Presumably the configuration files (in their most recent form) are already stored on the tapes. An automated way of finding and pulling them would be useful, perhaps bundled with a tape scan to find the most recent catalog? Clint On Mon, 5 Dec 2011, Pablo Marques wrote: Thanks you Jesse for

I've been doing backups for a long time now and one thing I've learned is that if you have a backup that takes more than 24 hrs you're asking for trouble. In theory this should work but since your fulls take so long you won't be able to get any changed files that it misses until you complete

Hi Bob, Thanks for your reply. So right now I just tell the Bacula system that a client has a 15Tb directory to backup. How do you personally break up large backup job of data into pieces (multiple jobs)? Do you specify each directory or file in each job or do you use a smarter method ?
