I have searched the web for some time, but haven't found any solution to this issue:
When multiple clients are backing up at the same time, the jobs won't finish before the first is done and all data is written to the database. We are spooling all the jobs to disk and this seems to be working just fine (multiple spool files, one for each client, is written to the spool directory). For our servers this isn't a big problem, but when for instance one client wants to backup a lot of data over a slow connection, the backup of our laptops won't finish in time. When the employee leaves from work and takes the laptop with him/her, their backup jobs is aborted due to the fact that their bacula-fd becomes unreachable. Is this a known problem? Any help is appreciated. :) We also have a problem with our PostgreSQL database. A full backup of our servers results in probably 50-70 GB of data, which is spooled quickly, but it takes about 12 hours of writing the metadata to the database. We tried to tune PostgreSQL, but had to turn off fsync to get the performance to a decent level. Yes, we know of the risk of doing this, so we are backup up our database twice aday. I guess that there should be other solutions to this problem since fsync is a wise thing to use if you care about your data. BTW: We're using Bacula 2.0.2 on FreeBSD with a Dell PowerVault 132T tape changer. -- Lars Preben Sørsdahl; +47 957 72 902; fax +47 22 33 60 24 Kongens gate 14; Boks 805 Sentrum, 0104 Oslo; http://www.conduct.no; mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Conduct AS - Professional J2EE Open Source JBoss Authorized Service Partner Technology, Training and Production Support ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
