Don't suppose this is possible is it ?
I can't believe I've come so close only to be thwarted at the last hurdle.

Hi Thomas + Rich,
Thomas - Thanks for the pointer to the firewall section of the manual.
I'd missed that. Port forwarding would work but only if I had a static
external ip address for (or ddns enabled on) my router.
Rich - You are quite right! It probably isn't sane to have servers with

I would guess it is because your backup contains not just one copy of
all your files but also all the intermediate versions. Your config

I'm using Ubuntu. In the end I had to download qwt from the web and
build it before I could get bat to build.
In any case you should find the bat executable in the following folder: -
bacula-2.2.5/src/qt-console
Note: it is a little strange that it gets built into the src folder.
Maybe tha
Hi Roger,
I found it had been built in the src folder ;-) Have a look in
bacula-2.2.5/src/qt-console for bat and bat.conf.
To run it I just changed into that directory and typed ./bat

Roger,
I didn't use qmake (except when I had to build the qwt library). Also I
built it on an Ubuntu so I've probably got a completely different set of
libraries installed.
My build sequence was: -
$ CFLAGS="-g -Wall" \
./configure \
--sbindir=/usr/local/bacula/bin \
--s
Thanks for the pointers Ryan,

and back that up instead... but it's not as neat and you would have to
get the timing right so that the rsync'd copy is available as close to
backing it up as possible.

If your director, storage and file daemons are all connected by a LAN
you should be ready after updating the director's config file. If, like
me, your machines are separated by a broadband connection, with a NAT

nother one you
should use a 'Maximum Volume Bytes = nnn' or 'Maximum Volume Jobs = nnn'
or 'Volume Use Duration = ttt' setting in your pools definition.
Re-read the beginning of Chapter 22 'Automatic Volume Recycling' for
more details.
Hope that helps.

If I've got users who quite rightly don't leave their machines on all

according to when it sees a machine pop up on the network?
I'm guessing that I should use something like the following
bacula-dir.conf settings: -

Hi Robert,
Your configuration file doesn't specify how many volumes Bacula is
allowed to create or what the maximum size of any volume can be... so it
happily continues to create them whenever it needs to. Or at least it
would except that as you say the disk fills up!
Try restricting the maxim

I was thinking along the same lines. There is a problem with this
strategy though. At the very moment when your
a 'Run After Job' script suffice?
Thanks in advance,

A week or two ago I forgot to turn on the drive just before the backup

Doh! That's so simple even I could do it ;-)
