I do understand the concept of an area that is accessible from the outside without opening the library case. Sorry -- terminology thing again. In the very large libraries (the big STK and IBM silos), the operator area is the port where you can load/unload volumes w/o opening the case. It's usually addressed as a range of special slot numbers (in my STK silos, it's slot 9900-9910, in the IBM ones it's slots 1 through 10010) By the way, I don't see any problem for InChanger to have multiple values. Kind of a misleading name, though. It's really a volume state indication -- eg, the volume is mountable or not. In its current usage, I find it to be the best name. It indicates if the volume is in the changer or not. Rough idea I was discussing with Arno on the volume management thing: There's three things we need to know for a classic full volume management lifecycle implementation: 1) the state of a volume (where it is in the volume management cycle) 2) the location of a volume (set of predefined locations) 3) a comment to indicate information that may not be determinable from the media itself (the case of a DR vendor needing a external ID # that is different from the volser of the media is an example where you would need that kind of ability to tag a comment onto a volume record) If we use the cycle that TSM uses (a pretty classic implementation), we get about 7 standard states, only one of which makes sense using InChanger as a variable name (MOUNTABLE, the implication of the current InChanger=1). You've already added the location field as an index to a location table. This is Good. A comment field in the volume record would be a simple text string (60-80 bytes). This shouldn't pose any problems. We redefine InChanger to be VolumeState (or add a VolumeState variable and transiton to it over time). I'm not sure I want to change InChanger. Every change to the database is extremely painful for me, particularly because of SQLite which does not have ALTER TABLE -- it requires hours of work involving minutia. What would the new values for InChanger (or VolumeState) be? -- 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.

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 :-( Are you really sure that is a bug? I think the word filename in the documentation is ambiguous, but when it says No directories will be matched by this directive it does not mean that the matching is performed only on the basename part. The examples in A Windows Example FileSet are also written to assume that WildFile compares the whole name. The current behaviour is very useful because it allows files in selected directories to be matched, without accidentally matching subdirectories (as Wild will do). 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). Yes, that's probably the best thing. There are a couple of unix examples using .journal and .autofsck in the doc that need fixing. __Martin --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

[Bacula-users] restoring windows client with wrong fileset and no compatibilty mode
Hello List,
hopefully asking that someone of you had an idea, so that can get the
data from the tape.
My problem is, that i have the wrong fileset for this win2k3 host.
I didn´t read the manual good enough to know that i should specify
windows filesets with a / instead a \.
Now we had the problem that our server business is lost because of a
hard disk crash.
And with these filesets and job record we are no unable to restore the
data from within bconsole to a unix client because
the unix client didn´t understand the win32 data stream and we are
unable to restore the data to a windows client because
of the \ instead of the /.
Do you think rebuilding the bacula client for windows with the option to
change \ to / is a way to get our data back?
Here are the bacula config directives.
Job {
Name = DATA_business
JobDefs = DefaultJob

Unfortunately, fixing the problem is not so easy. Beginning with version
1.38.8, Bacula will no longer easily accept backslashes in File directives,
which should help in the future to avoid this problem.
One user reported success in restoring such broken backups by building the
Linux version 1.39.x development code (there is no need to actually install
it), then using bextract to extract the files to a Linux system. Note, this
will not work on version 1.38, it requires version 1.39. I would
additionally recommend that you create a .bsr file using the restore command
in 1.38.x and then at the yes/mod/no prompt, copy that file to a safe place
then answer the question with no. You can then use the .bsr file thus
generated to efficiently restore only those files you actually need with the
1.39.x bextract (which knows how to extract Win32 files to Linux/Unix). You
must also use your production bacula-sd.conf with bextract and ensure that
the Storage daemon is not running ...

[Bacula-users] clone only full backups
Title: clone only full backups L.S. We are looking for a solutions to the following problem backup scenario : Our daily backups will be differential and written to harddisk (a 1,5 TB storage device) Our weekly backups will be full and written to harddisk and tape for offsite storage. I know it is possible to clone jobs so I can clone the weekly job Can I define 2 schedules for one backup cycle so my backup looks like something like this : Schedule 1 : run on Monday till Friday and run differential backups to disk Schedule 2 : run on Saturday, Monthly and Yearly and run full backups to disk with a clone job to tape is this possible ?

My suspicion here is that your job retention is much longer than 2 days.
As such the tape will not roll over.
According to the manual, that is not the way things work and the
shortest retention period is used. However, I have found reality in this
instance to be at odds with the manual (putting aside whether or not
keeping jobs longer than the tape is a good idea).

I think there is a typo in the mtx-changer script debug function.
The script fails on the test -e line. On solaris, according to the man
page, test -e is not available in the sh shell.
Here is the output after setting set= -vx in the script.
debug Parms: $ctl $cmd $slot $device $drive
+ debug Parms: /dev/scsi/changer/c2t4d0 list
+ test -e /var/bacula/working/mtx.log

Changing mtx-changer debug function from
debug() {
if test -e $dbgfile; then
echo `date +\%Y%m%d-%H:%M:%S\` $* $dbgfile
fi
}
To
if test -f $dbgfile; then
Allows the script to work on my machine. I looked at the current cvs code -
it has the test -e.
Hope this helps.

On Apr 12, 2006, at 3:42 PM, Ian Levesque wrote: I've been trying to optimize the backup speed of my bacula installation. My full backups, no spooling, max out at around 12-13MB/s per client, where I think I should be seeing over 40MB/s. It doesn't appear to affect the speed of per-client backups when more than one client is running at a time. However, I've noticed that the server's load average while in operation is always above 1, and increases for each client it's backing up. So, if 3 clients are being backed-up, I see load averages of above 3 on the server (though CPU utilization is typically less than 50%). I'm not sure if this is normal, or is in any way affecting the speed I'm seeing... Regardless of figuring our the root cause, can anyone tell me if they're seeing the same loads on their servers? I'd like to rule this out as an issue, if possible. I thought I've seen on this list people reporting loads of less than 1 so I'm a little alarmed by this.

My problem is, that i have the wrong fileset for this win2k3 host. I didn´t read the manual good enough to know that i should specify windows filesets with a / instead a \. Now we had the problem that our server business is lost because of a hard disk crash. And with these filesets and job record we are no unable to restore the data from within bconsole to a unix client because the unix client didn´t understand the win32 data stream and we are unable to restore the data to a windows client because of the \ instead of the /. Do you think rebuilding the bacula client for windows with the option to change \ to / is a way to get our data back? Unfortunately, fixing the problem is not so easy. Beginning with version 1.38.8, Bacula will no longer easily accept backslashes in File directives, which should help in the future to avoid this problem. One user reported success in restoring such broken backups by building the Linux version 1.39.x development code (there is no need to actually install it), then using bextract to extract the files to a Linux system. Note, this will not work on version 1.38, it requires version 1.39. I would additionally recommend that you create a .bsr file using the restore command in 1.38.x and then at the yes/mod/no prompt, copy that file to a safe place then answer the question with no. You can then use the .bsr file thus generated to efficiently restore only those files you actually need with the 1.39.x bextract (which knows how to extract Win32 files to Linux/Unix). You must also use your production bacula-sd.conf with bextract and ensure that the Storage daemon is not running ... Thanks! i will try that an report success... regards, Timo So now i have compiled bacula 1.39.6.

I've only ever seen bacula take advantage of one CPU; typically I see 50% utilized on one CPU. What about the CPU utilization on the client? Around 10% or less, with backups running in the middle of the night. It is useful to check with /usr/bin/top. I have cacti running and it keeps excellent track of resources on the network during backups. But this is easily reproduced if you think I should procure more specific IO stats. OK, it sounds like CPU is not the problem here. Did you try using spooling? Yes, it puts an enormous load on the backup server; I'm not sure why. I do utilize spooling for incrementals, but I expect them to be slower (which they are). Spooling splits the backup into phases of collecting from the client, writing to the tape (repeated) and then writing to the database. It could be worthwhile investigating the spooling slowness to see if it occurs in one particular phase (look at the console output for spooling messages). Without spooling it might be difficult to detect which phase is slow because they are interleaved for each file sent by the client. __Martin --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Hi Joshua,

I'm not quite sure what you mean by The client code is in with the
rest. I couldn't find any 1.36.3 rpm files on the bacula sourceforge
site. The link to the older files seems to be broken. If I can't
find a src rpm I'll just grab the source, but I was hoping I wouldn't
have to go that far. Although, it sounds like it may be easier just
to compile from source since you had spec file problems.
Thanks,
Eric
I found the old sources and RPM's here:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bacula/
But, alas, nothing for CentOS. I downloaded bacula-1.36.3.tar.gz and built
against that.
The odd thing about the Spec file is that it wants, as one of its sources,
Release_Notes-1.36.1-1.tar.gz. I just tar/gzip'ed a release notes file and
it seemed to be happy.
I ran this specfile with:
rpmbuild -bb --define build_centos4 1 --define build_mysql 1 bacula.spec
and all seemed to go well. Like I said, I had to comment out all the
references to building the docs, but when I did that, the RPMs built great.
Hope that helps.

I'm trying to restore some files from a tape backup taken a few months ago. The problem is that the files aren't on the tape. If I use the query command in bconsole to find out which tape has the files, it says the files are on tape GKN079. If I check the last date written field for tape GKN079 it says Dec. 23rd 2005. I can also confirm the files I'm trying to restored when backed up on dec. 18 and dec. 20. Now when I use the bls command to list the different jobs contained on the tape, it stops at a job done on dec. 15. This is the last entry from my bls command: JobId : 9417 VerNum: 11 PoolName : BDDump PoolType : Backup JobName : VMDBDmaitre-BDDump ClientName: vmdbdmaitre-fd Job (unique name) : VMDBDmaitre-BDDump.2005-12-14_20.05.11 FileSet : BDDump-fs JobType : B JobLevel : I JobFiles : 531 JobBytes : 5,129,941,915 StartBlock: 0 EndBlock : 4,463 StartFile : 55 EndFile : 54 JobErrors : 0 JobStatus : T Date written : 15-Dec-2005 08:15 bls: Got EOF at file 61 on device /dev/nst0, Volume GKN079 bls: End of Volume at file 61 on device /dev/nst0, Volume GKN079 bls: End of all volumes. End of physical tape. What I'm wondering is where are the jobs that were done between dec. 15, 2005 and dec. 23, 2005? I've also used the bls command to list the files on tape and the last file on tape dates back to dec. 15. Here's how bls end after listing my files: End Session Record: VolSessionId=153 VolSessionTime=1134158972 JobId=9417 DataLen=209 bls: Got EOF at file 61 on device /dev/nst0, Volume GKN079 bls: End of Volume at file 61 on device /dev/nst0, Volume GKN079 bls: End of all volumes. Unknown Record: VolSessionId=0 VolSessionTime=0 JobId=0 DataLen=0 4417 files found. What does unknown record mean? Whether I look at the logs or on bconsole, no errors ever happened with the backups between dec. 15 and dec. 23. Everything indicates my backups should be on tape GKN079, but I don't see it on the tape. Is the tape dying? BTW I also tried reading the tape on a different drive, and I got the same result. I suggest you post the output of running select * from jobmedia where mediaid=xx; from the bconsole sql command, where xx is the mediaid of GKN079. Also, what is the jobid of the job you are trying to restore? __Martin The jobid of the job in question is 9580. I've attached a file that contains the output from the sql query. The problem starts from jobid 9435. Every jobs after 8435 aren't available. One thing I noticed is that there's no start or end file number 61, it skips from 60 to 62. Could this be causing the problem? Yes, possibly. I can think of three reasons why 61 could be missing now: - There was an error during that job. - There is a bug in bacula that writes junk. - It has been pruned. It is interesting that to see other gaps too, e.g. 39. From the numbering, it looks like 39 might be from job 9410. Did that job run? Yes this job ran with the termination status OK, but there was nothing to backup so it's normal there was nothing on the tape for job 9410. Was the tape in the drive continuously for all of these jobs? If not, maybe the discontinuities occur at the point where the tape was reinserted? I'm using an Autoloader, and the tape is always in the drive. If so, how do I force bextract to skip fileid 61? Given the Unknown Record error, it might not be mpossible. It could be interesting to play with mt and dd to see what happens at various points on the tape. Each file should be readable using dd and the size should be slightly larger than reported in the job output. E.g. (parameters may need adjusting): mt rewind mt fsf 38 dd if=/dev/nsa0 bs=64512 | wc -c # size of file 38 dd if=/dev/nsa0 bs=64512 | wc -c # size of file 39 dd if=/dev/nsa0 bs=64512 | wc -c # size of file 40 mt rewind mt fsf 60 dd if=/dev/nsa0 bs=64512 | wc -c # size of file 60 dd if=/dev/nsa0 bs=64512 | wc -c # size of file 61 dd if=/dev/nsa0 bs=64512 | wc -c # size of file 62 __Martin Size of file 38 is 894523392 Size of file 39 is 64512 Size of file 40 is 105348096 Size of file 60 is 423005184 Size of file 61 is 0 Size of file 62 is 350106624 So what can I do now? I also checked to see file 208 to 213, since these are the files for the job I'm trying to restore.

As Solaris support is vital to me -- and certainly a large percentage of the userbase -- I'd be willing to help in any way that I can. I am not a programmer, and really would be completely unqualified to fix coding problems, but I can do pretty much anything else (and do have some spare hardware to work with -- and, in the case of Solaris 10, might be able to provide a Solaris zone with tape drive access for testing). I don't have a /huge/ amount of time, but probably enough for whatever you'd need. I'm sure delayed is better than not at all.

Why? Because I don't have access to a tape drive for Solaris, and I no longer have the time to devote to testing Solaris prior to each release. For example, the regression script does not complete on version 1.38.8. What does this mean? It means that when Bacula is released it will not be tested on Solaris. It is likely to work, but I cannot guarantee it. It also means that Solaris specific bugs, like the current tape drive bug will be closed unfixed. Possible solutions: The best possible solution is for one or more Solaris users to step forward and to run the regression scripts prior to each release as well as possibly run it in production mode. In addition, we need one or more debuggers to resolve Solaris specific problems. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (MingW32) iD8DBQFEPr13mb+gadEcsb4RArQkAJ9L3pC0VtxLVPVmmzpCCbIezpDn4QCeI/SI I8G0itEk9nHYceqgzrfov3k= =l03/ -END PGP SIGNATURE- --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Also, what is the jobid of the job you are trying to restore? __Martin The jobid of the job in question is 9580. I've attached a file that contains the output from the sql query. The problem starts from jobid 9435. Every jobs after 8435 aren't available. One thing I noticed is that there's no start or end file number 61, it skips from 60 to 62.

I can think of three reasons why 61 could be missing now: - There was an error during that job. - There is a bug in bacula that writes junk. - It has been pruned.

Yes this job ran with the termination status OK, but there was nothing to backup so it's normal there was nothing on the tape for job 9410. OK, perhaps it didn't record this in the database, though your dd output does show a single 64512 byte block at that position on the tape. Was the tape in the drive continuously for all of these jobs? If not, maybe the discontinuities occur at the point where the tape was reinserted? I'm using an Autoloader, and the tape is always in the drive. If so, how do I force bextract to skip fileid 61? Given the Unknown Record error, it might not be mpossible. It could be interesting to play with mt and dd to see what happens at various points on the tape.

[Bacula-users] Migration from SQLite to MySQL.
Hi
All,
I just
migrated from SQLite to MySQL with my Bacula setup. And I thought you might
valuesome end user feedback.Things to note, the docmentation is a
bit deficient (actually missleading) concerning such migrations. It might be a
good Idea to update the Documentation to avoid leading
peopleastray.From the Documentation:
blockquote
You may begin using
Bacula with SQLite then later find that you want to switch to MySQL for any of a
number of reasons: SQLite tends to use more disk than MySQL, SQLite apparently
does not handle database sizes greater than 2GBytes, ... Several users have done
so by first producing an ASCII "dump" of the SQLite database, then creating the
MySQL tables with the create_mysql_tables script that comes with Bacula,
and finally feeding the SQLite dump into MySQL using the -f command line
option to continue past the errors that are generated by the DDL statements that
SQLite's dump creates. Of course, you could edit the dump and remove the
offending statements. Otherwise, MySQL accepts the SQL produced by
SQLite.
/blockquote
Following these directions resulted in a MySQL
database in which PoolId's were incorrect and several other inconsistancies. I
then found the following message in the mailing list
archives.
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bacula.user/2142/match=bacula+sqlite+mysql+script
which had the following script attatched to
it:
shellscript
#! /bin/sh## Convert a Bacula 1.31a
(1.32 should also be ok) Sqlite database to MySQL## The MySQL database
MUST be setup with the proper schema first.## Written by Nic Bellamy
[EMAIL PROTECTED], Sept/Oct
2003.
echo .dump |sqlite bacula.db |awk
'/^INSERT INTO / $3 != "NextId" $3 != "Version" { print $0
}' |sed 's/^INSERT INTO Media /INSERT INTO Media
(MediaId,VolumeName,Slot,PoolId,MediaType,FirstWritten,LastWritten,LabelDate,VolJobs,VolFiles,VolBlocks,VolMounts,VolBytes,VolErrors,VolWrites,VolCapacityBytes,VolStatus,Recycle,VolRetention,VolUseDuration,MaxVolJobs,MaxVolFiles,MaxVolBytes)
/; /INSERT INTO File VALUES\(.*,NULL\)/d' |mysql -f
bacula
/shellscript
This script
did a better job, but failed to insert my volumes properly. The SQL statements
produced where:
INSERT INTO
Media ('Bunch of Field Names') VALUES('Bunch of Values');
The problem
was thatthere weremore values in VALUES('Bunch of
Values') then there were Field Names specified. Deleting the Field
specifications and just doing the following fixed that
problem:
INSERT INTO
Media VALUES('Bunch of Values');
Also Restore
Jobs were not inserted because both the PoolId and the FileSetId were 'NULL' and
they needed to be '0' as the MySQL tables disallowed null values. So the SQL
had
to be edited
to replace the 'NULL' Values.
So clearly
the above script needs some work, but it is servicable, and there should be some
reference to guide people in the documentation.
Cheers,
Silas

For the FreeBSD port, these files are all in the FreeBSD source tree.

FYI: The above files allow a FreeBSD user to download, configure, patch, and install Bacula by issuing make install. This would be the equivalent of installing from source and is referred to as the port or installing the port. To create a binary package one only need issue the command make package. After installation, one cannot differentiate something installed from a port from something installing from the package. They both wind up in the package FreeBSD management system.

[Bacula-users] Storage fallback from Tape to File
[seems like this message never arrived to the list - trying agin] Usually, my backups go to tape but I only have one tape, and the machine is 'resonable remote' and no one is 'babysitting' the site. So, when the tape fills, I usually can't/don't get the opportunity to change tape in a couple of days. In the meantime, I would like Bacula to do the rest of the backup to a FileStorage. Preferably automatically if the correct/requested tape haven't been mounted within x hours... And WHEN the correct/new tape is inserted, I would like all jobs that went to the FileStorage to be _moved_ to tape. -- nuclear Ft.

RE: [Bacula-devel] Re: [Bacula-users] Surprise bug + Scratch pool algorithm
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. An interesting question. Would it be useful to add a MOVE VOLUME command that was aware of the operator area in some of the larger libraries? (Side explanation: on some of the bigger libraries, there is a reserved set of slots that are physically accessible from the outside without opening the library case and forcing a full inventory of the library.) MOVE VOLUME could be coded to know that a certain range of slots represented the operator area, and if a slot in that range was the destination, set InChanger to 0. If an operator slot is the source of a move, then set InChanger to 1. I think this will need to tie into the discussion Arno and I were having wrt to volume management. Up to now, InChanger=1 has implied that the media was available and mountable. I think there's more states than that, and we'll need to be more disciplined about media movement in the future. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

RE: [Bacula-devel] Re: [Bacula-users] Surprise bug + Scratch pool algorithm
Sorry, but I don't understand what a MOVE VOLUME -- or rather what an operator area is. I do understand the concept of an area that is accessible from the outside without opening the library case. Sorry -- terminology thing again. In the very large libraries (the big STK and IBM silos), the operator area is the port where you can load/unload volumes w/o opening the case. It's usually addressed as a range of special slot numbers (in my STK silos, it's slot 9900-9910, in the IBM ones it's slots 1 through 10010) By the way, I don't see any problem for InChanger to have multiple values. Kind of a misleading name, though. It's really a volume state indication -- eg, the volume is mountable or not. Rough idea I was discussing with Arno on the volume management thing: There's three things we need to know for a classic full volume management lifecycle implementation: 1) the state of a volume (where it is in the volume management cycle) 2) the location of a volume (set of predefined locations) 3) a comment to indicate information that may not be determinable from the media itself (the case of a DR vendor needing a external ID # that is different from the volser of the media is an example where you would need that kind of ability to tag a comment onto a volume record) If we use the cycle that TSM uses (a pretty classic implementation), we get about 7 standard states, only one of which makes sense using InChanger as a variable name (MOUNTABLE, the implication of the current InChanger=1). You've already added the location field as an index to a location table. This is Good. A comment field in the volume record would be a simple text string (60-80 bytes). We redefine InChanger to be VolumeState (or add a VolumeState variable and transiton to it over time). -- Best regards, Kern ( /\ V_V ** ACCEPT: CRM114 PASS Markovian Matcher ** CLASSIFY succeeds; success probability: 1. pR: 83.5363 Best match to file #0 (nonspam.css) prob: 1. pR: 83.5363 Total features in input file: 8464 #0 (nonspam.css): features: 4585181, hits: 2781358, prob: 1.00e+00, pR: 83.54 #1 (spam.css): features: 3820341, hits: 2731932, prob: 2.91e-84, pR: - 83.54 --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

RE: [Bacula-devel] Re: [Bacula-users] Surprise bug + Scratch pool algorithm
Kind of a misleading name, though. It's really a volume state indication -- eg, the volume is mountable or not. In its current usage, I find it to be the best name. It indicates if the volume is in the changer or not. It does work, but I think it reflects an assumption born of Bacula's history -- that we're dealing with relatively small libraries that are dedicated for this purpose. As we grow into the enterprise space, it's probably not a good assumption to make long term. For example, one of our 3494s has 15K+ volumes physically present. Not all of those volumes may be available for use -- but they are still physically in the library unit. What would InChanger mean in that situation? It's not critical to the discussion at hand. It's more of a think about this for the future comment. This shouldn't pose any problems. We redefine InChanger to be VolumeState (or add a VolumeState variable and transiton to it over time). I'm not sure I want to change InChanger. Every change to the database is extremely painful for me, particularly because of SQLite which does not have ALTER TABLE -- it requires hours of work involving minutia. grumpy Ugh. Not to be rude, but that sounds like a good reason to just toss it and require a real DBMS for Bacula. In these days of good cheap packaged DBMSes, is it really worth the headache to deal with SQLlite? How tough is 'apt-get install mysql'... pleh. Never mind. Not relevant to this discussion. /grumpy What would the new values for InChanger (or VolumeState) be? Offhand, how about this: 0 Unavailable (for whatever reason: missing, broken, lost) 1 MOUNTABLE (the equivalent of today's InChanger=1) 2 NOTMOUNTABLE (may still be in the changer, but administratively unavailable waiting for pickup) 3 COURIEROUT (picked up by courier and in transit to offsite vault) 4 VAULT (confirmed arrived and checked in at offsite vault) 5 VAULTRETRIEVE (ready/eligible to return from offsite vault) 6 COURIERIN (picked up by courier and in transit back to you) 7 ONSITERETRIEVE (arrived onsite, but not yet checked back into library) States 1-7 are a progressive cycle (eg, 1-2, 2-3, ... 7-1). States 0 and 1 should map directly to the current InChanger usage. The distinction between unavailable and not mountable will be important for copypools -- we need to distinguish between the volume is permanently gone from the volume is not online or directly available. Note that the meaning of the courier states and the vault state (in terms of the location of the vault and the identity of the courier) would be defined separately (vault defined by one of the location values) and we'd need to come up with a way to specify courier information, but I think that falls into the province of the DR manager that Arno's discussed. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

[Bacula-users] Schedule Resource problem
Hi, Our backups are run in 3 phases (7pm, 9pm, and 4am) to allow certain tasks (ie. Windows ntbackup jobs, mysql dumps, etc.) to complete before backing them up. We do differential backups mon-thu, and full backups on Fridays. The first Full backup of the month becomes an archive backup that is kept indefinitely. The problem occurs when the first day of the month is a Saturday (such as this month). Phase 3 of the monthly job will run on the first of the month, and phases 1 and 2 will run the following Friday. Is there any way to make a schedule specification such as 1st fri at 9:00pm + 7 hours ? Or has anyone else resolved this issue differently? Thanks, Brent.

Re: [Bacula-devel] Re: [Bacula-users] Unable to support Solaris
I won't be able to provide a full-time modern tape drive. There's a possibility that I'll be able to scrape something together (might end up being a DDS2 drive though or something like that). My other option is the use of a DAT72 drive, but only at certain times (ie. not between the hours of 04:00 and 08:00 GMT on Tuesday). There's also one spare DLT-8000, but this drive may be needed now and then -- I can likely provide warning ahead of time. Tape heads are something that have been fairly hard to come by. :) I will do my best -- we have been getting a lot out of this product without putting really anything into it.
