the migration one) ?
Bconsole example :
14975 Migr Full 0 0 Migration LTO_INF_F is running
14976 Back Full 0 0 Backup W_INF is running
4°) In client definition migration jobs I use these settings to avoid lots
of children jobs :
Allow Duplicate Jobs = No
Cancel Running Duplicates = Yes
Cancel Queued Duplicates = Yes
I confess I do not understand how it works.
5°) In Windows, how to filter thumbs.db files in backup jobs ?
6°) How to verify migration jobs without connecting to the client, just a
cartridge reading verification ?
7°) For bonus.. some advices ? :-)
I know it is lots of questions…
Thanks in advance
