Hi guys,
once disk space becomes full, our bacula configuration starts writing
out a whole bunch of 0 byte volumes to disk.
I can manually delete all the 0 byte files, but does the catalog
require cleanup as well?
What changes can I make to our configuration to prevent this from
happening?

Yep. My suggestion was merely a way around the inconvenience

Using what? Do you mean select specific files for restore, or do you

I'm still having trouble controlling which volume bacula chooses to

There are no volumes in your File pool that bacula can use. Either

Hello,
I'm using bacula-5.0.1.
I have a 2.33GHz CPU with 2G of RAM.
I am using MySQL.
I had a VirtualFull scheduled for my client.

First of all - I agree that the volume handling on disks is one of bacula's two

Hi,
I have 25 full jobs that run over the weekend, but I want to only allow
10 to run at any one time.
Initially I gave the jobs priorities, but this didn't work as some jobs

not starting until Monday morning. So what I have
Hi
I'm sure many people using disk-based storage find that, like me, they
have three pools defined for almost every job or at least class of job,
like this:
Pool {
Name = "SystemFullPool"
Storage = "SystemStorage"
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 2 m

Hi all
I'm a rather happy Bacula user and have been following the lists quietly
for a while. I'm piping up with some ideas and comments based on using
Bacula for a couple of years for my work's backup needs.
