Encryption is a double-edged sword: you need to be very sure nobody will never get the keys.

I back up a fairly large number of workstations, and on any given night a certain number of them will be off or otherwise unavailable. I have these jobs set to reschedule on failure so that they run when the workstation eventually gets switched on. The problem is, with the behavior you mention, I can't accurately control how many simultaneous *running* jobs are using storage. If I set the max to the number of jobs that I actually want to be able to use storage simultaneously, I end up with some jobs that could otherwise run waiting for resources because those resources are committed to a job that's retrying a workstation that may or may not appear. If I compensate by setting the max higher, I risk overcommitting my storage bandwidth on nights when all the workstations *are* available. -- David Brodbeck System Administrator, Department of Mathematics University of California, Santa Barbara ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

[Bacula-users] [Bacula 9.4.4.] Backup is not encrypted in Windows 10
Hi there,
after migrating Bacula Director to a new machine (Debian 10.0), I'm not able to make encrypted backups anymore.
The configuration part for this on the client side (windows 10):
FileDaemon { # this is meName = host-fdFDport = 9102 # where we listen for the directorWorkingDirectory = "C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working"Pid Directory = "C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working"#Plugin Directory = "C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\plugins"PKI Signatures = YesPKI Encryption = YesPKI Keypair = "C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\cert\\fd-host.pem"PKI Master Key = "C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\cert\\master.cert" #20190831Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10}
The certs are valid and in the proper format. I tried debug mode, but there was nothing useful in the output.
Versions:
Windows 10 Pro (Version 10.0.17763 Build 17763)Bacula 9.4.4 (on Windows 10)Bacula 9.4.4-2+b1 (on Debian 10.0)Does anyone knows this issue and maybe a solution?
Thank you and best wishes,Steven
