[Bacula-users] Set start time elsewhere than Schedule?
Hi everybody!
Is it possible to set client start time somewhere other than Schedule
configuration?
So we can use the same schedule, but in different time start.
I didn't found anything like this in doc :(
Ex:
Schedule {
Name = FSS
Run = Level=Full sun
}
JobDefs {
Name = client001.jd
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = client001
FileSet = all-unix
Schedule = FSS
Storage = Filedisk
Messages = Standard
Pool = StandardPool
Priority = 10
Start Time = 23:00
}
JobDefs {
Name = client002.jd
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = client002
FileSet = all-unix
Schedule = FSS
Storage = Filedisk
Messages = Standard
Pool = StandardPool
Priority = 10
Start Time = 15:00
}
Thx,
Fabio

Hope that helps a little Hi, we're running bacula 2.2.8, using concurrent jobs = 2 on a disk based set of volumes. I've done several restores from those volumes without any errors, and haven't seen the error you mention in a good 3 months or so since having switched from concurrent jobs = 1 to = 2, so I'd consider this a positive report that the feature actually does work. The problem bug may have been introduced in a later version of bacula.

[Bacula-users] don't store file information
Hi, is it possible to configure a backup job to _not_ store information about the backed up files/paths etc in the database? I recently tried to backup my BackupPC pool with bacula. BackupPC makes excessive use of hardlinks, I ended up with 50 GB of data in my postgres database only for this single backup job! I don't need the file information, the bacula backup will only be used if I have to restore the whole BackupPC pool for desaster recovery. I couldn't find a option for this in the FileSet, Client or Job resources. A very short file retention won't help, because my diskspace for the database is not even enough to store this information at all (the job ended with an database error during the batch inserts...).

[Bacula-users] bacula management questions
hi guys, bacula kicks arse lol how may I know how long its been since the clients where backed up from bcosole of whatever? I jsut want to find out quickly which ones have the longest time to see whats going on with them btw, every once in a while employees lave the company and new ones come in, so my machines names change names with them, how may I move the clients name from old-fd to new-fd? I currently delete old configuration, create a new one and whalla, duplicated information and I am building up a bunch of unsused names in the clients list and taking space with old backup files :s thanks -- OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.

[Bacula-users] Error writing to tape
Greetings I'm wonding if anyone may have any ideas of how to prevent this error. I've been using bacula for a few years in one location and would get an error like below approximately once every three weeks. It has not been too big a problem and I am able to just umount mount umount mount and solve the issue from home. So not to big of an issue for me. However, I'm getting the oporunity to use bacula at another location and we have the exact same tape drive there as well. They are both Certrance LTO2 drives. These are just single drives with no changers. If anyone has any experience solving this kind of issue, I would certainly appreciate the help.
