[Bacula-users] Windows Backups over VPN
Holy smokes what an adventure!! Here's the software I am using for this: I had bacula 2.4.4 running on my Mac, which I am using as my director and as my storage daemon (I have an external USB drive sticking off of it just for backups). VPN, I am using OpenVPN, and, for grins, I downloaded OpenVPNGUI for my windows box. Initially I installed the latest windows 32-bit client, which is 3.0. Once I got the VPN connection set up, I installed the Bacula client for Windows. Pretty much a click and accept, then paste the authentication code into the director's configs. With client 3.0, I got an error of HELO refused. Did some digging and saw that somebody else had run into issues with version deltas. Uninstalled Bacula3.0 and Installed Bacula 2.4.4. That cleared that HELO hurdle and the file daemon would then accept connections from the director. The next problem was that the file daemon had no idea where the storage daemon was, which necessitated editing Windows XP's hosts file to point it in the right direction (to the VPN IP). XP stores its hosts file in an odd location, which makes things a little more ticklish. I found it on my machine in C:\Windows\Windows32\Drivers\etc. Used to be in the base system folder, but, I guess it moved Anyway, with those things set up and in place, I am very happy to say that I have Bacula running automated backups from a Mac director, with both unix and windows clients, across a VPN! -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Re: [Bacula-users] question on full backups
I did change the fileset to add an exclude in between. Would that cause all the previously backed-up files to be backed up again? If so, I suppose I should just delete the original job, and re-run the full backup. Seems silly, though, to have it run a full backup just because an exclusion was added. Would it be possible to pull the excluded file from the first backup, and then get an incremental? Just curious...

I ran the backup and got a full backup, as expected, having not run it before. I then ran it again, and got that no full or suitable backup was found, and that another full backup would be run. Is this caused by the backup being presently disabled? Or is there some other cause to this? Did you change with the fileset or job definition between backups?

Re: [Bacula-users] use of multiple tape drives
Thanks, François I don't think I had specified it at the Client resource. Jobs was unnecessary, since I am looking to run multiple jobs simultaneously, rather than two instances of the same job at the same time. The others I had specified. We'll give it another try and see what we can make happen.

[Bacula-users] order of operations
I'm pulling a massive full backup, and am curious on one point. I can see, in bconsole, that the file daemon is examining files. I can also see that the bytes / files backed up is holding at 0 on the jobs list. Does bacula examine all the files before it begins to actually back them up? Ie does the file daemon have to finish all the examining before the data begins to transfer over to the storage daemon? That was my assumption, but, I have seen the storage machine (same machine as the director) have its incremental backup run and that run was *much* larger than its initial full backup, so, thinking there may be some data coming over, but just not sure...
