[Bacula-users] Windows-only installer?

2010-11-05 Thread Davin Church
Where can I find the (unsupported) Win32 installation executable for the entire 5.0.3 system? (I don't have a *nix system to compile everything myself.) I only seem to be able to find the (official) File Daemon programs for Windows. Davin

[Bacula-users] Help needed setting up DVD under Windows

2010-11-07 Thread Davin Church
I'm running WinXP and trying to set up a test backup to a DVD-R using Bacula/Win 3.0.3a (the latest precompiled Win version I could find). Most things seem to be running, but I'm having a device problem with my DVD writer. Perhaps someone could help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

Ok, I'm probably doing something stupid that's obvious to everyone else. Perhaps someone can point it out to me? I'm running Bacula v3.0.3a on WinXP and most things seem to be working fine. I'm trying to specify some file extensions that are not to be zipped (e.g. .gzip, .jpg, etc.), but it

Thanks for your reply, Martin! I'm backing up only a single file for this test and the data written is about 1/5th as big as the file it's backing up, and the job status shows a 78% compression ratio. I don't think anything else looks odd - everything seems to be backing up fine. It just looking

Yes! That works! So it looks like there's a bug in that process. I haven't used the bug-reporting procedures here. Would someone else like to report this for me so it's done right, or shall I muddle through figuring it out myself? Thanks for your help!! Davin At 12:56 PM 12/17/2010, Martin

[Bacula-users] Inconsistent use of checksums in ancient 3.0.3 version

2016-05-09 Thread Davin Church
For years I've been using the ancient 3.0.3 version of Bacula, but I'm now having computer problems and I want to verify my current files' MD5 checksums against the database. However, when I look in the database's File.MD5 column, I find that some entries have reasonable-looking

user friendly. The second most popular distribution is Debian, which is what I use, but definitely is less user friendly than Mint. MySQL would be a good choice for your database.

My current home Bacula system is so terribly ancient that I've just got to get rid of it, but no pre-compiled updates are available for Windows. So it looks like my best bet to is to create a VirtualBox VM (on my Win8.1 host) and load some flavor of *nix on it and install the appropriate

Thank you very much Sebastian! I am very sorry for implying the wrong thing with my subject - around here it just means "newbie" (i.e. new user), about Linux in this case, and I didn't know it meant other things elsewhere. My apologies for not asking my question more clearly, too. I have plenty

Thanks again, Sebastian, but these instructions do not apply to the problem I'm having. I have apparently installed PostgreSQL correctly. And I know what to do when I get to the Bacula configuration. My issue lies between those two steps, in getting Bacula onto my system in the first place.

I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but why is the Director not available to run under the pre-compiled Windows distribution? I ran into this long ago but I thought that it had been re-included more recently. Apparently I was incorrect. Is there a particular reason for this exclusion?
