Hi,
Yesterday afternoon I managed to successfully run my first Migration Job

had completed, I used bconsole query 'List Jobs stored on a selected

I installed 3.0.3 a month or so prior to 5.0.0 being released, with a
view to using bat for restores, as it made life much easier for
commandline-phobes, and it performed very well.
It was then updated to 5.0.1 and restores of anything more than a
handfull of files became unusably slow. I noted

Hi. I ran the Ubuntu 10.04 upgrade the other day (from 9.10) and it fell over
at the bacula update stage. It was complaining about the database.
I can see now that I have the 5.0.1 binaries laid down. Prior to the upgrade
attempt I was running 2.4.4.

FWIW, I'm just getting back to this...and that command doesn't work on Windows
7. "Systemstatebackup" is only available on Windows Server 2008.
Thanks though,

Also
I'm currently set up with a File based backup system (no tapes). Initially I
wanted to make 1TB files, but learned (and read) that recovery of a backup is
very slow with large files. So, I reconfigured it to create 1GB files. This
will create significantly more files (1000x) but this won't be
Yes, that´s true. But it makes very complicate to maintain backups with
Windows 2008 and Bacula. Wih windows 2003 a system state backup and a bacula
backup a full restore was possible.
Foo, could you explain wich product is "ADS"?? is open source?

Huuum
I want to hear about this option too. On bacula manual i can´t find any info
regarding it...
I think that James refer to
Enable VSS = yes
But this option allows a "hot copy" on windows...

Yeah, we use it almost everywhere. The only exception is a video store
where the files aren't terribly compressible. As you might imagine, it

No,
As you can see in my last mail, you need to run scripts before bacula
backup. In Windows 2003 too.

At the risk of getting the sums wrong and looking silly:
400GB in 11 hours
~ 36GB per hour
~ 600MB per minute
~ 10MB per second
~ 82Mbit/sec

Hello
I use this little script on weekly basis before bacula backup

Wbadmin saves several system states, and in my case with the last one is

Hi, we've come over from an Amanda backup system which had become a

My concern thought is speed: Bacula is proving to be very slow, possibly in
relation - it seems - to its network utilisation. We're backing up over a

Does this also go for W2K3 now, i.e. is this a feature of Bacula 5.x, or
of W2K8?
