Re: [Bacula-users] Win2k Automated Upgrade from 1.3x to 2.0

2007-01-26 Thread Mantas M.

I've been looking for a way to automate the setup on xp workstations as 
well. After some fifteen tries to install and uninstall bacula in 
various ways i've decided to go the with the merest:

1. stop the service
2. replace the binary files
3. start the service again.

as far as i've tested this, it works completely fine, and you do not 
have to play with nullsoft installers.

I would like however to add some comments on the installers. Installer 
(as well as uninstaller) shows way to much messages which do not require 
any reaction form the user. For instance, why do we need that service 
was successfully installed (removed) message? I believe there should 
only be one saying, that service install failed, in case that happens.
If (un)installer wouldn't have this irritating feature, it'd be easy to 
push new versios using the original installers, since the /S switch 
takes care of pretty much all the rest.


Regards,

Mantas.


 Does anyone have any scripts to push updates to clients on Windows 2000
 network?
 OR alternatively,
 does Bacula-2.0.1.exe has any command line switches to help to automate
 deployment?

 If, nothing exists, I will write batch or bash script to do it.

 BTW - I did see the script to update existing 1.3x installs, but since
 the 2.0 is quite different, it will not work.
 Thanks everyone

If I recall correctly, the Installer is not the one giving that message.
At least when I wrote the first version, it was the FD itself giving the
message when called with /install et al. (Hence I had no way of getting
rid of it in the installer.) Unless somebody added these messages to the
new installer (and forgot to make them silencable), the FD probably
needs modifying. This subject already came up on the list if I recall
correctly, unfortunately I have forgotten the outcome of that discussion.

2007-01-26 Thread Mantas M.
Thanks, Michel

that explains why the message is shown regardless of the /S switch.
It's sad, though, that this issue was overlooked, as it is a real bug 
for those, who use bacula in large windows based environments.

Re: [Bacula-users] Magic don't descend into this directory-files

2007-01-26 Thread Ian Levesque
I use a simple technique - my client configurations have an exclude  
statement for *.nobackup. If a user doesn't want to back up a  
directory, he can rename the directory with a .nobackup 'extension'.  
This is easier for a user to see and it's quite obvious later when he  
adds additional files to that directory.

Cheers,
Ian

There is a similar feature supported by GNU tar, see here

which Bacula might also be interested in supporting.

For the others who suggest Bacula becoming aware of special file names to stop 
recursion, the answer is no.  Bacula administration is all maintained in the 
Director.

However, for those who *really* want such features, the Bacula administrator 
can implement it as shown above, which is perfectly OK with me and also 
very visible for the user.

[Bacula-users] Possible missing SD Device resource configuration options

2007-01-26 Thread Josh Endries
Hi all,

I just upgraded to 2.0 and have been going through my configuration 
files (converting to per-client Devices). I noticed a couple definitions 
in my old 1.38 Device {} sections that are not mentioned in the manual. 
The first is Automatic Mount, is this still valid (was it ever? am I 
crazy?)? The other is mentioned in Basic Volume Management but not in 
the SD Device page: Label Media. Is this still valid? I get no errors 
currently from including them, so I figure I'll copy them over just to 
be safe, but maybe the manual needs to be updated.

Josh

[Bacula-users] bacula 2.0 on Ubuntu

2007-01-26 Thread expert71

Hello,

I am trying to install bacula 2.0 on Ubuntu Edty Eft machine. I read  
in the 2.0 announcement that Bacula 2.0 release is available for  
Ubuntu. I downloaded the latest release 2.0.1 .deb files from  
SourceForge, and tried installing. I get dependency errors when I try  
to install.


Are the .deb files on sourceforge suitable for Ubuntu?
Has anybody tried installing Bacula 2.0.1 on Ubuntu successfully? If  
yes, how did you get around the dependency problem?


Thanks

[Bacula-users] no respose when spooling attributes

2007-01-26 Thread Dan Langille
We're doing a large backup (1.5 million files). We have Spool 
Attributes = Yes.  I suspect it is spooling the attributes now and 
has been doing so for a few hours. 

Is status client expected to work during the spooling of 
attributes?  I ask because we wanted an hour or so for a reply. In 
fact, all the clients we tried are like that.  We have no idea why. 
status storage and status director all work.

Top shows postgres and bacula-sd to be busy.  Status storage works 
just fine. and show attribute spooling is under way:

Attr spooling: 1 active jobs, 2,397,406,830 bytes; 3 total jobs, 
4,173,518,749 max bytes

This is all Version: 2.0.1 (12 January 2007) on FreeBSD 6.2 with

 Please see attachment for the tail of the trace file. I couldn't

 completes the backup and there is no records at all that something

 while memtest might be a good idea just to make sure it's not RAM  
 that is causing this, it is a critical system and everything  
 besides bacula is working fine. At these circumstances I cannot

 Good idea from Alan to run the memtest. I bacula is the leading  
 indicator something more is wrong on the machine, I'd be thankful  
 to know before a meltdown!

 The other thing to do is run the FD in trace mode to see where it  
 exits. That alone should yield valuable info to permit corrective  
 action.

[Bacula-users] ? Device is BLOCKED waiting for mount of volume

2007-01-26 Thread Peter Eisch

This is a problem since I moved from 1.38.11 to 2.0.1 that I can't seem to
get past.  My changer script works from the command line.  The btape 'test'
and 'autochanger' work fine from the command line.  If I try to run a job
that uses the autochanger it will load the first media and then sit and wait
for Godot.  It seems to hate me.

...

I guess I should note that with 1.38.11 it would at least write the first
tape and then end up in this same state after mounting the second tape.  I
can't do an 'mt status' at this point because it seems to be doing something
to the drive, but whatever that is isn't writing.

Ideas?

Try unmounting the device first.

Well, you should tell us which volumes are in the autoloader, show us 
(examples of) the volume metadata, and tell us what you do when you load 
or change tapes.

What you describe looks like Bacula doesn't know about any volumes in 
the autochanger, or these are not labeled.

Re: [Bacula-users] ? Device is BLOCKED waiting for mount of volume

2007-01-26 Thread David Hatcher
Hi Peter,

I could be wrong, but I *think* that is the same problem I experienced
when I updated to 2.0.1.  Once a job began, my autochanger would not
load the tape it needed.  My solution was to add three lines of code to
the /etc/bacula/mtx-changer file on lines 157-159.  I added the
following.

if mt -f $device status | grep ONLINE  /dev/null 21; then
  mt -f $device offline
fi 

So now it looks like this from line 153 to 170.

#
# enable the following line if you need to eject the cartridge
# mt -f $device offline
# sleep 10
  if mt -f $device status | grep ONLINE  /dev/null 21; then
mt -f $device offline
  fi
  ${MTX} -f $ctl unload $slot $drive
  ;;

   load)
  debug Doing mtx -f $ctl load $slot $drive
  ${MTX} -f $ctl load $slot $drive
  rtn=$?
#
# Increase the sleep time if you have a slow device
# or remove the sleep and add the following:
# wait_for_drive $device


Cheers,
Dave

[Bacula-users] DVD+RW vs DVD-RAM for incremental daily backups

2007-01-26 Thread cy tune

I have a question about DVD+RW vs. DVD-RAM.  I read through the archives but
I didn't see anything comparing DVD+RW vs DVD-RAM.  Here's my plan:

a) DVD+RW or DVD-RAM for incremental daily backups.  I am planning on at
least 7 disks so I can extend the lifetime of the media.  DVD-RAM would last
longer and I like the hardware verification.

b) DVD+R for archiving weekly and full backups.  Probably dual layer for
full backups and single layer for weekly.  I don't think I'll generate much
more data than that.

Will DVD+R, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM all work fine when I need multiple disks for
each task?  If a weekly backup needs 3 disks, will that be okay?  Similarly
for the other tasks.

Is there any different setup you would recommend?  I looked into tape drives
but they are so expensive for the tapes and drives.  Right now I'm leaning
towards DVD+RW and DVD+R because I know it's supported according to the
bacula manual.

Has anyone used DVD-RAM with the hardware verification?  I'm not sure how to
turn that on/off in Linux since it's just treated as a hard drive.
According to the wikipedia entry, it will take about twice as long to write.

I'm only concerned with backing up a single system (linux 2.6.18) but will
soon be interested in at least 1 more.

Thanks.

One byte more than what you can put onto a disk is enough :-)

 Similarly for the other tasks.

You mean, if you can mix the three media types? No. You can mix DVD+R 
and +RW but DVD-RAM is treated differently.

 Is there any different setup you would recommend?  I looked into tape

The have much higher capacity, are more reliable, and more robust... I 
prefer tape or, if offsite storage and the ability to endlessly add 
storage count less than speed (and price) disk.

 I'm leaning towards DVD+RW and DVD+R because I know it's supported 
 according to the bacula manual.

Yes, it should work, but I must admit I haven't tried it seriously since 
the first 1.39 versions.

 Has anyone used DVD-RAM

DVD-RAM should usually be used just like a removable disk, i.e. insert 
disk, create filesystem, use, unmount. This is quite different to what 
Bacula does with DVDs.

 with the hardware verification?  I'm not sure 
 how to turn that on/off in Linux since it's just treated as a hard

Right, it takes longer and it's always on. This is not something you can 
turn on or off, AFAIK.

I didn't phrase it properly.  I meant can I backup to several disks of
the same type for one task?  If my daily backup takes 2 DVD+R disks,
is that okay?

  Is there any different setup you would recommend?  I looked into tape
  drives but they are so expensive for the tapes and drives.

I'm not sure I would use the capacity though.

It's about $8 per disk for a Verbatim double sided DVD-RAM disk (9.4
GB) in a cartridge.  Going the tape route would cost far, far more
wouldn't it?

 prefer tape or, if offsite storage and the ability to endlessly add
 storage count less than speed (and price) disk.

I'm not concerned about speed of a tape vs DVD.  I am price conscious
at this point though.  My old (unfortunate) method was a full backup
every 6 months with no incremental backups.  I'm now looking at using
bacula for daily backups and weekly/monthly full backups.

I had a tape drive on an older computer and never used it.  It's
capacity is so small compared to today's hard drives.  It seems to me
that by the time I would want to replace DVD-RAM disks, I would be
ready to upgrade my tape drive to support larger capacity tapes.  By
the time I'm ready to replace the DVD-RAM disks, I could be buying
blu-ray or hd-dvd or whatever is sufficiently cheap at the time.

Let me know if any of this is wrong. :)  I like the bacula manual as
far as setting everything up.  It looks clear how all the parts
integrated and how to write a config file for each part.  What's not
clear is what backup media to choose and what kind of backup
strategies people use.

 Right, it takes longer and it's always on. This is not something you can
 turn on or off, AFAIK.

Oh okay thanks.

[Bacula-users] MaxWaitTime and MaxStartDelay

2007-01-26 Thread James Harper
Since updating to 2.0.0, MaxWaitTime and MaxStartDelay aren't working
for me. The config is:

Job {
  Name = Nightly
  Type = Backup
  Level = Full
  Client = **
  FileSet = FullBackup
  Messages = Standard
  Storage = ExternalDisk
  Pool = Daily
  Schedule = Nightly
  Max Start Delay = 1800
  Max Wait Time = 300
}

And should mean that it should wait up to 5 minutes to put the media in.
It starts out of hours, so if the media isn't in then, it won't be
inserted until morning.

It was Australia Day yesterday, so the USB disk didn't get attached. The
backup started at 22:00, and is still waiting for media... any
suggestions?

status dir:

request



It used to work fine in 1.38.

Thanks

James

Re: [Bacula-users] ? Device is BLOCKED waiting for mount of volume

 Subject: RE: [Bacula-users] ? Device is BLOCKED waiting for 
 mount of volume
 
 Hi Peter,
 
 I could be wrong, but I *think* that is the same problem I 
 experienced when I updated to 2.0.1.  Once a job began, my 
 autochanger would not load the tape it needed.  My solution 
 was to add three lines of code to the /etc/bacula/mtx-changer 
 file on lines 157-159.  I added the following.
 
 if mt -f $device status | grep ONLINE  /dev/null 21; then
   mt -f $device offline
 fi 
 

While the device is showing BLOCKED I can't do any 'mt' commands as it says
that the device is busy.  If I umount, er unmount, in bconsole it will move
the media back to the slot properly even without an explicit unmounting or
offline of the drive.


Thanks for the idea, but this isn't quite my situation as I can tell.

peter
