So, I have configured postfix/cyrus

If you pretend to use postfix in this machine

​Did you monitor resource usage during the backups? The list of files
generated for accurate backups are kept in memory (by both director and
client), so this should cause resource use (CPU, memory, etc.) to increase
in both hosts.

​Mine too. When using accurate backups, the amount of resources used should
be noticed when running incremental, differential and full+basejobs backups.

 Hi Kern,

 Thank you for the info!  We're using MySQL 5.6 Percona Server, Release

 Would this setting cause the problem?
 innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 100

 Is it too high or too low or has no bearing on the problem?


 Sorry, I am a Bacula programmer, and I do not know much about databases
 -- especially MySQL since I use PostgreSQL.  PostgreSQL is harder to
 install and a bit harder to configure than MySQL, but it performs much
 better.



 Thanks again,

Heitor,  Sorry for not saying this in the original text.  It does the same
thing when I specify 'localhost'.

I don't really need 'tls' that is just what gmail is looking for when I try
to use them as the sending mail server.

thanks

[Bacula-users] Restoring directories with an underscore

[kbonnet]

Oh people!

Let's first start positive. It's great to see how active and helpful this 
community is! Thank you for your help the past day.

Now, it was all my own fault. This directory alf_data appeared to be a symlink. 
:( I tried on another install where the directory is just the directory, and i 
experienced no problem. Sorry for bothering you!

Off topic, I did experience slowness in the "building tree" process after 
giving the restore command. I moved from mysql to postgres.

Again, thank you for your help. Please excuse my pityful entry here :D

Koen

Yes, the above is the best advice.  Also when the user is at:

cwd is: /opt/alfresco-4.2.e/

a command such as 

ls

will tell you what files and subdirectories Bacula has in the catalog for the 
/opt/alfresco-4.2.e directory.

Kern

Quick guess that "alf_data" is "alf_data " or something like that.

I can't recall if
$ cd *alf*data*
will work, you could try that.

Comparing a listing of the directory on the machine with that of the 
backup might give some more clues.
