Hi all, I'm planning to use Bacula in production environment. I've seen the Bacula packages are not provided neither by any official repo nor any third popular repo (as rpmforge). ?Anyone use bacula in CentOS 5? -- Thanks, Jordi Espasa Clofent

Hi all, We have a bit of a problem with backups. We've been using bacula to tape and now trying to disk but it's a complete nightmare as regards tape management. The backup to file storage went ok for ages and now is stuck 'waiting for max storage jobs' which is odd as that's set to 20 and it's the only backup running. That's totally typical of bacula. Can anyone

We're using RMAN to back up our 9.2 RAC database to an OCFS v1 volume. We have an existing shell script that we use for copying files from disk to tape via tar, one file at a time. (Don't ask why. It's a legacy script. Long story.) We're tweaking this script to use --o_direct when tarring the file to tape and that seems to be working fine: # tape device is /dev/nst0 $ tar

How does everyone feel about using Quantum LTO 3 and 4 tapes with Bacula for backing up both the VM's, Host, as well as from within the VM's. What are know good backup solutions? Can anyone name specific tape drives / software that is working. Lee -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi Friends !!! I have one xen server (debian etch) already in production; there are samba, squid, 2 ldap servers , apache2, postgresql and others, 8 virtual machines at total in a hardware raid5. Now I need a backup system, and i will use bacula with a dell ultrium3 LTO. I would like to know if there are problems with i/o? How can I connect a DomU directly to /dev/st0 of Dom0

I have an Overland tape library connected, via SCSI card, to an out-of-box, full install of C5 install on an old PC. I have a script that uses tar to archive data to tape and mtx to change tapes. What I don't know, if possible, is to obtain the status of how much tape is left in the drive. If I get a write failure, I'd like to know if the tape is bad or has run out of space. I

Hi list, I created my rpm for Bacula 9.4.1 reading centos srpm spec files. I made a single package and not split in several packages because this is my first rpm so I created my spec file taking a cue from bacula-5.3 spec file. All works as intended, an rpm was created and installed without any not fixable issue. After installing my bacula rpm I run a test to see if all works as expected.

So I thought I'd get a head start for next week - I have a low-power Linux box that has a few samba shares mounted, and limited hard disk space. This box is connected to a tape library via SCSI card. I want to find the best way to create a full, then incremental backup of the samba mounts, directly to tape. Some of the samba mounts are appliances that cannot run any special

I tried to install the latest bacula last night, rebuilding from the source rpm ... this is the command line I used, following the instructions at bacula.org: # rpmbuild --rebuild --define "build_centos4 1" \ --define "build_x86_64 1" --define "build_mysql4 1" bacula-1.39.26-1.src.rpm but the rebuild fails, citing all sorts of dependencies being required. problem

Hi there, In my last request I have asked info about backuppc and other backup solutions. After some test I have choosen bacula. Many people said it's too complex and try to make it works is a challenge. I've tested backuppc and I don't like it for a stupid reason... I must install on centos external software, configure a web server with cgi with suid enabled (apache does not have

Can anyone recommend a repo for the latest version of Bacula, compiled for x64? I see Singh has the i386 version in his Centos-Misc repo, but nothing shows up when I do a yum list bacula* on my 64bit systems. Thanks for any advice! Gordon

Hey folks, Ok so I'm having another issue with SELinux. However I think I'm pretty close to a solution and just need a nudge in the right directtion. I wrote a puppet module that gets systems into bacula backups. Part of the formula is to distribute key/cert pairs with permissions that allow bacula to read them so that bacula can talk to the host over TLS. It's pretty slick, I must

We are presently looking into alternative backup strategies for our networked servers and are considering Bacula. Does anyone have any opinions on this application, good and bad, to share? Further, is there a CentOS4 specific rpm build available for this in a yum repository (I note that CentOS4 tags have been added to the Bacula source tree)? Regards, Jim -- *** e-mail is not a

Hi Fabio, thanks for your reply. (I'm new with bacula). To make things more clear: 1) Reinstall CentOS and software; 2) Configure database and import catalog 3) Copy last valid configuration for dir, sd,fd and console. 4) Re-attach my disk backup device with last volumes That's all? Another question is about Catalog backup. When I need to restore a backup, bacula reads catalog and

Hi everyone, I have a Samba server on CentOS 5.2 that I would like to and some backup service to, I have been trying to install Bacula, because I want to backup MS machines too, and there is a web GUI. But when searching around i google I get a bit confused. about what packages I need. Has anyone got bacula running on Centos or maybe guide in the right direction. Tronn -------------- next part

Hello, Tying to setup bacula but it seems the package(s) are missing the mysql file to set up the database. I see some updatedb files to upgrade a mysql database but none for a new installation. TIA

Hi list, another question about bacula, but this time about restoring backups. I've a server that I must backup every day. My plan is: from mon to sat incrimental backup and on sunday full backup. When I will perform a restore I must restore from last valid full backup and then all valid incremental backup from last backup to specific date. This server has aweb managed application where
