I'm not sure that there's any way other than running FD in a debug mode (and sufficiently high debug as well). At least I don't know of any. On 07/01/2021 14:40, 'Frank Kirschner | Celebrate Records GmbH' via bareos-users wrote: Is there a way to monitor the FD during collecting the files to

Is there a way to monitor the FD during collecting the files to see, how long it take to handle each directory in a file set? Am 07.01.2021 um 14:08 schrieb Spadajspadaj: Of course. It's all a matter of personal preference and personal needs. There is one caveat though about full jobs and back

Of course. It's all a matter of personal preference and personal needs. There is one caveat though about full jobs and backup speed. It's all ok if you're backing up just files and have no problem reading them with the filedaemon. If you have some uncommon scenarios (like backing up shares via

Okay, interesting discussion. My full backup has at the moment 1,8 TB, Spooling time from the FD to the SD is around 15 hours, because there is a mail archive with a lot of small files. Despooling is done in 3h 51min. This was with a block size of 63 k, I have now increase it to 1M The backu

Yup this is a personal decision, that's right and every sysadmin should check their own needs and possibilities. We have 6TB (15TB compression) LTO-7 cartridges and about 20 TB of data. I decided to do it this way because I read in the originally bacula book (from Philippe Storz) how backup is

Well, not everyone has long enough tapes to always do full backups ;-) After all the whole concept of Inc and Diff backups didn't come from nothing. On 07/01/2021 13:10, 'DUCARROZ Birgit' via bareos-users wrote: Hi, Another possibility is not to spool and not to backup incremental nor differ

Hi, Another possibility is not to spool and not to backup incremental nor differential jobs. For restoring speed and for your tape health it is better to always do full backups, especially if you have no autochanger. I deleted all jobs which do no full backup. I did the configuration in a

I believe you'd have to have two different jobs. You'd have to create a disk-based storage and firstly doing a backup job there, then have a migrate job to a tape pool. I'm thinking of similar setup myself since I have sometimes problems with getting to the server to change tapes so I would li

Hi there, this is my schedule set: Schedule { Name = "CR-WeeklyCycle" Run = Level=Full 1st sun at 7:00 Run = Level=Differential 2nd-5th sun at 7:00 Run = Level=Incremental mon-sat at 7:00 } The backup is stored on a LTO tape, changed manually - no autoloader. Looking on the schedule, a
