There are many approaches, mostly, it depends on your own preferences.

I've done this several times, and what I found that suited me the best was to
move the conf files over to the new server, then install the new version 
(2.0.3) of Bacula, move and upgrade the database, then modify the conf files 
appropriately (typically a change of Director name, and possibly SD).  Then 
after shutting down the old Bacula, but keeping everything in place, I could 
test the new server with *different* Volumes until I was happy.  

If it doesn't work, you simply shutdown the new Bacula restart the old Bacula 
and the next day, move and upgrade the database again and work on it until 
you are satisfied.  Once it works, you either keep the new Volume you used 
for testing, or simply move and upgrade the old database again.

Kern

OK, thanks. This time, the problem is crystal clear.  The above describes what 
I need to know/understand.

I haven't looked at the code, but I suspect that some of the startup code was 
moved earlier in the process.  In general this was done so that the catalog 
entries are more complete if the job is subsequently cancelled before it is 
actually started.  

In this case, if this is what happen

[Bacula-users] Windows backup failure

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

I have just recently set up Bacula to backup a Windows 2003 server. The setup is a bit unusual -
Bacula Director is run on an Ubuntu 6.06 server and is version 1.36.3
The File Director is run on a Windows Small Business Server 2003
The Storage Director is run on a Windows 2000 system using an HP DAT72 device. I have run the test on this system and it works without error.
Using the documentation and various tutorial notes, I have tried to set up the .conf file correctly. From the message I received it appears this is not the case:-

[Bacula-users] verify job fails, must init catalog run twice?

[Stephan Ebelt]

Hello,

I see this for quite a while now and it does not seem to disappear with 
2.0.1... maybe someone has the same problem?

yesterday I was upgrading my system and ran a "InitCatalog" manually 
thereafter. This morning my regular verify job failed with reporting that 
some hundred files have changed (all in /lib, /sbin and /usr - stuff updated 
by rpm).

2007-03-13 08:37:11 bender.in.oldnewyork: verify-bender.2007-03-13_08.30.00
[...]
Error: Bacula 2.0.1 (12Jan07): 13-Mar-2007 08:37:11
  JobId:                  183
  Job:                    verify-bender.2007-03-13_08.30.00
  FileSet:                verify-bender
  Verify Level:           Catalog
  Client:                 bender-verify

  Non-fatal FD errors:    0
  FD termination status:  OK
  Termination:            *** Verify Error ***


now I repeated the very same procedure: manual "InitCatalog" job, then the 
regular (but this time manually started) verify job. This time it went OK. No 
differences found. I bet that tomorrows automatic verify job will also 
terminate OK as that is what always happened previously.

13-Mar 11:45 bender.in.oldnewyork: Bacula 2.0.1 (12Jan07): 13-Mar-2007

  Files Examined: 49,803
  Non-fatal FD errors:0
  FD termination status:  OK
  Termination:Verify OK


to me it looks like InitCatalog must run twice before all changes are known 
and the regular verify behaves the way it should.

(note: I have not done any changes to the system between the two jobs and auto 
update is disabled. I am not running a virus scanner or anything else that 
could touch the files).

regards,
Stephan

[Bacula-users] Spooling questions

[rfwhite]

We had an adventure Friday. We had errors in backup and
later, when re-starting the server, in MySQL. To make a long
story short, it turned out that the disk was full. I
eventually found the culprits. They were spool files from
past jobs. I suppose that those jobs failed for one reason
or another and the spool files remained. Deleting them fixed
my immediate problem but left me with two questions.

1) Is it possible for Bacula to write such an "orphan" spool
file to tape?

2) Spooling differential jobs to disk makes perfect sense,
for reasons explained in the manual. On full backups, does
Bacula de-spool from disk at the same time that the FD is
spooling data to the disk? This seems to be what happens, as
I can see tape activity pretty much right away on full
backup jobs, but my boss wonders about this.

[Bacula-users] wx-console is bent

[rfwhite]

I have been using wx-console on my W2K workstation to check
daily backups for some time now. For the last two days,
though, when I start it, a button gets placed on the task
bar, but that is all; no interactive window, can't switch to
it or anything. The conf file is correct and there is an
entry in my hosts file for the Bacula server.

This behavior seems to coincide with that described in the
previous post, but since that one has been fixed, why would
this persist?

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula-users Digest, Vol 10, Issue 164

[Thomas Arseneault]

I got the same thing, it turned out that the upgrade installed in
/etc/bacula while my previous install was in /usr/local/etc/bacula. The
binaries were separate because one set was in /usr/local/sbin while the
other was in /sbin. If I execute the commands from /etc/bacula
everything worked fine. See if that's your issue.

it because the release notes state that the update

Bill, I have been maintaining the bacula-fd package in fink for a few  
months now, and it's current. Check under "unstable". I am not sure  
why it's under unstable, but if you give your feedback I am sure we  
can get it promoted to stable. As always ymmv, but at least bacula-fd  
has been working fine for me (outside of an unrelated network problem  
that is still giving me fits).

Re: [Bacula-users] rpm error

[Scott Barninger]

PS. No, the rpm packages can only do a single database version upgrade.
If an older version is detected it will abort and instruct the user to
upgrade the database with the scripts in the updatedb package.

[Bacula-users] Fichier de configuration

[David Feuilloy]

Bonjour,

Voila ce que je cherche à faire.

J'ai 6 bandes de sauvegardes
Je voudrais sauvegarder un répertoire complet (/home) tous les jours sur une 
bande et réutiliser les bandes chaque semaine.
La 6eme bande je l'utiliserais une semaine sur deux afin d'avoir un backup sur 
2 semaines.
N'étant pas d'une rigueur exemplaire j'aimerais que les bande soient nommées 
automatiquement et recyclées automatiquement.

Mon problème actuel est que j'ai nommé les bandes et je ne sais pas comment 
géré la demande de bande dans le scheduller. Il me demande des bandes 
différentes.

Quelqu'un aurait t'il déjà effectué ce genre de configuration

Semaine 1 Lundi Mardi Mercredi Jeudi Vendredi1
Semaine 2 on écrase Lundi puis Mardi puis Mercredi puis Jeudi Vendredi2
Semaine 3  on écrase Lundi puis Mardi puis Mercredi puis Jeudi puis Vendredi1
Semaine 4  on écrase Lundi puis Mardi puis Mercredi puis Jeudi puis Vendredi2

Si on ne change pas la bande par un oubli malheureux renommer la bande avec le 
nom ou la date du jour et sauvegarde du jour

Merci d'avance

[Bacula-users] Configuration question

[David Feuilloy]

Hello,
Well what I seek to do.

I have 6 backup tapes I would like to safeguard a complete repertory
(/home) the every day on a tape and to re-use the bands each week.
The 6th band I would use it one week out of two in order to have a
backup over 2 weeks.
Not being exemplary rigour I would like that the band are named
automatically and recycled automatically.
My current problem is that I named the bands and I do not know how not
managed the request for band in the scheduller.
It asks me different bands.
Somebody would have you it already carried out this kind of
configuration 

Week 1 Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday 1
Week 2 one crushes Monday then Tuesday then Wednesday then Thursday
Friday 2 Week 3 one crushes Monday then Tuesday then Wednesday then
Thursday then Friday 1
Week 4 one crushes Monday then Tuesday then Wednesday then Thursday then
Friday 2
If one does not change the band by an unhappy lapse of memory :
I would like that the band is famous the name or the current date and
that the safeguard crushes the safeguard of the day before.

Thank you in advance

[Bacula-users] bacula-2.0.3

[Alexander Marx]

Hi,
I searched for two days and didn't find a solution. Maybe you could give me a 
solution.

OS:
Kubuntu 6.10, bacula 2.0.3 from sf.net, compiled with all options, backup 
works well.

Storage:
NFS share mounted over gbit network

Backup works relative fine (20GB/hour) 

CLIENT:
Windows 2003 standardserver with bacula2.0.3 client installed(all options)



PROBLEM:
SPEED. When i try to restore a little job (1,4MB) it takes about 5 Min to 
complete. The win bacula-client tells me something about a transferrate of 
6,345 Byte/s ???

Backup works fine with 4-6MB/sec but the restore is very slow (unusable).
I have another backupjob, which is over 16GB large. When i should restore this 
job, it would take weeks!

I tried to restore with wx-console, bconsole and bweb/brestore.pl. All options 
the same result:
SLOW,SLOW,SLOW!

Please help. What am i missing? The clients are only installed without changes 
to any OS-options.

The Windows2003 standardserver are used as terminalservers which should not 
matter.

HARDWARE:
1 KUBUNTU6.10 with bacula (Director,SD,FD) and a nfs mounted share from a NAS 
Server (Open-E).
5 Windows 2003 Server standard 

All servers have 1000mbit nics and are connected to a gbit switch.

thanx in advance


Alex

Re: [Bacula-users] Change in verification job tape selection time - deliberate or accidental?

[Michel van Schaik]

Hi,

We have seen the same behaviour as described below. When a Verify job is 
scheduled to run before the last Backup job is finished, it will not 
verify the backup that was running but the previous job that already was 
finished at schedule time. So you have to make sure that a backup job is 
finished before you can start a verify job of that backup Job in the new 
version (2.0.x). The difference with 1.38.x is that with that version 
the verify job picked the Backup job when it was starting the verify 
Job, and with the 2.0.x version it is picking the Backup job at Schedule 
time.
You can verify this behaviour when you start a backup and verify job 
(with different priority) at the same time. The verify job will not 
verify the backup job that was started at the same time, but is finished 
before the verify will start.
At the moment we don't schedule a verify job but we schedule an Admin 
Job with a Runafter shellscript that will start the verify job, so that 
the verify job will absolutely sure start after the backup job is finished.
We are running version 2.0.2 at the moment, so maybe the behaviour is 
changed in the 2.0.3 version, I didn't check, but as mentioned above we 
found a way to do a verify of the correct backup tape.

K.Regards,
Michel van Schaik

Ah, thanks, I completely missed that point :)

Unfortunately that suggestion was already turned down. It is certainly the best 
way to retain backup 
integrity IMO. But the off-site is outside of my control and the requirement is 
to have the actual 
directory and file structure readily accessible, hence the "restore".

I agree, but again that idea fails in this case because of a lack of control 
I'm afraid.

Thanks anyhow, at least I know that I will not be waisting time with the 
output-to-file-and-parse-with-
Perl idea :)

one more addition: the "special" thing on my setup is that its using *two* 
catalogs. One for backup jobs, one for verify jobs. Could that confuse 
bacula?

It looks like the sendmail (or sendmail-compatible) process on your
backup server doesn't like the from address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" when Bacula
is trying to send mail. Try changing the "%r" entry in the "mailcommand"
line of your bacula-dir.conf with a valid email address.

Thanks for your help in advance - to not pollute the whole list with
my configuration, i have put them online (reducted to the interesting
parts):

http://www.73f.de/temp/bacula/

BTW: If i didn't mention it yet - the same FileSet used for this host
is working on some other windows based clients with success. Only this
one host makes that problem...

First of all: It's not necessary to post the same post three times.
This won't make you get faster answers - it just annoys people and
might lead to a complete ignorance of your request.

This doesn't seem to be a bacula problem, but more a problem with your
SMTP configuration.

I think you should check every log file for why the "Mail program
terminated in error". A first step would be to add something valid as
sender address (the one behind the -f switch), for example something
like that:

Messages {
  Name = Daemon
  mailcommand = "/usr/local/sbin/bsmtp -h localhost -f \"\(Bacula\)
%r\" -s \"Bacula daemon message\" %r"
  mail = [EMAIL PROTECTED] = all, !skipped
  console = all, !skipped, !saved
  append = "/var/db/bacula/log" = all, !skipped
}

[Bacula-users] Question on mailcommand

[John BORIS]

I am having a bit of a problem getting the mailcommand setup properly.
Here is what I have now:

  mailcommand = "/root/bacula/bin/bsmtp -h jc.mydomain.org -f
\"\(Bacula\) [EMAIL PROTECTED]" -s \"Bacula: %t %e of %c %l\"
%r"
  operatorcommand = "/root/bacula/bin/bsmtp -h jc.mydomain.org -f
\"\(Bacula\) [EMAIL PROTECTED]" -s \"Bacula: Intervention
needed for %j\" %r"


When the mail shows up at my mail server jc.mydomain.org it is
malformed and is in this form:

@jerome:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 

This format is screwing up my email server.

Should that say [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED]


I am hesitant to start modifying the line because I am not sure which "
is required and which isn't.  

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

[Bacula-users] Omitting directories from backup

[Jeff T]

Hi, guys.

I'm doing a fairly standard backup of home directories on a linux
system. My users store their email in Maildirs (one directory per
folder) and each has a Spam folder which holds the spam delivered by the
mail server. I'm using a lot of backup space backing up spam, and I'd
like to avoid that.

As an example, the directory structure looks like:

/home
/home/bob
/home/bob/Maildir
/home/bob/Maildir/Spam
/home/bob/Maildir/Spam/cur (this is where the files really are)
/home/jeff
/home/jeff/Maildir/Spam
/home/jeff/Maildir/Spam/cur (ditto)

What I am doing now is backing up /home which backs up everything, of
course. I'd like to backup /home but omit /home/*/Maildir/Spam and all
folders under, so skip:

/home/*/Maildir/Spam and
/home/*/Maildir/Spam/*

Is this possible in bacula? I saw some stuff for omitting directories or
files, but it wasn't clear if I could set it up like this.

Thanks
Jeff

Jeff,

have a look at the "exclude = " option.

Why not take the reverse approach of only backing those up, or are you
assuming that different systems may have them on different drives?

Re: [Bacula-users] exclude all but one folder on windows

[Naufal Zamir]

No I am only talking about one single system.

I am not sure. If I only use the inlcude option and define only the two
desired folders, will bacula only backup those and exclude everything else?
Do you mean something like following?


FileSet {
 Name = "client009-fileset"
 Enable VSS=yes
 Include {
   Options {
 signature = SHA1
 portable = no
 IgnoreCase = yes
}
   File = "C:/Document and Settings"
   File = "C:/Program Files
 }

Thanks and regards

[Bacula-users] Limit incremental backups to ONE drive

[Adam Cécile]

Hello,

Due to speed requirement I use both two drives of my PV132T to run full
weekly backups.
However, I made daily incremental backups too, on monday to tuesday and
now two tapes are required (due to the use of both drives).
Is there anyway to limite incremental backups to one drive ?

Thanks in advance,
Best regards, Adam.

[Bacula-users] Fw: Rif: Re: Change tape problem

[Ferdinando Pasqualetti]

Hi everybody,
I am following Arno's suggestion about
a problem in writing additional tapes started with 1.38.11 and persisting
in 2.0.2. Arno's idea is that the problem could be on tape or OS and maybe
he is right,  but the same hardware/OS with 1.36.3 did not have the
problem (it could also be a hardware failure in the meantime, but apparently
all the rest works).
What I think happen is that once  there
have been an ERNOSPC writing a tape block the last block is correctly reread
and the tape changed by the autochanger with a prelabelled tape, the the
label is rewritten (or skipped, I do not know) and when the block is written
on the new tape it get again the ERNOSPC error. This is reported again
as an EOT, but the last block control fails and the job fails too.
I have also made a very small modification
to the block.c routine (I am not a programmer and more then that I am not
a C programmer, so this change is not correct for sure, even if it solves
the problem in some way). The change is:

532d531
<    if (dev->file ==
0) { dev->clrerror(-1); }

that simply means (I hope) "clear
all errors before writing the block if this is the first tape file"
That because the write continues to
get the errors until an EOF is written. Because the file is normally around
1 Gb this slows down performance to 20-25% during this phase, but I can
deal with it.

What I would like to know is if this
behaviour is really an hardware/firmare/OS problem according to your opinion
and if the block routine could br made more resilient in some way (EOF
mark at tape end, Closing and reopening of fd or whatever).

Many thanks if you would like to give
me an asnswer and very many thanks anyway for this great package.

You'd better discuss this at bacula-devel, I think, or send Kern a mail

explaining the problem and the resolution.

That sounds like a bug, either in the hardware or the HBA driver.

Difficult problem, I think.

If this is a hardware or driver problem, I don't think modifying the SD

code is the right solution.

If it works for you - fine, but it might be that you have to manage that

patch for your installation yourself.

If you are using a schedule for your incremental backups, and assuming
you have 2 storage resources listed in your director config (one for
each drive), you could add a Storage override directive to the
incremental schedule to use only one of those 2 drives.

Hi,

The problem is the PV132 is an autochanger with two LOT3 drives.
So I have only one "storage" directive.

[Bacula-users] autochanger still requesting a volume/tape?

[Jonathan Fine]

Hi,

I'm a new bacula user.  Already have bacula setup to do some disk based
backups(which work great), now i want to use a tape library with
autochanger for some other clients.  I'm pretty sure I have everything
setup right, but for some reason when I run a test backup to tape, I
still get this:

bserv-sd: Please mount Volume "12" on Storage Device "AITDrive0"
(/dev/st0) for Job etctape.2007-03-12_14.31.02

I'm pretty sure I have 'autochanger = yes' in all the appropriate files
and places.

Any ideas?



thanks,



Jon

[Bacula-users] very slow backup (database update ?)

[Dirk Kleinhesselink]

I've been running bacula 1.38 on my linux fileserver with 2 exabyte
magnum LTO-3 libraries for several months and I recently had problems
with a couple of full backups failing due to lost communication with
the FD daemon.  I was writing directly to the tape drive and decided to
try data spooling to improve data transfer to the LTO-3 drive and setup
a 250GB disk area for the spool. Last night I ran a full backup of a 
350GB disk area and it started around 2AM and was still running this
morning.  I could see that it had done one 250GB chunk and was on the
remaining 100GB chunk, which finished dumping to the disk spool area in
more or less reasonable time and then seemed to be spooled to the tape
device - in perhaps not as ideal a time, but nonetheless finished and then
no more data is being sent to the tape drive, the intermediate spool file
has been deleted, but the job still isn't finished.  Status says it is
still running and the SD status says it is:
Attr spooling: 1 active jobs, 2,153,030,897 bytes, 3 total jobs, 
2,188,188,495 max bytes.

I got curious and wondered if it was related to the database, so I 
checked its status and I can see the time being updated on the bacula 
sqlite database file.  The first byte counter in the SD status Attr line 
is decreasing, but very, very slowly.

Does anyone know what the job is now doing (updating the database, 
presumably) ? And why should it be taking so long ?

Some more information - prior to the full backup, I had a running
job that was an incremental that had been promoted to a full of about
27GB.  This job also did the data spool to disk and then spool to tape
in "reasonable time" but then took more than 4 hours to complete the
Attr spooling part.

Thanks for any assistance,

Dirk

Yup, see the manual section on FileSet:

Re: [Bacula-users] Difference Between "Archive" and "Read-Only" Volume Status?

[Jason King]

Not 100% sure, but archived volumes probably stay archived until their 
rentention period is up, then they would go into recycle which would 
then allow bacula to use them. Read-Only is set by the user and bacula 
will never change that attribute.

 All,

 Could someone tell me if there is a difference in the way that Bacula 
 handles volumes with the status "Archive" and the status "Read-Only"?  
 Does any data get removed from the database with "Archive"?  I have 
 some files I want to pertinently archive on a volume that I am going 
 to take out of rotation, but I don't want to remove them from the 
 database, that way I can restore quickly if I need to.

 Also, does "Disabled" remove the information for that volume from the 
 database?  Thanks!

Re: [Bacula-users] Difference Between "Archive" and "Read-Only" Volume Status?

[Mike Seda]

Well, I think VolStatus=Archive is implemented. The latest 
rel-bacula.pdf says:

"If the Volume has another status, such as Archive, Read-Only, Disabled, 
Busy, or
Cleaning, the Volume status will not be changed to Purged."

And, Kern told me to "Be sure to mark the tapes you are taking offsite 
as Archive."

I may be speaking from old information. I've been dutifully setting my
archive tapes to archive nonetheless, and setting read-only on tapes
that are likely to get inserted but shouldn't be used for whatever
reason. Nice to know at some point they started to do something!

(I've been using Bacula since 1.36.3 and a lot has changed!)

You don't mention your version, but later versions do not use

Take a look at the manual where the Autochanger{} section is explained.

Well I've already updated my config to implement option 1 as a 'workaround', 
and am happy to trigger my verifies that way. I've scheduled a 'TriggerVerify' 
admin job that will run after the backup is complete and launch the verify. I 
used this as I believe using a RunScript within the backup job wouldn't work as 
the backup job will still be 'running' when the verify job is scheduled, so 
it'll  still automatically select the previous nights job.

Also, I personally feel the current implementation isn't as intuitive as how it 
worked in 1.38.11 - however this can probably be dealt with by appropriate 
documentation within the manual. It comes down to the difference in scheduled 
time and start time under Bacula. Especially when you throw priorities into the 
mix. You might schedule a job to start at 23:15, but you can stop it running 
until after the backup job finishes using priorities. Seems to me that if 
you've setup your job to me, you are most likely going to want to verify the 
job that just ran.

What I would *really* like to see is the ability to set which job gets verified 
by jobid - Currently I can say "Verify job 'BackupCatalog' but I cant say 
"Verify last nights/weeks/months/whatever 'BackupCatalog' job"

This would aid in resource scheduling IMO - in my case my full backups take up 
most of Saturday, and there is barely enough time to perform the verifies 
before Saturday nights incremental backups start - it would be nice to be able 
to schedule the verify jobs for Sunday when the tape drive is otherwise idle.

A nice side effect of the changed behaviour is that I can now achieve this.

This probably needs to be a feature request doesn't it - or is there one in 
already that covers it?

Just had another thought - is this change limited to VolumeToCatalog verifies, 
or was it applied across the board to all verify job types? Seems to me, that 
it would be a lot easier to overlook the fact that your verify job is actually 
verifying the previous nights backup if tapes aren't involved.

If I get time today I'll look into the documentation and see if I can come up 
with a suitable addition explaining this situation. I might even throw in a 
feature request if one doesn't already exist.

Cheers,


Troy.
