Do you have previous logs still? If so, check for other messages about

ran the above. Also, maybe they were removed with the delete command?

Maybe they're not necessary and btape should be modified? Don't know about fill results yet - running now. Hopefully I'll encounter the magic incantation to get my autochanger to actually change tapes... In the current Bacula tape driver, Backward Space Record is only used to verify that the last block has been written correctly when a tape gets full, it is not strictly necessary. In addition, the setting of Backward Space File is ignored (bsf must work). You might be able to use these settings on some FBSD tape drives: Fast Forward Space File = yes BSF at EOM = no TWO EOF = no __Martin Thanks. I know that it's optional and not needed. But it seems btape's suggestions regarding sd.conf tweaks may be a bit inconsistent depending upon what flags are already set. This is all a bit confusing on FBSD because per mtio man page various calls referenced in sd.conf docs are supported, e.g. mtiocget, mtbsr, mtfsf, etc. Whether they're supported by SCSI device/driver remains uncertain, as I don't know how to test. In this case I'm using LSI controller and mpt driver. My assumption was that since btape said I needed sd flags such as Backward Space Record, etc. that it did not. But it looks like it does. So I'm wondering whether the issue is with btape erroneously reporting or the mpt driver. To recap, btape and manual backups and restores work but Autochanger is not changing tapes when it should so I suspected something was not quite right in sd.conf. AFAIK, problems with the mechanics of tape changing in the autochanger will not be affected by any of the mtio options. The changer is a separate device with its own protocol. __Martin But is not the drive itself responsible for sending eom so that changer device knows it's time to swap tapes? Yes, but you said that the btape fill test worked, so that suggests eom handling is working. I don't think you ever posted any logs showing exactly what doesn't work! Also, does a backup load the correct tape at the start? __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.

[Bacula-users] Random Backup Failures

started getting random backup failures. A server will fail one day, and
back up just fine the next. A server will back up fine one day and fail

[Bacula-users] bconsole status dir slow
Hi, I'm using Bacula 1.38.11-7 on Debian Sid with a PostgreSQL 8.1 catalog. We backup about 3TB of data per month over a dozen machines. When i run the bconsole, status dir command, it's really slow; specifically the Scheduled Jobs: section. It takes about 3 minutues to repond. I check to see if the proper indexes were created, and they were. So i turn on statement logging in Postgres. During that one status dir command, Bacula issued over 93,000 select queries. Now that just doesn't seem right. Strange how there are only 1,000 unique commands issues, and even that seems outrageously high. Most of them had the form SELECT VolSessionId,VolSessionTime,PoolId,StartTime,EndTime,JobFiles,JobBytes, JobTDate,Job,JobStatus,Type,Level,ClientId,Name FROM Job WHERE JobId=2431 Any idea what's going on here or why bconsole is so slow? Is this a bug? I couldn't find anything in Mantis. thanks, Brian -- Brian DeRocher @ Noblis This email was signed using OpenPGP. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. - 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.

Does this seem like a sane plan?
I use almost the same pattern - but only diskbased
I am running a test over about 20 machines right now, and I *think* I kind
of have this down after looking at the Volume Retention section a few more
times..
I'm on the fence about the differentials
Don't really get that
Never dealt with them before... But I do have a slightly unique(?)
situation. Most of the boxes are in another state, so I want to avoid
full backups when possible since they generally seem to need more than 12
hours to run. So I figure instead of doing a full + incrementals each
week, I'll do one full per month plus a differential each weekend except
for the first to save some time/bandwidth.
We don't (yet) have an autochanger or reliable remote hands at the
datacenter...
oh I see
as we very rarely go back to backups for anything... I'm also wondering
how these choices will impact the general ease of restoring something if
we need to. Again, I'm coming from Amanda, and there's not much
thinking there. When you restore, you just keep feeding it the tapes it
wants.
Here it graps the disk volumes automatically - guess that would be
identical to your experience with Amanda with tapes
Good. I assume it's just going to spit out a message when the next tape
is needed.
Another big question since the fact that catalog retention can be set in
various places. Do I need any retention settings in my client configs? I
see there are File Retention and Job Retention settings that can go in
a client config. Based on what's below do I need anything in my
individual client configs (or elsewhere) to make sure things get purged
out of the catalog properly?
Yes - File Job retention
Here's what I've tentatively got in my bacula-dir config.
I'm just going to add what I think I'm doing after each pool...
pools:
Pool {
Name = Monthly
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = no# Bacula can automatically
recycle Volumes AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired
volumes Volume Retention = 365 days # one year
Volume Use Duration = 23h
Maximum Volumes = 12
LabelFormat = Monthly
}
Don't ever recycle these, request a new tape each full run, keep info from
the fulls in the catalog for a year. Would there be any point to keeping
catalog on these fulls for longer or should I just rely on bscan to get
data off older full tapes?
I don't keep mine because I don't think I will ever need them.
If disaster strikes, I rely on Bscan
I assume after a year, I will have to manually relabel(?) or purge these
tapes to use them again after I put one away for long term storage?
You could also maybe have recycling and then copy the volumes after a year
Pool {
Name = Weekly
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically
recycle Volumes Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 1 month # one month
Volume Use Duration = 6 days
Maximum Volumes = 3
LabelFormat = Weekly
}
This is my differential, and I expect it to request a new tape each week.
It should keep info in the catalog for one month. It will automatically
recycle tapes each month, starting with the oldest volume. Do I have that
right?
Seems so to me
I'm also considering just using one tape/month for this. I would change
Volume Use Duration to 1 month to accomplish that, correct?
Yes, providing enough space on the tape
Pool {
Name = Daily
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically
recycle Volumes Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 5 days # 5 days
Volume Use Duration = 23h
Maximum Volumes = 5
LabelFormat = Daily
}
These are the daily incrementals. I'm expecting these to do incrementals
based on the last differential,
I don't think so - I think incremental is since the last backup whatever, and
by the way differential is since the last full - so they will get bigger
during the month - you may check the manual here.
and for Bacula to ask for a new tape each
day, with a max of 5 tapes. Each week the catalog will be purged of these
records.

Re: [Bacula-users] bconsole status dir slow
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 My understanding is that what it is doing there is checking to see what tapes might be used for these scheduled jobs that are going to occur in the future. How it arrives at that conclusion and what kind of statements it needs to establish that are not things with which I'm familiar. Brian DeRocher wrote: Hi, I'm using Bacula 1.38.11-7 on Debian Sid with a PostgreSQL 8.1 catalog. We backup about 3TB of data per month over a dozen machines. When i run the bconsole, status dir command, it's really slow; specifically the Scheduled Jobs: section. It takes about 3 minutues to repond. I check to see if the proper indexes were created, and they were. So i turn on statement logging in Postgres. During that one status dir command, Bacula issued over 93,000 select queries. Now that just doesn't seem right. Strange how there are only 1,000 unique commands issues, and even that seems outrageously high. Most of them had the form SELECT VolSessionId,VolSessionTime,PoolId,StartTime,EndTime,JobFiles,JobBytes, JobTDate,Job,JobStatus,Type,Level,ClientId,Name FROM Job WHERE JobId=2431 Any idea what's going on here or why bconsole is so slow?

My 1_Monday_Week_2 was last written on 6/25/2007 which is clearly not 19
days of Volume Retention.
Is there something wrong with my understanding of this?
# rpm -qa|grep bacula
bacula-mysql-2.0.3-1
bacula-mtx-2.0.3-1
bacula-wxconsole-2.0.3-1
bacula-gconsole-2.0.3-1
Do you have previous logs still? If so, check for other messages about
1_Monday_Week_2, because it looks like all the jobs had been removed before it
ran the above. Also, maybe they were removed with the delete command?
I don't - but I think I figured out why this happened. Two weeks ago, I
ended up running a 'Full' backup on Monday instead of the Differential
because I changed the FileSet selectors (actually the 'Exclude' portion)
and that made it run onto a second tape. After I had another 'Full'
backup on Friday, I deleted 2_Monday_Week_2 and internally, Bacula must
have figured that since the continuation tape for that particular 'Full'
set was deleted, then the first tape of that set was worthless too so it
just purged it.
I guess I don't mind, but it was clearly unexpected. I did notice that
the same thing didn't happen last night on the TuesdayPool nor did it
happen at any other time so it definitely caught me by surprise. That
Bacula had reached ahead a week in time and 'purged' a backup without
cause didn't make sense given the objective of Bacula to hold on to all
possible backups as long as needed which is also why I have set the
'retention period' to be 19 days on a 3 week rotation.

[Bacula-users] jobs block execution if one FD times out
Dear all, If one of my FD is unreachable (due to network problems) then bacula blocks all other jobs with the message: [job] is waiting for Client [client-name] to connect to Storage File I've tried concurrent jobs, max wait time, everything but it takes a VERY long time for bacula to realize that the FD is unreachable. all the other clients/jobs would say: [job] is waiting on Storage File Concurrent jobs work fine (if all FDs are reachable). I have configured upto 5 concurrent jobs and there are no issues with that. If I can : 1. have bacula continue and process the other jobs even if one FD is unreachable OR 2. some parameter that I can adjust which will timeout bacula faster on unreachable FDs. My network is such that remote offices may well be unreachable and I have to deal with that. Any pointers appreciated.

Re: [Bacula-users] Random Backup Failures
For the benefit of list readers and those that may still be trying to assist me with troubleshooting. I have finally been able to duplicate the errors on my own terms. I could never duplicate this before, because I would sit at a terminal window and make the snapshot, mount the snapshot, browse the snapshot, and umount the snapshot in that order. Finally, I decided to try to *behave* more like I expect a script to work. I opened two terminal windows. In one, I started the snapshot generation process. In the other, I tried to mount the snapshot before it was finished. It, of course, didn't work. More importantly, however, _I got the exact errors that I would randomly get in my automated overnight backups. _Now that I can reproduce the error, fixing and implementing is trivial. Many thanks to you those that provided assistance with this matter.

[Bacula-users] bacula beta can't find qt on compile
I think I did something wrong. I have a centos 4.5 server. I compiled then installed QT from qt-x11-opensource-src-4.3.0 with all defaults. It installed in /usr/local/Rtolltech/Qt-4.3.0. I added /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.3.0/bin to root's path and /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.3.0/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf. Then I ran configure for bacula-2.1.24 as root with the --enable-bat flag. I get the following: . . . checking whether NLS is requested... yes checking for GNU gettext in libc... yes checking whether to use NLS... yes checking where the gettext function comes from... libc checking for msgfmt...

[Bacula-users] Tape Recycling/rotation question
Ok, I have a question about tape recycling and rotation. I have 9 tapes in a rotation. Each tape has a retention period of 2 months. The tapes are switched out when they are full. When I get to tape 9 and bacula then wants to goto the next available appendable volume, which should be tapes 1-3 or so, when I pop in tape 1, shouldn't bacula just write over the data that is on that tape as if the tape where a new unused tape? And shouldn't that tape have a status of recycle or appendable or something when its retention period is over? I'm having some issues with recycled tapes not filling up with the same amount of data as before. They aren't even filling up with the native amount of data (uncompressed). I'd appreciate any assistance. Jason - 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. Just data.

Do you have previous logs still? If so, check for other messages about
1_Monday_Week_2, because it looks like all the jobs had been removed before
it
ran the above. Also, maybe they were removed with the delete command?
I don't - but I think I figured out why this happened. Two weeks ago, I
ended up running a 'Full' backup on Monday instead of the Differential
because I changed the FileSet selectors (actually the 'Exclude' portion)
and that made it run onto a second tape. After I had another 'Full'
backup on Friday, I deleted 2_Monday_Week_2 and internally, Bacula must
have figured that since the continuation tape for that particular 'Full'
set was deleted, then the first tape of that set was worthless too so it
just purged it.
Ah, yes, that explains it. Deleting 2_Monday_Week_2 would have removed all
the job ids from 1_Monday_Week_2 that were also on 2_Monday_Week_2. If that
left nothing on 1_Monday_Week_2, then the next autopruning would mark is
purged.

Re: [Bacula-users] Any FileSet change determine a Full backup
this is one of the first lines in the chapter The FileSet Resource of the manual: Ignore FileSet Changes = yes|no Normally, if you modify the FileSet Include or Exclude lists, the next backup will be forced to a Full so that Bacula can guarantee that any additions or deletions are properly backed up. If this directive is set to yes, any changes you make to the FileSet Include or Exclude lists will be ignored and not cause Bacula to immediately perform a Full backup. The default is no, in which case, if you change the Include or Exclude, Bacula will force a Full backup to ensure that everything is properly backed up. It is not recommended to set this directive to yes. :) Craig White schrieb: On Wed, 2007-07-11 at 12:59 -0500, Zeratul wrote: Hi Every time when I'm doing a change in the FileSet for a client, the next backup is upgraded to Full from Incremental.

If this directive is set to yes, any changes you make to the FileSet Include or Exclude lists, will not force a Full during subsequent backups.

[Bacula-users] Imitate Veritas behaviour
Hello List,
my company is using bacula for quite a while and we find it is a
really cool piece of software! So thanks to Kern and everybody else
involved.
I would like to know if anybody managed to imitate the behaviour of
Veritas as close as possible for the following scenario:
- Customers do full backups in multiple jobs every night
- Customers sometime forget to change the tape, so it shall be
overwritten in that case
- Sometimes customers take out the monthly tape and put it away
- Some customers have autochanger's, some just a normal TapeDrive
but i think that does not matter for this question
Now the behaviour of most commercial backup applications (like Veritas)
is to overwrite the tape in case it has been left in the drive from the
previous day. Only if the tape is overwritten, the records are being
purged from the database otherwise the configured retention periods apply.
I tried to imitate this behaviour with Bacula v1.36, v1.38 and v2.01
without success. Here is the relevant config of a simple DLT drive.
Pool {
Name = WeeklyPool
Pool Type = Backup
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 15h
Volume Use Duration = 15h
Recycle = yes
Recycle Current Volume = yes
Maximum Volumes = 0
}
This works nicely, but obviously the only gotcha is, that records are
being purged from the database every 15 hours (daily). But without
specifying Volume Retention AND Volume Use Duration together it does
not work either.
I thought of using Maximum Volume Jobs, but this is unhandy, since the
database has to be adjusted every time a job is added or deleted.
Another option would be to set AutoPrune to no and drop the records
manually. The best directive would probably be Use Volume Once, but
this is to be deprecated.
I am looking for some lean solution without helper scripts, cronjobs and
just one pool.
Any ideas?
regards
GeE

I have the volume retention set to 4 months, then after that 4 months the tape should then be in recycle or append mode and I should be able to write data to it fresh.

I'm assuming you've done the btape tests prior to using this device? - -- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer III |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGlZ6xmb+gadEcsb4RAo/YAJ4yFO2Xocpk2lGPKVbnUTyHjioTCgCgnn/K 9Vp5BXHfx6dyoUOHA7I9wMU= =gem6 -END PGP SIGNATURE- begin:vcard fn:Ryan Novosielski n:Novosielski;Ryan org:UMDNJ;IST/AST adr;dom:MSB C630;;185 South Orange Avenue;Newark;NJ;07103 email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Systems Programmer III tel;work:(973) 972-0922 tel;fax:(973) 972-7412 tel;pager:(866) 20-UMDNJ x-mozilla-html:FALSE version:2.1 end:vcard - 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] Tape Recycling/rotation question
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Jason King wrote: Ok, I have a question about tape recycling and rotation. I have 9 tapes in a rotation. Each tape has a retention period of 2 months. The tapes are switched out when they are full. When I get to tape 9 and bacula then wants to goto the next available appendable volume, which should be tapes 1-3 or so, when I pop in tape 1, shouldn't bacula just write over the data that is on that tape as if the tape where a new unused tape? And shouldn't that tape have a status of recycle or appendable or something when its retention period is over? I'm having some issues with recycled tapes not filling up with the same amount of data as before. They aren't even filling up with the native amount of data (uncompressed). I'd appreciate any assistance. The progression ought to be that that tape is marked Full if full, or Used if it goes above one of your configured thresholds. After that, it should eventually prune all of the jobs off that tape and then you'll be able to write to it again (and it will be in the states you've described). If your tapes stay Appendable (sounds like not the case, since you've been filling them), they will never recycle. - -- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer III |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGlZ9Ymb+gadEcsb4RAqQeAJ4g31+Lq6pmfldT8N8miqpY7+U8+wCgog5m wBtIDiaoenbumHP24VgVg4o= =M6Zp -END PGP SIGNATURE- begin:vcard fn:Ryan Novosielski n:Novosielski;Ryan org:UMDNJ;IST/AST adr;dom:MSB C630;;185 South Orange Avenue;Newark;NJ;07103 email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Systems Programmer III tel;work:(973) 972-0922 tel;fax:(973) 972-7412 tel;pager:(866) 20-UMDNJ x-mozilla-html:FALSE version:2.1 end:vcard - 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] Restore question
Hi, I have been using bacula for 5 years now and finally comes the first time I need to do a major restore from our tapes. I read the tutorial, tried the instructions and it seemingly worked as designed (I haven't run actual restore yet) but I am not sure which exactly files it was going to restore. I have two pools of tapes: one for full backups (run monthly) and another one for incremental (run every night). The 'restore all' command, when instructed to find JobIds of the most recent backup for a client, correctly located and listed all relevant full backups plus all incremental ones. It then proceeded creating directory tree and in the process went through both latest full backup and all incrementals since. So I assume this tree contains the latest snapshot? Or should I actually run two restores to get all the latest files: one for last full set and another one for all incrementals? I guess this is a stupid question but I'd really appreciate if someone could enlighten me since going through 50,000+ files manually to check the versions restored is really not an option.

Re: [Bacula-users] Any FileSet change determine a Full backup
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Has anyone done a test that verifies exactly what this does? If I add a new directory to my fileset, and I have this directive turns on, do the new files get backed up as part of the incremental? I have personally been doing as Craig said -- adding new major fileset changes near the full backup... but it seems to me that this is not dangerous in all of the cases that I can think of... Here's one I am just about to encounter: 1. Add new FS to machine 2. Add new FS to Bacula FileSet 3. Next day, IgnoreFileSetChanges = yes, does my new filesystem get backed up or does it not? Julien wrote: from the docs: Ignore FileSet Changes = yes|no Normally, if you modify the FileSet Include or Exclude lists, the next backup will be forced to a Full so that Bacula can guarantee that any additions or deletions are properly saved. If this directive is set to yes, any changes you make to the FileSet Include or Exclude lists, will not force a Full during subsequent backups. The default is no, in which case, if you change the Include or Exclude, Bacula will force a Full backup to ensure that everything is properly backed up. We strongly recommend against setting this directive to yes, since doing so may cause you to have an incomplete set of backups.

That behavior affects changes to the FileSet whether they are Include or Exclude selectors. - 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] data error... buffer discarded
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 This one comes up now and again. Probably would be good to add it to the wiki, but another thing might be to get this error message clarified or expanded upon. Probably wouldn't be hard to make it say something that's less scary, if it can determine that it's not a bad case (ie. I just figured out there's no label, mention to the user No initial label or something non-scary). But, then, I never even noticed this, so...

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula beta can't find qt on compile
This is from the Dev List and straight from Kern... It may address the issue you are experiencing. Hello, Scott Barninger brought my attention to the fact that the way I was dealing with including the third party qwt Graphic library for Qt into bat doesn't play well with rpms and such. As a consequence, in the current SVN, I have removed the code that builds that library within the Bacula source code tree during the ./configure process. In order to build Bacula with bat, you either need to build and install the qwt packages on your system, or alternatively, you can download the latest depkgs package (depkgs-11Jul07.tar.gz) and build it. It now includes the qwt package. In addition, you will need to add a new ./configure option, which is: --with-qwt=directory where directory is replaced by the directory under which Bacula can find lib/... and include/... that include the files for qwt. For example, if you have installed qwt on your system, it will by default install in /usr/include and /usr/lib. In that case, you would use: --with-qwt=/usr If you use depkgs, you would use: --with-qwt=.../depkgs/qwt e.g. I use: --with-qwt=$HOME/bacula/depkgs/qwt Currently, if Bacula does not find qwt, or you don't supply the above option, bat will not be built. Please don't forget that you also need --enable-bat on the ./ configure line. Best regards, Kern On Jul 11, 2007, at 12:15 PM, Megan Kispert wrote: I think I did something wrong.
