We've had Bacula 2.2.8 in production since October, and in the last
month, I finished moving around 130
Sorry. I forgot to mention MySQL 4. Its still responding. I've tested it
while the jobs were hung. Also, if I cancel the hung job, the next tape job
in queue starts and completes just fine.

Hi all,
Been using Bacula 2.4.2 on Solaris 10_x86 for almost 2 years now.
Recently tape backups have been entering into a state that I can only

Hello,
The code for the database format change, which I mentioned in my previous
email today, is now committed to the SVN.
Bacula can now (by default) keep track of more than 4 billion File
records! :-)

Hi,
those running FreeBSD 8-current could take a look into

This will build a bootable .iso I386/AMD64 image
with TMPFS mounted /tmp and MDMFS mounted /etc and /var
which is intended as a starting point for rescue activities

Thanks for all the responses. This has led me to a partial answer.
John's suggested tests yielded surprisingly high numbers. One thing
led to another, and I finally found that turning off compression
increased most clients' performance by a factor of 10. I must have

Hi John,
Thanks for the reply. Obviously 1 backup use 1 drive, I know this.
The problem is that I run 16 backup jobs
The "update status" from "error" to "append" failed. Took the tapes
out of the library, checked physically and put it back in the slots,
updated the slots and still not working. Tried the CLI "mt -f
/dev/nstX eod" command on both tapes from each drive but that also
failed with "input output error"

Just in case someone runs into this too:
Added a bunch of clients to the bacula-dir.conf (containing Client {}
stanzas with Name, Address, FDPort, Catalog, Password etc. directives),
but not yet all the other associated stuff like
Storage/Pool/Job/Fileset/Schedule definitions for them, then

Are they all going to the same pool?

For special data we have a backup scheme that does not really fit
bacula's idea of incremental backups:
There is a directory, say /archive, that is empty by default. If
something needs to be backed up by bacula, it is copied (or moved)
into this directory. Then the backup job is started and

Dear Bacula users,
I'm looking for an advice for my backup setup. The basic question is if I
should use the recycle feature or not.
Basically the setup is as follows:
1. The storage daemon writes to file volumes named (full|incr)
into a directory /somewhat/backups
2. These files are period

This machine is backuped up by a SSH tunnul.
When Director backup this client, it creates a ssh tunnel, with the needed
port tunneling.
This configuration works on another machine prefectly.
