Hi all, I’m getting a touch concerned about the size of my Bacula database, and was wondering what I can do to prune it, compress it, or otherwise keep it at a manageable size. The database itself currently stands at 324 GB, and is using 90% of the file system it’s on. I’m running Bacula 7.4.

2015-07-06 Thread James Chamberlain
Hi all,I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with my configuration.  If run a full backup on the system Hawking, and then try to run an incremental against Hawking, the job gets promoted to full and I don't know why.  If I do a restore against Hawking, the most recent full backup is found and Bacul

Hi Bacula Users, Does anyone have experience setting up Storage Daemons at different sites from the Director? I'm thinking that it would be really nice to have a central console where I can see and control the backups of other sites, but I don't have the bandwidth to send all the data to

Hi Bacula Users, I'm having trouble with scratch pools. I have a three main backup pools configured in Bacula (Desktops, Infrastructure, Servers). Each corresponds to a separate RAID device (disk0, disk1, disk2), for disk- to-disk backups. I have added a fourth RAID device (disk3) which I
