[Bacula-users] Cleaning LOG.MYD

2012-01-09 Thread Eric Pratt
I have a 17GB LOG.MYD file in my MySQL's bacula database. This is because a previous configuration our bacula instance was using MySQL as a log destination. We no longer want that and have set our logs to go to text files that can be rotated. As I understand it, Bacula will purge these logs when

[Bacula-users] Need help canceling a job

2011-10-19 Thread Eric Pratt
I tried restoring a file but the restore wanted to mount an offsite tape. I took another path to get the file I need so no longer need this restore done. However, it's still waiting on a mount so I cannot cancel it. Here is what happens. *status all --snip-- JobId 25604 Job RestoreFiles.2011-10

I'm using Bacula with USB drives to perform offsite backups. I'm trying to create the simplest process possible so in the event I'm unavailable, my coworkers can perform restores with confidence without knowing a whole lot about bacula. Originally, our offsite backups were performed as just a par
