Thank you very much, i really appreciate your help and the effort to furthur develop bacula. No wonder bacula has been enhanced so much over the years, along with the best manual we've seen on an open source project, there are superb people behind the project!

Well the data is not copied block for block; it is copied record for record (i.e. bit for bit for the data). Copying block for block might be a future performance enhancement, but it could only be done if the block size is the same on the input and output device, which is not always the case. The file meta data is copied record for record (i.e. bit for bit). Thus all the data (meta and file) is copied bit for bit. The layout of the SD blocking data on the output Volume may be slightly different -- e.g. the Volume label contains the new Volume name rather than the old Volume name (obviously), and as I said, the data *may* be blocked different because it is unpacked from the blocks and repacked into blocks. Normally the blocks will be identical if the media are of the same type, but in spanning Volumes if the tape sizes are different, the blocking on the migrated Volume after the change of Volumes will be different, but the file meta and file data will be bit for bit identical. I don't know if that should satisfy David's auditors or not. It seems to me that they accepted clone jobs as being valid "copies". Well migrated jobs should be 100% identical as compared to clone jobs which may be different due to small filesystem changes between the two jobs. > > > Also, there is still a period of time where only one copy of the > > backed-up data exists; all the easy solutions to this problem don't > > address that requirement. > > This is the major drawback of the simpler solution (again, doesn't > invalidate its usefulness in other scenarios) It may invalidate it for some, but it will be *extremely* useful for a lot of people and will in fact give us an archiving capability. > > > If we could get away with that, we'd just > > duplicate the tapes outside of Bacula and be done with it. > > If I do that, I can't track the copied volumes with the Bacula > catalog.

[Bacula-users] FileSet BUG or not?
Hi, there.
There is a structure of directories:
find /tmp/test/
/tmp/test/
/tmp/test/a2
/tmp/test/a2/2
/tmp/test/a2/2/test_file
/tmp/test/a2/test_file

/tmp/test/a1/2/test_file
/tmp/test/a1/test_file
/tmp/test/a1/1
/tmp/test/a1/1/test_file
It is required to make backup on a mask:
"/tmp/test/*/1"
The following FileSet description does not work:
Include {
Options {
wilddir = "/tmp/test/*/1"
}
Options {
exclude = yes
regexdir= ".*"
}
File= /tmp/test
}
bwild makes correct output:
/tmp/test/a2/1
/tmp/test/b1/1
/tmp/test/b2/1
/tmp/test/a1/1
estimate command output only "/tmp/test"
What here it is wrong?
And how to receive demanded result?

[Bacula-users] Problem with BakupCatalog
Hi
First of all, I would like to apologize for my english.
I need your help, when I try run job BackupCatalog, this don't work!!!.
Verify the configuration in the bacula-dir and find:
# This is the backup of the catalog
FileSet {
Name = "Catalog"
Include {
Options { signature = MD5 }
File = /var/bacula/bacula.sql
}
}
But my problem is: I don't have the file "/var/bacula/bacula.sql"
How can I reestablish the file "bacula.sql" without spoil the normaly
processes of Bacula?
Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. Information about files is the largest amount of data, I'd say. Jobs and Volumes is probably much less, though I couldn't say that for sure. I bet the manual explains this some. As I understand it, keeping this information allows you to restore a single file. After files are purged, only the full job can be recovered (which is only an inconvenience, really -- no data is lost). > Secondly, what do Bacula users do, strategically, when it comes to > archiving data into perpetuity?

In the case of a migrate-without-purge, the bacula blocks would, presumably, be copied block for block. So your backed up data would be identical. The metadata Bacula uses to encapsulate your data would be recreated for the second job, so that would be different. So maybe the migrate-without-purge feature won't satisfy your auditors, but that doesn't make the simpler feature pointless.

[Bacula-users] Times in Windows
Hello Everybody, I read somewhere in this list, that there had been flaws in the detection if files have changed on windows clients. If you move a whole folder windows will not set the timestamps correctly. I noticed the following: I did a fullbackup on a laptop, the day after I used the laptop normally especially sending and getting mail. On the next day I did an incremental backup, but Inbox.msf (Mozilla Thunderbird) had not been backup'd this time, so I took a closer look at the file. Windows gave me three timestamps "created", "changed", "last accessed" and "changed" was closely too "created" -- ok, blame windows or mozilla or whoever, but not bacula. (Last accessed had been right.) But now I deleted all my backups, and tried the "estimate" command in the "console", to see what would be backup'd this time. And the timestamps bacula listed together with Inbox.msf was the timestamp windows gave me as "created" timestamp. Had this been due to it was the first (database reinstalled) backup? I checked another file, which was reported by windows with correct "changed" timestamp, but in the bacula "console" listing of "estimate", there was again the timestamp listed which corresponds to the window "created" timestamp and not the "changed". Please, I'm not a programmer, so don't throw peaky details at me, but what is an incremental backup worth, if files get backup'd up according to their "created" timestamp? So maybe it's better not to rely on backups of windows clients with bacula? mfg Eric PS.: I don't want to be a spoilsport, but saving users mail in a backup is a serious thing. :( pgpaD1jwj5rPi.pgp Description: PGP signature - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Bacula-users] Bart PE Plugin
I tried today to crosscompile bacula on my linux machine to get an up to date Bart PE Plugin, but after stumpling from error to error in make in top-dir/bacula/src/win32 (top-dir/bacula/src/build-depkgs-mingw32 forget to copy the postgresql files to locations so they are found by compiler and linker) to notice the the pebuilder directory was empty after a complete successful run. What can I do to get a up to date pebuilder plugin? mfg Eric pgpApa2zfMMFx.pgp Description: PGP signature - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Bacula-users] Thanks to Kern & Other Developers....
... on another drama-free upgrade. My bacula servers had been lagging... back at 2.0.3. Today I upgraded to the new 2.2.3 and it was smooth, like $h!t through a goose.

I will see if I can replicate that. Also a quick workaround may be the following: 1) Change Bacula File Server service startup type to be Manual instead of Automatic. 2) Then in a batch file in the startup folder of user issue a net start "Bacula File Server" However this may not work if the logged in user does not have permissions to start/stop services.

What would you be > unable to do? The machine runs a special type of control software that manages a printing press. In that same machine we store special files which deal with the configuration of the press machine, along with whatever is there to be printed. Thus the computer requires several people to be working on it, while i'm trying to do backups (none of the systems are allowed to be on power after the press is shut down, the electricity of the whole floor is shut down, thus backups are done while we work). As a result, its important for the people working on the system to look at the cassette icon because some printing "jobs" may require the server to run at full utilization and thus the backup shouldn't be running. So they just wait for a few minutes before running any such job for the backup process to complete (doesn't take too long, just a few minutes, but its important not to run in parallel with any printing job).

Well, we don't use the "log" that can be accessed via right-clicking on the icon, we only need to know when bacula-fd is running a backup or not (a time estimate for completition of the job would have been even better, but thats just cosmetic). - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

This resolves one of the major problems that has slowed this down: how to keep normal non-muxed jobs efficient. Adding muxing adds a significant amount of overhead and complicates the code significantly ... - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

If I am not mistaken, the problem is that the current code deletes the original job so it is a migrate rather than a copy. Though it may as you indicate be a partial solution, I will implement a Copy job very similar to Migrate that will work more or less identical to the Migrate, except for two things: 1. the original job will not be purged. 2. the new job will be very specially marked a Copy job so that it can be clearly distinguished from the original Backup job. This will allow users to make copies -- the step after that will be to provide some means for the users to be able to indicate they want to use the Copy Volumes during the restore. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Hmm. I have been in my spare time working to remove the tray icon completely from the filedaemon and replace it with a standalone tray application. One reason for this is that it is problem with security on vista. And also others have asked to remove the tray completely for several reasons.

[Bacula-users] upgrade 1.38->2.2.3
Hi, I'm going to upgrade my bacula 1.38 (I mean my director, storage and my clients) to bacula 2.2.3. What problems should I expect? Are the config files different? Are there any problems with database (I have mysql 5.0) or with certificates (I have TLS enabled). And what about the compatibility of old volumes to new bacula?

[Bacula-users] cassette icon disappears
We've got a Windoze 2003 server and i'm using the bacula file daemon to backup files from it. Since the system is actively used by a person, we rely on the cassette icon in the system tray to check when the backup is running (so as the person on the system doesn't do anything stupid when the cassette is green). Our problem is, that once the machine is rebooted, the cassette icon disappears, even though the daemon service is running in the background (as can be seen in the Services). Interestingly, if we re-start the service, the cassette icon reappears, but only untill we reset the machine. Does anyone know how to make the cassette icon to always appear in the system tray?

Re: [Bacula-users] Critical Bacula Bug
Hello, the history of using 2.1.28 in a production system is that at that time we discovered the bug that is just now actual for everyone and while we were trying to find what and how to actually run Bacula that can be used for what it is supposed we ended with 2.1.28 and no concurrent jobs. I am watching the changelog and 2.1.28 is almost the same as 2.2.0 and later there are minor fixes that don't affect our systems and so we are still at 2.1.28 for our live system which is OK. I believe we will upgrade to 2.2.3 now. Regards. Tuesday, September 11, 2007, 5:29:52 AM: RN> One point that I'm not sure was mentioned before: 2.1.28 was not a RN> production release.

[Bacula-users] Need help restoring bacula configuration
Dear admins,
I accidently removed all files in /etc/bacula on my bacula server ("rm
wx-console.conf *" should have been "rm wx-console.conf*").
As the daemons were still running I recreated a minimal bconsole.conf,
connected to the director and tried to restore /etc/bacula. I got the
following error:
11-Sep 11:08 bacula-sd: RestoreFiles.2007-09-11_11.08.24 Error:
block.c:275 Volume data error at 1:2363602536! Wanted ID: "BB02", got
"hein". Buffer discarded.
As I found in http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Restore_Command.html this
maybe caused by incorrect block size settings for my devices. I wonder
wether this can be, because I use File devices ...
... but nevertheless I would try the configuration changes ... if I
could: I also deleted bacula-sd.conf and don't really remember all the
settings.
Any other idea? I don't want to restart the daemons trying one
configuration after another because now they are still running with my
working configuration. Perhaps there is a way bacula-dir writes out the
running configuration?

To my mind this problem is fixed in Bacula 2.2.1. You can fix it by hand by touching the pid-file and chowning it to bacula-dir's user (bacula maybe?).

Re: [Bacula-users] [Bacula-devel] Bacula version 2.2.3 released to Source Forge
Hello All, I have released the source RPM as well as the binaries for SuSE-10.2-i586 on sourceforge. I apologize but will be unable to release the other binaries I usually publish until this weekend due to time constraints. Other platforms "should" build from the SRPM if you are in need of immediate action. Of note is that we fixed the bug preventing postgresql from building on rhel3 and similar old platforms and I added build targets for rhel5 and clones. My release notes below. ps. the spec file currently in svn for trunk and Branch-2.2 has been updated to correct a typo at line 199. Bacula-2.2 RPM Release Notes 10 September 2007 D. Scott Barninger Release 2.2.3-1 This release incorporates a number of significant changes since 1.38. These release notes refer to the rpm packaging only. Please refer to the release notes and changelog in the tarball or on sourceforge for complete information on all changes. * * Miscellaneous * * Added build targets for rhel5 and clones. Build target added for Scientific Linux (RHEL clone) thanks to Jon Peatfield. Merged Otto Mueller's patch changing some directory locations for FHS compatibility but retaining the script directory as /etc/bacula. gnome-console and wxconsole have been renamed to bgnome-console and bwx-console respectively. *** * bat (Bacula Admin Tool) * *** A new subpackage has been added for the new bat QT-based GUI administration tool. This requires QT >= 4.2 --define "build_bat 1" *** * Gnome console dropped on some platforms * *** The gconsole package has been dropped on older gnome platforms (gtk+ < 2.4). Changes in the gnome api and code produced by Glade no longer build. In addition, the tray monitor now fails to build on some 2.4 platforms. gconsole is now not built on the following platforms: rh7, rh8, rh9, rhel3 (and clones), fc1, fc4, mdk, su9, su10 * Third party packager support * A new build tag added to support third party packagers to replace the information in the Packager: tag in the rpm. Invoking --define "contrib_packager Your Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" will substitute your packager identification. Users interested in building packages for platforms not normally published should examine the platforms/contrib-rpm directory in the source code. *** * Option to build client only * *** A build define to build the client rpm package only added. This turns off all database builds, gnome console and wxconsole. --define "build_client_only 1" * Python support added * Support for compiling with python scripting support added. This is off by default but can be enabled with: --define "build_python 1" Released binary packages are built with python support. *** * Database update * *** The 2.x release requires an update to the bacula database structure from version 9 to version 10. A pre-install routine has been added to check for databases older than 9. In that event the install will exit with an error message indicating that the database must be updated to version 9 before installing this upgrade. Scripts for updating older database formats are available for download in the bacula-updatedb rpm package. In the event a version 9 database is detected a post-install routine will update the database after creating a backup file in the bacula working directory. ** * Platform Notes * ** The spec file currently supports building on the following platforms: # RedHat builds --define "build_rh7 1" --define "build_rh8 1" --define "build_rh9 1" # Fedora Core build --define "build_fc1 1" --define "build_fc3 1" --define "build_fc4 1" --define "build_fc5 1" --define "build_fc6 1" # Whitebox Enterprise build --define "build_wb3 1" # RedHat Enterprise builds --define "build_rhel3 1" --define "build_rhel4 1" --define "build_rhel5 1" # CentOS build --define "build_centos3 1" --define "build_centos4 1" --define "build_centos5 1" # Scientific Linux build --define "build_sl3 1" --define "build_sl4 1" --define "build_sl5 1" # SuSE build --define "build_su9 1" --define "build_su10 1" --define "build_su102 1" # Mandrake 10.x build --define "build_mdk 1" # Mandriva build --define "build_mdv 1" ** * Database build options * ** Database support (must select one or build client only) MySQL support: --define "build_mysql 1" # OR if using mysql 4.x define this # currently: Mandrake 10.x, SuSE 9.x & 10.0, RHEL4, fc4 --define "build_mysql4 1" # OR if using mysql 5.x define this # currently: SuSE 10.1, fc5 --define "build_mysql5 1" PostgreSQL support: --define "build_postgresql 1" Sqlite support: --defin
[Bacula-users] HP Storagework 1/8
Hello all, this is my first experience with Bacula so please bear with me... I've been searching the archives for a way to configure Bacula to access the HP Storagework 1/8 that we want to use but I can't find anything on them...

The platform tests exist primarily to get the correct package names and versions in the dependencies, and secondarily to pull the distribution string from the release file to absolutely label the package with the platform it was built on.

[Bacula-users] bacula-2.2.1 rpm release
Bacula 2.2.1 rpm has been released to sourceforge. Notable issues: The tray monitor no longer builds on EL3 or FC4, thus the gconsole package is now deprecated on those platforms. The postgresql server package fails to build on EL3. This may be fixed in future releases. Bacula-2.2 RPM Release Notes 03 September 2007 D.

If I run bwx-console.exe, connect to the director (done automatically), then exit, I get an error. The instruction at "0x7c92ae24" referenced memory at "0x00070069". The memory could not be "read".

[Bacula-users] Errors configuring OnStream SC-50 ADR50 Tape Drive
Hi!
When running btest I get errors. The documentation says that OnStream
drives work with bacula 1.33 and osst 0.9.14.
Here the bacula-sd.conf part:
> Device {
> Name = "Onstream"
> Description = "OnStream drive on Linux"
> Media Type = ADR50
> Archive Device = /dev/nosst0
> AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
> AlwaysOpen = yes
> Offline On Unmount = no
> # The min/max blocksizes of 32768 are *required*
> Minimum Block Size = 32768
> Maximum Block Size = 32768
> # Removeable Media = yes
> # Two EOF = no
> # BSF at EOM = no
> # Backward Space File = yes
> Fast Forward Space File = no
> }
I also set the blocksize for the tape:
mt -f /dev/nosst0 setblk 32768
I get the following test output:
> === Write, rewind, and position test ===
>
> I'm going to write 1000 records and an EOF

It is certainly allowed by this spec: Yeah, those are POSIX character classes which are supported by most modern regular expression engines, especially ones in the "Perl Compatible" class. Whether they should or shouldn't affect globbing is a different question. It would appear that http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_13_03 says that they should affect globbing. Of course the windows file globbing API /doesnt/ recognize them, but then again it doesn't recognize many of the globbing patterns. :-) Yves -- perl -Mre=debug -e "/just|another|perl|hacker/" - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Bacula-users] Multiplexing multiple jobs to tape
Hi, I am trying to figure out whether bacula supports multiplexing multiple simultaneous backup jobs to the same tape - having googled, the results are inconclusive :) I am currently playing with an LTO-4 tape drive which has a raw data transfer rate of 120MB/sec. Clearly any single machine is going to have difficulty in maxing out the drive. I'd therefore like to try running backups from multiple machines to the drive simultaneously. If it does support multiplexing, what kind of options do I need in the config files? I currently have bacula talking to the drive, but I was getting 25MB/sec backing up a 10gig file of zeros (admittedly from a single SATA disk so that's not too surprising), but just 10MB/sec doing a trial backup of a home directory server over the network, from a pretty fast RAID. We get better performance from our current LTO-2 drives and Legato Networker :( Thanks. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Bacula-users] very slow restore
Hi, I'm using bacula, I have about 80 clients. My problem is that if I run restore command in console for client which has about 4 milions of files, it takes about 6 hours (I mean the process when I see stars for every backup which were run for the client) and then I can finally type yes and then the restore begin. Problem is that 6 hours is quite a lot and I can't do anytning with bacula director until the restore process ends (bacula director uses 100% of CPU). Do you have any suggestions how to solve this? Another problem is that bacula director runs on only one processor and the second processor is idle. Thx, for any help, David.

[Bacula-users] how to copy our backup to another machine
Hi, I'm using bacula, I have about 80 clients. I have for each client it's own directory (I do backup to hard disc) and for each client I have two Pools, so I have two types of files in the directory: FB-name_of_client-some_number and IB-name_of_client-some_number, first one is a file (volume) with one full backup and the second is a file with one incremental backup. I would like to copy all volumes (files) with full backup to another machine (lets say that the machine is called X), in fact, it is a backup of our existing storage and I would like to be able to do a restore from the machine X. My solution: Install bacula director bacula storage and mysql on machine X, copy all files of type FB-name_of_client-some_number (I am intereted only in full backups) from our existing storage to machine X and then use bscan. Is it possible? Will it be possible to do a restore from machine X (without using current director, mysql or storage)? Thx, for any help, David.

Re: [Bacula-users] Optimal setup for large data
Tom,
I ran into the same problem about bacula rescheduling a second full backup.
This should only happen the first time, since in following cycles the next
incremental backup should see the previous full backup and run off that, but
it's still no fun to have a single backup that huge. My solution was to
find logical places to split the backup into different filesets and then
have multiple schedules that stagger the load.
Hope it helps,
Kyle Marsh

[Bacula-users] Feature Request Copy Job
Item 1: Implement a Copy job type that will copy the jobdata from one device to another, for example, copy from a fiel Tape to a real Tape. Date: 24 Aug 2007 Origin: dihor2000 at yahoo.de Contact: dihor2000 at yahoo.de Status: feature request Assigned to no one What: The ability to copy, data that is on a device to another device is very important. Why:I think a backup to disk to tape well be the only future of Backups. For Example a Company has to backup 3,6 TB. Then it would be a cool option to backup first to disk. After these Processes are finished a copy Job would alsou put the sam DATA on Tape. That means that the Produktion Server are no longer in use whit backup and if the HDD RAID crashes the data are still on Tape. In the Restore Job then you could easily choose where you took the File Tape or the real Tape. Whit these Feature Bacula will grow to an Enterprise Backup Solution that can be compared whit Veritas. __ Alles was der Gesundheit und Entspannung dient.

Date: 24 Aug 2007 Origin: dihor2000 at yahoo.de Contact: dihor2000 at yahoo.de Daniel Holtkamp Status: Partially coded in 1.37 -- much more to do. Assigned to Kern. What: The ability to copy, move, or archive data that is on a device to another device is very important. Why:An ISP might want to backup to disk, but after 30 days migrate the data to tape backup and delete it from disk. Bacula should be able to handle this automatically. It needs to know what was put where, and when, and what to migrate -- it is a bit like retention periods. Doing so would allow space to be freed up for current backups while maintaining older data on tape drives. Notes: Migration could be triggered by: Number of Jobs Number of Volumes Age of Jobs Highwater size (keep total size) Lowwater mark Die etwas anderen Infos rund um das Thema Reisen.

[Bacula-users] Bacula offsite on disks
Hi all I must say I am very, VERY happy with Bacula. Backing up around 1,7TB of data. This is now the total size of everything that needs to be backed up. This all happen to disks. Currently have 5 700G hard drives. Reason is that I am splitting the servers between the disks. Bacula treat disks like tapes, one at a time. But now my problem, i need to take some of this data offsite, I am working on a script that will sync all the bacula volumes, sql dump, and config files to a caddy. I want to rebuild the bacula server if anything happens to the machine, so some of my other machines will also be going offsite. Testing the drives, mounting the drives, sms's on failures and every other error is in place and working. The tough one, I need to split this data between 2 caddies. Was thinking around this line, if caddy 1 is full gotto caddy 2. Every sync it copies the data first to caddy 1 if full copy to caddy 2. If caddy 2 is full ask for caddy 3. How successfull will Autochanger in Bacula work? Did anybody done this before? Any other ideas will be welcomed.

Re: [Bacula-users] Howto download RedHat RPMS?
If you would not wait download bacula-2.2.3-1.src.rpm from sourceforge and do a
rpmbuild --rebuild --define "build_rhel4 1" --define "build_mysql 1"
bacula-2.2.3-1.src.rpm
If you have all necessary *-devel.rpm files installed than you should find
rpmfiles in:
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
If not install the missing *-devel-rpm files first and try again.
If you like postgres instead than change the define of course.
