Re: [Bacula-users] loging in using recovery cd fails rescue-cd 1.8.3
Hello everyone, I tried qemu with fedora core 5 (with all the updates/security fixes to the core build) and even qemu did not want to run on core 5. It said that there are known issues with glibc 4.x (which just happens to be what is installed on a core 5 updated). I also tried the 1.8.2 version of the rescue cd source code and still got the login incorrect errors. Anyway, I have just built a test box of mandrake 10.1 (the last version before the name changed to mandriva) and I did a quick build of the bacula rescue cd, and I was able to log on using a normal user account and then su to root. Bottom line seems to be, that if you want the rescue cd to work, don't use fedora core 5. Thing is sh is a symlink to bash, as it is in FC5 so I now know that it was not anything I omitted to do or messed up. I have not yet tried to restore the fc5 server from the mandrake rescue cd. Have yet to correctly make the static bacula. The test was just to see if I could actually login before spending too much time. I am even considering changing our proxy server over to mandriva/mandrake if the restore does not correctly work. Regards, Christopher Gregory.

Then make a FC5 rescue disk. You can then boot with the FC5 disk, and unmount it, mount the Bacula rescue disk, where you can get to the programs needed. Please note that the Bacula rescue disk assumes that the disk drives are mounted under /disk/ ... while the FC5 has a different naming convention. The second point is that now that I have switched to SuSE, I need a Bacula rescue disk, and now I must work on it in the *very* near future.

Re: [Bacula-users] messages and canceled jobs
I finally decided to use my own mail system (which naturally uses bsmtp ;-) ), which sends short messages, in french ;-). This way I can catch all events directly in the python code. Maybe Canceled could be added in the message types (info, warning, error, fatal, terminate) and also be logged. The problem is that the python script can cancel a job automatically with 'job.cancel(JobId)'. For example, if python script tests for sufficient disk space and there isn't, it can do a job.cancel(JobId). If done this way, nothing is logged and user won't receive any message that the backup has failed. K.

I can list the number of slots, load and unload specific slots fine. Have you tried accessing the tape *immediately* after the load command returns? However I've found that even though the documentation mentions you can use 2 parameters, somehow the trap does not work. So in essence mtx-changer /dev/sg2 unload will not work. Instead you have to use mtx-changer /dev/sg2 unload 1 /dev/nst0 0 where (1 is where the tape was loaded from). I don't know why this is the case - here it always worked with two parameters only - but it's quite a while that I used an unmodified version of mtx-changer, so this might have changed. I've even checked by issuing the correct mtx commands that the mtx-changer script does and that works too. However running the btape test (btape -c /etc/bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0) and then running the autochanger command will fail. It just keeps on loading tape 1, reading for 10 minutes and then unloading, then reloading, reading ... repeat. Each time getting longer. I've even labeled the tape using the console label command first to ensure it wasn't an empty tape and its still fails... If I run it from the console (not btape) then I get the following emailed as an error:- 03-Jul 13:44 FC5-test: Error: bnet.c:426 Write error sending 55 bytes to client:127.0.0.1:36131: ERR=Broken pipe Don't know why the pipe is breaking... The passwords are all correct. I've even checked that there's no firewall in the way (not supposed to matter because its localhost). I don't, too, but that might follow from the underlying problem with tape access... Is there anything else I should be looking at?

[Bacula-users] pool definition aand tls questions
Hello,
I'm using bacula 1.38.11 on a FreeBSD 6 box and redoing my
configuration. I've been wanting to get individual machines to back up to
there own subdirectory of my disk backup area, so i'm implementing that. I'm
following the automatic disk management chapter in the bacula manual. My
question for this is in the below output i have the Full Pool and the
Incremental Pool, but testing the config file i got a syntax error if the
pool=default line was not included, actually it just wanted the pool
statement. Why would i need this default if i had set up the full and
incremental pools?
My second question is for tls. I've got a remote box that i want to back
up, but i need to get tls going. I've set up the lines as indicated in the
bacula manual, now i need to come up with a ca and keys. Can anyone
recommend a good tutorial on making a ca and keys for bacula's use? This
will be for local clients as well, i want to encrypt all backup
communications.
Thanks.
Dave.

I finally decided to use my own mail system (which naturally uses
bsmtp ;-) ), which sends short messages, in french ;-).
This way I can catch all events directly in the python code.
Maybe Canceled could be added in the message types (info, warning,
error, fatal, terminate) and also be logged.
The problem is that the python script can cancel a job automatically
with 'job.cancel(JobId)'.
For example, if python script tests for sufficient disk space and there
isn't, it can do a job.cancel(JobId). If done this way, nothing is
logged and user won't receive any message that the backup has failed.
I'm not totally convinced that it is necessary to add any new code for several
reasons:
1. Python can put messages in the Job Report, so when you cancel a job with
Python, you can first add a message saying that Python is canceling the job.
2. All actions, including canceling, that cause the job to stop *should*
appear in the Job log as long as you have INFO messages logged. If someone
can give me a concrete case of this not working, I'll try to track down where
a message has been overlooked.

Well, there was a bug in previous versions which prevented Bacula from
printing missing files. In fixing it, it is possible that I introduced
another problem. However, I have not seen the above here, and I suspect
there is just some strange thing with your catalog.
What I recommend is to run your Verify job with InitCatalog, then immediately
afterward run it again with Catalog, and if still reports problems, then we
need to look into it some more. Hopefully that will resolve your problems.
One thing to know is that the current algorithm will get confused if you run
multiple simultaneous Verifies, so please ensure that the verify jobs run one
at a time.
In any case, please let me know how it turns out ...
I hope you don't mind me coping the bacula-users list, I think they might be
interested in this.
These catalogs are on disk, but veryfy jobs thinks that they missing. Why ?
And also, these catalogs are within catalogs defined in 2-nd Include

Re: [Bacula-users] Confusion about Size of Volumes/Files while using File as Storage
Hi, Martin Simmons wrote: On Wed, 05 Jul 2006 01:14:48 +0200, Daniel Bloemer said: Hi, I am a bit confused about the handling of file sizes while using Storage Type = File for the sd. The following two options are clear, they limit the size of the volumes, if they are not limited by the hardware. 1. A record in the Storage daemons Device resource Maximum Volume Size 2. A record in the Directors Pool resource Maximum Volume Bytes (so much for consistency) Then I found this in the documentation: Maximum File Size = size No more than size bytes will be written into a given logical file on the volume. Once this size is reached, an end of file mark is written on the volume and subsequent data are written into the next file. Breaking long sequences of data blocks with file marks permits quicker positioning to the start of a given stream of data and can improve recovery from read errors on the volume. The default is one Gigabyte. According to this entry in the documentation I would expect bacula to split a Volume limited by Maximum Volume Bytes in size into physical files limited by Maximum File Size on my harddisc. While testing the backup-system I changed this parameter without any visible effect. I have created new volumes after changing the parameter, to make the change effective. Can someone enlighten me about this? It's a confusion about the word file -- the logical file mentioned above is a chunk of bytes within the volume. With Bacula's tape volumes, each logical file is represented using what is traditionally called a file on the tape. With Bacula's file volumes, a single operating system file is used for the whole volume and its size is limited by Maximum Volume Bytes/Size. There is only one logical file within the file volume. Thanks for the info. That does explain it.

Hello Kern.
Bravo, I wish more people would discover this feature. It is one thing
that lets me sleep at night knowing that if someone installs a rootkit on
my server I will know about it in the morning !
yep :)
only thing, I usually forget to update catalog once a month, and on some
machines catalog expires.
Yes, me too. I've looked at the code several times and don't see the reason
for the pruning. I often forget to update it after loading a package update
too, but that isn't so bad because it reminds me that it is working ...
Well, there was a bug in previous versions which prevented Bacula from
printing missing files. In fixing it, it is possible that I introduced
another problem. However, I have not seen the above here, and I suspect
there is just some strange thing with your catalog.
What I recommend is to run your Verify job with InitCatalog, then
immediately afterward run it again with Catalog, and if still reports
problems, then we need to look into it some more. Hopefully that will
resolve your problems.
Unfortunately, no. The same on error with new version bacula-fd and
Catalog-Init
But! problem was in my config, the same catalogs matched twice, and the
Verify complains about that.
One thing to know is that the current algorithm will get confused if you
run multiple simultaneous Verifies, so please ensure that the verify jobs
run one at a time.
In any case, please let me know how it turns out ...
I hope you don't mind me coping the bacula-users list, I think they might
be interested in this.
No problem.
May be, there is problems with config ? or with verify run algorithms
?

RegexFile = ^.*$
The right string - Regex = ^.*$

Hmmm. Tricky.
Thanks, now all works fine.
Good. Thanks for the feedback.

Re: [Bacula-users] backup size prediction?
Hi Mark,
I've written a nagios shell script to check my pools in the way you
describe.
I also remember that Arno Lehmann did something similar in perl (it is
distibuted with the bacula sources)
Regards,
Ludovic Strappazon.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit :
Is there any way to have bacula predict how many volumes will be needed for the
next night's backup?
My goal is to make sure that the autochanger is always loaded with enough tapes
to handle the next night's backup, without changing tapes every day.
I'm interested in having bacula notify me in advance that it guesses that the
following night's backup will require N volumes. I don't want to run
estimate for each client (which is a time-consuming and resource intensive
action), and then sum the results. It would be great if bacula made use of
information that's in the database to get the average of the sizes of the last
X backups of the same level that's scheduled for the next backup (ie., full,
incremental, differential) for each client, and then added a user-defined
fudge-factor (maybe 10%) to guess at the size of the upcoming backup for all
scheduled jobs.
For example, most of our non-full backups are under 100GB for all clients
combined, so our autochanger can run for a long time without manually removing
full tapes and putting in new ones. However, full backups can be anywhere from
40GB to over 2TB (depending on the client). To reduce contention, full backups
are set up with a staggered schedule--each client does a full on a different
night. It would be nice to get some warning from bacula that the next night's
backup will probably take 6 volumes, so that I can make sure the enough empty
(or over-writeable) tapes are loaded.
Any suggestions about scripting such an early warning system? I'm thinking of
something like:
--- bad pseudo-code ---
foreach $client sqlquery(Get list of clients scheduled to backup
tonight)
{
$backup_level=sqlquery(Get level of next backup for $client);
$size=average(sqlquery size in GB of all backups for
$client of $backup_level);
$predictedsize=$total + $size;
}
$predictedsize=$predictedsize * $fudgefactor;
foreach $volsize (sqlquery(Select VolumeSize in GB
where VolumeStatus='Full'))
{
$volsizetotal=$volsize + $volsizetotal;
$volcount++;
}
$average_GB_to_fill_volume=$volsizetotal/$volcount;
$volumes_needed=$predictedsize / $average_GB_to_fill_volume;
roundup($volumes_needed);
print There will be $volumes_needed needed for tonight's backup;

I considered adding such a function to the baculareport scrip I created,
but never actually found it necessary. But I really like to see what

I would even try to estimate the expected growth (does *anybody* have
backup sets that become smaller over time?) from the existing backups.
Simply assume a linear growth and add the observed error to your result.
Or something. I would need to brush up my mathematical / statistical
knowledge a bit :-)

$size=average(sqlquery size in GB of all backups for
$client of $backup_level);
$predictedsize=$total + $size;
}
$predictedsize=$predictedsize * $fudgefactor;
This would need to be calculated per pool, IMO.

where VolumeStatus='Full'))
{
$volsizetotal=$volsize + $volsizetotal;
$volcount++; }
$average_GB_to_fill_volume=$volsizetotal/$volcount;
I do have some function to estimate volume capacity in baculareport.pl
which is a little more complicated, but still gives reasonable results :-)
$volumes_needed=$predictedsize / $average_GB_to_fill_volume;
roundup($volumes_needed);
print There will be $volumes_needed needed for tonight's backup;

Apart from my obsession with with putting backups of different levels to
different pools and storage devices, I fully agree - such a script would
be a nice addition.

Re: [Bacula-users] Upgrade from 1.36.3 to latest question

I was wondering if the upgrade will cause any Incremental jobs to be upgraded to Full jobs. Anyone? If the catalog survives the upgrade and you don't change the fileset definitions, then thee jobs will remain as Incremental. Of course the old full backups of the OS partitions will be pretty stale, so doing a manual full backup is advisable. __Martin Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula.spec file and CentOS 4.3
... continuing...
If I modify the test line in the spec file (adding a ! %{centos4}
after the rh9 entry, then it whines about needing linc-devel, which as
far as I have been able to determine, is not available for CentOS4 i386
stuff.
I twiddled the test line that makes it required, and again added centos4
to it. Then it goes off to build.
It's building now, but I can't help but think I am doing something wrong
and that all the above twiddling shouldn't be required.

[Bacula-users] Director won't run as user bacula
Hi,I've just finished upgrading our backup server from bacula 1.36.3 to 1.38.11, running on Fedora 4, using the binary rpms. The storage and file daemons start up fine, but the director silently dies. What little testing I could do showed that it won't run as user bacula (as set in bacula-ctl-dir) but runs quite happily as root. The storage daemon is running as user bacula and group disk without an issue.I've no idea how to begin to investigate this any further. Does anyone have any suggestions?Thanks,Michael Carey. __Michael Carey Information Systems AdministratorPhone: (03) 479 5882 ITS Teaching Facilitiesmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] University of Otago, NZ___* Using Tomcat but need to do more?
