Hi all.
First, thanks for all the work contributers have done to create an
outstanding product!
Now, the issue.
version 1.38.11
OS: RedHat el4
storage: 1 3T RAID, 1 HP SCSI tape drive
I've been running bacula for like this for about a year (recently
upgraded from 1.38.7). I've always started
I haven't seen the whole thread, so forgive me if I'm off balance
here.
Check the duration of from the beginning of the job to the time of the
failure. If it is consistent, it maybe the same problem I had. There
was a discussion on the list at the time that said to use the heartbeat
function,
used the same
routines..., who knows.
Yes, well written Windows can do a good job. I just don't see why I
would want to use something I don't need, and that might hinder
resolving problems when do show up.

Hi Robert,
This comment is in reference to the conversation about using HP Windows
Drivers.
In my conversations with HP and other vendors about drivers and tape
drives on Windows, the consensus seemed to be that using Windows drivers
created more problems that they solved. Their advice was to
me crunch is over.
I haven't had to recall an offsite tape for an "oops" restore, yet...

Nick,
I use a similar approach with one significant difference and a few small
ones.
I have have periodic (daily and weekly) pools and write (in parallel
jobs for all the clients) all the backups to one volume to save disk
space and reduce the management complexity. This media goes off site.

I built mine from source, using tiger. After the first is done, you can
either copy the app to other servers and mod the confs, or compile on
all.

I'm using HP servers with the 2-channel 320 SCSI cards by symbios. No

I don't personally do this, but (here in the US) I've heard of people

I'm going to restore my catalog and query the pool table ([8-)) back to

We once used ftp -v to send files over the problematic connection.
This will give you statistics on the throughput. Run it in each
direction between the servers. If one direction only gets about
7-10mbps, then you may have a mismatch of duplex and/or speed settings.

You say how many jobs run each day, but not how many tapes are written.
In this case, the number of tapes is more relevant than the number of

several common ones, so don't necessarily use the first one you see.

Thanks Arno! That'll go in my notes for when I have to rebuild or

I don't know about the workstation version of OS X, but on the servers I
use LaunchServices. Haven't done a lot with it, so doubt I can help
much with it.

George,
I backup 8 Mac XServers (10.4) with bacula. My skills are mostly CLI.
I used the normal compile instructions (--enable-client-only...), though
I had to install some dependencies to do the compile. I did all this
the same as I do on 'nix systems.
Then, I copied the bacula files to t
.
But, again, thanks for the clue. Now I know about cloning, and some
other info I caught in the process.

I'm preparing to upgrade from 1.38.7. My current nightly process looks
like this:

2. Backup to file.

volumes.

This is a great presentation that I will use at work to help build

As a reminder, the director/sd/database system is supporting 20
concurrent jobs, 10 to tape and 10 to raid. It's a 2-cpu hp dl380 G4,
3.4GHz cpus and 3.5Gb ram.

The jobs are written to both the raid and the tape at almost identical
speeds. I don't know what my total throughput is, but the transfer rate
for each job is about 1.5mbps to 3mbps.

I have a 7-disk raid fibre attached and a lto3 scsi attached to my sd,
and I get the same throughput for both. I run 10 jobs (two from each
client) to each store concurrently.
I don't think the medium or the connection are the holdup. My network
throughput at that time varies around 750 mbps.

This looks familiar, maybe a similar posting from a few weeks back.
I had a similar problem and it was caused by the client name in the fd
conf and the director files not matching perfectly. I had fqdn on the
client, but only the server name on the director.
I use host files on bacula servers/
This isn't specific to OS X, but once I did burn a bit of time solving
similar symptoms.
On one occasion I used the fqdn in the local conf file, but the director
was configured with the hostname. I use local host files with both for
my bacula boxes. But, when I captured the traffic I saw that
Hi Jens,
I have the same problem with one of my OS X servers. But on mine, in

well and I have no other problems.
On my other OS X servers I don't have this problem. However, I did not
compile the daemon on each of them. I
I don't know specifically about the ltos, but when I used dlts and had

But, that is something I heard from someone who heard it from someone
else, not to mention that this is a business where vendors change their
practice
