This problem has been discussed a lot recently. The short answer is you can not use the label command with dvd media because it does not work.

Have you set up label format for the pool that you are using your dvd
disks with?
Here is what I have for my dvd pool:
Pool {
Name = DVD-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = no # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = no# Prune expired volumes
Accept Any Volume = yes # write on any volume in the pool
Label Format = "DVD-"
}

I think a simple mount (in your bacula console) will work but I am not sure.

Hello,
We have released the first beta 1.39 beta code to Source Forge as a tar.gz

I have attached two files bacula-1.39.18_beta20060804.ebuild which is
a bumped gentoo ebuild and
bacula-1.39.18_beta20060804-default-configs.patch is a patch file for
the ebuild. The ebuild successfully installed and built the beta on

Anyone who tries this ebuild you should backup your database and then
run /usr/libexec/bacula/update_bacula_tables possibly passing params

[Bacula-users] Fwd: can not write to DVD

Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] can not write to DVD
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
What does your Storage section in your bacula-dir.conf file look like?
Here is mine:
# Definiton of dvd storage device
Storage {
Name = JMD0-DVD
Address = jmd0# N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
Password = "DELETED#"
Device = "DVD-WRITER"
Media Type = DVD
}
Storage {
Name = JMD1-DVD
Address = jmd1# N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
Password = "DELETED"
Device = "JMD1-DVD-WRITER"
Media Type = DVD
}
And then my jobs use JMD1-DVD to write to the dvd writer on jmd1 or
JMD0-DVD to write to the dvd on jmd0.

Niether mount or label work in the release version.

LTO1 drives are really a 100GB drive that with compression sometimes fits 200GB on a tape. For me I rarely get 2:1 as I have uncompressible data on my disks (image files that are already compressed).

Yes, these need to be unix paths. Here is my config:
#
# List Directors who are permitted to contact this File daemon
#
Director {
Name = fileserver-dir
Password = "===REMOVED==="
}
#
# "Global" File daemon configuration specifications
#
FileDaemon { # this is me
Name = dev2-fd
FDport = 9102 # where we listen for the director
WorkingDirectory = c:/pf/bacula/working
Pid Directory = c:/pf/bacula/working
}
# Send all messages except skipped files back to Director
Messages {
Name = Standard
director = fileserver-dir = all, !skipped
}

Thus far I have used bconsole and the WXwidgets console, but hewould prefer a gui.When I installed Bacula, I did so enabling the gnome console. It runs, but there is a problem. When I select the Run item from the menu bar, aninteractive window pops up offering me Job, Client, Fileset, Level, etc.Each of these lines is blank, of course, and there is a drop-down button to the right of each one. Pressing this button reveals a blank list,however, and the line accepts no input from the keyboard. I know it isconnecting to the director, though, because the Command: line works just like bconsole.At least for me the run command in gnome console was blank until I upgraded to 1.38.X. Since then it works well and I use it all the time on the linux side and I use wxWidgets on the windows side. John - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Also, 'dd | od' or whatever flavour of that command you prefer can tell you if thetape holds a Bacula label. Then, finally, do you have system logmessages regarding your tape drive?Thanks for the info. Initially I used label barcodes command to label all 23 tapes in the autochanger a few weeks back and I have not written to this tape since. I had already soved this problem by using the delete volume command then unmount. Then the mtx command to physically mount the media in the first drive and finally a mount and bacula labeled the tape. I guess I should have waited at least few minutes before implementing workarounds as I would have probably been able to figure out the cause of the problem. Thanks,John -- John M.

And we are not communication limited in this case. BUT we are not CPU-limited either (one CPU 100% idle duringbackup, the other mostly >90% in IO-wait). We should *only* be discIO-limited, and even the fastest case, local tar, is very slow. At only 1162 kbyte/s (bacula-fd without SW-compression), theSW-compression should not slow down the backup more than a fewpercent. As a comparison, 'gzip -6' (as should be used according tothe manual) on this machine sustain ~18 Mbyte/s. Also, why is bacula-fd without SW-compression much slower than tar?But, as you suggested, I should try the bacula-user mailinglist as this probably isn't debian-specific./ Anders - End forwarded message ---

I had a similar problem with my Exabyte magnum 224 yesterday. The drive would not unload the tape in drive 0. Peeking through the air holes in the front I saw that the tape was indeed in the drive but the robot was not attempting to unload it at all.

Re: [Bacula-users] Fwd: ERR=Cannot allocate memory when mounting a tape from an autochanger.
I believe I found the source for this problem. At one point during testing (trying to get as much performance as I could) I had the Maximum Block Size and Minimum Block Size set to 256K. And now this setting has been removed. Now because bacula uses a variable blocks instead of fixed blocks every tape that was labeled with this setting must be deleted and relabeled otherwise I get the same error.

Re: [Bacula-users] Way to label a range of tapes with barcodes
I know this is not what you asked for but I have found it best to create a Scratch pool and use label barcodes to put all tapes in the Scratch pool and then when needed bacula will grab the next tape from this pool and move them to the pool that needs a new volume. This way I do not have to worry at all about labeling tapes for each pool.

Re: [Bacula-users] [Storage-Space usage] Prevent duplicate file-backups?
I have seen this discussed in this list before and I believe there are several problems on top of the small chance that a file will have the same size and same md5sum but different contents. One is do we only search (for dups) in the current backup job or volume or do we include other backups and other volumes. If we inclulde other backups how do we handle the case where a file from job X is on a volume from job Y because of a duplicate and now some user has purged that volume that contains job Y.

On top of this there are many factors that make archiving this rate very difficult. It is very difficult for a gigabit network to sustain 60 to 80MB/s unless you are using jumbo frames or 2 computers directly connected to each other by a single cable. Then there is the filesystem performance. The problem here is that it is very difficult to archive sustained transfers in this range even with raid because of fragmentation of the data. Even single drives do have STR rates in this range (60 to 80MB/s) but this is only if the operation is sequential and once the drive has to seek performance drops considerably. Then there is the performance of the database. John -- John M. Drescher - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

The tape does not get rewound after the operation unless you have bacula ofline it or you are wrongly using the rewinding device /dev/st0 instead of /dev/nst0. I would expect bacula to do the first one always since that may be needed for double reel tapes. For single reel tapes (DLT, LTO) the tape is always at the beginning when you insert however no harm will be done to rewind then.

Since I use concurrency I use a 5 or 10GB spool file like I have been doing for over 5 years out of the 8+ years I have used bacula. On my LTO2 archive I regularly see despool rates of 20 to 60 MB/s to a single LTO2 tape drive all the time however backup rates are highly dependent of what type of backup and the percentage of small files. Incrementals will show low rates because a large percentage of the time of the backup is spent searching for the few files to backup instead of actually doing the backup. A full will generally have a way higher backup rate because all files are selected instead of spending time searching. However with this said Incrementals are generally much faster than fulls even though they show a much lower rate. On top of this source filesystem performance and database performance are very important. Also make sure you are not using software compression if you have a tape drive. Software compression even on the fastest i7 with an SSD will most likely be less than 10MB/s while tape drive HW compression can easily achieve 10 times that rate.

I am not sure why you had these ridiculous file and job retentions however
neither of them will stop a volume from being recycled. These two are more
about how long to keep the records in the database.

Get rid of the Maximum Volume Bytes. 800 GB is not the limit for LTO3.
Remember 800GB is just the inflated manufacturer expected capacity
when in reality you may fit 400GB on a single tape or 3TB depending on
how compressible your data set is.

First of all bacula does not understand or care about how much data a
tape technology is supposed to hold. It makes no difference to bacula
if you are using DLT, DDS, LTO ... they are all handled the same. If
you do not impose a limit on how many bytes that bacula can write to a
tape bacula will write as many bytes as it can up until it hits the
first tape write error. At this point bacula assumes the tape is full.
Check your dmesg to see if there are any problems. Also try a brand
new LTO3 tape.

I have way more than 20 clients but I instead use a 10GB spool file and allow 5+ clients to backup at the same time. Individual rates are not great but with spooling the tape drives are usually busy.

Only 1 volume and thus pool can be loaded in a storage device at a
time so if you have several pools that you want to run backups on you
need more than 1 storage device. For disk based backups, I highly
recommend using the bacula virtual autochanger.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vchanger/
This will greatly simplify the setup of multiple pools, devices and
concurrency. Just send all jobs to the virtual autochanger resource
and let bacula handle the devices.

Software compression is a very heavy CPU usage process on the FD and
will certainly slow down your backups.

It can also be the database or a number of other reasons. Also are you talking about Full backups? I ask that because usually Incrementals and Differentials spend more time looking for files then actually backing up data so these tend to have low rates however since they only backup a fraction of the Full backup they still finish much faster.

If you know you have backups of your /etc/bacula folder you should be able to use the bls and bextract programs to get your files back. http://www.bacula.org/5.1.x-manuals/en/utility/utility/index.html John -- All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
