[Bacula-users] Compiling problems on AIX 5.2
I have tried to compile bacula 1.36.3 (22 April 2005) on AIX 5.3.0.0 with mysql (server, client, devel) installed from the AIX rpm's. Using the following command: ./configure \ --enable-smartalloc \ --sbindir=/opt/bacula/bin \ --sysconfdir=/opt/bacula/bin \ --with-pid-dir=/opt/bacula/bin/working \ --with-subsys-dir=/opt/bacula/bin/working \ --with-working-dir=/opt/bacula/working \ --with-mysql and I got the follwing output: - (...)

I believe most databases are not safe to backup in this manner. i dont want to dump the mysql-dbs before the backup, because this would take days... If you're using LVM, you might (a) stop mysql, (b) create a LVM snapshot, and (c) restart mysql. The (b) step is fast since it does not make a full copy of the original, it just stores reverse differences, so after (c) you can happily have bacula read off the snapshot, which you'll delete when done. Note that the above is not a scheme I've actually tried, but I've had it on my to do queue for a while and from what I've read it ought to work. A wilder idea involves dumping to a FIFO, which Bacula can be instructed to read from when doing backups, although I do not have yet worked out how restore would happen in this case.

[Bacula-users] Alternative PDF version of Bacula manual with section numbering
I have volunteered to edit the Bacula documentation. One of the first things I am doing is adding chapter and section numbering to the PDF versions of the manuals. These changes will not be committed to CVS before the second half of September and will probably not make it to the documentation on the Bacula web site until some time after that. People may find the new version of the manual easier to navigate, so I have put my latest PDF version (with section numbering, formatted for A4 paper) up on my web site, at: http://refcards.com/bacula/ In terms of content it is identical to the version on www.bacula.org -- its just the formatting that is different.

Just a question about the schedule resource. If the Pool directive is
not defined like in
# This schedule does the catalog. It starts after the WeeklyCycle
Schedule {
Name = WeeklyCycleAfterBackup
Run = Full sun-sat at 1:10
}
...does it mean that it uses the Default pool?

Try SQLite 2 or MySQL. I used sqlite3 mainly because it came preinstalled with MacOS 10.4. Meanwhile I have installed MySQL for other reasons and tried bacula with it. The result was a double in performance up to ~120kB/sec. While running the backup job I noticed that netstat reported 32768 entries in the send queue of the bacula-fd. I tried to backup to a remote sd (running under Linux on a 200Mhz/PPC603e, i.e. not a powerful box) and got ~520kB/sec.

The disk has a random read/write performance of about 10 MB/sec. Now, I don't have disk performance comparisons between an iBook and a more typical server setup, but I'd bet that the iBook is really slow in comparison... about 650 kB/s is what I get storing the (dumped) catalog database on my backupserver - the server is slower than your iBook, but still this is what the tape drive can handle - but this server only does the backups, the catalog is on another machine, and there are no other processes using lots of memory or bus throughput. In short: Try it with a setup which resembles your planned use of bacula, and with some consideration you will get good results. Backing up my (and my wife's) notebook to an external disk is exactly what I intend to do at home. There's no tape drive involved. As for the company, the backup tape drive is not yet purchased.

Hi,
Just a question about the schedule resource. If the Pool directive is
not defined like in
# This schedule does the catalog. It starts after the WeeklyCycle
Schedule {
Name = WeeklyCycleAfterBackup
Run = Full sun-sat at 1:10
}
...does it mean that it uses the Default pool?
No, it uses the pool that is defined in the Job resource. If no pool is
defined, you get an error. I just tried it. Actually, Pool is a required
directive in the Job resource. There is no default. You have to specify
one, even when you plan to override it in the Schedule resource.

Yes, unless otherwise specified in the Job resource or a JobDefs resource.
