Hi,
We have Solaris 10 Servers, 3x Sun V240, one of them is the backup-server
with the storage deamon and director the others are backed up to the tape at

The backup-server has a 1.3GHz CPU and 1Gb RAM, U320 SCSI-Kontroller (on

Hi all,
some weeks ago I already asked naerly the same and someone told me, thet

I'm thinking about a backup strategy like the following:

To upgrade Windows clients (from the 1.37 beta), does the setup package need to
be run or
is it enough to simply switch the bacula-fd.exe to the new one?
If the setup needs to be run, is there a silent install?
Thank You

I'm running bacula 1.38 and now trieing to setup my tape autoloader.
It's a simple DDS4 Autoloader with 1 drive (nst0), 6 tapes (1-6) and 1

I would be curious to know what problem this solved. I doubt that Bacula will
compile without --enable-smartalloc simply because I have never tried it.
It did'nt resolved anything..
I also disableb gzip compression at the same time.
If I enable gzip I have the same low speed (with or w/o
--enable-smartalloc).
At the moment bacula runs fast enougth. The only problem to solve is
OS/Hardware related. My Tape runs at an other machine with 17-20Mb/

Bacula is going to "prefer" to put all jobs on the first available tape,
unless you specify different pools (i.e. different Volumes), or tell Bacula
to not prefer an active drive, or explicitly specify a drive -- see the

I'd disable gzip anyway, let the drive with it's dedicated compression
do the work. Also, make sure that on your Sun boxes you have the
Gigabit ethernet cards (if not using the onboard ones) in the 66mhz
PCI slots, and not the 33mhz ones.
