Swift Object Plugin: Limitations

• Objects stored as SLO objects on the Swift System will be restored as DLO objects.

• The modification time of an object cannot be restored. This is a Swift limitation.

• The creation time of an object is always equal to the modification time. This is a Swift limitation.

• Bacula’s Accurate backup mode is not supported. You will receive a warning message in this case.

• The regexwhere feature is not supported

• It is recommended to not set a high value for the Plugin Restore Parameter be_object_segment_size to limit the memory consumption.

• The restart command has limitations with plugins, as it initiates the Job from scratch rather than continuing it. Bacula determines whether a Job is restarted or continued, but using the restart command will result in a new Job.
