In my case it turned out to be a network problem... It has now finished. It turned out that I had missed to set the compress directive so it didn't break just in the end as I thought.

Possibilities are: Your OS does not have ACLs. You are trying to restore ACLs to a different filesystem type. ACL support was not configured into the FD. Your OS is not one of the ones supported. The ACL type is different from those that Bacula supports. You don't have proper permissions to write the ACLs. You changed ACL versions between the backup and the restore.

Re: [Bacula-users] [Bacula-devel] Expanding the Job database table entry + manual license
On May 27, 2006, at 3:31 AM, Kern Sibbald wrote: Hello, I've been running two Bacula issues over in my head for awhile now, and though I have worked out solutions, I thought I would should throw them out for your consideration and input: 1. To make migration (and later copy) work correctly, after a migration job has run (moved data from one pool to another), it is inserted in the catalog with the time and date of the original job. If I didn't do this, a restore would not be possible since the restore is based on job level and the time the job ran. However, to do automatic migration it is necessary to know when the job *really* ran so that it can be moved to another pool after a specified period, if the user configures this feature. So, additional information must be kept in the catalog. For the moment, this info is kept in a separate table. However, I am not very happy with this for performance reasons -- most all SQL commands will either need to be modified or have a second command that checks if this information is available. My solution (not yet implemented) is to eliminate the extra table and add the necessary data (several time values and possibly several integer values) to the Job table. Even though this information is only needed in migration and copy jobs, since there are not normally millions of Jobs, I prefer this to the additional complexity and the performance hit of a separate table. Comments? First a qualifier: I'm only a dabbler in database work - When the migration occurs, you're essentially making a copy of the existing pool and labeling it for archival purposes. It seems to me then, this data simply has additional characteristics. Clark Kent, mild mannered news reporter -- Superman.. still the same guy, just different costume and hair doo. So, why raise the complexity value by adding a relational table when it's easier to create a new record with added attributes? 2. When doing a migration of a Volume Bacula must start one Job for each Job that is backed up on a Volume. Now, if you have 10,000 Jobs on a Volume, this could be a huge flood of jobs all started at the same time, which would be rather nasty and probably cause something to break. Obviously long term, we will need to find some solution to this (i.e. start one job that makes all the necessary Job entries in the catalog while copying all the data). Probably for the moment, I am just going to let Bacula fire off all the jobs and see what happens since there is really no good mechanism to wait (I could wait until the number of running/waiting jobs drops below a certain level before starting more jobs ...). For those of you who are using Tivoli or NetWorker, please remember that Bacula is job based, which means that each Job must be moved or at least the catalog entry of each Job must be properly updated. There is no other way of pulling data from a Volume (especially because Job data can spill over from a previous Volume or spill over to another Volume after the one being Migrated ...). Comments? You lost me at 10,000 Jobs. 3. Currently the manual is licensed under a somewhat restrictive license that does not permit commercial reproduction of the manual without explicit authorization. This means that the manual does not mean the definition of Free Software. My idea in keeping the license commercially restricted was so that someone could possibly publish the manual (or use it as the basis of something to be published) and that a part of the revenues would revert to the project. However, I am now convinced that there is little chance that someone would want to publish the manual without working with us and that it is better to change the license to GPL version 2. There are, of course, all sorts of other open source licenses, but given that the source is GPL v2, this is the logical license for the manual as well. Comments? Another caveat: I know little about the licensing mechanisms. This is hypothetical. If this can happen: Worst case scenario - someone publishes w/o working with you and benefits financially leaving you and all the developers high and dry. Are you and the rest of the community okay with that happening? What would the fallout be? What risk is there to the project? Is there perhaps a benefit to the project? Bacula is in my mind an excellent option to the commercially available software on the market today. I plan to use Bacula in future deployments for client sites as opposed to utilizing Veritas/ Symantec or CA. The value/pricing proposition is quickly diminishing with the improvements in Bacula and the bare metal recovery tools in the open source community. Hope these musings will generate a little more commentary on your post. Erich

[Bacula-users] Cannot use DVD for backup's, several errors. Help!
Hello all,
I am having a lot of trouble setting up Bacula to use DVD+RWs for its
backup media. Unfortunately I do not have the money for a home tape
system, so I decided to go with DVD+RWs. Here is what is going
on. When I attempt to run a backup job the console requests that I mount
a media volume (chdata1-0001, is the default setting for the first label per my
config files listed below). Since it a blank DVD+RW I am unable to mount
it. Also, I am unable to label it manually. This makes sense since
you mount file systems not a drive. I am running Bacula version 1.38.9
with dvd+rw-tools version 5.21.4.10.8 patched with the provided Bacula source
patch file. I am running Gentoo Linux Distribution. In
my system log file I am receiving some interesting errors:

Any help is greatly appreciated. I am now at a loss
after a week of reading online. I am somewhat new to *nix, not to
computers at all. I would consider myself on a scale of 1-10 on knowledge
at a 4 with *nix with always more to learn :] .

Re: [Bacula-users] Cannot use DVD for backup's, several errors. Help!
Have you installed the patch for dvd+rwtools? ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
[Bacula-users] Setting up new Bacula install, need some pointers..
So, the daunting manual has left me speechless (it's so BIG) and our printer in need of a new transfer kit. I can't find out tape library on the list of supported devices, so I ask here. We have a Dell 128T with a single LTO drive. This is the equivalent of a HP SureStore 2/20 (otherwise known as a 7200) - so I am told. How do we set up to use this library from Bacula? Anyone with experience doing this out there? THANKS - Joseph Silverman ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
Re: [Bacula-users] Cannot use DVD for backup's, several errors. Help!
Yes, I patched it from the patch folder. It did state that it patched successfully. I am running dvd+rw-tools vs 5.21.4.10.8. I re-patched and re-installed just to insure it was done properly. And I am still receiving the same errors.

My DVD Writer does support the media I am using, and it has been formatted using dvd+rw-tools. I have also attempted to use DVD-R and DVD+R with the same result. The exact requests I receive in Bacula are as follows: Did you blank the disk with this command? I don't think just a format is enough. dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024 count=512 | growisofs -Z /dev/xxx=/dev/fd/0 Also you can try canceling the job prune volume chdata1-0001 and then deleting the folder /tmp/backup/chdata1-0001 as you may be having problems with failed data. A couple of other things. I found to use dvd media bacula must autolabel the media because the label command does not work with dvds (at least it has never worked for me). I have had the most success with dvd+rw media. Also there is an append patch in this list (in last 60 days) that you may need to get bacula to write more data to the disk after the inital write. I reposted the patch along with a gentoo ebuild that applies the patch.

Re: [Bacula-users] Maildir Backups
Quite a brilliant idea indeed, although it might consume a considerable amount of resources. As far as the existing solutions (ext2compr and double) reach, I don't really think they would apply for such a setup as I don't think they're still maintained. But some kind of gzip fifo solution could possibly do the trick. By the way, as mentioned by Bill Moran. Maildir does not inherently keep its own indexes, it only applies unique names to its mails so indexing can not be an issue during backup. The only issue can occur if and only if a message is received during the moving of a new message and at the same time an ls (readdir()) is done on the directory the backup could skip a new email. So in the worst case you could lose a few unread new mails. More about the maildir format here: http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html it's locking issues on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maildir Is it possible to mount a zip file in loopback? Like one can do with an .iso file? Instead of an encrypted file system, does a compressed filesystem exist? Then he could simply rsync the folders with this filesystem mounted in loopback, unmount it and backup the files that sat underneath it. It might make sense to do that user per user to make therestore operation a little bit more practical. ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

With versions of bacula prior to 1.38 the director daemon was running as root, so ejecting the tape was a simple matter of creating a job that ran an mtx unload as a RunBeforeJob rule. Now that bacula-dir is running as the bacula user for security, the bacula-dir no longer has permission to run mtx commands directly. I was wondering if there is a way I can command bacula-sd to eject the tapes on behalf of the director. I use a combination of sudo and RunAfterJob to accomplish this. If there's a better way, I'd love to hear it :) Use the umount command from a Bacula shell? (Also possible in a RunAfterJob like 'echo umount XXX|bconsole -c ...' in a shell.) umount only detaches the storage deamon from the tape drive. It doesn't actually force a changer tape unload. Looks like I'll be using the sudo method, but I'd sure like to see this filed as a feature request: Add a bconsole command that will unload all tapes from all drives in all changers.

Re: [Bacula-users] Cannot use DVD for backup's, several errors. Help!
I found out what my issue was. It was my brain. In the dvd-handler there are some var's you can set up top. The vars for the location of the dvd+rw-tool were incorrect. After fixing the error it started working like a charm. I hope this helps out for anyone else out there. Just Tripple check every path. And do not try to type or use root after taking a sleeping pill like I just did. Spell check is going nuts.
