[Bacula-users] bacula on centos with different filesystems, recovery
Hello, I've got a centos5 box that needs to be fully backed up because it's going to be reinstalled with raid. I don't want to loose any data. I set up a backup job that backed up / and /boot do i need to do anymore? The job completed successfully, but i'm getting in the email output: wserv-fd: /sys is a different filesystem. Will not descend from / into /sys wserv-fd: /dev is a different filesystem. Will not descend from / into /dev Do i need either of these filesystems if i'm going to be recreating the system then installing from backup? Thanks.

[Bacula-users] Backup-Proxy-Solution needed
Hi, we'd like to use Bacula as our one and only backup solution. But we have a problem with all home-office-installations. They normaly work with an asynchron DSL connection. It would take days to backup to our normal backup server in the internet. And normaly they only have a couple of hours during the night. Having a bright moment I thought: hmmm... why don't we install some sort of proxy at the home offices? People could backup their stuff to the proxy and the proxy syncs with the central server. Time wouldn't be such a big issue (even if it takes a couple of days to sync). Has anybody a solution for that problem?

Re: [Bacula-users] tls and pki on windows
Hello Dave, Please always copy the list -- thanks. On Sunday 27 May 2007 23:44, Dave wrote: Hi Kern, How much feedback have you got with both tls and pki on windows systems? Yes, some. To the best of my knowledge the comm encryption (tls) is working fine. However, there is an open bug report #807 on the data encryption (pki) on Windows systems, which I have not been able to duplicate -- any additional testing by other people would be welcome. I'm about to try it, i've got both of those working on FreeBSD, i'm about to add a linux client, and two windows machines, with a third bsd box in the future. I was wondering if you needed feedback or questions answered i could provide it if you had any? Well, the more people who try it, the better. Aside from resolving the above bug, my biggest concern with the data encryption code is that the documentation is not as complete as some users would like -- it is fine for those who understand encryption, certificates, and all that, but it is not sufficiently detailed for novices. Any contributions to improve the manual would be appreciated. The questions that seem to come up the most often involve how to configure the other daemons (I think I example shows only one), and how to generate, deploy, and use a master key. I did notice a difference between data encryption on and off a performance hit and posted it. If you think i can provide any useful information let me know. Of course, there is a performance hit. Encryption is *extremely* compute intensive. There is not much we can do about that, since I see nothing terribly inefficient in the code. Best regards, Kern Thanks.

The voting functionality should be included, so that, for each voting period, any (registered) user can vote for a number of features, can assign weights to the votes, and the solution adds the votes up correctly. I'm not too eager to install a complete CMS plus add-ons, or bugzilla, or something similarly oversized.

I have complete access to bacula on the old machine, and moved the database and the config files. I changed the config files so that I'm using the new file server hostname, but other than that they are the same. I have the old database in my home directory. Wait a moment... 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? Arno Thanks Arno, I see I am not being clear. What I really want to know is how I get the new bacula on the new machine to load the old database from the old machine. Can I just put the old database where the new one now is, or is there some way to import a database? Ok, I now understand, I think... The simplest way is when you will use the same catalog backend database. In that case, create a complete dup of the catalog, and load that into your new, unpopulated catalog. With MySQl, this is done using mysqldump and mysql, SQLite should allow you to copy the database files directly, and I'd have to look up how you best do it with PostgreSQL. After the catalg database is populated, simply point your new Bacula installation to it. Changing from one database to the other would probabaly need some sed/awk to remove database-specific statements from the catalog dump. Which database do you run?

Re: [Bacula-users] N00b question: how to do a one-off backup?
Petcher, Daniel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Best Practices questions:
-How do I add a backup job that I intend never to run again?
I don't know if I would call it a best practice, but I have a
handful of manual archiving jobs defined that all use the following
schedule resource:
Schedule {
Name = Manual
# Run = Level=Full Pool=Default sunday at 10:05
}
Don't know if the commented-out Run... line can be safely
removed or not, but I'm including it here since it was in
my running bacula-dir.conf file.
I also don't know if simply omitting the schedule definition line
from the job definition will have the same result, but I think
that it helps make my job configs more readable by saying that
it is a Manual schedule. (This will also work for jobs kicked
off via bconsole script input instead of the Bacula scheduler,
FWIW.)
-How do I clean-up the database after this job is safely ensconsed on
tape(s)?
You could set a one-day retention period for this job, but my
$0.02 is to leave it in the catalog and keep the bootstrap file
around just in case you need to restore from it. Also, since
Catalog is defined per-client in the config file, you could make
a second catalog for this job so that it doesn't pollute your
default one with archived entries.
Hope this helps.

All RPMs listed on Sourceforge are built from the same source (SRPM made by
Scott). No Bacula developer has all platforms available to create all RPMs.
Therefore the work is distributed among a small group.

[Bacula-users] Spooling setup not working
Hi,
I am having trouble getting data spooling to work, is seems like the
director is completely
ignoring it because it does not say anything about it, failure or no.
Below is what I believe
to be the pertinent data on the system.
The data is long but I think this is more efficient than trying to drag
the info out of me one
question at a time.
I would appreciate any help I can get here if you can spot where I went
wrong or drag
any more info out of me.
Thanks
Doug Breshears.
Example: With Tape in drive, a backup will write directly to tape, no
data shows up in spool directory, no spool references show up in log.
Example: w/o tape in drive the director says to please mount Volume
... and the backup waits until tape is inserted and mounted.

You forgot to tell us your Bacula version... apart from that, you'll probably have to run the restore in two turns. After you set up the job and the final confirmation menu appears, you should be able to copy the bootstrap file it created. Then modify the original file: Remove all parts that refer to the volume Weekly15 and run the job. Then take the copy of the bootstrap file and remove all of it that refers to the volume Monthly200703. You should be left with a bootstrap file only referencing Weekly15. Then run a job using that bootstrap file. Arno Thanx Kianusch - 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.

Will not descend from / into /dev Do i need either of these filesystems if i'm going to be recreating the system then installing from backup? That depends on how you will reinstall your OS. If you will d a minimal system installation and then restore your backup over it these two file systems will not be needed because they will be created at installation time and populated automatically. (Keep in mind that, restoring to a system with a different setup, will get you in trouble when you overwrite, for example, your initrd, bootloader setup, and /etc directory. You should take care not to overwrite anything necessary for booting from the RAID system.) If you want to do a bare-metal restore to the RAIDified system, you'll need some extra steps afterwards, mainly making the RAID system known to the OS. Personally, in your situation, I'd prefer to do a minimal system installation, save the essential configuration (bootloader setup, kernel, initial ram disk, and disk setup come to mind, but there are probably others...) and then restore over it. If you did a real minimal installation, and don't swith to another architecture (x86 vs. 64-bits enhanced mainly), don't install a newer or older kernel, and so on, you could restore and NOT overwrite existing files. In case your system doesn't boot, you could use your distributions repair installation tolls, or simply first copy the saved low-level setup over the broken installation and re-install the bootloader. In any case, a scenario like this can really get you into trouble :-) Arno Thanks.

And normaly they only have a couple of hours during the night. Having a bright moment I thought: hmmm... why don't we install some sort of proxy at the home offices? People could backup their stuff to the proxy and the proxy syncs with the central server. Time wouldn't be such a big issue (even if it takes a couple of days to sync). Only that you won't have reliable backups in your central office during that time :-( well, maybe clustered bacula servers might be helpful here, if those ever get implemented ;) currently your best bet probably is to use rsync at some point, which would work nicely for syncing. Yup. I'd do that like this: Set up an SD on the home workers computers. Send their backups to the local SD only. Set up the local SDs to write only small files. Use rsync to sync these volumes to your central backup server. As there are only small files, the overhead for rsync shouldn't be too bad. Or rsync your whole computers to your central office and backup from there. Restores would then need additional effort. Has anybody a solution for that problem? This is adifficult setup. I don't think a perfect solution is possible - my work-around from above, for example, requires extra work if you need to restore from the centrally located volumes (importing the volmes into the catalog). Another possible solution might be to take a full backup after you set up the home computers in your central facilities and only run incremental or differential backups when the machines ore off-site. This leaves a certain amount of unreliability, because you might miss files (especially relocated ones) in your backups. You could also set up a local SD at the home offices which would be used for full backups to a removable hard disk which would then be mailed to you. Or get a better network to your home offices :-) Hmm, there are many possibilities, it seems. Which one fits your needs best is difficult to decide without more detailed information, I guess.

Petcher, Daniel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Best Practices questions:
-How do I add a backup job that I intend never to run again?
I don't know if I would call it a best practice, but I have a
handful of manual archiving jobs defined that all use the following
schedule resource:
Schedule {
Name = Manual
# Run = Level=Full Pool=Default sunday at 10:05
}
Don't know if the commented-out Run... line can be safely
removed or not, but I'm including it here since it was in
my running bacula-dir.conf file.
You could remove that line. A schedule is not required for a job.
I also don't know if simply omitting the schedule definition line
from the job definition will have the same result, but I think
that it helps make my job configs more readable by saying that
it is a Manual schedule. (This will also work for jobs kicked
off via bconsole script input instead of the Bacula scheduler,
FWIW.)
I think that it's possible to use a dynamic approach for these maual
archiving jobs. Make the job read its fle list from a file which you
could edit to contain the lines you need. The client definition could be
in the job definition, as it probably won't change, or at least you'd
need only one manual archive job per client.
-How do I clean-up the database after this job is safely ensconsed on
tape(s)?
You could set a one-day retention period for this job, but my
$0.02 is to leave it in the catalog and keep the bootstrap file
around just in case you need to restore from it. Also, since
Catalog is defined per-client in the config file, you could make
a second catalog for this job so that it doesn't pollute your
default one with archived entries.
I'd suggest to use a short file retention but long job and volume
retention periods. The file list would probably not be very important
for many archival setups. If you need it, you can extract it from the
catalog after the backup and even keep it (printed or stored on CDR)
with the tapes.
Just some ideas how to refine this...
Arno
Hope this helps.

How can i test the amount of data that freebsd can write to my tape? Thanks all for your time!!! Actually, it's nearly impossible to measure how much data can fi onto a tape. Compression is the main reason, but even if you don't use hardware compression, tape space can vanish. Two mai reasons: File marks take space, and if you write lots of (logical tape) files, the used capacity will be considerably less than what could fit onto the tape without any file marks in between. Also, when your tape drive can't stream data but has to stop, reposition, and start writing again you can lose space. The latter is especially a problem because this shoe-shining mode also greatly stresses the tapes and the drive, so you should try a lot to prevent it. Spooling is the key here. Anyway, to measure how much data can fit onto a tape you can, for example, use btaes fill command, or use dd to write lots of data to tape. When you enable hardware

When you have Bacula 2.0 setup, and the job actually runs, the output of
'sta sd' will show you if data is spooled; in the top of the output,
there is a line for each job showing what it's doing - spooling,
despooling, or waiting for despooling. At the bottom is a summary of the
space used for spooled data.
Actually, I believe this output is present in 1.39.30, too, but you
would have to mount a usable tape first...
