Re: [Bacula-users] Backing up a backup file.

Andy, this is a hack but you could perhaps write a shell script to generate the file name and put it in a text file. Then in your FileSet stanza pull in the text file as your File resource. On Dec 20, 2007 9:50 AM, Andy Rude <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hey all - > > I have bacula running succ

[Bacula-users] A script to evenly distribute files among jobs?

I am sure SOMEONE here has come across this scenario. I have a top-level directory that is ~21 TB. In it are 391 other directories making up that 21 TB. Unfortunately, one of them alone is 15 TB. My goal is to split the directories somewhat evenly four ways so that each tape drive is backing up the

Once a month or so I will need to backup 30 TB of data. I have a Dell ML6020 with 128 slots and four tape engines. Is there a way to configure Bacula to use all four drives during this full backup? This should make it go a little faster.

[Bacula-users] "loaded" command on all 4 drives at startup?!

Every time I start/restart the storage daemon, all 4 tape drives are queried with something like "/bin/sh /usr/local/bacula/etc/mtx-changer /dev/sg4 loaded 0 /dev/nst2 0". Is this normal? I don't remember configuring any such thing.
