Hi All,
Just joined the mailing list. Was hopefully looking for a bit of
support/advise on an issue were having with my version of bacula. We are
currently running version 5.0.1 of bacula on an Ubuntu 10.04.4. 99% of our
servers are being backed up just fine. There is an issue with our mail file
server. We use virtual full backups for our file server as they are so large to
backup.
Because the Virtual Full Backups bacula takes the last Full backup and all the
incremental and full backups since then to create the new virtual full. We have
2 media pools, so bacula will read from one and write to the other when it
create its virtual fulls. We had an issue with our last virtual full this month
and as you can see from the output below the virtual full for July is using
pool-2 so augusts backup when I run it should be saved in pool-1. However it's
not.
When I run the command 'run job=Filesrv1-Job level=VirtualFull
pool=Filesrv1-Full-Pool' to tell bacula save your job to pool one it doesn't.
It saves the job to pool-2. This is going to be an issue when next month
backups run as bacula will try and read from and write to the same pool (I
think).
