after taking these errors I have used the conf file that comes with

Is bacula configuration changed in new versions? I have also tried
bacula
1.38.11 and bacula 2.0.3 version and got the same error messages..
I had a similar issue but it was obvious that something was wrong with
the conf file.
In my case, I had a Windows system and I was using quotations to
enclose
an 'Include' path - something like this...
File = c:\Document and Settings\ and UNIX interprets the \ as an
escape which meant that the quotes were never closed so I had to use
'\\' for the backslashes.
bacula manual explicitly tells not to do that ;)
http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/FileSet_Resource.html
Windows users, please take note to specify directories (even c:/...) in
Unix path notation. If you use Windows conventions, you will most
likely
not be able to restore your files due to the fact that the Windows path
separator was defined as an escape character long before Windows
existed, and Bacula adheres to that convention

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula 1.38.11 or bacula 2.0.3 error
are you sure other jobs, jobdefs and whatnot you have before this entry
in the file are correct ?
maybe you should try to strip the file to absolute minimum, and, if that
does not work, show the complete configuration.

Re: [Bacula-users] checksumming problem
Thanks Kern. Kern Sibbald wrote: It seems like the checksumming and base64 encoding in the version of Bacula we have is broken. We can't just run md5sum on the command line and compare against what's in the Catalog. The bug report for this is here (fixed in newer releases): The code was not broken. The hash code is identical to the RFC defining it. However, when Bacula was originally written, there was no RFC for 64 bit encoding or I wasn't aware of it, so the 64 bit printable representation was different from what md5sum produces. Noted. Perhaps unusual is a better word than broken :-) Some questions: 1) Are the checksums stored in Bacula any use to me at all? Yes, of course, but they are not so easy to use without a bit of work. OK. We can do some work 2) Can I set up a Verify task, and compare the stored checksums against the disk copies? Or is this going to be too hard, given that the InitCatalog jobs was never run, and we have moved files around? The closest thing to what you want is a Verify VolumeToCatalog. It will verifiy that the hash codes stored on the Volume are the same as those in the catalog. This means that Bacula must read the whole tape to find the hash codes, but they are pre-computed, so Bacula does not actually read the data on the Volume and re-compute a hash code (considering the data such as Win32 data, ... that would be a nearly impossible task anyway). Re-reading all the tapes is not an option, I'm afraid. There is a C++ program (actually written in C) in bacula-source/src/lib/md5.c that you can tweak and compile into a program that will permit you to create an md5 program that does the same thing as md5sum, but using the Bacula 64 bit encoding scheme ... If I remember right, if you have already configured and built Bacula, you can simply: cd bacula-source/src/lib make md5sum and it will create a binary named md5 (I think) that you can execute. If not, just tweak the Makefile. Right, got the 1.36.3 source. Compiled the md5sum binary. It does something, but gives a hex answer. The database has an base64 entry. Hmmm.

I would never use or even pay such a backup software. Some of those commercial backup packages run into tens of thousands of dollars. There are only a couple I'm aware of which do it the right way Fortunately in bacula, 90% of the work is already done - there is a file database in place. It is mainly a matter of hammering out the right method and cutting code - something I'm afraid I'm no good at. Once the GUI is done for the lazy people, they will find out that bacula is missing a reliable and professional reason. See above. There are very few enterprise-grade packages which can do snapshot restores via incrementals and they cost a great deal of money. Ironically, lots of open source unix backup systems do implement it! __Martin lots? for example? star (http://freshmeat.net/projects/star/) dump on Linux dump of FreeBSD GNU tar (well, it tries, but there are bugs) ufsdump on Solaris (OK, this is only recently open source) + all the wrapper scripts for the above Ahhh. I see what you mean by lots. ;-) Note that those are all one-off backup this partition or directory now programs. None of them are integrated backup systems like bacula or amanda. The list was just talking about dump being broken on Linux. True, but the moved/deleted file tracking is working in dump AFAIK. The problems are just related to backing up a live system, which I think has always been dangerous for dump-like programs on Unix. GNU tar tries? There are various options like --listed-incremental, which work in many cases but have a long history of bugs. star is a tar variant that has been stuck in 1.5 alpha versions for over 2 years. I actually found an old star-users email talking about using star through amanda so they could run unattended. I also found some discussions on that list arguing that GNU tar actually did work. True, it does always seem to be in alpha :-) So, we're left with ufsdump on Solaris and any wrapper scripts for it? And possibly dump on FreeBSD? And maybe GNU tar. None of those are integrated backup systems. However, they all plug into amanda. So, the implication is that amanda works, giving us lots=1. Any other open source integrated backup systems? I'm sure there are some other wrappers for tar that keep a catalog, though probably not as sophisticated as Bacula or Amanda. I've never had much call to do full recoveries with incrementals added on. I guess Sun hardware with mirroring just doesn't fail often enough. ;-) But, I'm running an experiment right now, trashing a file system that's my development space just so I can use ufsrestore to do a full and incremental restore. When it comes to backup and restore, I prefer hands on experience. Ahh, done already. Cool. It worked. Files and directories removed before the incremental ufsdump were restored by the full ufsrestore and then removed by the incremental ufsrestore. Files and directories moved before the incremental ufsdump were restored in their original position by the full ufsrestore and then moved to their new position by the incremental ufsrestore. I didn't actually know that that worked before. Nice to know. 8-) Yes, it is neat. __Martin - 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] Developer coordination
Hello, As developers come and go, and as Bacula gets larger and larger, and is now being used at the Enterprise level, I am more and more feeling the need to have a better way to keep the status of developer's efforts and a better way to communicate among us. In working on promoting a professional support service for Bacula (more about that probably mid-July), I have experimented a bit with RT a ticket tracking system. The more I look at it, the more I think it would be appropriate for tracking developer's efforts. The basic idea is that each developer would have access to the Bacula RT system, and would create and respond to ticket items that describe their project and the various stages they are in their project. Primarily this would be for developers, but there might be a way to give a certain public view of the overall project status. If you are familar with RT, I would appreciate hearing your comments about this proposal. If you are not familar with RT, you might want to take a look at their site, though reading their documentation and viewing their screenshots is not quite the same as using the system. For more see: http://bestpractical.com/rt I'm currently in the process of setting up a Bacula RT on my server where developers will be able to try it out. If any of you have experience using RT in any context, but particularly for development coordination, I would really appreciate to hear about it. Best regards, Kern PS: If you are a Bacula developer and you have any objections to this proposal or particular direction you would like it to take, now is the time to speak up. - 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.

In working on promoting a professional support service for Bacula (more about that probably mid-July), I have experimented a bit with RT a ticket tracking system. The more I look at it, the more I think it would be appropriate for tracking developer's efforts. The basic idea is that each developer would have access to the Bacula RT system, and would create and respond to ticket items that describe their project and the various stages they are in their project. Primarily this would be for developers, but there might be a way to give a certain public view of the overall project status.

[Bacula-users] Public online backup services
I have noticed an increasing number of public (Windows centric) online backup services. Sometimes they are free or sometimes there is a modest charge. They give the little Windows people a client program that automatically backs up their stuff to some server somewhere. I thought, wouldn't it be nice if those services ran a Bacula storage daemon for me. I could run a job to backup important stuff, encrypt it and send it to off site storage.

[Bacula-users] Need advice on adapting mtx-changer for Exabyte Magnum 224
All, I was able to get the changer recognzied as /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 on my Solaris 10_x86 system. Setup /kernel/drv/sgen.conf, loaded the driver, created the devlinks, and we're off. My Magnum 224 has 1 robot, and 1 LTO-3 drive. It holds can hold up to 24 tapes in 2 magazines. I currently have 1 fully loaded, 12 tape magazine installed. I'm now trying to get mtx-changer script working correctly by following the Autochanger Resource , http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Autochanger_Resource1.html, chapter of the User Guide. Some commands work, others don't. I tested all functions directly with mtx, and with the mtx-changer script. Mtx does perform all the operations correctly. It can load, unload, list, transfer, etc... However, as I said, some of the mtx-changer script functions aren't working correctly. I am unsure whether or not they need to work with the exact syntax described in the chapter, or if the commands will work, but with an expanded syntax (like the Changer Command) and bacula will function correctly. I peformed the mtx-changer tests in the same order as the guide, using its sytax. I also use a full command line to test if that works. In cases where the output isn't what I expected, I tried using mtx directly. First the mtx-changer list command ./mtx-changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 list 0 /dev/rmt/0 0 1:Full:VolumeTag=A1 2:Full:VolumeTag=A2 3:Full:VolumeTag=A3 4:Full:VolumeTag=A4 5:Full:VolumeTag=A5 6:Full:VolumeTag=A6 7:Full:VolumeTag=A7 8:Full:VolumeTag=A8 9:Full:VolumeTag=A9 10:Full:VolumeTag=A00010 11:Full:VolumeTag=A00011 I know I have a fully loaded magazine in the library, so I check with mtx. [EMAIL PROTECTED]: mtx -f /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 status Storage Changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1:1 Drives, 12 Slots ( 1 Import/Export ) Data Transfer Element 0:Empty Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=A1 Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=A2 Storage Element 3:Full :VolumeTag=A3 Storage Element 4:Full :VolumeTag=A4 Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag=A5 Storage Element 6:Full :VolumeTag=A6 Storage Element 7:Full :VolumeTag=A7 Storage Element 8:Full :VolumeTag=A8 Storage Element 9:Full :VolumeTag=A9 Storage Element 10:Full :VolumeTag=A00010 Storage Element 11:Full :VolumeTag=A00011 Storage Element 12 IMPORT/EXPORT:Full :VolumeTag=A00012 I checked the mtx-changer script and can see whats happening, but am not quite sure what the best way to remedy this is... Next the slots command, which works with the syntax from the guide. ./mtx-changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 slots 0 /dev/rmt/0 0 12 Testing unload with the syntax of the guide produced: ./mtx-changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 unload usage: mtx-changer ctl-device command [slot archive-device drive-index] Insufficient number of arguments arguments given. Command expected 5 arguments So I tried with a full command: ./mtx-changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 unload 0 /dev/rmt/0 0 Unloading Data Transfer Element into Storage Element 0...mtx: Request Sense: Long Report=yes This makes sense as there is no tape in the drive. The load command appears to work: ./mtx-changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 load 3 /dev/rmt/0 0 And loaded proves so: ./mtx-changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 loaded 0 /dev/rmt/0 0 3 Before I ran the next mtx-changer test in the guide, I wanted to see what the list command and mtx status output showed. ./mtx-changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 list 0 /dev/rmt/0 0 1:Full:VolumeTag=A1 2:Full:VolumeTag=A2 4:Full:VolumeTag=A4 5:Full:VolumeTag=A5 6:Full:VolumeTag=A6 7:Full:VolumeTag=A7 8:Full:VolumeTag=A8 9:Full:VolumeTag=A9 10:Full:VolumeTag=A00010 11:Full:VolumeTag=A00011 3:A3 Now in this case, from what I can tell of mtx-changer script, its correct in not displaying slot 12, as there isn't a tape in that slot. Is the drive status being shown correctly though? What format should a loaded tape drive be displayed as by mtx-changer? Mtx status looks like I'd expect mtx -f /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 status Storage Changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1:1 Drives, 12 Slots ( 1 Import/Export ) Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 3 Loaded):VolumeTag = A3 Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=A1 Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=A2 Storage Element 3:Empty:VolumeTag= Storage Element 4:Full :VolumeTag=A4 Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag=A5 Storage Element 6:Full :VolumeTag=A6 Storage Element 7:Full :VolumeTag=A7 Storage Element 8:Full :VolumeTag=A8 Storage Element 9:Full :VolumeTag=A9 Storage Element 10:Full :VolumeTag=A00010 Storage Element 11:Full :VolumeTag=A00011 Storage Element 12 IMPORT/EXPORT:Full :VolumeTag=A00012 Now back to the guide commands. I try to unload the tape: ./mtx-changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 unload usage: mtx-changer ctl-device

Ignoring MS's patent attorneys, has anybody thought out what would be involved in getting Bacula to do something like that? I'm not quite sure how MS got away with patenting that. Well, yeah, I guess I am. They have money lawyers and use them both abusively with no respect for truth or the rights of others. Anyway, Retrospect has been doing that for 25 years or more on Macintosh. I don't know the details, but some sort of file signature that might have more than one parameter, including file size and a checksum or something like that. The system catalog that Retrospect generates includes that information. One step in the backup sequence is to match the newly generated catalog for a particular client against the existing catalogs on the server and determine what things actually need to be backed up. Things which have an exact match for the file signature would get a link to the already backed up instance. Interestingly, I came up with the idea of doing something like that (using name, md5, size, etc.) to identify the correct fonts to use with a document in order to guarantee that it formatted and printed correctly. When I googled the idea, I found that someone had patented it just a couple of months ago. Luckily, it wasn't MS. Anyway, if Bacula developers want to do that, I think it's fair game. However, not being a lawyer, I wouldn't want anyone to count that as official legal advice. I'm just assuming that prior (long standing) implementations ought to negate MS' patent claims, unless it is some very specific technique that they have patented. --- Chris Hoogendyk - O__ Systems Administrator c/ /'_ --- Biology Geology Departments (*) \(*) -- 140 Morrill Science Center ~~ - University of Massachusetts, Amherst [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Erdös 4 - 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.

Re: [Bacula-users] Need advice on adapting mtx-changer for Exabyte Magnum 224
I have a Magnum224 with 24 slots and 2 LTO2 drives but I am using linux and not Solaris. For that I did not have to change anything in the default mtx scripts as it works correctly. I believe the numbering is one slot off though but it does not matter. When I do a manual unload I verify the slot from the screen on the changer itself. I will try to answer the questions I can. One thing I would like to mention is that I am using bacula 2.X now. I mention that because I had a serious problems with 1.38.X and my changer. So everything is back to normal, but I still have a few questions How can I get mtx-changer to display the status of all my slots correctly? Is the format that mtx-changer is displaying the status of a loaded drive correct? Does it matter to bacula that I had to use the full command to unload the drive? Will Bacula know what storage element is in the drive and to move it back to the correct slot? For me bacula always puts the tape back into the stot it took it from. I have never tried manuall loading a tape there and seeing what would happen for an unload. How do I change tapes and update inventory? Use the release command in bacula to release any tape from the drive. Then change the tapes manually on the changer. I recommend doing that by unloading the magazines. Then after you are done with the manual stuff. type update slots in a bacula console. I was considering keeping a cleaning tape in slot 12, will this interfere with Bacula at all? Can I schedule cleaning operations with Bacula? This is fine. I have a CLN_ barcode on my cleaning tape and in my pools I have Cleaning Prefix = CLN so that bacula recognizes that as a cleaning tape. Any responses, or wilingness to share some mtx-changer magic is very appreciated. Also if you've used any replacement for mtx or mtx-changer and want to share the experience that would be great!

[Bacula-users] Incremental backup upgrades to full when another filesystem is added in a file set
Hi All, I know that incremental backup upgrades to full backup, if another file system is added to a file set. The disadvantage of the scheme being, that I will have to take a full backup before schedule which disrupts other backup schedules. Is there anyway to avoid this and let bacula take the incremental like ufsdump where it will just backup the additional added disk? My bacula version is 1.38.5 running on solaris 8.

Re: [Bacula-users] [Bacula-devel] Developer coordination
I have to say i like it quite a bit. Very powerful search features and ways of customizing your view of the tickets in the system. Another vote from here. It's a nice tool, if you add a few features around it. Perl comes bundled with a tool called perlbug which knows how to write a bug report for perl that contains the necessary diagnostic and environmental information to track the bug down. It then sends an email to the bug list where RT automatically picks it up, replies and forwards a copy to the main dev list. Glad you mentioned this; this would be an enormous help (or structure a WWW-based front end to collect the info you want, and use that to actually submit the bug report). You or someone else will probably have to do a few months worth of that's a bug, submit it via on the mailing lists to get people used to the idea, but it would make it easier to work on stuff. Given the out-of-control state of the spam industry, allowing people to directly open tickets in RT via email is a good recipe for a lot of spam noise. We had to do some fairly draconian whitelist processing to avoid getting our support queues hammered by spammers. Disabling the automatic registration function in RT is a good idea -- if you combine it with a tool like perlbug, you at least make it a little bit daunting to annoy lots of people. A perlbug-like interface that talked to a WWW application that did some validation on the input could also manage the whitelist, and then pass the posting on to RT. Another comment: if you're going to use RT, then I'd put in a vote that you decommission mantis and make the switch complete. Mantis works, but you're not going to want to have two places to hunt for stuff, and having the ability to link tickets and relate things within ticketing systems is a really Good Thing that you won't be able to do if both continue to be actively used. - 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] query.sql suggestion

Re: [Bacula-users] Need advice on adapting mtx-changer for Exabyte Magnum 224
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Not to distract folks from your question, but I'm looking for a way to do this for a single tape drive so I can use smartmontools on it... do you have a pointer for a resource on setting up the sgen.conf file? I've been looking and not finding much (though I only suspected sgen was involved until this e-mail). Shon Stephens wrote: All, I was able to get the changer recognzied as /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 on my Solaris 10_x86 system. Setup /kernel/drv/sgen.conf, loaded the driver, created the devlinks, and we're off. My Magnum 224 has 1 robot, and 1 LTO-3 drive. It holds can hold up to 24 tapes in 2 magazines. I currently have 1 fully loaded, 12 tape magazine installed. I'm now trying to get mtx-changer script working correctly by following the Autochanger Resource , http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Autochanger_Resource1.html, chapter of the User Guide. Some commands work, others don't. I tested all functions directly with mtx, and with the mtx-changer script. Mtx does perform all the operations correctly. It can load, unload, list, transfer, etc... However, as I said, some of the mtx-changer script functions aren't working correctly. I am unsure whether or not they need to work with the exact syntax described in the chapter, or if the commands will work, but with an expanded syntax (like the Changer Command) and bacula will function correctly. I peformed the mtx-changer tests in the same order as the guide, using its sytax. I also use a full command line to test if that works. In cases where the output isn't what I expected, I tried using mtx directly. First the mtx-changer list command ./mtx-changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 list 0 /dev/rmt/0 0 1:Full:VolumeTag=A1 2:Full:VolumeTag=A2 3:Full:VolumeTag=A3 4:Full:VolumeTag=A4 5:Full:VolumeTag=A5 6:Full:VolumeTag=A6 7:Full:VolumeTag=A7 8:Full:VolumeTag=A8 9:Full:VolumeTag=A9 10:Full:VolumeTag=A00010 11:Full:VolumeTag=A00011 I know I have a fully loaded magazine in the library, so I check with mtx. [EMAIL PROTECTED]: mtx -f /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 status Storage Changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1:1 Drives, 12 Slots ( 1 Import/Export ) Data Transfer Element 0:Empty Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=A1 Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=A2 Storage Element 3:Full :VolumeTag=A3 Storage Element 4:Full :VolumeTag=A4 Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag=A5 Storage Element 6:Full :VolumeTag=A6 Storage Element 7:Full :VolumeTag=A7 Storage Element 8:Full :VolumeTag=A8 Storage Element 9:Full :VolumeTag=A9 Storage Element 10:Full :VolumeTag=A00010 Storage Element 11:Full :VolumeTag=A00011 Storage Element 12 IMPORT/EXPORT:Full :VolumeTag=A00012 I checked the mtx-changer script and can see whats happening, but am not quite sure what the best way to remedy this is... Next the slots command, which works with the syntax from the guide. ./mtx-changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 slots 0 /dev/rmt/0 0 12 Testing unload with the syntax of the guide produced: ./mtx-changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 unload usage: mtx-changer ctl-device command [slot archive-device drive-index] Insufficient number of arguments arguments given. Command expected 5 arguments So I tried with a full command: ./mtx-changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 unload 0 /dev/rmt/0 0 Unloading Data Transfer Element into Storage Element 0...mtx: Request Sense: Long Report=yes This makes sense as there is no tape in the drive. The load command appears to work: ./mtx-changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 load 3 /dev/rmt/0 0 And loaded proves so: ./mtx-changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 loaded 0 /dev/rmt/0 0 3 Before I ran the next mtx-changer test in the guide, I wanted to see what the list command and mtx status output showed. ./mtx-changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 list 0 /dev/rmt/0 0 1:Full:VolumeTag=A1 2:Full:VolumeTag=A2 4:Full:VolumeTag=A4 5:Full:VolumeTag=A5 6:Full:VolumeTag=A6 7:Full:VolumeTag=A7 8:Full:VolumeTag=A8 9:Full:VolumeTag=A9 10:Full:VolumeTag=A00010 11:Full:VolumeTag=A00011 3:A3 Now in this case, from what I can tell of mtx-changer script, its correct in not displaying slot 12, as there isn't a tape in that slot. Is the drive status being shown correctly though? What format should a loaded tape drive be displayed as by mtx-changer? Mtx status looks like I'd expect mtx -f /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 status Storage Changer

Thanks to David for the snippet this morning.
I wanted to find tapes which were expired (or very close to expired(*))

Here are the 2 snippets I suggest for this.
They're adaptions of the existing entries and the advantage of these is
that an expired-but-not-purged tape will be flagged for inclusion in the
changer _BEFORE_ Bacula asks for it.
:List Volumes Bacula thinks should be removed from changer

FROM Media,Pool,Storage
WHERE Media.PoolId=Pool.PoolId
AND Slot0 AND InChanger=1
AND Media.StorageId=Storage.StorageId
AND ((DATEDIFF(FROM_UNIXTIME(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(LastWritten)
+ (Media.VolRetention * .95)), NOW()) 1
AND ((VolStatus='Used') OR (VolStatus='Full')))
OR (VolStatus='Disabled')
OR (VolStatus='Error'))
ORDER BY VolumeName ASC, Slot ASC;
# 19
:List Volumes Bacula thinks are eligible for the changer
SELECT VolumeName,VolStatus,Storage.Name AS Location,
VolBytes/(1024*1024*1024) AS GB,LastWritten,
FROM_UNIXTIME(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(Media.LastWritten) + Media.VolRetention) AS
Expiry
FROM Media,Pool,Storage
WHERE Media.PoolId=Pool.PoolId
# AND Media.StorageId=Storage.StorageId
AND InChanger=0
AND Storage.Name='MSL6000-changer'
AND ((VolStatus='Purged') OR (VolStatus='Append') OR
(VolStatus='Recycle')
OR DATEDIFF(FROM_UNIXTIME(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(Media.LastWritten)
+ (Media.VolRetention * .95)), NOW()) = 1)
ORDER BY VolumeName ASC, Pool.Name ASC, VolMounts ASC
(*) The selection is 95% of the retention period, rather than Retention
period - 7 days
I experimented a bit, because I'm running MySQL in a version without
DATEDIFF, and came up with something more complicated, due to the time
arithmetic involved. Here is my starting point, in case anyone else
runs older MySQL catalogs:
select VolumeName, LastWritten from Media where VolStatus in
('Append','Used','Full') and
unix_timestamp(LastWritten)+VolRetentionunix_timestamp()+(60*60*24*7);
60*60*24*7 should be one week in seconds, by the way.

Re: [Bacula-users] Need advice on adapting mtx-changer for Exabyte Magnum 224
Hey Ryan, I used an sgen.conf provided by Tandeberg support. I'm not sure if its in their Knowledge Base. Here is what I've got # Exabyte Magnum 224 tape library # sgen-diag=3; # device-type-config-list=changer; # inquiry-config-list=EXABYTE, Magnum 224; #inquiry-config-list= EXABYTE, *; #inquiry-config-list= EXABYTE; # name=sgen class=scsi target=0 lun=1; name=sgen class=scsi target=1 lun=1; name=sgen class=scsi target=2 lun=1; name=sgen class=scsi target=3 lun=1; name=sgen class=scsi target=4 lun=1; name=sgen class=scsi target=5 lun=1; name=sgen class=scsi target=6 lun=1; name=sgen class=scsi target=7 lun=1; name=sgen class=scsi target=8 lun=1; name=sgen class=scsi target=9 lun=1; name=sgen class=scsi target=10 lun=1; name=sgen class=scsi target=11 lun=1; name=sgen class=scsi target=12 lun=1; name=sgen class=scsi target=13 lun=1; name=sgen class=scsi target=14 lun=1; name=sgen class=scsi target=15 lun=1; # end Exabyte Magnum 224 Then I ran add_drv sgen and devfsadm. That created /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1. Let me know if you get a working mtx-changer script. -Shon On 6/28/07, Ryan Novosielski [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Not to distract folks from your question, but I'm looking for a way to do this for a single tape drive so I can use smartmontools on it... do you have a pointer for a resource on setting up the sgen.conf file?

Setup /kernel/drv/sgen.conf, loaded the driver, created the devlinks, and we're off. My Magnum 224 has 1 robot, and 1 LTO-3 drive. It holds can hold up to 24 tapes in 2 magazines. I currently have 1 fully loaded, 12 tape magazine installed. I'm now trying to get mtx-changer script working correctly by following the Autochanger Resource , http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Autochanger_Resource1.html, chapter of the User Guide. Some commands work, others don't. I tested all functions directly with mtx, and with the mtx-changer script. Mtx does perform all the operations correctly. It can load, unload, list, transfer, etc... However, as I said, some of the mtx-changer script functions aren't working correctly. I am unsure whether or not they need to work with the exact syntax described in the chapter, or if the commands will work, but with an expanded syntax (like the Changer Command) and bacula will function correctly. I peformed the mtx-changer tests in the same order as the guide, using its sytax. I also use a full command line to test if that works. In cases where the output isn't what I expected, I tried using mtx directly. First the mtx-changer list command ./mtx-changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 list 0 /dev/rmt/0 0 1:Full:VolumeTag=A1 2:Full:VolumeTag=A2 3:Full:VolumeTag=A3 4:Full:VolumeTag=A4 5:Full:VolumeTag=A5 6:Full:VolumeTag=A6 7:Full:VolumeTag=A7 8:Full:VolumeTag=A8 9:Full:VolumeTag=A9 10:Full:VolumeTag=A00010 11:Full:VolumeTag=A00011 I know I have a fully loaded magazine in the library, so I check with mtx. [EMAIL PROTECTED]: mtx -f /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 status Storage Changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1:1 Drives, 12 Slots ( 1 Import/Export ) Data Transfer Element 0:Empty Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=A1 Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=A2 Storage Element 3:Full :VolumeTag=A3 Storage Element 4:Full :VolumeTag=A4 Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag=A5 Storage Element 6:Full :VolumeTag=A6 Storage Element 7:Full :VolumeTag=A7 Storage Element 8:Full :VolumeTag=A8 Storage Element 9:Full :VolumeTag=A9 Storage Element 10:Full :VolumeTag=A00010 Storage Element 11:Full :VolumeTag=A00011 Storage Element 12 IMPORT/EXPORT:Full :VolumeTag=A00012 I checked the mtx-changer script and can see whats happening, but am not quite sure what the best way to remedy this is... Next the slots command, which works with the syntax from the guide. ./mtx-changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 slots 0 /dev/rmt/0 0 12 Testing unload with the syntax of the guide produced: ./mtx-changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 unload usage: mtx-changer ctl-device command [slot archive-device drive-index] Insufficient number of arguments arguments given. Command expected 5 arguments So I tried with a full command: ./mtx-changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 unload 0 /dev/rmt/0 0 Unloading Data Transfer Element into Storage Element 0...mtx: Request Sense: Long Report=yes This makes sense as there is no tape in the drive. The load command appears to work: ./mtx-changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 load 3 /dev/rmt/0 0 And loaded proves so: ./mtx-changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t4d1 loaded 0

I guess 1.36.3, which is pretty old is probably missing some code that is in md5.c in the current SVN. I'll send a second email with the current md5.c attached -- off list. It *should* compile and run fine in your 1.36.3 code, just save the original for comparison if you run into problems. Thanks for that Kern.

I'm rapidly concluding that (4) is just garbage, due to whatever nonsense our in-house scripts introduced into the system many months ago.

Re: [Bacula-users] Need advice on adapting mtx-changer for Exabyte Magnum 224
I was able to get the mtx-changer script working correctly. I used the solaris-mtx-changer from the examples as a starting point. Then to work with the Magnum 224 and Solaris make a few changes -added a correct PATH statement for my system -Solaris doesn't have seq command, replaced seq in the wait_for_drive function with a perl statement -there are some commands that won't work (unload), unless the tape device is specified. I set this to a default, but still allow it to be set on command line too -changed the awk/sed statements for the list command to be compatible with a slot that is of type IMPORT/EXPORT Everything seems cool now. I do have one very important question: In the statement for the unload command, there is the following: mt -f $device rewoffl If I am using tapes to perform incremental backups, should I be rewinding the tape in the drive before unloading it to load another tape. If its loaded again, will it being rewound previously cause bacula to overwrite files on the tape? I don't believe so, but hopefully someone can answer that for sure. Thanks Shon On 6/28/07, John Drescher [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a Magnum224 with 24 slots and 2 LTO2 drives but I am using linux and not Solaris. For that I did not have to change anything in the default mtx scripts as it works correctly. I believe the numbering is one slot off though but it does not matter. When I do a manual unload I verify the slot from the screen on the changer itself. I will try to answer the questions I can. One thing I would like to mention is that I am using bacula 2.X now. I mention that because I had a serious problems with 1.38.X and my changer. So everything is back to normal, but I still have a few questions How can I get mtx-changer to display the status of all my slots correctly? Is the format that mtx-changer is displaying the status of a loaded drive correct? Does it matter to bacula that I had to use the full command to unload the drive? Will Bacula know what storage element is in the drive and to move it back to the correct slot? For me bacula always puts the tape back into the stot it took it from. I have never tried manuall loading a tape there and seeing what would happen for an unload. How do I change tapes and update inventory? Use the release command in bacula to release any tape from the drive. Then change the tapes manually on the changer. I recommend doing that by unloading the magazines. Then after you are done with the manual stuff. type update slots in a bacula console. I was considering keeping a cleaning tape in slot 12, will this interfere with Bacula at all? Can I schedule cleaning operations with Bacula? This is fine. I have a CLN_ barcode on my cleaning tape and in my pools I have Cleaning Prefix = CLN so that bacula recognizes that as a cleaning tape. Any responses, or wilingness to share some mtx-changer magic is very appreciated. Also if you've used any replacement for mtx or mtx-changer and want to share the experience that would be great!
