Hi,
When I try to restore a file 'toto.txt', I choose the good pool
(thanks to the restore window of the wx console on windows 2000
server), called Serveur1-Inc-Pool and when I choose the folder (what I
want restore) there is a bug, the tree is illimited, and I didn't find
my file 'toto.txt'

[Bacula-users] Package for macos X
Hello ! Monday, I will have to make a demonstration of bacula at a client's on his Mac computer. I have seen that bacula is supposed to run (at least the file daemon) on macintosh, but I can't find any package or installer for mac. Will I have to compile bacula file daemon on macos, or is there any package ? Please, tell me I will not have to compile bacula on mac... I have never used a mac, and i think i will be stupid when i will say to the client : I can't backup your mac. The program is supposed to run on mac, but I am not skilled enough to compile it on your machine, I need whatanannoyinglibrary.so and it is not present. - 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.

Then an incremental backup occurred. Then a restore was done. Would the file be restored, even if though the restore routine selected the incremental job?? If you do a full restore as is done by the restore command in Bat, yes the file would be restored. Six month ago we've had a total crash (ZFS) and had to restore 4T of data from tapes. According to Murphy, our last full backup was three months old and we thus had about 90 incremental backups. Although the restore worked flawlessly (thanks a lot for providing such a great piece of software), it was a major PITA for everyone to clean up the restored data because naturally lots of files had been removed during the previous three month. Even more annoying were all the directories that had been renamed since the full backup because these appeared twice in the restored tree. So I think it would be _really_ nice to store information about deleted files and directories in the database which would make it possible to get rid of all deleted files and directories automatically during restore. The dar backup tool for example has this feature. Are there any plans to include such a feature also in bacula? Yes, but no one is currently working on it.

There have been a number of emails on this subject on the bacula-users' list recently. In February you said Robert will be working on this project. Do you have any pointers to this work? I would be interested to look at the strategy for implementing this and at the work that has been done so far, if any. Robert quit the project, so currently there is no one assigned to it. I would be *extremely* happy to see someone interested in this project. If your offer is for algorithm help, please see Algorithms below. If your offer above includes programming (i.e. C or C++ programmer), and you are interested in working on it, please let me know (either off list or if you wish copying the bacula-devel list) and we can discuss the project. I recommend starting by reading the Developer notes in the Developer's Guide that is on the web site. It will give you a broad overview of developing for the Bacula project. This project and the project to store only one copy of a file (Base project) are closely related because they both require *much* more communication between the Dir and the FD -- essentially the Dir must send the current state as known in the catalog to the client, which can then determine which files to backup. Algorithms: This requires potentially sending a *lot* of data (i.e. millions of filenames and attribute data), which will require hash coding the names for performance reasons. If we want to handle up to 20 million filenames as we are starting to see on some systems, we will probably at some point need a good file paging algorithm. Some years ago, I wrote hasing routines specifically for this, but they have never been used yet, and so I am now looking at bringing them up to date -- in particular adding a Bloom filter to improve performance (I am currently researching Bloom filters). Where I could use a bit of advice is: Now: - Reviewing my hash table code (particularly the hash function) src/lib/htable.h src/lib/htable.c - Proposing how to size a Bloom filter (n bits) and number of hash functions. - Proposing what hash functions to use for the Bloom filter. Later: - Review overall strategy. Since these two projects (de-duplication of files, tracking new and deleted files) are quite hot topics lately, over the next week, I will write up a sort of proposal for implementation outlining my general ideas for how to implement them within the existing Bacula framework (i.e. without too many modifications to the database, ...). Thanks for your interest in this. Best regards, Kern - 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. No limits.

[Bacula-users] Problems restricting restores
First of all I'm don't have much experience.
I'm using bacula 2.0.2 on openSUSE 10.2.
My problem is that I want to restrict where a named console(supposed to
belong to a user) can do it's restores. I have tried to set WhereACL =
/tmp/bacula-restores, but when I run the restore y use the mod option and
it lets me do the restore anywhere I want. I want to restrict restore paths.
Here are the configuration files:
- user1.conf (bconsole.conf):
Director {
Name = linux-portatil-dir
DIRport = 9101
address = linux-portatil
Password = x
}
Console {
Name = usuario1
Password = aceroazul
}
- bconsole.conf:
Director {# define myself
Name = linux-portatil-dir
...
QueryFile = /etc/bacula/query.sql
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
Password = x # Console password
}
Console {
Name = usuario1
Password = aceroazul
CatalogACL = MyCatalog
ClientACL = linux-portatil-fd
JobACL = RestoreFiles
PoolACL = Default
StorageACL = File
FileSetACL = Full Set
CommandACL = status, restore
WhereACL = /tmp/bacula-restores
}
Job {
Name = RestoreFiles
Type = Restore
Client=linux-portatil-fd
FileSet=Full Set
Storage = File
Pool = Default
Where = /tmp/bacula-restores
}
FileSet {
Name = Full Set
Include {File = /home/bacula/bacula-2.0.2 }
}
Catalog {
Name = MyCatalog
dbname = bacula; user = bacula; password = x
}
I also executed ./bconsole usuario1 as non root and it would still let
me write anywhere. I guess that's because director is being executed
as root.
One more thing. I've been reading the user's mailing list to find out
about managing users. If I don't want user A to restore information
belonging to user B, is having one catalog per user the right
solution?

[Bacula-users] newb needs help configuring Dell PV-132T
All,
I am very green to bacula and am trying to configure a Dell PV-132T with
a single LTO-3 drive attached to a Debian Etch server. My problem comes
when running the btape fill test across multiple tapes. The first tape
fills ok but I then get the following error when it needs to get the
second tape:
06-Jun 01:06 btape: End of medium on Volume TestVolume1
Bytes=423,805,321,368 Blocks=6,569,404 at 06-Jun-2007 01:06.
06-Jun 01:06 btape: Invalid slot=0 defined, cannot autoload Volume.
Mount blank Volume on device Drive-0 (/dev/nst0) and press return when
ready:
Where is the Invalid slot=0 defined error coming from?
my bacula-sd.conf file looks like this:
Storage { # definition of myself
Name = foo-sd
SDPort = 9103
WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/bacula
Pid Directory = /var/run/bacula
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20

}

}
# Restricted Director, used by tray-monitor to get the
# status of the storage daemon

}
Autochanger {

Device = Drive-0
Changer Command = /etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d
Changer Device = /dev/sg3
}
Device {

Drive Index = 0
Media Type = LTO-3
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes;
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;

AutoChanger = yes
Alert Command = sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c | grep TapeAltert|cat'
Autoselect = yes
}
Messages {

}
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Scott

Re: [Bacula-users] newb needs help configuring Dell PV-132T
Well... Let me explain you some stuff. PV132T has a barcodes reader, so the easier way to get bacula find its volumes into the library is to label tape with their barcodes. (I guess you have barcodes on your tape ???, check with mtx -f /dev/sgX status). Then start bacula director and run update slots. Bacula will ask what's in the library through mtx. Then label bardcodes will make bacula load each tape into the drive and write the bardcode as label. Check with list media (especially inchanger flag). Scott McDaniel a écrit : How do I do that? I don't see that inside btape.

[Bacula-users] Bacula BETA 2.1.12 released to Source Forge
Hello, I have just released Bacula BETA 2.1.12 to Source Forge. The files are: bacula-2.1.12.tar.gz bacula-2.1.12.tar.gz.sig bacula-gui-2.1.12.tar.gz bacula-gui-2.1.12.tar.gz.sig bacula-rescue-2.1.12.tar.gz bacula-rescue-2.1.12.tar.gz.sig If you want the docs, you can find them at: http://www.sibbald.com/download/bacula-docs-2.1.12.tar.bz2 http://www.sibbald.com/download/bacula-docs-2.1.12.tar.bz2.sig The main docs file is 19+MB so will not load on Source Forge. This release is mainly a bug fix to version 2.1.10 with the following changes: Changes since Beta release 2.1.10 - Lots of new bat functionality !! - Additional drive reservation algorithm that should solve a lot of the problems experienced with multiple drive autochangers. - Reload was broken in 2.1.10 -- now fixed. - Storage daemon status command enhanced to more clearly show Volume, pool and media type when a job is waiting. - Made bsmtp work with more strict SMTP servers. - Detect doubly freed buffers in smartall.c - Reduce the impact of a backup on the FD's memory usage (OS file caching). This works only on POSIX compliant systems. This allows users to work with less interference on a Client machine during a backup. - bat should now handle non-English characters. - ./configure now permits --enable-batch-insert (as well as --disable...). This feature is enabled by default if your SQL libraries are thread safe. - The default setting for SQLite3 is now 'PRAGMA synchronous=OFF'. This makes it run 30 times faster, but increases the possiblity of a corrupted database if your server shuts down unexpectedly. The default behavior can be changed in src/version.h For more details, please see the ChangeLog. Thanks to the regression testers for their work. :-) Best regards, Kern - 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] Bacula Waits for 40min When a Client is Down
Howdy, I'm working on a bacula setup for my college and I have found that when a client goes down, whether it's firewalled, turned off, or otherwise disconnected from the network, bacula seems to hang for about 40 minutes before deciding that the client isn't there and stopping. This could become problematic if we have several machines down each night and could cause substantial problems if some backups don't start until people are back working. Is there a directive that allows me to specify something sane as the timeout period, and where does it need to go?

No, what I wanted to suggest was that I'd assume that specific disk is corrupt, when other disks work correctly.

Well, the restore code is quite thoroughly tested, and once the data is read by the SD I don't think it matters if your volumes are disk files, tapes, or DVDs. Obviosly I'm going to repeat the tests with another disc, but I just want be aware of all the possible causes of the problem. I'd suggest to dump the whole DVD to a file, multiple times, and compare these files. I would not be too astonished if there are differences... probably even related to temperature, both room temperature and drive-internal temperature. (Which would illustrate my point to *not* use DVD for backup or archival purposes...) I believe there are situations where having a DVD backup it's better than lacking any kind of backup. Definitely. Not everyone is willing to spend $$$ in order to have a LTO system or a backup server, Well, if you consider the low capacity of DVDs and the resulting effort of media handling, there are some not overly expensive alternatives. Using external (and robust!) USB disk, using a RAID-5 disk array for backup purposes exclusively, or using an affordable tape drive with medium capacity might all turn out less expensive quite fast. and when faced with the choice to spend thousands dollars or to risk data loss, well, they often choose to risk data loss hoping it won't actually happen to them... I dare say you can build a workable backup solution for some hundred GBs for less than a few thousand dollars... and, of course, you've got to know the value of your data. (I knew a freelance designer once who had all his work on one 1TB external hard disk. No backups, no copies. When the disk died he could not afford professional data recovery. I'd bet the cost of (at least) a second disk would have been much less than what he lost because he lost his business...) in such cases (not uncommon) a DVD backup it's better than no backup at all. No matter how good the reasons you give them to buy a serious backup solution are. My point is that it's possible to get a reasonable backup without spending thousands of dollars.

[Bacula-users] some issues with wxconsole
bacula 2.03 (on RHELv5) wxconsole is nice - thanks - went into restore tab and chose a folder for a test restore. Went through, picked the folder and clicked the 'Restore...' button and the wxconsole locked up with a message at the bottom that says 'Failed to retrieve jobid' It did indeed restore though but wxconsole is essentially locked up and I can't do anything in restore tab at all and in console tab, messages are still written but it isn't possible to click into the command line. Obviously I could click the wxconsole closed and re-open it. Standard error written to terminal states...

OTOH, once you've set one up you leverage a scalable foundation where you can easily add more features as the need arises. In the interim, you can disable those that you don't need. You know, it may be overkill... but then again, haven't we as a community sort of been clamoring for a Bacula-official wiki for awhile? I know you may not want to be the one doing that work, but I wonder if we can't kill two birds here with one stone. IMHO Wiki's suck. Dokuwiki sucking less than most. -- Best regards, Ken Gunderson GPG Key -- 9F5179FD Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room. - Sir Winston Churchill - 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.

Good point... if someone set up a CMS or Wiki with the (probably) necessary modules to support the voting process, I'd manage the feature requests and voting itself. (But I do prefer something much more structured than a bare wiki.) +1 Wiki != CMS and definitely NOT the way to go, IMHO. -- Best regards, Ken Gunderson GPG Key -- 9F5179FD Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room. - Sir Winston Churchill - 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.

[snip] What i'd like to achieve is to set up something which supports voting on feature request. A feature request has to be stored and presented in a formalized way, and each voter must be able to enter several weighted votes once per voting period. If noone finds a suitable solution with some readily available software I'll start thinking how to implement something myself in a few days. Arno Another option that may be worth considering is Trac. http://trac.edgewall.org/ Trac Demo Site: http://www.hosted-projects.com/trac/TracDemo/Demo It has built in wiki, bug tracker, svn browsing, etc. Do not run on sqlite db backend though for anything more than testing.
