Still trying to get Progressive Virtual Full backups to work. I solved the "no previous jobs found" problem by making only one job definition (instead of separate incremental and virtualfull definitions), and changing the job level to VirtualFull in the schedule for the times when I want to consolidate. It now correctly locates the jobs to consolidate. However, I'm getting deadlock when it tries to access storage, probably because I have Pool and Next Pool set to the same location.
The documentation ( https://www.bacula.org/9.4.x-manuals/en/main/Migration_Copy.html) states that it should work: "Alternatively, you can set your Next Pool to point to the current pool. This will cause Bacula to read and write to Volumes in the current pool. In general, this will work, because Bacula will not allow reading and writing on the same Volume." This is what I'm trying to do, but it doesn't work; the job stalls with "waiting on Storage." I assume this is because my file pool only has one device, so Bacula assumes it can't both read from and write to it at the same time. I've found lots of old (v5.x era) references to using vchanger to solve this kind of problem, but I'm unsure if that's still the best way to go. The current documentation is a bit fragmentary on this and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Here's the relevant configuration stanzas for my storage: bacula-dir.conf: Storage { Name = russell.math.ucsb.edu-sd Address = russell.math.ucsb.edu SDPort = 9103 Password = <redacted> Device = DataCenter Media Type = DCFile Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10 } Pool { Name = DataCenterPool Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 60 days Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G Maximum Volumes = 280 Label Format = "DCVol-" Storage = russell.math.ucsb.edu-sd } bacula-sd.conf: Device { Name = DataCenter Device Type = File Media Type = DCFile Archive Device = /media/bacula/DataCenterPool LabelMedia = yes; Random Access = Yes; AutomaticMount = yes; RemovableMedia = no; AlwaysOpen = no; Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10 } -- David Brodbeck System Administrator, Department of Mathematics University of California, Santa Barbara
