[Bacula-users] Cacheing and consistent security copies
We are currently implementing Bacula to secure a network of 5/6 Linux and Windows hosts. If we run our backups while there are other jobs running on the client machine, can we be sure we will get a consistent data backup? It might well be my lack of understanding of the cacheing process, but as several applications use Delayed writes and the operating systems themselves use cacheing, we are having difficulty seeing how consistency can be guaranteed if there are any files on the system opened for writing. As far as we can see, for 100% certainty of data consistency, nothing else should be running on the client - is this the case? Would be very grateful for comments Thanks in advance David

It depends your software on your clients. Bacula will backup everything in the file sets. If your software on the clients have things in their memory that they haven't written to disk Bacula will not be able to store that data. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by Microsoft Mobile & Embedded DevCon 2005 Attend MEDC 2005 May 9-12 in Vegas.

Moin.
Add a new "Message" block to the director config and use that in the job.
Messages {
name = new_message_to_diff_user
[...]
}
Job {
[...]
Messages = new_message_to_diff_user
}
Greetings,
Michael

My guess would be that Bacula uses the OS's read functions, so its up to the OS to return the data, even the part that is still in the write cache. Alternatively, the OS could flush the cache before reading the data. As far as we can see, for 100% certainty of data consistency, nothing else should be running on the client - is this the case? That is definitely true. You can never guarantee consistency on a moving target. There are ways to reduce chances of backing up an inconsistent state (for Windows there's St Bernards Open File Manager with its caching/snapshotting algorythms, for Linux you can try to snapshot stuff while your app is up, hoping that there were no changes at the moment you took the snapshot) but if you really need to be 100% sure, my advice would be to shut down the applications whose data you're backing up. To reduce downtime on Linux systems, you can shut down the applications, snapshot the volume with LVM (provided you use LVM volumes of course), start up your apps again and run the backup on the LVM snapshot in the background. Also note, that the Bacula-FD cannot back up open files on Windows (it will simply skip them). You will need St Bernards Open File Manager for that. Hope that helps.

Have I become the "boss" :-) Oh well, but I really prefer to be the arbitrator of last resort. I can see how a web-based forum could be very useful -- perhaps blog.gmane already responds to that request at least in part. However, my personal preference is email, and it is all I can handle at the current time. Email is a bit of a problem when I go on vacation, but I am working on that. Like you (Michael), I really couldn't affort to "monitor" a forum, and for me that would be a real pity. I am responding to fewer and fewer emails because there are now very capable people who can respond, and if I try to just give a quick answer I often another question to my response (groan). However, I do read all the emails and often cull out problems and suggestions and add them to the todo list even if I do not respond to a particular item. Also, more frequently than I would like, someone emails a simple question, and I realize that there is a bug lurking behind it. With a forum, I would miss all these things. -- Best regards, Kern --- This SF.net email is sponsored by Microsoft Mobile & Embedded DevCon 2005 Attend MEDC 2005 May 9-12 in Vegas.

[Bacula-users] bacula
I got bacula up and running and performed a good backup and restore of a mac server. Thanks for all the help and such an excellent product. Of course I have another question.

[Bacula-users] Suggestions for solution with backup to disk and cloning to tape?
Hi, At the place where I work we are planning to change parts of the backup solution we use today because we have grown out of it... We are planning to use Bacula to backup about 20 Windows servers to a large disk storage and then use Legato Networker in a different installation to clone the disk backups to tape once a month. We have done a few successful tests with Bacula backing up files to disk. Everything have worked just fine but we have one question... Are there any built in capabilities that allows us to backup everything to disk and then after a month after the files are moved to tape automatically delete the disk backups? If anyone have done something similar with Bacula or have any valuable suggestions to share regarding how to best setup and configure Bacula for this task it would be very nice to hear from you.

Sorry, but I can't follow you here... I just don't understand your problem.
The example you give above doesn't sound like anything from a bacula
configuration file.
I'd expect something like
Job {
Name="G5-A"
Client="G5-A-fd"
FileSet="OSX-standard"
}
FileSet {
Name="OSX-standard"
Include {
File = /
File = /Volumes/Data2

Re: [Bacula-users] HP Ultrium 460 1/8 Autochanger
I don't know if this answers your question (or if you even have the question still, your post is quite old), but here it goes. Make sure you have the sg3-utils package. run sginfo -l this will list your SCSI devices I get something like this on my Bacula server: infra2:~# sginfo -l /dev/sda /dev/sg0 [=/dev/sda scsi0 ch=0 id=0 lun=0] /dev/sg1 [scsi0 ch=0 id=8 lun=0] /dev/sg2 [scsi1 ch=0 id=0 lun=0] /dev/sg3 [scsi1 ch=0 id=5 lun=0] Then you can run sginfo for each device that is obviously not an HD. In my case, sginfo /dev/sg2 gives me this (HP Ultrium): infra2:~# sginfo /dev/sg2 INQUIRY reponse (cmd: 0x12) --- Device Type 8 Vendor: HP Product: ThinStor AutoLdr Revision level: H43r Now that I know that this is my autoloader (not the drive, the actual robot. The tape drive is /dev/nst0 in my case), make sure you (bacula-sd) have access to the robot. # chmod 660 /dev/sg2 (give rw permissions to the group) # chgrp tape /dev/sg2 (Debian's bacula user is part of the tape group, by default, the sg[x] devices are owned by root.root) Lastly, make sure you also have the mtx package to handle your autoloader. There is a lot of info on their (mtx) website. as long as the mtx tools are able to drive the robot, bacula should not have a problem with it. Hope it helps, Erik.

[Bacula-users] Build from source errors
Hi all, I'm attempting to build 1.36.2 on RH9 from source. Very green at this so bear with me.

[Bacula-users] bacula-1.36.2-1.src.rpm & RHEL4
I'm trying to compile bacula binary RPMS for RedHat Enterprise Linux 4,
which looks a lot like Fedora Core 3, so I'm using that platform as my
target.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] rhel-as-x86-4]# rpmbuild --target i686 \
--define 'build_fc3 1' \
--define 'build_mysql 1' \
--rebuild bacula-1.36.2-1.src.rpm
Installing bacula-1.36.2-1.src.rpm
Building target platforms: i686
Building for target i686
error: line 96: Empty tag: Distribution:
The problematic spec file section looks like:
# check what distribution we are
%if %{rh7} || %{rh8} || %{rh9}
%define _dist %(grep Red /etc/redhat-release)
%endif
%if %{fc1} || %{fc3}
%define _dist %(grep Fedora /etc/redhat-release)
%endif
%if %{wb3}
%define _dist %(grep White /etc/whitebox-release)
%endif
%if %{su9}
%define _dist %(grep SuSE /etc/SuSE-release)
%endif
%if %{mdk}
%define _dist %(grep Mandrake /etc/mandrake-release)
%endif
On a RHEL box, there's no "Fedora" string in /etc/redhat-release so
_dist is undefined. I fixed this by changing the check for fc3 to the
following:
%if %{fc1} || %{fc3}
%define _dist %(cat /etc/redhat-release)
Now, when I try and build, I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] SPECS]# rpmbuild --target i386 \
--define 'build_fc3 1' \
--define 'build_mysql 1' bacula.spec
Building target platforms: i386

Has anyone had luck compiling bacula for RHEL4? Suggestions?

[Bacula-users] Thanks
I got a good backup and restore from an OS 10 server. However when I added the next server files and restarted bacula I got kaboom. I took those server files out and it started fine. Is there a limit on the size or number of lines in the director.conf file, and if so, how do I get around it. I read where you could reference file lists, but havent been able to find an example of it.

Re: [Bacula-users] Build from source errors
"make install" always does a "make" when the things that should be installed are not there. This is why the compiler errors occur. On my SuSE system I also encountered this problem and I installed the "ncurses-devel" and "termcap" packets and then bacula was compiled without errors.

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula-1.36.2-1.src.rpm & RHEL4
Hello,
To build for RHEL4 and MySQL-4 do:
rpmbuild --rebuild \
--define "build_rhel3 1" \
--define "build_mysql 1" \
--define "build_mysql4 1" \
bacula-1.36.2-1.src.rpm
Let me know if this works for you.

Re: [Bacula-users] Help! "Duplicate entry" dbcheck doesn't fix it?!?
Michael Joyner wrote:
Did you recently upgrade to MySQL 4.0? The solution I can see is to
drop the index on Path and the index on Filename, then recreate them
but create them on the full Path and the full Name rather than
limiting it as is currently the case in the make_mysql_tables file.
I don't understand how the index on the Filename.Name and Path.Path
fields change the constraints of records within the tables. An index by
itself solely provides a way to speed up queries against those fields.
An index by itself has no uniqueness properties or constraints on data
inserted into the table.
A PRIMARY KEY on the other hand, is a constraint on the data in order to
uniquely identify each record in the table. A PRIMARY KEY necessarily
creates on index on the PRIMARY KEY field(s). That index is in addition
and unrelated to other defined indexes, though, such as INDEX(Path(50)).
IT IS THE INDEX. :(
Why would MySQL be giving me duplicate errors on a MULTIPLE KEY INDEX?
I ran the following:
use bacula;
alter table File drop index FilenameID;
alter table Path drop index Path;
Error messages gone.
IT ISN'T THE INDEX!
When you ran the statement:
alter table File drop index FilenameID;
I think you REMOVED THE PRIMARY KEY from the File table.
The PRIMARY KEY(FilenameId) statement in make_mysql_tables was the only
thing enforcing unique records within that table. You're not getting
the error because you've setup MySQL to allow duplicates within the File
table.
But, you still have the problem!
I've spent a lot of time on this thread because I'm currently deploying
bacula on RHEL4, which installs MySQL 4.1 by default and it seems like
more work for me to backport and maintain mysql 3.23.51 than it is to
work out issues with bacula and MySQL 4.1. Comments about the keys and
index scared me.
What you're saying and doing doesn't make any sense...
In your previous email, you posted this:
mysql> insert into Path(PathId,Path) values (47947,'C:/$VAULT$.AVG/');
ERROR 1062: Duplicate entry '47947' for key 1
mysql> insert into Path(PathId,Path) values (47948,'Z:/$VAULT$.AVG/');
ERROR 1062: Duplicate entry '47948' for key 1
mysql> insert into Path(Path) values (' ');
ERROR 1062: Duplicate entry '47946' for key 1
mysql> replace into Path(PathId,Path) values (47947,'C:/$VAULT$.AVG/');
ERROR 1062: Duplicate entry '47947' for key 1
mysql> update Path set Path='BOGUS PATH' where PathID=47947;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 0 Changed: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql>
MySQL is telling you that there's a duplicate entry for the PRIMARY KEY
which uniquely identifies each record in the Path table. If we look at
the Path creation SQL in /etc/bacula/make_mysql_tables, we can see what
the structure is:
CREATE TABLE Path (
PathId INTEGER UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
Path BLOB NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(PathId),
INDEX (Path(50))
);
Since the PRIMARY KEY is solely on an AUTO_INCREMENT field, I don't see
how the INDEX on Path has anything to do with anything, and I don't see
how you could ever have a duplicate entry in that field, unless your
table is fscked.
The index on Path should have no bearing whatsoever on the PRIMARY KEY,
and hence the uniqueness of each row.
In fact, the index on the Path and Name fields has no behavioral bearing
on anything if I understand MySQL correctly... It only serves to speed
up queries and doesn't functionally change anything.
I think Kern is right in that your database is fscked.
Kern, could you try and elaborate on this statement... I'm really
having trouble understanding what you mean:
It looks to me like MySQL 4.0 has changed the way they deal with indexing and
keys since version 3.23.51. It appears as if they are using *only* the index
to decide if the key is unique or not. The index was setup on the first 50
characters of the path. Previously, the index was used for indexing only and
not to determine uniqueness.
I don't understand how INDEX (Path(50)) has any bearing on PRIMARY
KEY(PathId), as we have 2 discrete indexes on the Path table, one for
the PathId field which is necessary for the PRIMARY KEY, and another on
Path... They're not really related at all, and the index on Path has no
uniqueness constraints.
Sorry for the length of this email, I just really want to understand
what's going on with the table structure. I've been pondering and
testing these statements for 2 days now on MySQL 4.1, and I can't wrap
my head around what you guys mean.

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula-1.36.2-1.src.rpm & RHEL4
Hello,
Attached is the current spec file that was released with 1.36.2. The
snip you have below is older. I don't have access to RHEL4 so if you can
get it to build my next question would be to tell me the versions
shipped of certain packages. I realize it is probably closer to FC3, but
I think it will build working binaries with the build string I gave you
below. If you can get it to build and supply the version information I
can add an explicit target for RHEL4. If you have other ideas for the
Distribution tag please let me know.
