OK. There is more to this than just bareos. 1. I used the script from this thread and it seems to be working relatively well for backing up (I'm yet to test the restore part ;-)) the disk. I don't know, however how to backup whole mountpoint. If I put the location of my

2024-01-07 Thread spadaj...@gmail.com
As a followup of my earlier ideas about restoring a windows system I tried today launching bareos-fd off of WinPE environment. Generally - it seem to be working relatively OK (haven't tried full restore yet though). But for now the only way to get a windows FD to such WinPE instance is to

I'm sure I'm not the first to think about it but I don't even have a good idea how to look for any earlier questions. I have an SD server which uses vchanger. In my case it's configured along with automounter so I can simply replace a disk and I have fresh batch of file devices (I don't create

Two things: 1) Client-initiated connections 2) Run On Incoming Connect Interval = within the job definition And you're good to go. If your laptop or whatever powers up, connects to bareos server and it notices that last backup job was more than predefined time ago, it starts new backup

Let's say that the upgrade proces is more or less independent from the move from one server to another. You can do the upgrade before moving the bareos installation or after - it's your call. The move is not that complicated as long as you know your configuration and know your database (don't

I had a similar project once few years ago. I cannot post the detailed solution due to legal restrictions but I can describe the general idea. The situation was that a piece of software running on a server would create archive files in a given directory. Those files were to be archived in

Bareos uses a script called mtx-changer (probably located in /usr/lib/bareos/scripts) which in turn calls mtx. You can check mtx-changer log (/var/log/bareos/mtx.log) and/or try to manually run mtx manually to see if mtx itself runs ok. On Sunday, February 21, 2021 at 6:38:31 PM UTC+1
