Hi Ana
Its a possibility although the estimate doesn't seem to factor in compression
(not an issue for me) or the volume overhead.
I guess we could always allocate one extra volume to cover this and then at the
end remove any unused volumes.
I tried post processing (renaming the file and catalog entry) but the volume
name is also held internally in the volume headers and checked during restore -
changing this value messes up the checksums which are also checked. I've
currently gone for using extended attributes to provide additional volume
metadata.
Regards
Steve

Subject: Re: [Bacula-devel] [Bacula-users] Python in bacula 7 - dynamically
assign volume names
Hi Steve,
Would you like to try a shell script in a RunBeforeJob directive? Maybe this
should work:
#!/bin/bash
#
# Usage: myscript.sh "MyBackupJob"
JOB=$1
BCONSOLE="/pathtoyourbconsole/bconsole"
MYSTORAGE="myStorage"
MYPOOL="myPool"
BYTES=$(echo estimate job=$JOB | $BCONSOLE)
GBYTES=$(echo ${BYTES#*bytes=} | sed 's/,//g')
VOLS=$((GBYTES/(1024*1024*1024)))
for ((i=0;i<=VOLS;i++) do
echo label storage=$MYSTORAGE volume=$LABEL$i pool=$MYPOOL | $BCONSOLE | grep
"already exists" > /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
printf "Volume %s already exists.\n" $LABEL$i
exit 1
fi
done
exit $?
This should be enhanced. And it will be necessary to make sure labels are
unique for the script (maybe using PoolID+MeidaId).
Best regards,
Ana

Thanks for your reply Ana
I guess that could work if I required a single Volume but I limit my volume
sizes to 1GB (files) for operational reasons and typically require multiple
volumes but I don't know in advance how many. I suppose I could create multiple
volumes in advance and after delete any unused.
I always ensure that there volumes are automatically allocated as required and
are never reused between jobs. Thee first one is allocated when the job starts
and others as each becomes full. The content of the backup can vary according
to some run before scripts and I would like the volume names to reflect that.
It was easy to do this with python scripting but we are in the process of
upgrading to bacula 7 where that isn't supported.
Regards
Steve

Hi Steve,
Maybe a shell script in a RunBeforeJob directive? You can test with "list
nextvol" if there is an available volume and if not instruct Bacula to label
one (and the label you can create it for your own in your shell script).
Could you be more specific about "allocate volume names at run time"? Should
they be allocated before the job starts running or during a the job runs in the
case it needs a volume and cannot find any available?
Best regards,
Ana

OK - I found in the release notes for 7.0.0
The following features or directives have been removed:
- Win32
- tray-monitor
- wx_console
- Removed cats DBI driver
- Python
So I assume this means python scripting is no longer supported.
If this is the case is there an alternative mechanism for dynamically set
volume names?
Label Format doesn't quite do it because it is limited to specific bacula
variables or environment variables set during director startup and I need to
allocate volume names at run time.
Thanks
Steve

HI
Does anyone know whether python scripting is supported in 7.0.5?
I could see that --with-python is no longer a valid configuration option.

Hello,
This is just a reminder concerning the Bacula conference on September
21th 2011.
Registrations coming in every day, but there is a limit of 60 seats.
So, if you are interested in attending, please hurry to sign up at
following the link:

This is an excellent opportunity to meet and discuss with other Bacula users
as well as to learn what the Bacula Roadmap is.
Also, if you would like to submit a paper, there is still one slot free.
I am looking forward to being there and to meeting you there too.
Best regards,
