Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula on a Linksys NSLU2 or similar
James Harper wrote: Has anyone attempted to run the Bacula FD on a Linksys NSLU2 or similar NAS device? For anyone who doesn't know, the NSLU2 (as shipped from Linksys) is a ARM (I think) based NAS box with USB2 ports on it for plugging in external disks. There are a few Linux distributions available for it, including Debian and OpenWRT. I ask because one of our clients has a building which is physically separate from the main building but still connected via high speed network, which would make an excellent semi-offsite backup, but the environment is pretty hostile (they are a foundry - lots of metal dust and sand) so anything with a fan is not such a good idea. Obviously Just for this I'll not recommend placing HDD backup there. If you could get a room (even small one)there with air cleaning unit it is possible. there are plenty of x86 based box's which would probably meet the criteria, but the NSLU2 is pretty cheap and if it works it would be perfect. Obviously this doesn't replace their current really-offsite backups, but it would give them easier access to the data if required, and a fire in the main office would be unlikely to reach this other building.

Re: [Bacula-users] Removable disk HOWTO?
version becoming available? In Windows, drives are mounted by drive letter. It is possible to mount a particular USB drive at a particular drive letter and make that mapping permanent. However, as far as I know, it is not possible to force multiple USB drives to be assigned the same drive letter. If I am wrong, and it is possible to permanently assign the same drive letter to more than one drive, then a win32 version would not be too hard. Another way might be to assign drives to virtual changers by drive letter, where each drive letter would map to a particular magazine and the drive letters are reserved for those drives. That seems feasible, and I will investigate it. On Mar 20, 2007, at 2:04 PM, Josh Fisher wrote: The latest version is 0.7.4 and was posted to the bacula-users list 2006-12-12.

Hello,
I'm having problems with configuring one backup. It should be
every-day full backup, runned at 00:05, where about 100GB of files are

The backup should use the same volumes, which are 4GB files, that
means recycle and rewrite them by next run, because it's sufficient to
hold the last-day state of files.
Thanks a a lot,

I see problem with your setup...
What will happened if your backup fails or server fails when you are
doing backup? (Answer: There will be no backup at all)
Why: Because you reuse your backup media.
So probably if you modify your setup to hold the media for more than 24H
you should be OK.

One is do we only search (for dups) in the current backup job or volume or do we include other backups and other volumes. If we inclulde other backups how do we handle the case where a file from job X is on a volume from job Y because of a duplicate and now some user has purged that volume that contains job Y.

Otherwise we will have problems with volume retention and this is true mainly for removable storage (tapes, external drives...). With file system storage we could use an algorithm similar to CDP to limit the number of copies that are held in storage or age and because file system is randomly accessible and always available it will be easy to copy data. Or if database type storage type is used (why not) we could just create/delete links to a row. About searching for duplications it will be just comparing a checksum this could be done fast in SQL with b-tree indexes (I think) and if found file is not transmitted over the network, just the relevant info (filename, location, permissions etc...) -- Hristo Benev IT Manager WAVEROAD Partners in Telecommunications 514-935-2020 x225 T 514-935-1001 F www.waveroad.ca [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Is there a way to check if HW compression is ON or OFF, and what is better to use HW or SW one currently I use GZIP=1 SW one Well, Hardware compression is done in the tape hardware. You transfer the uncompressed data through your network and backup server and SCSI subsystem, but don't need extra CPU power on the client. Personally, I prefer hardware compression, but there are claims that you might lose the whole tape contents when you encounter incompatible devices. Which is something I consider a myth, given that hardware-compressing tape drives are always compatible (as far as I know). Trying to compress pre-compressed or encrypted data is counterproductive, so, if you need fine-grained control over compression you better use software compression. I'm aware of all this, but in my case I think SW compression is better, because I have 10MB network between servers (and that is enough for my setup - except backup there is no high bandwidth demand application). Also I've tested the HW compression (on similar drive in 1999) and the backup was much slower??? and compression really bad!!!

In order to achieve bit-identical backups, one would need to snapshot the filesystem before starting the backups and release the snapshot afterwards (Assuming LVM or other snapshot-capable setup) Hello Alan et al., I'm not really interested in bit-by-bit identical backups, I just want one full backup per month / host to go onto the tape library to take away and store the media in a different location, so a couple of different files within the tape backup would be no biggie. One final question, though: Right now, bacula does a full backup once a week and incremental backups during the rest of the week. However I only want the full backup to end up on tape. Is there a way to restrict cloned backups to level full only, ignoring the incremental level backups? As I understand it from the documentation, the level keyword in the job's run statement would force a certain backup level for the cloned job if I'm not mistaken?

I think I remember an example somewhere in the bacula docs of how to set this up, but I cannot for the life of me find it again. Sorry to follow up on my own post, but it looks like the clone feature (using "run" in a job definition) could be used for this purpose, or am I mistaken? Would a line similar to Run = "fullbackup-client01 storage=DLT" do the trick, and more importantly, would this job run concurrently with the regular backup to disk? All the best, uwe I think that clone feature is not fully supported yet. I use 2 jobs running in same time one pointing to HDD and another to tape drive. Hi Hristo, thanks for your reply. Will those jobs retrieve the file from the clients twice (once for each job) or will the file / storage daemons handle this concurrent usage in a graceful manner so that unnecessary network and server load can be avoided? Cheers, uwe Unfortunatelly it will be twice, and if you have rapidly changing enviroment the 2 backups will not be the same. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Is it possible to store the backup in a directory
instead? My client wants to be able to mount a
directory and do file restore through a standard
networking client (SMB, AFP NFS etc.)
Just mount it and point to it.
Be sure that the storage is available when backup is done
If not, is it possible to generate a directory
from a backup to the storage server itself?
