[Bacula-users] Tape backup only writes 1 GB

Hello, my Dell Powervault 124T autochanger is loaded with LTO-4 tapes. When I run the job, it terminates with an error after 1. 000 G (999.2 MB). The job should save 50 GB (one file from another weekly job) per month. Error message is "ERR=broken pipe" and something with MTWEOF. bacula-dir.con

[Bacula-users] Exclude Dir Containing directive only works with just one value

Hi all, I'm seeing an odd situation, running Bacula version 5.0.3. The Exclude Dir Containing attribute seems to work fine if I only specify one, but if I specify two, they're both ignored. Anybody else seen this behavior? Here's what I'm talking about... I used this FileSet FileSet { Na

Greetings. Can I set "default options" for FileSets the way I can for Jobs? Or, can I somehow include an external file into my bacula-dir.conf file at a specific point? I have a number of Windows machines that I back up, and I'm using Russell Howe's extensive (but long) exclusion list. However
