Hey Gang,

Can Bacula handle D2D2T backups?

Re: [Bacula-users] Disk-to-disk-tape backups

2007-10-29 Thread Michael Lewinger
Sure, here it is. Everything derived from pp 423 of the manual.

on the storage daemon:

Device {
 Name = disk#
 Media Type = file
 Device Type = file
 Archive Device = C:/bacula/backup_data
 AutomaticMount = yes   # when device opened, read it
 AlwaysOpen = yes
 RemovableMedia = no
 RandomAccess = yes
^^
 Spool Directory = C:/bacula/temp
^^
}

on the director daemon:

JobDefs {
  Name = DefaultJob
  Type = Backup
  Level = Incremental
  Client = michaelpc
  FileSet = docs
  Schedule = default
  Storage = disk
  Messages = Standard
  Pool = Default
  Priority = 10
^^
  SpoolData = yes
^^
}

Cheers,

Michael

 Michael,

 I'd like that. The only stipulation is that I try it myself first. I have
 found the documentation a little confusing and may give up quicker than I
 like to admit.

 I do however need the reference for the information on spooling. Do you
 have that to start me off?

 Sure,

 A pity bacula does not support resuming creation of spool files... I do
 have this slow connection problem as well, solved partially by spooling.
 Once it is finished the file does go straight to tape though. Do you need
 help with the spooling ?

  Michael,
 
  I need the D2D2T feature or at the very least disk spooling because I am
  stuck using an HP Ext. USB(v2) DAT72 drive and the links between servers are
  slow. I suppose I could setup Rsync between the servers then fire off the
  backup
 
  I've successfully used the backup to file feature but the remote disk to
  tape fails consistently.

  Hi David,
 
  Maybe it can, maybe it can't but I'm sure it can be emulated. bacula's
  volumes on disk (media type = file) for instance are similar to tape
  streams, so technically speaking you can use bacula's own duplicate backup
  mechanism for making a backup to disk and to tape immediately after which
  looks more or less like d2d2t to me. Mind, this is not using disk spooling
  which is a different feature altogether.
 
  What feature of d2d2t is so important ?
