[Bacula-users] Slow Backups to Disk?

Hello, I'm using external USB drives setup with the vchanger system to simulate a tape library, and I've got a problem where the backups are running horrendously slow. IE, the full backup of my small server (5.5GB) takes 8 hours and 10 minutes, and the backup of my 690GB file server takes

[Bacula-users] Backups Won't Run, No Error Message

2022-07-18 Thread Charles Tassell
Hello,   I'm having a strange problem.  I have a bacula setup with a tape library and 3 drives.  Backups on one of the drives are not working.  No error message, the jobs just queue up and then don't run.  They don't seem to select a volume.  The problem is with my tape labelled LTO-5-1.

Hi Ray,   If the drive is SCSI it might be a termination issue.  Does the drive show up in the BIOS POST screen's SCSI section with the other devices?  What's the output of "cat /proc/scsi/scsi"?  The only driver you should need is "st" (SCSI tape) if it's seeing the other attached devices

Hi Uwe,   You might want to try just dumping the data as full inserts and then import it with pgsql.  IE: mysqldump -nc bacula |grep INSERT >output.sql psql bacula \. output.sql Another option wqould be to use the --default-character-set option to mysqldump to switch the output to just

Hi Uwe,   I think Martin was right with this one.  You are probably going to have to edit the export file from mysqldump to remove the inserts for tables that the Postgres schema maker creates automatically.  To make this easier, so you don't have to recreate the schema each time, you can

Yes, with directory permissions execute means access, read means you can list files in the directory.  So read doesn't work without execute. On 2022-10-22 06:36, Chris Wilkinson wrote: My user is a member of the tape group but gets permission denied error ls'ing the directory. The directory is

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula is compatible with ibm ts4300?

2022-09-14 Thread Charles Tassell
From my understanding you should be fine as long as your SAS card has Linux drivers.  We use a TS3500 and it works fine.  Generally all the IBM tape libraries work off of the same SCSI standards so Linux doesn't need a model-specific driver for them. On 2022-09-14 11:06, suscripcion

Are you checking the client, or the director?  The attribute create error would probably be on the catalogue box, so I'd check your DB server or the director box if it's not using an external DB.  If you are using MySQL or Postgres, check their logs (either /var/log/mysqld/mysql.log or
