Thats definetly something i didn't know about!

I'm glad i now have two ways of dealing with my problem, either getting a list

[Bacula-users] Encryption: no

2007-12-12 Thread Dimitrios
When a job ends, it sends me a report via email and in that report it contains:
Encryption: no

I'm using TLS encryption in all places (DIR, FD, SD, etc), but the above 
suggests that nothing is encrypted.

Or am i wrong, and my transportation/communication is indeed encrypted, but not 
the actual storage?

that worked perfectly, i changed it a bit to be more printable friendly:

select jobid AS ID, convert(job,char) AS Name, convert(name,char) AS Job, 
jobfiles AS Files, jobbytes AS Bytes, convert(jobstatuslong,char) AS Status 
from Job j, Status s where j.jobstatus = s.jobstatus AND j.JobID=30;

You can remove or change the last "j.JobID=" based on your needs.

thanks for the help!

Is there such a web interface?

Thank you very much, i really appreciate your help and the effort to furthur

along with the best manual we've seen on an open source project, there are 
superb people behind the project!

i'm sorry, i may not have explained it correctly.

1) install bacula-fd on win2003 server, installation completes and the cassette 
icon appears on the system tray.

2) system is kept running while the people work on the printing press (backup 
starts and the green lights turn on and off once backup is complete).

3) at the end of the shift, all systems are shutdown and power is cut from the 
whole floor.

4) next day in the morning, all systems are powered and the shift starts work 
on the printing press, at which point we realise that the cassette icon is not 
in the system tray, although the bacula-fd is running in the background (as 
Services reports).

5) we manually stop and restart the service and the cassette icon now appears 
on the system tray.


i believe the tray icon appears when we are logged in on the system and manualy 
start the service, but it doesn't appear when the machine has booted and 
started the bacula-fd on its own.

The machine runs a special type of control software that manages a printing 
press. In that same machine we store special files which deal with the 
configuration of the press machine, along with whatever is there to be printed.

Thus the computer requires several people to be working on it, while i'm trying 
to do backups (none of the systems are allowed to be on power after the press 
is shut down, the electricity of the whole floor is shut down, thus backups are 
done while we work).

As a result, its important for the people working on the system to look at the 
cassette icon because some printing "jobs" may require the server to run at 
full utilization and thus the backup shouldn't be running. So they just wait 
for a few minutes before running any such job for the backup process to 
complete (doesn't take too long, just a few minutes, but its important not to 
run in parallel with any printing job).

If you need more details please let me know.

Well, we don't use the "log" that can be accessed via right-clicking on the 
icon, we only need to know when bacula-fd is running a backup or not (a time 
estimate for completition of the job would have been even better, but thats 
just cosmetic).

[Bacula-users] cassette icon disappears

2007-09-11 Thread Dimitrios
We've got a Windoze 2003 server and i'm using the bacula file daemon to backup 
files from it. Since the system is actively used by a person, we rely on the 
cassette icon in the system tray to check when the backup is running (so as the 
person on the system doesn't do anything stupid when the cassette is green).

Our problem is, that once the machine is rebooted, the cassette icon 
disappears, even though the daemon service is running in the background (as can 
be seen in the Services).

Interestingly, if we re-start the service, the cassette icon reappears, but 
only untill we reset the machine.

Does anyone know how to make the cassette icon to always appear in the system 
tray?

Thank you.

[Bacula-users] feature request: more compression methods

2007-08-03 Thread Dimitrios
It would be nice if there were more compression methods available. I understand 
that Bacula is mostly used with tape drivers which do hardware compression, but 
those of us using file/disk storage would get a real benefit out of it.

For example, RAR and BZIP2 can achieve an amazingly high compression ratio on 
very large files, 20% or more compared to (the very old) GZIP.

if you are talking about the MySQL auto increment, then this is how you re-set 
it:

ALTER TABLE my_table AUTO_INCREMENT = 1;

if you want, you may start from the middle, like:

ALTER TABLE my_table AUTO_INCREMENT = 41;

[Bacula-users] backup to a disk, limited space

2007-08-02 Thread Dimitrios
I'd like to backup my web server to my local system. So far everything seems to 
work fine, i've setup encryption via TLS (certificates, etc) and the services 
running under Fedora 7.

Unfortunately, there is one thing that i don't quite understand while reading 
the manual. I don't understand how to reserve 20 gigs of harddisk space for 
backups.

In other words, i'd like to force bacula to use /var/spool/bacula to store my 
backups and to make sure it uses maximum 20 gigs. Once those are filled, it 
should reuse them over and over again.

My pool looks like this, but i'm not sure if its doing what i described:

Pool {
  Name = Default
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
  Volume Retention = 365 days
  Maximum Volumes = 1
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 20g
}

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [Bacula-users] backing up MySQL databases

2007-08-01 Thread Dimitrios
Based on my research, i found out that backing up MySQL is quite un-efficient.

On a small database, you can just dump the contents of MySQL into a file and 
then backup that file.

On a large database (several Gigs) dumping to a file should be avoided, for 
example, on a hosting service the dump could fill your hosting space. In 
addition, its time consuming and allows for database "badness" where one table 
which is already backed up changes while the current one is still locked. This 
can be avoided if you dump the database with a system-wide lock but that means 
your web sites or application will be offline for the duration of the backup 
process (and since we are dumping whole gigs of data, it can be very time 
consuming).

Running a replicated database is not ideal for hosting servers, again that will 
double your hosting space and/or entire hosting service (colocation, etc).

Based on my research, it seems the 'best' solution for really big databases is 
to use the Binary Log (mysql 4.1.3 or newer) and do incremental backups of the 
database. Thus, you do a full backup at first and then you only backup the 
Binary Log based on date ranges or snapshop "points". Ofcourse this is process 
is badly documented and i couldn't find any scripts that can help me do this.

I'd appriciate your thoughts on this.

Thank you.

how Bacula can execute mysqldump during its backup process. I'll search the 
docs to see if there is support for such a thing.

[Bacula-users] backing up MySQL databases

2007-07-29 Thread Dimitrios
What is the best way to backup MySQL databases?

I've got a few web servers that i'd like to backup, which rely heavily on MySQL 
for offering dynamic content.

Should i just backup the "/var/lib/mysql/*" directly? Does that mean i have to 
shutdown the MySQL process during the backup? (which means the web server will 
be unable to offer content, web sites die)

Any help would be appreciated

Thats great news! i'll wait for their final release because i don't have any 
compilers installed on my systems so the SRPM is useless to me.

Are there any plans to create Fedora 7 rpms on one of the popular fedora 
repositories, like Freshrpms.net, Livna, fedora extras, etc?

[Bacula-users] emails generated by bacula (character set problems)

2007-07-15 Thread Dimitrios
I noticed that the emails generated by Bacula are not very friendly.

For example, there is no proper character set header and as a result, the email 
contains garbage when viewed in my email client.

Looking into this problem a bit further, i found out that Bacula takes the 
output of dates based on my system locale (el_GR.UTF-8) but sends the email 
without or default character set ISO-8859-1, and thats why the email looks 
garbage in my email client.

Is there a workaround for this issue?

Thank you.

[Bacula-users] too many files backed up

2007-05-05 Thread Dimitrios
Hello everyone,

this is my first post in the mailing list so i'll write a few things about me, 
i'm a sys admin and i'm currently managing several servers (colo, VPS, shared, 
etc). I've been looking for a backup system for some time now and Bacula seems 
perfect!

i'd also like to add that Bacula has the best and most complete documentation 
i've ever seen in an open source project, great work!

now, to my problem:

i've got two systems, one is the remote server (a VPS in this case) and the 
other is the backup server (this one is a colocated dedicated server). I've 
setup the bacula-fd on the remote server and i've setup bacula-dir and 
bacula-sd on the backup server. I've also setup the two monitors and full TLS 
encryption between them all (gnome-tray-monitor doesn't support TLS btw).

i've run several Full backups and they worked perfectly, the final compressed 
size of the full backup is 6GB.

but, when i run a Differential backup the next day, it backs up nearly 2GB of 
data!! (in 6,387 files), which seems rather strange because i'm sure that the 
server hasn't been used that much to warrant changes in 6,387 files or nearly 
2GB of data.

as a side note, i'd like to say that i'm using an extensive Exclude list that 
prevents backups for /tmp and similar directories which are used too frequently 
and are of no real importance to me.

Any help would be appriciated.

Thank you.
