Hi all,
I've got a fairly simple single computer setup, it backs up about
7.5GB of data to a DDS-3 tape on the first Sunday of each month. For
the rest of the month it does nothing but incrementals (plus full
backup of the catalog) every night, amounting to less than 2GB a
month. That leaves 2.5GB
Hello all,
I was wondering what Pool you should you specify in a Job Restore when
you have more than one. For example, I have two Pools, one for Full
backups and for Incremental.
Pool {
Name = Full-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 6 months
Recycle = yes

Hello,
This is an interesting idea. Unfortunately, it is impossible to make
self-contained tapes unless you abort the last job that is writing on the
tape when the tape files since 99.999% of the time when a tape fills there
will always be more to write before the job ends.
If that is what you

Hi,
My tapes usually last 14-21 days with full backups every sunday and

I just let the system keep using the tape until it is full. But when it
fills, I would like if I could get bacula to abandon the current jobs
and start over with a full backup as the first thing on the

Jonas,
Although it says that nothing was written it actually writes almost the
entire amount of data. It is basically continuously doing full backups
but not completing all the way. I am able to get a status of the client
without a problem. Any other ideas???
Thanks!

Hi,
This question has brought up before on 2004-07-02, but there was no
answer until now.
So I wonder if in the meantime someone has tried one of these drives
