[Bacula-users] How best to back up VMs in KVM on Debian9

[Thing]

Hi,

I have a handful of small VMs I'd like to backup.  These can be stopped
while the backup happens.  So what is the alternatoves to do this?

Get bacula to send shutdown command(s) and then back the image(s) up?

No, the only thing that shows in the messages file is that I changed the
disk 3 times as they filled up.

Did you get any disk/file system related error messages in the dmesg
output?

The same question goes for the system logs (usually /var/log/messages).

Re: [Bacula-users] Incomplete backup - due to bsock error

[Jerry Lowry]

Kern,
My Offsite Backup just failed again on the same drive, different disk. It
failed with the same bsock error.  If the backup is working on the same
system using the copy function, how far out of the network stack does it
go.  My thinking is it does not get out of the application layer.  Is this
right?  Why would I get a bsock error?

I have taken a look at the smart data for the disk and they seem to be
running okay. I am getting some sector relocation errors, would that cause
the bsock error during a remap?  This procedure has been running flawlessly
for many years ( except for human error ).  I am wondering if I should
delete the present disk files and let bacula recreate new ones.

thanks for your help!
