Hello,
I'm trying to set up disk backup jobs. I've included my config at the
end of this msg, but i'm confused as to the difference between job
retention, and volume retention in the client definition, and volume
retention in the pool definition. I've read the bacula manual on these
topics, and
Thanks Arno, I will try this in the morning.

I would disagree with you here. What I want is to get back to a

Hey,
I do not have the control over the DNS server for either my windows machine
or the Unix Server. My Unix server which is also the bacula dir server
cannot ping my windows client by host name, and again I do not have the
control over the DNS server. So I guess I am left with the third option.

This is weird. Are you using a link or a udev rule to rename a nst device?

This is one for the developer's list.
I think it is a great idea! A configuration editor with 'smarts'
would eliminate 70% of the traffic the user list requests help on (my
guesstimation of course.)
The downside is there are so many other worthy features it will take
time or a champion to p
I have not seen this problem. For us, we have 3.6 GB of mem allocated to
Bacula (running on ESX server). During the back-up it always uses all the
memory and never swaps to disk, but after the job the memory is released.

Has anyone else seen this behavior? I am looking to install bacula and use it,
but this posting is making me think twice. I am unsure if want to us a
software with a memory leak that could possible cause my server to fail.

Folks,
I need help please. I'm rather busy for the next few weeks and
cannot answer these questions. They are from a journalist writing
about Bacula.
If you could fill in what you know, and someone else can fill in the
rest. Thank you.
