[Bacula-users] Serious restore problem
(This is the second post of Volume data error. I am stuck trying to
figure this out.)
Hello mailinglist!
I am happily running bacula 1.36.2 on debian sarge for two years now.
One client is a Windows 2000 MVS NT 5.0.2195. I am getting the following
errors during a restore job to create a monthly snapshot of its backup.
The job worked well until this month.
What is going wrong? Can it be similar to this one:
http://www.mail-archive.com/bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg20622.html
The following facts are of interest:
- Error is always the same (same address, checksums and block), although
the volume can be different and there have been Full backups in between
tries.
- The backup is successful
- Other large restore jobs work well from the same disk
- No I/O errors on either FD or SD, scandisk shows no errors on client
- Same error when running 'restore all' or bextract
- The restore client FD is on the server
- Communications run over stunnel and filesets are GZIPped
- Storage is a file on a md RAID1
- Disks are two Maxtor 6B300S0
- Controller is a Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3114 [SATALink/SATARaid]
The error in bacula:
13-Apr 17:46 SERVER-sd: CLIENT-snapshot.2007-04-13_17.46.00 Error:
block.c:304 Volume data error at 0:383349411! Block checksum mismatch in
block 5715: calc=4d849bb9 blk=5b9137bf
The error with bextract -p and the most recent bootstrap:
13-Apr 18:27 bextract: Ready to read from volume
CLIENT-backup-2006-06-26 on device /opt/bacula1/CLIENT.
13-Apr 18:27 bextract: bextract Error: block.c:304 Volume data error at

13-Apr 18:30 bextract: End of all volumes.
13-Apr 18:30 bextract: bextract Error: 39 block read errors not printed.
4158 files restored.
An upgrade to debian etch is imminent, along with bacula 2.0.3. If this
is a bug or missing feature in this older version, a hint is appreciated
to get my partner pull the switch.
The restore job:
Job {
Name = CLIENT-snapshot
Type = Restore
Client = SERVER-fd
Fileset = CLIENT-set
Storage = CLIENT-storage
Schedule = CLIENT-snapshot-schedule
Priority = 8
Pool = Default
Messages = Standard
Where = /tmp/CLIENT-snapshot
Bootstrap = /var/lib/bacula/CLIENT.bsr
ClientRunAfterJob = /etc/bacula/CLIENT-snapshot
}
The backup job:
Job {

FileSet = CLIENT-set
Storage = CLIENT-storage
Write Bootstrap = /var/lib/bacula/CLIENT.bsr
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Schedule = weekly-cycle1
Messages = Standard
Pool = Default
Priority = 6
}
Help is appreciated.

[Bacula-users] Autochanger in IBM TS3310
Hello, I'm preparing the installation of bacula on a server which is connected to TS3310 library. At this moment I have some problems with autochanger. I can use an IBMtapeutil - IBM tool for library (tape/changer) management. Unfortunately it is not compatible with mtx. I'd like to ask if someone uses/used this library with bacula and can give me some hins or suggesions. For now I suppose I'll have to rewrite 'mtx-changer' as a wrapper around IBMtapeutil, but perhaps there is a simpler solution for this?

I'm guessing here... but perhaps you could try a Verify job with
Level=DiskToCatalog? I'm not sure quite what the output will look
like or whether you can parse it, but it should compare the current
disk state to the state from a previous backup.
If fileset's options{} block has a verify=p, that would check only
the permission bits, and not hashes, modification times, etc. The
default is pin5, so permission changes (even if nothing else is
different) should result in some sort of reporting.
Other alternatives include pulling the data from the catalog with SQL
queries...

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.

devices.
I tried the following:
Device {

AutomaticMount = yes
AlwaysOpen = yes
RemovableMedia = yes
RandomAccess = no

file and contains:
@echo off

%MT% -f %1 setblk 0
%MT% -f %1 compression 1
When I run a job, my init_dlt script does not get called. My script
works if I just run it (I can tell because when I run it, the
compression indicator lights up on the tape drive.) Any suggestions?

Mucking around with the console I noticed I could set the level of a backup job to Base or Since. There is some mention of Base backups as being vaporware as of 1.30 within the FAQ, but otherwise the manual doesn't seem to have that much on these options. Is Base is some sort of variation on a Full backup, and Since backs up files added and changed after a specified date?

[Bacula-users] Is there a way to pool tape drives?
I have 3 stand alone DLT drives (no changers.) I would like to define a backup job that can treat these drives as a pool and span across them. Is this possible? The reason I want this is that I have a backup job that will not fit on one tape. I would like to put a tape in each drive and have bacula write to the first tape and then write to the second tape as needed, without operator intervention. I was thinking about trying to lie to bacula and tell it that it has a changer with multiple drives and no slots, but I don't know if that would work? Has anyone tried this or have any suggestions?

I may fiddle with pulling stuff from the DB, but another possibility is to just restore the files to a seperate temporary location. If space is tight, a script could and have a script periodically cat /dev/null over the ones that are done being written... For example: find /var/temprestore/ -type f -and -mmin +5 -and -size +1 Should list all normal files in the directory that were not modified within the last five minutes and take up more than one block on the disk as candidates for space-saving wiping during the restore process. After that it should be possible to have a script iterate over all the files in the temp directory, get their permission bits, and apply them to the corresponding file in the real directory if it exists. -- --Darien A.

Re: [Bacula-users] appropriate data spool size for tape
Dave I'm getting my Quantum Dlt 4000 going with bacula. I've Dave included my definitions below and the job that i'm running. I'm Dave not getting very good performance with the spool, the drive Dave starts and stops quite frequently, it is on an Adaptec Ultrawide Dave 2940 scsi controller. I was wondering the optimal size of a tape Dave data spool? I've got a single DLT7000 at home and I was running with a spool of around 7gb and it made alot of difference. Being able to push the incrementals totally to disk, then spool them off a tape speed increased my capacity on the tapes, and I also don't hear nearly as much shoe-shining when backups are running. For the DLT4000, which only holds 20gb native, I'd say 5gb would be fine. Of course if you have more space, then that's good too.

[Bacula-users] Job runs on wrong tape drive when overriding storage device
I have a machine that has two DLT drives. While I can define a job to
run on either tape drive, I can not at run time alter an existing job to
run on the other tape drive. If I do try to alter the storage location
of a job (with the mod option of the run command), my request to use
a different storage device is ignored.
Both drives have a mounted tape from the default pool
status storage=Molerat-0 gives:
Device status:
Device DLT-0 (/dev/st0) is mounted with Volume=DLT120 Pool=Default
Total Bytes Read=0 Blocks Read=0 Bytes/block=0
Positioned at File=9 Block=0
Device DLT-1 (/dev/st1) is mounted with Volume=DLT121 Pool=Default
Total Bytes=504,612,864 Blocks=7,821 Bytes/block=64,520
Positioned at File=1 Block=0
If I run a predefined job and don't override the storage location each
job runs on the proper tape drive...
This works and puts the job on the first drive:
Run Backup job
JobName: Molerat
Level:Full
Client: molerat-fd
FileSet: LinuxFull
Pool: Default (From Job resource)
Storage: Molerat-0 (From Job resource)
This works and puts the job on the second drive:
Run Backup job
JobName: Molerat-test
Level:Full
Client: molerat-fd
FileSet: LinuxFull
Pool: Default (From Job resource)
Storage: Molerat-1 (From Job resource)
This is a request to put the job on the second drive, but the first
drive is used:
Run Backup job
JobName: Molerat
Level:Full
Client: molerat-fd
FileSet: LinuxFull
Pool: Default (From Job resource)
Storage: Molerat-1 (From user selection)
As you can see from the following (I canceled the job), the job went to
the first drive (and the first tape DLT120)

This, at least, is usually the reason when I get the not found messages. Accompanied, to emphasize that, usually by a message that the job was canceled.

Hi, On 4/17/2007 8:34 PM, Darien Hager wrote: Mucking around with the console I noticed I could set the level of a backup job to Base or Since. There is some mention of Base backups as being vaporware as of 1.30 within the FAQ, but otherwise the manual doesn't seem to have that much on these options. Base is still vaporware. Is Base is some sort of variation on a Full backup, and Since backs up files added and changed after a specified date? As far as I know, incremental and differential jobs are converted to since internally. i.e. differential == since last full backup, and incremenatl == since last backup of the given Client/FileSetId combination. I am able to modify jobs to either of those, but I haven't actually run them since I'm not entirely sure what'll happen. Tell us when you do :-) I suppose since will not give you anyhing useful - probably either a normal full backup, or no job at all. Since might work as expected. Arno -- --Darien A.

Re: [Bacula-users] Is there a way to pool tape drives?
Hi, On 4/17/2007 8:37 PM, Rex Wheeler wrote: I have 3 stand alone DLT drives (no changers.) I would like to define a backup job that can treat these drives as a pool and span across them. Is this possible? Not without some work of your own, I think. The reason I want this is that I have a backup job that will not fit on one tape. I would like to put a tape in each drive and have bacula write to the first tape and then write to the second tape as needed, without operator intervention. I was thinking about trying to lie to bacula and tell it that it has a changer with multiple drives and no slots, but I don't know if that would work? It won't because Bacula can not switch from device to device during a job. Has anyone tried this or have any suggestions? Never tried it, but using a clever mtx-changer script it should be possible... use a symlink as the tape device; modify the symlink to point to the right device depending on which slot is requested.
