[bareos-users] When should Consolidate run? After the catalog backup?
I would guess that consolidation should run after the catalog backup when all else is done. Does this make sense or should it happen before? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.

[bareos-users] Re: Community packages repository for version 22
Ran into this too. "Designed for testing and home environments " and "not for production" are unfortunate. Home use is not considered production I guess, we need to avoid it for any real backup use at all now. Sounds like they are on the same path as bacula, which is why I switched to bareos in the first place.

[bareos-users] Restore catalog from bootstrap
I have followed the documentation and cannot get past the restore command requiring a jobid The docs state " After re-initializing the database, you should be able to run Bareos. If you now try to use the restore command, it will not work because the database will be empty. However, you can manually run a restore job and specify your bootstrap file. You do so by entering the run command in the console and selecting the restore job. If you are using the default Bareos Director configuration, this Job will be named RestoreFiles. Most likely it will prompt you with something such as:" So o run in bconsole run then selec 14 for RestoreFiles It then requires a jobid to continue but there are non yet in the database as I am trying to get the catalog using a bootstrap file.

[bareos-users] bareos-sd device count usage
I see the sd now has a "Count" parameter that looks handy for multiple devices. in the director I see no similar way to specify these devices except to list out manually like in the example https://docs.bareos.org/TasksAndConcepts/VolumeManagement.html#example-use-four-storage-devices-pointing-to-the-same-directory Would be nice if the sd config a a similar directive to not have to list all the auto generated devices.

[bareos-users] Re: bareos-sd device count usage
I saw the autochanger, but that does not allow for parallel jobs correct? Currently to have parallel jobs you have to define multiple devices and specify them all in both the sd and dir. using count simplifies the sd config, but the director with needs each listed.

I believe you are saying what i was saying. With X number of devices in an autochanger then up to X number of jobs can run at the same time. Perfect.
