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.

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).

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.

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 ---

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.

Please read the manual. All of this is in there including examples. http://bacula.org/en/?page=documentation For you to backup more than the director machine you need to use an external ip address instead of localhost or 127.0.0.1 for the SD resource.

So I assume that the spool > file system is too small - is this assumption right? > Remember that a job will not despool when it spools so that this will not be as efficient as possible unless you run more than 1 job at a time or have a spool size larger than your largest job. 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.

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. > But no matter which tape we use, after 240 - 250 GB of data Bacula want's us > to change the tape, because it is reported as full. > > How can we find out whether Bacula or the Tapeloader uses the wrong size for > the tapes? > 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. John -- Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE!

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.

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.

Reinstalling will put back the base configuration files which may be a start but you would still have to reconstruct your settings yourself. 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.
