Re: [Bacula-users] disk full, need to reset and upgrade

Hi Richard,

My current backup have loads of un necessary data...

That's why I'd like to reset my bacula.

Also to re-work the exclude list I've setup and that doesn't work, I need to know what file was backup during the last job.

How I do that ?

I've tryed to browse the mysql database, but filename are in blob which is not handy for browesing.

Thomas.

Hi Thomas,

It isn't clear from your message what you are asking for help with. That said I have made some comments inline below.

One other thing :

I've set to 40 volumes.
When all volume were filled up, I was expecting bacula to recycle the first volume... but it didn't, I had to increase the number of volume...

Hi,

I've been using bacula to backup remote hosts through ssh connection.

It works well except that :

* a lot of data is backed up on remote host uselessly (as log
file ...)
* I need to upgrade to bacula 3.x to have the exclude feature...
but I'm running on ubuntu and would like to keep the apt-get
update feature working for bacula
* My hardrives are full. While I didn't have a NAS ready, I set
the backup directory to /backup on my primary disks (raid1).
I now have 2.7TB in Raid5 on a nas mounted in /mnt/backup

What I would like is :

* upgrade to v3 and backup only what is needed (with the exclude
feature)

It isn't clear if Exclude is the only reason why you want to upgrade to v3 but the Exclude directive in FileSet has been there for a long time and it certainly exists in the 2.x series. There is no need to upgrade to get that functionality.

* delete all existing backup in /backup (150GB)

* start backing up on /mnt/backup

Why not just copy/move the data from /backup into /mnt/backup and then change your -sd configuration to point to /mnt/backup. That way you can keep all of your existing backups and get your setup correctly configured without too much disruption.

Before you copy the data you should ensure that no backups are currently running and stop the -sd before moving the files. Once you have moved the files edit you bacula-sd.conf to point to the new location and restart the sd daemon.

Regards

Richard

my filesystem is almost full (96%) ...

Thanks for any help ;)
