Hi
I hope someone can help me with this question.
I am running:
*version
tullig-server-dir Version: 5.0.0 (26 January 2010) i686-pc-linux-gnu
ubuntu 9.10
To backup a few PC's at home. I was using bat to peruse the contents
of the incremental backups of one of these PCs this evening when I
found that, according to the bat version browser, a number of files
that really should be in the backups weren't there! Naturally I
threw my hands up in horror; if these files are missing from the
backup what else is missing.
The particular backup I was viewing was of a PC running Windows
Vista (32 bit) with the latest Bacula client on it. This PC is
dedicated to servicing an automated weather station (aws) I run so
it takes data from the aws and stores it in a number of report
formats. The entire aws software set is installed in C:\vws. Here's
my FileSet definition:
FileSet {
Name =
"TulligWeather"
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
compression =
GZIP
}
File = "C:/vws"
}
#
# Exclude these files
#
Exclude {
File = *.exe
File = *.dll
# File = *.jpg
}
}
Under C:\vws\data there's a number of subdirectories containing
text files, things like \archive, \csv, \daily, \ globe. These all
get backed up OK. However there's also a directory
C:\vws\data\noaa which contains .txt files. There's one file for
every month and an annual file. The current month file gets
written to every 5 minutes and the annual file gets written to
every hour.
So why aren't these two files being backed up as part of each
daily incremental backup?
I've not specified any Accurate settings so Bacula should be
using mcs. As the files are modified often each day, and certainly
the monthly file grows each day, I would have though mcs would
have covered it nicely.
I'm very concerned now that it appears not only are these
important files not being archived; but can I trust Bacula to
backup what I expect it to backup?
