RE: [Bacula-users] What's the meaning of the name "Bacula" ?

2005-11-29 Thread McCann, Brian
It's a play on words...Dracula and Backup. That's why the documentation starts with " It comes in the night and sucks the essence from your computers." :) --Brian From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Diogo Melo Sent: Tuesday, November

[Bacula-users] Storage Daemon 'Replication'

2005-12-01 Thread McCann, Brian
Hi all...this may sound silly...but is there a way to have the SD send whatever is written to one device, also to another device or SD? All our backups right now go to one server, and I'd like them to be replicated to a 2nd server in another building (I've got a gigabit link between them). I know

[Bacula-users] Storage Daemon moving

2006-01-09 Thread McCann, Brian
I've got a few storage devices located on server1 that I want to move to server2. Each "device" is a file device, with 8 volumes. My question is, if I copy the files to the new server, will everything continue working fine? I've done some searching and cannot really find anything on the topic.

[Bacula-users] Problems getting off the ground on FreeBSD

2005-06-28 Thread McCann, Brian
Hi all.  I'm hoping someone here can help me out.  I've installed and made my first test config for Bacula, the daemons start, but bconsole isn't on my system anywhere!  When I built Bacula, I did it from the ports collection (Bacula v1.36.3) using "make -DWITH_POSTGRESQL install".  I can se

[Bacula-users] Help understanding how to setup

Hi all. Forgive my ignorance here, but I'm having a hard time trying to understand what I need to do. (And it's probably so simple I'm going to smack myself in the head when I hear the answer). I currently use UltraBac to backup about 10 Windows workstations to a large file array, and want

[Bacula-users] Catalog Backup

2005-07-12 Thread McCann, Brian
Hi all. I've finally started to get backups of my clients to work right (except for some issues with NT Backup doing the registry stuff)...but I'm having a problem backing up the Catalog. I'm using the default job tweaked a bit: Job { Name = "BackupCatalog" JobDefs = "DefaultJob" Level = F

If my memory is correct (and I'm hoping it is since I'm doing this), a system state backup of Windows should grab that stuff. I haven't tried restoring that in a LONG time...but iirc, it should work. --Brian -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf

RE: [Bacula-users] Bacula and Microsoft Exchange on Windows

You're right...just backing up the files doesn't work as they are locked. I have a scheduled job that runs on my Exchange server that runs a backup of the Information Stores to a network share, then Bacula does it's thing, ignoring the Exchange files. --Brian -Original Message- From: [EM

RE: [Bacula-users] Bacula problems on FreeBSD 5.4

For what it's worth, I'm running it on FreeBSD 5.4 and it's working fine.  I didn't think Bacula wrote directly to the hardware when you use disk devices...but I could be wrong.  I had problems similar to this with another program, turned out my RAM wasn't fully supported by the motherboard.

Hi All. I'm having a hard time finding a solution to this...but I'm sure there is one. When all my desktops were on Windows XP, I used the "Client Run Before Job" command to run ntbackup to make a system state backup to grab the registry and all those other goodies. For the life of me, I can'

Hi all. I've got a configuration issue that's been driving me nuts for weeks now. I backup several Windows machines using Bacula, to a large disk array. Each workstation gets its own pool. My problem is that I have the pool "theoretically" set to keep 15 days of backups, but currently it's g
