All,
I have a job which has failed the last few nights with the following
errors:

I use Bacula 2.2.5 installed from Blastwave packages. The packages do not
come with bat because the Qt4 dependency is not yet a Blastwave package.
This is how I installed the pre-requisites, compiled Qt4, qtw, and bat.
First, I setup Blastwave and installed Bacula. Those instructions were

Michael,
I am running a 2.2.5 server and using the 2.2.6 Win-32 fd. I am able to
do estimates, backups, and restores without issue.

Ok. This is a rant and you can remove it from the list if you want to

Bacula is incredibly complex to setup. Its taken 4 months and its
still not working correctly.
Things that should be easy that Bacula makes overly complex:
Labeling tapes
Assigning tapes to pools

Do you know if once I purge a Volume, and its status is "Purged"

I am also having this issue. A look in the mysql tables shows entries
in the "Filename" table, but nothing else, and trying to list jobs or
files for the Client from bconsole shows no results, even though I
have messages and email for successful backup.

or encapsulation in the bacula-dir.conf file. Was hoping someone could

All,
I'm running Bacula 2.0.3 on Solaris 10. I have had Bacula running
recently in testing, and am now trying to move to production. However,
when starting the Director, I get this error:

I'm a little concerned because of the fact that trying to compress an
already compressed file can take longer or even create a larger sized
file.

If I have a Fileset that defines "compression = GZIP" will Bacula
ignore files that are already compressed?

I have an autochanger that is currently configured and working.

I remember reading somewhere that its possible to configure a Job so
that the files and attributes are not added to the Catalog DB.
However, I can't find this documentation now.
Basically, I have a client with millions of files, and don't want all
that going into the database. My understanding is

I was just wondering what the factors limiting the speed with which
Bacula writes to tape are? I performed some testing on my LTO-3 drive
and found that the theoretical limit is 276G/hr, while my backups are
writing at around 174G/hr. The client is the Bacula system itself. The
FD is reading files
So far so good. I can just post this as a workaround. For me, its only
happened when labeling from
barcodes.

I have an autochanger with 12 tapes. I issue the label barcodes command and
it cycles through the tapes in the changer and then does the following:

3304 Issuing autochanger "load slot 12, drive 0" command.

I didn't see these included with the CSWbacula package. Is there somewhere
