Firstly, it's perfectly normal that hardware compression rate drops when
dealing with encrypted data. Compression ratio depends heavily on
entropy of input data and good encryption assures uniform distribution
of encrypted data so there's no point in compressing data _after_

I somehow missed the original email.
I suspect that with many many small files you're mostly limited by the
source filesystem (and whole system) performance more than sheer backup.
Regardless of what the method of deciding whether the file needs backing
up, its metadata still have to be read

In case of multi-location setup you need to think about ways of limiting
access and connection direction.
I have a "reverse" setup - I needed passive clients so I can initiate
connections from director/sd _to_ fd. You might need the opposite, as I
see, so it's pretty standard.

You can query the database for media details. You can get both the used
capacity and overall capacity in bytes and blocks but be aware that you
need to take into account also the status of the volume. You can only
write more jobs to the tape if it's in "Append" status.

Hello there.
I've been using Bareos for backups for quite some time at home. At the
moment I have a Gigabyte Brix box with 4G RAM and external USB-connected
swappable disks set up with vchanger so I have off-line backups.
Everything runs great.
But.
The Brix started failing lately and I'm

Hi Spadajspadaj,
maybe a hacky solution, but would work: only start the fd on the
laptop, when you want to run a backup? (Or auto-start it, when the
laptop is up for >2h and no video conference software was started, etc.?)

Hello there.
I'm wondering if there is any less-intrusive option for backing up
"interminnently connected" hosts (like my wife's laptop :-)).
At first I had a static schedule which would backup the client every day
at 9am or so.
That of course would make backups skipped if the laptop was
The point of spooling is to mainain constant rate of data for the
storage device (even if it's done in bursts). It works best for jobs
that have low effective transfer speed (for example - for incremental

changes - the job
