Hi List,
I have been tasked to test bacula as a possible backup solution for my
organisation and I configured a simple lab using two VMWare Server
V1.0.6 instances, one as the bacula server and one as the client on my
WinXP test machine.
The VMWare servers both run openSuSE11.3.
I used Host
HI and sorry :(
I found my little error:
I used localhost as the host name in the Storage resource definition.

thanks Geert for the clarification.
Any idea bout the other questions I need help with?
- File/Job retention - will this affect my ability to restore data?
- Under Job, for each client the Pool = week1. Does this mean backups will only
go to tapes under week1, should this be scratch or
Hi Guys,
has anyone implemented successful backups of perforce in bacula?
I need to write the perforce data area to tapes on a daily basis. Going to the
perforce backup recommendations I need to setup checkpoints and journals for a
'safe' backup
Anyone able to provide examples, instructions
yes, i did ;-)
how big is your p4 installation ?
i have managed via hotspare-server
p4-server (doing checkpoints) - rsyncd (versionised files) --
p4hotspare -- tape
db.files are replicated replicate-function in version 2010.1
on my side i will upgrade to 2010.2 which have backup and archiving
The entire area is about 13GB in size however that includes the build area as
well. Space is not an issue at present (huge drive with more being added and
enough tapes to keep incremental backups going for at least a year)
I like your strategy .. would you mind sharing the details [Rolling

Hi Lawrence,
Bacula works better if you put the real fqdn of the machine in the
Address statements or the public ip, not localhost. (See the comment
in your config file). This way Bacula talks with its clients in the
public ip not localhost only.

Hi,
I have a problem with so called roadwarriors. I'm using pool of several
files to which I backup roadwarriors. Unfortunately once in a while user
shuts down his notebook and leaves office before backup was able to
finish itself. It leaves me with volume in error state:

So,
is there any way to keep 7 days of backup that doesn't require having
two full backups on disk at any point?

Are there any requirements for Bacula to run on Ubuntu 10.10? Could the
server be missing something that is preventing the system from working with
Windows?

If you *don't* at some point have two full backups on hand, then you
don't have a robust backup solution, because it means you deleted

Kern's docs also state that you should make your volumes no bigger than 5
gigabytes. I have set mine to 20 GB at present.
