I'm backing up 30Tb here and we just bought up another 28Tb array which will fill up durig the next 6-8 months. The things to bear in mind are: 1: Do not try backing up all the filesets at once (I have 12 week cycle on full backups, with 2-3 full backups triggered each week instead of trying to backup 28 1TB sets in one go) 2: Keep fileset sizes sensible. We use a rule of thumb of 1Tb, which takes abour 20 hours on LTO2 (spooling plus tape run) and can run 2 of those simultaneously on each tape drive in the same time period (one spools, one despools, etc) - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

[Bacula-users] Restorating a Job on alternate machine.
Hi,
When I tries to restore the data, it restores on the Server whose backup was
taken. I want that backup should be restored on some other server. How can i
configure this?
PS: I am using the default settings under Restoration Job.
Job { Name = "RestoreFiles"
Type = Restore
FileSet="Full Set"
Storage = File
Pool = Default
Messages = Standard
Where = /tmp/bacula-restores

Re: [Bacula-users] [Bacula-devel] 2.1.10 beta: no appendable volume found problem with multidrive autochanger
Hello, Thanks for the detailed info, and from examining the "llist volume...", I believe that I have found what is causing your problems. A bit of background: as I mentioned, Bacula has been evolving and improving concerning autochangers. For example in 1.38, Bacula could handle multidrive autochangers but not two or more autochangers -- all the Volumes were in *all* the autochangers. Not too good. In 2.0.x, Bacula started keeping track of what Autochanger contains each Volume. It does this with the Media record field StorageId, which points to a really simplistic Autochanger record. Now if InChanger is set but StorageId is not set, there is going to be a problem, because Bacula doesn't know in which Autochanger the Volume is, so it probably will not be selected as the next appendable volume for your changer. In your listing below, the volume 46L1: (before start of jobs) has StorageId 0 (also after the job, which is surprising). Which means that a request to find the next appendable volume is not going to work for that volume. A specific request to load that Slot will work. Now, exactly how Bacula figured out how to load it, I am not sure (it has several last resort algorthms, one of which probably succeeded). So bottom line: you need to figure out why your Volume has StorageId=0. This is probably because you either you created it with a pre-2.0 Bacula, which didn't know anything about StorageId, or you haven't yet done an "update slots" on your Autochanger, which *should* immediately fix the problem. The morale of the story is in version 2.0 or later of Bacula, it is *critical* to do an "update slots" when moving up from any prior version, and whenever you modify the contents of the magazine. Users who have the habit of manually tweaking the fields in the database such as InChanger, may also have problems. There may be some other "bug" (i.e. sequence of commands such as Scratch pools, or recycling, ...) that cause the StorageId to be lost, so I would suggest you first do an "update slots ..." then check that the StorageId is properly set on all your autochanger volumes, then when you have problems, check again. I believe this (need for update slots) was documented in the 2.0 Release notes, but I can see that it is more important than I thought and I will make sure it is appropriately documented in the manual. Best regards, Kern PS: for non-autochanger configurations, I have noticed that Bacula can label a volume and will often set InChanger=1, which is incorrect, and could lead to the same problem noted above (message: no appendable volume found, ...). In non-autochanger configurations, the StorageId is not significant since the volume can be mounted on any device with the same Media Type.

[Bacula-users] Simultanous Jobs
Hello list, i have started to setup bacula and at this moment i am very happy with this decision ;-) We migrate our backups from amanda to bacula and everything looks fine, but there is one little problem. I have several jobs with priority 10 which are scheduled over different schedule-entrys at the same time, only with different destinations for the storagedaemon. These jobs won't start simoultanously, they only start job by job and i can't figure out why... I allready have setup the Maximum Concurrent Job variable in the given configfiles as described in the manual, but it won't work. Whats going wrong? Where can i find more debugmessages to solve this problem or has anybody a solution for this? If you need more information please let me now.

Would this argue for defining manual drives as an autochanger with a special/null changer device? That would allow the device selection code to be completely consistent regardless of device type or configuration. - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

As far as I know everything is consistent, it is just that autochangers have functionality that does not exist on regular drives -- slots, whether or not a cartrige is in the magazine, the fact that the media cannot be moved from one autochanger to another (without operator intervention) ... - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

[Bacula-users] Proper Scratch Pool Creation
All,
I've been looking around for a bit but I can't seem to find a good template for
creating a scratch pool. I'm assuming this is pretty much all I need(?):
Pool {
Name = Scratch
Pool Type = Backup
Label Format = "BTRTG-"
}
So far it looks like the only directive you can assign to Pool Type is backup.
Everything started fine and now I'm trying to figure out how to add volumes.
Basically I'd like to know if it's possible to assign volumes to the Scratch
pool but not have them associated with a device. I have two DLT4000 drives I'd
like to be able to have Bacula just grab media from the Scratch pool when a
backup requests a tape but not have it matter what drive/job is requesting the
tape. Is this possible?
>From the console when you try to add media it requests which device :-/ ... I
>was just going to add a whack of media and then label them after the fact.
Any input/suggestions are appreciated :)
Thanks!

delete the volume #delete Automatically selected Catalog: MyCatalog Using Catalog "MyCatalog" In general it is not a good idea to delete either a Pool or a Volume since they may contain data.

The question is that manual tape drives are treated as a special case and there doesn't need to be a special case if we choose so. A manual tape drive can be thought of as an autochanger with a null changer device and a maximum of one slot (the drive itself) and a magazine size of 1. Using this definition would allow treating manual drives and robotic-assisted drives the same way conceptually and in the documentation. Perhaps there isn't a problem, but unnecessary special cases are a concept that bothers me, so I asked the question. - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Yes.
But I don't suppose that would be the solution to your problem.
I'm quite sure that Bacula would not understand the two autochangers to
be the same devices, so they could not easily share volumes.

Well, the problem is just the two autochangers... Bacula does not kow
they share the media, and so it won't load a volume marked as being in
one of them into the other.
>> Any other pointers ?
For now I can only recommend to find a setup where you don't have to
address he drives separately. I.e., create one autochanger with two
drives, use the autochanger device in the DIR only, and let Bacula
handle the details.
This will still not allow to set up jobs to use a distinct tape drive,
though.

I'm not sure about the catalog. When Bacula runs, does it use a catalog populated with the data from the old server? If it doesn't, you should import the catalg data into the database. (Having the database (which one? MySQL, PosthreSQL, SQLite... hopefully as a full dump!) in your homedirectory usually doesn't help much.) If it does, you can simply look up the JobId for the jobs you need to restore using either the restore command, the different queries, or even the job reports. > I then > started to run the job RestoreFiles, but it asked for a JobId, and I > wasn't sure what to use for this. Does it matter? Absolutely. The JobId tells Bacula whch Job you want to restore. > I didn't see any > reference to this in the manual. Hmm... I think you should reread the Restore chapter and perhaps the system outline :-) A Job is defined as a certain set of files from a certain client, plus some options. Whenever Bacula runs a job, it saves the data specified like this. Such a job instance gets a unique JobId. So, for a complete restore of a job, you need the job Ids of the latest full, the latest differential backup after that full one, and any incremental backups after that. This list of JobIds is then fed to the restore process. Much of the selection can be done more or less user-friendly with the initial queries of the restore command. Anyway, unless I somehow misunderstood you, I'd need some more details regarding your problem - most important: is the catalog database populated and shows all your existing backups, volumes, etc., and what exactly do you want to restore?

Yeah... well... difficult question. If you know a wiki system where you can do votes the way we always did them (or have good arguments for changing the voting process), I'm very open for suggestions :-) At the moment, I see three possible feature request tracker solutions: A CMS with a voting module. Until now, I didn't find anything which offers all I'd like to see. A wiki. Basically quite similar, but more open for community work. Anyone or many more people than with an CMS could change feature requests, and I don't know if this will be an advantage in the long run, and usually wikis don't offer strict limitations regarding article structure. Also, I miss a voting function. A home-grown feature request tracker. Rather simple database backend, with a simple web front end. Shouldn't be too difficult to program, but I'd prefer finding something that already has what we want. Any suggestions?

You do this when you start the restore.
After you did most of the restore job setup - restore command, job
selection, file selection ended with 'done' you are prompted with a
menu. Then select 'mod' and change the client to where you want to send
the data.

Probably you overlooked something... As you simply state you set the "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" where it's necessary it's hard to give a detailed answer. As I know for sure that concurrent jobs worked from 1.36 to 2.0.3 you either use a different version, or your configuration is not yet complete... and keep in mind you've got to restart FDs and SDs to activate configuration changes, and need the 'reload' command for the DIR. > Where can i find more debugmessages Try 'setdebug level=400 trace=1 dir' in bconsole, and read the contents of the trace file created in he workin directory of the DIR.

Bacula version, configuration file excerpts (without passwords) of the DIR config (director, storage, client resources where you want concurrent jobs), SD config and FD config would help.

[Bacula-users] postfix and bacula bsmtp mail option
Hello,
I'm running postfix 2.4.1 on FreeBSD, with the option
strict_rfc821_envelopes set to yes in my main.cf. I set up Bacula on this
box as well, v2.03. When i had strict_rfc821_envelopes set to yes I kept
getting the error "fatal malformed reply from localhost" and an error 501
from postfix in my bacula log. If i change the strict_rfc821_envelopes
option to no it works fine. I'd rather not change this option, does anyone
have a workaround? The specific error i'm seeing in the log is:
25-May 16:26 zeus-dir: message.c:481 Mail prog: bsmtp: bsmtp.c:92 Fatal
malformed reply from localhost: 501 5.1.7 Bad sender address syntax
and the message resource looks like this:
Messages {

# to replace the %r in the from field (-f part) with a single valid
# email address in both the mailcommand and the operatorcommand.

When there is no usable tape loaded bacula uses the first unused drive unloading the tape, even if there are drives which are empty. Furthermore I would like to see bacula to use the available drives more evenly. I have 4 drives and at most three concurrent jobs. So the first drive is the most used, while the fourth drive almost never will be used. As a first thought I'd like to see a drive selection schema like: 1. If a useable tape is already loaded; use this drive. 2. Use an empty drive. 3. Use the drive with the lowest "usage time". As far as I can see only step 1 is implemented in V2.1.10.

The obvious solution would be to use strictly RFC compliant mail
addresses for the sender :-)
Let's see...
postconf tells me

So, a mail sender address like '<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' should
work better. Actually, assuming your system is set up accordingly, I
wold even prefer '<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>', but that's a matter of taste
as probably noone ever will have reason to reply to that address...
Unfortunately, I did not reread the relevant RFCs recently ;-) but I
suppose an address like '"Bacula system" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' should
also work and give you a reasonable sender name in your mail client.

Note that we're talking about the sender address, given after -f, here...
