[Bacula-users] Bacula status

Hello, With two exceptions, the next version (2.2.0) of Bacula is now ready: 1. I am currently working on pruning inchanger volumes that have the Scratch pool as their recycle pool (see my recent email on this). If all goes well it will be completed this week. 2. A number of new featu

[Bacula-users] Bacula references

Hi, We are a team who have many deployments of Bacula in Spain (including regional goverments) with a different kind of hardware (auto-loaders and libraries), and we need succesfull references from other users (in Spain and oustide) for a new Public Administration backup project. We hope, you

[Bacula-users] Job Retention strangeness

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, we've been relying on Bacula for quite a while now and are very satisfied users. However, I just noticed a strangeness with regard to Job Retention on 1.38.9: It appears to be obeyed only for our differential backup jobs, _not_ for the full b

Re: [Bacula-users] Job Retention strangeness

Hi Andreas, You could try to update volume parameters on the volumes used for full backup - perhaps the volumes were created before you defined the File retention of 60 days - and it's one of the parameters that are stored on the volume itself (my bacula server is currently unavailable - so I can'

Re: [Bacula-users] volume/pool help

Thank you. I think I confused myself when I tried to put differentials on dump2 and fulls on dump1 for all clients. I was having some problem getting the catalog backup to work. I may have corrupted things when fixing that the other day without even realizing it. I will re-create everything

[Bacula-users] Pools and Retention

Dear List, This is my first e-mail, im toying around with Bacula for quite some time now and i must say im quite impressed with its possibilites. Currently i think i have tested backup roughly enough to replace our current backup system (a simple tar czvf ;)). I have about 14 clients configured

[Bacula-users] To rewind or not to rewind...

that is my question. My mtx-changer script currently contains mt -f $device rewoffl in the "unload" routine. I don't believe that my tapes should be being rewound, but I'm just not sure. Basically, if the tape is in PoolA and a job runs that needs a tape from PoolB, it will rewind the tape fro
