Hi there,
I'm relatively new to bacula but I'm slowly getting my head around
things,
Here is a quick summary of what I'm trying to do.
We have two boxes, the first box (portia) is dedicated to running the
bacula-director and storage daemon. The second box (pandora) is running
the client/file daemon.
The storage daemon (running on portia) is connected to an 8 slot auto
changer which is configured and works correctly. Each tape is 200GB
before compression.
On the second box (pandora) is a ~600 gig directory which gets larger by
~25 gig each month. These files don't get deleted or modified.
I am trying to setup an incremental bacula job to backup these files to
tape.
Here are my job and pool resources so far:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Job {
Name = "Daily_Archive_Job"
Client = pandora-fd
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
FileSet = "Archive"
Storage = Tape
Messages = Standard
Pool = "Daily_Archive_Pool"
Schedule = "Daily_Cycle"
Priority = 5
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/Daily_Archive_Job.bsr"
}
Pool {
Name = Daily_Archive_Pool
Pool Type = Backup
AutoPrune = no
Volume Retention = 99y
Recycle = no
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I run this job it stops after the tape is full and asks me to use
the label command to add another volume to the pool.
I ejected the tape, inserted a blank tape, labeled it and the job
started running again.
It appeared to write data for about 2 hours before giving me an error
about "Connection timed out".
The two servers are connected by crossover cable at 100 Mbps
Full-Duplex.
Does anyone have any suggestion where to go from here?
Much Appreciated,
