Hi there!
I'm currently testdriving Bacula 1.38.7. Three machines are backupping
eachother:
il1 (Windows) - il2
il2 (Linux) - il3
il3 (Linux) - il2
This setup works. Today, I've tried to restore the il3 machine to
/tmp/restoretest. The restoration seems to have worked, but I got 2 errors:
- 15-Apr 14:22 il2-dir: message.c:454 Mail prog: bsmtp: bsmtp.c:85 Fatal
malformed reply from localhost: 552 Error: message too large
(Whatever, this isn't really important, to do later)
- CMD=/sbin/bsmtp -h localhost -f (Bacula) [EMAIL PROTECTED] -s Bacula:
Restore Error of il3-fd Full [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The last message was created because of /sys, which seems to be
backupped. Because of the size being different, Bacula gives an error.
However: /sys should not have been backupped!
You have /sys explicitly in your include list, so I imagine Bacula is going to
back it up.

Hi Kern,

I don't really mind complains, and in fact, my response was a complaint :-)
Bacula works
_Very_ well for me, and I am very grateful for the work that you do. My
intent was to essentially submit bug reports against the docs. Is it the
case that the Scratch Pool just doesn't work in 1.36?
I don't believe the Scratch Pool was implemented in 1.36. There were a few
minor bugs in the first releases of 1.38, but nothing that I remember being a
total show stopper.
If that is the case,
simply modifing the docs as such would clear things up a bit:
There *should* be no mention of the Scratch Pool in the 1.36 document, so this
issue should not come up. I suppose someone could have created a Scratch
pool in 1.36, but other than the fact that things would work a bit
differently in 1.38.x, I don't see any major problem with having a pool with
the name Scratch prior to 1.38, and I don't understand why it would hinder an
upgrade.
ORIGINAL:
H3A NAME=SECTION0001410100
The Scratch Pool/A
/H3
A NAME=6959/A
A NAME=6960/A
In general, you can give your Pools any name you wish, but there is one
important restriction: the Pool named BScratch/B, if it exists behaves
like a scratch pool of Volumes in that when Bacula needs a new Volume for
writing and it cannot find one, it will look in the Scratch pool, and if
it finds an available Volume, it will move it out of the Scratch pool into
the Pool currently being used by the job.

path.

Regaurding my previous email, on the migration from SQLite to MySQL, I
don't have enough knowledge of the intricacies of SQLite or MySQL to
propose a proper migration solution. But I will attempt to put together a
documentation change that will point the reader in the right direction. I
will send this in a seperate email.
I've modified the document in that area simplifying the text letting the user
know that the process is not so simple. The new document should be up
tomorrow.

Hi All,
This is a follow up to my SQLite - MySQL migration Email.
The Scratch Pool has _NEVER_ worked for me, and during the database
migration, I noticed something.
In the Pool Table there is a field called ScratchPoolId, and all of the
records in the table have ScratchPoolId set to 0. What is the purpose of
ScratchPoolId, can I set that to the PoolId value of the Scratch Pool and
make stuff work? Is there any configuration file directives to put into
the Pool resource definitions to tell it which scratch pool to use?
The Docs are again a bit thin here.
The ScratchPoolId is not used, so don't worry about it (at least not yet).
I don't have time to document all the technical details, so the docs are
going to remain very thin in that regard for a long time.
However, in the case where someone has specific knowledge of the
deficiencies of the manual, it would be more useful to complain and at the
same time send me suggested new text rather than throw the work back on me
as is the case 95% of the time.

[Bacula-users] New user questions
Recently the place I work for hired a consultant to help us setup Bacula. He has been most helpfull and we have a basic setup working, but I wanted to start learning it since long term I will have to manage it. Pending boss approval I may still go and pester him some more in the near future. Just a matter of getting approval for the extra $$ :-) So far I have not found the following on the docs: * Difference between Full, Differential, Incremental in Bacula. I know the concepts, what I am interested is how these work in bacula. In particular I did a job/mod and changed a full to differental and then did an estimate. The estimate showed a number very close to what the full backup was. Does the estimate only works for full? Out of nearly 3 million files it's hard to imagine that they all changed since a full backup 2 days ago. :) How does bacula determines what has changed? By date/time/md5? Running bacula in FreeBSD (client/server) * If I made a change to bacula-dir.conf is there a command to check the syntax is correct? The consultant mentioned that if the syntax is wrong that it may kill the bacula-dir (is that usually referred as the server?) And if the bacula-dir did die, will running backups stop? * Does Bacula summits one transaction for each file to PostgreSQL? Any way to pool several files as to have them in a single transaction? --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Out of nearly 3 million files it's hard to imagine that they all changed since a full backup 2 days ago. :) I'd guess that either you've changed something in your filesystem -- touched most of the files, or changed where a large filesystem is mounted -- or that Bacula overrode your request. Even if you specify an incremental, Bacula will perform a full backup if there's no suitable full backup found. This can happen if you change the fileset, if the last full backup didn't complete or was deleted, or under a few other circumstances. How does bacula determines what has changed? By date/time/md5? Running bacula in FreeBSD (client/server) By timestamp -- mtime, if I recall correctly. It's the same for Linux, the BSDs, and any other Unix-like platforms. * If I made a change to bacula-dir.conf is there a command to check the syntax is correct? The consultant mentioned that if the syntax is wrong that it may kill the bacula-dir (is that usually referred as the server?) I've always thought of the server as everything that's not the console or one of the clients: the director, the storage server, and the database. That is, all the stuff needed to service a client. As for testing your configuration, this is taken directly from the Testing your Configuration Files section of the online documentation: You can test if your configuration file is syntactically correct by running the appropriate daemon with the -t option. The daemon will process the configuration file and print any error messages then terminate. For example, assuming you have installed your binaries and configuration files in the same directory. cd installation-directory ./bacula-dir -t -c bacula-dir.conf And if the bacula-dir did die, will running backups stop? Yup. Even if you're sure that your configuration files are correct, I'd be surprised if the Bacula director could survive the type of mid-job restart the you seem to be contemplating. * Does Bacula summits one transaction for each file to PostgreSQL? Any way to pool several files as to have them in a single transaction? I have no idea, nor any reason to care as the database stuff has always just worked.

Francisco, I noticed in your other E-Mail you are using FreeBSD. You can place your Bacula volumes on a encrypted device using the built in capabilities of GEOM. If you already have the system in place and don't have the ability to put the disc devices themselves under GBDE/GELI you can create file backed discs on top of your existing file systems. For example: 1. Create a 100GB sparse file. (Seek is specified in sectors of 512 bytes). dd if=/dev/zero of=/vol/encrypted.disc seek=209715200 count=1 2. Create a key dd if=/dev/random of=/home/bob/encrypted.key bs=64 count=1 3. Attach the file to your system. mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /vol/encrypted.disc 4. Initialise the geli encryption layer. geli init -s 8192 -K /home/bob/encrypted.key /dev/md0 5. Attach the encrypted device. geli attach -k /home/bob/encrypted.key /dev/md0 6. Place a filesystem on the encrypted device newfs /dev/md0.eli 7. mount this mount /dev/md0.eli /mnt/encrypted The key file can be placed on a usb stick.

[Bacula-users] RE: [Bacula-devel] Surprise bug + Scratch pool algorithm
Couldn't you handle both cases transparently. If the pattern has a / in it then pass the full name, otherwise just pass the basename to fnmatch(). That way you get both behaviours without breaking existing examples and configs. Ironically the Windows example FileSet in the manual expects the above behaviour since it has both WildFile = [A-Z]:/WINNT/system32/dhcp/tmp.edb And WildFile = *.tmp -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kern Sibbald Sent: Monday, April 10, 2006 5:09 AM To: Martin Simmons Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bacula-devel] Surprise bug + Scratch pool algorithm On Monday 10 April 2006 13:15, Martin Simmons wrote: On Mon, 10 Apr 2006 12:22:59 +0200, Kern Sibbald [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: 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 :-( 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). -- 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.

Specially that there will be jobs running throughout the night. The encrypted partition will be up at all times most likely so if the machine was compromised the data will be visible anyway. For my home setup this may be great. Thanks much for the instructions. I am famliar with GEOM encryption. I use it on my laptop. Have a /data which holds non secure data and /secure where I put all sensitive data. If you already have the system in place and don't have the ability to put the disc devices themselves under GBDE/GELI you can create file backed discs on top of your existing file systems.

Use estimate level=Incremental Or estimate level=Differential From the manual: Using this command, you can get an idea how many files will be backed up, or if you are unsure about your Include statements in your FileSet, you can test them without doing an actual backup. The default is to assume a Full backup. However, you can override this by specifying a level=Incremental or level=Differential on the command line. A Job name must be specified or you will be prompted for one, and optionally a Client and FileSet may be specified on the command line. It then contacts the client which computes the number of files and bytes that would be backed up. Please note that this is an estimate calculated from the number of blocks in the file rather than by reading the actual bytes.
