Re: [Bacula-users] Problem with acl
Hello,
yes acl exists in source and bacula is compiled with acl/xattr enabled.
we are using bacula 5.0.1 in ubuntu.
btw thanks for the replies.

Just be sure where you restore is mounted by a filesystem with acl enable
a mount command should show for ext3/4 fs a acl,user_xattr option
xfs is native, and also latest btrfs build.
Yes the filesystem where we restore have acl and user_xattr enabled but
even with these options, no acl are restored.
So in that case did the acl exist in source ?
What's the output of a subset of backuped folders from
getfacl -R -n *
Other stupid question, if bacula is compiled from source did you check if you
have enabled acl/xattr, and have corresponding
-devel package installed, otherwise you wouldn't get them inside bacula.
As you see a bit more information about bacula, distribution, environnment
etc would help to solve your trouble.
Here acl works from 1.3x series without any glitches ;-)

[Bacula-users] About tapes capacity
Hi people: I'm running Bacula 5.0.3 with an tape library IBM TS3100 using LTO5 tapes of 1.5 TB capacity each one. I have a simple question: If I run a job backup of a server that holds more than 1.5 TB (example: 2 TB of data), what happen when Bacula reaches the limit of the tape capacity? Does Bacula automatically change the tape? I'm not pretty sure about this because I recently ran a job backup of 2 TB and Bacula apparently just used one tape: have a look at my volume listing: * list volume ... ... | 5 | L5BA0005 | Append| 1 | 2,058,019,117,056 | 2,059 |2,160,000 | 1 |5 | 1 | LTO-5 | 2011-04-19 20:58:51 | +-++---+-+---+--+--+-+--+---+---+-+ When the job started Bacula took the tape L5BA0005 and never required another one.

Does Bacula automatically change the tape? I'm not pretty sure about this because I recently ran a job backup of 2 TB and Bacula apparently just used one tape: have a look at my volume listing: * list volume ... ... | 5 | L5BA0005 | Append| 1 | 2,058,019,117,056 | 2,059 |2,160,000 | 1 |5 | 1 | LTO-5 | 2011-04-19 20:58:51 | +-++---+-+---+--+--+-+--+---+---+-+ When the job started Bacula took the tape L5BA0005 and never required another one. As you can see Bacula apparently wrote 2,058,019,117,056 bytes (approx. 2 TB) but my tape is just 1.5 TB capacity. Does anybody know why? My job isn't using compression so I really don't understand this. The job may not be using compression but the tape drive itself may have compression enabled, which could account for being able to write 2 TB to the LTO-5 tape. (The 1.5 TB capacity is the native capacity of an LTO-5 tape without hardware compression enabled.) Cheers, Paul. Hi, excuse me if I'm a newbie on this but, how and where can I verify if hardware compression is enabled? It would be on the web administration of my tape library?

Re: [Bacula-users] prevent windows shutdown when backup run

We want prevent shutdown process while fd work, does exists any solutions for this task? The short answer is, no, if the user has physical access to the hardware you cannot prevent the user from shutting it down by hitting the power button, and Bacula does not have the capability to override an OS-controlled shutdown initiated by the OS or the user. About the only ways around this are either to educate your users, or to redesign your backup strategy in a robust way (say, use rsync to copy the data to a buffer area off the machine that you actually back up). -- Phil Stracchino, CDK#2 DoD#299792458 ICBM: 43.5607, -71.355 ala...@caerllewys.net ala...@metrocast.net p...@co.ordinate.org Renaissance Man, Unix ronin, Perl hacker, SQL wrangler, Free Stater It's not the years, it's the mileage. -- Benefiting from Server Virtualization: Beyond Initial Workload Consolidation -- Increasing the use of server virtualization is a top priority.Virtualization can reduce costs, simplify management, and improve application availability and disaster protection.

I believe what he sent was director same version as storage, and server's version greater than or equal to client.
