Hello, In my case spooling brought a remarkable improvement. Where as I had hundreds of errors on one restore I hardly see them now again with spooling in place.
Doytchin, I also saw the same behavior like you did. With the concurrent jobs = 1, there were no errors. In this case no matter with or without spooling. Unfortunately setting the concurrent jobs = 1 is not an option in our environment. So my current setting is spooling = on and concurrent jobs = 5. With this settings, it looks like that the Linux systems (OpenSuse and red hat) are ok but Solaris still has problems. For example below is a restore I did on Friday. Of course I don't mind about the door files. But the difference between expected and restored files is ways to much. And even worse, I have no idea what happened to the missing files. I don't know if this has to do something with the restore errors we saw. This could also be something different. During the weekend I moved bacula to a new and separate server. It runs on OpenSuse 10.2 with the latest patches in place now. The few restore jobs I've done so far with this went ok. All in all I still don't feel very comfortable with this, it needs more tests to be done. I will continue with testing and keep you updated.
