[bareos-users] Re: Script to identify collection of tapes to take offsite?

I can't speak to your query, however here's how I solve the offsite issue. I have a separate pool of tapes for offsite backups. I run a full backup to that pool every 2 weeks (the interval that I rotate tapes offsite). In the defaults for my offsite jobs I have RunScript { RunsOnClient =

Re: [bareos-users] Do Not Try to Run Duplicated Jobs

The handling of canceled jobs in bareos has caused me some issues, particularly because a canceled job is not considered success, so if you have rerun failed levels enabled you can end up running the same level over and over. My solution here deals with that by deleting the canceled jobs, which

Re: [bareos-users] How to copy the full backup to a USB hard drive weekly

First, make sure that your bootstrap files get written to that drive. This will help with recovery. It might be helpful to have a database dump there as well. A couple of options. 1) If your initial backups are using disk, you could just use rsync to keep the USB drive in sync at regular

Re: [bareos-users] Parallel tasks

You need to have multiple storage devices defined to have multiple jobs executing at the same time. Bareos can only write one job at a time to each storage device. Jon Schewe Research Scientist C: +1 612.263.2718 O: +1 952.545.5720 jon.sch...@rtx.com Raytheon

[bareos-users] Mail on error and skip canceled jobs

Is it possible to configure bareos to mail on errors, but skip sending emails on canceled jobs? I have the following currently: Messages { Name = Standard Description = "Reasonable message delivery -- send most everything to email address and to the console." # destination = address =

Re: [bareos-users] Tape Library Support

The tape drives would go into the library and there should be a SAS cable from the library to the computer. This will show up as multiple SCSI devices, one for each drive and one for the controller. It seems that most mainstream libraries work with mtx as the SCSI commands are standard across

Re: [bareos-users] autoloader recommendation

I believe most autoloaders are supported. If you can use mtx to talk to the loader, then Bareos can talk to it. I'm using a Dell PowerVault 124T. Jon Schewe Research Scientist C: +1 612.263.2718 O: +1 952.545.5720 jon.sch...@rtx.com Raytheon Technologies Raytheon

Re: Re: [bareos-users] some newbie questions

It sounds like you have the wrong hostname in the storage config for your director. Make sure your address isn't localhost in /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/storage/*.conf Storage { Address = 192.168.130.211 } The director sends this address in a message to the client telling the client where

Re: [bareos-users] some newbie questions

This may not be exactly what you want, but I spool my data to a disk and then stream to the tape drive. This keeps up a constant stream of data to the tape. In /etc/bareos/bareos-sd.d/device/tape.conf: Device { ... Maximum Spool Size = 1500Gb Spool Directory = /mnt/bacula-spool } In

[bareos-users] Odd messages coming out of Bareos

I'm using the 32-bit Ubuntu packages from http://download.bareos.org/bareos/release/latest/xUbuntu_16.04. I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 32-bit. I haven't rebuilt the machine with 64-bit yet, so I'm stuck with the 16.04 packages for now. I am backing up to a hard drive, so have run into the issue
