Hi, Rob,

Thanks for the response.

1.
I'm only using 25% of my 2TB Dropbox account, so I don't expect storage 
to be full.

This particular cloud server is tiny, just a single CPU, 50GB storage, 
2GB RAM.

The biggest file I managed to write successfully to my rclone/Dropbox 
mount is 1GB:

When I tried to write a bigger file, I got an "out of memory" error, in 
hindsight I suppose this was to be expected.
I'm trying to keep costs down by renting only a very small cloud machine 
until such time I need the capacity increase.

root@c1:~# dd if=/dev/urandom 
of=/mnt/MylesDearDropBox/Backup/someuniquefilename.img bs=1G count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB, 1.0 GiB) copied, 9.12953 s, 118 MB/s
root@c1:~# ls -l /mnt/MylesDearDropBox/Backup/someuniquefilename.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1073741824 Dec  4 19:31 
/mnt/MylesDearDropBox/Backup/someuniquefilename.img
root@c1:~#


so I'll tune down my bacula director config for max file size of 1G.

2. I'm still confused by what exactly "Vol-xxx" is supposed to be, I see 
there are config settings for setting this name, but I only create the 
device files MylesMpwrware<x> and point to them in in bacula-sd 
configuration as "Archive Device".  Should I also be creating the 
"Vol-xxx" files as well?   I did see the first of my "Archive Device" 
files filling up:

root@c1:~# ls -l /mnt/MylesDearDropBox/Backup/bacula/archive/
total 20971544
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21474860756 Dec  4 03:27 MylesMpwrware1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root           0 Dec  4 03:04 MylesMpwrware1.l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root           0 Dec  4 01:00 MylesMpwrware2
root@c1:~#


I'm sure with a little more banging my head against the wall things will 
start to make sense.

Thanks,

<Myles>
