[Bacula-users] "waiting to reserve a device"?

Hi all, I thought I had this nailed, but bacula went silent on me with no runs Monday or Tuesday nights. Tonight I received this cryptic email: 02-Aug 02:05 devel2-sd: Job devel2.2007-08-02_02.05.00 waiting to reserve a device. Tape is mounted, it's from my Daily pool for incrementals. No ot

I've had to make some adjustments during my trials of bacula and my MediaID numbering sequence is way off. My current LAST tape is labeled "Tape-10" with a MediaID of 10. If I put in a fresh new tape and label it "Tape-11", the MediaID would probably be like 41 or 42 or so because of the deleti

Not without losing all your back-ups. With disk, it is best to set a volume limit so that it will create multiple back-up files. These will look like tapes and bacula will be able to prune and recycle these, freeing up disk space the size of the back-up file. You may be able to use bcopy to extract

The way the backup should work is that once the backup begins, all database operations should be written to the 'log' file so that the main database file is consistent. Once that backup is complete, all logs can be written back to the database file. There is some performance penalty obviously, but

Based on my research, i found out that backing up MySQL is quite un-efficient. On a small database, you can just dump the contents of MySQL into a file and then backup that file. On a large database (several Gigs) dumping to a file should be avoided, for example, on a hosting service the dump c
