[Bacula-users] restarting bacula

2007-02-03 Thread Miki Lewinger
Hi there, - Is there any way to restart bacula (/etc/bacula/bacula restart or /etc/init.d/bacula-ctl-dir restart) without losing the currently running jobs ? - I have a job that is "stuck" in the running jobs for a long time, and has already been canceled in the console. However, it still shows

Hello, I've been using bacula for a couple years, backing up several servers to an HP DAT40x6 autochanger. It has worked great! However, I had a failure on my backup server and I've now rebuilt it, installing recent bacula versions, and an additional large hard drive. So I now have a 500GB hard

You may want to get the VXA tools from the web site, probably exabyte.com, since they bought Ecrix. The vxaTool is the best way to control compression; I am not sure that mt will do that. I know that here mt does not work to eject tapes where vxaTool does. -- -- Michael
