[Bacula-users] feature request: more compression methods
It would be nice if there were more compression methods available. I understand that Bacula is mostly used with tape drivers which do hardware compression, but those of us using file/disk storage would get a real benefit out of it. For example, RAR and BZIP2 can achieve an amazingly high compression ratio on very large files, 20% or more compared to (the very old) GZIP. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula: Tape mounting problem
Not that I think John meant this, but least anyone conclude that in all cases: status == ERROR means you must recyle, it does not. Sometimes the status gets set to ERROR and you can simply reset the status to APPEND (via the bconsole command: UPDATE VOLUME). This used to happen regularly when three was a VOLUME FILES count error (the Catalog would think there were 6 files in the Volume, when the real count was something else; e.g. 3 or 7). Thanks Dan. I knew in his case that the tape was corrupted but in the second example I did not know that setting the tape to append would work. I have had this happen a few times with a specific windows 2003 server and I just ended up reusing the tapes. John - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Since it is not convenient to use the btape command and loosing all the data on the tape. When a tape is in Error status you can not append. To reuse the tape you must recycle the tape (removing any backup jobs on the tape) if you want to add data to the tape. I can see how this advice applies to this situation.

In this particular case, there is a good chance that the data on the tape is corrupted or incomplete. This could be tested by running a restore on the tape. For Hisham WAKED, if there is data on the tape you wish to retain (e.g. other backups), you could use UPDATE VOLUME to mark the tape as FULL (thus making it unavailable for future backups). The tape would then go through the regular retention period mechanisms and come up for recycling in the fullness of time.

Re: [Bacula-users] volumes in other magazines always marked as ERROR state when using vchanger
Hi Carsten, Carsten Ralle schrieb: I had a similar problem and solved it by changing the MySQL database manually in the background via a script, in your case you'd need to update the Slot, InChanger, Changer and VolStatus and may be the Enabled column using two scripts mount magazine 1 and mount magazine 2, including some email notification. hmm, that is of course a solution. However, it sounds a little like spanning horses in front of a car because the motor doesn't work. ;) Better solution would be of course to implement a change magazine message to bacula itself, in case I missed so configuration statements please let me know ! As far as I understand it this is what the inchanger flag for volumes is for. In my understanding, as long as this flag is 0 bacula should not try to make the autochanger load the volume, because it is known not to be in the changer. I am half willing to call this a bug by now, because it is pretty clear: (volume names changed and unnecessary information left out for better readability) 2 magazines, mag0 and mag1 2 volumes in each magazine, vol1 and vol2. before error: volume name | status | inchanger | slot mag0-vol1 APPEND11 mag0-vol2 APPEND12 mag1-vol1 APPEND01 mag1-vol2 APPEND02 now a backup job starts that fills all volumes in mag0 and still needs more space. Apparently it tries to load the volumes that have inchanger set to 0, and when it does not find them it marks them as erroneous. (see error messages stated in original posting). after error: volume name | status | inchanger | slot mag0-vol1 FULL 11 mag0-vol2 FULL 12 mag1-vol1 ERROR 00 mag1-vol2 ERROR 00 As you can see, the slot information for the volumes that are not in the changer get deleted too. In my understanding, this would even happen to people who use a real tape changer with magazines, not just the virtual one. If it does, it most certainly is not desirable behaviour. Could anyone perhaps confirm or deny this, and maybe post a snippet of your config? Maybe Carsten and me are just missing some config option...

[Bacula-users] Feature Request: A new status type for expired backups
Item 1: Create a new backup status type for expired backups (max-delay-time surpased) Date: 03 August 2007 Origin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Status: What: Create a new backup status type different from 'A' to be able to distinguish backups canceled by the user and canceled automatically by the bacula program (because of max-delay-time) Why:It is very confusing for the system administrators to see canceled backups and be unable to know if they expired or were canceled intentionally by another administrator. Notes: A workaround in the mean time, substract the start time and scheduled time and compare with the maximum delay time of the job. Anyway, this won't work if the maximum delay time is changed by some administrator. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

You just need to create the database there (check the make_mysql_tables script) and then change the catalog entries in bacula-dir accordingly.

[Bacula-users] switch from sqlite to mysql
Hi I have bacula 2.0.3 installed on trustix 2.2 with sqlite. I would like to change to mysql. I don't really care about the data that is already in the sqlite db.

I am not familiar with how you installed, so I cannot answer that. The safe bet is to save them.

Re: [Bacula-users] backup to a disk, limited space
On Thu, 2 Aug 2007 10:45:33 +0300, Dimitrios said:
I'd like to backup my web server to my local system. So far everything seems
to work fine, i've setup encryption via TLS (certificates, etc) and the
services running under Fedora 7.
Unfortunately, there is one thing that i don't quite understand while
reading the manual. I don't understand how to reserve 20 gigs of harddisk
space for backups.
In other words, i'd like to force bacula to use /var/spool/bacula to store
my backups and to make sure it uses maximum 20 gigs. Once those are filled,
it should reuse them over and over again.
My pool looks like this, but i'm not sure if its doing what i described:
Pool {
Name = Default
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 365 days
Maximum Volumes = 1
Maximum Volume Bytes = 20g
}
Any help would be appreciated.
That is a bad configuration because bacula only recycles complete volumes, so
it will no recycle the 20g volume until all of it has reached its retention
period.
You probably want
Maximum Volumes = 20
Maximum Volume Bytes = 1g

Re: [Bacula-users] single error = tape useless
On Thu, 02 Aug 2007 13:49:10 +0200, Carsten Ralle said: I've been struggling with Bacula for a single backup installation for almost 4 months now. Although installation and configuration are well documented I'm still confused by two problems we can't get solved: 1. Even with brand new tapes, on two different tape drives, using continuous cleaning cycles, the tapes that used to store between 11.5 and 13 GB uncompressed data on a windows machine only take about 8 GB using bacula (same drive, same tapes). Following the advice to switch off software compression when hardware compression is enabled, we run tests with following results (always the same fileset of 23 GB uncompressed data) hw-compress sw-compress spool size data/tape total # of tapes used on on 14 GB 8.2 GB 1.7 on off 23 GB 12.9 GB 1.8 so we use the installation with both sw and hw compression turned on, as it gives us better performance and less tapes/backup. Why is it impossible to store more then 8 GB on a 12/24GB tape. Again: we ran the tests on multiple different drives (HP15xx and Sony DDS3-drives). The problem is that DDS hw compression is not very good. In particular, when you use sw compression as well, the data written to tape actually gets expanded by the hw compression so your 8.2 GB of input gets written as 12 GB on the tape! Have you tried with hw compression off and sw compression on? 2. Up to now a verify at level VolumeToCatalog always (!) brings up at least one error of the type Error: block.c:317 Volume data error at 3:2817! Block checksum mismatch in block=2817 len=64512: calc=8fe728a4 blk=bd217fe3 in the middle of the tape. After that bacula dupms the whole remaining file list into an email message of about 30MB in size. - Is there any way to make Bacula stop to send the file list while keep on sending email notifications ? If your mailcommand uses bsmtp, then you can set the -l option. - How can it be, that a single error renders the whole tape of a backup useless ? Why does bacula not continue to verify the other 80% of a backup and tells something like block error while reading ..., missing files ? Hmm, I thought it would continue. Are there any other errors after the checksum mismatch? Can you try restarting the bacula-sd with the -p option? __Martin - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
