[Bacula-users] Exchange Plugin

[Patrick T. <pt...@ai...>]

Hi

bacula with postgres 3.0.2
Postgre 8.2.13
Director & Storage Daemon on OpenSuse 10.3
Exchange on SBS 2003 with bacula-win FD 3.0.2 & exchange plugin

I am successfully backing up using the plugin but I may have
misunderstood the backup methods and their actions on the transaction
logs. If I am using an incremental backup of the Exchange Mail Store, I
expected the transaction logs to be truncated from what I read of a
previous thread
http://www.mail-archive.com/bac...@li.../msg03029.html

However an incremental backup does not truncate the logs, according to
the job log.

19-Oct 21:05 tal.airspeed.ie-dir JobId 406: Start Backup JobId 406, 
Job=EinBackup.2009-10-19_21.05.00_15
19-Oct 21:05 tal.airspeed.ie-dir JobId 406: Using Device "FileStorage"
19-Oct 21:05 tal.airspeed.ie-sd JobId 406: Volume "Incr-0005"

19-Oct 21:22 ein.airspeed.ie-fd JobId 406: Did NOT truncate 
database logs for Storage Group First Storage Group

  JobId:                  406
  Job:                    EinBackup.2009-10-19_21.05.00_15
  Backup Level:           Incremental, since=2009-10-16 21:05:03



Perhaps this is not the final implemented behaviour of the plugin? I
guess it does truncate on a Full backup, but still waiting for the next
monthly to occur. Does the Differential instead truncate or is there an
explicit parameter that one can pass into the plugin directive to force
a truncate?

Many thanks

Patrick
