Since I've introduced FreeBSD snapshots into my Bacula plan, I've started getting random backup failures. A server will fail one day, and back up just fine the next. A server will back up fine one day and fail the next. ...all with no changes to the Bacula configuration.
Below, I've posted pertinent portions of configuration files and message logs. Please let me know if I need to supply any further information to help troubleshoot this down. bacula-dir.conf pertinent portions only...sensitive information removed with: <*REMOVED*> JobDefs { Name = "BSD" Type = Backup FileSet = "defaultBSD" Storage = storage01 Messages = Standard Pool = Default ClientRunBeforeJob = "/usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/local/sbin/snapshot make -g1 /var:autogen_bkup" ClientRunBeforeJob = "/usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/local/sbin/snapshot make -g1 /usr:autogen_bkup" ClientRunBeforeJob = "/usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/local/sbin/snapshot mount /var:autogen_bkup /mnt/var" ClientRunBeforeJob = "/usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/local/sbin/snapshot mount /usr:autogen_bkup /mnt/usr" ClientRunAfterJob = "/usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/local/sbin/snapshot umount /mnt/var" ClientRunAfterJob = "/usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/local/sbin/snapshot umount /mnt/usr" Priority = 10 } Typical job, as they are all nearly identical: Job { Name = "app06_BSD" Client = "app06-fd" Schedule = "MonCycle" JobDefs = "BSD" Write Bootstrap = "/var/db/bacula/app06.bsr" } Typical client, as they are all nearly identical: Client { Name = app06-fd Address = app06 FDPort = 9102 Catalog = MyCatalog Password = "<*REMOVED*>" # password for FileDaemon File Retention = 30 days # 30 days Job Retention = 6 months # six months AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files } My primary FileSet resource: FileSet { Name = "defaultBSD" Include { Options { signature = MD5 compression = GZIP } File = / File = /mnt/usr File = /mnt/var } Exclude { File = /proc File = /tmp File = /.journal File = /.fsck } } Finally, I get the same message from my /var/log/messages file at every failure. The lines before and after this have nothing to do with the backup.
