[Bacula-users] restoring windows fils from a fileset with backslash
Hi all I have quite a big problem restoring a windows fileset, I can't traverse the filetree bacula builds but when I search for the file I want to restore I can find it. It seems like my problem comes from my fileset definition where I have used a backslash instead of a front slash. how can I restore the file ? can I just fit the fileset definition and then restore the file ? please help Best regards René --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Quite possible... how can I restore the file ? can I just fit the fileset definition and then restore the file ? Well, I'd recommend correcting the file set as soon as possible, but that will _not_ fix existing backups. For your current problem, you could try to locate the file in question in the catalog database and manually create a bootstrap file for it. I never tried this, but I'm quite sure that it should be possible and, in case that file is really important, it's definitely worh the effort. You could also try to use bextract to dump a whole tapes contents to a local disk, I think.

Hello, I will probably be releasing Bacula version 1.38.6 this weekend. If any of you are using 1.38.6-beta6, I would recommend that you apply the attached patch, which corrects a mutex initialization bug. This bug probably only affects *BSD users.

Re: [Bacula-users] Potential concerns about Bacula
Hello, On 3/21/2006 9:39 PM, John Goerzen wrote: Hello, I have been using Amanda for backup for quite a few years now. I'm interested in Bacula and have read through most of the (large!) manual. Bacula looks like a nice piece of software, but there are several things that concern me about it. 1) In the manual, it states that if you move files into an existing directory or move a while directory into the backup fileset after a Full backup, those files will probably not be backed up by an Incremental. That's concerning to me and seems a huge hole -- files are moved or renamed all the time in our environment, and we would want them to still be backed up. Some other places in the manual, it suggests to copy instead of move/rename directories. But with a user base of several hundred people, some of which aren't all that computer-savvy, that is almost impossible. In the Win32 area, it had another warning about the same problem, with no apparent workaround other than to copy it. Again, a serious problem. It seems that, as a temporary solution anyway, it would be easy enough to just treat files inside moved/renamed directories as new and back them up. The temporary solution you suggest is part of what would be needed to implement a final soultion :-) The problem there is not a conceptual one, it's rather that nobody implemented it yet. As you note, all the necessary data is available, it's only necessary to modify the FD to check each file against the catalog database, and for that purpose, I think, the DIR-FD-protocol needs to be modified. I think this is a rather large project. 2) I'm concerned that incremental and differential backups don't notice deleted files. When we restore from that, we could wind up with thousands of deleted or renamed files -- *not* an exact image of the system as of the last backup. That also is a large problem. See above... 3) We perform backups overnight, when no operators are here, so as to minimize performance impact on our users. We have enough data that it is not possible to fit a full backup of every filesystem onto a single tape. However, it is possible to stagger the full backups so that we guarantee each filesystem is backed up with a full backup once every three days. Amanda will automatically handle that staggering for us. Can Bacula? Not automatically. Instead, Bacula can use spooling, it can use autochangers, and it allows you to set up schedules as you want them. In the future, Bacula will allow job migration, opening up the whole new world of D2D2T backups. 4) Amanda has a nice degraded mode. If the tape drive is offline, or there is no tape in the drive, or the tape in the drive is not suitable for backup, Amanda will run all incremental backups and store them to disk. The next morning when the operators arrive, they can correct the problem and run amflush to move the data out to tape. I notice that Bacula has the ability to spool data to disk, but it doesn't appear to be able to do that in a nice fashion in the presence of a tape error. Correct? Depends. Usually, tape errors result in the request for a new tape, and won't break running jobs. Once all data is spooled, it will wait until a usable tape is mounted and then continue despooling. 5) More generally, I am concerned about this notion of continuing to append to a tape until it is full. We would not know in advance when a tape will fill up. Simply waiting for the operator to swap tapes, and then continuing with the backup, is not a workable solution for performance reasons since we can't run backups during the day. We would be left with missing a night's backup. Is there any better way we could use Bacula's nifty append features in our setup? Well, there are quite a number of ways to automatically mark a tape as Used, i.e. no longer appendable. Which one you chose depends on your needs. 6) And even more generally, are people actually using Bacula in medium to large organizations? There are setups I consider large. I know of some multi-TB setups, and I think you can find reports in the mailing lists about the problems native with such setups, like backup runs that take days and catalogs that grow beyond what the database handles without tweaking. Reading about how the author's test network is using token ring, how some sites only have to swap tapes once a month, and how many are able to keep using the same tape day after day makes me think that Bacula may not really be suited for a situation in which we store terabytes of information and back up dozens of machines. Is that an incorrect assumption? I'd say so... swapping tapes only once a month or reusing the same tape over and over should, IMO, only be mentioned in the section Things to avoid if you want a Backup :-) Arno Thanks for all your work on Bacula and its manual. -- John Goerzen --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a

I think there's no such option as you need. But I think having the option to change the comprosseion option during job setup would be a good enhancement for the python interface.

Re: [Bacula-users] Potential concerns about Bacula
That is correct. This feature is being worked on but for now, Bacula restores ALL files, including deleted and renamed ones. Most backup software works this way. 3) We perform backups overnight, when no operators are here, so as to minimize performance impact on our users. We have enough data that it is not possible to fit a full backup of every filesystem onto a single tape. Can't you afford an autochanger? If not, it is not difficult to write definition files to stage full backups for different machines through the week. 6) And even more generally, are people actually using Bacula in medium to large organizations? Reading about how the author's test network is using token ring, how some sites only have to swap tapes once a month, and how many are able to keep using the same tape day after day makes me think that Bacula may not really be suited for a situation in which we store terabytes of information and back up dozens of machines. Is that an incorrect assumption? That is an incorrect assumption. I've read testimonials of people backing up multiple TBs with Bacula on the list here. Case in point - my setup is currently backing up approx 20TB of storage (SAN attached), along with a dozen smaller standalone machines (ethernet). This is being done using a Neo 4020 60 slot/2 drive LTO2 library (OEMed with a HP badge) Other admins have reported backing up even larger amounts of data and using even larger libraries. For the standalone machines, we cycle the tapes every 3 months in a GFS+1 pattern - 200GB LTO2 tapes last about a week and are forcibly closed if not full at the end of 7 days. There are _always_ at least 3 complete backup cycles in the data safe (Site policy is that standalone machines are regarded as disposable and all data is carried on the SAN. These backups are primarily for fast recovery of OSes.) Personally, I cannot understand people in a business environment reusing the same tape or tapes every other day, from the point of view of both real disaster recovery (tapes which are not in data safes, or offsite burn just as easily as the rest of the computing equipment) and archival file recovery. My favourite example of the necessity of keeping archive data is the telco which turned out to have been backing up corrupt configuration data and had to go back 9 MONTHS in order to find a valid initial configuration which could be used as a start point (end result - telephone service completely unavailable over a 3 day period for more than 200,000 people, plus 6 weeks of disruptions as changelogs were spooled back into the switching equipment) Of course, most large organizations will rather pay for commercial software (read Data Protector, Netbackup or TSM) than try open source software, but in theory, Bacula should work for them too. Just a few examples: Bacula's featureset far exceeds that of many commercial packages, including more than a few which end up costing tens of thousands of dollars/euro in a large setup. By far the biggest set of postings on this list revolves around fileset definition questions, which is understandable given the complexity of the questions. In larger backup sets the issues become less complex as it tends to simply become backup everything The second most common set of queries revolves around people trying to provide reliable backups with inadequate amounts of hardware, requiring more operator intervention. (These days actual compilations questions are rare, thanks to the widespread (and very welcome) availability of precompiled packages) Quite simply: In a professional environment, if your full overnight backups do not fit on a single tape then you either need an adequately sized changer or larger tapes. Simple economic calculations will show that staff costs will easily exceed that of adequate hardware in short order when intervention is continuously required. That does not apply for hobbyist environments: At home I use a DAT drive, am prepared to change tapes as required and am also aware of the inherent unreliability of the medium - I'm also quite ruthless about discarding tapes which generate errors. If I didn't have a DAT, I'd probably be using several USB external disk drives, in order to be able to keep at least one full backup offsite (and will likely go that way when the DAT drive finally dies) Bacula itself is very much set-and-forget for most people and a setup which requires continual operator intervention is likely poorly thought out in the first place.

I restarted DIR and SD after configuring it and deleted the volumes with

Re: [Bacula-users] Re: Announcing Bacuview-1.3, now with MySQL support
Thanks for the report Mark. I'm glad to hear that Bacuview is working well for you in a production installation, particularly since I don't use MySQL in production, and so have only a small dummy MySQL database to test against here. Since Fedora Core 5 was released a couple days ago, I'll go through a complete installation of Bacuview on that platform, and insure that I've addressed the rough spots in the installation instructions that you've reported. I've had other requests for some type of query by filename feature. I'll probably put this in place in the not-too-distant future, but I have a few other query clean-ups in mind that I'd like to get to first. As for extending this into a complete front-end for the restoration process, at this point I'd prefer to stick with query and reporting functions, and as you suggest, let bconsole and friends handle the restores (but then, prior to a few months ago, I had no idea that I'd be developing an application like Bacuview to begin with, so you never know!) -- John Kodis.

In addition to the usual minor bug fixes, this release has one fairly major improvement: It now supports Bacula installations that use MySQL as their database engine. All that's needed to support a MySQL database is to set the adapter to mysql in the config/database.yml file. Bacuview picks this up and performs behind-the-scenes magic to deal with the naming differences between Postgres and MySQL databases. I'd be happy to answer any questions that you have, and to hear of any suggestions that you have for this project. I hope that you find it useful. Thank you for this. I installed it yesterday from scratch. Here are some suggestions for the INSTALL page. RUBY In this section you should also describe installation of IRB. I don't know if this gets installed as part of building ruby from source, but in Fedora Core 4 it is a separate rpm package and you need yum install irb. I don't know if it was necessary, but I also installed the rpms for ruby-devel and ruby-mysql. GEM INSTALL --- For mysql users you can skip the gem install postgres and instead do gem install mysql. If that fails (it did for me) you can try gem install mysql --with-mysql-config=/usr/lib/mysql/mysql_config or something similar. Frankly, I tried so many things that I'm not sure what finally worked. Is there any chance this program could be extended to allow file searches within the database? I'd love to be able to enter a partial name of a file and get back a list of all occurrences of that name along with the file dates and the jobs that contain it. Then I could go to bconsole and jump right to the correct job for restoration. Ultimately, could it be a complete front end for file restoration?

Hi Kern, Thanks for taking the time to reply personally and for all your work on Bacula. Also, I've got to say that we've all decided that Bacula has the best slogan of any backup program we've ever seen ;-) Unless I am mistaken, Amanda mostly uses certain Unix programs like tar for backing up and restoring data. If that is the case, then it (Amanda) suffers from exactly the same problem -- in fact a large number of problems such as Bacula base backups on the date/time stamps, which is the origin of the problem. I have only ever used Amanda with the tar backend (never dump), so I can only speak to that. Amanda's tar backend works exclusively with, and requires, GNU tar. Amanda uses GNU tar's listed incremental mode. See http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/Incremental-Dumps.html for details. In short, tar notes every file's name, inode number, and [cm]time in a separate file when performing the full backup. When performing incremental backups, it compares the state of the filesystem to the recorded state and does what it needs to to update the state. It also puts a list of all files in each backed up directory into the archive with every operation. When extracting an incremental archive, when using -G (which amanda can), tar will actually delete files from the host filesystem that weren't present at the time of the backup. So, this solves both the problem of leaving deleted files around and the problem of not noticing renamed/moved files. Since Bacula appears to already have essentially that information in its Catalog, it seems that it already has the tools to accomplish the same thing. Thanks for filling me in on the ins and outs of GNU tar. Hopefully, the Bacula project to resolve these problems will pop to the top of the list of the list soon -- it is project #3 the highest priority project that is not yet started (#1 is essentially complete, and #2 is about 50-80% complete). Reading about how the author's test network is using token ring, I don't know where this quote came from, but I don't have a token ring, and I have never had one.

This feature is being worked on but for now, Bacula restores ALL files, including deleted and renamed ones. Most backup software works this way. Then most backup software is broken. Perhaps Bacula can be better. Usually that software is designed with the recovery of 'as much as possible data' in mind, not with the 'recover the state of date X'. It works for most people (I'd rather have too much restored than not enough). That said, the feature is on the 'todo list' for Bacula (as Kern already mentioned) 3) We perform backups overnight, when no operators are here, so as to minimize performance impact on our users. We have enough data that it is not possible to fit a full backup of every filesystem onto a single tape. Can't you afford an autochanger? Well, it hasn't been necessary since Amanda can schedule everything nicely for us. It's beginning to sound like if we want to use Bacula, we'd have to do a full backup every night. I'll have to look into it some more, I suppose. Again: Bacula will not try to avoid tape mounts. Apart from AMANDA, I know of no backup system that does (and AFAIK AMANDA does it because it can't, or at least couldn't in the past, span backups accross multiple tapes). You can manually tell the system when to do full backups for what, but you still risk exceeding the size of a tape (if the volume grows too much). The only way to be 100% sure that you won't need to manually mount a tape is to: - - stay with AMANDA (which obviously does it very well for you) - - throw hardware at the problem (huge tapes that you'll never manage to fill with a single full backup, or an autochanger) Quite simply: In a professional environment, if your full overnight backups do not fit on a single tape then you either need an adequately sized changer or larger tapes. Simple economic calculations will show that staff costs will easily exceed that of adequate hardware in short order when intervention is continuously required. Now in your environment, though, you were not worrying about offsite backups and also were using a single tape for a whole week. I'm a little confused about what you're suggesting here. That always depends on the environment. For example, in mine I do the backups during the day (so that somebody IS on site to change the tape when Bacula requests it). This is bound to change (we just received our first Autochanger, I still have to unpack and install it) and then backups will be moved to the night (with tape moves being done independently during the day). At our site, our policy has been to, each morning, take the most recent backup tapes offsite. Offsite means a waterproof, fireproof safe deposit box in a bank's vault. That way, if disaster should strike, our most recent backup would be available offsite. In the other envirnment that I have (separate company which doesn't use Bacula), we have that too only that our backups run on a fixed schedule and span tapes (the bot just ejects the ones that should leave and operators take them away to the vault and feed the bot with the ones that come back from it). Having an autochanger and your full backups span more than one tape does not prevent a DR setup where tapes go off-site. Bacula itself is very much set-and-forget for most people and a setup which requires continual operator intervention is likely poorly thought out in the first place. Depends: If you do off-site vaulting, you need continual operator intervention to cycle the tapes, but that happens independantly of the backups (ie not while they're running).

[Bacula-users] Debian Sarge - Bacula configuration
Hi guys, I'd love to ask a few questions if I may :-) I'm quite new to Bacula and tried to set it up on a test server using Debian Sarge (stable). I got some understanding problems though, and I hope you can help me with my "brainfarts". Okay first of all, let me sum up the facts again. On the server side There is a director (may be more then one) -Bacula-dir.conf There is a storage (same here)-Bacula-sd.conf There is a database - It's a postgres DBin Debian (AFAIK mentioned/configured in bacula-dir.conf) On the client side There is a file deamon - Bacula-fd.conf I have setup 2 PCs here im my lab and I'm trying to get it started. What I'd like to do is "just simply" do a complete backup from my host to the server. The server (in this scenario) should be running allserver daemons/parts, so to speak director, storage and database (all in one). The client should be backed up completly and in addition to that I'd like (to try) to be able to install the client from bare metal with the floppy discs (talking about desaster recovery). After I've achieved that, I'd like to use SSL (I found a HowTo that covers that quite okay). But I alreadystumble over the main config files. I've read the documentation (apt-get bacula-doc) quite a few timesand found out that there need to be crossreferences, which I don't quite get yet. I hope I can get some clarification from you guys (would be awesome). I'm totally new to this topic and I' having a hard time with the comments, I don't find them very usefull. Questions: 1. The easy way. Is there someone out there usinf Debianwho'd be willing to share his experience with me in form of a set of working configs with documentations. OR do you know a place where I can find a step by step Howto to get at least the main feature up and running. The only useful infos I've found where those. http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2004/01/09/bacula.html(unfortunately this ones for BSD, but the command lines in the config file look about the same), I tried it and failed miserably. The director won't even start up. There was nothing written into the syslog file while tailing it :-/ Bad luck. About the secure connection I found this http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Bacula_TLS.html#_ChapterStart61if someone is interessted in it? I restored the old files then (in the config files it reads that you only would've to setup a Fileset and it should work on the spot). But, aiks, it won't do either the director deamon won't start up. D*mned! 2. The hard way. If 1. won't work may I post the original config files here with my/more questions? Would that be okay? 3. FQDN - is this really necessary or is it also possible to use the IP address. I tried both :-/ I'm sorry for not being more precise at the moment, hope I don't get flamed for it. I'd be willing to do a HowTo if someone helps me out, so that next time you could direct Debian User to the docu I made. I'll have to do it anyhow for my preoject here:-) so why not translate it into English, no problemo Sir. Thanks in advance for your response, Simmel or Jens
[Bacula-users] Re: Potential concerns about Bacula
Hi John, From my point of view your issue nº2 is an enhacement. I generally need to restore deleted files by a user like doc's, cad files or image files. (as i understand) John Goerzen wrote: Hello, I have been using Amanda for backup for quite a few years now. I'm interested in Bacula and have read through most of the (large!) manual. Bacula looks like a nice piece of software, but there are several things that concern me about it. 1) In the manual, it states that if you move files into an existing directory or move a while directory into the backup fileset after a Full backup, those files will probably not be backed up by an Incremental. That's concerning to me and seems a huge hole -- files are moved or renamed all the time in our environment, and we would want them to still be backed up. Some other places in the manual, it suggests to copy instead of move/rename directories. But with a user base of several hundred people, some of which aren't all that computer-savvy, that is almost impossible. In the Win32 area, it had another warning about the same problem, with no apparent workaround other than to copy it. Again, a serious problem. It seems that, as a temporary solution anyway, it would be easy enough to just treat files inside moved/renamed directories as new and back them up. 2) I'm concerned that incremental and differential backups don't notice deleted files. When we restore from that, we could wind up with thousands of deleted or renamed files -- *not* an exact image of the system as of the last backup. That also is a large problem. 3) We perform backups overnight, when no operators are here, so as to minimize performance impact on our users. We have enough data that it is not possible to fit a full backup of every filesystem onto a single tape. However, it is possible to stagger the full backups so that we guarantee each filesystem is backed up with a full backup once every three days. Amanda will automatically handle that staggering for us. Can Bacula? 4) Amanda has a nice degraded mode. If the tape drive is offline, or there is no tape in the drive, or the tape in the drive is not suitable for backup, Amanda will run all incremental backups and store them to disk. The next morning when the operators arrive, they can correct the problem and run amflush to move the data out to tape. I notice that Bacula has the ability to spool data to disk, but it doesn't appear to be able to do that in a nice fashion in the presence of a tape error. Correct? 5) More generally, I am concerned about this notion of continuing to append to a tape until it is full. We would not know in advance when a tape will fill up. Simply waiting for the operator to swap tapes, and then continuing with the backup, is not a workable solution for performance reasons since we can't run backups during the day. We would be left with missing a night's backup. Is there any better way we could use Bacula's nifty append features in our setup? 6) And even more generally, are people actually using Bacula in medium to large organizations? Reading about how the author's test network is using token ring, how some sites only have to swap tapes once a month, and how many are able to keep using the same tape day after day makes me think that Bacula may not really be suited for a situation in which we store terabytes of information and back up dozens of machines. Is that an incorrect assumption?

If you can't start the DIR with the sample configuration, just work through the manual. To start the DIR, you need nly a limited set of configuration sections: Director, Messages, Catalog and probably Pool. I feel that the sample configuration with a very limited number of changes should be sufficient to start the DIR with a configuration tailored to your sites needs.

[Bacula-users] Re: no diference between full and inc backup, i'm lost....[solved]
Some one has send me a mail telling that bacula only supports datetime encoding
in US format
i've changed this parameter in the postgresql.conf and bacula is running right!!
Will this be solved in futures versions? Because i don't want to have 1
postgresql server
running only for bacula, and another for my apps.
I'll take a look into the postgresql doc to see if a can set this only for 1 DB.
Thk's a lot to the list.

I hope there is some PostgreSQL solution for this, because it is *extremely*
unlikely that I will add any code to Bacula that tries to interpret foreign
language date formats.
Because i don't want to have 1
postgresql server running only for bacula, and another for my apps.
I'll take a look into the postgresql doc to see if a can set this only for

[Bacula-users] Grrr,
So, installed bacula again, using debian sarge packages. All configured ok, but I'm having some problems with the Autochanger. Using the latest debian sarge packages and a Dell PowerVault 132T That's part of the output when I issue label barcodes: -- snip -- Sending label command for Volume 01 Slot 1 ... 3301 Issuing autochanger loaded drive 0 command. 3302 Autochanger loaded drive 0, result: nothing loaded. 3304 Issuing autochanger load slot 1, drive 0 command. 3992 Bad autochanger load slot 1, drive 0: ERR=Child died from signal 15: Termination. Label command failed for Volume 01. Sending label command for Volume 02 Slot 2 ... 3301 Issuing autochanger loaded drive 0 command. 3991 Bad autochanger loaded drive 0 command: ERR=Child died from signal 15: Termination. 3304 Issuing autochanger load slot 2, drive 0 command. 3992 Bad autochanger load slot 2, drive 0: ERR=Child died from signal 15: Termination. Label command failed for Volume 02. -- snip -- I can use mtx-changer on the command line and it works ok, tried with bacula-sd running as 'bacula' and 'root' and even in debug mode. Looks like btimers.c gives a KILL on somehting, but I'm not that good on debugging...

[Bacula-users] Disabling Client
From looking at the Docs, and through the archives I think I can
disable a client's backup by commenting out the Schedule line like this:
Job {
Name = frodo
Type = Backup
Level = incremental
Client = frodo
FileSet = windows
Storage = tape0
# Schedule = WeeklyCycle-FRODO
Pool = Default
Messages = Standard
}
Am I wrong, or perhaps am I supposed to doing something else in addition
to this? I'd like to disable this client while I re-build it as a Linux
system. The client continues to be backed up, and I'm afraid that if I
proceed with the upgrade, all of my other systems will be delayed in
backing up.

Re: [Bacula-users] Disabling Client
Never mind. My bad. When I upgraded, I installed into a new version
specific directory. The original person who installed bacula used / as
the install prefix, so out of habit, I went to /etc/bacula/ to make the
config edits, rather than the version specific directory where I had
moved the con figs and updated them.
Apologies all.

[Bacula-users] Defining a FileSet
Hello
I have problem with defining a FileSet. Let's say I want to backup just
one directory for every user in the machine. It's c:/Documents and
Settings/*/My Documents where * indicates the user name. As I
understand I have to use Options where Exclude expression is set to
yes and exclude all other directories except My Documents. I thought
that RegexDir = ^c:/Documents and Settings/*/[^(My Documents)] will
do, but using Regex expression gave me an error message that Regex is
not available in the system.
Any tips, how to solve missing regex problem or maybe I even don't need
it and there are another way to solve my FileSet problem?
Version of my bacula director - Version: 1.36.2 (28 February 2005)
Include{
Options{
RegexDir = ^c:/Documents and Settings/*/[^(My Documents)]
Exclude = yes
}
File = c:/Documents and Settings/
}

Looks like btimers.c gives a KILL on somehting, but I'm not that good on debugging... It might be a timeout. Can you post the debug output? In addition to that: How does your Autochanger Device look in your configuration? You could try what's mentioned in this posting (found on gmane while searching for Child died from signal 15: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.bacula.general/19533 Maybe it applies to you.
