Hello, I've been trying out the new Exchange plugin from 2.5.28-b1. I've been trying to backup an Exchange 2003 installation running on Windows 2003 Server.
I have followed the instructions here: http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/concepts/concepts/New_Features.html I made a fileset that looked like this: FileSet { Name = "Windows Exchange Server data" Include { File = C:/Program Files/Exchsrvr/mdbdata Plugin = "exchange:/@EXCHANGE/Microsoft Information Store" } Exclude { File = C:/Program Files/Exchsrvr/mdbdata/E00.chk File = C:/Program Files/Exchsrvr/mdbdata/E00.log File = C:/Program Files/Exchsrvr/mdbdata/E000000F.log File = C:/Program Files/Exchsrvr/mdbdata/E0000010.log File = C:/Program Files/Exchsrvr/mdbdata/E0000011.log File = C:/Program Files/Exchsrvr/mdbdata/E00tmp.log File = C:/Program Files/Exchsrvr/mdbdata/priv1.edb } } When running this job, all that was backed up were some random files in C:/Program Files/Exchsrvr/mdbdata It seems to me that the documentation is trying to say that we want to backup the mdbdata directory, and not the files in it. If this is the case, the fileset given in the documentation is misleading, as any number of files might turn up in mdbdata, not just those listed above. So I change my fileset to look like this: FileSet { Name = "Windows Exchange Server data" Include { File = C:/Program Files/Exchsrvr/mdbdata Plugin = "exchange:/@EXCHANGE/Microsoft Information Store" } Exclude { File = C:/Program Files/Exchsrvr/mdbdata/* } } This had the desired effect on the mdbdata directory, so perhaps the documentation can be updated, if this is the right thing to be doing? However, it seemed as if it still wasn't working properly, as nothing else was getting backed up. I had no idea whether the plugin was getting loaded, as no log message made any reference at all to it. Or perhaps the file daemon was reporting something somewhere - I have no idea where though. It would have been good if the director had mentioned something. *Eventually*, I realised that I needed to add 'Plugin Directory = (directory containing exchange-fd.dll on the windows machine)' to the file daemon config file. Once I had done that, the restore backed up some files that looked like this: /@EXCHANGE/Microsoft Information Store/... But now, I can't seem to restore it, but I'll leave that problem for another day... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Bacula-devel mailing list Bacula-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-devel
