I already use Data encryption because I want the content of my Tape to be encrypted. The aspect that's boring me in communication is that authentication / commands / console access is sent clearly over the network. I am not sure of what security level the File Daemon encryption only can provide. I

Hi, There is a big difference in the size of individual jobs, they range from maybe 30Gb to 300Gb. No individual job would be multi terabyte. The number of clients combined would be over 1 TB for a given day, rather than an individual job. I used 5Gb as it was a suggested size in the bacula docum

Hi, You make a good point. I stuck with the 5Gb as keeping small volumes aids restore times and reduces possibility of corruption affecting a large part of the backups in the event of a disk fault, as indicated in the documentation, which, as you say, may not be appropriate for my setup any more,

I have one particular restore which only brings back ~11,500 files out of 980,000 on a full backup. Using Bextract and attempting to restore the job that way gives the same result. There are no errors except that the job was expecting a lot more files than actually came back. The odd thing i
