Re: [Bacula-users] Does anyone has backed up vmdk's of anESXi?
Hi, 2011/9/7 Jan Behrend jbehr...@mpifr-bonn.mpg.de: Don't use file based backup software like Bacula on vmdks: The backup volume will kill you. If you change one byte inside the VM you have to backup all of the vmdk image which will be substantially (!) larger. Yes, it's true. I use the copy of vmdks (and VMXs) only for disaster recovery purpose. For normal backups the bacula-fd (plus OpenVPN or ssh tunnels) inside the VM is my friend ;) regards, Pietro -- Bertera Pietro http://www.bertera.it -- Doing More with Less: The Next Generation Virtual Desktop What are the key obstacles that have prevented many mid-market businesses from deploying virtual desktops?

Re: [Bacula-users] Does anyone has backed up vmdk's of anESXi?
Hi Arnau, 2011/9/6 Arnau Coll ac...@puntdoc.es Did you try to Backup vmdk’s of an ESXi server? I’ve googled but there’re no certain answers... I think that ESXi is so striped to try to deploy bacula-fd in the System, but, trying to copy by ssh the files to other System before Backup,... What method do you use? I think it is possible to statically compile bacula-fd for the ESXi console I'm more comfortable this way: I use a script to create snapshot end copy virtual disks.

Hi, 2011/9/6 Arnau Coll ac...@puntdoc.es Hi, ** ** What’s the best way to set up bacula with a Qnap SAN ? By NFS or iSCSI?*** * ** ** Thanks I used a qnap as low-performance storage for bacula (on a VM) and others VMs, but I have connected the qnap to ESXi host as an iSCSI storage, end then created the virtual disks over the new datastore. best regards, Pietro -- Bertera Pietro http://www.bertera.it -- Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE!

Results=Program killed by Bacula (timeout) have you tried to run /etc/bacula/mtx-changer with load command manually ? Yes i did i tried an mtx -f /dev/sg5 load and unload to both drives and that works oke I did not mean mtx command. Bacula use an external program to interfacing with autoloader. This command is defined by Changer Command directive. I see in your logs that the changer command dies. Your changer command is: /etc/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d this configuration invoke /etc/bacula/mtx-changer /dev/sg5 load 5 /dev/st0 0 when bacula tries to load slot 5 of drive 0.

Now what I need to know, what is the first step to get the server to backup to tape. How to define the Tape changer and drive and where to define these things?

Re: [Bacula-users] Manually upgrade next job, disable next job ?
Hi, a workaround might be to set for your job: Allow Duplicate Jobs = no Cancel Lower Level Duplicates = yes and schedule the full job. Regards, Pietro 2011/7/26 Hugo Letemplier hugo.let...@gmail.com Hi I have scheduling for a job everydays. Sometimes, I have to disable the next job but without disabling the others that are scheduled after. Indeed, eg: I 've just seen that the previous Incremental has become really big. How can I directly say to bacula to upgrade the next job of this name to a full ? The solution would be : disable next job=MyJob run job=MyJob level=Full when= Or upgrade next job=MyJob level=Full How can I do that ? If it's not possible I think that it could be a nice feature to add to the next bacula versions Thanks -- Magic Quadrant for Content-Aware Data Loss Prevention Research study explores the data loss prevention market.
