Good morning, we've got a debian sarge server running bacula-director 3.0.2.3
It's been running for about 4 years now but just recently it's started
developing a problem where it will stop for no apparent reason. There's no
error messages, nothing that I can find in the logs (although there's ma
Good morning, I'm running Bacula 5 on a Debian server and mostly, it's bloody
brilliant. However, there are four servers in two locations outside of our data
centre that I'm having massive problems backing up.
One location needs to backup 10 files with a total size of about 500mb, but

That looks like exactly the thing I'm looking for, I'm not having much luck
getting it working though. I'm testing on our bacula 5 server with a bacula
5.02 client.
Ignore that, I'm being thick. I should have uninstalled the old bacula client
before installing 5.02

"So bacula must be looking at this and deciding that it's already backed it up
because the modified attribute is older than the previous backup.
But it doesn't actually check or compare against what it's already backed up.
Is there any way around this?
Hi,
you could use accurate backups:
Right, I used a little tool to update the file modified attribute to the
current time and then ran the backup. Now it's backing up the massive file.

I've had previous problems with bacula running backups and simply deciding not
to backup certain files.

Hi there,
this is probably bad form as I'm essentially asking the same question twice but
I'm in a bit of a bind so here goes. Last week I posted this issue regarding
the fact that it looks like bacula just randomly decided not to backup a bunch
of files.

I finally figured out bcscan and shunted the volumes onto another bacula
server, hoping it was just a database issue.
I rebuilt the catalog from what's in the volumes and the files are still not
there.
So it looks like bacula just decided not to backup these files. could it be
something to do w
Hi, I considered that but volume retention is set to 65 days and the last full

probably you have a problem with retention periods.
When you select 5 option on restore command you should able to see the entire

Hi there, I'm running bacula-dir in two locations, each backing up about 100
servers onto disk arrays, I'm not using tape.
One location had a bit of calamity a while back and I was forced to restart all
backups from scratch, that location is doing fine.
In the other location, backups repeatedly f

I don't understand what you mean, each server is backed up seperately, I have
100 servers, therefore I run 100 backup jobs and therefore have 100 pools

This may sound like a stupid question, but everything I've found relating to
this error referrs to problems with tape changers and our system is entirely
disk based. We've got two debian servers running bacula 2.44 and 3.02 (yes,
they're old, the 2.44 one is getting upgraded very soon)
