 more than one client is available to backup the (shared) storage. If I
 change the name of the client in the Job definition, a full backup
 always occurs the next time a job is run. How do I avoid this?

i would run the bacula-fd (maybe a second instance to not intefere with 
other backups on the node) with the same configuration on every shared 
storage node where you would like to backup the storage and setup an DNS 
entry to point at the desired node.

 I will try spooling, thanks for the suggestion, but i cannot understand
 why spooling will help with my problem. The storage is not tape or DVD.
 It is HDD, so there should no problems with or without spool.
 My problem is maximum jobs on the client.
 
 The 'problem' is bacula. Bacula uses every storage type the same way. As
 long as you only have 1 drive for that storage, only 1 job will run the
 same time. The 2 common solutions to this are
 - use a virtual changer (vchanger) and just have more drives, I failed
   to set that up myself in the context of virtual full backups
 - use 1 pool per client, if you want to in the same directory and a
   common 'Recycle Pool'. It works great that way for me.

Hi Adrian!
Yes you are right about bacula dealing with files/tapes.
But my situation is differ. I have 4 storages with one device each. And
my problem is that bacula do not want to backup different clients to
different storages concurrently in case clients have less than 3 jobs
allowed.

I have no problem with storage. I have tested configurations with spool
and two drives per storage and it works fine.

But bacula still try to start concurrent jobs from one client.

The thing i need is bacula backing up multiple clients at the same time.
Not multiple jobs from the same client at the same time.

Regards,
Anton

[Bacula-users] Job status confusion

2012-03-25 Thread Anton Nikiforov
Dear ALL

I have found out that job status in bconsole does not update.

I have started restore job to check backup and have following:

1150 XX.sql-Full-restore.2012-03-25_14.46.28_33 is waiting
on Storage FileStorage-X.sql-fd

But at the same time i can see data restored on the client. And as far
as i understand the job status should be running.

Best regards,
Anton Nikiforov

[Bacula-users] bacula table b2123??

2012-03-25 Thread Stephen Thompson


Hello all,

I notice that I have a table called b2123 that hasn't been written to in 
months (Nov 4 2011) and does not appear to be one of the tables created 
during install.  Is this some kind of temp table that I can go ahead and 
drop?

It looks like the File table only much much smaller.

thanks!
Stephen
