Hi List,
I have been tasked to test bacula as a possible backup solution for my
organisation and I configured a simple lab using two VMWare Server
V1.0.6 instances, one as the bacula server and one as the client on my
WinXP test machine.
The VMWare servers both run openSuSE11.3.
I used "Host
HI and sorry :(
I found my little error:
I used "localhost" as the host name in the Storage resource definition.

thanks Geert for the clarification.
Any idea bout the other questions I need help with?
- File/Job retention - will this affect my ability to restore data?
- Under Job, for each client the Pool = week1. Does this mean backups will only
go to tapes under week1, should this be scratch or something
Hi Guys,
has anyone implemented successful backups of perforce in bacula?
I need to write the perforce data area to tapes on a daily basis. Going to the
perforce backup recommendations I need to setup checkpoints and journals for a
'safe' backup
Anyone able to provide examples, instructions et
yes, i did ;-)
how big is your p4 installation ?
i have managed via hotspare-server
p4-server (doing checkpoints) -> rsyncd (versionised files) -->
p4hotspare --> tape
db.files are replicated replicate-function in version 2010.1
on my side i will upgrade to 2010.2 which have backup and archivin
The entire area is about 13GB in size however that includes the build area as
well. Space is not an issue at present (huge drive with more being added and
enough tapes to keep incremental backups going for at least a year)
I like your strategy .. would you mind sharing the details [Rolling Eyes

Hi Lawrence,
Bacula works better if you put the real fqdn of the machine in the
Address statements or the public ip, not localhost. (See the comment
in your config file). This way Bacula talks with its clients in the
public ip not localhost only.

We're trying to backup a client (life-ws-008) but encounter the error below.
The director is running on server life-ws-006. Would somebody please help us?
Thousands of thanks...

Not really, RAID6+0 only requires 8 drives minimum you can create two
RAID6's of 4 drives each and stripe them together.This has a benefit
as multi-layer based parity raids increases random write iops
performance. But the main issue is array integrity, mainly with
large capacity drives

is there any way to keep 7 days of backup that doesn't require having
two full backups on disk at any point?

Are there any requirements for Bacula to run on Ubuntu 10.10? Could the
server be missing something that is preventing the system from working with
Windows?
Thanks

If you *don't* at some point have two full backups on hand, then you

I would appreciate any help from anyone that has dealt with this specific

My Situation:
I successfully deployed Bacula v5.0.3 on CentOS 5.5 on a 32bit Intel-based
system in a production environment. Jobs were running great and backing up as
scheduled. I set

That is the way bacula works.

Kern's docs also state that you should make your volumes no bigger than 5
gigabytes. I have set mine to 20 GB at present. Things seems to be working, but
should I change my volume max size to 5 GB?

Example:
Core ubuntu 10.10

Any required modifications to the file system or additional software?

I have resolved the issue, which was with my storage daemon's configuration. I
had attempted to use SDAddress = saturn.roler to bind the daemon to the local
IP address, but on further reading of the manual, found that the designation
was optional. On commenting it out and restarting the service,
Costco is selling an Iomega 2.5" 1 TB drive with usb 3 for a 120 bucks.
Anyone using this for backups?

Try to avoid buying a large number of drives from the same batch. This
