Re: [Bacula-users] Recycling and scratch pool

However, at the time of the tape full message the attached messages showed up in the syslog. Unfortunately I am not able to digest them into any correctional activity. But at least I understand that some hardware error may be involved. No, this is most likely NOT a hardware issue; I have this problem reproducable on several systems with different tape drives; it popped up suddenly with a software update, but that's not the only factor that seems to play a role - the same software runs fine on a slow system (old P II 400 MHz box) but fails reliably on a fast machine (Athlon 3000+). I see it with different SCSI controllers, and at least with bacula 1.38.5 and 1.38.6; my latest speculation was that it had something to do with certain (pre 2.6.12) kernel versions, but you mentioned that you're running FC5, i. e. a later kernel, so this does not fit. I have those problems from time to time on a 2.4 kernel too (bacula 1.36.3) Try running a plain kernel.org (i. e. non-FC) kernel - and please report if this changes anything for you.

[Bacula-users] Surprise bug + Scratch pool algorithm
Hello, It seems that it is becoming more frequent (probably because of the increasing number of Bacula users) that users submit support questions to the bugs database. This morning a user submitted a bug stating that the WildFile option was broken. Normally, I would have dismissed this as a support problem because most of us realize that wild-cards and regexes are awfully tricky. However, this user presented a *really* simple case with debug output, so I took a look at it, and surprise both WildFile and RegexFile are broken because they match against the full path and filename rather than just the filename. I wonder how many users have torn out their hair trying to figure out why WildFile or RegexFile didn't work :-( Now, since this involves the FD, I cannot just provide a patch (because building your own Win32 FD is not something I expect you to do), so I'll be making a 1.38.8 release. However, I am thinking about taking another week or two to do this so that I can back port Thorsten's code that allows restoring non-portable Windows backup data to any OS. Thorsten simply took the time and effort to pick apart the Microsoft BackupRead stream data. The downside is that this will delay the Migration code ... For those of you who are for or against the new 1.38.6 code that takes Volumes from the Scratch pool earlier in the algorithm, now is the time to make your case. At this point, unless someone can convince me otherwise (again), I am inclined to put it back to the 1.38.5 behavior (i.e. remove the early Scratch pool selection). -- Best regards, Kern ( /\ V_V --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Re: [Bacula-users] When is a tape Full?
On Sun, 09 Apr 2006 12:16:51 +0200, Erik P. Olsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: I am infrequently getting tape full conditions at times when I did not expect it. My tapes are DDS-4 tapes and they are considered Full by bacula at various capacities, for exampel: 21,112,841,569 6,445,884,582 17,477,850,063 15,855,178,172 After the last volume ran full and mounting of the next empty volume it appended only 3,710,244,549 to it, an amount which I had thought could easily be squeezed into the full volume. I don't understand what triggers the Full condition especially the 6GB volume is wierd since it shouldn't be full before approx. 20GB of data has been written to it. I am trying to optimize the use of the tapes but this process is difficult to carry out when bacula determines the full condition at such different times. Are there anything I can do to ensure that the full condition becomes close to 20GB or do I have to live with this strange phenomenon?

Whether you can add a disk or not depends on the capability of your RAID controller. If you have software RAID solution running there, then there is currently no way to enlarge the array. It needs to be rebuilt from scratch completely. However, Linux Kernel v2.6.17-rc1 together with latest mdadm tools has support for growing software RAID-5 volumes. This schould be considered beta quality! If you attempt doing it, make sure you have a backup ;). Please share your results as I am also interested in this function.

Hi,
Pursuant to a brief discussion I had last week with Mr. Sibbald, please
find attached some diffs showing the implementation of a 'numDaysAgo'
CGI query parameter to allow users to see results in Bacula-Web from
previous days, not just the last 24 hours. Our implementation (and the
attached diffs) is based on the 1.38.0 Bacula-Web codebase. A screenshot
is also attached so you can see what it looks like.
We changed the Bacula-Web status display so that it is not limited to
listing jobs from the previous 24 hours. It can now list jobs for any 24
hour period a specified number of days ago. Likewise, the General Report
graph now shows bytecounts for a 48 hour period starting the specified
number of days ago, instead of just the last 48 hours.
index.php
To begin with, we implemented the recognition of a CGI query parameter
numDaysAgo for the index.php URL. For example:
http://bacula.celcorp.com/index.php?numDaysAgo=2
This would display jobs from 48-72 hours ago. The code in index.php to
read the numDaysAgo parameter:
$numDaysAgo = 0;
if (isset($_GET['numDaysAgo'])) {
$numDaysAgo = $_GET['numDaysAgo'];
}
settype($numDaysAgo, integer);
$smarty-assign('num_days_ago', $numDaysAgo);
settype($numDaysAgo, string);
The next step was to change the 'where' clause of the query that
retrieves the data for the job listing to use the $numDaysAgo variable:
where
UNIX_TIMESTAMP(EndTime) = (UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW()) -
86400*$numDaysAgo)
and
UNIX_TIMESTAMP(EndTime) (UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW()) -
86400*($numDaysAgo+1))
last_run_report.tpl
The status section label was changed in last_run_report.tpl.
index.tpl
The General Report graph is created when index.tpl calls stats.php to
ask it to return the image for the graph. stats.php in turn uses code in
classes.inc to create that image. So we needed to propagate the
numDaysAgo value all the way down this chain. Recall that we created a
template variable num_days_ago in index.php; this is available for use
in index.tpl, so we add it to the URL for calling stats.php:
img src=stats.php?server={$server}tipo_dato=69title={t}
General%20report{/t}modo_graph=barssizex=420
sizey=250MBottom=20legend=1numDaysAgo={$num_days_ago}
stats.php
In stats.php, we now need to read that parameter:
if (isset($_GET['numDaysAgo'])) {
$graph-numDaysAgo = $_GET['numDaysAgo'];
}
classes.inc
$graph is an object of type BCreateGraph found in classes.inc. Of
course, it had no member variable numDaysAgo, so we had to add it:
class BCreateGraph extends BGraph {
var $BD_bacula;
var $izquierda;
var $derecha;
var $StartDate;
var $EndDate;
var $elapsed; // Default elapsed time to show complex graphs
var $numDaysAgo;
function BCreateGraph() {
$this-StartDate = 1900-01-01;
$this-EndDate = 4000-01-01;
$this-elapsed = 86400; // 24 hours in seconds.
$this-numDaysAgo = 0;
}
Finally, we used BCreateGraph.numDaysAgo in the same way as we did in
index.php, in the 'where' clause of the queries to get the data for the
graph:
where
UNIX_TIMESTAMP(EndTime) = (UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW()) -
$this-elapsed*$this-numDaysAgo)
and
UNIX_TIMESTAMP(EndTime) (UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW()) -
$this-elapsed*($this-numDaysAgo+1))
Misc
Please note that, while we did implement the changes for the Postgres as
well as the MySQL versions of the queries, the Postgres versions have
not been tested...
We were too lazy ;^) to implement a form field for users to submit
numDaysAgo values; we just use the browser URL field. Obviously, anyone
could add such a form at anytime.
I was pretty much learning PHP as I went, so please accept my apologies
if I violated any common PHP coding conventions...
So let me know what you think!

[Bacula-users] Excluding wildcard files in a fileset
I'm looking at backing up a bunch of our user's laptops. There's
some pretty decent explanation about how to put together jobs, so
I'm free and clear there.
Where I'm a bit fuzzy is in excluding files. There are a number of
file types that I don't want to waste tape backing up, but are
acceptable for our users to have on their laptops. Files such as
.mp3, for example.
I can't seem to find it documented anywhere, but can I just do:
FileSet{
Name = WindowsHomeDirs
Include{
File = c:\Documents and Settings\
}
Exclude{
File = *.mp3
}
}
Will the wildcard work as one would expect it to? If not, is there
another way to accomplish this?
As a side note, the _ideal_ circumstance would be to exclude files by
mime-type, as this would protect from case-[in]sensitivity issues as
well as poorly renamed files. I don't know how feasible this would
be on non-posix systems that don't have a file command ... ?

That seems desirable, but I don't see this behavior specified anywhere. Please see the Recycle algorithm in the doc. I'm also unclear on whether Bacula currently tracks which volumes are in an autochanger.

I don't use scratch pools at all, currently, but I can't see why I'd want a new volume being added to the pool when I've got one in there that's supposed to be used. Wouldn't that mean that it would ALWAYS choose a scratch volume if there is one available and all of your tapes are full (even if one should be recycled)? In my setup, this would be the case anyway. If I remember the argument correctly, it was: Why overwrite volumes if there are scratch volumes available? That is what scratch volumes are for. Hello, In my opinion, the pools should normally cycle on theirs tapes without adding tapes in a stable situation. The scratch pool should be a security to avoid blocking the backups if one volumetry's job increases suddenly, for example. The second advantage of scratch pool is to reach a stable situation automatically : I create all my pools, I put all the tapes in the scratch pool, and let's run Bacula and see what happen. The pools will pick the tapes until they can cycle respecting the retentions periods, so the different pools should be stable. With the new algorithm, I can't use the scratch pool in any of these ways... So please Kern, put it back to the 1.38.5 behavior !

Yes, my original reaction to the request to change the algorithm was more or less what you write: if you have your retention periods and the number of volumes setup correctly, Bacula shouldn't really need to pull from the scratch pool except when it is going to block. So either I incorrectly implemented what they wanted, or quite possibly they (as I) didn't realize all the ramifications that such a change would have.

Re: [Bacula-users] restoring
I don't know why you are worrying about the got EOF messages. They are quite normal. They are not error messages. Bacula is *very* careful to put the word error in error messages or warning in possible error messages. If neither of those words are in the message, it can be considered an informational message and not normally anything to worry about.

I did not read what you wrote carefully enough. If you are getting that during a restore, there is no problem and my previous comments apply. Since you are getting that during the btape test command as you are, then yes, it indicates that your Device specification in the bacula-sd.conf file does not match your OS and tape drive. You must correct this condition before Bacula will work correctly. The btape tests must run to completion correctly there are some got EOF messages but only 5-10. Perhaps if you send your bacula-sd.conf file to the list, someone can help you debug the problems. It would also be a good idea to send a copy of the output of btape test (of course, truncating any big number of got EOF messages).

Re: Fwd: Re: [Bacula-users] restoring
If you have gotten yourself into a problem with variable/non-variable block sizes, the current online manual gives some tips for getting yourself out of difficulties. Several users have recovered badly configured tapes, but I have never done it myself, so again, maybe the list can help you. If you read the new manual, be aware that a number of things have changed since 1.36.2 (probably a large number) so be careful.

They are quite normal. They are not error messages. Bacula is *very* careful to put the word error in error messages or warning in possible error messages. If neither of those words are in the message, it can be considered an informational message and not normally anything to worry about.

Don't you think that it's strange that bacula can restore from bconsole, and not from manual commands? All but the highest level code that reads a Volume is identical between all Bacula components, so there is unlikely to be any difference between jobs run from bconsole and using the standalone tools. Is it a possible situation with a badly conficured device? Since the code is the same, my answer is: no. Your problem is most likely a bad tape or a dirty drive as I mentioned last time. An I/O error as you got means a hardware problem not a software problem. The manual lists other possibilities. Well, yes, I should probably be more explicit as I don't always distinguish between OS problems and hardware problems. I should have said that this is very unlikely to be an application program (Bacula) error. If there is an I/O error, either the kernel driver is buggy or there is a problem with the hardware (which could also be the firmware in the tape drive). Actually I never happened to encounter this
[Bacula-users] Windows FD and Backup API
Hello, as reported here some time ago, I have problem with the bacula FD in a Win2K domain controller. I get Access is denied errors for files, which are not accessible to the user running the FD-process. As bacula is using the windows backup API, this should work anyway. Now, I created virtual machines for testing purposes and detected, that there is no difference between domain controllers and other windows installation, as I said before. It just happened that I didn't made the testing situation as complicated as it is on the domain controller. Everything works fine, even on a domain controller, if the unaccessible file lies in an accessible directory. Thats the only case I tested up to now. But access denied errors occur, if you have this situation: System: Out of the Box Win2K server installation (SP4) Users: Administrator test Directory structure: folder1 (Accessible for everyone) - file1 (accessible only for test) - subfolder1 (accessible only for test) - subfile1(accessible only for test) In this case, file1 ist backed up correctly as well as subfolder1. An error occurs for subfile1. Accessible only for test means, that user test is the owner of that filesystem object an the only entry in the ACL as well. This seams to be a bug to me rather than a configuration issue, or does anybody have any idea? Thanks in advance Christoph

Re: [Bacula-users] Windows FD and Backup API
Hi Christoph, This has got to be a thorn in your side! Gr. Accessible only for test means, that user test is the owner of that filesystem object an the only entry in the ACL as well. So only the user 'test' has access to this file based on the ACL and no others? Logged in as Administrator, can you navigate, see, open, and save the file in subfolder1 via Windows Explorer? Odd that the ACL allows access all the way to subfolder1 but not subfile1. If all checks out above, seems to me to be a FD issue. Kern released a new build (see prior links below) and may be worth attempting using the latest build.

[Bacula-users] Autochanger device returning tape contents
I'm having a problem whereby the mtx command is opening the
changer device and getting back the contents of the tape. I
repeatedly reproduce this if I do the following:
1. Perform some operation, such as a backup
2. Schedule a job to verify the last catalog backup
3. Schedule a job to perform some other verification job that
uses a different tape
4. Complete the catalog backup verification
5. Bacula calls mtx-changer, which calls mtx, to switch to the
needed tape.
6. mtx-changer fails on the 'loaded' command with
mtx: Request Sense: 70

READ ELEMENT STATUS Command Failed
7. mtx-changer fails on the load command as there is already a
tape loaded.
8. Bacula yells for help.
When I wrap mtx with strace, I see the following:

[Bacula-users] mysql bacula tables
Hello, for a moment i'm writing simple script, which makes for me summary report about last backup process. I want select records directly from database. So i just got a few questions. I want to know where in a database i can find following records: - Rate - Files count (what is the difference between SD and FD files count?) - Bytes Other needed records i found. Or maybe someone can point me to the documentation, where i can find description for each table? Thank You in advice.
