Package: bacula-sd Version: 2.0.3-4 Severity: important Am I wrong to assume that A DVD/CD may become old/worn-out/scratched? I can think of several ways that tools like par2 and/or dvdisaster can be used to combat these conditions, but I can't guess how after reading all the config files and most of the docs.
On the same note it's possible that a Volume can go misplaced/lost/destroyed. Writing out a parity volume would be a great option. I understand some of the technical challenges here and that this feature would not seam like something that could be done with pre/post exec hooks like the previous request. In any case I think a "post volume spool"(volume is done spooling) hook for calling par2 and a "post label->mount"(There is a *newish* volume with free space for any waiting par2s) hook for starting a job would be important for every day use. I think mostly the bacula-sd should take care of this, so that requests from multiple directors are not needed to recover a misplaced volume. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (800, 'testing'), (550, 'unstable'), (510, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-2-k7 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages bacula-sd depends on: ii bacula-common 2.0.3-4 Network backup, recovery and verif ii libacl1 2.2.42-1 Access control list shared library ii libc6 2.6-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.2-20070627-1 GCC support library ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8e-5 SSL shared libraries ii libstdc++6 4.2-20070627-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-13 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii mtx 1.2.17rel-2 controls tape autochangers hi python 2.4.4-6 An interactive high-level object-o ii python2.4 2.4.4-4 An interactive high-level object-o ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages bacula-sd recommends: ii bacula-sd-sqlite3 [bacula-sd- 2.0.3-4 Network backup, recovery and verif pn mt-st <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
