Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden is File or Directory not found. Without actually trying to build Bacula recently, and without a closer look at the Makefile, I suppose this could be a permisions problem. What I think happens is that make or rather the commands called by it can't change to the directories it needs to do its work in. Check that the directories actually exist and can be accessed by whoever runs make. Also it might be useful to provide some additional information: How did you load the sources, how did you unpack them, and what does the main Bacula directory look like? Especially file ownership and permissions might be interesting. (It's interesting that ./configure seems to run ok, but make doesn't, though...)

AL It might be that the part file in question still is in your temporary AL storage directory. Do you have Write Part After Job set in the job AL definition? I have, in the end implemented Arno's solution which is to set Write Part After Job on only the catalog backup that gets executed after everything else. However, in all of this I had 2 disks (out of 11) that failed in the way indicated: bacula says to mount the disk but it indeed was mounted but bacula didn't know that because the last part was missing from the disk. (I fixed these by marking them as Full, and bacula then proceeded to desire a new volume). So my remaining questions are that I can't find documentation for: I haven't used DV writing for a long time, so I'm not sure about these questions, but anyway... 1) is the disk with the missing part actually missing data (I assume so)? It probably will, yes. 2) is the part that was supposed to be written to an older volume (say #8 in a pool) but couldn't be written to the new next volume (#9) instead or is that part lost as well? I think it will be lost, but you can try to check. As far as I know, Bacula does not rename the part files it writes to DVD, so, if a part from volume 8 is written to disk 9, there should be a file with a name belonging to volume 8 on that disk. 3) How do I verify that the contents of a DVD match what bacula expects there to be on the disk. I haven't seen a archive verification option anywhere? Hmmm... a Volume to Catalog verify job could help, but there seem to be problems there. I'd try bls on the disks and see what that reports. 4) assuming that some of the archives are bad, what's the best way to fix the issue? Can I mark the volume as Error and will bacula automatically re-archive the files that were in that volume again on the next run through the various backup schedules? (the brunt of the question is really: do files get re-backed up automatically when a volume is marked in error, or does something else need to be done). That won't work. It will be best to check which jobs have their data on the disks in question (using the 'query' command) and manually re-run any jobs you need. 5) Should I give up and buy a tape drive (ha ha; sigh) Seriously, in my opinion that would be the best thing to do... even using a used DLT or LTO drive will probably be more reliable than DVD backup, and tape backups, in my experience, require much less administration than DVD ones, so the extra money you spend will result in less time to operate Bacula in the future.

Unfortunately, there are no time stamps in the log files, so it's hard to determine what actually needs so much time... Also, check what your systems are actually doing... using vmstat, top, and perhaps strace on the DIR machine might reveal where all that time goes; on the catalog database server, you should also observe PostgreSQL, but since I'm not a PostgreSQL guy, you better ask others for advice :-) The Postgresql server is running on another computer, so using tcpdump on the network traffic is an option as well. tcpdump could help, but I guess that would not help in actually finding out why the catalog is so slow (assuming the catalog _is_ the bottle-neck here).

[Bacula-users] Bacula Windows client strange behaviour
Hi everyone I use bacula with success on a mixed network with MacOS X, LINUX and Windows Xp Workstations. Everithing goes very well but on on two of the Windows XP PCs the backup starts good then slows down and hangs. I mean the average speed slowly goes to 0 b/sec while the job runs. The FD is alive, and the job looks running both on the Director/Storage (Linux) and on the FD client. Everyone uses the latest available Bacula version 2.2.x and the problem appears only on two Windows PC's while the others work really fine. The PC's look identical in services and configuration (the Fileset is different of corse) to the ones working. I've tried both VSS and non-VSS backup with the same result. I've looked into the docs for something useful with absolutely no success. Does anyone have any idea about what to start checking to have this thing debugged?

[Bacula-users] Schedules and start time delay
Is there any way to have the Max Start Time Delay overrideable on a schedule other than doing multiple jobs atm? The reason I ask is that backups during the week need to start no later than a certain time, but weekends are not a problem.

I wonder if rewriting the DVD backend to write to a ISO mounted in loopback and then burn the iso would be more reliable. That might be one option, but I guess the main problem is that Bacula simply doesn't handle things very well when the writing-to-disk phase has problems. You'd need something more integrated into the SD, or implement some way to signal re-try this part to the next disk to the SD. It'd take more scratch disk space, but wouldn't suffer from problems like this. I don't think so... when the actual writing goes wrong for whatever reason, you simply cant't tell the SD to retry the parts still in spool space. It'd also be a lot slower since you'd have to reburn the whole disk when you added a part to the ISO. Quite a lot slower - first read the existing contents, integrate the new part to it (possible requiring remastering of the whole file system), then writing the whole image to disk... also an additional strain to the disks themselves.

Re: [Bacula-users] Frequent Intervention emails
Dear Arno Yes I do have the heart beat interval set to 2 minutes. I will remove it. I had put it there to see if it would help with client disconnects it did not. FYI If a client disconnects I found out the default TCP timeout of 2 hours is timed from the initial connection time.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula Windows client strange behaviour
I mean the average speed slowly goes to 0 b/sec while the job runs. Definitely sounds like it is stopping cold. The FD is alive, and the job looks running both on the Director/Storage (Linux) and on the FD client. Does the FD respond to a cancel from the director? Does anyone have any idea about what to start checking to have this thing debugged? I find that 'Process Monitor' from sysinternals (www.sysinternals.com) is great for looking at what a process is doing. Maybe you can have a look at bacula-fd at or around the point where it stops?

File client may as well be just busy scanning files. If some of the filesets happen to include folders with thousands of small (or otherwise) files then scanning those folders and collecting attribute data for all of the files can be painfully slow. In my experience this often creates quite a bottleneck. You can check this by requesting client status from director and checking if it keeps progressing through the list of files, e.g. if the names of the current files being processed by a client FD keep are changing at a steady rate. You can also do estimate listing for that client and compare esimate runtime to other clients which run their backups faster. That will tell you how much time FD needs to scan all files in a fileset. --Ivan - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.
