Hi Ana, Josip,

Thank you for the info!  It's much appreciated.

Ana, thanks for the tip on the compression, but I'm backing up to disk.

I was talking about tape drives hardware compression if this is your case.

Hi Craig,

If you are using tape drives (standalone or autochangers) it is almost
always a better option than software compression.

When you run a job it will do what it has been configured to do.
It will not continue from where previous job has stopped.

It is worth to say that there exist an option "Rerun Failed Levels" which
detects if a previous job with a higher has level failed and in such case
the job would be upgraded to the failed job level.

It is performed on the client side.

[Bacula-users] Newbie Bacula Questions

[Craig Shiroma]

Hello,

I just started using Bacula.  I apologize if the below questions have been
asked and answered before.

If a backup job is canceled, when the job starts the next day, does it
continue where it left off or does Bacula start the backup from the
beginning?

When compression is used, is the compression done on the client side or the
server side?

Thanks in advance,
-Craig

Re: [Bacula-users] Autochanger

[Ana Emília M . Arruda]

Hi,

Yes, you need to configure "Maximum Concurrent Jobs = X"  on your storage
daemon definition and on your director definition. Also, if you have more
than one job per client, you will need this configuration at client side
too. For example:

In bacula-sd.conf:

Storage {
  Name = MyAutochanger
  SDPort = 9103
  WorkingDirectory = "/opt/bacula/working"
  Pid Directory = "/opt/bacula/bin/working"
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 # this value should be reviewed for your
devices configuration
}

In bacula-dir.conf:
Director {
  Name = MyDirector
  DIRport = 9101
  QueryFile = "/opt/bacula/bin/query.sql"
  WorkingDirectory = "/opt/bacula/working"
  PidDirectory = "/var/run"
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 100 # this value should be reviewed for your
configurations
  Password = "password"
  Messages = Daemon
}

For physical autochangers, you can configure "Maximum Concurrent Jobs = X",
with X >= 1, for your drives, but you will have data interleaving on tapes.
If you do not want this, just configure  "Maximum Concurrent Jobs = X",
with X = 4, considering you have 4 drives and no other device configured
for this storage daemon.

Best regards,
Ana

Team,

We have autochanger with 5 LTO-4 Tape drive, When I fire multiple backup only

Good, then I guess the problem is caused by a bug in the old version
(5.2.6) of Bacula director we currently have in use. Fortunately we'll
be upgrading very soon to version 7 now, and then I can confirm it works
properly there.

BTW, when we restored the job that used Base job underneath, no files
were restored from Base and for every file there was the following error
thrown instead:

Error: create_file.c:416 Unknown file type 24; not restored:
/path/to/file.txt
