[Bacula-users] decompression when migrating from disk to tape?
Hello all, is it possible to decompress the files on a job when it is migrated to tape? The backround is: we want to keep the last set of full, differential and incremental backups on tape for fast restore. As soon as a new full backup is done, we want to migrate the last full to tape (differentials and incrementals will be recycled without migration). To save disk space we would like to compress the disk backups. But (as also mentioned in the documentation) it would be counterproductively to write compressed data to tapes with hardware compression. Following the documentation the software compression is done by file-deamon. When now a job is migratet to a device wich has set AllowCompression=no due to hardware compression will the data be decompressed before transferred to tape? Is ist possible to achive this behavior?

[Bacula-users] help Level = VolumeToCatalog
Hi bacula-users
I would to know if the include clause verify = isd5 is correct if applied on
a verify job with Level = VolumeToCatalog.
As is wrote in documentation it seems that only for Level=Catalog or
Level=DiskToCatalog the verify clause is correct.
So, what file's attribute are verified in Level = VolumeToCatalog, just
MD5/SHA1 signatures?

Bacula does not have a central director concept. You can have storage
located on any machines in the network that can run the storage
daemon. Meaning a storage device does not need to be on a director
machine. Neither does the database. However the problem you will have
is the database records need to be transferred to the director and
from the director to the database server.

It's definitely possible, I've configured something like it for a client
where both servers have their own tapedrive but only one runs a director.
All you need to do is to have one server with bacula-dir (the central
management server), and all other servers with bacula-sd and bacula-fd.
Then just define all the different Storage devices in your bacula-dir
and make sure each client uses the right one.
If setup correctly you'll only have metadata flowing towards the
director, and all data itself will stay local between the sd and fd on
the other servers.
Kind regards,
Jeremy

Great, metadata flowing isn't a problem, backing up a machine over our WAN

Bacula tapes are not in a format that tar understands--the only meaningful way to find out what is on the tapes is either with bconsole, bscan, bls, or some SQL commands against the database backend that you are using. Of these, by far the easiest is bconsole. Reading the tapes to see what is on them (i.e. using bscan or bls) is hugely slow compared to using the database to get that information. If your database is missing what you need (either due to misconfig or disaster recovery), then bscan can help you.
