[Bacula-users] Feature Requests
Thanks. I've added this to the projects list.

Why: When using cloned jobs, most of the time you have 2 pools - a disk pool and a tape pool. People who have 2 pools would like to select the most recent backup from disk, not from tape (tape would be only needed in emergency). However, the most recent backup (which may just differ a second from the disk backup) may be on tape and would be selected. The problem becomes bigger if you have a full and differential - the most recent full backup may be on disk, while the most recent differential may be on tape (though the differential on disk may differ even only a second or so). Bacula will complain that the backups reside on different media then. For now the only solution now when restoring things when you have 2 pools is to manually search for the right job-id's and enter them by hand, which is a bit fault tolerant. - Take Surveys.

Item 41: Add an item to the restore option where you can select a pool Below, you will find more information on future projects: Item 1: Accurate restoration of renamed/deleted files Date: 28 November 2005 Origin: Martin Simmons (martin at lispworks dot com) Status: Robert Nelson will implement this What: When restoring a fileset for a specified date (including most recent), Bacula should give you exactly the files and directories that existed at the time of the last backup prior to that date. Currently this only works if the last backup was a Full backup. When the last backup was Incremental/Differential, files and directories that have been renamed or deleted since the last Full backup are not currently restored correctly. Ditto for files with extra/fewer hard links than at the time of the last Full backup. Why:Incremental/Differential would be much more useful if this worked. Notes: Merging of multiple backups into a single one seems to rely on this working, otherwise the merged backups will not be truly equivalent to a Full backup. Kern: notes shortened. This can be done without the need for inodes. It is essentially the same as the current Verify job, but one additional database record must be written, which does not need any database change. Kern: see if we can correct restoration of directories if replace=ifnewer is set. Currently, if the directory does not exist, a dummy directory is created, then when all the files are updated, the dummy directory is newer so the real values are not updated. Item 2: Implement a Bacula GUI/management tool. Origin: Kern Date: 28 October 2005 Status: What: Implement a Bacula console, and management tools probably using Qt3 and C++. Why:Don't we already have a wxWidgets GUI? Yes, but it is written in C++ and changes to the user interface must be hand tailored using C++ code. By developing the user interface using Qt designer, the interface can be very easily updated and most of the new Python code will be automatically created. The user interface changes become very simple, and only the new features

I happen to have NetApp NearStore VTLs with capacity on them, that I can use as my back-end. VTL is a virtual tape library, i.e a collection of disk that presents itself on a FibreChannel port as being a regular tape library. These VTLs are connected to a physical tape library. The backup application doesn't see the physical tape library directly. The way it works is that I will define virtual libraries on the VTL, define drives and slots, and assign to a server. This server thinks he's talking to a regular tape library; mounts/reads/writes like always. The magic happens when the application or OS issues an EJECT command to move a tape (it doesn't know it's a virtual tape) to the I/O slot. This question is not possible to answer because you are using a terminology that does not correspond to that which I know. There is to the best of my knowledge (in the Unix world) no EJECT command. On the contrary there are exist two commands that Bacula uses. One is the offline command, and normally will discharge a tape from a tape reader. This is equivalent to the mt offline command, and Bacula can do offlines at particular times on request -- in fact, it is an OS API done through ioctl(). The second is an unload command that unloads a cassette from an autoloader drive. This command is a SCSI control command that Bacula issues by calling a program named mtx on most Unix systems (FreeBSD typically uses a different program). Bacula does not directly issue SCSI command such as the unload, but relies on mtx to do so for it. mtx will unload a tape in a particular drive into a specified slot, which must be empty. If your concept of EJECT corresponds to one of the above, then most likely it can be done in Bacula. = My terminology might be a little skewed after too much Veritas NetBackup exposure... Anyway, my point about the eject is that this is not a _drive_ operation as such. It is not related to umount, or unload of the drives themselves. (A possible exception is if the tape is idle in a drive, it should be umounted, unloaded, and THEN put in the import/export slot without stopping by its ) What I'm looking for is the library control software (MTX) to recognize one or more tape slots as Import/Export... Let's say my library has 6 of those. I want MTX (or Bacula wrappers) to eject V0123L2, which means to move tape V0123L2 from whatever storage slot, and put in I/E slot 1 (If I/E slot 1 is full, pick the next available) The library cannot be opened to retrieve this tape. There are no (easy) ways of moving it other than using the library Web GUI, which is a pain, and cannot be scripted. The reason I bring this up is that the movement of a (virtual) tape to the Import/Export slot of a virtual library is what triggers the virtual library into transferring the data off the virtual tape(i.e a byte stream on disk) on to a physical tape. OK, that is a lot clearer. There is no direct way to run these kinds of commands within Bacula. However, you can schedule an Admin job to script this or you can run it manually by unmounting the autochanger in Bacula (or stopping the SD) then using the mtx command, then restarting or mounting the autochanger in Bacula. - Take Surveys.

[Bacula-users] [CROSSML] Can Bacula fulfil these requirement?
To whom it may concern I would like to ask can Bacula fulfil all of the following requirement, I have read part of the documentation, and know it fulfil most of the following requirements. However, some of the following requirement I am not sure can Bacula fulfil it or not, so could you let me know can Bacula can do it NOW or it may be implement in the future. I have put OK next to the requirement if Bacula can fulfil that requirement, however, I may be wrong, so please correct it for me if it is wrong. 01) Able to split backups across multiple disks - OK 02) Incremental backups - OK 03) Improved flexibility for configuring which folders are backed up 04) Encrypted backup support - OK 05) backup notification email with html template - NOT SURE 06) ACL support - NOT SURE 07) Quick Restore (backup not split into 2G files, i.e. one single file) - NOT SURE 08) Scripts to allow specified files to be restored from the backup - OK: base on the catelog in DB 09) Shadow filesystem backups - NOT SURE 10) Incremental backups to remote fileservers rather than disks - OK I am looking forward to your reply and using Bacula. It will be great if Bacula can fulfil all of the above requirements, as these are the major factor for my decision. best regards, Eric - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Bacula-users] Restore Remote via SSH with one job only
Hello,
i'm using bacula 1.36.2-2sarge1 and want to backup several remote
maschines only available via ssh tunnels.
For this i'm having some jobs like:
Job {
Name = Client
JobDefs = DefaultRemoteJob
Client = FQDN
Run Before Job = /etc/bacula/ssh-tunnel.sh start %c
Run After Job = /etc/bacula/ssh-tunnel.sh stop %c
Write Bootstrap = /var/lib/bacula/ClientRoot2.bsr
}
The backup works fine with %c as FQDN for each Client. (Run Before und
After can also be declared inside JobDefs if i understand the %c
replacement correctly.
But my restore Job don't work.
Job {
Name = RestoreRemote
Type = Restore
Client = NEEDED_CLIENT_NAME
FileSet=StdSet
Storage = File
Pool = Default
Messages = Standard
Run Before Job = /etc/bacula/ssh-tunnel.sh start %c
Run After Job = /etc/bacula/ssh-tunnel.sh stop %c
Where = /
}
If i start a restore job, i select the client to restore to in bconsole.
Why i need to declare e client inside the Job Definition? The %c in Run
Before and After would not be replaced with the selected client but
with the Client in the Job Definition. So i need for each Remote Server
an own Restore Job.
Is there any way to do this with only one restore job for all remote
servers?

wouldn't it be easyer to change your tunnel machnism from SSH Port

too much overhead for the number of machines.

looks like something which doen't exists in 1.36.2 and for me it looks
like the same as %c expansion. But the %c expansion would be done to
the configured client inside the job definition and not to the selected

[Bacula-users] Res: FOSDEM slide presentation
Kern, I like the presentation; what I would like to point out is that you have ~30 pages with content and only 30-40 minutes to talk about them, leaving you with only a little more than a minute for each page. I suggest that you practice this presentation in front of a small audience, at a local LUG or college, for example - I believe you will be bombarded with questions and find out you won't be able to wrap it up. I gave a presentation at a local university last year about the FOSS solutions I use at my workplace; 12 slides, one hour, and it was barely enough. You could shave a bit of the technical info and highlight the following: - Quote the poll Peter Buschman ran last year and talk about the scenarios where people are using Bacula. - Talk about the features that make Bacula a boon to sysadmins: restore estimates, direct queries to the catalog, portable Win32/*nix restores, scriptability. - Make a HW/SW compatibility matrix: SUSE, RHEL, Fedora, Debian, LTO, SDLT, VXA, autochangers. Try and make people see that Bacula is enterprise ready. - A few screenshots (Bacula web-gui, tray-monitor, wxconsole) would make things prettier. Just my $0.02.

Hi Kern, Over the last year or better there has been a large movement to bring the developer community in my area together. The format of the get togethers has been modeled after barcamp.org's unconferences. Everyone is allowed/required to contribute. From reading the About FOSDEM page, it sounds like this a little more conference then unconference, but I think one thing still applies: geeks, developers, or whatever you want to call people like us like to see the product and probably won't appreciate a long slide show as much as a demo. So if you're looking for an opinion, at that's all this is, I would recommend presenting Bacula via demonstration rather than presentation. Remember, many of us suffer from NADD -- http://www.randsinrepose.com/archives/2003/07/10/nadd.html. Of course, if FOSDEM mandates that you give a presentation, then you're set.

Re: [Bacula-users] FOSDEM slide presentation
This is a great presentation that I will use at work to help build support for Bacula! In the presentation I noticed the multiple simultaneous copies of the same backup on different volumes feature. I'm using 1.38.7, and run two sets of backups, one to tape and another to disk a few hours later. Is this feature available in a subsequent Bacula version, or did I space out when I read the manual? If I just missed, please point me to the info, otherwise to the version. Many thanks, and kudos for a great product that helps me open the door to open source in a mostly MS world.

[Bacula-users] how to configure Bacula to use MYSQL on a remote server?
Hi, I am in the process of replacing two old Bacula servers. The new servers will also have a common MYSQL database server. How do I configure Bacula to connect to a remote MYSQL server and use a different database name. I.E. Bacula server1 would connect to MYSQL server and use BACULA1 db with user bacula1 and password pass1 And Bacula server2 would connect to MYSQL server and use BACULA2 db with user bacula2 and password pass2 Thank you for your help.

Re: [Bacula-users] how to configure Bacula to use MYSQL on a remote server?
Andre,
in your bacula-dir.conf (or in a file referenced from it) file you will
find:
Catalog {
Name = CATALOG_NAME
DB Address = DB_SERVER_ADDRESS
DB Port = DB_PORT
dbname = DB_NAME
user = DB_USER_NAME
password = DB_PASSWORD
}
Change that to the configuration information for your new database
server and instance.
I also had to make changed to the catalog backup script:
INSTALL_DIR/etc/make_catalog_backup
Here is the script in its entirety:
###
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script dumps your Bacula catalog in ASCII format
# It works for MySQL, SQLite, and PostgreSQL
#
# $1 is the name of the database to be backed up and the name
# of the output file (default = bacula).
# $2 is the user name with which to access the database
# (default = bacula).
# $3 is the password of the bacula database user
# $4 is the hostname of the database server
# $5 is the port on the database server
#---
# check that all of the arguments are there:
#---
if [ $# != 5 ];then
echo Usage: $0 database username password hostname
db_port_number
exit 1
fi
#---
# change to the backup directory:
#---
cd /usr/local/bacula_knightworks/var/bacula/working
#---
# remove the previous catalog dump:
#---
if [ -f ${1}.sql ]; then
rm -f ${1}.sql
fi
#---
# do the backup:
#---
if test xsqlite = xmysql ; then
echo .dump | /usr/bin/sqlite $1.db $1.sql
else
if test xmysql = xmysql ; then
/usr/bin/mysqldump -h $4 -u $2 --port=$5 --password=$3 -f --opt $1
$1.sql
else
/usr/bin/pg_dump -U $2 $1 $1.sql
fi
fi
For this to work, you need to change your catalog backup RunBeforeJob
settings:
RunBeforeJob = /INSTALL_DIR/etc/make_catalog_backup database
username password hostname db_port_number

Re: [Bacula-users] BackupCatalog waiting to reserve a device
You might configure concurrent jobs as a solution. That way, if one client is off-line, it doesn't hold up the whole show for the other jobs. Otherwise, the jobs will queue and wait patiently for the device to become available.

Re: [Bacula-users] Using btraceback
On Tue, 02 Jan 2007 17:49:22 -0500, DAve said: I have a problem that may be simple. But trying to get a traceback is proving to be problematic. Following the directions in the manual, and what I could find in archives, I believe I am doing it correctly. However a couple issues spring up. First, the manual states that running btraceback manually should send the current state of bacula and exit leaving the processes running. This is true if there are no jobs running. http://pixelhammer.com/DAve/Bacula/btraceback2.txt But if jobs are running, bacula-dir goes away. Should btraceback stop bacula-dir? http://pixelhammer.com/DAve/Bacula/btraceback3.txt And finally, the traceback I get when I see the problem I am trying to report. I get the strange feeling that I need more information to properly report the problem to Kern. http://pixelhammer.com/DAve/Bacula/btraceback1.txt I am running Bacula 1.38.5 FreeBSD 5.4 Bacula installed from ports. I have debug set to a value of 99. I am running btraceback manually as root with the following command. btraceback /usr/local/sbin/bacula-dir 86459 The PID is correct and /usr/local/sbin/btraceback has been correctly edited. Thanks, any assistance is appreciated. The errors Previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?) and No stack can mean several things, in order of likeliness: 1) the code doesn't contain sufficient debug info 2) gdb is broken or incompatible with gcc 3) gcc is broken or incompatible with gdb You could try configuring and building Bacula with CFLAGS=-g to solve 1, though there will still be issues with the system libraries. If that doesn't work, then building your own gdb from the latest sources might help with 2. You might be able to build your own gcc too, but that's pretty drastic. Finally, you can run bacula-dir directly under gdb (add the -f option when starting bacula-dir). Then interrupt bacula-dir and use the gdb commands in the script at the gdb command line, which should allow you to skip any that fail. __Martin - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Bacula-users] SD reading of volfiles and catalog don't match
1. Did you run the btape test command before using Bacula?
2. Did you do all the 9 steps suggested in the tape testing chapter of the
manual?

I'm consistently running into a problem where whenever the SD has to
reposition the tape to start a new job it fails the tape because the
number of volume files it counts on the tape doesn't match the number
stored in the database for that volume. The files on tape is always 1
less than the catalog entry.
I can reliably reproduce the failure with the following steps.
Setup:
set all but one tape to disabled in the pool to ensure I know which tape
will be chosen for backup
purge files/jobs from target tape - this sets it's status to purged
ensure that volume is set to recycle
Test:
run job - this one creates 2 volfiles
check count of volfiles in catalog
unmount volume
remount volume - forces next job to seek to end of data
run job - the volume will be set to error because the SD finds 1 volume
file on tape and catalog says 2
Check tape EOM:
unmount volume
mtx load 1 0
mt status - shows file marker at 0
mt eom
mt status - shows file marker at 2
(see transcript below for actual commands and output)
Alternate test:
run job - creates 2 volfiles
run job - creates 2 volfiles
unmount volume
remount volume - forces next job to seek to end of data
run job - the volume will be set to error because the SD finds 3 volume
files on tape and catalog says 4
I'm running 1.39.22 with DIR, SD and FD on Solaris 10 x86.
The configuration passes btape test and autochanger.
The drives are HP TZ89 on this system and HP LTO-3 on a second SD server
that is exhibiting the same problem.
It seems that the SD isn't finding itself at the right location after
the
seek to EOM. What /should/ the file location be from mt status after
seeking to EOM with 2 volfiles written to tape?
I'm using the following directives in the Device entry (wrapped
incorrectly by the emailer, of course):
Device {

Media Type = DLT-8000
Archive Device = /dev/rmt/0cbn

TWO EOF = yes
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled
media
Maximum Network Buffer Size = 65536
}
Do I have a combination of settings that works under btape but is
incorrect for the logic of the SD?
What tools does bacula provide that I can use to track this down
further?

What I'm looking for it a quote from someone at a company using Bacula, the more recognizable the better (e.g. IBM would be perfect). For an idea of what I'm looking for, please see: http://www.postgresql.org/about/press/presskit82.html.en As of now, the PR can go out as is, but a quote would be a nice inclusion.

[Bacula-users] Migration job question.
I'm preparing to upgrade from 1.38.7. My current nightly process looks like this: 1. Backup to tape. 2. Backup to file. In looking at the current documentation on bacula.org, the migration job info says a migration *moves* the data and pointer in the catalog to new volumes. Somewhere else (I think on the list), I saw a note from Kern with the text Migration/copy. My question is, can I use a migration job to *copy* my backup jobs to new volumes - as opposed to *moving* them? If so, can you point me to the documentation/posting? I have searched the list, so I apologize if I missed it. Many thanks in advance. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Migration copies the data from one volume to another (note it must a volume on a different storage device). After the copy is complete it marks the data on the old volume as being obsolete (and hence subject to volume purging etc). The key is that if you try to do a restore after the migrate it will take the data from the new volume and not the old. Copy is a future extension (not currently scheduled) that is more like an offsite copy. The idea there is that the restore would come from the original volume but if need be you could get it from the offsite volume. So to answer your question you can use migration to copy the data but the bacula catalog will only try to use new copy of the data at a later date. The original data will still exist until a volume gets reused. Regards Richard I have searched the list, so I apologize if I missed it. Many thanks in advance. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Bacula-users] btape-iscsi kernel panic
Hi, On 1/3/2007 7:36 PM, Frank V Murphy wrote: Hello, I am attempting to build bacula on RHEL3.4.4-2 (Linux version 2.6.9-22ELsmp) with an iSCSI connected 8mm Cybernetics drive. The drive is fine by tar, mt, etc. btape is able to query the tape drive, but when I test or fill using btape I get a genuine kernel panic . One iteration of testing allowed me to get the following error message: kernel: bad page state at free_hot_cold_page ( in process 'iscsi-rx', page c1680760) That looks like a possible kernel bug. Any idess? Try reporting it to Red Hat. Or try a newer or older kernel where the relevant module is different, but I would leave that part to the RH guys - you paid them :-) It is possible that a Red Hat patch created the problem, so testing with another distribution or a vanilla kernel might be worth a try. Anything you can tell RH support will only improve the time to fix such a problem.

Re: [Bacula-users] SD reading of volfiles and catalog don't match
Hi,
On 1/3/2007 7:32 PM, Alan Davis wrote:
I'm consistently running into a problem where whenever the SD has to
reposition the tape to start a new job it fails the tape because the
number of volume files it counts on the tape doesn't match the number
stored in the database for that volume. The files on tape is always 1
less than the catalog entry.
After a quick look over your configuration...
...
Device {
Name = Drive-0 #
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = DLT-8000
Archive Device = /dev/rmt/0cbn
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AutoSelect = yes;
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
Changer Command = /opt/bacula/bin/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d

# Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
Alert Command = /sbin/sh -c '/usr/local/sbin/tapeinfo -f %c
|/usr/bin/grep TapeAlert|/usr/bin/cat'
Offline On Unmount = no
Hardware End of Medium = yes
BSF at EOM = yes
... have you tried the tests with BSF at EOM = no? My understanding is
that an incorrect setting here should give you the results you see.
Backward Space Record = yes
Backward Space File = yes
Fast Forward Space File = yes
Use MTIOCGET= yes
TWO EOF = yes
Perhaps you should verify that you need the above; if you do - i.e., if
your OS / tape driver understand only an EOM that consists of two EOFs
(and I'm not sure how solaris handles that) than better don't try my
above suggestion :-)
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled
media
Maximum Network Buffer Size = 65536
}
Do I have a combination of settings that works under btape but is
incorrect for the logic of the SD?
Looks like it.
What tools does bacula provide that I can use to track this down
further?
Not much beyond the debug output. You will need a pretty high debug
level for the SD to follow the SDs tape activity, IIRC.
Any many thanks for a really informative bug report!
