Re: [Bacula-users] Automatic FTP after a group of backup jobs have been run
There is an easier way to do it, just make sure that certain job always runs last. I did something similar with encryption (before it existed in Bacula) using RunAfterJob command placed in BackupCatalog job Just make sure that 1 - priority is the lowest (highest integer number) of all jobs 2 - Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1 3 - RunAfterJob = /etc/bacula/whatever_script.sh 4 - Edit /etc/bacula/whatever_script.sh to your liking. Use FTP or even better SCP/SFTP to copy the data over to another server. Make sure these protocols support large file transfers (compiled with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 Cflag), otherwise the max transfer limit will be 2 Gig. BTW, instead of using BackupCatalog job, you could create an admin job with same settings as above, I believe it is covered in the manual. Good luck James Harper wrote: So what I'm after is something that will firstly only run once all the nightly backups are done. I can do a time based best-guess on when the backups will have been completed by, but that feels a little kludgy. I could attach a 'run-after' to the job that I think will run last, but I don't know if that is deterministic? Finally, I could have a cron job that kicks off some time around when the backup will probably end, and makes sure that the latest backup file is not in use (fuser) and has not changed over a (say) 5 minute interval. After it has established that the backup has definitely completed, it would then ftp the file up to the NAS. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Bacula-users] way too large incremental backup...
Hello, I'm using Bacula 2.2.6 : I have the main client (linux) that is incrementing 50Gb per day ! Out of a possible 270GB for a full backup... Every day, there are over 400.000 files being saved, even during weekends... We have modified the fileset to include only office/pics/pdf filetypes, we have gained 9Gb... but this is still not what we're expecting. The files are rsynced from distant sites to a central backup, and bacula is installed a as client on this central backup (so we can get the full/inc/diff backups on LAN). The combined daily upload (from rsync stats) is way below 50Gb. So I've got two questions : 1) How does Bacula check file mods ? Do I have to do something special with rsync (flag/option/...) ? 2) Is there a way to show the list of files being saved from a job/client ? Thanks in advance and Merry Xmas to everybody !

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula Compression
The compression project was abandoned, but in theory it should not be hard to create. GZIP is OK, but there are better things out there now like rk, rar and 7z Diego Roccia wrote: Hi all, a question: is there a way to implement other compression methods (like lzo) in bacula?

One of the variations of the estimate command should give you what you need. If you need it after the fact, the query command has an option for that (or you could query the database yourself with the SQL that is in query.sql or something similar).

Within bconsole, you can use list files jobid=NNN where NNN is the jobid that last ran. I wouldn't think that rsynced files would be a problem, at least if you weren't doing anything odd. -- 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: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula Compression
I think that LZMA would definitely be a nice addition to bacula (which is used by the 7z format) to compress the data. -Michael - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula Reporting System
If it matters to anyone, I use a PHP script as my mail program to capture stdin and send it to the admins, while a nicer looking email is sent to our clients. This way I can link my bacula database with table full of client information such email addresses and proper nouns.
