I'm hoping *someone* here has worked a bit with bareos. I've tried posting to the google groups for it... and haven't even had one person view my post....
It was working fine, backing up windows boxes for months. Then, about a week ago, the server got a regular yum update, and rebooted... and it's broken. A job will start... and just keep running forever (as in, over the weekend) and never end; normally, they were all done in a few hours.
I stopped bareos-dir, then -fd, then -sd, restarted, no joy. Then I tried shutting them all down, and service restart postgres, and *then* starting up -sd, -fd and -dir. I was starting them manually Friday, and they'd run and finish. But the nightly b/u, a job started... and was still running yesterday.
Anyone have any ideas?
Just one idea, and it's not a promising one:
Any chance that the Windows client is spinning trying to backup cygwin files, specifically /var/log/lastlog?
Nope. I'm *explicitly* telling bareos to back up c:/Users/, and, in a couple of cases, d:/ or e:/ - we don't care about the system or logs at all. If something happens, desktop support will ghost reimage them.
And it was working with no trouble....
