Bug Reporting
Before reporting a bug, please be sure it is a bug and not a request for support (see the Support tab to the left).
Bacula now has a bug reporting system implemented by Dan Langille and hosted on his computer. It is web based, easy to use, and we recommend you give it a try. You can submit a bug or review the list of open or closed bugs by visiting:
http://bugs.bacula.org.
Most Bacula problems are questions of support, so if you are not sure if a problem you are having is a bug, please send an email to bacula-users at lists.sourceforge.net. The previous address was modified to prevent easy use by spammers. To use it, you must replace the at with an @ symbol. You do not need to be subscribed to the list to post to it. If you do not get an answer, then try reporting a bug, but please do not enter support requests in the bug database.
Information Needed
For us to respond to a bug report, we normally need the following as the minimum information, which you can enter into the appropriate fields of the bug reporting system:If you are having tape problems, please include:
- Your operating system
- The version of Bacula you are using
- A clear and concise description of the problem
The first two of these items can be fulfilled by sending us a copy of your config.out file, which is in the main Bacula source directory after you have done your ./configure.
- The kind of tape drive you have
- Have you run the btape "test" command?
In addition, we will sometimes need a copy of your Bacula configuration files (especially bacula-dir.conf). If you think it is a configuration problem, please don't hesitate to send them if necessary.
