Is there any way that ClearOS will backup user data to an internal DLT drive? I noticed on boot up it detects the drive, but I cannot find anyway in which I can schedule a backup locally? Unfortunately if ClearOS is unable to do this, then its back to SMEServer, sorry

Cheers

yum install app-bacula

Hey tbearskistad thanks for that

I now have Bacula installed, but it doesn't see my LTO drive. It only sees the 3 hard disks and DVD. I have done lspci and it shows the following: -



Is this the HP SCSI controller card or the actual LTO device? If it is the device, how do I get Bacula to see it?

I did this in CC4.x, there is a line in a config file somewhere, that needs to be uncommented, thus making tape drives visible in the webconfig.

Just can't find the documentation right now, but I'm also setting up Bacula, so when I eventually find that config, I can post it here

Think this is it:
ccforums.clearfoundation.com/showflat.ph...mp;page=8#Post101897

the result from the lspci command above is the scsi controller card not the DLT device.
you should run "lsscsi" to list all scsi devices.

Hi tbearskistad,

Sorry I was on a course all last week and only now have had a chance to edit the php file. Once I edit this file, how do I get ClearOS to read the changes, do I have to reboot?

@ James Randal - tried lsscsi and I got an error "-bash: lsscsi: command not found"

OK update

I installed lsscsi and this is the output of said command: -



I edited the Bacula.class.php as per your instructions and added: -



I then stopped and restarted all the Bacula services and yet, the output of the Auto-Detect (Storage) Hardware is: -



Should I also edit : - /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf as well?

Cheers

Hi Guys,

So, everything has been ticking over quite nicely with Bacula. Except a few nights ago it hit a wall. The daily backup has been working great guns. It has been backing up to a different tape each night, but now it has hit a snag. It keeps asking for tape 0008 to be inserted for each daily backup.

So my question is how do I get it Bacula to start the rotation from tape 0001 once it hits tape 0010. I have tried looking at the Bacula manual and its very, erm how shall I put this, detailed. A bit like Arcserve manual.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

I think I may have cracked this, not sure . Trawling around various forums I have found that Bacula is different from Backup Exec, so I have had a steep learning curve. Basically to have a daily tape rotation you cannot use just the one pool, so I have had to add 5 pools and set a maximum of 2 tapes per pool. I have had to schedule 5 different weekly jobs to run through Monday to Friday and each pointing to their correct pools.

If this turns out to be spot on, I will have daily backups each using different tapes and a cycle of 10 days. I shall let you guys know how I got on.
