Hello, yes, your installation could be affected by bug #437.
Question 2: yes and only, if a certain file spans over multiple volumes. 3: with larger volume files you can reduce the possibility of getting incomplete files in your backup (less files could be spawned over multiple volumes) but you cannot completely eliminate the risk unless you make sure that no job spawns over multiple volumes. 4: explained in detailed here: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01039.html 5: see #4, you can also use the packages from the nightly builds, which already contain the bugfix. If you expect a professionally maintained and supported open source backup solution for your production environment, we recommend a Bareos subscription and optionally Bareos support. Our fair pricing does not have significant impact on most companies' or organizations' IT budget and additionally helps to sustain Bareos development. Remember: Free Software means 'free' as in free speech, not free beer.
