[Bacula-users] Spooling again while de-spooling to tape

2005-06-23 Thread Jesus Salvo Jr.
I have a value for Maximum Spool Size in the Device resource in bacula-sd.conf, which probably explains why bacula only spools again after de-spooling to tape. I was just wondering if there is a feature / combination that will allow bacula to spool again while it is de-spooling the previous

[Bacula-users] Raw LVM2 partition backup

2005-06-23 Thread Jeff Ramen
I have worked around my problem with raw LVM2 partition backups. FYI, I am doing this to backup my BackupPC pool, which resides entirely on a LVM2 partition. This is substantially faster then trying to do a file backup of the BackupPC pool, due to the hard link handling in bacula. The space

I'm interested in this also. Perhaps a Minimum Spool Size directive so that the spool reaches a critical size to avoid shoe shining tapes, and once that size is reached the storage daemon starts de-spooling from the beginning of the spool file to the tape while still writing data from the file

Some Linux book I was reading suggested running generic (dump, tar, whatever) DR backups in single-user mode to minimize open file issues. Do Bacula users see that as a worthwhile approach, or should I spend my time thinking about more important things, like when will lunch be ready?

If I allow multiple concurrent jobs in bacula and I enable data spooling before going to tape, is there a way to ensure that only one job is written to each volume at a time? Basically I want each job to go onto the tape in order, to prevent intermixed data. Is this taken care of automagically?

Arno, In my case that hopefully wouldn't be too much of a problem -- Director and SD on the same machine with local SCSI tape. I like your idea of a CD boot, but it wouldn't allow me to make the operation lights-out (I could script going to RL1, backup, and reboot to RL3 -- I think :-). But it
