Re: [Bacula-users] Client Run Before Job script failing.
Possible solutions below. 1. Try sudo. 2. How do you connect to MySQL locally, TCP/IP or socket? In that case, you might want to log into MySQL as root and SELECT User, Host, Password FROM mysql.user; to see if your passwords are OK. My output is as follows: ++-+-+ | User | Host| Password| ++-+-+ | root | localhost | | | root | bacula.mydomain | | || bacula.mydomain | | || localhost | | | bacula | % | put_pw_here | | bacula | bacula.mydomain | | | bacula | localhost | | ++-+-+ Users 'root' and 'bacula' don't need to input a password when logging on from my 'bacula.mydomain' Bacula 1.38.9 server - I *think* it won't be broken into (it's not connected to the Internet, I keep it VERYut), and 'root' can't access MySQL from the network. 'bacula' can, for the sole reason that my Apache box running Bacula Web is a separate box, so it must supply the 'put_pw_here' password in order to read data from MySQL. Could it be more secure? Sure. I tried to configure the passwords so that 'root' and 'bacula' had to authenticate when logging on from my Bacula server as well, but for some weird reason the /etc/bacula/make_catalog_backup script wouldn't parse the password argument. But hey, even Oracle 10g allows you to connect as SYSDBA without supplying a password if you're part of the local dba group. --- Will McDonald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> escreveu: > Hi all. > > I have a problem with a Client Run Before Job script > to backup MySQL > databases which is only occurring when it's called > by Bacula. > > On the Director I have: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] scripts]# cat /etc/redhat-release; rpm > -qa | grep > bacula; ps aux | grep [b]acula > CentOS release 4.3 (Final) > bacula-mysql-1.38.5-4 > bacula-mtx-1.38.5-4 > bacula 25352 0.0 0.4 39808 2168 ?Ssl > 09:20 0:00 > /usr/sbin/bacula-sd -u bacula -g disk -v -c > /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf > root 25357 0.0 0.3 18132 1848 ?Ssl > 09:20 0:00 > /usr/sbin/bacula-fd -u root -g bacula -v -c > /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf > bacula 25362 0.0 0.5 60420 2988 ?Ssl > 09:20 0:00 > /usr/sbin/bacula-dir -u bacula -g bacula -v -c > /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf > > And the clients are: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] scripts]# cat /etc/redhat-release; rpm > -qa | grep > bacula; ps aux | grep [b]acula > CentOS release 4.3 (Final) > bacula-client-1.38.5-4 > root 14325 0.0 0.4 38976 2216 ?Ssl > Mar28 13:31 > /usr/sbin/bacula-fd -u root -g bacula -c > /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf > > The script runs mysqlshow to build a list of > available databases then > dumps them out to a standard location.

I just created multiple entries in the storage director configuration:
Device {
Name = SD_FULL
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /BACKUPS/Full
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}
Device {
Name = SD_INCR
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /BACKUPS/Incremental
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}
each of those mount points can be on different disks.
I of course have my Storage{} and Pool{} options configured in the
director configuration to utilize the Device {} created in the storage
director.

That's a problem in Bacula which exists for a while. For reasons unknown to me, Kern foundd that file positioning doesn't work reliably for Bacula, so he disabled that code. Thus, as far as I know, Bacula treats file volumes even worse than tape ones - when searching, it reads each byte while tapes can usually be positioned faster than being read. > 2 - Based on the fact Bacula does not use random access to disk volumes, > what's the best deal between spooling data to avoid interleaved backups > data and havin interleaved backups data on disk volumes ? Use spooling, and limit the size of your volume files to something reasonable. Depending on how fast and often you have to run restores I'd recommend something between few GB to something like 50 GB. (Keep in mind that, depending on your filesystem, it can be necessary or helpful to create the file system Bacula uses with an inode density that closely fits to what Bacula will need.) > 3 - By the way, what do you think of havin a single ~ 60GB disk volume > or several smaller 5-10GB volumes ?

[Bacula-users] How to start from a clean slate.
We have been running bacula for over a month and I now found I had things a bit misconfigured. I want to start over so I purged and deleted the contents of the catalog through the console. So the catalog showed no volumes. When my scheduled job kicked off I get an error that says: 06-Jun 23:10 jerome-dir: Start Backup JobId 120, Job=BackupCatalog.2006-06-06_23.10.00 06-Jun 23:10 jerome-dir: Created new Volume "Volume_0001" in catalog. 06-Jun 23:10 jerome-sd: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded drive 0" command. 06-Jun 23:10 jerome-sd: 3302 Autochanger "loaded drive 0", result is Slot 1. 06-Jun 23:10 jerome-sd: BackupCatalog.2006-06-06_23.10.00 Warning: Director wanted Volume "Volume_0001".

Is this covered in the Manual? I just want to start over. TIA John J. Boris, Sr. JEN-A-SyS Administrator Archdiocese of Philadelphia "Remember!

Don't drop any tables -- they are all needed! You can use the "query" command option "List all backups for a Client" to find the jobids for jobs on the old clients and the use the "delete job" command to remove the information for each one. __Martin ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
