Re: [Bacula-users] Win2k Automated Upgrade from 1.3x to 2.0
I've been looking for a way to automate the setup on xp workstations as well. After some fifteen tries to install and uninstall bacula in various ways i've decided to go the with the merest: 1. stop the service 2. replace the binary files 3. start the service again. as far as i've tested this, it works completely fine, and you do not have to play with nullsoft installers. I would like however to add some comments on the installers. Installer (as well as uninstaller) shows way to much messages which do not require any reaction form the user. For instance, why do we need that service was successfully installed (removed) message? I believe there should only be one saying, that service install failed, in case that happens. If (un)installer wouldn't have this irritating feature, it'd be easy to push new versios using the original installers, since the /S switch takes care of pretty much all the rest. Regards, Mantas. Does anyone have any scripts to push updates to clients on Windows 2000 network? OR alternatively, does Bacula-2.0.1.exe has any command line switches to help to automate deployment? If, nothing exists, I will write batch or bash script to do it. BTW - I did see the script to update existing 1.3x installs, but since the 2.0 is quite different, it will not work.

Re: [Bacula-users] Win2k Automated Upgrade from 1.3x to 2.0
Thanks, Michel that explains why the message is shown regardless of the /S switch. It's sad, though, that this issue was overlooked, as it is a real bug for those, who use bacula in large windows based environments. Mantas.

Re: [Bacula-users] Magic don't descend into this directory-files

For the others who suggest Bacula becoming aware of special file names to stop recursion, the answer is no. Bacula administration is all maintained in the Director. However, for those who *really* want such features, the Bacula administrator can implement it as shown above, which is perfectly OK with me and also very visible for the user.

[Bacula-users] Possible missing SD Device resource configuration options
Hi all, I just upgraded to 2.0 and have been going through my configuration files (converting to per-client Devices). I noticed a couple definitions in my old 1.38 Device {} sections that are not mentioned in the manual. The first is Automatic Mount, is this still valid (was it ever? am I crazy?)? The other is mentioned in Basic Volume Management but not in the SD Device page: Label Media. Is this still valid? I get no errors currently from including them, so I figure I'll copy them over just to be safe, but maybe the manual needs to be updated. Josh - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Hi Peter, I could be wrong, but I *think* that is the same problem I experienced when I updated to 2.0.1. Once a job began, my autochanger would not load the tape it needed.

[Bacula-users] DVD+RW vs DVD-RAM for incremental daily backups
I have a question about DVD+RW vs. DVD-RAM. I read through the archives but I didn't see anything comparing DVD+RW vs DVD-RAM. Here's my plan: a) DVD+RW or DVD-RAM for incremental daily backups. I am planning on at least 7 disks so I can extend the lifetime of the media. DVD-RAM would last longer and I like the hardware verification. b) DVD+R for archiving weekly and full backups. Probably dual layer for full backups and single layer for weekly. I don't think I'll generate much more data than that. Will DVD+R, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM all work fine when I need multiple disks for each task? If a weekly backup needs 3 disks, will that be okay? Similarly for the other tasks. Is there any different setup you would recommend? I looked into tape drives but they are so expensive for the tapes and drives. Right now I'm leaning towards DVD+RW and DVD+R because I know it's supported according to the bacula manual. Has anyone used DVD-RAM with the hardware verification? I'm not sure how to turn that on/off in Linux since it's just treated as a hard drive. According to the wikipedia entry, it will take about twice as long to write. I'm only concerned with backing up a single system (linux 2.6.18) but will soon be interested in at least 1 more. Thanks. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Yes, it should work, but I must admit I haven't tried it seriously since the first 1.39 versions. Has anyone used DVD-RAM DVD-RAM should usually be used just like a removable disk, i.e. insert disk, create filesystem, use, unmount.

I I'm not sure I would use the capacity though. It's about $8 per disk for a Verbatim double sided DVD-RAM disk (9.4 GB) in a cartridge. Going the tape route would cost far, far more wouldn't it? prefer tape or, if offsite storage and the ability to endlessly add storage count less than speed (and price) disk. I'm not concerned about speed of a tape vs DVD. I am price conscious at this point though. My old (unfortunate) method was a full backup every 6 months with no incremental backups. I'm now looking at using bacula for daily backups and weekly/monthly full backups. I had a tape drive on an older computer and never used it. It's capacity is so small compared to today's hard drives. It seems to me that by the time I would want to replace DVD-RAM disks, I would be ready to upgrade my tape drive to support larger capacity tapes. By the time I'm ready to replace the DVD-RAM disks, I could be buying blu-ray or hd-dvd or whatever is sufficiently cheap at the time. Let me know if any of this is wrong. :) I like the bacula manual as far as setting everything up. It looks clear how all the parts integrated and how to write a config file for each part. What's not clear is what backup media to choose and what kind of backup strategies people use. with the hardware verification?

[Bacula-users] MaxWaitTime and MaxStartDelay
Since updating to 2.0.0, MaxWaitTime and MaxStartDelay aren't working for me. The config is: Job { Name = Nightly Type = Backup Level = Full Client = ** FileSet = FullBackup Messages = Standard Storage = ExternalDisk Pool = Daily Schedule = Nightly Max Start Delay = 1800 Max Wait Time = 300 } And should mean that it should wait up to 5 minutes to put the media in. It starts out of hours, so if the media isn't in then, it won't be inserted until morning. It was Australia Day yesterday, so the USB disk didn't get attached. The backup started at 22:00, and is still waiting for media... any suggestions? status dir: Running Jobs: Console connected at 27-Jan-07 13:16 JobId Level Name Status == 22 FullNightly.2007-01-26_22.00.00 is waiting for a mount request It used to work fine in 1.38.
