Seems like a little loose error checking in the index.php script. Comes from
around line 52 in bacula-web/index.php. Propably caused by MySQL table
"Media" still being empty. Run a round of backups first to fill some data in
the table - that should fix it.

This can be worked around on the MySQL side.

I have installed it and played with it some, but somehow at least for me 
it's easier to just vi the config files.  I find the gui approach to be 
awkward and clunky in comparison.

[Bacula-users] bextract an encrypted file.

[Emery Guevremont]

Hello,

I'm in the middle of trying to bextract a file that's encrypted on a 
volume. Here's the command I ran:

bextract -V 24 -b /var/bacula/backup-dir.restore.4.bsr -v /dev/nst0 /tmp

and here's the error message I got:

I've got the pem file of the client copied on this machine, but I don't 
know how I'm supposed to get bextract to use it. Is it even possible to 
restore encrypted data with bextract? If not, what our my options if I 
don't have access to the catalog?

Thank you.

I know I can use bscan, but I was hoping I can save a step and just use 
bextract. I thought I had seen on this list that bextract supports 
encrypted files, but I could be wrong.

[Bacula-users] FTP Sync

[ashok shah]

Is it possible to use Bacula to back up two servers via FTP protocol.
 
Conceptually I am looking for a solution that can go transfer files via LAN or 
WAN.
 
 Windows(FTP)-->Embeded Linux Server-Buffalo Terrastation(FTP)
 
I have tried other FTP sync softwares.. and Pulling Data from the server runs 
at 11.6MB/sec (via gigabit LAN on the same SWITCH), the connection times out 
frequently, but it works..
 
When trying to pull Data from the Linux Server (bufallo Terrastation) the 
throughput is only 3.63MB/sec
 
Theoretically it should be the same..
 
I am interested in automating this procedure regularly.. between FTP boxes on 
the WAN as well.
 
Thanks,

Re: [Bacula-users] Feature: Reduce Backup Size on RAID

[Hederer Jean-Sébastien]

This could be a great feature for bacula. The only difference with 
BackupPC should be that the two ACLs be backed up and the file once.

I'm not sure what term is used to describe the feature but basically the

For example most *nixes have the /bin/ls binary file. Assuming it's the
same 'ls' that another system has the backup server only keeps 1 copy of
the binary but 2 entries in the Database - one for each PC.

I don't think this is possible with bacula. BackupPC with its pooling
feature could be an alternative (maybe you know BackupPC already).

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.

Thanks

The theoretical background is what I'm interested (and probably

that familiar with C++ though.

Agreed. So the communication between sd and fd for an incemental
backup would look like

fd -> sd: here's the list of (hashes of) filenames that
have changed.  This list might also contain hashes of the
contents of these files.

sd -> fd: thanks, please send them, but omit the following ones
as I already have them.

sd -> fd: list of hashes to omit.

fd -> sd: send contents of shortened list of files

I just read the wikipedia page on bloom filters. Looks to me like a
very promising concept. However, one obvious problem is that you'll
have to regenerate the filter whenever the ratio n/m of number of
hash bits per filename becomes so small that the false probability of
(ln 2)^(n/m) becomes too large.

Will do.

> - Proposing how to size a Bloom filter (n bits) and number of hash functions.

Well, these values will have to depend on the number of files that
are going to be stored in the database. If an upper bound M on
this number is known in advance as well as a small number p, the
probability with which we are willing to accept false positives,
one can easily determine n and the number k of hash functions as

n = M * ln (1 / p) / (ln 2)^2

k = ln 2 * n / M

unless I errored with the math ;)

> - Proposing what hash functions to use for the Bloom filter.

I personally like SuperFastHash for its performance, see

http://www.azillionmonkeys.com/qed/hash.html 

It's not cryptographically secure, but very fast. md5 would be another
option, but sha1 is likely too expensive for no real gain. It should
be possible to exchange the hash algorithm easily.

In any case it's enough to choose only two hash functions h1 and h2,
no matter what k is. One can then use the standard double hashing
method to produce k hash functions via

h(i, key) = (h1(key) + i * h2(key)) mod m, i = 0...k-1,

where m is chosen properly (e.g. a power of two if h2 produces only
odd numbers).

[Bacula-users] Client build on AIX -- Help!

[Reuben A. Popp]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to build 2.0.3 (client only) on AIX 5.3.  I have all the requisite 
libraries installed via the linux toolkit packages and some built from 
source.  I'm also running configure with the following 
flags:  --enable-client-only --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc/bacula 
--with-working-dir=/usr/local/bacula/working.

Configure appears to finish properly, but when I try a 'make all', the build  
stops shortly while trying to build console in filed with the errors:

 ==>Entering directory /usr/local/src/bacula-2.0.3/src/findlib

Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated!!

[Bacula-users] Multiple Clients Using Disk Example

[Kyle Marsh]

In the Bacula manual there is a wonderful example of how to set up
pools for backups to disk using the default three level schedule.
However, the example configuration file only uses one client.  I was
wondering if the same configuration works for multiple clients, or if
there is something else to consider.  For example, the sample file has
one job per volume for each of 6 volumes in the differential pool, one
for each week in a month (with some slack).  If I were to try to run
10 clients on this would it fill that pool on the first week after 6
had backed up?  What would happen to the other four, would baucla die
horribly, or overwrite the volumes it just created, or create more
volumes?

Similarly, I seem to need a new client entry and a new job entry for
every machine I want to back up.  Many of the machines to be backed up
will change every 4 months or so, and they all will have the same
configuration, so is there any way to condense the amount of
configuration that needs to change?  i know about JobDefs, but is
there any BatchJob, say, or a similar ClientDefs?

Thanks,

Kyle Marsh

Re: [Bacula-users] Could not open Catalog MyCatalog

[tamada(acornsoft)]

I checked mysql.c and recognized md->db_port and md-db_socket are NULL.
I inserted these information as magic code (hard code).
Now it seems to work.

I do not know why it could not have MySQL port number and socket file.
For time being, I'll use this approach to understand Bacula in depth.

Thanks.

For what reason? Load balancing? What are these two storages, tape drives?

I don't know how to answer this question with the small amount of
information you have provided.

  

hello Ryan,

thank for your answer.
I the 2 Storages are 2 Servers which stores the data on harddisks.
Just i need an solution to store the same data on more than one storage.
And i don't want run 2 job for this. Because the filedaemon then read 
the data twice for the same Backup.


Any Idears for an nice solution?

regards Maik

for example:


when the job is running:

So if I understand you, what you do is create an pool for each level
of backup and estimate how much space that will take, then pick a
reasonable maximum size for each volume and divide the estimated pool
size by that to get the number of volumes, rather than put each backup
it its own volume like the example does.  That seems good.

For reference, what have you found to be reasonable sizes for disk
volumes?  If, as I suspect, the optimal size depends on the overall
size of each job, could you give some examples or a rule of thumb?

Indeed...I think I will write a script that takes the client data and
appends it in the necessary formats to files that are then included
where needed.  That seems like the best idea in this case.  I'll have
to look up includes -- I have yet to run across them in the manual.
Also, I'm not sure if it helps here, but is there any sort of variable
system in the bacula configuration?  I think not, but it may turn out
useful if there is.

What do you mean here by using script output as the conf file?  How is
this different from what I plan on doing above except with a database,
which I could implement if I felt so inclned?  Do you mean that 2.2
will ship with a script which generates the configuration files rather
than requiring them to be written out by hand?

And yet the fact remains that for both Steve and me, it doesn't.  You
suggested pinging the client with RunBeforeJob.  Is there a better way
to do this than adding a new line in each job?  You cannot put it in
the JobDefs because you need the hostname, and of course you cannot
extract that from anything in the Job field as far as I know, so it
has to appear magically.

Of course, I don't believe the cancel command is particularly
effective when your console is busy with something else, like waiting
40 minutes for a response that isn't coming.  You need to start a new
bconsole and run cancel from there as far as I can tell.

Re: [Bacula-users] Using sd on Windows - possible to use UNC path or mapped drive as the Archive Location?

[Erich Prinz]

Been down this 'path' before. Not supported by the current code base.  
Bacula requires locally mounted devices for the SD.

One alternative for you is to install the SD on the remote machine  
and configure Bacula to use that SD for its jobs.

I believe I already explained to you how I plan to get solutions that 
are "part of Bacula", and in explicitly acknowledging this issue, I cannot 
undstand why you say " If Bacula fails to acknowledge this ...".  At the 
moment, there are *many* more critical features that Bacula lacks than what 
you are asking for when one looks at the voting results from the Bacula users 
themselves. 

In the mean time, the users using Bacula can help the project by either 
helping provide those solutions or by writing and contributing scripts.

 You've got to solutions:
 1/ The answer is in the manual too:
 'Chapter 14: Alert Command' (bottom of page 228 of bacula.pdf v2.0.3):
 "you will need to specify a Changer Device directive in your Device 
 resource
 (...) so that the generic SCSI device name can be edited into the command 
 (with
 the %c)."
 2/ The second one, more elegant, as you do not have to define a 
 ChangerDevice=
 directive for a device that is not an autochanger, is to modify the
 AlertCommand= and replace the '%c' with '%a' that is the subtitution for 
 the
 archive device name (as stated in the manual (chapter 28.5 bottom of page 
 409
 and other places as well). This way Bacula will substitute '%a' with the 
 actual
 value of the ArchiveDevice= directive in your SD.conf file before it is 
 sent to
 the OS for execution.

Well, it looks like we were both right. Unfortunately, I don't know
where that takes me. If you look at the following manpage for scsitape:

The first argument, given following -f , is the SCSI generic device
corresponding to your tape drive. Consult your operating system's
documentation for more information (for example, under Linux these are
generally /dev/sg0 through /dev/sg15, under FreeBSD these are /dev/pass0
through /dev/passX. Under Solaris this is usually the same as your tape
drive (Solaris has a SCSI passthrough ioctl). You can set the STAPE or
TAPE environment variable rather than use -f.

...however, if I do try to use %a for the archive device, I do get a
busy error:

Hi,

I wrote down some simple instructions on how to get Bacula working on
Solaris using Blastwave binary packages. Have a look if you are
interested or have struggled to get it to compile properly on the
platform.

If you have any comments or suggestion for improvements please let me know.

[Bacula-users] Compile Error building Bacula with MySQL and PostgreSql

[Berner Martin]

Hello
I use Bacula 1.38.9 on Sun Solaris in a productive environment. Cataloc-Backend 
is PostgreSql currently. But I think the bottleneck in Performance is Postgre. 
So I like to give MySql a try.
Now I try to compile Bacula with Support for both Backend MySql and PostgrSql.
I make a configure like this:
./configure --with-postgresql=/usr/local/pgsql --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
and a simple make afterwards. But I always get a compilation error by sql.c

I tried with different version of Bacula and tried with precompiled MySql from 
MySql-Site and self compiled version of MySQL. I tried with MySql 4.1.22 and 
5.0.41 but non of them solve my compilation problems.
If I configure only with --with-postgresql=/usr/local/pgsql and do a make, all 
works fine.

What dos I miss?

[Bacula-users] change FileSet name, where's the new filesetid?

[Ralf Gross]

Hi,

just for confirmation: if I change the name of a FileSet (not the file
list), the next job will be a full backup? 

>From the docs:
Any change to the list of the included files will cause Bacula to automatically
create a new FileSet (defined by the name and an MD5 checksum of the
Include/Exclude contents). Each time a new FileSet is created, Bacula will
ensure that the next backup is always a Full save.

Where can I see the current FileSet ID? With 'llist jobs' I get the filesetids
of completed jobs, but where can I check the current filesetid?

I tried to get it from the db.

bacula=> select * from fileset;
 filesetid |fileset|  md5   | createtime
---+---++-
 1 | SMTCZB0003| K98Oq//ZH2plCHkth6UKkC | 2007-02-20 22:25:00
 2 | VU0EM003 Full | yB/6TU1SCB+HyTpYeFwiGD | 2007-02-20 22:25:01
 3 | Catalog   | z4/v/7/uQ+xwMkF9v//4VD | 2007-02-25 00:10:00

 7 | Test-Set  | 4H+m384yU9+n7//wR6/KjA | 2007-03-01 08:43:47
(5 Zeilen)

I changed the 'VU0EM003 Full' FileSet to 'VU0EM003' and issued reload in
bconsole before. But I can't find the modified FileSet name or id in the db.
Show fileset returns the correct modified name.

* show fileset
...
FileSet: name=VU0EM003

[Bacula-users] exabyte autochanger

[Maria McKinley]

I recently updated to version 1.38.11-8, and I am having a hard time 
getting my autochanger to work. I changed my bacula-sd.conf file so that 
there is now an Autochanger:

Autochanger {
   Name = Exabyte
   Device = Drive-1
   Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
   Changer Device = /dev/sg0
}

Device {
   Name = Drive-1
   Drive Index = 0
   Media Type = VXA-2
   Archive Device = /dev/st0
   LabelMedia = yes;  # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
   Random Access = Yes;
   AutomaticMount = yes;  # when device opened, read it
   RemovableMedia = yes;
   AlwaysOpen = yes;
   Autochanger = yes;
   Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
}

This seems to work fine with btape auto command, but if I try to label 
from bconsole, I get the following:

*label barcodes
Automatically selected Storage: Exabyte
Connecting to Storage daemon Exabyte at dinah:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger "slots" command.
Device "Exabyte" has 0 slots.
No slots in changer to scan.

Any idea why I'm getting this?

Thanks a bunch,
Maria

Hello,

Thanks for your comments.  Please see my notes below ...

Not necessary, malloc() is #defined to be bmalloc(), which aborts if it is out 
of memory.

Yes, good idea, though I don't immediately see a need to handle anything other 
than strings within Bacula.

Yes, but it was not portable.  We now have our own Bacula printf code which is 
portable and supports %p, so I've been converting the old stuff when I am in 
the file.  Clearly this is a good file to attack.

Good question -- I think you are right.  I'll try it and see if anything

I think what you are suggesting is possible, and I will take a look at it. 
However, it leads to several problems:
1. walkptr and walk_index are then no longer treated the same, and IMO that 
will make it harder to read the code.  I.e. there are 2 pieces of information 
that would have to be returned and then passed into next().
2. There will be additional code necessary to adjust the pointer on entry, 
which I currently avoid by keeping walkptr in the class.
3. It complicates the "user" code in that it must pass the old pointer to the 
next() routine and if it is symmetric also walk_index.

As with the above, that will complicate the problem by returning it to the 
higher level program.  The "user" program really shouldn't need to know 
anything about walkptr or walk_index as they are simply the means to traverse 
a hash list in linear order without using recursion (I have never seen such 
code anywhere), so IMO, returning them to the higher level routine breaks the 
encapsulation of the code.

If I am not mistaken, this is a *very* common technique.  The most common 
algorithm shifts by 5 rather than 3, but if I remember right my tests showed 
that 3 was better -- at least with the filenames on my system.

Re: [Bacula-users] how to reinitialize both database and pools/volumes

[Valéry Roché]

Hi again,

Ok, when database has been reset, I can delete volumes on HD without
problems. But I installed Bacula on a debian box, and I can't find the
scripts that should reset the database.
Is there a place where I can download it ?

Thanx,

Re: [Bacula-users] Using sd on Windows - possible to use UNC path or mapped drive as the Archive Loc

[Mike Lauwaert]

Thanks for the response.  
 
Yeah I thought of that however my problem is I have allocated space on NAS 
device through our service provider which I would like to use for which there 
is no machine that I could install the SD.  I can just mount the drive.  Also, 
I would was hoping I could use Bacula to store data to remote backup 
providers/filesystems like rsync.net and mozypro.com etc. which would also 
require mounting the device as a shared drive as you don't have control of the 
physical machine that houses that storage space.  I guess for now I will have 
to do it locally and once a week upload the volumes to the offsite/remote 
storage location.
 
Does anyone know if there is plans to support network backup devices in the 
future for compatibility with remote backup providers etc.?
 
Thanks,
 
Mike

[Bacula-users] "Zlib data error" failure on only one file in restore

[Jeff Dickens]

I ran a test restore, verifying (apparently) that my now-retired Windows 
SD system really was handling the end-of-tape condition correctly, and 
found to my surprise that I got a "Zlib data error" failure on one 
file.  The rest of the restore seems perfect.  One probably important 
point is that the file in question is large: over 750MB. 

The FD that did the backup several weeks ago was "liz1-fd Version: 2.0.3 
(06 March 2007)  VSS Linux Cross-compile Win32".  The FD that did the 
restore was "kestrel-fd Version: 2.0.4 (02 May 2007)  VSS Linux 
Cross-compile Win32".  The SD that did the restore was "squirrel-sd 
Version: 2.0.3 (06 March 2007) i686-redhat-linux-gnu redhat".  The SD 
that did the backup was the "2.0.4" version on Windows.



Is this a bug, or a known problem?

My initial though was to do a junction/linkd/mountvol/subst to map the

Is using a network drive just not supported by Bacula or is there some 
creative way to mount one that I am just not thinking of?

[Bacula-users] change FileSet name, where's the new filesetid?

[Ralf Gross]

[resent, because of sf problems with the mailing lists]

Hi,

just for confirmation: if I change the name of a FileSet (not the file
list), the next job will be a full backup? 

>From the docs:
Any change to the list of the included files will cause Bacula to automatically
create a new FileSet (defined by the name and an MD5 checksum of the
Include/Exclude contents). Each time a new FileSet is created, Bacula will
ensure that the next backup is always a Full save.

Where can I see the current FileSet ID? With 'llist jobs' I get the filesetids
of completed jobs, but where can I check the current filesetid?

I tried to get it from the db.

bacula=> select * from fileset;
 filesetid |fileset|  md5   | createtime
---+---++-
 1 | SMTCZB0003| K98Oq//ZH2plCHkth6UKkC | 2007-02-20 22:25:00

I changed the 'VU0EM003 Full' FileSet to 'VU0EM003' and issued reload in
bconsole before. But I can't find the modified FileSet name or id in the db.
Show fileset returns the correct modified name.

* show fileset

FileSet: name=VU0EM003

[Bacula-users] wx-console instalation

[alejandro lencina]

Hi,

I'm trying to get wx-console to work. I'm not an experienced user. So far
I've got to install wxWidgets 2.8 and I installed Bacula 2.0.2 with the
--enable-wx-console option in ./configure. I'm not so sure of what I should
be doing next. I went to src/wx-console and tried to do a make to compile
the source(I guess). Please, I would be thankful for any directions of what
to do or where to get information.

Gracias!

[Bacula-users] Bacula references needed

[Kern Sibbald]

Hello,

If you are a "large" organization (University, hospital, bank, 
corporation, ...) or a "big" name that uses Bacula and would be willing to 
act as a reference for a very small number of potential Bacula clients (1 or 
2 max), I would appreciate it if you would contact me directly (off-list if 
you wish) with your name, organization, title, rough Bacula installation 
size, and your telephone number and/or email address.  This could be of a 
*big* help getting Bacula into some larger institutions.  I would 
particularly appreciate a few French users, though this is not at all a 
requirement.

Best regards,

Kern

unless you found a better solution, quick and dirty hack would be a 
script which would be run before the job and would ls, touch or whatever 
you need every 10 or so seconds something on the mount.

[Bacula-users] bacula backing up to tape

[Dave]

Hello,
I've got a job that i want to back up to tape. It contains several Large 
files that i don't want under disk storage, but i forsee a need to 
periodically restore them say over the next year. I'm wondering the best 
configuration, this is what i have.

Job {
  Name = "backup_to_tape"
  Type = Backup
 Level = Incremental
  Messages = Standard
  Client = client1-fd
Storage = "Tape Drive"
  FileSet = "isos"
  Pool = Default
  Write Bootstrap = "/backup/bacula/tape.bsr"
  Priority = 10
}

Client {
  Name = client1-fd
  Address = 111.222.333.444
  FDPort = 9102
  Catalog = MyCatalog
  Password = "xxx"
  File Retention = 45 days
  Job Retention = 6 months
  AutoPrune = yes   # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}

Pool {
 Name = Default
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes   # Bacula can automatically recycle 
Volumes
  AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
  Volume Retention = 365 days # one year
}

I've got the client resource already set up for this box, and it's retention 
periods are working fine for another job that it backs up. But the job and 
file retention periods for this job wouldn't work and i don't want to have 
to continuously adjust retention periods.
Thanks.
Dave.

Hi,
I have set up bacula v. 1.38 with mysql and whan I want to start the

[Bacula-users] problem with incremental jobs

[Craig White]

I have Friday's set to Full and Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday set to
Incremental. I started last Thursday and it did a full backup because it
said that the 'No prior suitable Full backup found in catalog' - that
made sense. That backup completed.

Then Friday did a Full backup and that completed successfully.

Now Monday's backup should have been an incremental but indeed it did
another Full backup as you can see from the first 2 lines of the log...

11-Jun 20:00 SRV1: No prior Full backup Job record found.
11-Jun 20:00 SRV1: No prior or suitable Full backup found in catalog.
Doing FULL backup.
11-Jun 20:00 SRV1: Start Backup JobId 21,
Job=NightlySave.2007-06-11_20.00.00

which makes no sense to me...

appropriate parts of bacula-dir.conf

Job {
  Name = "NightlySave"
  Type = Backup
  Client = SRV1
  FileSet = "Full Set"
  Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
  Storage = DDS-4
  Messages = Standard
  Pool = Default
  Write Bootstrap = "/var/bacula/NightlySave.bsr"
  Max Start Delay = 22h
}
Schedule {
  Name = "WeeklyCycle"
  Run = Level=Incremental Pool=MondayPool Monday at 8:00pm
  Run = Level=Incremental Pool=TuesdayPool Tuesday at 8:00pm
  Run = Level=Incremental Pool=WednesdayPool Wednesday at 8:00pm
  Run = Level=Incremental Pool=ThursdayPool Thursday at 8:00pm
  Run = Level=Full Pool=WeeklyPool Friday at 1:00pm
}

Shouldn't it have run an 'incremental' backup last night?

20750.4 <> 27012.6 KB/s depending on the size of what's being written to
tape.  This is with the LTO-3.  The only place any compression is enabled is
in hardware on the drive.  This results in tapes that fill at just over 900G
and can be written between 9PM and 8AM.

[Bacula-users] How to point bkp to a volume disk in another server

[Sandro Mendes]

Hello people, 
I need to save bkps in disk on another server. How I configure the Archive 
device in bacula-sd. conf?
I tried using Archive Device = "server\\g$\\Users\\Bkps by 
Bacula\\dgrosado" but it's not working. 
OBS: I'm using bacula on Windows. 

Tks!

[Bacula-users] bacula reads disk pages atomically? (bdb question)

[Ross Boylan]

The Berkeley Database apparently requires that hot backups read disk
pages atomically.  They note that most system cp commands do so; I've
searched the manual, FAQ, and newsgroups, but can't find how bacula
operates when reading a file.

Does anyone know if I can count on the reads taking whole pages?

More generally, any tips on bdb backups with bacula would be great.

I'm on Linux with a 2.6 kernel.

Thanks.

What it means is that bacula's purpose isn't to provide a unified way of 
backing up/restoring any software configuration you'll find, with a nice, 
friendly GUI with a big 'restore database' button.

Backing up Mysql and PostgreSQL for instance is quite easy, as they are well 
documented and easy to backup. But do you want to do sql dumps or binary 
backups, maybe you'd even like to backup database journals during the day ?

It's funny you take Exchange as an example, as the only supported way of 
backing up Exchange is, I think, NT Backup... And I'd say I trust MS on this 
one, as most Exchange backup agents (symantec included) we've tested suck big 
time. As it is, we backup exchange on disk with ntbackup, then through the 
network with bacula. We do the same with Oracle (RMAN, then bacula).
You know what ? We already did the same before with our proprietary software, 
as there were dedicated agents, but none of the worked as well (reliably) as 
ntbackup or RMAN... no one knows the internals of these softwares as well as 
their editors.

Anyway, what is really important, I think, is that :
- Developping a dedicated solution for one piece of software is a lot of work, 
and work you have to do again for each release... even some proprietary 
backup software have trouble following the pace
- Some APIs may even not be disclosed to open source, or with NDA or fees
- You'd be better off trusting the provided utility to backup each software : 
pg_dump for postgres, rman for oracle, ntbackup for exchange, etc ...

I think the problem is that Bacula runs as a Windows services, which cannot
access the network drives that you mount on the desktop.  I would expect UNC
paths to work provided the server allows access to the user that is running
the Bacula service (probably not the desktop user).

You might be able to run bacula-sd from the desktop instead of as a service.

You could also try mounting the network drive from a RunBefore script (using
NET USE), but I don't know if that will work and it will still have the issues
with access to the UNC path.

[Bacula-users] Includes in .conf files

[Kyle Marsh]

Hi all,

I've seen allusions to being able to include files in bacula's
configuration files -- that would make my job of writing a script to
generate client and job entries much easier -- but I haven't been able
to find any references to it in the manual.  Is this possible?  If so
how?

Thanks,

~Kyle Marsh

Re: [Bacula-users] Includes in .conf files

[Kyle Marsh]

Thanks all for your responses!  Dave, I'm writing a python script that
parses a text file containing information about the bacula install
(working directory, install directory, director name, etc.) and
another containing information about all the clients that I need to
back up.  It then creates a file with all the client and job
definitions that get included in the bacula-dir.conf file.  It also
spits out a bacula-fd.conf for each client as well as creates and
signs the certificates required for TLS.

At the moment it's a very inflexible script -- I assume my own
convention for the locations of the files and such.  When I get it
working, I'll see about parsing some command line arguments to tell it
where to look for files and where to put things, and possibly make it
a well behaved unix program (take input from stdin/send input to
stdout if nothing is specified, etc) but so far it reads from and
writes to specific files.

If you'd like I'll send you (or the list, if others are interested) an
e-mail when it's done.  Should be this week or the next.

Re: [Bacula-users] How to point bkp to a volume disk in another server

I'm guessing you don't read the mailing list, since someone asked this
question just hours ago. You might try searching the list archives in
general, as they are often helpful.

There is no way to do what you want to do, short of installing the
bacula-sd on the server that contains the storage. Is this not possible?

The backup was upgraded to full, that's what I expected.

Looking at the psql output after the next backup happend, now there is a new
fileset in the list. VU0EM003, which is the one I changed before. The
createtime is the time the backup started. 

bacula=> select * from fileset;
 filesetid |fileset|  md5   | createtime

I'm still a bit confused why the new fileset wasn't created at the time I
changed the config and reloaded the daemon.

please make shure that your changer device has the correct permissions eg.:

 crw-rw root disk /dev/sg0

and for the potentially next problem ...
by your tapedrive device i'm unshure, i think this should /dev/nst0, i don't 
know how its correct on exabyte tapes.

Normally the /dev/st* device makes a automatic rewind after write, 
the /dev/nst* make no auto rewind. Bacula needs imho a non auto rewinding 
device. You dosn't write wich OS you use, here are little differences between 
the OSes.

regards
   Falk

if i understood you correctly, you have two servers with hdd storage and 
would like to replicate backups on both without running them twice.

which is also what i have :)

this would be ideally handled by a clustered bacula servers (a feature 
request i made recently) - but that probably won't appear anytime soon.

until then, your best bet probably would be to rsync changes between the 
servers.
