Post Cleaning up after system crash 
Bacula Version: 5.0.1
OS: Ubuntu 10.04 Server
Spooling is on
Backups to autochanger

Hi all,

Pardon me if this is a nabbish question. I have recently inherited a bacula configuration, and am trying to sort this out. I see that there are old spool files in the spool directory (from as far back as February.) We recently just had a hard crash of the bacula server, which left behind some more spool files that bacula seems intent on ignoring. In the meantime, things do seem to be running reasonably smoothly. Bacula is using the rest of the spool space, writing to tape, etc.

My question is this: is there any value in these old spool files? That is, can I somehow get bacula to write them to tape & include their contents in the catalog? Or are they simply filling most of my spool space to no good end, and I should just rm them?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Charles

Just delete the old spool files.
