[Bacula-users] Performance with latent networks
Hello. I saw this post recently http://www.mail-archive.com/bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg47393.html and it seems I'm affected by this problem too. Bacula shows extremely low performance in networks with high rtt. I have sd in Germany and client in USA. Bacula can make backups on speeds between 5 to 10 Mbit/s which is too slow as backups are up to 600 GB. With simple iperf test I can achieve transfer rates about 100-120 Mbit/s. Why bacula cannot do the same? Compression does not affect transfer speed. Client has plenty of free CPU/memory. I've made ssh tunnel between hosts and set Address = 127.0.0.1 in Storage section. With this configuration I can see backups are running at speeds about 100 Mbit/s.

[Bacula-users] bacula/etc folder contents gone - any way to fix?
So, the contents of my ../bacula/etc/ folder are gone. Same place where bacula-dir.conf, bacula-sd.conf, etc, is stored. Nothing else has been lost. Volumes (including backups of the bacula server) are still in place, all other folders in ../bacula (such as lib, sbin, scripts, working, etc) are present. Besides not having the bacula-dir.conf, bacula-sd.conf, and bacula-fd.conf files, is there any way to restore the contents of this folder so I can still work with what I had? Or am I totally screwed here? Is it possible to reinstall bacula from source just to repair the contents of the ../bacula/etc folder?

is that correct?
Thanks a lot!
I am sorry. I said Maximum Volume Size instead of Maximum Volume Bytes.
http://bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION001815
It should be
Pool {
Name = Turnos
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatical006Cy
recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 365 days # one year
Maximum Volume Bytes = 4G # Limit Volume size to something reasonable
LabelFormat = TurnosN
Maximum Volumes = 100 # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
}
However remember that the pool resource is only used when creating new
volumes. So if you already have volumes created they will not get the
new size limit when they recycle. To fix this open up bconsole and
update pool from resource
and then
update all volumes in pool.
An example of this is here:

The SD just got migrated from the same FreeBSD to Debian a while ago and Debian SD has different MediaType directive in Device resource, so every time the backup runs, it starts prompting for an appendable volume. That's OK, because I've got a cron job in place that just deletes the oldest volume from the pool. The problem is that now should SD create a new volume file and use it, but it does not. SD gives this error: Warning: mount.c:221 Open device device-consus (/mnt/backup/bacula) Volume catalog-full-5458 failed: ERR=dev.c:549 Could not open: /mnt/backup/bacula/catalog-full-5458, ERR=No such file or directory I've checked that the directory and file permissions are all OK. Once I touch the file with correct owner and mount the storage in bconsole, the job starts running. Any idea why can't SD create the volume file? Hmm.. it seems that the problem still was that not enough volumes got deleted from the pool and pool was still full. The weird thing is that the error above came from SD, not from DIR which could saying that the pool is full or smth. -- Silver -- All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
