Hello,
i use Bacula 5.0.1 (Gentoo 32Bit) on different server with different storage
systems.
But i have the same problem at all:
On one server i have a DAT72 Tape and a Filestorage. I have two pools
File and Dat72. Every Pool has its own volumes.
I have created two jobs running at the same
Good morning, we've got a couple of bacula servers backing up loads of servers
and there's errors all over the place, most are managable but this one is
worrying as it's particularly important to the MD and it hasn't backed up
properly for a couple of weeks

Your exactly right in what you are thinking. Your diagram is correct, the

But right now, all the traffic runs over ethernet. Which i have proven with a
netstat, only the ethernet shows any connections, no connections

I'm trying to build bacula on one of my systems and need both file and

Hi,
I ran into a problem testing Bacula 5.0.1 and thought I'd share as it
took a while to figure out.
bconsole was hanging trying to connect to the director. strace showed
the client sending the hello and blocking waiting on read.
a gdb backtrace of the director gave me a hint:

Yes. You probably need a LOT more ram and to tune mysql's parameters.
Or maybe someone should tune the SQL queries (no, I'm not
volunteering, it's not my forte)
FYI, app-backup/bacula-5.0.1-r2 was just added to Gentoo portage last
night, under an ~x86 mask.

Thanks for the info people. I've been informed that it's compatible with

high chance that Bacula can use it?
Thanks.

as I finaly inherited a tape-changer I now try to create a tape-archive for some

Hi Hugh,
Thanks for the fast reply. I forgot to post my config. Here they are:
bacula-dir.conf:
Director {# define myself
Name = bacula-dir
DIRport = 9101# where we listen for UA connections
QueryFile = /etc/bacula/scripts/query.sql
Durability apart, can this be done with bacula? What RTFM should I do?
Yes. Bacula can do this. Read about bacula volume utility tools. Read
about pools so you can create a pool that does not recycle. You
probably still want to have more than 1 volume per disk so read about
the options to limit
Hi everybody
I installed the latest version of bacula (5.0.1) with bat on centos 5.4.

catalogs and when I work through bconsole
Have you waited a few minutes for this to complete?
Yes. Here's what I see for storage status:

I've tried that scenario before and now, but it's not working. It should not

Wouldn't DVD be a pretty good solution for this? Perhaps they won't be
around in 10 years, but I'd count that you could find a working reader.
At that point you could read the data off and write it to whatever the
latest, most long-term media happens to be.
Certainly better than hard drives
Why is /tmp blocked? The volume that the data is on is from slot 24.
/tmp doesn't look right for the device.
Did the label barcodes command I ran earlier mess something up?

Since we are on this topic. Never use flash / SSD for this. Current
generation SSD drives have less than 2 years data retention when
