Only DB records are pruned, but if the DB shows no volumes on the tape and you have recycling, etc., configured correctly, the volume will be reused on its own.

Re: [Bacula-users] MTSETDRVBUFFER only allowed for root
Hi, Coming at this issue with fresh eyes I noticed you seem to have replaced the 'delete_catalog_backup' script call in your catalog backup job with 'end_of_backup.sh' Unless I'm mistaken, I believe this script is run by the Director, not the storage daemon. By default IIRC, the director runs as user bacula group bacula and probably doesn't have permission to access your tape drive. On top of that, depending on your configuration, the SD probably has your tape drive locked/blocked so the script couldn't eject the tape anyways. One alternative that *should* work, is to replace your mt commands in the script with calls to bconsole instead. I think something like: /usr/sbin/bcnosole -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf < EOF1 Should work. You might need to run the umount command under bconsole and take note of any extra prompts and place the appropriate answers before the EOF1 in the above example. I probably should also mention this is all from memory so is subject to silly mistakes :) Cheers, Troy.

[Bacula-users] Bacula will be included in the next Fedora release
Hi *, Andreas Thienemann's bacula RPMs for Fedora finally were accepted so Fedora 8 will ship Bacula! Fedora EPEL (aka RPMs for CentOS/RHEL 4/5) does not come with all required packages at the moment, so Bacula is not into EPEL yet. According to Andreas this should be solved soon. Bacula on Fedora will use the 'alternatives' system so you can use Bacula with sqlite, MySQL or Postgres as you like :-) The proposed release date for Fedora 8 is 11/08 (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/8/). fs - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Thanks again. This seems to work very well!
I am trying to run a ping script before as well, although it needs some work
to get the address from the Client name.

For tape, the interleaving will make restores painfully slow. Even for disk storage it will slow things down. I prefer to have one job at a time write to a volume so that the jobs are placed sequentially in the volume. This would require multiple drives for tape, but for disk it just requires multiple device resources, each writing to a separate volume. The volumes "loaded" in those devices are regular files and can be in the same partition or even the same directory. > I write data to a LaCie 1 TB disc using Firewire and get throughput of > about 60 GB / hr. > > If you have several customers and can group them then one option is to > partition your disc so that each group uses a different partition and this > can be seen as a different "tape" drive and the jobs should write to each > partition concurrently. > They can be grouped by directories in the same partition. Partitioning will not likely make use of the full storage capacity of the drive because one partition will fill up first, leaving wasted space on the others.

[Bacula-users] script exit code
Hi guys,
I like to run a script before doing the backup. The backup should only
run if the script ran successfully.
How can I do that?
I tried the following things:
I used ClientRunBeforeJob to start the script. If I have "exit 1" for
failures in my script the backup still finishes with an "OK".
Then I tried this as part of the job and separate:
/RunBeforeJob {/
/ Command = .../
/ RunsOnClient = yes/
/ RunsAtJobLevels = All # All, Full, Diff, Inc/
/ AbortJobOnError = No/
/ }
also tried
RunScript {
..
}
/
But this seems to work only on windows machines. I get always error
messages from the director like:
Config error: Keyword "RunScript" not permitted in this resource.
Perhaps you left the trailing brace off of the previous resource.
I'm running bacula on a debian machine with etch and bacula version 2.0.0-1.
Thank you for your help in advance.
Ingo

[Bacula-users] bat
Hello I am trying to build my own bacula rpms (to include some home-made changes). In this RPM, I have to include BAT (what a nice tool, great work Kern and devs ^^), so I need to install Qt 4.2 or better. My distribution has no package for this RPM, so I installed it with the sources. My problem is that the configure tool does not find Qt. I read the configure script, it seems to use pkg-config. What can I do to make configure to find Qt where it is installed. There does not seem to be a --with-qt=$QT_DIRECTORY option in configure. Thank you in advance. PS : I know my english is really bad. If you do not understand my question, please tell me, I will try to explain better. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Re: [Bacula-users] [Bacula-devel] MySQL Duplicate Entry
Hello, I recommend you read the www.bacula.org -> Support page. It explains the best way to get support and help. It is also useful, though probably not for this case, to read the Bugs page as well. I've forwarded your email to the bacula-users list in case they have comments. My recommendation is to read up on the dbcheck program in the manual and run it. It *should* be able to correct this problem. If it does not or if the problem comes up frequently, or you have questions, you might want to ask the bacula-users list. In any future requests, please include the name of the database Engine you are using. That may also be helpful, though it is probably not needed for the current case.

But, when it tries to use a volume which it can't find, it should simply ignore that volume, or mark it as "Error". Volumes marked as "Error" are not used at all. In your case, the simplest solution would be to delete the volume that got created in the catalog, but not on disk. The delete command will only affect the catalog (and it WILL delete important information, so use it with care!). After the volume was deleted, Bacula can automatically recreate a volume with the same name.

Your problem description looks like the autochanger setup might be faulty. Have you tried the btape tests for the autochanger, and can you use mtx-changer from the console? Also, make sure the catalog reflects the actual autochanger inventory. Check using the query to list the volumes in the autochanger, and, if that's not correct, use 'update slots [scan] storage=overland'.

Oh, difficult question :-) It should, but not all TCP/IP stacks seem to support tcp keepalives, and activating them is probably OS dependent, so it's possible that does not always work. At least that's my impression from some discussion about the keepalive problems...

As the volume gets created in the catalog, I'd almost bet the disk is
full or the qouta exceeded.

I assume that other volumes were created successfully on that disk. Of
course, a change in the user the SD runs as might also have happened.

I'm not sure... I had to struggle with memory exhaustion both at my own installation and at customer sites, and even though I could never actually prove a memory leak, I suspect that the database libraries for MySQL sometimes use lots of memory without properly releasing it again. Reasons for my assumptions: (note that this is just a collection of observations, not real debugging) - The problem happened only when using MySQL. - It doesn't matter if the database runs on the same machine as the DIR or remotely. - Once no jobs are active in the DIR, memory consumption goes down again. - For this problem, even jobs that are waiting for resources are active. - The more jobs you run simultaneously, the more likely the memory gets exhausted. My work around so far is to ru n the jobs in non-overlapping bunches, i.e. instead of starting all 40 jobs at once, I run 13, 14, and 13 with different schedules so that the DIR is idle between these bunches. > I have had bacula do 800+ jobs with out an error until having this type of > problem.

Re: [Bacula-users] no label for a volume
Does the file gets created ? What is its size?
I'd make sure that:
* There is enough free space on the disk
* Bacula sd can write to that directory

For large FS I use XFS, but XFS requires reliable hardware (HW RAID + BBU...). 750GB is a size that ext3 can handle very well too. With ext3 you might get problems with the time a fsck takes.

[Bacula-users] Problem loading second tape on an overland library
Hi My server bacula (version 1.38.11) works with a tape library Overland. I use two tapes each week. Sometimes Bacula load the second tape when the first is full. Sometimes not. Before full save of the 10 servers I delete the two tapes with gconsole , stop bacula, erase the two tape, restart bacula and relabel it with gconsole. Sometimes it fill completly the first one and don't go to get the other tape in the other slot. Sometimes bacula change the tape automatiquely and start filling the second one. Example of gconsole messages when it is not working 24-jui 03:21 intbd2-dir: Start Backup JobId 381, Job=Sauveintbd1.2007-07- 23_18.51.04 24-jui 05:32 intbd2-sd: End of Volume "NLU063L2" at 492:10660 on device "LTO- 2N1" (/dev/nst0).

I actually have a fedora rpm created for bacula for FC6 that I've been using (or not actually). I've considered sponsoring an RPM for the fedora tree (there is no extras in F7, it's just "f7" and includes everything including contributed packages). But, I haven't gotten that far yet because I have other packages in the approval process now and was waiting to finish those first. And I was waiting to actually get bacula working for me with DVDs (or else maintaining the RPM won't really be worth it for me ;-).

Yes I've got, the following is the device used in bacula-sd.conf:
Device {
Name = sede_Vol2Samba_storage
Archive Device = /backup/sede/vol2
Device Type = File
Removable Media = No
Random Access = Yes
Media Type = sede_disk_storage
LabelMedia = yes
AutomaticMount = yes
}
and this is the mapping with the storage in bacula-dir.conf:
Storage {
Name = sede-samba-sd
Address = 192.168.1.4
SDPort = 9103
Device = sede_Vol2Samba_storage
Media Type = sede_disk_storage
}
Any idea?
