Yep...

Also, when you make these types of configuration changes to a pool which
affect volumes, after running the "update pool" command in bconsole, you can
apply these settings to all volumes in all pools that were modified with:

* update volume fromallpools


Hope this helps!

Best regards,

Bill

I wonder if you have to run "update volume maxvolbytes=NNN" in bconsole
in order for it to apply to existing volume. I'm pretty sure "Maximum
Volume Bytes = 4980736" worked on 5.x here (I'm on v.7 now).

I just did - unfortunately, with no effect. After restarting the
director and letting the backup job run manually, the backup file just
got even bigger.

I'm rather reluctant to use software "outside" of my distribution's
repository. I /could/ upgrade from Debian Jessie to Debian Stretch,
which would come with Bacula v7.4.4, but since this update will cause a
lot of work because of other interdependencies (independent of Bacula),
I'm postponing this for the moment.

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian, try to change the

Maximum Volume Bytes = 500MB

To

Maximum Volume Bytes = 5

I also recommend to upgrade to version 9.x

[Bacula-users] Backup to file, filesize limit not working

[Sebastian Suchanek]

Hi all!

Currently, I'm trying to set up and getting familiar with Bacula.
(v5.2.6 - that's the version that comes with my Linux distribution
Debian Jessie.)

For making backups of the Bacula catalog, I've made the following
configurations:

- bacula-sd.conf --
[...]
Device {
  Name = FileStorage
  Media Type = File
  Archive Device = /srv/bacula/file
  LabelMedia = yes
  Random Access = yes
  AutomaticMount = yes
  RemovableMedia = no
  AlwaysOpen = no
}
[...]
---

- bacula-dir.conf -
[]
Job {
  Name = "BackupCatalog"
  JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
  Level = Full
  FileSet="Catalog"
  Schedule = "WeeklyCycleAfterBackup"
  RunBeforeJob = "/etc/bacula/scripts/make_catalog_backup.pl MyCatalog"
  RunAfterJob  = "/etc/bacula/scripts/delete_catalog_backup"
  Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/%n.bsr"
  Priority = 11
}

Schedule {
  Name = "WeeklyCycleAfterBackup"
  Run = Full sun-sat at 20:10
}

FileSet {
  Name = "Catalog"
  Include {
Options {
  signature = MD5
}
File = "/var/lib/bacula/bacula.sql"
  }
}

Storage {
  Name = File
  Address = localhost
  SDPort = 9103
  Password = "xIOrJZDj98rAAfP3S_dN8ipaa6RbxCkV9"
  Device = FileStorage
  Media Type = File
}

Pool {
  Name = File
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
  Volume Retention = 365 days
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 500MB
  Maximum Volumes = 10
  LabelFormat = "file"
}
---

With this configuration, I would expect that Bacula writes the jobs to a
file "file" in /srv/bacula/file and, as soon as this file's size
reaches 500MB, creates a new file and continues with that. (Up to ten
files.) But instead, Bacula keeps writing to a single file, which
currently has grown to around 690MB, IOW well above 500MB.
What's going wrong here? How can I make Bacula create a new file once
the current file's size has reached 500MB?


Regards

Sebastian
