[Bacula-users] Bacula split actual volume / fileset into subdirs / volume

2014-12-06 Thread remixmabix
Hello, I run a Linux Debian machine with bacula and I actually need to tell bacula in the .confs files (or Python startup script) that each directory in a specific folder is a new volume. What I understood is that I need to make a new job in order to get a new volume / bacula tape (process

Hello, Some place in the manual, there is a checklist of what to do before putting something into production.  Though it doesn't explicitly say this, it should also be used if you change some significant component such as the Autochanger.  One of the tests

Hello, VSS: The original Bacula VSS code was written by the developer by using global values (this is not a critique because it seemed logical at the time), which means that if two threads try to use the Bacula VSS code at the same time, they will corrupt data. Consequently the Bacula Windows FD

Hi Kern, Thanks for updating the docs regarding auto prune. I disabled this last week and it has immediately fixed a long-running performance problem we were having when Bacula was looking for appendable volumes for a running job. I bring this up not only to report success but also because our

Hello Ben, Thanks for your feedback on pruning. While I was reading your email, I kept wondering what version of Bacula you were running, because slowing down of the console with version 5.2.x and before was a typical symptom, while in 7.0.x this should

Hi Kern, While writing my mail I did begin to wonder if actually the v7 upgrade had the larger impact, but on balance I think both were worth doing so I’m not going to go revert the auto pruning changes for the time being. I’m currently working with the order of about 5,000 volumes so a little

Hello Ben, Surely postponing the pruning helped you, so as you say, it is better to leave it as is. Well, 5000 Volumes is getting in to numbers of Volumes that I am a bit uncomfortable with.  If it is working OK for you, great, and hopefully

It seems that only one VSS shadow copy can be use by the bacula-fd.exe. I use 5.x to back up my personal workstation during the day, which is the only time its available. I often download .iso files or do occasional online gaming, but it all gets backed up 3 times a day as I use the machine
