[Bacula-users] MTEOM
HI, I had a tape which bacula failed to write on so I did mt erase and relabeled it with label command and started to reuse it, what happened is that I got this error from bacula after it wrote several jobs on the tape Error: Unable to position to end of data on device "/dev/tape". ERR=dev.c:494 ioctl MTEOM error on /dev/tape.

After bacula mark all volumes with Error, I always update the catalog and set the next volume manually to state "append" and mount the tape. Then bacula use this volume.

OK, keeping data a year is easy -- simply set the expiration period for the
Volumes so they will not be reused as well as for the jobs.
I'm not much of a fan of manual intervention.

Unfortunately, old unused Client definitions often remain in the
bacula-dir.conf (at least this is the case for me). This seems to complicate
the problem and doesn't resolve my concern that Bacula is currently too
agressive doing pruning. Normally this over zelous pruning is not obvious
unless you set pruning times very short as a few people do so that they can
rotate through a very small set of tapes.

The issue here is what to do to the catalog when the retention period expires.
As it stands, Bacula will prune the records after the retention expires. I'm
proposing "extending" what currently happens to something more logical.
That is: regardless of the retention period, Bacula will not prune the last
Full, Diff, or Inc File data until a month after the retention period for the
last Full backup that was done.
This is additional security for your data and also "automagically" prunes the
database as you define, but in a slightly more intelligent manner.
Unless someone can find some really good points against this, it is what I
plan to implement.

It is statically linked, but to create, modify, and dump a database, you need
the SQLite executable as well.

I don't believe that is correct, but I don't have the time to go into it other
than to say that it is possible to install and run an rpm having conflicts.
You just need to be careful and know what you are doing. The other solution
is to switch to MySQL or PostgreSQL.

Hello Bernhard, What version of Bacula are you using? Is there any chance that you had non-zero Slot numbers originally defined for those volumes that were marked in error?

[Bacula-users] performance problem on windows
Hi, I installed bacula 1.36.3 to backup two Linux server and one Windows 2K server. It seems to work, almost: the backup from the windows machine ist very slow. The backup of the Linux servers runs with about 800 kBytes/s (DDS-3 tapes), but the Windows server just returns about 100 kB/s, which is much too slow to backup 15 GB! What I don't understand at all is, that I in some of the test runs I did reach these 800 kB/s for the Windows machine as well and I can't remember, what I changed. Do you have any idea what I could look for? Are there some settings in the fileset definitions, which reduce performance on a Windows machine this tremendously?

OK, thanks. There is something going on here that I don't understand. Bacula should never crunch through your tapes marking them in error. It can do that for the tape that is currently mounted if there is a serious error. Since I have not been following this in detail, and I would like to understand it, could you please file a bug report at bugs.bacula.org ? What is important for me is your bacula-dir.conf and bacula-sd.conf files and as much Bacula output that was generated as you still have that shows what was happening while Bacula was marking your Volumes in error. Also, if you mounted the different tapes, please indicate which ones and when as that is not obvious from Bacula Job reports ...

I've added a new table to the "supported tape drives" section of the

This is already done providing you enable either MD5 or SHA1 signatures. This
will be used in the Base implementation.

Re: [Bacula-users] multitape and automatic labeling
Hi Arno, No the tape was not labeled--it was blank as can be. Nor was that volume label in the catalog. I was under the impression from the docs that automatic labeling would allow me to just feed blank tapes into the drives and bacula would properly detect, label, and use the tapes whenever it needed to write data. Do I need to pre-label all of the blank tapes I have? Thanks.

[Bacula-users] performance problem on windows
Hi, I installed bacula 1.36.3 to backup two Linux server and one Windows 2K server. It seems to work, almost: the backup from the windows machine ist very slow. The backup of the Linux servers runs with about 800 kBytes/s (DDS-3 tapes), but the Windows server just returns about 100 kB/s, which is much too slow to backup 15 GB! What I don't understand at all is, that I in some of the test runs I did reach these 800 kB/s for the Windows machine as well and I can't remember, what I changed. Do you have any idea what I could look for? Are there some settings in the fileset definitions, which reduce performance on a Windows machine this tremendously?

[Bacula-users] How to generate passwords fo authentication
Hello Bacula Team, I just started adding some clients in my config who needs to be backed up. But now im busy with the passwords and im wondering in what format the passwords are generated. In the documentation they mentioned it was a MD5 hash but it's to short for MD5 in my oppinion. I had generated a MD5 hash and added it in the configs both client and server-side, but if i try to connect through the Wx console to the client I get: 'Failed to connect to client' Is it possible to insert "plain-text" passwords? Or can you tell me where to find a proper generator that allows me to generate a 42 digit hash? Im looking forward hearing from you.

Hi, I've set bacula up to work with our autochanger. my 2 questions are: If I have two labeled tapes in the library, then bacula uses one to full capacity. Will bacula automatically continue the job on the next tape? Also, when bacula has finished all jobs, will it place the tape back in to the library slot.

Unlikely, but I would be happy if someone tried.
Recently a user reported serious performance problems and stalled backups. The
bottom line was a NVidia ethernet card with an old driver. See the Win32
chapter of the development manual for more details.
Bottom line: check that your hardware/firmware are up to date as well as the
network drivers. If you have an NVidia network card be suspicious.

The AP is in the same room as the laptop so connection strength is permanently excellent and I can transfer at ~5MB/s from our Samba server in both directions so I don't think that is it. Anything else I can try to identify the problem? Cheers, -- Dominic Marks --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the 'Do More With Dual!' webinar happening July 14 at 8am PDT/11am EDT.

There will one more beta release of Bacula (winbacula too) without VSS.
I will explain why and propose a solution (that I hope will please everyone
including Thorsten) in a email I hope to write tonight or tomorrow.

I believe that Juan Francis sent you the specific document coordinates.
Interfacing to the Director from php is a project that I plan to attack after
the 1.38 release. Depending on what you want to do and whether or not your
project is Open Source, we may find some common grounds. I know how to
interface to the Director, and I can write either C or C++ routines that
provide a sort of API. What I don't know how to do (I can learn but the less
I have to learn at this point, the better) is to connect php to C or C++
routines.

[Bacula-users] Re: [Bacula-devel] Severe problem: director hangs in production system
Hello Volker, There were one or two race conditions that I fixed in 1.36.3. You might look at the release notes and see if they appy to you. Beware 1.36.3 requires the new format FileSets (and hence a Full backup unless you explicitly disable it).

The project will definitely be open source, and currently I have access to ClarkConnect's php module and class. This will greatly increase my ability to build the web interface.

[Bacula-users] Problem with automatic labelling and Label Format
Hi,
I'm having trouble getting bacula's automatic labelling working like I
want it to. I have created three types of pools, inc, diff and full:
bacula-dir.conf:
Pool {
Name = Full-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 6 months
Accept Any Volume = yes # write on any volume in the pool
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
# Label Format = "Full-${Client}-"
Label Format = Full-
Maximum Volumes = 6
}
Pool {
Name = Inc-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 20 days
Accept Any Volume = yes
Maximum Volume Jobs = 6
# Label Format = "Inc-${Client}-"
Label Format = Inc-
Maximum Volumes = 5
}
Pool {
Name = Diff-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 40 days
Accept Any Volume = yes
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Label Format = Diff-
# Label Format = "Diff-${Client}-"
Maximum Volumes = 6
}
As you can see from above I have commented out how I really wanted
bacula to label the volumes. With the current config bacula will now
automically label volumes "Full-0001", "Inc-0001" and so on. The problem
is when I use variables like "Full-${Client}-" bacula does _not_ append
the volume number, like "Full-someclient-fd-0001", only
"Full-someclient-fd-". Is there perhaps a bug in the automatic labelling
support when combined with variable expansions or am I doing something
wrong?

Does anyone know how to solve this? The btape has no volume option.

I don't think you need this with a dvd-writer.

OK, but the client or director would have to keep *per block* checksums available online so the next differential backup can compare them. __Martin --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the 'Do More With Dual!' webinar happening July 14 at 8am PDT/11am EDT.

Re: [Bacula-users] Re: disaster recovery & windows
Hi Romain, As I said you in french, I think Bacula is not better nor worst than the others softwares concerning open files in Windows. You can always use an open transfer manager, as you would with another softare. I'm a little more anxious and surprised about the service packs and updates as you says they are not restored. I hope to try this friday. Regards, Ludovic Strappazon.

RE: [Bacula-users] 2 questions about Autochangers
Hi Beren, Yes, Bacula will automatically load the next tape once the first one is full. Both tapes must be in the same pool in the catalog. You may need to specify "Accept Any Volume = yes" in your pool definition in bacula-dir.conf. All of the examples I've seen have that line anyway. :) I can't speak for all autochangers, but mine leaves the last used tape loaded in the drive, and doesn't rewind it automatically. Mine is an HP DAT40x6 (6 tape DDS-4 autochanger). My drive's device name is /dev/nst0. With the mt tape driver in Linux, The "n" in nst0 specifies "no automatic rewind". Other changers may behave differently. The best way to find out is to test. My guess is that most changers would leave the tape in the drive. You could automate the unloading of a tape after a job by creating a RunAfter script containing an mtx-changer unload command.

Re: [Bacula-users] Still confuse of connecting the storage daemon
As Arno already has told you, you have problems in the following two areas:
> 12-Jul 15:44 becky-fd: becky.2005-07-12_15.44.41 Error: ..
\lib\../../lib/bnet.c:685 gethostbyname() for host "backup" failed:
ERR=Authoritative answer for host not found.
In other words, becky-fd can not resolve the name "backup" to an ip address.
If you would take the time to read your storage definition you would find:
> Address = backup # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
Note the comment which says USE A FULLY QUALIFIED NAME HERE, or use an ip
address or configure your resolver to append the correct domain name.
> 12-Jul 15:44 backup-dir: message.c:462 Mail prog: bsmtp: bsmtp.c:276 Fatal
connect error to localhost: ERR=Connection refused
The mail program, bsmtp is failing. Bacula is attempting to mail you the error
messages. This might be related to your resolver problem as it can not
connect to localhost.
This is a "self-help" mailing list. In order to receive any help you are
expected to make some effort of your own to help yourself, starting with a
thorough reading of the user manual. Further, you are expected to be
conversant with basic system administration. If you are unable or unwilling
to do this, then your only recourse is, as Arno also has suggested, to hire a
consultant.
Also, please direct all inquiries and responses to the list.

RE: [Bacula-users] Re: disaster recovery & windows
If my memory is correct (and I'm hoping it is since I'm doing this), a system
state backup of Windows should grab that stuff. I haven't tried restoring that
in a LONG time...but iirc, it should work.

Well, this is a function of the drive and the OS. Bacula does a read of the
tape. If you have an old stupid drive an the tape is blank, it runs away. If
you have a modern drive and a good OS, it should report some sort of "error",
in which case Bacula will assume the tape is not labeled and proceed with
labeling and using it. I don't know what more I can do.

I'm just guessing here, but your mount command indicates type iso9660.
Does
your DVD already have an iso9660 file system written to it? If not, this
might be the source of your problem.

Please read the manual. It is very clear on this point.
Bacula does not append the volume number when using variable expansions.
Anything else would not be what most people want.

Greetings,
I do not /know/ what is causing this, and have not experienced it
myself, however here are a couple of suggestions (in no particular order):
1. Swap the backups around - do the first one second, and the second one
first. That should give some indication whether it is a problem with
the job that runs first, or a problem with the particular job that you
happened to run first.
2. Inspect the MySQL logs.
3. Check/repair the MySQL database.
Rowdy

So should i remove the MountPoint and MountCommand options?
I was already in the example config, so i just thought its correct.
