Hi Richard, thanks for your comments. I edited the corresponding line in /usr/lib/bacula/dvd-handler. Unforutnately it didn't make a difference. On the other hand I could NOT see that the disc was actually being ejected after the first part. Should the tray have opened? Maybe I need to edit so

If you are thinking of doing it just before application upgrades or the like, how about using VMWare's own snapshot functionality? They implemented it for that exact purpose. Timo Neuvonen wrote: > "Kevin Keane" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> kirjoitti viestissä > news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >> Backing up

Backing up virtual machines while powered on is probably not a great idea, but there are good alternatives: - In your ClientRunBeforeJob script, power down the VM, and power it back up after the backup is done. Alternatively, suspend and resume the VM. I used to take this approach in my pre-bac

This isn't excatly a Bacula-related issue, but has anyone experiences how consistent bacups can be achieved if I back up a linux host running a VMware Server with some of the virtual machines "powered on"?
