But now I noticed another problem: during a migration job my drive stops quite often. The migration job finished with that message: 14-Mar 13:57 hugo-dir: The following 1 JobIds will be migrated: 3 14-Mar 13:57 hugo-dir: Migration using JobId=3 Job=zoii.2007-03-13_21.21.09 14-Mar 13:57 hugo-dir: Bootstrap records written to /var/spool/bacula/hugo-dir.restore.1.bsr 14-Mar 13:57 hugo-dir: 14-Mar 13:57 hugo-dir: The job will require the following Volume(s) Storage(s) SD Device(s) =========================================================================== 14-Mar 13:57 hugo-dir: 14-Mar 13:57 hugo-dir: Platte1-Freitag0001 BackupStorageWin BackupDev1 14-Mar 13:57 hugo-dir: 14-Mar 13:57 hugo-dir: Start Migration JobId 10, Job=freitag-tape.2007-03-14_13.57.54 14-Mar 13:58 hugo-sd: Ready to read from volume "Platte1-Freitag0001" on device "BackupDev1" (/backup/bacula-backups). 14-Mar 13:58 hugo-sd: Wrote label to prelabeled Volume "Freitag" on device "TapeDev" (/dev/rst0) 14-Mar 13:58 hugo-sd: Forward spacing Volume "Platte1-Freitag0001" to file:block 0:209. 14-Mar 18:21 hugo-sd: End of Volume at file 39 on device "BackupDev1" (/backup/bacula-backups), Volume "Platte1-Freitag0001" 14-Mar 18:21 hugo-sd: End of all volumes. 14-Mar 18:21 hugo-dir: Bacula 2.0.2 (28Jan07): 14-Mar-2007 18:21:14 Prev Backup JobId: 3 New Backup JobId: 11 Migration JobId: 10 Migration Job: freitag-tape.2007-03-14_13.57.54 Backup Level: Full Client: hugo-fd FileSet: "rootdir_bsd_home" 2007-03-13 21:20:21 Read Pool: "Platte1-Freitag" (From Job resource) Read Storage: "BackupStorageWin" (From user selection) Write Pool: "Tape-Freitag" (From Job Pool's NextPool resource) Write Storage: "BackupStorageTape" (From Storage from Pool's NextPool resource) Start time: 14-Mar-2007 13:58:00 End time: 14-Mar-2007 18:21:14 Elapsed time: 4 hours 23 mins 14 secs Priority: 10 SD Files Written: 2,159,801 SD Bytes Written: 168,088,680,253 (168.0 GB) Rate: 10642.6 KB/s Volume name(s): Freitag Volume Session Id: 1 Volume Session Time: 1173877051 Last Volume Bytes: 168,285,164,544 (168.2 GB) SD Errors: 0 SD termination status: OK Termination: Migration OK Sometimes the drive ran like for 10 minutes or so without stoping, sometimes it stopped and rewound every ten seconds. The transfer rate should also be 20MB/s or more, since compression is enabled but because of the stopping it dropped to 10MB/s. I am using a standard PC with 2 recent WesternDigital IDE-ATA harddrives, my Tapedrive (Tandberg LTO2) is connected to a SCSI Controller, the computer has 512 MB RAM, and a 2.8GHz Celeron CPU. During the migration no other jobs are running on the machine. Sometimes I noticed high database (PostgreSQL) activity. Could it have to do with the 2.1 million files for backup? Do you experience similar behavior? I am afraid that this could shorten my drives lifespan dramastically. Are there any setting to speed up the migration?
