Hi all, Love the program. I have a problem with restoring from a huge backup, however.
The backup in question contains about 10 million files, spans 5 LTO-3 tapes, and is about 2.6Tb in size. When I go to restore, bacula-dir crashes when building the restore tree. Every time. Takes about 40 minutes, and the system starts swapping pretty good. I'm running 1.36. Is it hard to upgrade to 1.38? I see some improvements in the directory tree handling code (among other things), but I'm getting pushback on upgrading... sigh... If I try to restore by filename, it won't take "/directory/name". Well, it does if I say "/directory/name/", but it only restores the directory itself. It would be very cool to be able to recursively restore a directory by name like this. Is this possible? I don't see how to do that with bacula without building the restore tree and marking the directory. Is my backup just too big? Should I be making jobs for smaller backups? What is the cutoff for a reasonable size backup? Thanks for any pointers.
