[Based on version 5.x]

I think bacula will check the file system type _only_ if you specify it, and default to “everything” when you omit it.

You can’t even use it for Windows clients.

 

I don’t specify ‘fstype=’ anywhere, and my backups run fine, of local disks as well as NFS shares (that’s how I back up a NAS on which I can’t install a file daemon).

 

As far as I understood it, it is optional; you can specify zero, one or more filesystem types to include; and the main (or only) reason why it exists is so you can avoid getting into an endless loop traversing mount points when you set onefs = no.

 

 

 

Yeah, I actually thought about that. So I did an estimate and it came up with:

2000 OK estimate files=49,851 bytes=23,481,423,809

 

Didn’t do a estimate listing till you mentioned it, here it is:

2000 OK estimate files=49,851 bytes=23,481,423,809

 

 

I cant omit the fstype = nfs, as bacula will fail since bacula checks for that.

 

 

Well, my file set is pretty simple:

FileSet {

Name = M2KFileSet

  Include {

    Options {

      signature = MD5

      compression = GZIP

      _onefs_ = no

      fstype = nfs

    }

    File = /mnt/nfs/hsigux

  }

}

 

I find it hard to believe it’s compressing 33GB of data down to 3GB.. haha

 

Back up level is always full for this job, if I go into restore, it appears all files have been copied. It’s just there are so many I cant really easily notice if anything was omitted.. I did noticed some files have different owner and group. There are some like:

drwxrwxr-x  14 111      75

drwxrwxr-x   9 111      75             

drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root             

drwxr-xr-x   3 root     75               

drwxr-xr-x   9 113      ntp 

 

Maybe the root mapping on NFS is not working right, but if that was the case bacula would complain about it like it did before.

 

Thanks

Compression?

Backup level (files not backed up because they haven't been changed)?

Exclusions?

Have you gone through a full list of files to be backed up and a full list of the files which were actually backed up?

Hello,

 

I have 2 HP-UX 11.31 and I have ERP data I need to back up on those systems. Since there is no client for it, I decided to copy the files to a temp location every night, and export that temp folder via NFS. I mount these exports into my bacula server and set it up so that it backs up those mount point.

 

Everything seems to be working, however, the total size of the ERP data is about 33GB, but bacula is only copying 3.2GB, I see no errors in the bacula app, logs or the bacula server itself. There are no errors on any of the HP-UX servers either..

 

Any ideas on what to do? Or detect why bacula it is stopping at 3.2GB and marking the job as OK..?

 

Thanks
