I've been using this in production for exporting large Oracle databases (100+ GBytes each) once per week for about two years. I've never encountered stability issue with the FIFOS. :-) There was only one issue during restores (not a stability one though): the FIFO permissions were -rw------- and owned by root. Therefore the 'oracle' user was not able to read it for importing... though, I do not remember whether the reason was bacula or my own scripts?! Anyhow, bacula does not seem to wait long when there is nothing reading from the FIFO. So one must be quick with fixing the permissions... all my saying goes for 1.38.11 and previous versions. Unfortunately I can not tell for 2.0.x since I no longer have control over this installation... regards, Stephan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
