the SD Daemon Command Line Options Creating a Pool Labeling Your Volumes Labeling Volumes with bareos cannot find any appendable volumes the Console Program A Brief Tutorial This chapter will guide you through running Bacula. To do so, we assume you have installed Bacula, possibly in a single file as shown in the previous chapter, in which case, you can run Bacula as non-root for these tests. However, we assume that you have not changed the .conf files. If you https://sourceforge.net/p/bacula/mailman/message/17312195/ have modified the .conf files, please go back and uninstall Bacula, then reinstall it, but do not make any changes. The examples in this chapter use the default configuration files, and will write the volumes to disk in your /tmp directory, in addition, the data backed up will be the source directory where you built Bacula. As a consequence, you can run all the Bacula daemons for these tests as non-root. Please note, in http://www.bacula.org/2.4.x-manuals/en/main/Brief_Tutorial.html production, your File daemon(s) must run as root. See the Security chapter for more information on this subject. The general flow of running Bacula is: cd

I've done that, three times, and tried rerunning the job but now the NAS unit attached to the bacula box is nearly full (mostly with hundreds of volumes from aborted full backups of this server). I don't care if this job wraps around from the final volume and starts overwriting cannot find the first and subsequent volumes. How can I configure bacula to do that so that this job can run to completion?

That will allow Bacula to recycle those volumes. OTOH, you don't give much information about why it failed three times, so the same problem might happen again (hint: post the full logs). __Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WhatsUp Gold - Down
