Have you tried the "status client" and "status storage" commands in bconsole? They give some indication of files and bytes processed. > FYI: my logs are filled with this message, repeated every second: > > 31-Oct 09:58 Scalar-i40 JobId 28: Writing spooled data to Volume. > Despooling 129,048 bytes ... > 31-Oct 09:58 Scalar-i40 JobId 28: Despooling elapsed time = 00:00:01, > Transfer rate = 129.0 K Bytes/second > 31-Oct 09:58 Scalar-i40 JobId 28: Spooling data again ... Is the "bytes" always as low as 129,048? If so, then it looks like you have misconfigured MaximumSpoolSize or MaximumJobSpoolSize or the spool disk is full. > In my opinion, the fact that the spooler is working and doing it's job > isn't something that needs to be logged.

The "status client" includes information about which file is currently being read. __Martin _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
