[Bacula-users] Re: What devices SD needs to access?
Hmmm. It is probably better to run that way, but I still don't understand why the previous setup didn't work unless there was something wrong with the gid bacula or it didn't actually get added to the disk group. I think it is because the drop() function calls setgroups() with the selected gid, so even if the bacula user is a member of the disk group in /etc/group, the process is not in that group. At least I think that's what setgroups() does. The members listed in /etc/group only affect callers of the initgroups() function, such as login or su. I must admit I really don't know for sure how these things work. But I assumed that since the process accessing the tape was running with uid bacula, and _user_ bacula belongs to group disk (/etc/group), that process should have been able to access the tape drive that had rw permissions for group disk. I've been thinking these rights would have been checked just at the time the process accesses the device. So, the way how I thought it was that the gid of the process even wasn't supposed to affect to anything. But this might have been a wrong idea from me. -- TiN --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!

The Problem is that bacula checks the Volume Use Duration only after a Backup, so we tried to let an admin job which run with that pool set the VolStatus for the used tape to Used, but this wouldnt work. A quick fix will be an job which run on that pool and just backup a small file to close the tape.

When barcode is used, zeroth label is zapped, which seems to be
further ignored. However when barcodes is used, first argument is
zapped, because i = find_arg_keywords() returns an index of found

It is always better to file a bug report because it permits users to get
notification of bugs and bug fixes in a more systematic way, and it provides
better tracking of the project's bugs.
I have, however, applied your patch, and will most likely release a 1.38.5 ...

[Bacula-users] Contents of an Incremental Backup ?
Hi ! One of our servers does a weekly full-save (90gb) and daily incrementals ... those incrementals have grown in size over the last two weeks up to a daily size of 32GB.

[Bacula-users] backup strategy/config questions
Hi, I want to backup 2 of our server to tape (AIT-2, 50GB native, 65-70GB compressed, TLS-4210 12 slot autochanger). bacula 1.36.3 (debian sarge, maybe I'll build bacula 1.38.4 from source...) is running and I'm already able to backup to tape. Both machines are also backed up to disk by an other backup tool, but I want to have a backup on tape, just to be safe... What I want: Server 1: * ~55GB data * full backup each Sunday 6am * no inc/diff backup * 2 tapes/slots for 2 backups/weeks Server 2: * ~190GB data (takes 10 hours and more...) * monthly backup at the first Saturday 8pm of the new month, this should be archived for 2 years * regular full backup each Friday at 7pm, incr. backup Moday to Thursday at 7pm Because I'm only rarely at the place where the autochanger is located, I can't change the tapes every week. My goal is to change only the archive tapes once a month and - if possible - leave/reuse the other tapes. I'm not quite sure how to setup bacula to achieve this. Should I really use 2 differnt jobs and differnt pools for the regular/archive backup of server 2? I'd create a pool with 2 tapes for server 1, and a pool with 3 tapes for the archive job. Thus 7 tapes are left for the regular jobs. But the 2 regular full backups already need 6 tapes, thus only 1 tape is left for the incr. job. I'm also very unsure about the right settings for retention/prune/purge/recycle. Maybe I'm a just bit to confused at the moment ;) Ralf --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Bacula-users] RPMs for RHEL4 on x86_64, mysql
Hello, I just build those packages from bacula-1.38.4-1.src.rpm. It took me (as a non-c-programmer-and-rpmbuild-newbe) less than half an hour. Inclusive installing all dependencies before building. The build process itself worked very smooth. Then I could roll out the packages to all my shiny new servers. I am impressed. (especially when comparing that to the usual software installation nightmare on certain systems from Redmond) Many thanks to everyone working on bacula! If anyone is interested in these packages - just let me know. I can also build postgresql if needed. One question: I havn't seen any x86_64 packages in the file releases list yet. Is there a plan to do that for upcoming releases? Or would that be something to contribute? best regards, Stephan --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

First, upgrade to 1.38.whatever-is-current. Using volumes from more than one pool in one autochanger is not supported with 1.36, and you will probably run into problems sooner or later.

Should I really use 2 differnt jobs and differnt pools for the regular/archive backup of server 2? One job per each combination of client and fileset. You set the levels in the schedule. See the manual for more information. I'd create a pool with 2 tapes for server 1, and a pool with 3 tapes for the archive job. Thus 7 tapes are left for the regular jobs. But the 2 regular full backups already need 6 tapes, thus only 1 tape is left for the incr. job. Determining the right strategy is, obviously, up to you. (You wouldn't be the first to discover that your autochanger doesn't fit your needs, though.) Apart from that, I don't exactly understand why you make a distinction between archive and regular jobs. The simplest solution is to keep the full backups as long as you need them, and have the differential and incremental jobs go to pools that cycle more quickly. In that case, you could leave the diff/incr volumes in the changer and only remove the full backup volumes. I'm also very unsure about the right settings for retention/prune/purge/recycle. That's something you should look up in the manual, then - I couldn't explain it much differently. Maybe I'm a just bit to confused at the moment ;) Maybe... start with a simple experimental setup, with a small fileset, disk based volumes, and run your backups multiple times a day. This would allow you to observer the volume management live. Arno Ralf --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!

[Bacula-users] Multiple Tape Drives Attached, Labeling/Writing to wrong Drive
I have an interesting problem, which I am sure is due to ignorance. Here is a
crash course on my scenario:
I have serveral jobs that backup to disk. I have 6 Tape drives (5 Sony DDS-4's
and 1 Onstream ADR-50) which have passed the btape tests. They are
setup /dev/nst0-/dev/nst5 both in the storage daemon and client file. I am
trying to run a test job to the onstream, /dev/nst5. For some reason when I
do, it starts trying to write/read the tape in /dev/nst1, gives up, and then
try's again to read /dev/nst4. After not finding ADR-50 media in either of
those drives, it finally tries the Onstream drive, which then blows up because
it has a TestVolume1 label to it. So now I am trying to relabel and its
jumping through the same hoops to label. Here are my configs, any help would
be greatly appreciated:

Then I did a ls -l on /dev/scsi/changer/c1t0d1. wait, and wait... and the target device was gone. Recreate everything again, repeat the test and I get the same results.

[Bacula-users] RE: [Bacula-devel] PyGTK Console: about the tray icon
Are you saying that instead I should write the tray icon to reflect some status rather than problems? ie: showing the number of running jobs. I may nave been confusing the tray icon for the client with a minimized icon/tray icon for operator interface you've been working on -- I occasionally get lost in the terminology, so please bear with me. If we are talking about the operator interface, then yes, I would probably expect to see running job state and error information indicated by flashing that icon somehow (something like a system console where messages are scrolling up as they come in). If you were referring to the client tray icon, then no, just errors or last job information is probably sufficient. One of the things to put on the wish list is a general message (in terms of job log items etc, not the current Bacula definition of message) service. Someday when we all have too much free time...8-) --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!

Re: [Bacula-users] Failed to connect to Client PARANOIA
Try a telnet MACHINE 9102 from your server and a telnet
STORAGE-SERVER 9103 and telnet SERVER 9101 from your client
if you can do these, restart de file daemon on the client.
If telnet not respond, check /etc/host.allow and client iptables.
your bacula-fd.conf on client should have more lines like this:
FileDaemon { # this is me
Name = MACHINE-fd
FDport = 9102 # where we listen for the director
WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/bacula
Pid Directory = /var/run/bacula
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
run a netstat -nlp e check if a 9102 is open.

[Bacula-users] Changes in fileset
Hi, I have changed a fileset and now bacula increases the level of backup from incremental to full. But I did'nt changed the name of the fileset. I just included one more directory to backup. Every time I include or exclude a directory from a fileset it will increase the level of backup? The problem is that I have a cycle backup with a recycling scheme, and when it increase the level unexpectly it mess up all my scheme. Any sugestions? Thanks, Pedro Mazzoni

Exclude {

As you can see the .recycle directories are to be excluded.
Checking the file-list reveals this:
/export/sekretar/.recycle/winword/clients/xxx/ag/
/home/rry/.recycle/useful/
/home/rry/.recycle/zip/
/home/rry/.recycle/pvr/
/home/rry/.recycle/diskette/
/home/ickl/.recycle/backup/cvs/
/home/ickl/.recycle/backup/
/home/bel/.recycle/source/
/home/iora/.recycle/Pics/Rio/
(and lots more of course)
Is it because the directories start with a . ?
I don't think so. More likely it is because a wildcard specification is
anchored at the beginning of a line unless you start it with a asterisk.
When you wilddir, don't forget that what you ar matching against is the
*full* path including a slash at the end.
As an example (if I remove slashes and periods), if you have a file with a
name home-iora-recycle-Pics-Rio in the current directory and you enter:
ls recycle
it is going to print nothing, but if you enter,
ls *recycle
it will print
home-iora-recycle-Pics-Rio
It may also print many other filenames that you do not want to see such as
home-abcrecycle-xxx

[Bacula-users] Bacula version 1.38.5 released
Hello, I have released Bacula 1.38.5 to Source Forge. As usual, the release is the source tar.gz file, the .src.rpm file, and the Fedora FC4 binary rpms (the only system I have for building rpms). The changes are rather minor, but important for affected users: Release 1.38.5 released 19Jan06: - Apply label barcodes fix supplied by Rudolf Cejka. - Modify standard rpm installation to set SD group to disk so that SD will by default have access to tape drives. - Allow users to specify user/group and start options for each daemon in /etc/sysconf/bacula file. As you can see, the only changes are for those of you using label barcodes or those of you installing from rpms, so very few of you will need to upgrade. The source code changes only the Director, so there is no need to upgrade clients, and I am not for the moment releasing a new Win32 binary. Please note that I have not tested the binary rpms, but I hope that changing the Storage daemon to use the disk group with resolve the problem users have had with tape drive permissions (thanks to Martin for pointing out why adding the bacula group to the disk group does not work). -- Best regards, Kern ( /\ V_V --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Can any one give me the list of all the dependency packages for bacula compilation in debian any dependencies should be included in the depkgs and/or already installed by default on debian (mt, mtx, sqlite if you choose to use it, etc). i for one have a very...ah...unique install of debian 3.1, and i didnt need anything else (besides sqlite3, which i compiled from source. its recommended to use mysql though) If any one know the installation guide or tutorial for debian that would be great. read the manual. its pretty much the same as any linux install, the manual describes which arguments you need for the .configure script, and then its basically just make, make install. hope this helps! -- Life is good when the most you have to worry about is whether or not you're wearing pants. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Set the verify job to a lower priority. iii) Start backup and verify jobs at same time with same priority and let the bacula director handle the details...

[Bacula-users] Backup Problem: The number of files mismatch!
I got this message in my logs from the backup run last night:
19-Jan 02:16 what-sd: Volume Monthly-0004 previously written, moving
to end of data.
19-Jan 02:22 what-sd: What.2006-01-19_02.05.01 Error: I canot write on
Volume Monthly-0004 because:
The number of files mismatch! Volume=0 Catalog=112
19-Jan 02:22 what-sd: Marking Volume Monthly-0004 in Error in Catalog.
Monthly-0004 is the tape volume I've been backing up to the last several
days, and I did a successful restore from it yesterday before leaving work.
I verified the lable on the tape with btape and then ran bls to view the
contents of the tape. That worked just fine. Trolling through the
manual I found the bit about using bscan to update the Volume File
Count. I ran
bscan -V Monthly-0004 -v -m /dev/nst1
and got the output listed at the end of this message.
I restarted bacula-dir and bacula-sd, updated the Media entry for
Monthly-0004 to set it to Append status, and tried re-running the
failed job and got the same error message again.
Here is the current Media table entry for Monthly-0004:
+-+--+---+--+--+--+-+--+---+---+-+
| MediaId | VolumeName | VolStatus | VolBytes | VolFiles |
VolRetention | Recycle | Slot | InChanger | MediaType | LastWritten

13:01:44 |
+-+--+---+--+--+--+-+--+---+---+-+
What could be wrong here? Why would bscan see the right data on the
tape, but bacula-sd doesn't? I've not editted the bacula-sd config file
since I did the restore yesterday.

The function 9 executes a SELECT DISTINCT Path.PathId,File.PathId FROM Path LEFT OUTER JOIN File ON (Path.PathId=File.PathId which seems to be too big and mysql processlist tells me that it will copy it to a tmp table. The last time i tried this one was running for 4 days without an end. Well, the bacula db is currently about 3.2 GB in size, where the File table has 2.1 GB size and about 900 MB indices. Interesting. My bacula catalog is not that big, but it's in a database on a rather small server. The last time I did a complete dbcheck it took , as far as i recall, less than three hours. Any other idea how this could be fixed? Well, after learning a bit more about mysql and the functions in there i came to the conclusion, that there is no way out than setting up a clean and new system. The above query from dbcheck cannot come to an end, when one looks at this: mysql explain SELECT DISTINCT Path.PathId,File.PathId FROM Path LEFT OUTER JOIN File ON (Path.PathId=File.PathId); +---+---+---++-+--+--+--+ | table | type | possible_keys | key| key_len | ref | rows | Extra| +---+---+---++-+--+--+--+ | Path | index | NULL | PRIMARY| 4 | NULL | 337827 | Using index; Using temporary | | File | index | NULL | FilenameId | 8 | NULL | 21911576 | Using index | +---+---+---++-+--+--+--+ 2 rows in set (0.01 sec) If i understand that correctly (shame on me but i'm no database guru), this means that mysql has to do a total of 7402321985352 distinctions to solve. This means that the above query runs about 8576 days, given a server that is able to do 10.000 distinctions per second. So, there seems no way in cleaning up my tables and thus i think i start over ... and use postgresql next time ... I'm not sure if PostgreSQL will not suffer from that problem... I guess the problem must be somewhere else. See my mysql aoutput: mysql explain SELECT DISTINCT Path.PathId,File.PathId FROM Path LEFT - OUTER JOIN File ON (Path.PathId=File.PathId); +---+---+---+-+-+-++--+ | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra| +---+---+---+-+-+-++--+ | Path | index | NULL | PRIMARY | 4 | NULL| 123494 | Using index; Using temporary | | File | ref | PathId| PathId | 4 | Path.PathId |108 | Using index | +---+---+---+-+-+-++--+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) Here, mysql would use different indices.

The problem is that bacula needs in our mind a system operator to control bacula and we are our customers operator, but normally they want to change their tapes themselves because every hour we work for them costs money. We think these features should be added to bacula before we can install bacula at our customers and let a normal user change tapes and control the backup. A normal user we think could not work with the bconsole, he just can read emails and change tapes. 1. It should be possible to show the tapes who should go into an fireproof safe or another building with which a complete restore of all data (regardless how much pools or jobs exist). Just the job for a small script which queries the catalog. Hmm either it is not so simple or i know baculas catalog and features not good enough to write such an script. Do you have an example code for this or can give me an hint (maybe a link) to write such a script? Well, I don't have anything rwady-to-use for your needs, but basically you only need to find all volumes from the last full jobs, optionally set the ones in append state to state Used, and have the list of tapes you need to store. I guess I would create a script that unmounts the storage device, moves the tapes to be removed into one magazine, the mail slots, or whatever you have, mails the user/operator to remove these tapes, print a form where they are listed, and wait for some sort of confirmation. After confirmation, trigger an autoloader inventory, do an update slots for Bacula, and mount the drive. More suggestions, details, or a script available on request, but for payment :-) 2. Which tapes should be inserted for the next jobs (maybe the hole week). More difficult, but a reasonable guess is simple. I'd integrate this in the script above :-) I think the best way to realise this is to get a list with all tapes from all pools in the order bacula wants to use them. Now the normal user can choose which tapes he must insert (he will know how much tapes from which pool because we can say it to him or he can read it in our documenation). 3. Automatically cleaning of the tape drive. (after x used tapes, x GB or maybe every saturday) I think this can be scripted and scheduled with an admin job, but we think this should be a function of bacula. If it were, it should be implemented correctly. What I consider correct can be found in the projects file in the Bacula distribution, I guess. I submitted such a suggestion. Another problem we had is the way bacula will check the Volume Use Duration. In our case we change tapes mondays for the differential data backups which run Monday till Friday. We want every day to go on another Volume, so we set Volume Use Duration to 23hours. The Problem is that bacula checks the Volume Use Duration only after a Backup, so we tried to let an admin job which run with that pool set the VolStatus for the used tape to Used, but this wouldnt work. A quick fix will be an job which run on that pool and just backup a small file to close the tape. We think it would be a great feature to choose if the Duration check should be made after, before or after and before the backup. I don't see the problem. After all, you are allowed to remove a volume before it's marked as Used. Yes the Tape can be removed, but the customer wont change tapes every day. I know that removing the tape wont be a problem, but i must be done and this costs time which is the problem. Still, I don't see the problem. You can remotely check if tape change is necessary, or you can even trigger the change remotely. You can also manipulate the catalog to change volume status. And, of course, your customer pays for your time, so they should be interested in having someone on-site who can handle tape changes and restores. At least that's what I strongly recommend... Arno I think this was all... No :) we want to thank everybody who contribute something to bacula for this really great piece of software!

Apart from Florians answer, I'd suggest that you verify how many

Using the llist command on the volumes might show you why they aren't
considered for recycling, too.

I assume that you never had slots where tapes from different pools were loaded, because that's what will break your jobs. The reason is the way the DIR determins which volumes have their InChanger and Slot information reset. The problem comes when there are multiple simultaneous backups congigured and there is contention for different pools on the same drive in the autochanger - it causes the second job to abort instead of queueing. I had no problems with different pools running simultaneously on different drives. The workaround for pool contention is to disable multiple simultaneous backups, which unfortunately defeats the purpose of having multiple drives, but is better than having backups aborting. Quite true. I guess you'll love 1.38.5 ;-) Arno AB -- IT-Service Lehmann[EMAIL PROTECTED] Arno Lehmann http://www.its-lehmann.de --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Hello, On 1/19/2006 3:11 PM, Ralf Gross wrote: ... Determining the right strategy is, obviously, up to you. (You wouldn't be the first to discover that your autochanger doesn't fit your needs, though.) At the moment, tapes are the only way to archive data and put them into a safe here. 200GB+ disk are still more expensive and need more space than tapes. No, I wouldn't recommen to use disks as backup media *shudder*... rather, I suppose you might find that an autoloader with more slots might better suit your needs. Apart from that, I don't exactly understand why you make a distinction between archive and regular jobs. The simplest solution is to keep the full backups as long as you need them, and have the differential and incremental jobs go to pools that cycle more quickly. I want to keep the monthly archive tapes for 2 years. But the regular full backup should be kept only 14 days. I want to change the tapes only one time a month. Thus the regular backup must be overwritten more frequently and I think I have to use 2 different jobs/pools to achieve that. Difficult. You could do this differently, too, but that would require clever scripting (for the retention times etc.) and a rather complicated setup of your schedules. Still I wonder why you need that distinction - I mean, you're doing the full backups anyway, and why not simply remove the volumes for one of the full backups once a month, set their status to Archived, and thus keep things simpler (and needing less autochanger slots)? In that case, you could leave the diff/incr volumes in the changer and only remove the full backup volumes. Hm, you would use 2 separate pools for the full and inrc. volumes, take out the monthly tape and put it in the safe? How can I be sure the monthly tape is not overwritten by a regular job if I forget to take it out? (I'm sure this is covered by the manual...). True. Retention times is the keyword... The focus should be - as mentioned above - to change the archive tapes only once a month. Should be possible... an actual estimate with real numbers and all that stuff would usually be something I get paid for :-) but I suppose you might find that you don't have enough slots: Only talking about server 2. Three tapes per full backup. You keep them for two weeks and need space for the next backup: 9 tapes already. I'm also very unsure about the right settings for retention/prune/purge/recycle. That's something you should look up in the manual, then - I couldn't explain it much differently. Ok. Maybe I'm a just bit to confused at the moment ;) Maybe... start with a simple experimental setup, with a small fileset, disk based volumes, and run your backups multiple times a day. This would allow you to observer the volume management live. That's a good idea. Is it possible to simulate the changer behavior with slots in any way (I guess not)? That's not possible, but you will not need that, too. You can emulate your setup by manually creating the volumes you'd have in the autochanger. These volumes can belong to different pools, and you can limit the size each volume can have. Whenever you get an operator intervention request you know that you'd have to take some tapes and go to the autochanger in real life. Arno Ralf --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

bacula-fd.conf on MACHINE. Also check that the Name in the Director's Client
resource for MACHINE matches the Name in MACHINE's Client resource.

No, I wouldn't recommen to use disks as backup media *shudder*... rather, I suppose you might find that an autoloader with more slots might better suit your needs. You are right, the changer is 6 six years old! Unfortunately the budget situation is a bit tight at the moment. But that's an other story. Apart from that, I don't exactly understand why you make a distinction between archive and regular jobs. The simplest solution is to keep the full backups as long as you need them, and have the differential and incremental jobs go to pools that cycle more quickly. I want to keep the monthly archive tapes for 2 years. But the regular full backup should be kept only 14 days. I want to change the tapes only one time a month. Thus the regular backup must be overwritten more frequently and I think I have to use 2 different jobs/pools to achieve that. Difficult. You could do this differently, too, but that would require clever scripting (for the retention times etc.) and a rather complicated setup of your schedules. I'd like to keep this as simple as possible, because the setup is not for a typical IT department. I'll be the only person that (hopefully) will have detailed knowledge about bacula. Still I wonder why you need that distinction - I mean, you're doing the full backups anyway, and why not simply remove the volumes for one of the full backups once a month, set their status to Archived, and thus keep things simpler (and needing less autochanger slots)? If remove the tapes and put them into a safe - which might be placed at a differnt location - and I need them for a restore I'll lose some time. That was one reason for the 2 differnt jobs/pools. I think I've to take a deeper look at the documentation to get the whole picture, what I can accomplish with bacula. In that case, you could leave the diff/incr volumes in the changer and only remove the full backup volumes. Hm, you would use 2 separate pools for the full and inrc. volumes, take out the monthly tape and put it in the safe? How can I be sure the monthly tape is not overwritten by a regular job if I forget to take it out? (I'm sure this is covered by the manual...). True. Retention times is the keyword... I'm quite sure that I'll have some questions to the retention times in the future (no threat! ;) The focus should be - as mentioned above - to change the archive tapes only once a month. Should be possible... an actual estimate with real numbers and all that stuff would usually be something I get paid for :-) but I suppose you might find that you don't have enough slots: Agreed! Only talking about server 2. Three tapes per full backup. You keep them for two weeks and need space for the next backup: 9 tapes already. Ok, with 12 slots it seems to be the best method to have just 2 jobs for the 2 server and handel the archive tapes as you mentioned above. [snip] Maybe I'm a just bit to confused at the moment ;) Maybe... start with a simple experimental setup, with a small fileset, disk based volumes, and run your backups multiple times a day. This would allow you to observer the volume management live. That's a good idea. Is it possible to simulate the changer behavior with slots in any way (I guess not)? That's not possible, but you will not need that, too. You can emulate your setup by manually creating the volumes you'd have in the autochanger. These volumes can belong to different pools, and you can limit the size each volume can have. Whenever you get an operator intervention request you know that you'd have to take some tapes and go to the autochanger in real life. I'll try that after building 1.38.5 from source.
