Re: [Bacula-users] Netware shares backup
Op 20120912 om 14:06 schreef Jürgen Ecker: Hello, i have a bacula Installation, wich will backup Netware CIFS shares. I have mounted the shares with ncpmount wich is included in the ncpfs package. If i start a job to backup the shares, i get a data rate of 5883.6 KB/s. If i start a windows job i get a date rate up to 17000 KB/s wich is more faster than the Netware job. Has anyone a hint why the Netware backup is so slow and how i get more performance? Is the problem on the Netware side or on the bacula side? I want to coin that it might in the middle, on the network. I don't known the setup of the original poster, but let me guess. The 17000 KB/s is from the fileserver and goes straight to a client. The 5884 KB/s has to travel a way like - the fileserver - the computer where it is ncpmounted - the computer where the Bacula storage deamon is - and maybe to some network attached storage A longer network (de)tour has it's throughput price ...

Re: [Bacula-users] Script fail, continue backup, report error
Thanks, it works. I thought it could be buiild in more a elegant way but it will do. /hans Den 09/13/2012 02:57 PM, Gary R.

Sometimes it happens that the script fails on a part of the job. The situation is then that data is not complete but that is better than nothing. I want the backup to continue and do the actual backup. When the job is finish I want to have a failure report by email if the script failed. My beforeScript looks like this: RunScript { RunsWhen = Before FailJobOnError = No RunsOnFailure = yes RunsOnClient = Yes Command = /etc/backup/dump_all_db } The FailJobOnError makes the backup continue despite the error, but the error report says OK. How can I get failure report and also a backup of the data which is OK? Make the /etc/backup/dump_all_db script do the reporting?

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula Linux and the LTO-4 tape speed
Nils Juergens nils+bac...@muon.de writes: for me (with LTO-3) increasing Maximum block size has had quite the impact on performance. Sadly, with the new setting I had trouble reading my tapes so switched back to the old configuration. in Linux, you can configure your tape drive to accept variable block size with mt setblk 0. without a variable block size, I have found that you need to set minimum and maximum block size to the same value, or else Bacula may write an, e.g., 66 KiB block if you have configured minimum block size to be 64 KiB. at least my LTO-5 drives will not accept a 66 KiB write after mt setblk 65536. oh, and I'm using max block size of 512 KiB, since that is what HP's own tape testing tool (hp_ltt) is using. -- Kjetil T.
