Hi! I have a somewhat unusual Bacula setup as we're backing call records produced by a call-center software -- so the files are tiny in size, there is very large number of them produced daily, they a

how about archiving the 'tiny' items into larger tar- or zip-files on a regular basis (say every 15 minutes) and then only backup the archives. Konstantin Khomoutov schrieb: -- Mit besten Grüßen / Ki

The thing is that having "low-level addressing" data in a bootstrap file allows Bacula to be blazing fast in positioning the tape to the beginning of the required backup's data. If the only thing you

Here is the example of the bsr file format I have used in the past (in this example a job spreads through two volumes): Volume = volume-0003 VolSessionId = 592 VolSessionTime = 1435614003 Volume = vo

The bsr format has an undocumented keyword VolAddr (which Bacula uses when it writes a bsr). When present, it overrides VolFile and VolBlock like this: VolAddr = (VolFile << 32) + VolBlock __Martin
Hello Martin, Thanks for mentioning that VolAddr is undocumented. That was an oversight that I will fix. Please be aware that VolAddr is a relatively new bsr keyword, so it will not work on older Bac

Too bad for us: for administrative reasons we're stuck with 5.2.6 on the box which is our tape SD. OK, so given that I can't use VolAddr with 5.2.6's bextract, is there a way to make use of the two p

Answering my other question: [...] [...] As it turned out -- I've tried to do a restore of the most recent such backup to have Bacula generate a bootstrap file for me, -- 5.2.6 is perfectly able to m
Hello, That is good to know. You probably already know two things, but I mention them for those who do not know: 1. There is a chapter (or at least a section) in the main manual on how to create boot
