Re: [Bacula-users] change FileSet name, where's the new filesetid?

Re: [Bacula-users] exabyte autochanger
Hi Maria,
On Wednesday 13 June 2007 writes Maria McKinley:
I recently updated to version 1.38.11-8, and I am having a hard time
getting my autochanger to work. I changed my bacula-sd.conf file so that
there is now an Autochanger:
Autochanger {
Name = Exabyte
Device = Drive-1
Changer Command = /etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d
Changer Device = /dev/sg0
}
Device {
Name = Drive-1
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = VXA-2
Archive Device = /dev/st0
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = yes;
AlwaysOpen = yes;
Autochanger = yes;
Alert Command = sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'
}
This seems to work fine with btape auto command, but if I try to label
from bconsole, I get the following:
*label barcodes
Automatically selected Storage: Exabyte
Connecting to Storage daemon Exabyte at dinah:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger slots command.
Device Exabyte has 0 slots.
No slots in changer to scan.
Any idea why I'm getting this?
please make shure that your changer device has the correct permissions eg.:
crw-rw root disk /dev/sg0
and for the potentially next problem ...
by your tapedrive device i'm unshure, i think this should /dev/nst0, i don't
know how its correct on exabyte tapes.
Normally the /dev/st* device makes a automatic rewind after write,
the /dev/nst* make no auto rewind. Bacula needs imho a non auto rewinding
device. You dosn't write wich OS you use, here are little differences between
the OSes.

[Bacula-users] Archive FileStorage is not open or does not exist
For some reason, my backups suddenly failed after I set up two storage
sections pointing at the same storage client (the idea was that one was
for clients to back up using the VPN and the order for clients to use
directly). I might have made some other changes as well.
My backup directory is an SMB mount owned by bacula and is writable. I
can create files in it by hand, even bacula can create a file when I run
label in the console.
My questions:
1. Below is the debug info. How do I determine why the device is not
visible to bacula? What could be going on here?
2. How do I re-initiase my bacula database (without wiping my backups).
I am on an ubuntu feisty system.
Thanks,
Pieter

Re: [Bacula-users] Compile Error building Bacula with MySQL andPostgreSql
Hello I solved the compilation problem my self. I triad to compile bacula with support for MySql AND PostgreSql which is not possible. You can have only one Database backend. My solution was to compile bacula twice with different prefixes, so that I can install bacula twice not compromise each other. I don't run both at the same time bat can switch between the to version easily. best regards Berner Martin Hello I use Bacula 1.38.9 on Sun Solaris in a productive environment. Cataloc-Backend is PostgreSql currently. But I think the bottleneck in Performance is Postgre. So I like to give MySql a try. Now I try to compile Bacula with Support for both Backend MySql and PostgrSql. I make a configure like this: ./configure --with-postgresql=/usr/local/pgsql --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql and a simple make afterwards.

[Bacula-users] ClientRunBeforeJob Performance Query
Hi all, I am performing 2 Jobs that use the ClientRunBefore feature at a specific client. The first Job is a State Backup (Win32) of about 8GB. The Second is a Exchange Backup of about 32GB. The State and Exchange Backups are performed using NTBackup on local an Bacula then grabs the completed BKF file. Both of these Jobs execute without a problem, but takes an incredibly log time to complete. (Reports Below) What I have noticed is that on a Backup Job where ClientRunBefore is not used the job would start and run at about 6MB/sec and keep the same performance all the way through. But with the jobs that use the ClientRunBefore feature the job starts at a few Kb/s and then gradually (an increase in speed of about 30KB/sec) builds speed until about 6MB/sec. I am just curious to know if anyone else have experienced a simmilar isssue or and if so, if there is a way around it?

Re: [Bacula-users] Includes in .conf files
Kyle Marsh wrote: Thanks all for your responses! Dave, I'm writing a python script that parses a text file containing information about the bacula install (working directory, install directory, director name, etc.) and another containing information about all the clients that I need to back up. It then creates a file with all the client and job definitions that get included in the bacula-dir.conf file. It also spits out a bacula-fd.conf for each client as well as creates and signs the certificates required for TLS. At the moment it's a very inflexible script -- I assume my own convention for the locations of the files and such. When I get it working, I'll see about parsing some command line arguments to tell it where to look for files and where to put things, and possibly make it a well behaved unix program (take input from stdin/send input to stdout if nothing is specified, etc) but so far it reads from and writes to specific files. If you'd like I'll send you (or the list, if others are interested) an e-mail when it's done. Should be this week or the next.

[Bacula-users] missing part on a DVD... why? what to do?
I've just recently been playing with bacula (2.0.3 in self-compiled rpms on fedora)... I have it working with DVDs and the situation in question as I can tell went like this: - it was backing up the main system. - I believe it tried to store the information in: BaculaDVD0009.8. - However, the disc doesn't actually contain that part, but the log shows success: 12-Jun 23:05 machine-sd: Ready to append to end of Volume BaculaDVD0009 part=8 size=3040970041 12-Jun 23:05 machine-sd: Job write elapsed time = 00:00:04, Transfer rate = 57.92 K bytes/second 12-Jun 23:05 machine-sd: Part 8 (233000 bytes) written to DVD. So the questions I have that I can't seem to answer via manuals nor via bconsoles interface is: 1) what happened... I doubt anyone can answer this. the disc is not full yet and mounting it shows about 3G in use: /dev/hda 2972194 2972194 0 100% /mnt/cdrom and the missing part was very small: FD Bytes Written: 228,657 (228.6 KB) SD Bytes Written: 231,716 (231.7 KB) 2) what to do about it? Choices are, I think: 2a) invalidate the whole volume 2b) somehow tell bacula that just that part is missing and to rewrite just that part... I can't find anywhere that the part number is actually stored though. I did a quick search of even the DB tables and came up blank. I don't believe this is user-editable data (which is fine). 3) how do I prevent this in the future? Doubt anyone can answer this either, since it would require answering (1) above. (I turned on tracing on the sd to figure out this problem and it finally pointed out that the next backup was failing because it tried to mount the disc and couldn't find BaculaDVD0009.8... I didn't have tracing on during the failure time though unfortunately) -- In the bathtub of history the truth is harder to hold than the soap, and much more difficult to find. -- Terry Pratchett - 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.

Re: [Bacula-users] Get Message About Different Filesystem
I have compiled bacula-fd on an HP-UX machine. When I went to run the director located on a Debian machine I get messages like /home is a different filesystem. Will not descend from / into /home I also get this message on /opt, /usr, /var, /stand. It was able to descend into /sbin, /etc. Any ideas as to why? Wait a second, gang. While I do see some replies that may (or may not) apply, I think there's something here that is more fundamental. Mike, most U**x systems are split up into a number of different volumes. This is done for a variety of reasons, both performance and security related. One of the biggest reasons is that root is the *ONLY* user who should have general write access to the top level volume. Yes, there may be minor exceptions such as /etc/tnsnames.ora. One major reason for this is that if the root filesystem fills up, unix systems tend to get very unhappy and start screaming at the system administrators. To avoid these problems, directories such as /var, /usr, /opt, etc. get their own dedicated disk space. If /opt fills up, yes, it's a problem, but it won't crash the box. Now, back to the original question. Backup systems tend to really pay attention to volume boundaries. This is exactly what Bacula is doing. It's letting you know that /usr, /var, /stand, etc. are on different volumes. /sbin and /etc are always part of the root volume, because they're required for single user mode operation, where none of the other volumes may be mounted or available. This really isn't an error, but it is letting you know that you do need to address the situation by either including these other mountpoints in include directives, or by using onefs (as a couple of other folks have kindly pointed out.)

[Bacula-users] Spooling data on Cloned jobs.
Hello, I have had Bacula spooling to disk so I could run multiple
backups at the same time with out interleaving on to a single tape. I
just recently enabled the job copy/clone feature so I could write the
same job to two different backups. However the cloned job do not spool
to disk, so they sit and wait for the storage device to be finish before
starting, so this pushes back all of our backups. So my question is, How
do I set the cloned jobs to spool to disk first?
There is nothing in the bacula manual that is specifically for data
spooling and cloned jobs. But what I infer is that if I move the
SpoolData=yes from my schedule def. to either the main job entry or
JobDefs, that would solve my problem, is that true, or is there another
way?
Here are my relevant config section of bacula-dir.conf

[Bacula-users] ClientRunBeforeJob Performance Query
Hello, It has nothing to do with Bacula having a problem, but is just math. Having a PhD in math would help, but it really doesn't require that much schooling. It is simple math of averages. If you are driving 1000 miles and after 1 minute you stop for 10 minutes, your average speed drops to almost nothing, then gently climbs up to almost the average speed that you would have if you did not stop. Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2007 09:23:18 +0200 From: Stephan Heine - [Genetic Interactive] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Bacula-users] ClientRunBeforeJob Performance Query To: Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi all, I am performing 2 Jobs that use the ClientRunBefore feature at a specific client. The first Job is a State Backup (Win32) of about 8GB. The Second is a Exchange Backup of about 32GB. The State and Exchange Backups are performed using NTBackup on local an Bacula then grabs the completed BKF file. Both of these Jobs execute without a problem, but takes an incredibly log time to complete. (Reports Below) What I have noticed is that on a Backup Job where ClientRunBefore is not used the job would start and run at about 6MB/sec and keep the same performance all the way through. But with the jobs that use the ClientRunBefore feature the job starts at a few Kb/s and then gradually (an increase in speed of about 30KB/sec) builds speed until about 6MB/sec. I am just curious to know if anyone else have experienced a simmilar isssue or and if so, if there is a way around it?

Will not descend from / into /home I also get this message on /opt, /usr, /var, /stand. It was able to descend into /sbin, /etc. Any ideas as to why? Wait a second, gang. While I do see some replies that may (or may not) apply, I think there's something here that is more fundamental. Mike, most U**x systems are split up into a number of different volumes. This is done for a variety of reasons, both performance and security related. One of the biggest reasons is that root is the *ONLY* user who should have general write access to the top level volume. Yes, there may be minor exceptions such as /etc/tnsnames.ora. One major reason for this is that if the root filesystem fills up, unix systems tend to get very unhappy and start screaming at the system administrators. To avoid these problems, directories such as /var, /usr, /opt, etc. get their own dedicated disk space. If /opt fills up, yes, it's a problem, but it won't crash the box. Now, back to the original question. Backup systems tend to really pay attention to volume boundaries. This is exactly what Bacula is doing. It's letting you know that /usr, /var, /stand, etc. are on different volumes. /sbin and /etc are always part of the root volume, because they're required for single user mode operation, where none of the other volumes may be mounted or available. This really isn't an error, but it is letting you know that you do need to address the situation by either including these other mountpoints in include directives, or by using onefs (as a couple of other folks have kindly pointed out.)

Re: [Bacula-users] FTP Sync
You can use the bacula-fd on the windows client and setup the bufallo external storage as an NFS mount on your bacula-DIR/bacuala-SD system. You cannot bacula-sd directly to the Buffalo NAS, unless you hack it, which may not be a bad idea if its running Linux. Best to just tear the drive out of it and mount it locally. Or have a direct cross-over between the SD machine and the Terrastation ~BAS On Fri, 2007-06-01 at 14:14 -0400, ashok shah wrote: I have tried other FTP sync softwares.. and Pulling Data from the server runs at 11.6MB/sec (via gigabit LAN on the same SWITCH), the connection times out frequently, but it works.. -- Brian A.

[Bacula-users] Messages Directive (Create File job is completed)
I have read the documentation and it specifies that I can create a file when
the files are saved normally by doing the following in the file daemon on
the machine being backed up but no file is created.
Messages {
Name = Standard
director = nmc-sdca-mon1-dir = all, !skipped, !restored
file = /opt/bacula/working/status_bu = saved
}
What I want to be is to have the file daemon, if possible, create a file in
the working director when the backup has been completed.
Any ideas?
Mike

It might be that the part file in question still is in your temporary storage directory. Do you have Write Part After Job set in the job definition? So the questions I have that I can't seem to answer via manuals nor via bconsoles interface is: 1) what happened... I doubt anyone can answer this. At least no easily... the disc is not full yet and mounting it shows about 3G in use: /dev/hda 2972194 2972194 0 100% /mnt/cdrom and the missing part was very small: FD Bytes Written: 228,657 (228.6 KB) SD Bytes Written: 231,716 (231.7 KB) I did experience problems with small part files myself and think that, for (some) DVD writers, a session has to have certain minimum size. No hard facts, though, that's just what I observed quite a while ago. My workaround (or rather the one I implemented for my customer) was to set Write Part after Job to No for all jobs except the BackupCatalog one. Like this, All normal jobs would have a good chance to get written correctly, and only the Catalog backup was in danger of ending up corrupted. 2) what to do about it? Choices are, I think: 2a) invalidate the whole volume 2b) somehow tell bacula that just that part is missing and to rewrite just that part... Yes, look for the part file in the spooling directory you set up for the DVD storage device. I can't find anywhere that the part number is actually stored though. I did a quick search of even the DB tables and came up blank. I don't believe this is user-editable data (which is fine). Well, user-editable is a term that can be stretched a bit :-) But you are right, the part file informatio is not stored anywhere in the catalog. 3) how do I prevent this in the future? Doubt anyone can answer this either, since it would require answering (1) above. Well, Write Part After Job is my only suggestion here... and, of course, closely observing things, running SD and DIR with debug logging, and eventually, if this repeats, filing a bug report. (I turned on tracing on the sd to figure out this problem and it finally pointed out that the next backup was failing because it tried to mount the disc and couldn't find BaculaDVD0009.8...

[Bacula-users] Automated eject and automated mount of tapes
Unfortumately I cannot access the mail archive and censequently I cannot find out whether the answer has already been given. I have a DDS-3 DAT and it should eject as soon as a new tape is requested and the new tape should be mounted automatically. I have a configuration that does all this except that it does not read the fresh tape correctly. The tape is correctly ejected and the drive is then polled at intervals. The new tape is then actually detected but then the storage daemon falls into a status 'Device DDS-2 (/dev/nst0) open but no Bacula volume is currently mounted.'. But it actually _is_ a bacula volume and a simple mount in bconsole makes the job continue. What is the correct combination of configurations to accomplish this - if possible at all? I found some mails addressing versions 1.31 or 1.38 but I am using 2.0.3... Best Regards, Martin This is my config: Automatic Mount = yes; # when device opened, read it Label Media = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media Always Open = no; Volume Poll Interval = 5m Close on Poll= Yes; Removable Media = yes; Random Access = no; Maximum Open Wait = 3d # 3 days in seconds Offline On Unmount = Yes; # keep this too - 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.

On the machine I had working previously with this tape drive and an earlier version of bacula (1.36), udev was also not installed, but again the config files were there, so it seems some other package is using and installing these config files. Weirder still, the permissions on the old machine are: crw-rw 1 bacula bacula 9, 128 Nov 4 2001 /dev/nst0 crw--- 1 bacula bacula 21, 0 Nov 4 2001 /dev/sg0 But there is no script in /etc/udev to set this, so I'm not sure how it got set, but it does tell me that permissions are almost certainly the problem. Additionally, mtx and and mt-st work from the command line, and btape has no problem with the auto test, so I almost certainly Falk is right, and it is a bacula permission problem. I'm still not entirely sure what to do about it. Since udev isn't actually installed, I'm not sure what to restart to read my script. Seems like something should be reading the udev config files, since I didn't put the default ones there, so some package must have. I'd rather not reboot this machine, but I will if no one knows, and then I can see if the permissions were updated. But how on earth did this get set in my previous installation without a script in udev? thanks for everyone's help! cheers, maria - 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.

I know the -fd does the initial compression, but the decompression I'm not so sure about. The destination -fd? The -sd? Perhaps this will get the ball rolling.

First some general remarks:
- check the return value of malloc()
Not necessary, malloc() is #defined to be bmalloc(), which aborts if it is
out
of memory.
- keys are restricted to strings. it would be easy to extend this
to arbitrary data by adding a size field.
Yes, good idea, though I don't immediately see a need to handle anything
other
than strings within Bacula.
- IMHO %p is prefered for printing pointer variables.
Yes, but it was not portable. We now have our own Bacula printf code which
is
portable and supports %p, so I've been converting the old stuff when I am in
the file. Clearly this is a good file to attack.
--- htable.h
struct hlink {
void *next;/* next hash item */
why not struct hlink *next?
Good question -- I think you are right. I'll try it and see if anything
complains ...
char *key; /* key this item */
uint32_t hash; /* hash for this key */
};
class htable : public SMARTALLOC {
hlink **table; /* hash table */
int loffset; /* link offset in item */
see below.
uint32_t num_items;/* current number of items */
uint32_t max_items;/* maximum items before growing */
see below.
uint32_t buckets; /* size of hash table */
uint32_t hash; /* temp storage */
uint32_t index;/* temp storage */
uint32_t mask; /* remainder mask */
uint32_t rshift; /* amount to shift down */
hlink *walkptr;/* table walk pointer */
This is only used in first() and next(). IMHO the code would be
more readable if this were local to these two methods and
mext() would take a pointer to the predecessor.
I think what you are suggesting is possible, and I will take a look at it.
However, it leads to several problems:
1. walkptr and walk_index are then no longer treated the same, and IMO that
will make it harder to read the code. I.e. there are 2 pieces of information
that would have to be returned and then passed into next().
2. There will be additional code necessary to adjust the pointer on entry,
which I currently avoid by keeping walkptr in the class.
3. It complicates the user code in that it must pass the old pointer to the
next() routine and if it is symmetric also walk_index.
uint32_t walk_index; /* table walk index */
same here.
As with the above, that will complicate the problem by returning it to the
higher level program. The user program really shouldn't need to know
anything about walkptr or walk_index as they are simply the means to traverse
a hash list in linear order without using recursion (I have never seen such
code anywhere), so IMO, returning them to the higher level routine breaks the
encapsulation of the code.
void hash_index(char *key);/* produce hash key,index */
void grow_table(); /* grow the table */
public:
htable(void *item, void *link, int tsize = 31);
~htable() { destroy(); }
void init(void *item, void *link, int tsize = 31);
bool insert(char *key, void *item);
void *lookup(char *key);
void *first(); /* get first item in table */
void *next(); /* get next item in table */
void destroy();
void stats(); /* print stats about the table */
uint32_t size(); /* return size of table */
};
htable.c
/*
* Create hash of key, stored in hash then
* create and return the pseudo random bucket index
*/
void htable::hash_index(char *key)
{
hash = 0;
for (char *p=key; *p; p++) {
hash += (hash 3) + (uint32_t)*p;
}
This ist just shifting and multiplication with the bytes in key. I
would expect this hash to have quite some unneccessary collisions
when used on strings, though I'm by no means an expert in this area.
If I am not mistaken, this is a *very* common technique. The most common
algorithm shifts by 5 rather than 3, but if I remember right my tests showed
that 3 was better -- at least with the filenames on my system.
I think I know why 3 is better -- it manages to encode the final 32/3 chars
instead of the final 32/5 :-) Shifting is
[Bacula-users] Double backup
Hello all, I have to configure a Bacula 2.0.3/Debian Etch so that it does two independent backup schedules: the first has disk files as storage, the second has a DVD unit. The backup policies should be: * for disk files, full once, then incremental until there's space on disk * for DVDs, full monthly, diff weekly, incremental daily. The two backup methods should be independent of each other, so if a file foobar.txt was modified during the last day, a copy of it should end up both on disk files and on DVD next night. Moreover the incremental and differential relations between backups must take into account only previous backups on the same media type, so if foobar.txt was changed yesterday and backed up on files last night but not on DVD, it should be backed up on DVD next night even if no one touched it today (that is even if the most recent version is altready backed up on a different media type). Maybe there is a single word to say all those things toghether, only I don't know which is... Now for the questions: 1. will I obtain that by simply defining schedules and jobs in bacula-dir.conf that point to different storage daemons? 2. how do I tell do incremental until there is space on disk?

Re: [Bacula-users] Automated eject and automated mount of tapes
Martin Schmid wrote:
I have a DDS-3 DAT and it should eject as soon as a new tape is
requested and the new tape should be mounted automatically.
I have a configuration that does all this except that it does not read
the fresh tape correctly. The tape is correctly ejected and the drive is
then polled at intervals. The new tape is then actually detected but
then the storage daemon falls into a status 'Device DDS-2 (/dev/nst0)
open but no Bacula volume is currently mounted.'. But it actually _is_ a
bacula volume and a simple mount in bconsole makes the job continue.
What is the correct combination of configurations to accomplish this -
if possible at all? I found some mails addressing versions 1.31 or 1.38
but I am using 2.0.3...
I have a similar config that works for me, with 1.38 I used it on a DDS4
drive, but now I'm using it with an LTO2.
This is my config:
Automatic Mount = yes; # when device opened, read it
Label Media = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Always Open = no;
Volume Poll Interval = 5m
Close on Poll= Yes;
Removable Media = yes;
Random Access = no;
Maximum Open Wait = 3d # 3 days in seconds
Offline On Unmount = Yes; # keep this too
The only obvious difference I see with my config is that I have Always
Open = Yes--in case I've missed something, here is my device description:
Device {
Name = LTO2
Media Type = LTO2
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
Changer Device = /dev/sg0
Automatic Mount = Yes
Always Open = Yes
Volume Poll Interval = 3 min
Close On Poll = Yes
Offline On Unmount = Yes
Removable Media = Yes
Random Access = No
Maximum Job Spool Size = 21474836480
Maximum Block Size = 262144
Maximum Network Buffer Size = 262144
Spool Directory = /backup/bacula/spool
Alert Command = sh -c 'smartctl -H -l error %c'
Label Media = Yes
}
The block size and network buffer size settings should be completely
irrelevant--I did them to try to improve write performance (and at this
point it is unclear if it helps). I specify the changer device even
though I don't have a changer just to make the Alert Command work--or so
I recall--I don't actually have an LTO changer.
For me at least, this works as you suggest--if a tape is ejected either
during a job due to a full, error or wrong tape condition, then when the
correct tape is inserted it will just work. On the other hand, if I
explicitly unmount a tape, it will eject, but I'll have to explicitly
mount the correct tape later.
Hope this helps,

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula reads disk pages atomically? (bdb question)
On Tue, 12 Jun 2007 14:14:56 -0700, Ross Boylan said: The Berkeley Database apparently requires that hot backups read disk pages atomically. They note that most system cp commands do so; I've searched the manual, FAQ, and newsgroups, but can't find how bacula operates when reading a file. Does anyone know if I can count on the reads taking whole pages? Generally, no. Specifically, possibly, at least if the page size is a factor of 65536, you don't set sparse=yes, the OS guarantees that a call to read(2) with a page aligned size will do it and also the network allows it. In these cases, it looks like the current read size equals the network buffer size (see Maximum Network Buffer Size). You could try using strace to see what bacula-fd is doing in practice. __Martin - 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.

[Bacula-users] Windows Server-Client wont use gzip
Hi all,
I've searched for a solution for this but haven't found anything
I have the windows version (2.0.3) of the server and client installed on
seperate machines, my fileset option specifies that i want compression
used but the backups refuse to use compression
I'm backing up to a file, below are the job and fileset configs
Job {
Name = Slimchunks_Current
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = slimchunks_win-fd
FileSet = d_current
Schedule = NightlyIncremental
Storage = File
Messages = Standard
Pool = Default
}
FileSet {
Name = d_current
Enable VSS = no
Include {
Options {
Exclude = yes
WildFile = *.RUN
}
Options {
compression = gzip
signature = MD5
portable = yes
}
File = h:/data_D/current
}
Apart from no compression the backup works fine.
The binary directories contains the zlib1.dll
Am i missing something? Is this a bug?
Regards

Re: [Bacula-users] Windows Server-Client wont use gzip
Hold that question, i just redid the job after a full purge and reload
of servers with the below configuration and it worked fine
Originally i had the compression option set first
Does this mean its an Optio FIFO issue?

I've searched for a solution for this but haven't found anything
I have the windows version (2.0.3) of the server and client installed on
seperate machines, my fileset option specifies that i want compression
used but the backups refuse to use compression
I'm backing up to a file, below are the job and fileset configs
Job {
Name = Slimchunks_Current
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = slimchunks_win-fd
FileSet = d_current
Schedule = NightlyIncremental
Storage = File
Messages = Standard
Pool = Default
}
FileSet {
Name = d_current
Enable VSS = no
Include {
Options {
Exclude = yes
WildFile = *.RUN
}
Options {
compression = gzip
signature = MD5
portable = yes
}
File = h:/data_D/current
}
Apart from no compression the backup works fine.
The binary directories contains the zlib1.dll
Am i missing something? Is this a bug?
Regards
