[Bacula-users] NFS or bacula-fd, which one is faster?

Hi, I have a Linux NFS fileserver which has to be backed up to a bacula server on another Linux box. The fileserver in question exports everything that's needed to be backed up so all files are actually accessible on bacula server via NFS as well. Should I run my backups via a remote bacula-fd

[Bacula-users] dual-NICs and traffic balancing

Hi, I am having trouble with my dual-NIC servers: it seems there is no way to force bacula client on a remote server use a particular fixed interface/address for data transfers. Even though I have set FDAddress to a preferred one in bacula-fd.conf on the client, it will still bind to a wrong

[Bacula-users] Random tape capacity figures

Hi, I am running bacula 1.36.1 with Qualstar RLS-4445 autochanger and a single DDS tape drive installed. The tapes used are all Sony SDX3-100C (100GB native/260GB compressed capacity). I have noticed that VolBytes and VolFiles values vary widely for tapes marked as Full in media list command

Hi, I have been using bacula for 5 years now and finally comes the first time I need to do a major restore from our tapes. I read the tutorial, tried the instructions and it seemingly worked as designed (I haven't run actual restore yet) but I am not sure which exactly files it was going to
