[Bacula-users] client max concurrent jobs
Hi, I tried to set up Maximum Concurrent Jobs for client in Client resource in Director config file. In manula it is allowed option. But when reloaded, director tells me, that this directive is not allowed in this scope. I have 1.38.11 version, Debian linux. Is it a bug or do I something wrong?

Re: [Bacula-users] Mysql - INSERT INTO batch error
Hello! i've benn an idiot! I should search before in bugs.bacula.org http://bugs.bacula.org/view.php?id=965 Best regards! Bye! Hello, 01.10.2007 12:58,, Alejandro Alfonso wrote:: Thank you for the fast answer! Um... maybe the problem is related with my server?

The question is... that table was created by bacula or by mysql? This is a MySQL table, so MySQL created it. Of course it did because the DIR issued a statement like 'create temporary table blah...', but the work is done by MySQL. What about increase /tmp partition? That might help, but from what I can see above there's space on that partition, so this should not be the origin of this problem. Perhaps it would be better to start analyzing what MySQL does. A look into MySQLs log files might reveal a more basic problem. Arno Thanks again! Hi, 1) Table "batch" doesn't exists in "make_mysql_tables" script provided by bacula!

Re: [Bacula-users] Restoring /etc/hosts on rhel4
On 2007.10.01. 21:41, Arno Lehmann wrote: ... When I finish the restore, no files are restored, except the etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default directory structure. Now, on the real filesystem, there is a hosts file in that directory, as well as /etc/hosts. But they are not symlinked. ... the two files are not symlinked but hard links to only one set of data. It seems like Bacula is getting confused about which hosts file I actually want restored. It happens if I set the restore client to the same machine, or a different one. I think that, in case these files are hard links, Bacula should restore the one you explicitly selected, i.e. /etc/hosts. What it should do the other hard links is something *I* wouldn't want to decide... so the files were hardlinked. but, from reading the above, it seems that _none_ of the files was actually restored... reading the manual, i would expect even with hardlinks=no one file to be restored, and only the correct one :) also, the manual could be a bit more clear. it says : In such a case, set hardlinks=no and hard links will not be backed up. Note, using this option will most likely backup more data and on a restore the file system will not be restored identically to the original. i think last sentence refers to 'hardlinks=no' setting, but at first i thought it was referring to '=yes' :) as for what to do - i would expect all hardlinked files to be restored. if not, the system would not be restored as it was. also, what happens if you restore one hardlinked file (and others are not restored) - it has to be unlinked (and should only happen if hardlinks=no is explicitly set) Arno Perhaps this is just my inexperience with the software, but can someone offer a suggestion as to what the problem might be? Maybe someone else can confirm this happens with them? Thanks Jason ... -- Rich - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

The best method is to adjust the destination defined in the messages {}
section of the bacula-dir.conf to point to an address that expands into
multiple recipients. E.g., let bacula handle backups, let
sendmail/postfix handle mail.
Look at the syntax of /etc/mail/aliases and read the man page for
newaliases(8).

@ stands for include
example:
@/etc/bacula/hosts/test.host
i have a similar problem (so i hijack this thread)...
i have a general FileSet resource which i use for all my clients.
however, i want to adjust some client specific excludes on a per-host basis.
currently i do something like
SNIP
# List of files to be backed up
FileSet {
Name = FullFileSet
Include {
Options {
fstype=ext2,jfs,ntfs,reiserfs,xfs
onefs=no
signature = MD5
wilddir=*/tmp
exclude = yes
}
File = /
}
Exclude {
File = \\/etc/bacula/client_exclude.conf
}
}
/SNIP
this works ok, the File directive is fed by the file on the
client-machine.
however, i would prefer to have all these files on the director host,
and include them based on the job running.
something like:
File = /etc/bacula/${jobname}_exclude.conf
is this possible, or is just idle thinking?

Yes, that works and it is in the manual.

I'm speaking as someone who used BackupPC (personally, for 5 machines, and professionally, for ~20 servers) for a few years. Given it's limitiations, which are clearly documented, it's a very stable, functional, and useful product. I wouldn't say that it's a direct competitor or alternative to Bacula--the two packages play in the same space, but start from very different philosophies. BackupPC requires much less administrative overhead than Bacula, provides a better user interface, and makes much more effective use of disk resources. It does the synthetic backups and deduplication that Bacula does not, and doesn't require a database for those functions. The web interface is easy to use, and there are fewer failure modes to deal with. BackupPC is terrific at maximizing resources in an environment where there's a lot of file duplication, such as a workgroup with a lot of desktop machines, or an enterprise that does snapshot backups every few hours. I'd be very confident recommending BackupPC for people who want on-line (disk based) backups only, who do not need extensive archiving or bare-metal restores, and who have limited resources for administration and hardware. Actually, that's a good description for a huge market share (homes, small offices, small work groups within larger companies, academic departments and research groups, etc.). Most people need backups to recover the odd file that was deleted accidently, or sometimes to revert to a previous version of a document. Doing a bare-metal restore (while very important) is uncommon and complex--often (especially with Windows), the recommendation would be to reinstall the OS and applications, then restore data. If you understand their strengths and limitations, either Bacula or BackupPC could be an excellent--or very poor--choice for a specific environment. = prime time yet.

[Bacula-users] Optical DVD low reliability?
Hello all -- I have been reading more thoroughly on using Bacula to back up to optical DVD. In Chapter 3 (page 22) of the current Bacula PDF guide, there is this statement: DVD media is not recommended for serious or important backups because of its low reliability. I wonder how long ago this statement was written and if this still remains true today (e.g., have there been improvements to DVD optical media over time)? I wonder how current Bacula users who have decided to back up to optical DVD media have found it to be in terms of reliability? Are there any independent reliability studies around? Besides the low reliability concern, are there any other reasons to avoid using optical DVD with Bacula other than what has been written in Chapter 24 titled DVD Volumes of the current Bacula User's Guide?

something like:

Yes, that works and it is in the manual.
I don't think variable expansion works in this context (which is how I
interpreted the example). Bacula complains:
Fatal error: Cannot open included
file: /usr/local/etc/bacula/filesets/${jobname}_exclude.conf. ERR=No
such file or directory
As you can see, bacula thinks ${jobname} is the literal file name. The
same thing happens for the % character substitution [1] and the volume
label variables [2].
Using variables to include external files would be a huge convenience.

I wonder how current Bacula users who have decided to back up to optical DVD media have found it to be in terms of reliability? Are there any independent reliability studies around? I have seen a few studies in the past (possibly cdfreaks) that show that under torture tests that cd/dvd media is not very good. And that cd/dvd media is also a very bad choice for archival because the media breaks down over time. Personally, I have not seen this happen with write once media as I have 10 year old cd-rs that still read fine however I have had difficulty reading RW media. Besides the low reliability concern, are there any other reasons to avoid using optical DVD with Bacula other than what has been written in Chapter 24 titled DVD Volumes of the current Bacula User's Guide? I consider the DVD writing in bacula to be in a beta stage as backups can have problems writing/appending to the media. In the past I have had a few too many problems (and no time to debug) with this so I have not done any dvd backups in a long time.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula not recognizing tape during restore
On Tue, 02 Oct 2007 00:11:25 +0200, Eric Yellin said: Hi, I have a problem that occurred twice when trying to restore data from a bacula labeled tape. I used label barcodes to label the tapes this worked fine. Backups also completed without errors. However when I needed to restore, things did not go so smoothly :-( Most tapes restored just fine however in 2 occasions I received an error like the following: Requested Volume 101077L1 on Drive-1 (/dev/sa1) is not a Bacula labeled Volume, because: ERR=block.c:957 Read zero bytes at 0:0 on device Drive-1 (/dev/sa1). And then was requested to mount a tape with the same label. From what I read in the list this means that a zero size file exists before the label. I also read that using mt and dd it is somehow possible to get the tape info and then even retrieve the data, I did not however find out how exactly this can be done... So I have 2 questions: 1. Can I retrieve the backed up data from the problematic tape? Probably not (see 2 below). If you want to see what the tape contains using unix tools, then load the tape into drive 1 and do mt -f /dev/nsa1 rewind dd if=/dev/nsa1 bs=64512 | od -c | head -40 mt -f /dev/nsa1 fsf dd if=/dev/nsa1 bs=64512 | od -c | head -40 mt -f /dev/nsa1 fsf dd if=/dev/nsa1 bs=64512 | od -c | head -40 mt -f /dev/nsa1 fsf dd if=/dev/nsa1 bs=64512 | od -c | head -40 This will show the headers of the first 4 tape files, which will contain info about the Bacula jobs if any. 2. Is there a way I can prevent this error from repeating in the future? If so how? I think you need to change the Archive Device options to /dev/nsa1 and /dev/nsa0, the non-rewinding devices. The current configuration uses the rewinding devices, so will overwrite the beginning of the tape each time it is opened. I did test the changer with btape before going into production and it gave me no errors. It is rather surprising that it worked with the rewinding devices (/dev/sa0 etc). __Martin - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Hello Hydro, Hydro Meteor [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: DVD media is not recommended for serious or important backups because of its low reliability. I wonder how long ago this statement was written and if this still remains true today ( e.g., have there been improvements to DVD optical media over time)? DVD-RAM was built with the intention that it keeps data save for 30 years. DVD-RAM has a defect management. DVD-RAM has a metallic dye different to DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, CD-R, CD-RW. DVD-RAM is much slower (! 3x or 5x) than the other optical formats. DVD-RAM is available in catridges to protect the media against physical harm, there are even DVD-RAM burners which accepts directly the catridge.
