Size#

Checker name#

File size check

Description#

Checks the size of a restored file-system object. The current value is read from the restored path using the file-system size reported by PHP.

The checker can compare the restored size with a manually configured value or with the size stored in the Bacula Catalog.

Attribute#

Size

Selecting the Size attribute in Verification Rules causes Bacularis to execute the FileSizeCheck checker.

Supported operators#

  • < - less than

  • <= - less than or equal to

  • == - equal to

  • != - not equal to

  • > - greater than

  • >= - greater than or equal to

  • C== - equal to the value stored in the Bacula Catalog

C== is the user-facing Catalog comparison operator. Internally, the checker identifies this operation as Equal Catalog Value.

Expected value#

For the standard comparison operators, enter the expected size in bytes.

When C== is used, the expected value is taken automatically from the Bacula Catalog and does not need to be entered manually.

Capabilities#

This checker requires a Restore Destination with the File restore checks capability enabled.

Requirements#

No additional requirements.

Examples#

Verify that a restored file is not empty:

/opt/bacula/bin/bdirjson  Size  >  0

Verify that a file has exactly 1024 bytes:

/data/example.bin  Size  ==  1024

Compare the restored file size with the value stored in the Bacula Catalog:

/opt/bacula/bin/bdirjson  Size  C==  Catalog value

Notes and limitations#

If the selected path does not exist, the check fails.

Directory sizes are file-system dependent. For predictable results, this checker is primarily useful for regular files.
