Well, I've a backup of the bacula database from last weeks full backup
(2007-04-01).

This shows the same value for voluseduration, 345600 (4 days).

COPY media (mediaid, volumename, slot, poolid, mediatype, mediatypeid,
labeltype, firstwritten, lastwritten, labeldate, voljobs, volfiles,

Because recycling and marking of the volume happend after the job
started (at the same minute 00:10), I've no idea if it would make
sense to dump the db in a run before skript before every backup.

I'm using an ntp server, so date and time is ok. The syslog doesn't
show anything unusual at the time it happend.

This seems to mean that all three requirements should be fulfilled in order to 
accept a feature request - which contradicts the initial remarks and the 
consequense seems to be that only developer type of people can request 
something, since they are the ones that can provide patches.

So you must mean that only one of the three requirements must be fulfilled in 
order to accept a patch - right?

in that case it seems to me a good practical way to balance things.

Yes, of course, you are right. I guess, for me this was so implicit that I 
forgot to mention it explicitly :-).  

In fact, this is how more and more features are being implemented -- a 
developer takes an interest in it and starts working on it and either 
produces a patch or has direct SVN write access ...

This looks good. Better than what I experienced.

Ok, so I think we can rule out a version mismatch between OS/kernel, 
system libraries, and user libraries.

It does not sound like that.

Watch out when you are prompted for tape changes - I experienced some 
problems (not yet reported as a bug, but soon - hopefully).

Yep, that's I'd try, too, although this is tricky... you run tcpdump for 
days, produce tons of output, and no error occurs... and then, when the 
error occors, it's on another machine, your tcpdump crashed because the 
file system for the log ws full, or some i killed it because he 
thought it was a forgotten process :-)

If you get a usable dump, you've still got to read and understand it, 
which can be new challenge...

Not that I would want to limit your influence on the Bacula project - I 
think that the achievements clearly show us what your work is worth - 
but that sentence should be changed, I think:

A capable developer thinks the feature is really required or has some 
special merit and is dedicated to work on it. (This moves this phrease 
close to item 3, which is ok, IMO.)

If noone objects, I'll present the existing feature requests to the list

No serious objections. In fact, after I counted the votes I thought we 
had too many feature requests open, too.

Re: [Bacula-users] Feature Request: Layered Jobdefs

[Kern Sibbald]

Although, I am really pleased at seeing lots of people using Bacula, and 
interest in improving it, we seem to be getting a lot of Feature Requests. 
In fact, given our currently very limited programming resources, I feel we 
have way too many feature requests. 

The last time we voted, there were 40, which seems to me to be way too many.  
In the end, it makes it hard to vote, and many of the requests, IMO are 
unlikely to ever be implemented because they are desired only by one or two 
people, and they for many reasons (lack of skills, lack of time, ...) cannot 
contribute the patch.

The last thing in the world I want to do is to "censure" any feature request, 
unless I think it is impossible to implement (then all you need to do is 
provide a algorithm).  Nor do I want to discourage ideas or feature requests, 
but in an effort to keep the projects list to a reasonable number, I propose 
the following new procedure for getting a feature request accepted into the 
projects file:

1. I think the feature request is really required or has some special merit.

2. There are at least six responses that vote for including the feature 
request.

3. The feature request is accompanied by a patch (it is always better to check 
whether the feature is likely to be accepted before spending any great time on 
patches).

The above is actually how it is documented on the web site, but maybe not very 
clearly).  

If anyone has any problems with this new way of trying to deal with the large 
number of requests, please speak up now.

Looks like that...

> I'm a bit lost,

So am I. I checked your probelm description, and I don't see anything 
obvious. I didn't expect anything simple, to be fair :-)

The one thing I would do in your situation is - observe things. If this 
repeats, I would try to get catalog data whenever a job starts, perhaps 
even a dump of the Media table or something... just so you have some 
data to look at. After the error has occured, it's likely Bacula 
modified the catalog entries.

Ok, double-checking is always valuable :-) I found the message "Max 
configured..." only once in the source, so it's safe to assume the 
message is not used out of context.

A look at the source dosn't reveal anything extraordinary, at east to 
me. Unless you asume that the catalog data and the current system time 
might be messed up... is your system time correct, does your catalog 
know about the time zone, and whatever esle might be important?

[Bacula-users] Feature Request: Per-Client priorities

[Darien Hager]

Item 1:   Allow per-client job priority ordering
  Origin: Darien Hager <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
  Date:   Date submitted (e.g. 28 October 2005)
  Status: Initial Request

  What:

Allow an optional per-client priority setting which is applied AFTER  
the current priority scheduling algorithm.


Applies only within the group of waiting jobs (ergo with the same  
global priority) that are also associated with the same Client. The  
higher priority (lower priority number) job will always be run first.  
Applying it only after the global priorities should make  
implementation easier.


  Why:Like the current global priority, allows ordering of jobs  
to be preserved for clients.  Unlike the current system, allows other  
clients to proceed independently of one another so that a single  
client will not hold up others.


  Notes:

Example:

Two clients (1 and 2), with two jobs per client, referred to as job  
types A and B. Under the current system, you can set A's at priority  
10 and B's at priority 11, and have A scheduled to run 10 minutes  
before B. This completes the given requirement that A should always  
precede B on either client, perhaps because they have a run-script  
dependency or significant relative importance.


Let's call the client/job combinations 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, and assume  
that due to differences between the clients, the times taken for each  
job vary, perhaps one client has more of one kind of files than the  
other does, etc. Job times required:


1A: 30 minutes
1B: 10 Minutes
2A: 10 minutes
2B: 30 minutes

Under the current system, all clients will be done in 60 minutes,  
since all A jobs are one block, and all B jobs are a separate block,  
and each block must take as long as it's longest job.


With per-client priorities (and all four jobs under the same global  
priority level) all clients complete within half the time at 30  
minutes, due to removing unnecessary idle time.

The FD would need more artificial intelligence for that - wa wait for

Don't tell that, otherwise Sony will soon claim 1000:1 data compression

[Bacula-users] Feature Request: Layered Jobdefs

[Darien Hager]

Item 1:   Allow Jobdefs to inherit from other Jobdefs
  Origin: Darien Hager <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
  Date:   Date submitted (e.g. 28 October 2005)
  Status: Initial Request

  What:   Allow JobDefs to inherit/modify settings from other JobDefs

  Why:Makes setting up jobs much easier for situations with many  
clients doing similar work


  Notes:

Example: User has several JobDefs which all need Messages=standard,  
Type=Backup, and settings for "Rerun Failed Levels" and "Max * Time".  
This feature would allow those "common" properties to be within a  
single JobDef which each child JobDefs inherits from, before the  
final Job definitions sets further specifics such as Client.


Currently the documentation leaves open the possibility that this can  
be done, but tests with Bacula 2.0.1 suggest that JobDefs entries  
cannot themselves have a JobDefs property.


Technical caveat: Should probably include rudimentary checks against  
a cyclic relationship, such as a limit to the number of allowed layers.

Nobody? I'm a bit lost, my old bacula install worked as expected with
a similar config, so I don't think that I configured bacula-dir wrong.
This new install worked for the last 3 months, other volumes were
recycled and reused as expected.

What could lead to a volume that is recycled and then marked as used
just a couple of seconds afterwards? I double checked, the volume use
duration of this volume is set to 4 days.

Re: [Bacula-users] Wanted: Install with NO dir, just FD and SD.

[Thomas Glatthor]

Hi,

i had the same problem on a solaris-machine which should act as a sd and also 
have a fd installed.
i tried the same: --enable-client-only --build-sd  none works

the solution was --enable-client-only to build the fd and then

cd ./src/stored
make 

make ends with an error because something was required but make don't know how 
to compile the required things,
the error-message points to some other directory (./src/cats ? i don't remember)

"cd ../cats" and "make"

return to "cd ../stored" and "make" build the sd.

cp ./bacula-sd /sbin/

thats was all.



regards

thomas

Ok folks i am at my wits end here have been struggling with this for a couple 
of days now it used to work but i made a few minor changes to the conf files 
and now bacula is broken. 

Is there any known bugs with this version of bacula would upgrading fix my 
problem. I basically copied my conf files from another server i cannot for the 
life of me see anything wrong with them. 

Please help It must be a minor typo or something but i cannot for the life of 
me see it. HELP 

Here is the relevant bits of my bacula-sd.conf

[Bacula-users] Wanted: Install with NO dir, just FD and SD.

[Flak Magnet]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

MainServer's current config:
Solaris 8, Bacula 2.0.2 w/ SD FD and DIR, MySQL, Quantum SL3

New Server's intended config:
Solaris 8, Bacula 2.0.2 w/ SD FD no DIR, Qualstar TLS4210

I'm expanding my organization's use of Bacula.  A newly confuggered
server (using old, repurposed hardware) is going into a different
facility that's connected to our LAN than my "main" bacula installation.
 It has a tape drive attached, so it needs the SD, it's going to be
backing up it's own data, so it needs the FD.  But I'm going to direct
it using the director on my main server, so I don't need the DIR nor a
database for the DIR to use.

Using the "--enable-client-only" option on the configure script doesn't
work, because it only builds the FD.

So what do I do?

I have tried combinations of
"--enable-client-only" and "--enable-build-stored" along with
"--disable-build-dird"

I'm hoping to avoid having to install mysql on the new installation.

Am I missing something somewhere?  Seems like this ought to be pretty
straightforward.

Thanks in advance,

This field is working with the latest svn (or debian) version of bweb with
mysql 5 and postgresql.

This is not in bweb at this time, this list can be very very long... this

We have a french and a spanish translation, to get a german version, just copy
the default tpl files to a "german" directory and translate them :)

[Bacula-users] define a variable in a conf file

[Brian Debelius]

Can I?  How?

I am really getting tired of handling strings like "C:\Documents and 
Settings\All Users\Bacula\whatever" in windows.  Is that a way to set a 
variable in a conf file like path="C:\Documents and Settings\All 
Users\Bacula\whatever"

This procedure or at least something very close is described in the Rescue

Normally, there should be nothing to do other than build Bacula on OpenBSD. 
Now that MTIOCGET has mt_blkno and mt_fileno defined there should be no major 
obstacles. 

Then try running btape.

Re: [Bacula-users] Should tapes drives on windows work?

[Gordon McLellan]

Rex,

If your tape drive lives on the same machine as the director, you can
use the "RunsOnClient=No" directive to make the script run on the
director, which will then run it against the tape drive.

That was the problem I had trying to run scripts which accessed the
tape drive, for some reason, the client won't run scripts that access
the tape drive.  My script is for scheduled ejection and injection of
tapes.  Added the runson bit and now it works like a charm.

Make sure the storage daemon isn't running when you run btape.

net stop bacula-sd

Once you are finished you can start the storage daemon with

Net start bacula-sd

Not sure if this will help the situation, but when I back up Windows 
systems using Bacula I also backup the system state by using the `client 
run before job' command in bacula-dir.conf.

Mine is formatted as follows in bacula-dir.conf:

Client Run Before Job =
"\"c:/Program Files/bacula/bin/systemstate.bat\""

All in one line of course.  On the client machine I have a bat file 
which says:

start /wait ntbackup backup systemstate /F c:\systemstate.bkf
exit 0

When I do a complete restore, I log in as Administrator and then use 
ntbackup to restore the system state as it was.  Afterwards I can log in 
using the user account (no USERNAME.DOMAIN folders are created) and it 
was exactly as it was before.  I never have to mess with any permissions 
at all.  Hope that helps.

Re: [Bacula-users] Building bacula on OpenBSD

[Brian A. Seklecki]

It looks like some significant improvements have been made to st(4):

http://www.openbsd.org/plus41.html

"Make the st(4) SCSI Tape midlayer return values when receiving a
MTIOCGET ioctl, allows things like Bacula to work much"

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/scsi/st.c

Thank you for all who contributed to that.  Should we return attention
to getting a comprehensive Bacula port committed?

[Bacula-users] [Hint] corrupt ext3 filesystem forces giant job (_no_ problem)

[Robert Wirth]

Hi!

FYIO: (Still) running bacula 1.38.11, I've found an interesting effect
last night.  On a system with 35 GB disk space, running SuSE Linux 10.1,
Bacula tried to save a some-TB job.  The backup was canceled after 1.2 TB 
were written to the SD due to the MaxRunTime directive.  I don't know if 
it had terminated else as long as tape medias were available... 

The cause is simple:  there was an error in the ext3 filesystem.  There
was an inode claimed to be some TB big.   fsck recognized that when I 
search for the cause.  But bacula-fd can't, obviously.  Before correction
with fsck, the effect was reproducible, i.e. the next backup job would
have run in the same way.

Fortunately, the virtual mega-file consisted of only few different bytes
(or of one byte only).  Thus, the hardware compression of my tape drive 
filled that 1.2 TB in short tape space.

Best,

Robert

Max Volume Jobs is not designed as a concurrency control, so is unlikely to 
function as such, and as I mentioned will for that reason likely have race 
problems.

I believe that is what I implied above.  Try it and see :-)

OK. I had thought that with Max Volume Jobs = 1 there could only be one 
job writing to a volume, since a device can have only one volume 
mounted, and that any other jobs would have to wait on the device 
because they would require a different volume. So Maximum Concurrent 
Jobs = 1 in the Storage resource will always prevent interleave?

 One way is to use Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 in  
 the Pool resource definition. This will cause a new volume (ie. file) to 
 be used for each job that is run.

Even in such case it didn't help.Even for owner all setting is
forgotten. Is it possible to recover data withoou setting permissions?

Thanks. However to few files even super users have no access...
The UID's changed after reinstallation of Windows and few users who do
not exist have full controll over them.

In relabeling the tape, you destroyed the data on the beginning of the tape.

You might try adding the -p option on the bscan line, but I doubt that will 
help.

If you understand tape formats very well, and research the Bacula archives, 
you *might* be able to recover some data from the tape, but it is not an easy 
process.

Good luck

[Bacula-users] Restore relabel tape

[Olivier Exbrayat]

Hello,

How restore from a tape relabeled with the command relabel ?

When i use the following command bscan :
bscan -V 'NewName' -v -s -m -c bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0

I have this message : 
bscan: bscan.c:406 Volume is prelabeled. This tape cannot be scanned.

Thank you for your help.

Have you disabled "simple file sharing" from folder options? Also, I hope 
you're not using FAT32 ;)

What do you mean? If you check for folder's security, you can add/remove local 
users there for every kind of access permissions. I'm just checking Windows 
2000 and there's option: Security -> Advanced -> Owner -> Replace owner on 
subcontainers and objects. I would try playing with it :)

Well, I guess you still have to overlook the restored folder's access 
permissions - change the owner of the folder and apply it recursively etc.

Re: [Bacula-users] Controlling concurrent jobs

[Stephen Carr]

Dear Josh

I am running concurrent backups to a Firewire attached 1 TB disc with he 
Max Concurrent Jobs set to 5 ( in my situation it seems the optimal value ).

The Incremental jobs stay on the disc for 6 weeks but the Full backups 
are migrated to tape.

I also have the problem with slow clients - usually they are running a 
long simulation program when they are being backed up.

I have not had a problem with the interleaved blocks - when the data is 
migrated to tape the Job interleaving is "removed". OK it can take some 
time to write the Full backups to tape.

I am using 2.0.3 since rease and the 1 TB disc for 2 weeks.

Stephen Carr

 One way is to use Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 in  
 the Pool resource definition. This will cause a new volume (ie. file) to 
 be used for each job that is run.

[Bacula-users] cannot delete/cancel running jobs

[Luca Ferrari]

Hi all,
I've got the following running jobs in the status of a storage:
Running Jobs:
Writing: Full Backup job sede_samba_job JobId=36 Volume=""
pool="Default" device=""sede_storage" (/backup/sede/)"
Files=7,606 Bytes=865,540,986 Bytes/sec=2,603
FDReadSeqNo=86,140 in_msg=64080 out_msg=5 fd=5
Writing: Incremental Backup job sede_coge_job JobId=38 Volume=""
pool="Default" device=""sede_storage" (/backup/sede/)"
Files=0 Bytes=0 Bytes/sec=0
FDReadSeqNo=6 in_msg=6 out_msg=5 fd=10
Writing: Incremental Backup job sede_coge_job JobId=39 Volume=""
pool="Default" device=""sede_storage" (/backup/sede/)"
Files=0 Bytes=0 Bytes/sec=0
FDReadSeqNo=6 in_msg=6 out_msg=5 fd=11

but I cannot either cancel or delete them, and thus cannot start another 
backup job (since it will be enqueued after the above). Any idea? I've tried 
to restart the file daemon and the director but nothing changed.
Thanks,
Luca

Most of the time, this might be because of a timing problem - the 
autochanger is ready, mtx-changer thinks everything's ok, but the tape 
drive has not recognized the tape, so subsequent reads fail.

Check your mtx-changer - it should use the wait_for_drive function, or 
at least use a long sleep time after loading a tape.

Forgive me for not looking very closely at your job output - the volume 
names are too similar for me right now :-)

Anyway, what does your catalog say is loaded?

With 1.36 (and you should consider an upgrade!) there is, AFAIR, no 
out-of-the box query for the volumes inside the autochanger... if it is, 
try it.

Did you manually change the changers contents and forgot the 'update 
slots' command? This is the only reason I encountered for a catalog not 
matching the actual slot inventory...

As long as governments allow patents on ideas rather than physical inventions 
as they were originally intended to protect, I have no problem with companies 
obtaining patents for original works such as yourself or IBM as a means of 
protection (too bad it has to be done), providing they clearly indicate in 
the license that the patent can be freely used.

[Bacula-users] fatal error I can't figure out..

[Maria McKinley]

Hello,

I can't quite figure out what happened here. I have occasionally had the 
problem that the bacula mounts a tape, and then can't seem to tell that 
it is mounted. When this happens, usually it says it can't find any 
media, and I eject the tape back into the autochanger by hand, and have 
bacula re-mount and this solves the problem. This seems a bit different, 
but can't tell really tell what happened or how to prevent it next time. 
It seems like it got confused as to what volumes were in what slots. D1 
was in slot 5 and D3 in slot 6.

Seems like I should erase these tapes, and re-run the backup?

cheers,
maria

[Bacula-users] Why did bacula mark a volume as used (voluseduration)?

[Ralf Gross]

Hi,

bacula-dir 2.0.3, bacula-sd 2.0.3, bacula-fd 2.0.2, debian etch amd64,
postgres 8.1.7

Bacula is running fine here for a while. But this weekend bacula
chose to use fresh tape from the scratch pool for job #2 of a diff backup
instead of appending the data to the tape it was writing to a few
minutes before by the first of the two jobs.

Here are the two jobs:

Job {
  Name = "SMTCZB0003"
  Type = Backup
  Client = SMTCZB0003
  FileSet = "SMTCZB0003"
  Schedule = "Regular Backup"
  Storage = NEC-T40A
  Messages = "Regular Backup"
  Pool = Default
  SpoolData=yes
  Write Bootstrap = "/opt/bacula/var/bacula/working/SMTCZB0003.bsr"
  Priority = 5
  RunBeforeJob = "/usr/bin/ssh [snip]"
  RunAfterJob = "/usr/bin/ssh [snip]"
}

Job {
  Name = "VU0EM003"
  Type = Backup
  Client = VU0EM003
  FileSet = "VU0EM003 Full"
  Schedule = "Regular Backup"
  Storage = NEC-T40A
  Messages = "Regular Backup"
  Pool = Default
  SpoolData=yes
  Write Bootstrap = "/opt/bacula/var/bacula/working/VU0EM003.bsr"
  Priority = 10
}

..and the schedule:

Schedule {
  Name = "Regular Backup"
  Run = Level=Full Pool=Full 1st sun at 00:05
  Run = Level=Differential Pool=Differential FullPool=Full 2nd-5th sun at 00:05
  Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Incremental DifferentialPool=Differential 
FullPool=Full tue-sat at 00:05
}

Both jobs have the same start time, but different priorities.


llist volumes shows 

 volretention: 2,678,400 <--- (31 days)
   voluseduration: 345,600   <--- (4 days)

for all tapes in the diff pool



This is what happend this weekend:

That's fine, I expected volume 06D124L3 to be overwritten at this time.

08-Apr 00:10 VU0EM005: Max configured use duration exceeded. Marking Volume 
"06D124L3" as Used.

But I don't know what happend at this point. Why does bacula mark volume
06D124L3 as used right after the job started. The configured duration time
is 4 days, I checked this.

About 2.

If Windows detects user's folder that is not created by Windows itself (e.g. 
some ID is wrong somewhere), it creates another folder in 
form "username.domain" or smth. If you want your user's folder to be in form 
of "username", I suggest you rename the restored folder into smth 
like "username.bak", let Windows create appropriate folder and then copy all 
the restored files-folders into the new folder.
