[Bacula-users] How to tell Bacula to use new tape for Archiving
I frequently have to archive data off the server that should never expire. I would like to archive this data onto a new tape, so the archived data is the only thing on the tape. How do I tell Bacula to do this? I think it has something to do with the Pools, so below is my bacula-dir.conf.

I am currently using version 2.4.2 on OpenSUSE 11.1 (x86_64), and would like to upgrade to 3.0, but I don't want to recompile from source. OpenSUSE 11.1 still only includes bacula 2.4. Are there any 3.0 RPMs? The OpenSUSE build service usually has newer RPMs, but even there I only found the bacula 3.0 client but no binary RPMs for the server. There are 3.0.2 rpms for Suse 11.1 in SourceForge under rpms-contrib-psheaffer.

[Bacula-users] Documentation
Hello, I have made a first cut at reorganizing the Development version of the manual back into fewer pieces. Previously we had: # Concepts and Overview Guide # Installation and Configuration Guide # Console and Operators Guide # Problem Resolution Guide # Catalog Database Guide # Utility Programs # Developers' Guide After the rearrangement, we have: # Bacula Main Reference Guide PDF /HTML # Console and Operators Guide PDF /HTML # Problem Resolution Guide PDF /HTML # Utility Programs PDF /HTML # Developers' Guide PDF /HTML # Miscellaneous Guide PDF /HTML This is a sort of first cut. The Console manual is currently missing some of the GUI stuff that I would like to put into it. Apart from that, there are fewer manuals because I combined the Concepts, Installation, and Catalog manuals. The new Miscellaneous Guide is basically either old stuff or features that will probably go away. It would be possible to combine the Console, Problem, and Utility manuals into the new Main manual, but at this point, I am a bit undecided. Also, long term, if we keep the Problem manual, it would be good to clean it up and move some of the problem stuff out of the Main manual. You can see them under "Manuals for Version 3.1.x (currently under development) on the web site at: http://www.bacula.org/en?page=Documentation Note: until I am sure what we want, I don't plan to re-organize any of the translations, but in the end they should be all organized the same way.

I read the documentation and Basica Volume Management (http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Basic_Volume_Management.html) and for me is clear how work (or as should work) bacula with multiples storages... now.. I changed my configuration to: director Storage { Name = Storage0 Address = bacula.mydomain.com SDPort = 9103 Password = "XX" Device = FileStorage Media Type = File } Storage { Name = Storage1 Address = bacula-st1.mydomain.com SDPort = 9103 Password = "YY" Device = FileStorage1 Media Type = File1 } storage0 Device { Name = FileStorage Media Type = File Archive Device = /var/respaldo/bacula LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media Random Access = Yes; AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it RemovableMedia = no; AlwaysOpen = no; } storage1 (there is the change) Device { Name = FileStorage1 Media Type = File1 Archive Device = /var/respaldo/bacula LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media Random Access = Yes; AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it RemovableMedia = no; AlwaysOpen = no; } basically, I changed the parameter "Media Type" from "File" to "File1" on section "storage" in director's configuration file and "device" in storage's configuration file.. after this changes, I restarted the director and storage and on console I tried to update the volumes with "update" command, but don't worked... :-( In documentation of console (http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Bacula_Console.html#SECTION00215), I don't see options for update the parameter "Media Type" of current volumes !!!

The catalog backups are always full backups, so they just need to be in both pools. The tricky part is that the catalog backup be the last job on a drive when that drive is unmounted. But that can be accomplished with job priorities to force all other jobs to run before the catalog backup. Basically, you don't want any backups on the drive that are newer than the catalog backup. -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Are there any 3.0 RPMs? The OpenSUSE build service usually has newer RPMs, but even there I only found the bacula 3.0 client but no binary RPMs for the server.
