There may be a better solution, but I've been using a script of my own
devising to wake and keep (at least Windows) machines awake during a

I'm not an expert, but my guess would be that no, this won't affect which

My bacula installation supports night-time backups of several Windows
machines (win7 and xp) that are typically suspended when the backups start
from a Linux-based server. I made sure to enable Wake-on-LAN on all of the
windows clients, and arranged a script to wake them, but Windows often

the make_catalog_backup script would need to be changed to have a different

I've actually not used encryption, but certainly encryption will mean
that you will get no benefit from whatever compression your tape

I have what sounds like it is a less-powerful system than yours, and I
see significantly faster performance from Bacula 3.0.2 (and before that
with 2.4 and earlier). My system uses a 3ware 9500 connected merely via
32-bit PCI, and I have a single separate spool drive connected via the

This should probably work its way into the manual, but a warning for
anyone who tries to move to significantly larger Maximum Network Buffer
Size numbers:
At least in bacula-1.38, Maximum Network Buffer Size _must_ be less than
51, or restores will crash the storage daemon. I was playing with
ng to adapt
to 1.38 from 1.36, as well as switching to LTO2 from DDS4, so it could
well be pilot error for me, but at least I found a workaround, and that
workaround was effective 3 times last night (my home media server is way
too big...3 LTO2 tapes!).
