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.

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.

RE: [Bacula-users] Bacula version 1.38.6 one Windows 2003
Hi again,
as promised... here are the results of my tests with version 1.38.6-1
of winbacula...
- backup runs fine during the whole weekend (also a full one)
- restore runs fine (tested this one right now).
so, i think you fixed the problems with 1.38.6 (but i think you already
know this as you've released the 1.38.7 :-

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.

[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).

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.

No, but hopefully they will in a future version.

Yes, that is the way it is supposed to work, otherwise, what is the difference
between WildFile and Wild? WildFile should compare only to the filename
(basename), WildDir compares only to directories (it will not compare if the
item is a file), and Wild compares against the full path + filename.

They were probably written by someone who was working around the problem.

Well, WildFile will never match against a directory, either in the old broken
code, or in the current code. In both cases, any directories found are
passed to WildDir, and files and special devices are passed to WildFile.

After a little more thought about this, I'm not so sure I should change the
behavior. It is not what I had originally intended (I didn't program it), but
to change it now, given all the examples in the doc would create a number of
problems.
I think the best solution is to ensure that the documentation is extremely
clear, then if there is really a demand, implement a new option such as
WildFilename that matches against only the filename (basename).

I'd second this. I'd like to be able to leave a number of scratch volumes available without having them put into service when there are other eligible volumes available. On a somewhat related note, I'm not clear on how the tape selection algorithm is altered when an autochanger is available. For example, if there are two equally eligible volumes available, only one of which is in the autochanger, would this volume be preferred? That seems desirable, but I don't see this behavior specified anywhere. I'm also unclear on whether Bacula currently tracks which volumes are in an autochanger. Right now, I have two volumes that are both recorded in the database as "InChanger = 1" and "Slot = 4", but it's not obvious which tape is actually in the changer. -- John Kodis. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

[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 ... ?

The Volume tracking is more or less manual using "update slots" or "update
slots scan"

If I remember the argument correctly, it was: "Why overwrite volumes if there
are scratch volumes available? That is what scratch volumes are for."

The source code for bacula-web is in the CVS under the module name "gui".
However, the new code was sent to the devel list as diff files and is not yet
applied.
Juan Luis didn't seem to get the code, so I will send him the attachments. If
anyone else did not get them and would like to look at it or apply it
themselves, let me know and I'll copy you too.
There was also a nice screen shot included.

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.
If there are still any users that want to keep the current behavior, you
should speak up now ...

Re: [Bacula-users] restoring

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.

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.

Sorry, my error. 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). By the way, Bacula 1.36.2 is quite old and no longer "officially" supported ... > And I'm worrying because > in the pdf document, you state that if you get this output, it's probably > because of the variable / fixed-size block setting, and that I should fix > it.

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.

[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.

Re: Compilation errors on Macintosh (was [Bacula-users] Bacula FD on Macintosh)
I really can't say enough good things about Darwin Ports. I had my bacula daemon up and running in under an hour, and most of that time was spent compiling it. http://bacula.darwinports.com/ has the basics on getting it and installing it. I'm trying to find the site I used that had almost step-by-step instructions on getting it going.

Do you recommend that I use h/w? H/w compression on DDS-4 is a bit feeble, so it may be better to stick to s/w compression if you have spare CPU cycles on the fd. That's the reason I asked, because the h/w compressed size can sometimes be larger than the uncompressed size, especially if you have both kinds of compression switched on! __Martin --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

[Bacula-users] Error - The number of files mismatch
Hi,I am a newcomer to using bacula, and am being stung by what must be pretty obvious to veterans. I have read the manual cover to cover in search of answers, but cant seem to figure this out.I am consistently having tapes marked with an error as follows: 11-Apr 08:23 foundry-sd: Volume "Daily01" previously written, moving to end of data.11-Apr 08:23 foundry-sd: NightlySaveFoundry.2006-04-11_03.05.00 Error: I canot write on Volume "Daily01" because: The number of files mismatch! Volume=27 Catalog=2811-Apr 08:23 foundry-sd: Marking Volume "Daily01" in Error in Catalog.11-Apr 08:25 foundry-dir: Recycled volume "Daily03"What causes this kind of off by one error? And how can I completely "reset" the state of a particular volume to empty to start again? Thanks,bradley
[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

7. mtx-changer fails on the load command as there is already a

Re: [Bacula-users] Error - The number of files mismatch
Hello,http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Bacula_Freque_Asked_Questi.html#SECTION000348000 mt -f /dev/st0 rewindmt -f /dev/st0 weofIt will reset the tape. "mt -f /dev/st0 erase" will actually erase them (writing 0s I think) but it will take longer that just writing weof at the beginning of the tape. As for file number mismatch, have you read --http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Tips_Suggestions.html#SECTION000357000 JoeOn 4/10/06, Bradley Schatz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi,I am a newcomer to using bacula, and am being stung by what must be pretty obvious to veterans. I have read the manual cover to cover in search of answers, but cant seem to figure this out. I am consistently having tapes marked with an error as follows: 11-Apr 08:23 foundry-sd: Volume "Daily01" previously written, moving to end of data.11-Apr 08:23 foundry-sd: NightlySaveFoundry.2006-04-11_03.05.00 Error: I canot write on Volume "Daily01" because: The number of files mismatch!

And how can I completely "reset" the state of a particular volume to empty to start again? Thanks,bradley
[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.
