I believe there is a bug in bacula code that reads config file.
When I defined my fileset as follows, bacula was not compressing the data:
FileSet
{
Name = "lidp11 Set"
Ignore Fileset Changes = yes
Include
{
Options
{
compression=gzip
onefs=yes
signature = MD5
}
Options
{
WildDir = "*/.snapshot"
WildFile = "*/core"
WildDir = "/*/cob"
WildDir = "/*/dbcob"
exclude=yes
}
File=/
File=/dev
File=/opt
File=/var
File=/usr
File=/home
}
Exclude
{
Options
{
signature = MD5
}
File = /proc
File = /tmp
File = /.journal
File = /.fsck
}
}
When I changed the fileset so that compression is at the end of the include,
bacula started compressing data:
FileSet
{
Name = "lidp11 Set"
Ignore Fileset Changes = yes
Include
{
Options
{
onefs=yes
signature = MD5
}
Options
{
WildDir = "*/.snapshot"
WildFile = "*/core"
WildDir = "/*/cob"
WildDir = "/*/dbcob"
exclude=yes
}
File=/
File=/dev
File=/opt
File=/var
File=/usr
File=/home
Options
{
compression=gzip
}
}
Exclude
{
Options
{
signature = MD5
}
File = /proc
File = /tmp
File = /.journal
File = /.fsck
}
}
I was reading the "strange software compression problem" thread from Jan 2007
where Kern said that the code for SHA-256 and SHA-512 was broken and that he
had a patch for it. I am using MD5 and it still has same problem, the work
around is same as what Kern had mentioned in that thread.
Also, on AIX although bacula compresses the data, in the e-mail it still says
"Software Compression: None". The size of the backup without compression was
14GB and with compression it was 4.1GB.
