Re: [Bacula-users] Performance settings for large file LTO-6 backup

[John Stoffel]

My one comment is that if you really want to keep this data forever,
then you should *really* be making multiple copies to tape, and then
also re-reading them and comparing them against the master data.  

I also think that the biggest time sink will be the finding and
building of the daily tar files to ship to bacula.  Anything you can
do to make that simpler and quicker, or possibly even incrementally
happen would be an improvement.

Possibly what you want to do is have a master process which watches
the filesystem, then pulls out all the newly created files, tars them
up into larger chunks (though I wouldn't do 2.5Tb, I'd do much
smaller, say 100g max) which once they are full, are then sent to
Bacula, which can either write two tapes in parallel, or if you have
three drives, you could be writing to one, and then using the second
and third to clone the tape.  

Just because you've written the data to tape doesn't mean you're going
to have it last forever.  You will need to store it properly, and
ideally test it once in a while to make sure it's still good.

Writing multiple tapes is cheap insurance.   But it all comes down to
the cost of re-creating the source data.

Re: [Bacula-users] Running Bat on Win7 Pro SP1 64-bit

[Michael Schwager]

Never mind... I downloaded the 32-bit version and it works. It's a little
rough (the first time I opened it, I got a little circle that spun around
endlessly, and I also needed to edit the config file by hand), but it seems
to be working now.

 Hello,
 I've downloaded Bacula from
 https://sourceforge.net/projects/bacula/files/Win32_64/5.2.10/ and
 installed bat (only) using the bacula-win64-5.2.10.exe file. During the
 installation, at asked me about my Director information, and I believe I
 gave it the correct info.

 Now I go to c:Program Files\Bacula and try to run bat but I get the
 following error:

 The application was unable to start correctly (0xc07b). Click OK to
 close the application.

 I looked at the bin32\bat.conf file and it looks good. Am I missing
 something?

 Thanks.
