Yes, You can create a single schedule with a line per day

No. A single job with the schedule that has a line for each day and
sets the pool on each line
Schedule {
Name = "Daily"
Run = Level = Incremental Pool = Monday mon at 18:00
Run = Level = Incremental Pool = Tuesday tue at 18:00
Run = Level = Incremental Pool = Wednesday wed at 18:00
Run = Level = Incremental Pool = Thursday thu at 18:00
Run = Level = Incremental Pool = Friday wed at 18:00
Run = Level = Incremental Pool = Satuday sat at 18:00
Run = Level = Full Pool = Sunday sun at 18:00
}
Job {
Name = "MyBackup"
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental # default
Client = Minou
FileSet="Minou Full Set"
Storage = DLTDrive
Pool = Default
Schedule = Daily
Messages = Standard
}
Remember that the schedule will override the Pool and Level in the job.

I have done that a few times but not as often as I want. I also make sure that the most important data is backed up more than 1 time. In the past I did that to 2 different media types but now since my dataset has grown and the DLT tape drives are not working reliably I use the same LTO2 autochanger. When I get some money in the budget I am thinking of adding an LTO5 (or by then LTO6) tape drive to make these alternate backups.

To: John Drescher
Hi John,
Well, I've tested like the way you said me and it worked.
I used the Level DiskToCatalog cause is a Backup in Disk, so, I've
noticed that it always do the "verify" with the last job written on
the Catalog. Thus, I couldn't check an older backup.
Another thing...in this test I got two .txt files with nothing write
in them, i.e, they were 0 KB. Bacula considered them, either with MD5
or SHA1, like inconsistent files with those in the Catalog. When I
wrote something in them and redid the test, so, the verification was
OK.
Thank you John, for your explanation.
Just one more question for nowit seems such obvious, but, the
Level VolumeToCatalog would be when I use Tapes? Is that right?

No you do not want a separate catalog for verify. The example in the
manual is for using Bacula to track changes in files that are not part
of your backups.

Just the job definition. And the job levels "VolumeToCatalog" or "DiskToCatalog"
Be careful however. The last time I checked this Verify did not work
correctly. And what I mean about that is I had more than 1 job for a
client and in the verify command I specified the fileset for the first
job ran and bacula tried to verify the fileset for the second job
instead. It seems like it ignores the fileset in the verify Job and
uses whatever Job was last run on the client instead of what I told it
to do.

I use "Maximum Volume Bytes" for disk volumes at home and at work. For me I limit the size to 5GB and use the disk volumes with the bacula virtual changer but I do not have many disk volumes.

I believe that bacula on the next week will reuse the volume from the
previous week but leave the volume name to be whatever it was when it
was first labeled.
I may be wrong. I use mostly 100+ LTO tapes with and an autochanger.
With this the lables are what is on the barcode for the lifetime of
the tape.
Also I believe "MaximumVolume" should be changed to "Maximum Volume Bytes"

Are you sure there is not a higher percentage of already compressed files in the fileset now than before?

-- Forwarded message -- From: Robert Kromoser Date: Tue, May 17, 2011 at 2:17 AM Subject: RE: [Bacula-users] Full backup will not be idendtified To: John Drescher Hi John. The Bacula documentation says the following: Incremental A backup that includes all files changed since the last Full, Differential, or Incremental backup started. It is normally specified on the Level directive within the Job resource definition, or in a Schedule resource. So it must be possible to define an own job with Level = Incremental and it has to run as Incremental if an Full or Differential already exists.

What I believe made this work for you was the last differential was upgraded to full so for the SugarCRM_xxx_Diff had a previous Full in the last SugarCRM_xxx_Diff job that ran. If you delete the SugarCRM_xxx_Full the SugarCRM_xxx_Diff should still run as a differential. At least that is what I expect to happen. John -- John M.

Hi John.
I don't know what you mean?
What's wrong about the bacula-sd.conf?
The bacula-dir and the bacula-sd are running on the same host and so
they are using the same /etc/hosts file.
As you can see use I the hostname CBCK0001 in bacula-sd.conf.
I think that might be OK.

However I am not too familiar with that (and what it prevents access to) since I do not use it on my network. You may want to use a separate database per client. That way the client will only see their stuff. This however will make it harder to manage your bacula volumes since I do not believe you can safely use the same bacula database in more than one catalog.

This is the problem. The client can not connect to the server. Do you have a firewall or do you have 127.0.0.1 or localhost configured in your bacula configs. Remember that using 127.0.0.1 or localhost prevents bacula from working as a network backup program.

Because with the "status dir" command, I can just see the "backup > is running" and nothing more. I didn't found nothing in the Manual about > that too. > There is no progress. The reason is to determine the progress would add a large amount of time to the every backup. Basically the estimate command would have to be run before the job and then compare the total to the current.

If you changed the settings after volumes were created the changes are
not applied to existing volumes.
Use bconsole
update "pool from resource"
then
update "all volumes in pool"
commands. I believe those are the commands or the wording is similar.

In this case you should never label your tapes directly. You normally issue the update slots command after adding tapes and the aotochanger is done scanning the labels. Then after that completes issue label barcodes command in bconsole and put all tapes into the Scratch pool. Do not worry about already labeled tapes being in the list. Bacula will only grab and label the tapes that are in the changer that are not in the bacula database. After this completes and bacula needs a tape it will grab it from the Scratch pool and move it into the current pool.

No. You need a separate device in bacula-dir for each device you have
in bacula-sd if you are not using an autochanger or a disk virtual
artochanger like bacula vchanger.

I have experienced this myself. I had a few original tapes that I set some size other than the default and those are currently not readable now since I reset the block size back to default. The difference is between fixed size and variable size blocks and also even fixed sized blocks of different sizes. I believe if you used fixed sized blocks (max and min are the same) you can not change that otherwise the tape drive can not read the new block size. If you use variable sized blocks (max and min different sizes) you may be able to extend the max size or reduce the min size as long as you don't make the max=min.

Bacula does not have a central director concept. You can have storage
located on any machines in the network that can run the storage
daemon. Meaning a storage device does not need to be on a director
machine. Neither does the database. However the problem you will have
is the database records need to be transferred to the director and
from the director to the database server.

NO do not set MaxVolumeSize for tapes. As the other person said tapes have variable hardware compression. Your tape drive supports 800 GB native space however what will fit on the tape will vary depending on what your data set is. If you have only text files you may actually fit 2500 MB on the tape however if you are saving only mpegs (zip files ...) you may get 801 GB total on a tape. There is no good reason to limit the tape usage at 1600 GB.

You need a SSD or raid to achieve 150MB/s. Yes I know there are harddrives even SATA drives that do over 150MB/s now but once you need more than 1 concurrent job the drive will limit spool performance.

You can test if this is the case by creating a backup of a single file that is 1GB or so to media that is already loaded and see if the performance is closer to the network maximum. Maybe test an already compressed file of this size versus a file containing all zeros.

You need to speed up your source filesystem to achieve better performance. Use raid10 or get a SSD. It has nothing at all to do with your tape or bacula speed if you hard drive can not read what it needs to backup at the maximum network speed. Or do not worry so much how much time a single backup is taking and enable concurrency and spooling. These will better utilize the speed of your tape drive.

The reason is umount takes the storage device offline and will require a manual mount to bring it back online. If you used the release command instead of umount it does not take the device offline. You can also debug this by looking at the pool list media pool=poolname in bconsole John -- WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.
