[Bacula-users] File based backups

2005-10-25 Thread Jason Tan

Hi All,

I'm wondering if anyone who uses file based backups (instead of tapes) 
could tell me if the volumes for their files get VolumeBytes, 
VolumeFiles and LastWritten recorded.


My catalog shows 11 jobs on Volume BaculaQuickFile-0001 (ie Volume Id 50).
However these is apparently no data and no files recorded on the Volume 
in the catalog (at least not that part of the catalog that bconsole 
displays).


In addition a file listing shows the volume to have been written to the 
tune of about 2.3G.
What I am trrying to do is get backups working on a pair of remoavvable 
USB disks.


The data gets written to the volume, but the volume never changes, 
despite the fact that Max Volumes Jobs for the pool is exceeded and 
other labelled volumes exist in the pool.


I also get an error listed below, about an Invalid Catalog Request.
I'm not sure how to interpret this other than quick's sd cant write to 
radio's sd.
However it is possible to open a socket from quick to radio:9101 which 
is what I assume is required for quick's sd to communicate with radio's dir.


Various data below.

Has any one had a similar experience?
Can anyone suggest what the issue might be or where I might look for 
more info.
The bacula log bascially doesn't containt anything over and above the 
messages I get via mail or bconsole.


Regards and thanks for reading this far.
Jason

i suggest u either use MaxVolumeBytes or MaxUseDuration to limit backups 
to a HD file ...
