Hi, We use VMware Data Recovery (VDR) for this job. It's an application which plugs into the vCenter. You get deduplication and other fancy stuff with it. It is still under development but works great for us. Don't use file based backup software like Bacula on vmdks: The backup volume will kill you. If you change one byte inside the VM you have to backup all of the vmdk image which will be substantially (!) larger.

On Tue, 2011-07-05 at 09:03 +0200, Uwe Mohn wrote: I'd suggest using different prioritys for your virtual fulls since bacula won't start a job with a higher bacula priority (means lesser importance) before a job with a lower bacula priority (means higher importance) has terminated. For example the virtual Full you want to run first priority = 11 for the second one priority = 12 and so on. Very good idea. I thought about this and got to the conclusion that this method does not scale too well: I would have to add an additional (virtualFull) job for every client and coordinate all priorities of these jobs: I.e. If I create a new client I need to check for a new, not occupied priority slot. All in all I think this would work, but I am not yet willing to give up in favor of a simpler solution I do not see.

[Bacula-users] Concurrent Jobs and multiple volume readers
Hello, usually I do not have problem with concurrent jobs, because they read/write from/to different pools. But when it comes to virtual full backups I need to stop bacula from doing these jobs concurrently. Is there a way to tell the bacula to do a certain type of job one at a time even if the configured standard is to accept 12 jobs concurrently? How is that done with copy/migration jobs e.g. The doc says there is a management job which starts the actual copy/migration job. These run one at a time just fine in my environment. How can I impelement this behaviour for my virtual full jobs? Any hints?

Hello
Is there a way to cancel multiple running Jobs with bconsole?
Hi,
here is another one using the shell:
for fn in $(echo s dir | bconsole | awk '/waiting/ {print $1}') ; do
echo cancel jobid=$fn ; done | bconsole
This cancels all waiting jobs.
There is no limit choosing jobs using regex.
