Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula project management and feature requests

I personally like RFC, because for me RFC means Request For Change and it is used in this sense in a number of large shops. However, since there seems to be some opposition to it, I've dropped it -- Feature Request. On 08.11.2005 15:19, Kern Sibbald wrote: ... Concerning future development of Bacula: As I noted in the 1.38 ReleaseNotes, version 1.38 was different from prior versions because it had a lot more contributions. I expect that this trend will continue. As a consequence, I am going to modify how I normally do development, and instead of making a list of all the features that I will implement in the next version, I will personally sign up for one (maybe two) projects at a time, and when they are complete, I will release a new version. The difference is that I will have more time to review the new code that is being contributed, and will be able to devote more time to a smaller number of projects (1.38 had too many new features for me to handle correctly). I expect that future release schedules will be much the same, and the number of new features will also be much the same providing that the contributions continue to come -- and they show no signs of let up :-) I'm curious... Feature requests -- RFCs: In addition, I would like to formalize the feature requests (RFC) a bit. Instead of me maintaining an informal list of everything I run into (kernstodo), I would like to maintain a formal list of projects. This means that all new feature requests, including those recently discussed on the email lists, must be formally submitted and approved. This sounds good. Seeing how many ideas are presented in the mailing lists, some sort of management seems necessary. Doing everything at the same time usually doesn't work, and perhaps a more formalized way to submit ideas and select what to implement ties people closer into the development. I only hope that not too many people feel that the suggested way to discuss new features is overly bureaucratic... some surely will, but that's life. Formal submission of feature requests will take two forms: 1. non-mandatory, but highly recommended is to discuss proposed new features on the mailing list. 2. Formal submission of an RFC in a special format. I'll give an example of this below, but you can also find it on the web site under Support - Feature Requests. Since it takes a bit of time to properly fill out a RFC form, you probably should check on the email list first. Especially considering that the list users as a whole know a lot about how Bacula works, and what can be done and, more important, can't be done with it's design this is a good idea. ... Once users have had several weeks to submit RFCs, I will organize them, and request users to vote on them. This will allow fixing prioritizing the RFCs. Having a priority is one thing, but getting it implement is another thing -- I am hoping that the Bacula community will take more responsibility for assuring the implementation of accepted RFCs. So, why do we vote and priorize? Wouldn't it be more helpful to publish a list of projects, together with information about the curent state of discussion concerning them, and heve interested developers pich what they want to implement? I think that, since we need people to implement things, it's not the best idea to say we want this. Volunteers step forward but rather help people find interesting things to develop. Of course the opposite could be true, too: That people already involved in the Bacula project are more likely to implement something they see the need for than simply select what they think could be fun to do. Hard to say... ... Your comments on this would be welcome -- as well as your RFCs. Well, you've got my comments, and you will get more suggestions :-) Arno -- Best regards, Kern ( /\ V_V --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.

Now I'll explain you my case that can help to understand my question: As we defined in our security policie, we have to tapes (volumes), and we want that the mon, wed, fri and sun will backed up in one tape and the other weekdays in the other. Buuut we have too two different clients one is a winbox and the other is a linuxbox, and we dont want make different pools or job's because we want that some files on the winbox and some files on the linuxbox (like the same job) one day will be backed up to one tape and the other days will be backup up to the other tape.

[Bacula-users] job to run at 0000-00-00 00:00:00 ?
(Mods: please ignore the other queued post, it was sent from wrong account) Hi all After much recursive running around in the docs to get things working, I am now adding my clients and running them manually (i`ll work on schedules next week). Yesterday, they all worked fine. Today, i submit a manual run job but start time is set to: -00-00 00:00:00 even though when bconsole said is this ok to run? the correct time (i.e. NOW) was displayed. I have also deleted the jobs and tried to manually run them a second time, but I still get the same problem. bconsole shows no messages, the tape drive is loaded with label tapes (the same appendable one I used yesterday that has plenty of room on it). Does anyone have any idea where I should look to fix this? (If its a FAQ and I havent found it, please feel free to flame, laugh and send me obvious links to the relevant pages in the docs) --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.

[Bacula-users] Anticipate next volume request
Hello, in my Bacula system I take differential or full backups on Monday morning (and they go on one pool) and incrementals from Tuesday to Friday (and they go on a different pool). Tape is a manually operated DLT7000. Now, I would like that when last incremental job on Friday has finished, Bacula would send a separate mail to the operator to inform which tape will be used on Monday. It's end of the day, so the director's list is empty. Is it possible to get that with a regular Bacula job, or should I create a custom script that looks into MySQL database?

I can't understand how Geir I can do this ... Use a Volume Retention of 12 months for the month-tapes tape volumes and 1 month for the disk volumes.

Geir If I set File and Job Retention to 99 years all, but one be fine ... the Geir MySQL database where all Job info is stored ... Any suggestions? No, you can't put different File and Job Retentions in the Scheduler. Setting them to 99 years might be OK. It won't keep all the records for 99 years, because the shortest retention (from Volume, File and Job) controls what is kept for each job. When the Volume Retention is reached for a volume, all the job and file records are removed for that volume, so this will happen every month for the disk volumes and every 12 months for the month-tapes. __Martin --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.

Ah, the life of changing priorities. Ok, than I will try to patch configure.in to detect ACL support on solaris. That would be very kind of you ... :-) All right, I'll do. That said, it may take some time since I've no sun at home and are not that familiar with autoconf. How much effort would it be to back port the ACL changes to 1.36.3? I'm a bit reluctant to update the production system to 1.38 right now. You could look at it. Perhaps it wouldn't be too much effort, but the code is conciderably changed because it has been moved around a lot (new files). The code is now much simpler (at least the main line code). However, there might be some complications with new features or something. I'm having trouble keeping up as it is, so it isn't something I would do, but I'd be happy to answer questions. My advice would be to test 1.38 and move up -- aside from problems with multiple concurrent jobs accessing autochangers, where users pull cassettes in and out, it seems to be very stable (more so than 1.36 IMO). --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.

[Bacula-users] Ignore FileSet Changes being ignored
I recently set up Bacula and did a full backup about a week ago, and a number of incremental since. I then added an additional directory to the exclude section of the file set resource, and as would be expected, this caused Bacula to upgrade the next backup from incremental to full. I don't want this to happen, so I canceled the job, shut down Bacula, added a Ignore FileSet Changes = yes directive to the fileset (which I understand is dangerous, and which will be removed shortly). After restarting Bacula and rerunning the just canceled job, Bacula still wants to upgrade this job to full. Is there anything else that I have to do to avoid this full backup, or any other way to work around the problem? -- John Kodis. --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.

Re: [Bacula-users] proper way to plan for level upgrades
Hi, On 11.11.2005 17:34, Jesse Keating wrote: I've just added incremental nightly backups to my schedules, and there will be some cases where a valid full was not found. My problem is that the incrementals go to a File storage device and the volumes go to a File pool. When bacula couldn't find a proper full backup, it went ahead and did a full backup to File SD and File pool. What would be the proper way to send this backup to say Tape pool and Tape SD instead? Or skip the inc job is no valid full was found? One question first: Have you already tried a recovery which includes files from pools on tape and disk-based tools? I'd recommend to analyze the results of trying this and first creating a disaster recovery procedure with such a setup... Then, I only found one way to handle your setup (mine is similar). Make sure that job level upgrades don't happen (which _can_ be a serious problem. Adding new clienst is the simple case.) or at least that volumes for the pools involved can not be automatically created, so that you have the chance to manually intervene when necessary. I don't know of any option to let Bacula handle such a scenario automatically correct. I'm counting on python scripting, but didn't investigate yet. Also, I assume that python events and Bacula control from a python method are not yet ready to suport the necessary operations.

My problem is that the incrementals go to a File storage device and the volumes go to a File pool. When bacula couldn't find a proper full backup, it went ahead and did a full backup to File SD and File pool. What would be the proper way to send this backup to say Tape pool and Tape SD instead? Or skip the inc job is no valid full was found? One question first: Have you already tried a recovery which includes files from pools on tape and disk-based tools? I'd recommend to analyze the results of trying this and first creating a disaster recovery procedure with such a setup... Then, I only found one way to handle your setup (mine is similar). Make sure that job level upgrades don't happen (which _can_ be a serious problem. Adding new clienst is the simple case.) or at least that volumes for the pools involved can not be automatically created, so that you have the chance to manually intervene when necessary. I don't know of any option to let Bacula handle such a scenario automatically correct. I'm counting on python scripting, but didn't investigate yet. Also, I assume that python events and Bacula control from a python method are not yet ready to suport the necessary operations.

I'm a bit reluctant to update the production system to 1.38 right now. You could look at it. Perhaps it wouldn't be too much effort, but the code is conciderably changed because it has been moved around a lot (new files). The code is now much simpler (at least the main line code). However, there might be some complications with new features or something. I'm having trouble keeping up as it is, so it isn't something I would do, but I'd be happy to answer questions. My advice would be to test 1.38 and move up -- aside from problems with multiple concurrent jobs accessing autochangers, where users pull cassettes in and out, it seems to be very stable (more so than 1.36 IMO). --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.

Here are the TLS portions of my configuration files:

I just set mine up today. I started with Landon's configuration, but
one thing I noticed is that (based on watching with tcpdump) I wasn't
getting an encrypted connection from the FD to the SD. I had to add
TLS Require = yes to the FileDaemon section on the client
configuration to get an encrypted connection. I'm no SSL guru, so maybe
I've missed some other problem in my configuration.
Whoops, I forgot that section. Yeah, you'll need the TLS Require line.
FileDaemon {
Name = client1-fd
...
# I think this is used when connecting to the storage daemon.
TLS Require = yes
TLS CA Certificate File = /etc/bacula/ssl/ca.pem
TLS Certificate = /etc/bacula/ssl/client1-cert.pem
TLS Key = /etc/bacula/ssl/client1-key.pem
}
Since the storage daemon isn't validating client certificates (and
doesn't really need to -- the client can only connect with a valid
cookie from the Directory), you shouldn't need to specify
Certificate/Key pair here.
