Hey guys,
I thought it an artifact last week that the spooler directory was "blown away"
while having trouble with the tape backup job. It happened again last night
without any other apparent issues.
The first clients files were spooled to /tmp/BUspool directory then put onto
tape. The next client tried to spool files to the same directory but it was
gone and the job failed as did the subsequent client backups. For the record,
the only difference between the daily and weekly backups is that the Dailies
are incrementals stored to disk while the weekly is a full backup to tape. All
jobs use the /tmp/BUspool directory to spool the jobs despite the settings in
bacula-sd.conf (see below).
I guess I have two questions:
1) Why is the BUspool folder getting "blown away" on spooled tape backups? and
2) How is it the disk-to-disk backups know to spool to the BUspool directory?
