Hi Rickinfl,

it sound like you are using filestorage - is that correct?

If so, you probably forgot to setup "Pool Options to Limit the Volume Usage" (see: http://www.bacula.org/5.2.x-manuals/en/main/main/Basic_Volume_Management.html)

This way you end up with one file per pool on that grows till you run out of space - no recycling or retention is happening that way.

Bacula has a great mailing list - and a far as I know there are forums based on the mailing list. For paid support you can check out baculasystem: http://www.baculasystems.com/

Don't be setup up. Bacula might be more complicated to configure than other products (at least the open source version). But it is incredibly flexible and robust.

Kind regards

Julian

Hi,

Is there any other good software than Bacula?  I've just totally had it with Bacula. There is no support and every system I've setup crashes because it will not purge/prune or recycle the pool. It just fills up and crashes. I have everything set to 30 days and have plenty of space for 3 months so every 3 Months one of my system just crashes and stops backing up the others do the exact same thing after the hard drive fills.

I just don't get it. I've run many different backup softwares (Microsoft) before never in my life had such and nightmare of an issue. I must be plain stupid or brain dead because I've never been so upset at a piece of software in my life like I have have been with Bacula!  Support? oh that's a joke they don't even have a forum.

I'm just so totally over this.  Can someone point me in a direction? My servers are CentOS boxes.

Thanks,
