Re: [Bacula-users] Difficulty configuring bacula to execute ~600gig of archive backup

2007-01-22 Thread Paul England
Hi Dan,

Both of the servers are running Debian Sarge, both running 2.6 kernels.

I don't have iptables running on either machine..

 Regardless, try the Heart Beat Interval both in the File daemon and 
the Storage daemon and set an interval of say five minutes.

So there is no way to resume the job?  

What is the best way to go about formatting/reusing the tapes?

Thank you,

- Paul

  The storage daemon (running on portia) is connected to an 8 slot auto
  changer which is configured and works correctly.  Each tape is 200GB
  before compression.
  
  On the second box (pandora) is a ~600 gig directory which gets larger by
  ~25 gig each month.  These files don't get deleted or modified.
  
  I am trying to setup an incremental bacula job to backup these files to
  tape.
  
  Here are my job and pool resources so far:
  
  
  
  Job {
Name = Daily_Archive_Job
Client = pandora-fd
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
FileSet = Archive
Storage = Tape
Messages = Standard
Pool = Daily_Archive_Pool
Schedule = Daily_Cycle
Priority = 5
Write Bootstrap = /var/lib/bacula/Daily_Archive_Job.bsr
  }
  
  Pool {
Name = Daily_Archive_Pool
Pool Type = Backup
AutoPrune = no
Volume Retention = 99y
Recycle = no
  }
  
  
  
  When I run this job it stops after the tape is full and asks me to use
  the label command to add another volume to the pool.
  
  I ejected the tape, inserted a blank tape, labeled it and the job
  started running again.
  
  It appeared to write data for about 2 hours before giving me an error
  about Connection timed out.
  
  The two servers are connected by crossover cable at 100 Mbps
  Full-Duplex.
  
  Does anyone have any suggestion where to go from here?
 
 That two hour period reminds of of this:

 See the last section at that URL.  You didn't mention operating 
 systems I'm guessing one of them is Windows.
 
 Regardless, try the Heart Beat Interval both in the File daemon and 
 the Storage daemon and set an interval of say five minutes.

Correct.

You can purge the volume, try that.
