Hi Mr. Kern,
My question was a bit different. I have noticed that Oracle S3 is not
compatible, therefore I have implemented Oracle Storage gateway (a
docker image that uses local filesystem as a cache and moves the data
automatically to oracle cloud). I have this filesystem mounted (nfsv4)
on bacula server and I am able to backup data to this storage (and hence
in cloud).
I have around 1 TB data daily and I'm a bit concerned about the
bandwidth. It will take app. 4 hours to sync to the cloud and I need to
count in the future growth. As long as bacula writes data to one
file/volume, where it stores full and incremental backups, this is not
optimal for the cloud (the file will change and all the data will upload
each day). I have noticed that bacula stores data differently in the
cloud configuration. Volume is not a file, but a folder with fileparts.
This would be better for me, because only some fileparts would change
and move to the cloud via Storage gateway. So the question is:
Can I configure bacula-sd to store data in fileparts, without actual
cloud sync? Is this possible? I have tried several configurations of a
bacula-sd device with no luck. Should I configure some dummy cloud
resource?
Kind regards,
Ziga Zvan

Hello,
Oracle S3 is not compatible with Amazon S3 or at least with the libs3
that we use to interface to AWS and other compatible S3 cloud offerings.
Yes, Bacula Enterprise has a separate Oracle cloud driver that they
wrote. There are no plans at the moment to backport it to the
community version.
Best regards,
Kern

Dear all,
I'm testing communty version of bacula in order to change backup sw
for app. 100 virtual and physical hosts. I would like to move all
the data to local storage and then move them to public cloud (Oracle
Object storage).
I believe that community version of the software suites our needs. I
have installed:
-version 9.6.5 of bacula on centos 7 computer
-oracle storage gateway (similar to aws SG - it moves data to object
storage and exposes it localy as nfsv4; for bacula this is backup
destination).
I have read this two documents regarding bacula and cloud
https://blog.bacula.org/whitepapers/CloudBackup.pdf
https://blog.bacula.org/whitepapers/ObjectStorage.pdf
It is mentioned it the document above, that Oracle Object storage is
not supported at the moment.
Is it possible to *configure* bacula Storage device in a way that
uses *Cloud media format* (directory with file parts as a volume,
instead of a single file as a volume) *without actual cloud sync*
(Storage Gateway does this in my case)? I am experimenting with
variations of the definition bellow, but I am unable to solve this
issue for now (it tries to initialize cloud plugin or it writes to a
file, instead of a directory).
Device {
Name = FSOciCloudStandard
# Device type = Cloud
Device type = File
# Cloud = OracleViaStorageGateway
Maximum Part Size = 100 MB
# Media Type = File
Media Type = CloudType
Archive Device = /mnt/baculatest_standard/backup
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled
media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}
Is there any plan to support oracle object storage in near future? It
has S3 compatible API and bacula enterprise supports it...
Kind regards,
Ziga Zvan
