Re: [Bacula-users] UC Bacula Pointers
In most circumstances it will be saved at the point the backup starts. That is If the file is not there at the start then it will not be in the backup If you started editing a file after the backup starts the backup will contain your original (unedited file). If you are writing a file when the backup starts you will have a partial file in the backup (probably not too much use) There are some options to avoid this default actions, like avoiding snapshots or avoiding VSS for Windows, but in most circumstances the above will be what you get. The FileSet resource has a compression=GZIP or LZO options resource which you could set to compress as you went along. Compressing the files manually will increase the manual burden with any restore. Also you can only really deal with volumes that bacula considers Full or Used. There may be other things, but I don't use anything other than tapes. Dave M -Original Message- Hello Everyone, I'm a relatively new Bacula programmer looking for some pointers and helpful documentation. I've checked out the Bacula user guide and still have some remaining questions. Here are some of the topics I'm looking for more information on: *What happens to the Bacula backup process when a new file is added to the target fileset directory while the backup is being taken? Will that cause Bacula to throw an error or will the new file be ignored until the next backup is taken? *Once we have the Bacula backup taken, is there any issue with converting the format of the backup file into a tar or tar.gz file for storage purposes? I can't imagine the process of Tar/Untar would cause the backup volumes to become incompatible with Bacula, but I wanted to double check with someone more knowledgeable. If this is the wrong format or there is a better place to ask these types of questions, please let me know and I will act accordingly.

Re: [Bacula-users] No scheduled jobs - bacula 7.0.4
I cannot see anywhere that status schedule is a valid command. I suspect it is translated to something like 'status storage', but I may be wrong on that as my status storage doesn't mention scheduled jobs. If you just want to know the next scheduled jobs just do a 'status dir'. The first few lines should give you what you want. Dave > Hi ALL, > I am trying to setup Bacula 7.0.4 on Ubuntu 16.04.

[Bacula-users] Unable to identify volume by mediaId
I have just updated Bacula-2.2.8 to 3.0.1 and am having a little trouble. Running on Solaris 10 10/08, postgreSQL 8.3 When I try to update a volume using mediaID rather than volume name I get an error.

I can't answer it. But, I would ask you this: if the spooling time elapsed is near to the despool time, then why spool at all? Our setup was set up originally with all jobs spooled (and we have the same Quantum Superloader/Drive that you do); I realized after 8 months that some of the jobs were able to acquire data quickly enough that they did not need to use spooling at all - and for those jobs, we dropped the backup time by over 50%. _KMP ** The reason I use spooling is that I use only one backup device (the autoloader) and one pool for all my backups. The other clients I have are 1. Windows 2003 connected by 100M Ethernet 2. Solaris 2.6 connected by 10M Ethernet 3. Windows XP SP2 Spooling has been proved to be the more efficient in (1) and absolutely essential in (2). Solaris 2.6 and Windows XP don't have enough data to cause a spool again, Windows 2003 has a similar effect to the director/storage server local drives, but the generation of the full spool file takes longer. I thought the local data had less complication when run on it's own to isolate the problem. On reviewing the spool.c code, the only obvious points where a delay may occur are in the set_jr_job_status or dir_send_job_status if a director (or its TCP port) has gone to sleep for some reason.

[Bacula-users] Delay between end of despool and spooling again
Hi I have installed Bacula-3.0.1 (gcc 3.4.3) on a Solaris 10 10/08 Sun T5420 server with a Quantum Superloader DLT-S4 attached. postgreSQL database. I use a spool area of 5GB and the backup always progresses to normal completion & no btape issues. The normal sequence of events for a local 360GB data set involves repeating Spooling 5GB data 4-5 mins Despooling 5GB data 5-7 mins The period between the spooling ending message and spooling again varies from next to nothing, which I would expect, and 33 minutes. That is the difference between 08-May 22:48 server-sd JobId 4044: Despooling elapsed time = 00:05:23, Transfer rate = 16.23 M bytes/second and 08-May 23:14 server-sd JobId 4044: Spooling data again ... This is run when the server is otherwise quiet, but results in a backup that I would expect to take less than 4 hours is close to 18, which means I can't run it during the week. Is there anything obvious I'm missing? Dave The information contained in this E-Mail and any subsequent correspondence is private and is intended solely for the intended recipient(s).
