Hello,
I'm trying to backup the mysql and mssql databases to a file and then
let bacula backup the actual folder where my files are stored.
For mysql it was fairly simple. I created a script that mysqldump the
whole database into a gz file every day. There is also a line in there
to remove backup

Hello,
I am currently backing up to 10x25gb volumes, and I need to switch
over to 5gb volumes so that I can upload them to amazon s3.
Before I do that I was wondering if you guys know the exact size in
bytes for the following:
1. s3 (max size) 5gb (It seems as it is exactly 5gb)
2. What is the m

Hello,
So it seems like openssl is already back in main repository. (I think
it was in contrib before).
Here are the bugs for debian. I don't see a bug for openssl support.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=bacula
What you are saying is that bacula should be compiled with with
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/07/msg00144.html
apt-get build-dep bacula
aptitude install libssl-dev openssl
aptitude source bacula
cd bacula-2
vim debian/rules
# (change the options to enable ssl tls)
debian/rules binary

Hello,
My bacula server is pretty busy, and I notice that at times the IOwait
reaches 40%.
Currently I use: top, free, iostat -k 5 /dev/md5
Are there any tools/commands on linux that can tell me what is the
status of Input output. I would like to know:
- How much IO are my hard drives capable of?

Hello,
While I was working on setting up bacula, I was documenting everything
on a wiki so I can copy and paste next time.
Now that the wiki is bigger, it might be useful to people who start
with bacula or reinstalling bacula, especially on Debian like system.
Here is a pdf :

Sorry,
One more question.
I just run the smallest job and it ran incremental because it knows
the full one was done yesterday.
How can I tell bacula to do a full backup today, so I can delete the
previous volume tomorrow?
Thanks,
Lucas

Hello,
I was wondering if somebody could suggest a fast encryption algorithm
that I could use to encrypt 5gb files.
What I'm trying to do is create backup files on amazon S3 servers
which allow you to upload up to 5bg per files. I can tell bacula to
use 5gb files, which I would like to encrypt.

I am running bacula on a software raid5 running debian stable with
