Purpose is her to backup the host server, not the virtual machines. Initially the backup transfer rate was extremely slow (kbytes/sec). Changing the Network adapter (Broadcom NetXstreme 5714) settings to Large end Offload (LSO) = off as suggested in some posts increased the transfer rate to 1MB/sec, which is still 10 to 80 times slower than the transfer rates I have with other servers running Linux or Windows 7.

I can't imagine these servers can't be managed by Bacula. First use something like iperf to make sure that the problem is not bacula. Test all possible combinations of send/receive for the following: . host server . bacula sd server . another pc/server that is separate (can be linux or windows) That should give you concrete evidence as to whether the problem is related to bacula.

The fact that you are only getting 26Mbytes/second fd-sd is a bit worrying... it's well above the 1Mbit/second that bacula appears to be limited to but it's still an indication of a major problem. I haven't had that much experience with Hyper-V for performance testing but it should be able to approach Xen which easily gets gigabit speeds for Windows VMs. Is your switch up to the job?

I use this method on my FreeBSD machines to create UFS snapshots, and mount them as read only, so I can backup the snapshots to get any open files in a consistent state, then unmount and delete the snapshots with a Client Run After Job script. Works like a charm, I also have some machines running PostgreSQL dumps to disk, and one running an RYSNC job, using echo commands or verbose switches within the scripts allows you to output important information into the Bacula console log so that you can easily see that the script ran successfully when checking your backup jobs. -- Thanks, Dean E.

[Bacula-users] newbie - problem labeling / adding tapes to pool
Hello, I'm having some issues with bacula. This is a new install, I have not used bacula before. So far I've successfully backed up from a client to a file on the bacula server, now I'm trying to get autoloader working so I can backup to tape. I want to make it so all tapes or Volumes are a member of Default Pool. I'm trying to label tapes and set them up so they're available in a Pool for backups. It appears that two slots are not recognized as containing bacula tapes and I'm not sure how to fix that.

If I try the label barcodes command, it offers to label slots 1-6, and 8, but not the tapes in mystery slots 6 and 7.

So far I have tried two ways and failed: 1) when a command (e.g. in ClientRunBeforeJob) has something like echo test /tmp/test.out bacula runs it on the client as echo as command and the rest as the argument. i.e. there is no /tmp/test.out on the client 2) when I run test.sh which is in the PATH on the bacula director it fails, I guess because there is no identical script on the client. Any suggestions? Hi, all the Run-statements execute what is defined directly, without a shell. So output redirection and stuff won't work unless you do something like this: ClientRunBeforeJob = /bin/bash -c 'echo foo /tmp/foo.out' Thank you, this does it. One related question: is because I have a few commands to run, is there a way to make the commands split across several lines (for readability) ? e.g. ClientRunBeforeJob = /bin/bash -c 'command one command two' doesn't seem to work. Hi, It works for me. Did you try to use semicolon character for separate elementary commands? Example: ClientRunBeforeJob = /bin/bash -c 'echo aaa /tmp/foo1.out; echo bbb /tmp/foo2.out' Regards. gani -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
