I, too, have received file-in-use errors while attempting to use VSS on two
different WinXP machines with the VSS FD. I will gladly post my configs
and messages if it will be helpful. I am running 1.37.30 SD & Dir and the
1.37.30 VSS FD and I do have "Enable VSS = yes" in the FileSet defination.

Ok, I set everything up here at home and I'm getting the same thing. I
first tried backing up my laptop, which was the client I was testing
with at work, the "cannot open file" errors persisted. I then set up the
FD on another XP system I have here. Unfortunately it has the same
issue. Here's some output that I think should show everything is setup
correctly for VSS to work. Other than using a VSS enabled FD, and adding
"Enable VSS = yes" to the fileset, is there anything else required to
use VSS? I noticed there was a "Volume Shadow Copy" windows service. I
don't know if it would matter but I tried running backups with this
stopped(default) and started, with the same results.

Re: [Bacula-users] corrupt files on full restore
Hello, Thanks for responding. Also, thanks for providing such a useful program! Kern Sibbald wrote: You should do three things: 1. Run btape "test" and "fill" commands. The latter is very slow. I have done both but I don't see any critical errors. But then again, maybe I am missing something. I didn't have time to run a multitape fill test but I plan on trying it later. As recommended, I turned off hardware compression before running the fill test. I have attached the output of both commands, run with the '-v -p' options. At the end of the 'fill' test, I did see this in the syslog: btape: btape: End of Volume "TestVolume1" at 103:11361 on device /dev/nst0. Write of 64512 bytes got -1. But I assume its because btape encountered an EOF. 2. Look at your system log to see if you are getting any errors. Besides the occasional "Key=8h (BLANK CHECK)" SCSI error when reading a blank tape, I haven't seen anything. 3. Turn on the directive in the default SD config file that checks for tape alerts. It can provide early warning if you have bad tapes. I have this in my Device resource: Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f /dev/sg5 | grep TapeAlert || true'" I'm still stumped. Thanks for you help.

I wanted to upgrade from version 1.34.6 to 1.36.3 but when I go to start bacula I get an error about my PostgreSQL database configuration. It says something about expected version 8 but got 7 and terminates the init script for the bacula director.

Well, something is obviously wrong because the FD reports that 0 jobs have run

of jobs increments. It appears you might be using the wrong client.
If you rebooted since this morning when you ran the backup, it would explain

[Bacula-users] Suggestion about saving space on tapes
Hi all, I am currently backing up several similar systems onto one volume, as probably most people do. To save time and space, I have the following suggestion: In principle it is unnecessary to store the same content twice on the same volume. I assume that, during restore, a volume can either be read completely or completely gets lost, so there is no immediate benefit from storing the same content twice on one single volume. Now it would be nice if bacula would never put the same file *content* twice on the same volume. This could happen in a transparent manner: bacula has a database with all files stored on each volume. When a request to store a file arrives, bacula could easily determine if this file has already been written to the volume earlier (looking up the file size and MD5 sum in all entries in the database for this volume) and then store something like a "backlink on the tape" together with the filename (which may be different from the other file with the same content) instead of the file itself. Personally I think about the following implementation: The FD could, before transmitting a file, transmit the path/name, size and MD5 sum beforehand. Then then the SD could perhaps decide if it still needs the data or if it could simply store this "hardlink" instead. The SD would probably have to consult the director for database lookup. Perhaps this idea could be merged with the "basefiles" concept: a file would become a basefile automatically when the same content arrives a second time on the same volume. But, according to my idea, there would never be a need to store the "basefiles" separately, so no new backup level and/or strategy would be needed. Of course, restores will become more complicated: instead of working through one single physical session, multiple sessions will have to be read. This concept would make volume handling much more flexible. A volume would never overflow because of storing the same set of files multiple times. Full Backups would automatically shrink when inadvertently done twice on the same tape. Logically, each volume would still contain the same data, just in a different form. Effectively this would just be an "abstraction layer" above the physical volume. This would mean that most procedures would not change much, there is no need for a new concept (like "static files" or the like). There are some more complications, e.g. when considering spooled catalog updates while streaming to a fast tape device, but these should not be unsurmountable. What do you think about this?

Re: Re: [Bacula-users] Config error: Keyword EnableVSS not permitted in this re
Kern,
I did reboot the client. A test backup that I ran between the last email and
this one shows up in the fd. When I get home tonight, I'll set everything up on
a server there and see if I have the same issue.
Thanks,
Thomas

Well, something is obviously wrong because the FD reports that 0 jobs have run
since it was started. I recommend you run again, then check that the number
of jobs increments. It appears you might be using the wrong client.
If you rebooted since this morning when you ran the backup, it would explain
the 0, but then I don't know what is going on -- perhaps Thorsten will have
something to say.

I suspect that this is because the tape is in the drive and the "update slots
scan ..." did not unload it. If I am not mistaken, this will be corrected by
the new mtx-changer script, which reports back Volumes in the drive as well
as in the magazine. You might want to take the 1.37.30 version as it stands
and test it with your 1.36.x setup. It *may* solve that problem.

Yes, probably so, but undoubtedly there will be a number of other annoyances

Hi, Kern Sibbald wrote: On Wednesday 20 July 2005 16:27, Arno Lehmann wrote: Hello, the following has been discussed before. I was able to reproduce the following: I use a 6-slot autoloader. I have a query to report which tapes are loaded in the slots. I insert a magazine with six cartridges and do 'update slots scan storage=HPDAT" After that, the query correctly reports the tapes in all six slots. The backup running first uses the tape already loaded in the drive after the scan. One tape is filled, bacula changes the tape, but now the report doesn't show the tape just unloaded. What report? The report as printed by the following query in query.sql (MySQL): # 17 :List which media bacula thinks is in changer: SELECT MediaId,VolumeName,VolBytes/(1024*1024*1024) AS GB,Slot,Pool.Name AS Pool ,MediaType,VolStatus FROM Media LEFT JOIN Pool ON Media.PoolId=Pool.PoolId WHERE (Slot > 0) AND (InChanger=1) ORDER BY MediaType ASC, Slot ASC; When I manually update the volume information, everything goes as expected. What Volume information? I don't understand what you are updating.

Could somebody verify this? I don't understand the problem for the reasons noted above. The problem is that in a special case the InChanger Flag seems to get cleared where it should remain set. That case is when you do an update slots scan command, bacula fills the volume loaded in the drive by the update slots command, and then continues with another volume without user intervention. Now would be a good time to take the pain an upgrade to 1.37.30. If you still have the problem, I can probably fix it before releasing the software in the next few weeks. Yep, I will upgrade as soon as I can... I have one rather long job running for two days already, and only wait for that to be done, then for my regular jobs to run, then I'm away for three days, and in the next week I hope to do the upgrade. Considering that the autochanger support seems to have changed a bit, I even hope that the above problem disappeared automagically ;-) By the way - the above is far from serious.

[Bacula-users] ACL's with Bacula on FreeBSD (resend)
I have ACL's working on our FreeBSD Server using Samba but when I tried to backup and restore the files using Bacula I was unable to restore the ACL's. When I investigated I discovered that Bacula configured itself to have "ACL support: no". I compiled it from soure using ports (bacula-1.36.2) The relevant portion of the configure check is as follows. checking sys/acl.h usability... yes checking sys/acl.h presence... yes checking for sys/acl.h... yes checking for acl_get_file in -lacl... no >From my research that last test is only really valid on linux. I would really like to know how to get Bacula to backup and restore ACL's on FreeBSD. Is this a known issue that has a simple fix or have I missed something?

I don't understand the problem for the reasons noted above.
Now would be a good time to take the pain an upgrade to 1.37.30. If you still
have the problem, I can probably fix it before releasing the software in the
next few weeks.

[Bacula-users] slot inventory problem
Hello, the following has been discussed before. I was able to reproduce the following: I use a 6-slot autoloader. I have a query to report which tapes are loaded in the slots. I insert a magazine with six cartridges and do 'update slots scan storage=HPDAT" After that, the query correctly reports the tapes in all six slots. The backup running first uses the tape already loaded in the drive after the scan. One tape is filled, bacula changes the tape, but now the report doesn't show the tape just unloaded. When I manually update the volume information, everything goes as expected. When I manually unload the tape from the drive before the job requests a tape, everything works normal, too: bacula sees the drive is empty and loads a tape automatically. Could somebody verify this?

Yes we do, cause we use tapes. ;^)
With using the "Max Use Duration" you can limit the use of your disks.
When you set it to 23h you make sure it wont get used after that -> e.g. for
the next days backup. And they remain "used" for the "Volume Retention", 6 days
in your config.
Looks good, doesnt it? :]

Re: [Bacula-users] full -> tape, incremental -> disk
Hi, Adrian Close wrote: On Tue, 19 Jul 2005, Arno Lehmann wrote: This might give problems with job promotion, I try to avoid that by starting the affected backups by hand. Yeah. So, my problem now becomes that promoted incrementals want to use the storage device defined in the job override. The promoted jobs therefore get written to disk (provided I have an appropriate FileStorage volume defined in my "full" pool). Scheduled full backups go to the right device. That's the problem, right. I can indeed get around this by running jobs manually, but I'll eventually have 150+ clients across three continents, so that gets tricky. ;) You could work around that by adding one job at a time to the config and the schedules and start the initila full backup manually. That's some work, but not too bad, considering you're usually doing it only once. Or set up the schedules that the first full backup is scheduled just after including it into the configuration. I suppose I can live with promoted full backups going to disk, given that the scheduled full backups will go to tape. The only thing I don't really like about that is that it increases the likelihood of full backups for often-absent clients never making it to tape. Perhaps we need something like "Full Backup Storage" and "Incremental Backup Storage" directives so different backup types can be locked to a storage device. Yes, that was discussed briefly, but I suppose that the upcoming python support will change baculas handling of job promotion and thus I didn't push that issue. Alternatively, being able to attach a specific storage device to a pool would do the trick. That's unfortunately not how bacula is intended to work, I think. Arno Thoughts?

Re: [Bacula-users] Tape device definitions
Hello, Richard White wrote: I have some interesting problems with my tape drives. The Bacula system has three "identical" drives: they are all VXA-1 drives. One is mounted interally and two are in a RakPak, which is connected to the external SCSI bus. The ID of the internal drive is 4 and the external drives are 8 and 9. When I used the default device definitions of /dev/nst0, /dev/nst1 and /dev/nst2, I got mixed results. I complained about that in an earlier post, and "corrected" it by changing them to /dev/st0, 1 and 2. At this point, Bacula works, to a point. That is, the internal drive works all the time. There is a problem with the external drives, though. I can mount and unmount tapes and even start backups. Those backups fail, however, with this kind of message: 18-Jul 16:51 lbackup-sd: Ready to append to end of Volume "Week_2B" at file=3. 18-Jul 16:55 lbackup-sd: GIS_Two.2005-07_18.16.51.42 Error: block.c:552 Write error at 3:48 on device /dev/st1. There are additional error lines which I will post if they are important. When I try mt -f /dev/st1 rewind I get: /dev/st1: No such device or address When I run ./btape -c bacula-sd.conf /dev/st1 I get: Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes. btape: butil.c:258 Using device: "/dev/st1" for writing. 19-Jul 11:29 btape: Fatal Error at device.c:295 because: dev.c:289 stored: unable to open device /dev/st1: ERR=No such device or address 19-Jul 11:29 btape: Fatal Error at device.c:288 because: dev open failed: dev.c:289 stored: unable to open device /dev/st1: ERR=No such device or address 19-Jul 11:29 btape: btape Fatal error: butil.c:167 Cannot open /dev/st1 So, there is something wrong with the way I am identifying these tape devices. Bacula can mount, unmount and even write to them up to a point. The last two unsuccessful backups put 592,030,570 bytes and 750,959,576 bytes on them, respectively, before quitting. If I can just identify them correctly, I am confident that they will work for me. Well, basically something is seriously wrong with your system... In your place, I'd do the following: - Boot into singel-user mode (usually you supply S as an option on the boot loders command line, I think) - Verify the tape devices are recognized by your SCSI drivers - they should show up in dmesg output, and in /proc/scsi/scsi - Verify if your SCSI HBA needs some special options for the devices (see /usr/src/linux/Documentation directory) - Make sure the proper device nodes exist (should be /dev/st[0-2] and /dev/nst[0-2] and three /dev/sg? entries). this might depend on the setup of devfs, but I can't help you with that...) - Check the tape drives using the manufacturers test program. - Check the cabling, especially cable length and termination. - Check the drives with an unused tape and using dd or tar to fill a tape and measure the speed. Depending on compression and the data you use, you should get results you can compare to the drive specs. Do this one drive at a time. - Use btape to check the drive access using baculas methods, again one drive at a time. - Restart the computer and verify the drives show up again in /proc/scsi/scsi - Always watch he system log for SCSI errors, SCSI driver messages or st driver messages. Especially if the drives can't be accessed under their "names" like /dev/nst2 there is something broken... might be a case for your system integrator or hardware service, after all...

AH! Now thats the thing that you might reach with the "Max Use Duration" as
well. So you get a bit independet from the amount of jobs running.

Re: [Bacula-users] problem recycling volumes
Hi.
Just one quick they that jumped into my eye at first:
Why do you use one pool for every day?
We do something very similar here, thats our pool for that:
Pool {
Name = Daily
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
Recycle Current Volume = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Accept Any Volume = yes
LabelFormat = "D${Day:p/2/0/r}${mirror_days[$Day]}0"
Cleaning Prefix = "CLNI"
## recycle the tape after ...
Volume Retention = 13 days
## we use it once but for multiple jobs -> e.g. not Maximum Volume Jobs
= 1
Volume Use Duration = 23 hours
}
The tapes can be used for 23 hours and are reused every two weeks. Works here
without any issues, so it might be the different usage of the pools.
Greetings, Michael

I am root. If you see me laughing, you better have a backup.

You need to mark the volume as used after all jobs have been written,
so it can be recycled. This can be done using the "Maximum Volume
Jobs" directive. Just set it to the number of jobs you run per day,
e.g. "Maximum Volume Jobs = 5" if you want to make a backup of four
servers and Bacula's catalog.
HTH,
Hendrik

[Bacula-users] problem recycling volumes
Hello Bacula List,
before I start, let me say that I have read the manual chapters corosponding
to my problem over and over but in the end nothing worked as it should.
My Problem: I have seven harddisks, 250 GB each, which schould be used for a
daily full backup of a bunch of servers. I want to use a new harddisk every
day. the harddisks are labled with the name of the day they schould get used.
After 7 days the harddisk should get recycled an then reused.
No matter what I tried (e.g. Use Volume Once paramter) the volume stayed in
status append and one week later the backup was appended or only one job was
written to tape it gets marked as "used" and no other job will be written.
What is wrong with my config?
Here are the important parts of my config:
##
# S C H E D U L E#
##
# tgliches Backup: Montag bis Sonntag um 20:00 Uhr
Schedule {
Name = "Daily"
Run = Level=Full Pool=montag Monday at 20:00
Run = Level=Full Pool=dienstag Tuesday at 20:00
Run = Level=Full Pool=mittwoch Wednesday at 20:00
Run = Level=Full Pool=donnerstag Thursday at 20:00
Run = Level=Full Pool=freitag Friday at 20:00
Run = Level=Full Pool=samstag Saturday at 20:00
Run = Level=Full Pool=sonntag Sunday at 20:00
}
##
# S T O R A G E #
##
Storage {
Name = File
# Do not use "localhost" here
Address = x.y.z # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
Password = ""
Device = FileStorage
Media Type = File
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
}
##
# P O O L S #
##
Pool {
Name = montag
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
Auto Prune = yes
Volume Retention = 6d
Accept Any Volume = yes
Maximum Volumes = 1
}
the same as montag for every day

Re: [Bacula-users] corrupt files on full restore
Hello,
You should do three things:
1. Run btape "test" and "fill" commands. The latter is very slow.
2. Look at your system log to see if you are getting any errors.
3. Turn on the directive in the default SD config file that checks
for tape alerts. It can provide early warning if you have bad tapes.
