Hi Dan, I'm not up to date on this point, but IIRC there had been some discussion on whether to continue providing the Python API in Bacula, due to lack of maintainership a while ago. It might not be wise to rely on Python in Bacula for your project. ext-daniel.haw...@nokia.com wrote: > I could

Just a thought... If I understand you correctly, the files never change once they are created? In that case, your best bet might be to use a copy-based scheme for backup. I'd create two directories on your main server. /current /to_backup Both on the same file system. /current (or whatever yo

Hi folks, Last evening, a few of my client backups failed with the above "subject" error message. The backups have been running successfully for more than a year and I haven't changed any configuration files etc. Any idea what the reason is behind the errors? I'm running Version 2.2.6 on RHEL4 x8
