Re: [Bacula-users] Maximum Part Size in File

AFAIK that would create more than 1 volume. Maximum part size will split a single volume into parts, which is want i want. In the catalog i want to have 1 volume since it is all the same backup, but in actual files i want smaller (< 2GB files since that causes problems in some OS) files.

Am I missing something here??

Thanks for the reply

here is the config i'm using
any idea why is that? is that directive ignored for local files (not
according to the docs)?? it is creating a single 2.5GB file

Device {
  Name = "To Burn"
  Media Type = File
  Archive Device = /var/backups/bacula/dvd
  LabelMedia = yes;                   # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
  Random Access = Yes;
  AutomaticMount = yes;               # when device opened, read it
  RemovableMedia = no;
  AlwaysOpen = no;
  Device Type = File
  *Maximum Part Size = 1049.6M;* #to create 4 files in a 4.7GiB dvd, it
adds up to 4.1GB and the disk is 4.3GB
}

i'm using bacula 2.4.2

I think you need to actually set the Max Volume size if you're using
file volumes. Try the Maximum Volume Bytes directive.
