Re: [Bacula-users] is 7.2 ready for prime time?
Innobackupex is excellent- we use it- but it's not as trivial as a tar copy of the mysql directory (shut the database down first). For example, you may end up using the database username/password on the command line in your scripts (which you should probably avoid). Also, according to the man page, "After creating a backup, the data is not ready to be restored." ...Ehm, in a word: YIKES! RTFM for sure! At least they tell you what you need to do, and it's not hard, but if you miss it... Anyway, here's a bash example of how we back up our production database. Details such as defining LOG_DIR and BACKUP_DIR left as an exercise for the reader: cleanup () { status=$? rm -f $TMPFILE exit $status } trap cleanup EXIT SIGQUIT SIGHUP SIGINT SIGTERM TMPFILE=$(mktemp /tmp/dbbkpX) suffix=$(date +%w) cp /etc/my.cnf $TMPFILE cat /var/lib/mysql/defaults.cnf >> $TMPFILE mkdir -p $LOG_DIR $BACKUP_DIR innobackupex --defaults-file $TMPFILE $FULL_BACKUP_DIR > $LOG_DIR/$suffix 2>&1 innobackupex --defaults-file $TMPFILE --apply-log $FULL_BACKUP_DIR >> $LOG_DIR/$suffix 2>&1 *- Mike Schwager* * Linux Network Engineer, Mocho Trading LLC* * 312-646-4783 Phone312-637-0011 Cell312-957-9804 Fax* On Mon, Sep 28, 2015 at 2:49 AM, Uwe Schuerkampwrote: > On Fri, Sep 25, 2015 at 09:01:29AM -0700, Stephen Thompson wrote: > > > > > > > > I run daily backups of my database and had finished my monthly full run > > for September, so I was technically covered.

[Bacula-users] Which JobID did my Verify verify?
Hi, I have a job that, once complete, involves removing a number of backed up files. How do I make sure the files are complete and on tape? ...With a Verify job, of course. Ok, so let's say my job name is "Log" and my verify job is "VerifyLog", with a Job entry in the bacula-dir file of: VerifyJob = "Log". Furthermore, my backup job's schedule is "SaturdayEvening" and its priority is "40". The Verify job shares the same schedule but its priority is 41. So it should verify the very last Log job, and I should be happy. What I want, though, is to *guarantee* to my manager that I verified the job that I expected to verify. I notice that I can do an "llist jobid=" on a backup job and get some nice details, but this function will not tell me about Verify jobs. I also notice that the log file tells me that the Verify job knows which job it's verifying against, eg: 27-Sep 04:34 bacula-dir JobId 1521: Verifying against JobId=1520 Job=Captures.2015-09-27_04.00.00_42 I could grep the logs, but is there a bconsole function that I have yet to find?

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula daemon message- where did it come from?
My mailbox is in CDT (5 hours behind UTC). The backup host is in UTC, hence the log entries (and mail headers, too, btw) show times in UTC. This is why I created the logging frontend script: in order to debug Becula's mail messaging, I want to see what *Bacula* is trying to do; I don't want to get confused by mail system problems. So: Clearly, Bacula had sent one and only one daemon message from our mail server at 11:00 UTC on that day. In that mail message were daemon messages that were a little over a week old. In any event, Kern updated the Bacula code to hopefully solve this problem. *- Mike Schwager* * Linux Network Engineer, Mocho Trading LLC* * 312-646-4783 Phone312-637-0011 Cell312-957-9804 Fax* On Tue, Aug 11, 2015 at 9:06 PM, Ana Emília M.

On Wed, Aug 12, 2015 at 8:15 AM, Heitor Faria hei...@bacula.com.br wrote: I agree with Ana with the fact it is probably not a bug. Even in the hypothesis Bacula is sending delayed messages this is the reason there is a time stamp on each log message. Yes: the connection error happened. Yes: daemon messages can be annoying and sometime lead incautious users to confusion if they only receive the message after the error is solved. But you can always opt out this messages or don't send them to the boss. =) For the record and benefit of any future Google searches (and I believe this problem is solved in any case), it may be instructive for the user to have Bacula call a script (as I have done) rather than bsmtp directly. Over the course of my Bacula installation I needed to verify the correct operation of all the component pieces of messaging delivery so I created a frontend to bsmtp. Bacula calls that, rather than bsmtp itself, so I can see what it is trying to do *before it even gets to the mail system*. What I know is this: 1. Bacula sent a message at 11:00 UTC. This is not a hypothesis, it's a fact; in fact, this line in the script: echo ARGUMENTS: 1:'$1' 2:'$2' 3:'$3' 4:'$4' 5:'$5' 6:'$6' 7:'$7' 8: '$8' | logger -p mail.info http://mail.info produced this line in the mail.log: Aug 9 11:00:01 ch0-backup-01 logger: ARGUMENTS: 1:'-h' 2:'mailhub' 3:'-f' 4:'(Bacula) bac...@example.com' 5:'-s' 6:'Bacula daemon message' 7:'i...@example.com' 8: '' 2. Its subject line as you can see was Bacula daemon message which matches the following entry in my bacula-dir.conf: Messages { Name = Daemon mailcommand = /usr/local/bin/my_smtp -h mailhub -f \\(Bacula\) \ bac...@example.com\\ -s \Bacula daemon message\ %r mail = i...@mochotrading.com = all, !skipped append = /var/log/bacula/daemon.log = all, !skipped } 3. It contained information that was over a week old. 4. I didn't know why. 5. Curiously, precisely the same time (at 11:00 UTC) I stop the Bacula daemons. Some time later I restart them. 6. I don't want it to happen again. Opting out of alerts is very dangerous. They are always telling you something. They may be telling you that there is a problem in your system, or they may be a false alarm. Either way, they are telling you something should be fixed. Otherwise soon you are ignoring daemon messages as a nuisance and then you REALLY have some explaining to your boss when you miss the one that alerts you to a real problem! In this case, it looks like there was a problem in the Bacula system that Kern repaired. *- Mike Schwager* * Linux Network Engineer, Mocho Trading LLC* * 312-646-4783 Phone312-637-0011 Cell312-957-9804 Fax* -- This message is for the named person(s) use only.

[Bacula-users] Bacula daemon message- where did it come from?
Hello, Yesterday (Sunday) I received an email from bacula-dir but I don't know why. It contains old authentication error messages from a week ago (see below) that I'd rectified on the 03 August later in the day. I don't know why I received this message now, and I'd like to prevent it from recurring. ...It makes my boss anxious. :-) The mail was sent at 11:00 UTC. There is no other job scheduled in bacula-dir or in cron that would take place at the time this email was sent. My maillog is consistent with that. I have verified that the mail came from bacula-dir I wonder if a start of the bacula director would send an email, but I just tried it and it did not send the email again (see the cron operations that are performed, below). Does bacula-dir send error messages that are = 1 week old, upon startup? At 11:00 UTC my system performs the following from cron, in order to perform a binary backup: systemctl stop bacula-dir systemctl stop bacula-sd systemctl stop bacula-fd systemctl stop mysqld (copy database dir) systemctl start mysqld systemctl start bacula-fd systemctl stop bacula-sd systemctl stop bacula-dir Thanks for any help. *- Mike Schwager* * Linux Network Engineer, Mocho Trading LLC* * 312-646-4783 Phone312-637-0011 Cell312-957-9804 Fax* -- Forwarded message -- From: Bacula backup@ example .com Date: Sun, Aug 9, 2015 at 6:00 AM Subject: Bacula daemon message To: it@ example.com 02-Aug 22:24 bacula-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: authenticate.c:114 Director unable to authenticate with Storage daemon at -backup-01.example.com:9103 http://backup-01.example.com:9103.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula BLOCKED waiting for mount
Actually, the restore jobs were in the 900-range. 687 was indeed the backup job, as I can see that the numbers before and closely following it were all backup jobs in the same data range (I didn't do my restore until months later). It was that restore process that taught me how to manage my Bacula Directory so as to avoid bscan's in the future. But it's good to know that I can restore without restoring the info in the catalog. (also I learned that Backups are useless. It's the restore I care about http://highscalability.com/blog/2014/2/3/how-google-backs-up-the-internet-along-with-exabytes-of-othe.html. At work we no longer talk about our backup infrastructure, we talk about our restore infrastructure). *- Mike Schwager* * Linux Network Engineer, Mocho Trading LLC* * 312-646-4783 Phone312-637-0011 Cell312-957-9804 Fax* On Tue, Aug 4, 2015 at 7:30 AM, Ana Emília M.

This is why you have the JobId 687 and not the original one. This is the JobId that you will find in your Job table. And this is the jobId that Bacula will tie to your media in JobMedia table. If the bscan operation is usual for you, I would recommend you to have an Admin Job doing prune operations of your jobs scheduled in an adequate date/time for your environment. Also, I would remember you that you can use bls/bextrac/bscan to restore the directories/files without restoring the volume/job info into catalog.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula BLOCKED waiting for mount
Thanks. I will look at the max time settings. Regarding setting the enabled field, I think rather than that, I will use list nextvol, and make sure the changer is populated with the proper tape. This should keep Bacula satisfied. I can even query the database and look for some of the other tapes that should be coming available, if I find that Bacula will likely write to more than one volume. *- Mike Schwager* * Linux Network Engineer, Mocho Trading LLC* * 312-646-4783 Phone312-637-0011 Cell312-957-9804 Fax* On Mon, Aug 3, 2015 at 2:15 PM, Bill Arlofski waa-bac...@revpol.com wrote: On 08/03/2015 09:45 AM, Michael Schwager wrote: Kern, Thanks for the reply from The Man himself :-) .

Hi Michael, You might try setting the enabled field to '0' for all volumes which are - or should be - inaccessible (not in library), and therefore should not be considered by Bacula as viable. I had to implement this on my system a couple years back, and it has been working fine ever since: http://revpol.com/node/146 I wrote that script to work out this same problem I was having when vchanger drives were not in the drive caddy, and hence the file volumes on them were not available. You will surely have to adapt it, or probably just pick a few things from it for your specific system because it is highly vchanger v0.8.6 centric. :) Having said that, it is typically best to let Bacula manage what volumes it wants, when it wants them, but in my situation, each hard drive I use with vchanger has about 70 10GB volumes so I am not severely limiting Bacula, just guiding it a little and giving it a nudge. e.g.: I do not touch retention times, nor do I manually force purges etc. :) Also, regarding my other question: How do I make Bacula fail hard if it doesn't find the media it needs? I have used the various job max ... time settings for things like this in the past.

does not exist in the Job table.

Re: [Bacula-users] Loading file listings from old tapes
I have figured out at least part of my problem: a flawed understanding of what Bacula is doing. I *had* thought, that if I did a bscan, Bacula would find a dump of the database and restore the database records for the time period of the backup. But it does not; it only restores records for those jobs it finds on the tape. In order to restore other records I will need to bscan the appropriate media for the jobs that I'm missing. That's what I'm doing now. I've already scanned a tape and now I'm able to list files for the job in question.

[Bacula-users] Loading file listings from old tapes
Greetings Baculans, We are running Bacula on Centos 6.5, which means Bacula 5.0.0. Over the past 9 months I had been backing up files with File and Job Retention periods in the Client resource of bacula-dir.conf of 60 days. So our old file listings have been pruned, but I need them back. How do I do it? I have changed the retention periods to 12 months, and I have done some bscan's of some old tapes. I thought that would repopulate my database with the file names, but it has not. echo list jobs jobid=190 | bconsole returns No results to list. on a backup with 49,731 JobFiles. Any suggestions about how to perform this would be appreciated. Thanks. We are backing up a number of critical log files that are necessary to recover quickly, accurately, and easily. I was tasked with making restores so easy even a monkey can do it. So I'm trying to create a document for my coworkers: The Chimp's Guide to Restores. My thinking is to create a process so that a user could - Give a file's basename, or substring that is part of a pathname, or a regular expression that matches a file's pathname string. - Give a date range from within which we want to restore the file. - Give where to put the file. and then they would be presented with a tape to load for the restore, and- voila'! File restored. My idea is to save all job file listings into files by job id, then I can use UNIX tools to scour them as required. *- Mike Schwager* * Linux Network Engineer, Mocho Trading LLC* * 312-646-4783 Phone312-637-0011 Cell312-957-9804 Fax* -- This message is for the named person(s) use only.

Re: [Bacula-users] Volumes purged but not recycled

It seems that these volumes were created without this option configured in your pool. Every change you made in your pools configurations, they must be updated to the existing volumes in catalog: update - pool from resource. And to update all the existing volumes to the new configurations: update volume - all volumes from pool (you can use from all pools if you change more than one pool). Thanks, Ana. That would explain my one issue. I'm sure I did not have it configured in the pool. I have updated all the volumes. I thought Recycle was an indicator of state and not an indicator of capability. Now I understand. But I had marked the volume with MediaID 16 with Recycle=Yes, and then I marked it with Append. Then Bacula appended a few files to it, but it ran out of room almost immediately. I guess that makes sense. The question then is: How do I get a Purged, Recycle-able tape to get written to starting at the beginning?

[Bacula-users] How Bacula Chooses a tape in the pool to write to
