Re: [Bacula-users] Update on status of Microsoft Exchange Agent for Bacula
Happy to test. I have the *flakiest* installation of Exchange one can have and still have it work. ;-) So if the backup and restore works on this box, it'll work anywhere. The bonus is it's a quasi production system - meaning it works, but doesn't matter if all things are lost. A perfect test bed.

A perfect test bed. Perfect. Exchange is pretty good in that you have to manually set a database as 'can be overwritten by a restore' before it will actually write over it. I have now upgraded to 2.2.0 (now that the Debian packages are out) and tested in a production system a backup (now part of my nightly backup) and then a restore into the 'Recovery Storage Group' (need 2.2.0 to do the regexwhere). I'll leave it go a few nights to try and catch any memory leaks or anything, and fix a little bug where the restore completes on the client, but doesn't properly tell the director about it, so the director eventually times out and marks the job as failed. Once I've fixed that and added some documentation, I'll put another test release up. Other things still to do: . Test incremental and differential backups (should work but untested) . Test restores of the above (probably won't work) . Really properly handle errors better - almost certainly leaves resources open currently, and certainly doesn't tell the director about them properly (very cryptic messages) . Get MD5/SHA and GZIP working . Go back and update the MSSQL agent. James - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

I'm sure you'll get lots of testers for this. Sorry, but I can't help with testing: no Exchange here. -- Dan Langille - http://www.langille.org/ Available for hire: http://www.freebsddiary.org/dan_langille.php - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
