Re: [Bacula-users] Backing up MS SQL server with Bacula?

Hi, thank you all for your ideas. @James The idea of your client sounds very good. Seems to be a great plugin for Exchange - perhaps sometime for MSSQL, too. At the moment I'm not able to you use VSS because the operating system is Windows 2000 Server an we are using MS SQL Server 2000, so

[Bacula-users] Backing up MS SQL server with Bacula?

Hi list, anyone backuped a MS SQL server with Bacula? Is this somehow possible - are there any plugins for that or do I have to use the built-in backup functionality of the MS SQL server and backup the database dumps / transaction logs later with Bacula? Matthias

[Bacula-users] Does the File-Daemon store temporary files?

Hi list, does the Bacula File-Daemon store temporary files on the client if I use the gzip compression? If so where can I find this temporary fileson Windows and Linux systems? Is there a max. size for the temporary storage or is it all done on-the-fly so no additional storage space is needed?

[Bacula-users] What happens if I won't change a full tape?

[Bacula-users] Compress files on storage daemon and not on client

Hi everyone, I'm just getting used to Bacula and I'm really impressed about it! But one thing bothers me: I'm using the built-in gzip compression. The files to backup are always compressed on the client side so that the client has a lot of cpu usage at that time. As I'm using a dedicated storage

[Bacula-users] Backup to disk AND tape

Hi everyone, I want to use Bacula to backup my files to disk AND to tape at the same time. The backup on disk should be available for 3 months or so while the backup on tape should not be overwritten before 12 months. Is this possible with Bacula? How do I accomplish this without the need to run
