[Bacula-users] Upgraded job question
Hello All,
I'm running bacula-2.0.3 on RHEL4 backing up to file. Currently, for
testing purposes, I have file retention, job retention and volume
retention set to 1 hour. I have limited myself to 20 volumes in my
pool, all at 1 Gb each.
The first job I run (reason) fills 13 volumes, and it is a full backup.
When I run the next job (country), it is also a full backup but I run
out of volumes. Bacula then does its pruning and purging and frees up
necessary volumes. This obviously overwrites the volumes that the first
job (reason) used for its backup.
All this I expected.
However, when I run the first job again (reason), it performs an
incremental backup, but as of now there are no valid full backups for
reason.
Shouldn't bacula know this and upgrade it to full?
Here are the relevant parts in bacula-dir.conf:
...
# Client (File Services) to backup
Client {
Name = reason-fd
Address = reason.mitll.ad.local
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = "*" # password for FileDaemon
File Retention = 1 hours
Job Retention = 1 hours
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}
Client {
Name = country-fd
Address = country
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = "**" # password for FileDaemon
File Retention = 1 hours
Job Retention = 1 hours
AutoPrune = yes #Prune expired Jobs/Files
}
...
# Default pool definition
Pool {
Name = Default
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 1 hours
Maximum Volumes = 20
Maximum Volume Bytes = 1073741824 # 1Gb
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
LabelFormat = "vol"
}
Thanks,
Joe

Mine is formatted as follows in bacula-dir.conf: Client Run Before Job = "\"c:/Program Files/bacula/bin/systemstate.bat\"" All in one line of course. On the client machine I have a bat file which says: start /wait ntbackup backup systemstate /F c:\systemstate.bkf exit 0 When I do a complete restore, I log in as Administrator and then use ntbackup to restore the system state as it was. Afterwards I can log in using the user account (no USERNAME.DOMAIN folders are created) and it was exactly as it was before. I never have to mess with any permissions at all.

[Bacula-users] Windows restore
Hello,
I have 1 full backup of a machine and several incrementals. I performed a
restore using BartPE. Everything seems like it restored, I started with a
formatted drive and now all the files are there, but the machine won't boot.
It just hangs before any OS is loaded. I'm guessing it has something to do
with the MBR. Below is the file set I used. Is there something I am not doing
that I should be to get this to boot?

[Bacula-users] Windows client backup
Hello, I am running Bacula v.2.0.1 and have the windows client installed. I would like users to have the option to backup their own machine when needed, however, when I run the console application from windows I can back up any client. Is there a way to do this?

[Bacula-users] Storage daemon stuck on a job
I have been doing some testing with Bacula 2.0.1 and my storage daemon has is stuck on a job. My test was to back up a laptop and then during the backup unplug the network cable to see how Bacula responds. Is there a setting that gives the storage daemon a timeout so it can move to another job? Thanks, Joe Rizzari - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
