Re: [Bacula-users] Restore not using correct Files.
Craig, I suspect this is because the media type for both your Incremental and Differential pools is File so bacula assumes that it can access Incr0169 via the /backup/Differential device. I got round this by having different media types for my different file devices, e.g. FileFull, FileDiff and FileInc.

Re: [Bacula-users] Maximum Volume Bytes
For what it's worth, I have a similar amount of data and settled on a Maximum Volume Bytes of 200G which has been working without any issues for a few months now. Cheers, Ewan -Original Message- From: Mike Seda [mailto:mas...@stanford.edu] Sent: 20 May 2011 18:49 To: Bacula Users Subject: [Bacula-users] Maximum Volume Bytes Hi All, I'm currently setting up a disk-based storage pool in Bacula and am wondering what I should set Maximum Volume Bytes to. I was thinking of setting it to 100G, but am just wondering if this is sane. FYI, the total data of our clients is 15 TB, but we are told that this data should at least double each year. I noticed that there seems to be a limit on the number of disk-based volumes in a pool due to the suffix having 4 digits, i.e. 0001. This adds up to about 10,000 possible volumes per pool. So 10,000 volumes x 100 GB is 1 PB. That seems like overkill. Perhaps setting Maximum Volume Bytes = 10G would be more reasonable since this would add up to 100 TB. I'm also storing these file volumes on ZFS (v28 w/ dedup=on), and am wondering if smaller volumes will dedup better than larger ones. I'm curious to see what others are doing to take advantage of dedup-enabled ZFS storage w/ Bacula. Thanks, Mike --- --- What Every C/C++ and Fortran developer Should Know!

[Bacula-users] Priority of Copy jobs
I have a two stage backup, to disk first then to tape using copy jobs. On the whole this works fine, but occasionally (e.g. when the tape hasn't been changed) a copy job is still running when the next round of disk backups start. When this happens, the disk backups don't start because they are Waiting for higher priority job to finish. However, the copy job has a lower priority (17) than the disk backup (10) so this shouldn't be the case. Note, that they are not competing for storage resources - the copy job is copying from a pool/storage dedicated to full backups on to tape; the backup job is writing to a pool/storage dedicated to incremental backups. The only thing I can think is that the individual copy jobs spawned from the parent copy job have a higher priority than the parent. Can anyone confirm that this is the case - or think of a way to find the priority of a running job?

Hello List, When I start a Copy type job, two jobs are actually started. E.g when I want to copy a job originally called 'client1-full' within a Copy job called 'client1-copy', the database holds two running job records, one of them called 'client1-copy', with the Type field set to 'C' (Copy), and the other called 'client1-full', level F, Type B (Backup). Is there a way to find out if this second one is started because of the Copy job, or it is meant to be run e.g because of a schedule or a console action? Thanks in advance!

Re: [Bacula-users] Priority question
You are right that no priority 10 jobs will get run while there are higher priority (lower number) jobs running. To run jobs in parallel they need to be the same priority. However, to some extent you can control the order using scheduling. Kick off the important jobs on the hour and the less important ones at 5 minutes past the hour and I believe they will maintain that order in the queue. Cheers, Ewan -Original Message- From: hymie!

The Windows file daemon doesn't use the C:\$WORKSTATION-fd.conf file. That's
just put there as a convenience at install time. You should really be
comparing the server password with the one in the Bacula program directory
(e.g. C:\program files\bacula\bacula-fd.conf).

Afternoon,
I had to reload a win32 workstation this weekend and now I have
authentication issues with the director. Please remind me, this is what
I have setup:
- workstation c:\$WORKSTATION-fd.conf password in the Client { }
section
matches the password on the server's bacula-dir.conf in the same named
Client { } section.
- the workstation is on DHCP, but resolvable, pingable, and I can
'telnet $WORKSTATION 9102'
client bacula-fd, win32, v2.0.3
server bacula, linux, fedora core 5, v2.0.3
This has got to be obvious, but I'm missing something. I understand
the reasons for the passwords, but I find them really frustrating in
this situation.
Mike
