I have a new server running Windows 2012R2 with Hyper-V for running Windows
VM's. Rather than buy a separate server for running Bacula on, I'm thinking we
can use a SAN with an iSCSI connection to a Linux VM and run the director and
sd on that.

I'm documenting the restore procedure for a customer site. For offsite media, I
am backing up the catalogue to the offsite media, and then purging the records
for that media from the catalog (so that subsequent virtualfull backups don't

In the past for setting up disk based backups I've used multiple physical disks
each with a single sd device on them and limited each device to a single job
at a time, and each fd backing up to its own pool, with one device per job.
This minimises seeks and fragmentation etc but does mean I'm m

I needed to restore from some old disk media which had long since been purged
from the catalog. I bscan'd it back in and started a restore but it's taking
_ages_. Normally a restore from disk gets started in seconds and then is
basically limited by network/media speed. This restore seems to stil

I have a backup_catalog_pre and backup_catalog_post scripts. The _pre script
just calls the catalog backup script so it can be backed up by the job. The
_post script is on the end of this email. It gathers any volumes associated

I want Bacula to simply cancel the job if no useable media is found. If the
current media is not yet past its retention period then it means the operator
hasn't put the disk in, and the job cannot run so it should cancel immediately.

When I buy pretty much any external USB disk it comes formatted as NTFS.
Changing to ext3 or some other FS isn't a big deal, but has anyone done any
performance testing against ntfs-3g?
