Depends on how many TB you need to backup and how
If a file was not finished and the volume is full bacula will just
continue with the file on the next volume. So it will not waste space.

Hello,
While I was working on setting up bacula, I was documenting everything
on a wiki so I can copy and paste next time.
Now that the wiki is bigger, it might be useful to people who start
with bacula or reinstalling bacula, especially on Debian like system.
Here is a pdf :
http://lucasmanual.c
It'll spools out the last file to the same volume that caused that
volume to go over the limit. Then starts with the next volume for the
rest of the backup. It doesn't span parts of a file across multiple
volumes as far as I can tell.

Hello All,
I am using bacula 2.2.8 64bit for quite some time and found very stable.
Recently i have installed new server with version 2.4.2 from tarball and
taken the same config file of 2.2.8. The server started working fine but
while restoring i am facing some problem. I am using "BWX--console"

Sorry,
One more question.
I just run the smallest job and it ran incremental because it knows
the full one was done yesterday.
How can I tell bacula to do a full backup today, so I can delete the
previous volume tomorrow?
Thanks,
Lucas

Lol. No kidding. Thankfully we put all our machines together *and* I
make the purchasing decisions :-P .
I have one 3TB backup system, soon to be 4TB. And a smaller 1TB and a
2TB for another client. Saving 6 months worth of data is probably
overkill, but it's so cheap why not do it! It doesn'
Yep, with 1 TB drives at $99/$109 at Frys we ended up adding a 2nd
backup system all together. :-)
That is a great option if you can convince purchasing to buy the drive
for you and you also do not have an an extortion warranty that does
not allow you to open the case of any of your systems.

Probably too long. Remember bacula will only recycle a volume when it
does not have any appendable ones available.

Hi all
I have bacula 2.2/postgresql running on a Centos4/i386; working with a SD from
bacula 2.4 on a Centos5/x86_64. On the second box (x86_64) I have a 160 GB
FileStorage space.
Now bacula fails from time to time with these messages (upon termination of a
job):

Yeah, option 1.
We learned the hard way how its the all-or-nothing. :-[ When that HD fills
up the first thing that'll happen is a volume purge, loosing
everything. Also we found breaking up the volumes helps with
restoration when a catalog isn't available (avoids rescanning a huge
file). F

Depends on if your backups can fit in the remaining space. And if you
need the previously backed up data.

Recycling is all or none. A volume can not be reduced in size only deleted.

Hello,
I've initially setup bacula(1.38 on Debian stable) to use one volume,
but now I'm reaching my capacity.

It does seem to have effect. Since i changed the value from 30 sec to 10 minutes

between the problem and the solution.

exactly since when (maybe during upgrades), but lately backups are often
