Re: [Bacula-users] after building bat, location of binary varies

The answer will help to improve the build and install process. Sometimes the binary is at: src/qt-console/bat If not there, it is at: src/qt-console/.libs/bat Within a given system, the location is always consistent. It is one of the above. Why the location varies, I do not know. The .libs directory is the default location when building with libtool (for Bacula shared libraries). __Martin -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Re: [Bacula-users] Error with DR backups
I have tried several things now to correct this error without success. - Checked and repaired MySQL db with MySQL tools (mysqlcheck). - Cleaned MySQL db with bacula tools (dbcheck). - The offending pool has been removed and a new pool created and volumes added. The backup ran without error over two weeks and then the error returned. - The temp directory has been changed to a directory with more than enough space to contain the entire backup set. - The backup job has been moved in the schedule to a period that was not concurrent with any other job. Still, the one job that has 200GB+ of files succeeds, and the job with only 60GB fails, same error. 16-Nov 08:25 director-dir: Allied-ex3.2009-11-16_01.00.02 Warning: Error updating job record. sql_update.c:194 Update problem: affected_rows=0 16-Nov 08:25 director-dir: Allied-ex3.2009-11-16_01.00.02 Warning: Error getting job record for stats: sql_get.c:293 No Job found for JobId 20947 I am at a loss to understand why. The volumes can be pruned almost immediately as the backup is only for DR purposes and each volume will be recycled each night. The only problem I see is that the client is paying for 60GB and the backups have begun using more than that amount, so volumes are being reused within the current backup. I will next try increasing the number of volumes to see if that helps. Still open to suggestions, more than happy to repost all files.

[Bacula-users] Full / Incremental / Virtual backup jobs
Hi all I'm cracking my head on this: I have an NTFS workstation with about 4 millions files that need backup. I want to set an automated backup job that does the following: - 1st time Full backup of all files - everyday an incremental backup - once a week consolidate all the incremental + Full with Virtual Backup and replace the previous Full backup. Can I do this automatically? what is the best way? Thanks Eitan -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Re: [Bacula-users] question about multiple file pools
