Hi all,
I'm currently implementing a new bacula server running on a new dual
core/dual cpu Dell PowerEdge 2900 server into a Dell Powervault 136T
with a LTO-2 drive (IBM Ultrium-td2 model). The tape drive and robot
are on a dedicated Adaptec 29160 card. The OS is OpenSuse 10.2

It was suggested that perhaps my 50 GB/hr data rate was due to the
client maxing out around that rate. I believe I have verified this.
Previously I had been used to seeing much higher rates on another backup
system, but I was only backing up servers using high performance SCSI
disks, RAIDed t
Greetings,
I've been working on setting up bacula with a tape library. I now have
a situation where a tape got removed from the library. Bacula's jobs
are all hung up waiting for that tape now.
How do I tell bacula to look for the "current tape" but move onto
another tape automatically when
That didn't help. Bacula and the library know the tape isn't present,
so bacula just asks again for the same tape.

1) If you use the version that's not the latest, the bacula folks will most
likely just tell you to upgrade to the latest version, so you might as well
start there now and try to stay current.

highly recommend learning t

1) regex is more powerful (and therefore slow) for what you're trying to

My suggestion is to try upgrading your server to 3.0.2. You won't need to
upgrade all your FD's. Since I went through that, the things that used to

fixed.

If you're using barcodes you can greatly simplify what you're doing.

Hi all,
I'm using bacula 2.4.3 and I'm thinking I might have created a problem
by terminating dbcheck with ctrl-c. I had read about it taking a long
time to complete if you haven't run it in a while and don't have the
right temporary indexes created. Anyway... I didn't restart the
database
Nevermind all... The answer was
to run "mysql" then kill the offending process which was apparently
leftover from the dbcheck command. In my case the output showed it was
process 517, so I did...
mysql> kill 517 ;
That allowed bacula to continue normally.
But methinks that's a bug for dbchec

You may want to upgrade bacula to 5.0.1. One change I've noticed is that
prior versions didn't purge/recycle tapes not found in the autochanger,
which as a consequence didn't add them back into the Scratch pool.

I have a suggestion that I figure others might also want but I figured it
would be good to mention it here to see if anybody can think of a reason
not to change the sort order from the list volumes command.
Currently when we do a 'list volumes' in bconsole, the records come back

Greetings all,
We're using bacula to back up around 150 windows desktops here. On any
given day a substantial percentage of people are not around so we always
have a bunch of failures for every day--too many to chase after every
person to find out why it failed every day. Has anybody written

Zak,
I'm running bacula-fd (the 5.0.3 x63 version) fine on a bunch of Win7 x64
computers here w/o problems. However, there are some problems with the
windows installers (both 32 bit and 64 bit) under many circumstances not
acceptable config files. If you look at the bacula-fd.conf file, make

1) Make sure all the firmwares are up to date: the 1068E card, the tape

What you've hit on is something I've noted too... I'm thinking it would be
a nice tweak/enhancement to bacula if the pruning function was disabled on
restore jobs. Another case that could trigger it might be just restoring
from your oldest backup.

This issue got mostly eliminated with a contributor's code change in 5.0.3
(I can't remember who but this has been really helpful to me at least).
You'll notice the two numbers differ by exactly one, so somebody built a
patch to have it just fix the inconsistency and continue appending to the
