[Bacula-users] Migrating to Bacula

Hi. We are considering migrating to Bacula (from what we have seen - we are impressed!) and a have a question or two I hope you might help me answer. Amanda has a feature I really like. When the correct tape is missing, broken or full Amanda just spools everything. If you have a large spool, b

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Yes. In fact, Bacula is more likely to use the wrong tape than the right one, in my experience... by "wrong" I mean "not what I intended." Bacula has a fairly sophisticated mechanism for determining what tape to use. Provided you have your pools define

Thank you Josh, kern, for you replies. Yes Im using 1.38.11, and the "slot=" does not seems to work(although bacula doesn't complaint about it) I think its logical why bacula doesnt load the tape: its because mount command is not associated to a pool(a job is!), so bacula doesnt know what tape

[Bacula-users] Volume size limits backing up to file.

Hi, I am trying to back up 60Gb of data to hard disk storage. When bacula is set up to automatically label volumes, but when a job is run it creates multiple volumes, each with a 2 Gb file size. I don't specify any maximum volume size in bacula-dir.conf. Is there any way to force Bacula to writ

Re: [Bacula-users] Cant mount a tape after server reboot.

I believe that is the expected behavior. The mount command mounts the volume in a particular archive device. It does not perform a "load and mount" for autochangers. Notice that the mount command does not ask for a slot number, thus could not possibly know what volume to load and mount. The sh

Re: [Bacula-users] checksums

That's metadata. The _data_ hasn't changed. I repeat it is wasteful to back up *data* that has not changed. Some programs are smart enough to do this. I've also pointed out that we can have it both ways, if we want. Apparently some people would rather back up the same identical data over a
