Hello, Four points: 1. Bacula version 5.2.6 is *very* old.  It was released 17 February 2012.  By any standards that is *very* old.  Of course, you are probably running the version released by Ubuntu -- too bad.  I know this is not

The schedule is doing what you asked it to do.  The first backup at 15:30 corresponds to your 5th Run statement and the second one corresponds to 4th Run statement. To the 4th and the 5th Run statements are probably not what you really want to

Hello, I am pleased to announce that we have just released Bacula version 7.4.2. This version consists of mainly bug fixes. The most important fix is for MySQL 5.7, which no longer is distributed with a libmysqlxx_r (thread-safe or reentant) file. This caused Bacula linked for MySQL to fail at

Hello, Fedora 23 uses gcc 5.3 and Fedora 24 uses gcc 6.1. Thus it appears that gcc (or g++) on Fedora 24 is broken -- i.e. it generates incorrect code for Bacula. Best regards, Kern On 07/04/2016 12:58 PM, bdam wrote: > [root@sabbath ~]# g++ -v > bash: g++: command not found... > >

To proceed, I need to have the .traceback file that is normally in the working directory. The bacula-sd.conf file would also be useful. The fact that you have a DVD device may be causing some problems since it is no longer supported. Best regards, Kern On 07/03/2016 09:17 PM, bdam wrote: >

It appears to me that somehow, you have a space in your volume name. Instead of it being "Vol-0007" it is "Vol-0 007" so Bacula will actually be looking for Vol-0, which obviously does not exist. Volume names should never have a space in them, and Bacula attempts to avoid that, so the
