Re: [Bacula-users] Windows Client, VSS Issues, 2.0.3?

I really hate it when this happens. I say the problem looks resolved, then 3 days later, it happens again. Backup was again stalled, this time on an NTBackup log file (which I have now excluded). vssadmin list shadows did not list any VSS shadows. But this time it was a little different.

There's no reason they cannot use the same pool. They just cannot write to the same volume concurrently. With a tape device, that would be a problem because there can only be one volume in the tape drive. However with a disk device, a volume is a file, so there can be numerous volumes being

Hi, I've just installed Bacula 2.0.3 (build 28.Feb.07) on Win2k SP4. The file and storage daemons started fine and I can see their monitor icons on the tray but when I try to connect to the director using either the wx-console or the bconsole I get an error indicating it couldn't connect to the

If you simply want to know what Jobs and Volumes will reach their expiration date/time, that is something that you can do (and I think someone has done it) with the query.sql file. Predicting purge/prune/recycling is indeterminate (AFAIK) except at the moment in time. Consequently, sorry,

I'm sorry on this one too, but I am not at all in favor of it, as I have pointed out a number of times. IMO, Bacula should always retain the full path to where it found the data, otherwise, it will be total chaos. In addition, I find the symantics of your propose (for me) confusing. I doubt

This is not true within Bacula. For each Device (tape, DVD, disk, FIFO, ...) Bacula has a single file descriptor thus only one Volume can be open for each Device, whether tape or disk. Multiple jobs can be simultanously writing to that Volume. However, since a Volume can be in only one
