[Bacula-users] VSS Microsoft Exchange 2010 SP1 - logs not flushed?
Hi, Being pretty new to bacula I'd first like to apologize for probably stupiod questions. But I couldn't find proper answers yet: * The Exchange Plugin does not support 2010 yet, correct? Is it going to be developed further? * I assume I should be able to backup Exchange 2010 SP1 using VSS. I do indeed get a backup, but the transaction logs aren't flushed, though I set the backup-level to full. What am I missing here?

Hey Henrik, I don't think that exchange cares about the snapshot created by bacula. You could use a script to backup the database - see http://adsm.org/lists/html/Bacula-users/2011-10/msg00142.html Kind regards Julian Von: Henrik Zawischa - SONIC Performance Support [mailto:henrik.zawis...@sonic-ps.de] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 9.

I do indeed get a backup, but the transaction logs aren't flushed, though I set the backup-level to full. What am I missing here? The existing bacula Exchange plugin uses the esebcli2.dll api, which is not supported under Exchange 2010. Exchange 2010 can only use VSS to do backups, and while Bacula supports VSS in the bacula.org edition, it doesn't involve the writers in the backup so you effectively only get a 'crash consistent' backup, rather than all the bells and whistles of the VSS writers like transaction log flushing etc. So you either need to do the backup another way to a file, or use circular logging, making sure you understand what circular logging takes away from you in terms of exposure to crashes etc. James -- RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
