[bareos-users] Bareos makes full backup instead of differential.

Hello! I have a problem with Bareos backups. He makes a full backup in less than 2 days, although he should do a differential one. There are two Synology NAS hosting shared folders. For their backup, I deployed a server on Debian 10 and Bareos of the latest version of Community. Mounted the

Re: [bareos-users] Maximum Volume Bytes for Ultrium LTO-7 tape

Hi, That's right, don't use any Maximum Volume Bytes. All my LTO-7 tapes are a bit different, sometimes it backupe's 6T, sometimes 8.5T. If you need some config files, let me know. Regards, Birgit On 25/12/20 19:57, 'Frank Cherry' via bareos-users wrote: Thanks for the information, I will pla

Thanks for the information, I will play with some test backups and see, also install sg_utils and check. Thanks a lot, Frank bro...@mlds-networks.com schrieb am Freitag, 25. Dezember 2020 um 19:18:08 UTC+1: > Found the command it’s > > sg_logs -a > sg_logs -a /dev/sg5 > > > Data compression

Found the command it’s sg_logs -a sg_logs -a /dev/sg5 Data compression page (LTO-5 specific) [0x32] Read compression ratio x100: 109 Write compression ratio x100: 100 You can see I’m not compressing at all because I’m doing client side compression (backing up over home networks) You ca

Re: [bareos-users] Maximum Volume Bytes for Ultrium LTO-7 tape

Also compression look up the mt commands. But most are on by default. Only encryption is anything you need to mess with in bareos. Again if doing client compression you won’t see much if any on the tape side. If your not you should see it. You can verify how much compression your getting two w

Re: [bareos-users] Maximum Volume Bytes for Ultrium LTO-7 tape

I wouldn’t bother. Modern LTO drives (any made in lay 10 years) auto detect end of volume. I do t use this setting at all with my two drives and it auto sorts it out. This is important because the 15T quoted assumes compression of a given ratio. That can very drastically. If you use client si

[bareos-users] Maximum Volume Bytes for Ultrium LTO-7 tape

Hello there, I'm storing on Ultrium 7 LTO tapes with a single drive unit. It is right, to set in the pool config the Maximum Volume Bytes = 15000G # Limit Volume size to something reasonable to 15000G ? The tape is specified with 6 / 15 TB (uncompressed / compressed) Is the tape d

Thanks Spadajspadaj, You're absolutely right, I haven't read the docs carefully. With your useful hints, the test backup was successful. Thanks also for your opinion about placing the command into a file, placed on the client. This would be a good solution for database backup on the next step abou

Re: [bareos-users] Execute script in FileSet

First of all, you didn't the docs carefully. If you say 'File = "|command"', said command will be run by the director, on the director machine and - what's important if it's the same machine - in the context of bareos-dir user. So if you want to run the comand on the client, you have to give

[bareos-users] Execute script in FileSet

Hello there, my goal is, to backup only files, created of today. This is my FileSet: FileSet { Name = "Storage1PVE" Description = "PVE backups from GlusterFS" Include { Options { Signature = MD5 # calculate md5 checksum per file Compression = LZ4 noatime = yes }
