[Bacula-users] Upgrade question.
I am planning to upgrade bacula from 5.2.13 to 7.0.5. I will back-up the current catalogue, remove 5.2.13, install 7.0.5, copy the conf files from 5.2.13 to 7.0.5, restore the catalogue and start bacula again. Is that feasible? I also have to back-up a Windows 7 system. Which version will work on that system? Right now I am using version 5.2.10 on Windows. My host and the other clients are all Linux Fedora 21. -- Erik -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!

[Bacula-users] Bacula article in FreeBSD journal
Just a heads up. I am writing an article for an upcoming issue of FreeBSD Journal. I’ll post again once I know the publication date.

Re: [Bacula-users] Volume retention definition
Hi Isamar, The volume retention is based on the last time the volume was written (with the list media output command you can see it in the LastWritten column). If you set up a retention period of 5 years for the pool, any volumes in this pool could not be written until the five years have passed since the last written time.

If you set up a retention period of 5 years for the pool, any volumes in this pool could not be written until the five years have passed since the last written time. Also the retention does not start until the volume is marked Full or Used. When it is marked Full or Used the LastWritten time when the 5 years will begin.

Re: [Bacula-users] Is this an Inter-version Compatibility Issue???
Hello, I'm the maintainer of the Fedora packages. Here is the repository for the Bacula 7 packages for all supported Fedora/CentOS/RHEL releases: https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/slaanesh/bacula7/ They are exactly the same rebuild of the current f21/rawhide packages. ARM v7 builds are included as well. John, if you can't upgrade your Fedora 20 system to Fedora 21 then my suggestion is to upgrade to Bacula 7.x packages using the above repository. This will not break your eventual Fedora 20-21 upgrade.

I solved it by removing the bacula packages, then installing the fc20 RPMs. You probably will have to download the RPMs, then installl them from the local RPM files you downloaded. My problem is that my SD server is a Raspberry Pi, and there are no Bacula 7 packages for it. I'd have to compile from source. It was easier to downgrade the f21 system than to do this. Eventually I may try it, because the system that the Bacula director runs on is going to need upgrading soon too (for reasons having nothing to do with Bacula). --Greg -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!

Re: [Bacula-users] Fatal error: label.c:464 Truncate error on device - ERR=No such file or directory
Hello all, I am using Bacula v5.2.6. My Storage Daemon runs on the same machine like the Director and writes to a NAS that is mounted via SSHFS. I had the some trouble with exactly this truncate error shown below. Writing to a volume on Directors HDD and truncating works, but not with the external NAS. I figured out that SSHFS has an option -o workaround=truncate that allows truncate. Before every Job, with a simple script I am checking via RunBeforeJob wheater the NAS is mounted or not. If not, another script containing the sshfs command including option -o workaround=truncate mounts the NAS. Now recyling etc. works fine. Kind regards, David Stefan Lamby wrote Hello List. I followed the advice you gave and updated director and sd to the most current version to avoid this truncate error I reported before (see below). Too sad, we do have the same issue again. Do you have any more advice? Thank you!

I'll think about buying 2 more SATA HDs using software raid to store the precious Volumes on those. That should work well. Btw., using md, is there something wrong with using it in partnership with bacula? What is md? Ooops. My bad. I was using a short form for the device name linux is using for a software raid. They are called md0, md1, and so on. Again, thank you so much for all the valuable input you gave. Have a nice weekend!

[Bacula-users] Volume retention definition
Hi Folks, We are planning to use a unique tape for differential backups to cover a specific need, and this volume should expire in 5 years. Question: the volume retention is calculated based on the volume creation date or it is updated to the date when the new jobs are inserted into the volume ? -- Isamar Maia Cel.
