[Bacula-users] Unexpected error
That is a Windows VSS error. The best you can do is try to fix the problem in Windows machine, maybe reinstalling bacula works. The other option is add this line in fileset: Enable VSS = No With this you avoid the use of VSS on Windows machines, but the PC should be completly clean of running program to avoid problems with files in use.

[Bacula-users] concurrent backup
For a Tape the recomended Job number is only one, because if you run more than one you're interleaving data between jobs and restore takes longer (and i think that database size is bigger too). You can try to use Spooling, but i can't help you with that because i'm starting to configure spooling in my new backup server and i'm not sure how it works.

[Bacula-users] Multiple FileSet
|| - Can i set different fileset for different servers?
Of course, even more than one fileset in same server if you want. You only have
to create two jobs with different filesets and it's done. For example:
Client {
Name = server1
Address = 192.0.0.1
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = catalog.ca
Password = Password
}
Client {
Name = server2
Address = 192.0.0.2
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = catalog.ca
Password = Password
}
FileSet {
Name = server1.fs
Include {
File = /
}
}
FileSet {
Name = server2.fs
Include {
File = /var
}
}
JobDefs {
Name = server1.job
Type = Backup
Fileset = server1.fs
Schedule = Schedule
Client = server1
Pool
}
JobDefs {
Name = server2.job
Type = Backup
Fileset = server2.fs
Schedule = Schedule
Client = server2
Pool = Pool
}
Of course is only an example, and you've to add and set some options like
schedule, compression, pools...

[Bacula-users] Prevent jobs to run or limit bandwidth in certain hours/days
A good idea is to have a dedicated network only for servers. For example, i've two networks in my work: one for users and other only for servers, then i can run a full backup between servers using about 500Mbits of bandwidth, and users don't notice anything. All full backups are in the same day?, because another option is distribute full backups along week days (or month days), and the rest of backups Differentials and Incrementals. (sorry for my english) Greetings!! --- --- John, yes, most of the jobs start at the same time. But they join the queue because of max concurrent jobs setting. So they are not running at the same time. My bandwidth issue is not related to this, i think i explained it wrong. My bacula storage is in my office so in workhours it shouldn't consume my bandwidth.

Then I came across Max Start Delay and Max Run Sched Time and they don't fit either because i want to let the jobs run for example in weekends. Is there a way to define a jobs behaviour according to its time? Or what would you suggest doing in such situation?

[Bacula-users] Enable LTO-4 Hardware compression on bacula.
Hi, first of all i'm sorry for my english. I post here because i'm not able to enable Hardware compression on my LTO-4 tape. I was reading a lot of forums with info about how to enable, but tape still without compression.

[Bacula-users] Enable LTO-4 Hardware compression on bacula.
Remember that
you will get very little compression a second time. Have you tried
more than 1 tape? I assume you do not have any fixed volume size limit
set on the pool.
Thanks John for reply.
|| Is your data already compressed?
No, i've disabled gzip compression on bacula to speed up backups (from 10MB/s
to 50MB/s), and the most of files are uncompressed (pdf, doc, dwg...).
|| Have you tried more than 1 tape?
Yes, i've tried three. All formatted (one with mt command, and two with btape).
|| I assume you do not have any fixed volume size limit set on the pool.
I don't have any entry in pool about size limit or similar:

[Bacula-users] How to do Cross Replication Site1=Site2 (DR)
What about mysql cluster? http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysql-cluster-nodes-groups.html http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysql-cluster-online-add-node.html I've never tried this before, but maybe is a good solution ;) greetings!! Interesting problem. If we were just talking MySQL replication, there is a setting increment where you would set it to 2 in this case and no duplicate record numbers would be generated. In this case we need an increment setting for bacula jobids, or perhaps a number of sites or sites setting, which would accomplish the same thing so non-duplicating jobids would be generated within bacula. -Original Message- From: Heitor Faria [mailto:heitor at bacula.com.br] Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2014 7:00 AM To: bacula-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] How to do Cross Replication Site1=Site2 (DR) SITE 1 -- INTERNET - SITE2 Dir1.Dir2 (Catalog)(REPLICATED)(Catalog) SD1...(REPLICATED)..SD2 FD...FD FD...FD FD...FD The volumes can be easily replicated using any OS tool, that's OK.

[Bacula-users] How to do Cross Replication Site1=Site2 (DR)
But you're using both directors to make backups, or the second is only a mirror waiting for dissaster?, because for example, i've an script running every day to dump the entire database to another server, then if there are any dissasters, i only have to import the last backup to a new director. Maybe is different, because my director is in a Virtual Machine, and i've a backup of that machine in another server, then if something fails, i only have to power on that backup of director and import the last database. Greetings!! -Original Message- Mysql replication may in fact guard against duplicate jobids, since the same jobids will be in both databases, in theory. It's the replication lag that will be the problem. During the lag it will still be possible to create duplicate bacula jobids. +-- |This was sent by danielmadri...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- -- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!

|| Answering Danixu86's question, Yes , both directors will do their respective backups on their respective storages in order to let all the FDs in SITE2 to backup through the LAN to SD2 and same situation in SITE1 (to not pass anything through internet)... I may be commiting a mistake here, probably a missunderstanding, please let me know if i'm saying something stupid on this last one . I forgot one thing that maybe is the best solution: Why don't use different catalogs?, you can have two catalogs in same mysql database, then don't cares what job number and you can syncro both databases without any duplicated job. For example: MySql1 Internet---MySql2 Cat1 (U) --- Cat1 (B) Cat2 (B) --- Cat2 (U) Dir1 --- Dir2 Sd1 - Sd2 Dir1 - Cat1 Dir2 - Cat2 (U) = Using (B) = Backup Then, in first director, you can use the Cat1 as catalog with it's own job number, and in second director, you can use the Cat2 as catalog with it's own job number. Then you can syncro both MySql every day or whatever you want, and don't cares if other catalog has a Job with same ID.
