Security must really be of no concern to you, then: OpenSSL 0.9.6 hasn't received security fixes for quite a while now. If I were faced with this problem I think I'd either compile a newer version of OpenSSL for Bacula to use, or forgo SSL entirely (since that SuSE 8 box is presumably on a secure network where one doesn't have to worry about being attacked). Note that very old FDs may not be compatible with current SDs and Directors. The Release Notes for 5.0.0 claim that 3.0.x FDs are compatible and that 2.4.x FDs are possibly compatible too. The Release Notes for 5.2.1 claim that 5.0.x and 3.0.x FDs are compatible but are silent about older versions. > I hope, somebody can send me a Link, where I can download a source package. http://sourceforge.net/projects/bacula/files/z-older-releases/bacula/ Also look at the RPMs (including source RPMs which you can tweak before building) in http://sourceforge.net/projects/bacula/files/z-older-releases/rpms/ > > best regards > Claudia Koch > -- > > 3w Media GmbH DENIC-184 CORE-99 > An den Teichen 3 D-25482 Appen > Tel: +49.341355350-0 Fax: +49.341355350-55 > Amtsgericht Pinneberg HR B 5050 > USt.-Identnummer: DE193010474 Steuernummer: 1829806711 > Geschaeftsfuehrerin: Kaethe Claudia Pfeifer > > Member of DENIC - CORE - EURid - NIC.AT - NOMINET - SIDN - RIPE NCC > > > -- Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.

No. You will need at least one Job resource configured for each client you wish to backup. You may have more than one Job resource per client if you want to split the jobs up (like adults, students, faculty on a fileserver in a school for example) You may also define a common JobDef resource that contains the settings that are the same for each client (like Pool, Storage, Fileset, Level, Priority), then use that JobDef in your Job resource(s) to save you from defining each of these options in every Job resource. > 2.

Set up a few different pools, each with a different retention time. e.g.: (just pulling these out of the air) Full = 3 week retention Incremental = 1 week retention Differential = 2 week retention Then do Full backups every week... say on Friday, Incrementals on Saturday through Thursday, and finally Differentials on Fridays.

Doing backups over NFS is almost invariably a bad idea. You would be much better off to simply put a Bacula client on the machine you're now backing up via NFS mounts and back it up directly.

[Bacula-users] Weird bacula-dir error Message / Crash

[Bacula-users] Full Backup from NFS mount very slow
Hi, up to now I did my backup via FD and SD on two different machines. But as the main job gets a broken pipe when waiting for the second tape, I now switched back to FD and SD on the same machine and mounting the directories to be backed up as NFS mounts. The transfer rate over the network FD was between 40 and 65 MB/s (1Gbit LAN, LTO4 drive). Now with NFS I get 600 kB/s. NFS transfer rates are good, copying a file in a shell gives me 90 - 100 MB/s. Is this a problem with building the file list? There are lots of files to be backed up. Thanks.

Because one Bacula Device can handle only one Bacula volume at a time. If you want to write to more Bacula volumes concurrent then you will need more Bacula devices. If you will use Bacula Autochanger then you can get automatic Bacula Device selection. > You just use your raid as the one Device (its component disks are > inaccessible individually anyway). > > By default Bacula do not handle Hard Disk Drivers directly (read/write to the /dev/sda device file - like it does with tapes on /dev/nst0). The most common usage of HDD in Bacula is to create a filesystem and write a bunch of Bacula volumes on top of it. If you want to simulate a tape drive with tapes trough separate HDD's with direct access then you need to use some kind of glue script like vchanger (but I am not sure if vchanger will use direct hdd access not through filesystem and files). Then you can get all you need, especially smooth hdd (device) swap after full write or hdd offline storage, like with tapes. It is possible to write a such script will fit your needs. Some time ago I wrote a script which handled two tape autochangers like one in Bacula config without a problem. Your requirements are not common.
