Re: [Bacula-users] doing always a full backup?
On Friday 27 July 2007 your cat, walking on the keyboard, wrote:
Definitely on the right track, but as you can see, you have no
successful jobs listed there. I don't remember the job status codes
(Martin has listed them after me, I see). Can you look at your log file
and find out what happened to the ends of those listed jobs? That would
be useful information. Also, look for successful jobs or evidence of
pruning. You might also try running one job and watching it the whole
time and seeing if it completes toward the end.
I found in the log this:

so it seems there are errors due to the name of some files, but the backup
seems ok (FD/SD termination are ok and it is listed ok in the terminated
jobs). Could it be that the problem? I ran the job manually and it shows me
only problems about the file names. I guess bacula is still backuping files
skipping those that cannot be inserted in the catalog, right?
One guess I have is that you missed a unit on your time settings and
have tapes with a retention time of 30 seconds rather than 30 days or
something like that. Just a guess. As you can see though, upgrading to a
full is definitely the right thing for Bacula to do.
No, in the pool I've got:
Volume Retention = 365 days
that should be right
Thanks,
Luca

[Bacula-users] backing up MySQL databases
What is the best way to backup MySQL databases? I've got a few web servers that i'd like to backup, which rely heavily on MySQL for offering dynamic content. Should i just backup the /var/lib/mysql/* directly? Does that mean i have to shutdown the MySQL process during the backup? (which means the web server will be unable to offer content, web sites die) Any help would be appreciated - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

(which means the web server will be unable to offer content, web sites die) You can look this : http://wiki.bacula.org/doku.php?id=application_specific_backups#mysql It depends on your mysql backend (innodb, myisam etc...) and the DB size, but i think, you will have a downtime during your backup. If you want have a consistent backup, mysqldump must use --lock-all-tables, so no other (UPDATE and maybe SELECT) operation will be permited during the dump.

Re: [Bacula-users] Restore errors
Hello, In my case spooling brought a remarkable improvement. Where as I had hundreds of errors on one restore I hardly see them now again with spooling in place. Doytchin, I also saw the same behavior like you did. With the concurrent jobs = 1, there were no errors. In this case no matter with or without spooling. Unfortunately setting the concurrent jobs = 1 is not an option in our environment. So my current setting is spooling = on and concurrent jobs = 5. With this settings, it looks like that the Linux systems (OpenSuse and red hat) are ok but Solaris still has problems. For example below is a restore I did on Friday. Of course I don't mind about the door files. But the difference between expected and restored files is ways to much. And even worse, I have no idea what happened to the missing files. I don't know if this has to do something with the restore errors we saw. This could also be something different. During the weekend I moved bacula to a new and separate server. It runs on OpenSuse 10.2 with the latest patches in place now. The few restore jobs I've done so far with this went ok. All in all I still don't feel very comfortable with this, it needs more tests to be done. I will continue with testing and keep you updated.

[Bacula-users] Web configuration tool and autoconfiguration of clients
Hello We have made a web tool to allow admins to configure bacula without having to edit a text file. For now, it is integrated in the server-manager panel of SME distribution, but we will make it stand-alone as soon as possible (and as soon as we will be ok with it - it is still in development). Now, what we would like to do to make the work of admins even easier is to make a tool on the client-side of bacula, which would do an automatic integration of the client. Here is the concept : The user chooses what directories and files he wants to be backed up, and what directories and files he does NOT want to be backed up (definition of the FileSet). Then, he chooses when he wants the backup to happen (definition of the schedule). Then, he asks the server (on which the director is installed) to give him a password, and to create a restricted console and to send him the password. Then, it would use our auto-configuration tool to add himself as a client with his schedule and fileset to the configuration of bacula, and to create an appropriate Job. The details still have to be discussed (how do we know who is the director : do we provide its address, or do we do a broadcast to discover the director present on the network ? - How do we ensure secrecy when we are being provided a password ?). If you are interested in this project, please contact us. Jerome MASSANO ASPerience - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Re: [Bacula-users] Restore errors
Hello, unfortunately spooling didn't helped here, so may you just had a chance not getting errors in your case? A rule is that if it hapens once that means it could happen more. And here is what we've got in one of our tests: --- enabled spooling (Maximum Job Spool Size = 500m) performed the same and AGAIN the first job I tested to restore ~44K files are missing: Files Expected: 348,120 Files Restored: 304,654 Another restore jobs is similar: Files Expected: 190,741 Files Restored: 154,016 The case is slightly different as this time there is NO other errors generated (like file with wrong size or the Record header file index not equal). --- As it shows spooling doesn't solve the problem of concurrent jobs. Regards. Monday, July 30, 2007, 11:03:56 AM: MWa Hello, MWa In my case spooling brought a remarkable improvement. Where as I had MWa hundreds of errors on one restore I hardly see them now again with MWa spooling in place. MWa Doytchin, MWa I also saw the same behavior like you did. With the concurrent jobs = 1, MWa there were no errors. In this case no matter with or without spooling. MWa Unfortunately setting the concurrent jobs = 1 is not an option in our MWa environment. So my current setting is spooling = on and concurrent jobs MWa = 5. MWa With this settings, it looks like that the Linux systems (OpenSuse and MWa red hat) are ok but Solaris still has problems. MWa For example below is a restore I did on Friday. Of course I don't mind MWa about the door files. But the difference between expected and restored MWa files is ways to much. And even worse, I have no idea what happened to MWa the missing files. I don't know if this has to do something with the MWa restore errors we saw. This could also be something different. MWa During the weekend I moved bacula to a new and separate server. It runs MWa on OpenSuse 10.2 with the latest patches in place now. The few restore MWa jobs I've done so far with this went ok. MWa All in all I still don't feel very comfortable with this, it needs more MWa tests to be done. I will continue with testing and keep you updated.

It works fine until two drive got tape from different pool. Let's assume there's one tape in drive0, pool weekly; one tape in drive1, pool daily; one job running on each tapes. If a new daily job is run, bacula will try to run it on drive0 and then fails because the drive is in use. Is this bug supposed to be fixed in 2.2 ? This problem is fixed in the current 2.1.26 beta version. If you want to be sure, I recommend that you test it. For what platforms is 'bat' available? Should it build from source on any UNIX OS? Which have been tested? I can test on HP-UX, IRIX and Solaris. I imagine Linux is covered. I do not have tape drives available on anything but Solaris though. Small update to what I previously answered. Just for grins, I recently loaded a Fedora 7 from a LiveCD on my laptop (installing from a LiveCD is rather cool). They seem to have made a lot of progress since FC5, which was a disaster for me, but they still don't check all of their rpms very well. For example, they apparently have Qt4 and the Qt4 development libraries available, at least you can download an rpm and install it. However, their silly qt4-devel package doesn't contain any binaries, headers, or libaries -- really cool Fedora :-( Well aside from that the system runs really well -- oh there is one small non-Fedora problem -- the KDE Kmail IMAP and SMTP dialogs are too big to fit on my screen and cannot be resized, which means that you need to know how to use the OK button accelerator or you cannot answer OK. So thanks to Fedora, I have separated the qwt code out of the current depkgs package and created a new depkgs-qt that has both Qt4 (4.3) and the qwt package (Graphics library). This means that as long as you have a reasonably recent GNU g++ compiler and tools (make, ...) on your machine, you will be able to build bat.

[Bacula-users] Recycling volumes
Hi all!!Lately I'm having problems with extra volumes created in a pool. I have a pool for each computer with 5 volumes for each pool (one for day). This is my pool's resource: Pool {Name = UserPoolPool Type = BackupRecycle = yesAutoPrune = yesVolume Retention = 162hMaximum Volume Jobs = 1Maximum Volumes = 5Label Format = User-With my configuration I try to perform a backup of each computer from Monday to Friday in the way each day and each computer uses its own pool and only one volume a day until complete 5 volumes in a week so the next week bacula can recycle the oldest volume which has the volume retention expired.The problem is that one computer creates extra volumes in its pool because the size of the volume which has to be recycle is greater than 1G. As I understand, when a job starts running, bacula performs internal operations to find the next volume to use. If recycle flag is set and the volume retention is expired, bacula has to recycle the volume and use it again to save the new backup. But, somehow, when the volume is greater than 1G, bacula has no time to recycle the volume so tries to create a new one.I want to avoid it because of the risk of filling the hard disk. With Maximum Volumes = 5 appears a message:Intervention needed for...17-Jul 14:20 i8-sd: Job is waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes.Please use the label command to create a new Volume for:Storage: FileStorageMedia type: FilePool: PoolI use the console and realized that the pool has one volume recycled, but maybe bacula has no time to reuse the volume and the job remains blocking the next jobs until I use the label command or cancel the job to run it manuallyIt seems like when the Bacula looks for an appendable or recycled volume, the process that recycles the volumes are still working so any volume has been marked as Recycle. But this problem only occurs when the volume is greater than 1G.Do you know any way of recycling automaticly before a job starts running?How can I avoid the extra volumes creation without needing to use the label or cancel command to run the job?I hope you can help meThanks

[Bacula-users] a small setup issue.
Hello,
I need a tiny bit of guidance and I was hoping you could help me out.
I've included all of the appropriate, requested information below.
* Your operating system - Ubuntu 7.04 server, kernel version
2.6.20-16-server #2 SMP
* The version of Bacula you are using - 1.38.11-7ubuntu6
* A clear and concise
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/%7Esgtatham/bugs.html
description of the problem
I can run btape -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf and the
test runs perfect.
I can make a backup and read the files off of the tape
using tar cvf /dev/nst0 . without issue as well so, I know that the tape
works and that it works through the bacula-sd.conf file.
The problem is when I try to run bconsole. I get an
error saying that it cannot communicate with the storage device.
I have gone through the bacula-dir.conf backwards and
forwards and I can't see any thing wrong with it. I believe the Storage
device is defined properly and called out in the two places in the file
correctly as well.
* The kind of tape drive you have - Sony SDT-11000/PB DDS-4
* Have you run the *btape* test command? - yes, and it ran perfectly
* The database you are using: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQLite3 -
We are running PostgreSQL ver. 8.1.8-1ubuntu3
I can start the tray monitor as well and it works fine and reports that the Device
DDS-4 (/dev/nst0) open but no Bacula volume is mounted so, I am assuming that my
bacula-sd.conf file is correct.
My assumption is that I have an issue with the bacula-dir.conf file but, I can't find it. I have poured over the file for the last day and 1/2 yet nothing is jumping out at me. I was hoping you could take a look and see where I have errored. I've attached my bacula-dir.conf, bacula-sd.conf and bacula-fd.conf files for your review as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Re: [Bacula-users] Config problem with IBM TS3200
Im Running debian with a 2.6.18 kernel.
The IBM library was running perfectly with a windows server, so i don't
think that the problem it's hardware error.
I don't have to check the scsi connections beacause this library only
works on fibre channel.
Have you an library tape with at least 2 drives? could you show me your
bacula-sd.conf?
Thx in advance.

Re: [Bacula-users] Restore errors
I think that this (serious) bug could be forwarded to -devel list ... as it seems no to be a configuration mistake ? On Mon, 2007-07-30 at 16:56 +0300, Doytchin Spiridonov wrote: Hello, unfortunately spooling didn't helped here, so may you just had a chance not getting errors in your case? A rule is that if it hapens once that means it could happen more. And here is what we've got in one of our tests: --- enabled spooling (Maximum Job Spool Size = 500m) performed the same and AGAIN the first job I tested to restore ~44K files are missing: Files Expected: 348,120 Files Restored: 304,654 Another restore jobs is similar: Files Expected: 190,741 Files Restored: 154,016 The case is slightly different as this time there is NO other errors generated (like file with wrong size or the Record header file index not equal). --- As it shows spooling doesn't solve the problem of concurrent jobs. Regards. Monday, July 30, 2007, 11:03:56 AM: MWa Hello, MWa In my case spooling brought a remarkable improvement. Where as I had MWa hundreds of errors on one restore I hardly see them now again with MWa spooling in place. MWa Doytchin, MWa I also saw the same behavior like you did. With the concurrent jobs = 1, MWa there were no errors. In this case no matter with or without spooling. MWa Unfortunately setting the concurrent jobs = 1 is not an option in our MWa environment. So my current setting is spooling = on and concurrent jobs MWa = 5. MWa With this settings, it looks like that the Linux systems (OpenSuse and MWa red hat) are ok but Solaris still has problems. MWa For example below is a restore I did on Friday. Of course I don't mind MWa about the door files. But the difference between expected and restored MWa files is ways to much. And even worse, I have no idea what happened to MWa the missing files. I don't know if this has to do something with the MWa restore errors we saw. This could also be something different. MWa During the weekend I moved bacula to a new and separate server. It runs MWa on OpenSuse 10.2 with the latest patches in place now. The few restore MWa jobs I've done so far with this went ok. MWa All in all I still don't feel very comfortable with this, it needs more MWa tests to be done. I will continue with testing and keep you updated.

Re: [Bacula-users] [Bacula-devel] Fairly reproducable 2.0.3 -sd crash, traceback attached
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Kern Sibbald wrote: On Sunday 29 July 2007 19:28, Ryan Novosielski wrote: Hi all, Ever since I added the TapeAlert/smartmonctl command to my tape drive, it appears as if I get a fairly regular crash of that bacula-sd. I know there is a case where Bacula and the utility can go for the tape drive at the same time and cause problems, but I don't think Bacula should go KABOOM when this happens. The traceback, unfortunately, doesn't demangle the C++ subroutine names nor provide source line numbers, but the best that I can tell is that the heap has been corrupted, Bacula detects is, then does a Kaboom (self inflicted seg fault). I'm not too good with development tools -- is there a reason this would be that is on my end (stripped binaries or something like that)? Are you by any chance pointing the tapealert/smartmonctl at the tape drive device rather than at the scsi control device? If you are, I am not surprised, and you should remove it as two different programs cannot properly exist using the same tape device. Yes. And I actually will remove that, but near as I can tell, Solaris does not have a way of addressing the tape drive as two different devices. From what I've read, the reason for this is that Solaris supposedly has the ability to do two actions on the device at once -- I'm not sure where I read that though in order to confirm it. I went looking for information about using the 'sgen' Solaris driver in order to instead use the control interface, but it appears as if sgen is only used to pick up devices that don't already have a type elsewhere; in other words, I could stop using 'st' and start using 'sgen', but that really wouldn't get me anywhere. Perhaps someone else will read about this and give me a pointer. If you are pointing it at the scsi control device, I would be interested to see what the normal output of the command gives back as there may be a possible buffer overrun though that really should not happen. In any case, I recommend that you remove the tape alert for a time and see if that eliminates the problem. I suspect it will, as it only showed up when I added it, near as I can tell. A KABOOM seems like something that ought not happen either way, though, although I suppose if something is corrupting buffers, it can't be avoided. Curious, though, as the tapealert often returns Device busy which would seem to mean that there's no change that the other thing using the device would actually have an error. This does not happen every day, but every once in awhile... it occurs at the end of a set of concurrent backups to tape -- all incrementals, 7 in total. By the time my catalog backup runs 2 hours later, the -sd has died and there is no connection made. The host machine is running Solaris 9, and the binaries are from BlastWave (currently version 2.0.3 with 2.0.2 clients, but until the day before yesterday, the admin/server machine was running 2.0.2 with identical results). I have not tried 2.1.x, but I would not be allowed to run a production schedule on a beta -- perhaps an exact copy on the same machine but writing to disk might yield the same results, but I suspect that this is caused by the TapeAlert, so maybe not. For a problem with tape alert, it is very unlikely that upgrading to 2.1.x will help. Thanks for any insights you can provide -- I'd be happy to report a bug if it is needed. Until I see your response and think about it, I don't think this is worth a bug report, at least not just yet. OK, that is fine. If there's any easy way to try to get more information out of this thing, let me know. I actually had a fair amount of trouble getting this much in the first place -- if you run your bacula-dir as a non-root user as one really should, it then cannot run proper traces against daemons that run as root. I had to involve sudo; originally, I had no idea that this even ran by itself until I saw a number of empty traceback e-mails in root's box. - -- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer II |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGrgPumb+gadEcsb4RAj8cAJ9dmkngZlOHQBByPaP7iTRC/Ex37QCg1rqM cUnnOqLvp4fdi51FyPoMY2s= =cDNA -END PGP SIGNATURE- - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

One quick question before I get back to programming. Did you restart all the bacula daemons after you changed the password? I ask that because changing the .conf files does not take effect until restarting or issuing the reload command in a working console. John - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Hello, If I issue several restore jobs and one of them fails, the job list doesn't give enough information to know which job was being restored, it only gives the name of the default restore job.

Re: [Bacula-users] [Bacula-devel] MySQL Duplicate Entry
On Mon, 2007-07-30 at 11:47 -0400, Ryan Novosielski wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Did you run this with the modify database flag set? I tried it both ways (without and with the modification flag set). To do the elimination, dbcheck first runs a checking scan (an OUTER SELECT on Path and File), saves the results and then does the deletions. I tried just the check scan from the MySQL command line and even that by itself took a while (that is, I didn't wait for it to complete). I tried my hand at a few variations on the SELECT, for example using LIMIT to reduce the number of matches. However, there seems to be something about the GROUP BY and HAVING options that appears to require the OUTER SELECT to complete before it sorts and filters the list. (I've just exhausted my understanding of SQL.) Thanks, Allen This is actually a problem I think should be fixed, and the fix should be backported. Apparently if you search for records without a modify flag, there are situations where the thing can loop forever. I'm not sure where that stands now, but I remember having the same issue. I seem to recall that more recent versions are much better behaved, but I think if the fixes are relatively easy, a backport to at least 1.38.x is in order. I wonder if one can use new dbcheck against the old DB. Allen Barnett wrote: Hi, Thanks to Kern and Arno for pointing me to the dbcheck program (I should have read the fine manual).

I know there is a case where Bacula and the utility can go for the tape drive at the same time and cause problems, but I don't think Bacula should go KABOOM when this happens. The traceback, unfortunately, doesn't demangle the C++ subroutine names nor provide source line numbers, but the best that I can tell is that the heap has been corrupted, Bacula detects is, then does a Kaboom (self inflicted seg fault). I'm not too good with development tools -- is there a reason this would be that is on my end (stripped binaries or something like that)? Yes, if they are stripped, that would at least explain the lack of line numbers and possibly the fact that the names were not demangled. Are you by any chance pointing the tapealert/smartmonctl at the tape drive device rather than at the scsi control device? If you are, I am not surprised, and you should remove it as two different programs cannot properly exist using the same tape device. Yes. Well, that is almost surely the cause of the problem. And I actually will remove that, but near as I can tell, Solaris does not have a way of addressing the tape drive as two different devices. Well, Solaris has 20 ways to do everything connected with devices. In any case, it is not a question of addressing the tape drive as two different devices. One addresses the tape drive through the standard tape driver, which is the /dev/rmt/ stuff. The other is a SCSI pass through driver that allow SCSI commands to go directly to the SCSI controller, and if I remember right they are addressed with /dev/sg/. That you will need to find out from someone else on the list or from your manuals -- I no longer have a Solaris. From what I've read, the reason for this is that Solaris supposedly has the ability to do two actions on the device at once -- I'm not sure where I read that though in order to confirm it. I went looking for information about using the 'sgen' Solaris driver in order to instead use the control interface, but it appears as if sgen is only used to pick up devices that don't already have a type elsewhere; in other words, I could stop using 'st' and start using 'sgen', but that really wouldn't get me anywhere. Perhaps someone else will read about this and give me a pointer. I'll leave this to others. If you are pointing it at the scsi control device, I would be interested to see what the normal output of the command gives back as there may be a possible buffer overrun though that really should not happen. In any case, I recommend that you remove the tape alert for a time and see if that eliminates the problem. I suspect it will, as it only showed up when I added it, near as I can tell. A KABOOM seems like something that ought not happen either way, though, although I suppose if something is corrupting buffers, it can't be avoided. Curious, though, as the tapealert often returns Device busy which would seem to mean that there's no change that the other thing using the device would actually have an error. Well, when Bacula calls the tapealert command, it releases the drive, so it doesn't get a busy. Many OSes such as Linux and Solaris permit addressing the SCSI controller directly through the normal tape driver, but this is a very bad idea (it is apparently what you are doing), and from everything users have said, it causes lots of problems such as resetting the SCSI controller. If you do that, all bets are off concerning Bacula correctly interfacing through the normal tape driver. If you would like to track it down, I think it would be good to eliminate the KABOOM if it is possible (it may well not be possible). However, you *are* apparently doing something very non-standard, and that is where things go wrong. This does not happen every day, but every once in awhile... it occurs at the end of a set of concurrent backups to tape -- all incrementals, 7 in total. By the time my catalog backup runs 2 hours later, the -sd has died and there is no connection made. The host machine is running Solaris 9, and the binaries are from BlastWave (currently version 2.0.3 with 2.0.2 clients, but until the day before yesterday, the admin/server machine was running 2.0.2 with identical results). I have not tried 2.1.x, but I would not be allowed to run a production schedule on a beta -- perhaps an exact copy on the same machine but writing to disk might yield the same results, but I suspect that this is caused by the TapeAlert, so maybe not. For a problem with tape alert, it is very unlikely that upgrading to 2.1.x will help. Thanks for any insights you can

The st driver supports scsi pass through via the uscsi(7I) interface, and mtx (and therefore tapeinfo) does indeed use this interface on solaris. from mtx sources: mtx.h:/* the 'uscsi' interface, as used on Solaris: */ mtx.h:#include sys/scsi/impl/uscsi.h man uscsi: Ioctl Requests uscsi(7I) NAME uscsi - user SCSI command interface SYNOPSIS #include sys/scsi/impl/uscsi.h ioctl(int fildes, int request, struct uscsi_cmd *cmd); DESCRIPTION The uscsi command is very powerful and somewhat dangerous; therefore it has some permission restrictions. See WARNINGS for more details. Drivers supporting this ioctl(2) provide a general interface allowing user-level applications to cause individual SCSI commands to be directed to a particular SCSI or ATAPI device under control of that driver. The uscsi command is supported by the sd driver for SCSI disks and ATAPI CD-ROM drives, and by the st driver for SCSI tape drives. uscsi may also be supported by other device drivers; see the specific device driver manual page for complete information. The uscsi(7I) interface is only accessible by root. The sgen(7D) driver exports the uscsi(7I) interface to user (non root) processes. But the sgen(7D) man page clearly states: In general, the uscsi(7I) interface exported by sd(7D) or st(7D) should be used to gain access to direct access and sequential devices. Sorry, but I can't say more since I have no solaris box with an attached tape right now. So I can't test any interaction between bacula and tapeinfo. If you are pointing it at the scsi control device, I would be interested to see what the normal output of the command gives back as there may be a possible buffer overrun though that really should not happen. In any case, I recommend that you remove the tape alert for a time and see if that eliminates the problem. I suspect it will, as it only showed up when I added it, near as I can tell.

Don't know what-all happens in the code at that point, but I don't find out the -sd has crashed until the next backup fails. - -- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer II |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGriWKmb+gadEcsb4RAoZ8AJoDFK99GqbpHZM6nftnzLGF37cL2QCgpg4y fWBfcWoPaJzeLKg20jYieXE= =uL4V -END PGP SIGNATURE- - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Josh Fisher wrote: Support wrote: Dear Shon I have a similar situation and solved it byusing this stargegy. Firstly the disk volumes should be treated as Tape drives in that only onle volume can be opened at a time but you can have many concurrent jobs writing to that volume - my setting is for a maximum of 5 concurrent jobs/ The problem with concurrent jobs writing to the same volume is that job data is interleaved on the volume. 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. Spooling also solves this problem. Concurrent jobs are then written to tape in a sane manner. This helps with shoeshining on a tape drive too, as data is fed as fast as it can be written. 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. Grouping by directory and using a single partition on the drive allows the full capacity of the drive to be used. As for full backups I use job migration - ie the jobs are written to disc and then migrated to tape. If you need my config files I will email them to you. Regards Stephen Carr Shon Stephens wrote: I'm trying to understand job concurrency in Bacula and what strategy I should use for backing up clients. Its likely that I will have to backup around 50 clients. My strategy is to write incrementals to disk volumes and fulls to tapes. I assume its possible for Bacula to write to multiple disk volumes simultaneously if configured to do so, but what about tapes? I have my tapes divided by customer so that Customer1 Pool - 8 volumes, 2 in slots each week Customer2 Pool - 8 volumes, 2 in slots each week Can Bacula write a job from 2 different clients(file daemons) in Customer1 Pool at the same time? How does this work? I understand that Bacula can't write a job from Customer1 Pool and Customer2 Pool at the same time because these are different volumes. Also can bacula simultaneously spool to disk and write to tape for the same job? I'm looking for good advice on how to streamline Bacula so that I'm not always running backups or have to many jobs waiting on resources in use.

I think there is a bug in bnet_thread_server that causes the Kaboom.
The dlist sockfds contains the fd_ptr objects, which are allocated with
alloca. The problem is that the dlist destructor will deallocate them using
free (i.e. sm_free). You can see this in the backtrace, where the argument
to
sm_free is a pointer into the stack (0xffbff028).
Oh, that is cute and clever of you to figure out. I'll *certainly* take a
look at it.
I've never seen such a crash so it must only normally happen on shutdown. Do
you have any idea what is triggering the code that fails in this case?
Right, I can't see any normal way for the main loop of bnet_thread_server to
exit in the SD.
Something I've wondered occasionally though: is it guaranteed that the use of
errno in code like this will give the error generated by select?
if ((stat = select(maxfd + 1, sockset, NULL, NULL, NULL)) 0) {
berrno be; /* capture errno */
if (errno == EINTR)...
I.e. could the berrno constructor (poolmem, smartalloc etc) change errno?

[Bacula-users] Bacula setup plans - expert's help needed please
Hello everybody, I need a little help from someone more experienced with Bacula than I am. My cluster consists of ~40 clients, the total amount of data that has to be backed up is around 6 TB. To accomplish this I have two HP Ultrium 960 (400/800GB) and a sufficient number of tapes. I am planning to have a 'full' backup of all my clients every two or three weeks and 'incrementals' all other workdays. My plan is, to have about three computers per night in the 'full' backup, all others in the 'incremental'. The next night, the next three in the 'full' and so on, so that after ~3 weeks all clients have been fully backuped and we will start with the first ones again. According to the manual, the best way to do so is to define two pools, a 'full' and an 'incremental' which also allows me to write to the two tape drives simultaneously (one for each pool), which is mandatory since backups have to be done quite quickly at my site. In addition I have to run my backups on a 'daily tape rotation' basis. So, if I understand correctly, I would need another 5 pools (mo-fri). That makes 10 pools for mo/fr, full/inc. Now I have two questions. * Does this setup sound reasonable to you, or did I get something completely wrong? I would be happy, if there was an easier way... * How do I know, how many tapes I have to assign to each pool, because the amount of data is by far not constant per day and client. I do not want to have unused tapes, only because they were needed once. Let me give you an example. Let's assume, that usually one tape for the 'full' and one tape for the 'incremental' per night is sufficient. Then I would assign one tape to each pool. During one Tuesday night the 'full'-pool runs out of tape, because some user has produced a TB of data the last day. Then, I guess, I would have to add another volume to the 'full-tuesday' pool and finish the backup on Wednesday morning, right? But what happens, if all other Tuesdays one tape is sufficient again ? Do I have to put a date sticker on that once used 'extra' tape and check/erase that tape manually after the first tuesday run where it was not needed so that I could use it for another day's oversize backup? You see, the very same setup was very easy in Amanda I used up to now. The only thing I had to do was to create two identical setups and put 50% of my clients in the one (using tape1) and the other 50% in the otherone using tape2, tell Amanda how many tapes I have and that's it. All the full, incremental and daily rotation thing is handled fully automatically. I would be very happy if somebody could help me with these questions!

We just got a shiny new tape library and I'd like to move our old LTO2 tapes into it from our old one. Anyone have experience moving tapes like this? I've set-up a new server to act as just the SD and have the new library connected to it. It is labeling tapes right now. Our old library is connected to the SD/DIR. The thing that concerns me is that the barcodes overlap, but the old library is LTO2 and the new one is LTO3. It seems that the LTO format is part of the barcode of the new tapes, but the old ones don't record it. Old tapes: Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=01 Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=02 Storage Element 3:Full :VolumeTag=03 New tapes: Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=01L3 Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=02L3 Storage Element 3:Full :VolumeTag=03L3 I think I should be able to just move the tapes to the new library, but I'm not sure if bacula would get confused.

Re: [Bacula-users] backing up MySQL databases
Hi, Just curious, but is there a reason you did it this way around instead of having a 'ClientRunBeforeJob' script launch the dump process from within Bacula? You end up with the same result in the end I guess and I was wondering if there was more to it than just personal preference. Cheers, Troy.

I take my backups from the slave, which is rarely more than 60 seconds behind the master. I've got a cron job that calls a script that does the following: 1) Checks if this is an odd or even week. I only want backups every two weeks 2) Deletes the backup on disk from 4 weeks ago and moves the backup from two weeks ago to 'backup.old' 3) Stops the slave process 4) Locks the tables 5) Using mysqldump, dumps all tables from all databases to a known backup folder, '/data/staging/mysql_backup', gzipping them along the way 6) Restarts the slave process 7) Calls bacula to run the backup job 'backup_database', which has '/data/staging/mysql_backup' as its Fileset: /etc/bacula/bconsole -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf END_OF_DATA run job=backup_database yes END_OF_DATA In the end, I have a copy of the databases on tape and two copies on a RAID device separate from where the database resides. -- D, who sometimes wears both a belt and suspenders - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

When I click on the -dir button, it states that I You must specify a use catalog name command before continuing I may be wrong but I believe this is a bug in the tray-monitor that was introduced sometime in version 1.38 that was fixed later on as it works now and I am running 2.1.X versions at home and at work.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula setup plans - expert's help needed please
Ralf Auer wrote: Hello everybody, I need a little help from someone more experienced with Bacula than I am. My cluster consists of ~40 clients, the total amount of data that has to be backed up is around 6 TB. To accomplish this I have two HP Ultrium 960 (400/800GB) and a sufficient number of tapes. Sounds like a pair of LTO3 drives. Are they just a pair of standalone drives, or do you have a library with a tape changer? I am planning to have a 'full' backup of all my clients every two or three weeks and 'incrementals' all other workdays. You may also want to throw in some differential backups in there as well, to a) cut down on the number of tapes that will be required to go through on a restore, and b) reduce the impact of losing a tape. My plan is, to have about three computers per night in the 'full' backup, all others in the 'incremental'. The next night, the next three in the 'full' and so on, so that after ~3 weeks all clients have been fully backuped and we will start with the first ones again. Sounds quite reasonable - I'm doing a similar rotation here. According to the manual, the best way to do so is to define two pools, a 'full' and an 'incremental' which also allows me to write to the two tape drives simultaneously (one for each pool), which is mandatory since backups have to be done quite quickly at my site. While this may be a good idea in terms of managing which backups go to which volumes, but it's by no means necessary, especially if you've got a tape library. I have a two drive library here, and have four simultaneous backups going to two tapes in the same pool at a time via spooling. In addition I have to run my backups on a 'daily tape rotation' basis. So, if I understand correctly, I would need another 5 pools (mo-fri). That makes 10 pools for mo/fr, full/inc. That's one option if you want to force a particular tape to be used on a particular day. The usual reason is you've got exactly enough tapes for one cycle, and you want to just cycle through them. Now I have two questions. * Does this setup sound reasonable to you, or did I get something completely wrong? I would be happy, if there was an easier way... It sounds reasonable as a first pass. * How do I know, how many tapes I have to assign to each pool, because the amount of data is by far not constant per day and client. I do not want to have unused tapes, only because they were needed once. Simple answer - enough tapes to hold however much data you back up =) Let me give you an example. Let's assume, that usually one tape for the 'full' and one tape for the 'incremental' per night is sufficient. Then I would assign one tape to each pool. During one Tuesday night the 'full'-pool runs out of tape, because some user has produced a TB of data the last day. Then, I guess, I would have to add another volume to the 'full-tuesday' pool and finish the backup on Wednesday morning, right? But what happens, if all other Tuesdays one tape is sufficient again ? Do I have to put a date sticker on that once used 'extra' tape and check/erase that tape manually after the first tuesday run where it was not needed so that I could use it for another day's oversize backup? You see, the very same setup was very easy in Amanda I used up to now. The only thing I had to do was to create two identical setups and put 50% of my clients in the one (using tape1) and the other 50% in the otherone using tape2, tell Amanda how many tapes I have and that's it. All the full, incremental and daily rotation thing is handled fully automatically. Okay, more seriously, 90% of the time, the best answer in Bacula is actually not to try to control that tightly what data goes on what volume. In this case, for example, (assuming that you have a library) a better way might be to simply set a volume use duration period of 24 hours. That would mean that 24 hours after each volume is used, it would be marked in the catalog such that no more backups would be placed onto it until it gets recycled, which in turn is controlled by the retention periods. Also note that with a library, spanning tapes is a pretty trivial event for Bacula. Once it hits the end of a tape, it simply grabs another volume from the appropriate pool and pick up right where it left off. This is a particularly big advantage over Amanda if you've got a single fileset that is larger than your volume size, as (the last time I looked, at least) Amanda couldn't span tapes. Another advantage for you by doing this would be that you can simply stuff your library full of tapes, and put them into a scratch pool. Bacula will then simply shuffle a tape out of the scratch pool into the full or incremental pool as needed, so you won't have to worry about guessing how many tapes are needed for a particular night's backups. Volume management in Bacula is fundamentally different from Amanda, and very flexible, but that flexibility brings with it
Re: [Bacula-users] a small setup issue.
The problem is when I try to run bconsole. I get an error saying that it cannot communicate with the storage device. When exactly does this error appear?

[Bacula-users] Cleaning up failed jobs
Hi all, I've pretty much made my transition from Amanda to Bacula, and I'm pretty happy with it. I'm also starting to get the feel of the manual - everything is in there, it's just a bit hard to find sometimes. :) I'd just like to run by one simple question here about failed jobs. During my testing, and occasionally during real runs I'll have a botched job. Some just re-run later, some are mistakes. Here's a real-world example that has me a little stumped... I wanted to get a Catalog backup onto one of my Daily tapes (I'm forcing fulls, diffs and incrementals onto different pools). My catalog backup is still using the default once/week schedule and wanting to go onto the Weekly pool. I decided to run it today with a Daily tape in. It failed, and Bacula wanted me to mount the Weekly tape. This makes sense. So I've gone and stopped the director, edited the config to temporarily stash the Catalog backup into the Daily pool, and then restarted. It still wanted the Weekly tape, so I used the bconsole list jobs command to find any failed Catalog backups, and then the delete command to nuke them. I assume this removes any reference to those jobs from the Catalog and whatever the scheduler may know about it. Correct? Is this the proper way to clean up after an oops? I also see quite a few failures that I no longer care about in list jobs, should I manually walk through those and kill them? I know I should have started my production run by purging the db and starting over, but between Amanda having a rather spectacular failure and losing a drive on the backup server I decided to just keep going with what I'd already started. Full dumps take about 24 hours since we have many remote hosts, so I was trying to avoid getting rid of a perfectly good tape with good full backups on it...

How do your tapes get unmounted if you do not have AlwaysOpen = no? Is
there some way that I'm not currently aware of?

How do your tapes get unmounted if you do not have AlwaysOpen = no? Is there some way that I'm not currently aware of? I believe it is the combination of Close on Poll = Yes Offline On Unmount = Yes I have been using this since bacula 1.36.4 so I am not really sure how it does so but when bacula decides it needs a new tape it does unmount which causes the tape to eject. This also happens if I us the umount command from a console. John - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

[Bacula-users] Fwd: a small setup issue.
-- Forwarded message -- From: John Drescher [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Jul 31, 2007 12:52 AM Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] a small setup issue. To: Mike Michalik [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yes. This looks good as well as your netstat output. BTW, the reason for this lack of connecting was that the daemons were listening only on the lo network interface (127.0.0.1) and the socket clients were trying to connect on the external ip address only as a result they could not communicate.

It says it is only listening on localhost. This is bad as localhost and marauder02 are not the same thing. You need to get rid of localhost and 127.0.0.1 and replace them with marauder02 for in all the .conf files then restart the daemons.

To: Mike Michalik [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is there a place to donate for the support? There was in the past but very few contributed so it was canceled. BTW, I am actually just another bacula user like you and this is one way I make my donation. The other is I am trying to help with some coding. John -- John M.
