[Bacula-users] Filesystem change prohibited
Is there any way to disable warning Filesystem change prohibited, that appears in 1.38.x while onefs=yes is in use? While this message can be very informational during debugging, I would prefer this kind of warnings not to appear in regular production run -now it may be more tough to notice real warnings that might appear some day.

Mario I am wondering what bacula does when it has multiple BackupVolume files Mario and why/where it tries to run TestVolume00XY. Mario I hope i explained it well. If not then let me know! I think it separates them with a '|' character, so the problem is that you don't have quotes around %v and the shell runs the volume name as a pipe :-) Something like RunAfterJob = /bin/sh -c 'echo \%v\ /tmp/vout' might work. __Martin --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Bacula-users] Windows FD fails to send data to SD
Hi, yes... even telnet works. After downgrading the Windows machine to 1.36.3 I get new error messages. The first time I run the job: 386 Network send error to SD. ERR=The operation completed successfully. (I like this one *gg*) any following job: 503 Network send error to SD. ERR=An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. I found no way to get rid of this message. Even restarting all daemons doesn't help. any hint's what's the cause for this messages? As always I get the TCP DUP... and TCP previous segment lost error messages when I capture the traffic with ethereal.

Jochen Schaeuble [EMAIL PROTECTED] 17/12/2005 00:30 Hi, I'm using bacula on my Linux machines for quite some time now and it works perfect. Now I tried to add a windows-machine but the backup always fails with the following error message: 2005-12-16_18.22.05 Fatal error: c:\cygwin\home\kern\bacula\k\src\win32\filed\../../filed/backup.c524 Network send error to SD. ERR=Input/output error There's no problem with a firewall since on the internal net there's no firewall running. Besides that a telnet connect to port 9103 from the windows machine works perfect. An ethereal network capture shows that the link negotiation works (SYN, ACK). But after that ethereal reports TCP Dup ACK or TCP Previous segment lost. The connection between those to PC's work great using Samba as server running on the Linux machine. Any hints what I'm doing wrong? I have no further idea where to look. I use bacula 1.36.3 on Debian woody (director, SD) and bacula 1.38.2 on Windows XP. Thanks in advance, Jochen Schaeuble --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Are you using a debian linux system? I think I remember something... yes, debian stable but bacula from sources. The problem is (well, for me in this case) that the jobs run as user bacula (this is good, do not get me wrong). The user bacula in debian systems (I used first the *.debs but then compiled) get a /bin/false shell. I changed that to /bin/bash. Then I edited the sudoers file and granted bacula access to /bin/mt as root without password. That did it. It is not beautiful but it works, and this machine is not a safety problem anyway. On my Debian Sarge system the tape device nodes are owned by 'root' with group 'tape'. Adding user 'bacula' to the 'tape' group in /etc/group solved the permissions problem. Of course, your changing /bin/false to /bin/bash is necessary, also! ;-) Cheers! cmr -- Debian 'Sarge': Registered Linux User #241964 More laws, less justice. -- Marcus Tullius Ciceroca, 42 BC --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

The _tapes_ however are supremely reliable. All I can suggest is that you buy 'em with maintenance contracts - that way when they die it's a changeout job. The LTO drives we have (HP Ultrium) have never failed in more than 2 years(*) and have only required cleaning twice - once was when the room they were in had the floor taken up for reinforcing work, which raised a _lot_ of dust, despite the rack being plastic wrapped for the duration. (*) Both LTO units were faulty when installed due to very rough handling in transit - never buy HP's pre-assembled rack solutions as they insist on stuffing disk and tape drives into the assembly before loading onto the delivery vehicle.

One problem with making things like this configurable is that it adds to the already substantial complexity of the configuration files. Another approach to solving this problem would be to add an email filtering script that reduces bacula messages to a summary of the job.

[Bacula-users] Bacula-web: a status request

The test page displays correctly and shows that I have all the prerequisites installed, but all I can get from the main bacula-web page is an error saying that a database error has occurred.

Can you give me an example of what information you found, and are you talking about the apache (httpd) server log files? - The bacula-web interface requires a TCP/IP interface to Postgres, even though Bacula itself does not. In at least some distributions, this has to be enabled by adding tcpip_socket = true to the /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf file, and restarting Postgres. TCP/IP access must also be allowed by the pg_hba.conf file. I'll add a note to this in the manual. My current stumbling block is this error: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method DB_Error::numRows() in /home/kodis/public_html/classes.inc on line 158 I do seem to have the dbsize Postgres extension module installed, so I don't think that that's the problem.

Re: [Bacula-users] suggestions for backup hardware
Well - I'm going to disks now. I think.. Disks are fast Data on disks don't deteriorate like tape Disks are reusable 1000 times - tapes 20 to 40 Disks are easier to copy from Disks are cheaper than tapes now It is easy to have a few external disks to carry away for off-site storage It is easier to make automatic off-site 'over-the-LAN/WAN' replikation with diskbased backup It runs for months without care - fire your operator and go fishing;-) Kern actually gives the whole setup in the manual So why not? If you buy mobo with 2 S-ATA + 1 IDE controller, you can have up to ten cheap harddisks each 250 - 400 GB in raid I have also some data that changes a lot - I make differential backup every day, but recycles after a week, and then full every month, and recycles them after 6 months Then you can have two external harddisks to bring one home or off-site every other day cheers Steen Florian Schnabel [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent by: cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] suggestions for backup hardware ceforge.net E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ceforge.net 19/12/2005 15:46 Florian Schnabel wrote: since out Tandberg DLT VS 80 just died over the weekend and this is 3rd tape DRIVE that failed in my company in 5 years ... i could use suggestions for hardware to use ... preferably no more tapes ^^ i need to be able to take one backup each week offsite .. so it should be at least a combination including something i can take with me :-) my thoughts tend to multiple file storages combined with a USB-HD for offsite storage, but i'd prefer some more professional version Florian oh .. i forgot ... full backup is currently 25 GB, media should support at least 40 GB of uncompressed data, options for incremental backups are limited since the data change is pretty high ...

You can do that, but if you are using the very latest code, it is not necessary. Bacula now knows how to spread jobs to separate drives. However, if you want all jobs of name X to go to a particular Volume, and jobs of name Y to go to a different Volume (and always the same one until it is full) then having separate pools will permit you to do that. -- Best regards, Kern ( /\ V_V --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Yes, it is easy. However, 1.38.0 won't work. You will need the beta version 1.38.3, and preferably the one that I will release tomorrow morning -- 1.38.3 (19 December 2005). It also has load balancing -- thanks to David Boyes, who made me think about it a bit :-) Since it is late and my cats are demanding their midnight milk, I'll answer your question tomorrow when I update the manual on precisely this subject ... thanks, -Ben On Dec 19, 2005, at 3:33 PM, Kern Sibbald wrote: On Monday 19 December 2005 23:21, Ben McClelland wrote: If I have an autochanger with 4 separate drives and 4 jobs (one for each of the drives) listed, do I have to have 4 separate pools for the media so the drive have their own pool?

[Bacula-users] Messages resource and syslog
Before I assume no replies so far means that syslog support is broken or just plain not usable, please allow me to post my query a second time in hopes that a new set of eyes, with experience with Bacula and syslog, will see it... Can anyone provide a sample of a messages resource destination specification using syslog that they know works? According to the Bacula doc, the syntax is supposed to be destination = address = message-type1, message-type2, ... where I can set destination to syslog. The doc goes on to say the value of address will be ignored. The director's parser complains about an unknown message type if I follow this syntax, seemingly no matter what I put in for address. What I can get the parser to accept is: syslog = message-type1, message-type2, ... But then I can't find anything in any of my Linux logs. The Bacula doc says its messages will be logged to the LOG_ERR facility. LOG_ERR is not a facility, it's a priority, AFAIK. LOG_ERR isn't actually a Linux syslog term, it's, I believe, a literal used in some logging support programming packages. So, I really have three questions: 1) Does the syslog destination really work for Bacula messages? 2) What facility and priority are actually being used for the syslog messages that are generated? 3) What is the correct syntax for a syslog destination in the messages resource? BTW, I'm running Bacula 1.38.2 on RHEL4 update 2. In advance, thanks! --Gary --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!

[Bacula-users] restore files with no directory path at a location
Is a possible to restore files with no directory path information? If so how? i.e. original file location server1:/dirroot/dir1/dir2/filename1 I just want to restore filename1 to server2:/dirroot (or other directory). -- Ted Serreyn Phone:262-432-0260 Fax:262-432-0232 Serreyn Network Services, LLChttp://www.serreyn.com/ --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
