[Bacula-users] differential backup failure and promotion

2009-03-30 Thread Mordechai T. Abzug
I had a bacula differential backup fail over the weekend due to a host being down. The next time backups ran, the host was scheduled for an incremental. I was expecting bacula to promote the incremental to a differential. It didn't -- it ran the backup as an incremental. Can anyone tell me why,

[Bacula-users] bacula: windows, and multiple schedules

2009-01-06 Thread Mordechai T. Abzug

[Bacula-users] single instance storage?

2005-12-08 Thread Mordechai T. Abzug
Does bacula support storing only one instance of a file that is identical accross multiple machines? Ie. if the contents of, say, /bin/ls are the same on a bunch of different hosts, is bacula smart enough to only store it once on the volume? Similarly, if some_name.doc on one system is identical
