[Bacula-users] Howto define pool for weekly tape change

[Tom Meiner]

Hi!

I have a Libra 8 DDS3 with 8 tapes. I defined the Pool with 6 tapes in
bacula-sd.conf and bconsole shows

list pools Automatically selected Catalog: MyCatalog Using Catalog
"MyCatalog"
++-+-+-+--+-+
| PoolId | Name| NumVols | MaxVols | PoolType | LabelFormat |
++-+-+-+--+-+
| 1  | Default | 7   | 7   | Backup   | *   |
++-+-+-+--+-+


In slot 8 I have my cleaning tape.

I want to switch between 2 tape sets of 7 tapes each.
 and labled them Set01-0001 to Set01-0007 and Set02-0001 to
Set02-0007

Each Friday I want to change the tapes and therefor I have created a
script to delete the last weeks tapes from the catalog, add the tape and
prune them.


automount on
delete volume=Set02-0001
yes
delete volume=Set02-0002
yes
delete volume=Set02-0003
yes
delete volume=Set02-0004
yes
delete volume=Set02-0005
yes
delete volume=Set02-0006
yes
delete volume=Set02-0007
yes
add
2
7
Set01-
1
1
yes
purge jobs volume=Set01-0001
purge jobs volume=Set01-0002
purge jobs volume=Set01-0003
purge jobs volume=Set01-0004
purge jobs volume=Set01-0005
purge jobs volume=Set01-0006
purge jobs volume=Set01-0007
quit



Is there a better solution? i.e with

 update slots scan

But how can I have all the tapes in the pool?

That info comes from the .state files which are handled directly by each
daemon (ie, each fd stores it's own fd.state file, etc).  That data that are
stored in the state files is purely informational only - you can safely blow
it all away or just ignore it without risking any operational problems.

Sorry to ask a painful question :-)  ... but in your answer, I have many

suffering).

heh! I can understand -- there's lots to collect. Also, you probably started
this project before you would have the benefits of community organized

Arno and friends, it was the dvd+rw-mediainfo (running in Debian as the
Guest Operating System under Parallels as a virtual machine) that gave me
the info which then gave me hints and clues. For example, I am using
TDK 4.7GB DVD+RW discs. When I rand the dvd+rw-mediainfo after
inserting a new TDK
DVD+RW out of the spindle, I got the following output:

$ dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/cdrom

The output correctly identifies my Apple Xserve's OEM DVD burner (their
"SuperDrive") as being from Matshita (I think a division of Panasonic).

Yeah, I found that when I was searching, but it doesn't make a difference.

Re: [Bacula-users] DVD+RW: is "reformatting" the same as "blanking"?

[Hydro Meteor]

Arno, et all:

Thanks for the pointers to these sites. The depths of the optical media
world is one that most people can usually take for granted but when one
finds oneself in the Bacula DVD business, then these depths are important to
understand (such as these terms).

Cheers,

Re: [Bacula-users] Possible Database Corruption

[Bob Duman]

I can actually see all of the complete jobs through this morning with the 'list 
jobs' command.  I think the database is OK, but if anyone can help me 
understand what shows up in the "Terminated Jobs" listings, that would be great.

Subject: [Bacula-users] Possible Database Corruption

Last night our server room overheated and the system that Bacula run's on 
locked up.  Bacula was in the middle of a backup job waiting for a tape change 
when the system crashed.  Five backup jobs had already completed, it was on the 
6th and there were two more to complete after the tape was changed and the 6th 
job finished.  After restarting the system, MySQL and Bacula both started 
without any errors.

Now when I look at the status for the director and the clients in bconsole, it 
appears that there are missing jobs as follows:


1)  When I run 'status director', the latest date for terminated jobs in 
the list is October 30.  Jobs run every night so there should be terminated 
jobs from October 31, November 1, and the 5 that completed before the crash on 
November 2.

2)  When I run 'status client=' for each client, some of the clients show 
terminated jobs from no later than October 11, while others show October 11 and 
November 2 but nothing in between.  One of the clients shows all of the recent 
jobs.

Do I have a corrupted database due to the crash, or am I missing something here 
as to how to see these jobs?

[Bacula-users] Large file support not getting enabled

[Chris Cameron]

First off, this is in OpenBSD 4.1.

I'm compiling Bacula 2.2.5 and I'm not able to get large file support 
enabled.

Does anyone know what I need to do? I know OpenBSD supports large files, 
and Bacula works fine with files under 2 gigs.

Below is some output:


Compiling with:
./configure --prefix=/home/bacula --with-openssl --with-mysql

While compiling:

[Bacula-users] Problems building RPM packages

[Shon Stephens]

All,
 I am trying to build bacula-2.0.3 rpms for RHEL4. I'm using
2.0.3because that is the version I'm running on my Solaris backup
server
(Blastwave packages are only at 2.0.3)

The only SRPM I was able to find is bacula-2.0.3-10.fc6.src.rpm. When I
attempt to rebuild the srpm for my distribution, I get this error

rpmbuild --rebuild --define "build_rhel4 1"

error: Failed build dependencies:
wxGTK-devel is needed by bacula-2.0.3-10.i386
sqlite-devel is needed by bacula-2.0.3-10.i386
latex2html is needed by bacula-2.0.3-10.i386

These dependencies are not available in RHEL until release 5. I don't want
to build the docs, I don't want to build the server, I just want to build a
bacula-client-2.0.3.rhel4.x86_64.rpm and .i386 rpm. I tried removing the
dependencies from the .spec file. This seems to work ok...except then it
just won't build. Basically its unzips the source in
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/bacula-2.0.3, then creates a directory
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/bacula-2.0.3/bacula-2.0.3/ and copies the source into
it for compilation. The build then fails because it can't locate
"./configure", which does exist and is in the right place. Personally I like
bacula, but this is just ridiculous.

 Can anyone help with either a correct procedure to produce these RPMS
for RHEL3/4, or provide me with bacula-client-2.0.3 rpms for these releases?
And yes, I've already read the readme and tried using the build_rpm.sh
script

Thanks,
Shon

The reason why I knew to look there is that is the same functionality

[Bacula-users] Old versions of Bacula

[Weber, Philip]

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to get hold of old versions of Bacula
source (or Solaris packages?).  I am struggling to get a File Daemon
compiled for Solaris 2.6.  It might be lack of intelligence on my part,
but it occurs to me that I might have more luck with old source.

(And for those who will comment on it, apologies for the HUGE email
trailer which my company will attach to this).

thanks, Phil

This is why I _always_ "diff" my config files after an update.

John, thank you for sharing your experiences. Its a good reminder that 1,000
is probably quite liberal. I wonder if Kern (or whomever maintains the
Bacula User's Guide) would consider revising to incorporate your
experiences?

The good news is that for basic servers where DVD capacities are fine,
DVD+RWs are quite cheap at about $1 USD per disc.

Cheers,

[Ian Parker]

I am sure that this may have been addressed at some point, but is there an easy 
way to set up a bacula-fd to autostart in SLES 10 or SuSE 10? Thanks in 
advance. for any information.

[Bacula-users] status storage

[GDS.Marshall]

Hello,

Linux 2.6.x
bacula 2.2.5 patched from sourceforge

I have checked the documentation, but can not find any reference to this. 
It appears a status storage is showing the wrong pool.  I have never had
this before.

I have just retired some old Media (purge and delete) and added some new
Media to the Pool Monthly, some to Pool Weekly and some to Pool Daily. 
>From a schedule point of view, today is a Daily day, and tomorrow a
Monthly (1st Sat).  I have mounted Media JDZ367 which is in Pool Monthly
for tomorrows backup, and the correct tape for tomorrow.

Would someone point me in the right direction as to why I am seeing Pool
Daily and not the correct pool for the media please?

Device status:
Autochanger "Autochanger" with devices:
   "DLT-V4" (/dev/nst0)
Device "DLT-V4" (/dev/nst0) is mounted with:
Volume:  JDZ367
Pool:Daily
Media type:  DLT-V4
Slot 2 is loaded in drive 0.
Total Bytes Read=129,024 Blocks Read=2 Bytes/block=64,512
Positioned at File=0 Block=0


In Use Volume status:
JDZ367 on device "DLT-V4" (/dev/nst0)

Data spooling: 0 active jobs, 0 bytes; 43 total jobs, 11,936,072,411 max
bytes/job.

Some one with more experience may correct me, but I would

Set MaxVols to 0 for the pool
Set VolRetention to 8 days for the tapes (could be 13 but as long as it is
greater than 7 you should be okay)

every seven days, eject all your tapes, insert your new ones, and do an
"update slots"  This will update bacula with which Volumes are loaded.

[Bacula-users] New tape mount problem when previous tape exceeds max volume duration

[Timo Neuvonen]

I have a CentOS 5 system, running Bacula-2.2.4 with MySQL database, and 
Exabyte VXA-320 tape drive 1x10 1U autoloader.

I have a pool called "cycle", with a few tapes, and max volume duration 
setting of 35 days. So, after this time expires, the previous tape will be 
marked "used" although not full yet, and the oldest tape in the pool will be 
recycled.

However, the new tape won't be mounted properly, after the old tape had 
expired. This is what happens:

Yes, the disk is full not because of Bacula so I am unable to upload anything.  
 
I am working on moving the web site.

Re: [Bacula-users] DVD+RW "overwrites" DVD RAM

[John Huttley]

I'm sorry,
but some months back I put a bug report into the linux system about DVD-RAM.
Its appalling. Like a 400Mb linux source tree takes about 30 mins.

Maybe if you can write to it outside of the context of a  filesystem, 
you can get some results.

You have the same behaviour in every programs that run commands...
(I have this in ssh sessions for example)

Bacula is reading stdout/stderr to get output commands, and if they are
not closed properly (at the end of the script for example), bacula will wait
forever.

[Bacula-users] continuation tapes

[Craig White]

I am a bit befuddled.

I have a 'Full' backup which consists of 4 jobs but it extends onto 2
tapes.

the Pool permits 4 jobs
  Maximum Volume Jobs = 4
  Volume Retention = 19d
  Volume Use Duration = 4d

The first 2 1/2 jobs are written to the first tape and the status is
marked 'Full'  - so far so good

The balance of the 3rd and the whole 4th job are written to the second
tape, the 'Full' backup is completed, tape ejected and the the status is
marked 'Append' but I expected it to be marked as 'Used'

Obviously I don't want to have to manually change the volume status to
'Used', what settings am I missing to have this tape used until it's
time in the rotation comes up again (3 weeks)

Re: [Bacula-users] Setting up autostart in SLES or SuSE

Hi, I enclose my init script (tested on openSUSE 10.0, 10.1, 10.2 & 10.3).

For the clients (FD alone) I ise the same, but without "mysql" on  
the "Required-Start" header line.

To install it: 
- copy it in the scripts/ directory of the bacula installation 
(eg. /bacula/scripts)

# chmod 750 /bacula/scripts/bacula-suse
# cd /etc/init.d
# ln -s /bacula/scripts/bacula-suse bacula
# insserv bacula

To uninstall it:
# insserv -r bacula

Hope it helps.

Cheers!

first number is rarely used for that, it's usually second one.
it would mean using 0.8.z as a release branch.
as soon as development get's ready to start releasing 
alphas/betas/whatever, those are not released as "0.9 beta 18", but as 
0.9.z. next stable release thus is 0.10.0

this does not require supporting both branches separately, but gives an 
easy way to do so, if desired.

as for actual numbering, modeling it after a disfunctional installer 
doesn't seem a good idea.

Re: [Bacula-users] scsi problems

[Michael Galloway]

ok, i'd like to revisit this issue. i changed scsi cards and i still
get scsi crashes from btape test command. new card is adaptec 29320:

03:06.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec ASC-29320A U320 (rev 10)

i spent the morning tar onto and off the LTO-4 drive:

[5:0:15:0]   tapeIBM  ULTRIUM-TD4  7950  /dev/st0

with no issues. then i erased the tape and started with btape again:

./btape -c bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0
Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes.
btape: butil.c:285 Using device: "/dev/nst0" for writing.
btape: btape.c:368 open device "LTO4" (/dev/nst0): OK
*test

=== Write, rewind, and re-read test ===

I'm going to write 1000 records and an EOF
then write 1000 records and an EOF, then rewind,
and re-read the data to verify that it is correct.

This is an *essential* feature ...

btape: btape.c:827 Wrote 1000 blocks of 64412 bytes.
btape: btape.c:501 Wrote 1 EOF to "LTO4" (/dev/nst0)
btape: btape.c:843 Wrote 1000 blocks of 64412 bytes.
btape: btape.c:501 Wrote 1 EOF to "LTO4" (/dev/nst0)
btape: btape.c:852 Rewind OK.
1000 blocks re-read correctly.

hangs there with this in the dmesg log:

so, in the end i cannot make a successful btape test run with this LTO-4 drive
with two different scsi cards. i guess my question is, is this a bacula btape 
issue or an LTO or spectralogic scsi issue?

I have seen this several times and for me it caused other problems.
This was is bug and I believe it was fixed in bacula 2.3.X which is
the current svn version. As for a workaround restarting the director
usually fixes this.

I believe "Maximum Volume Jobs" here will allow at most 4 jobs to a
single volume and since there are only 2 jobs written to the last
volume it can hold 2 more.

Hint no. 1: Upgrade to 2.2.5 (or newer). I saw similar problems at a 
customer, and I believe (not yet confirmed in an organized way) that 
hese problems vanished after their upgrade.

Not really... I never needed to investigate further (which in itself

If you're stuck in such a situation, try the following:
- umount the device from bconsole.
- on the shell (or from the library's control panel) unload the tape 
currently loaded.
- make sure a usable tape for the job in question is available in the 
autochanger.
- in bconsole, mount the device from the slot you expect to be used.
- check if the job is running.

In my case, this worked, and was easier done than trying to analyze 
the problem, especially as the upgrade to 2.2.5 was already scheduled.

This is a dangerous thing to do, as you lose the ability to restore

Not really a problem, as long as you manage the volumes manually 
anyway. Just make sure there are usable volumes in the autoloader - 
these will be preferred.

You could refine the above strategy by disabling the volumes currently 
not loaded, but as long as these are still in their retention periods 
and marked as "Full" or "Used" they won't be recycled anyway.

Ignore that information - it's from the state files, and these 
probably are not up to date after a server crash.

Try a catalog query, in the simplest case for all the jobs from a client.

Using SQL, you could also print a list of each job on all the clients 
that finished successfull.

In general, I find that simply letting Bacula decide what to do is 
sufficient - you might skip one job, but that's about the worst thing 
that could happen.

To be on the safe side, I'd suggest to run a dbcheck on your catalog 
to ensure the catalogues internal structure is ok - the database can't 
detect problems there.

Well, kind of... there was information available, but I think I was 
slowed down a bit by not really understanding the technological 
issues. I might have had better results with more time (rather 
obvious) or if I restricted my attempt to get results to only one type 
of media (like DVD+RW) but, contributing to an open source project, I 
decided that, whatever I came up with, should be as universally usable 
as possible.

That is really astonishing... as far as I recall, all DVD and CD 
technologies use 2k block sizes, and I believe this is required by the 
standards they follow. So, 2k blocks for dd should have been used from 
the start :-)

The reason nobody before seemed to notice that might be that different 
drives handle this stuff differently - that seems to be part of the 
problems with optical media: the drive manufacturers really don't 
implement a strict standard, they implement something that works most 
of the time but is poorly documented.

I'm really not sure... I know that btape works correctly; at least it 
did so everytime I used it.

LTO tapes, too, can be used without problems by Bacula, and btape 
testing them works for me and many others, too.

Finally, I'm quite sure that Bacula is run on Spektralogic hardware 
somewhere out there.

Currently, I can only recommend to ensure you've got the latest 
firmware for HBA and tape device, a proven driver and kernel on your 
system, and run a current version of btape.

If the problem persists (which I assume) you should file a bug report 
at bugs.bacula.org and perhaps also contact the developers of the SCSI 
driver you're running.

Apart from that I can only wish good luck...

Arno

The staus command offers all the clients currently defined in your 
configuration.

The list command lists all the clients found in the catalog.

Clients are only added to the catalog when they are actually 
contacted, so, if you have just added new clients but neither a job or 
a status command has been run on them, they won't be added to the catalog.

If you remove a client from the configuration, its information will 
remain in the catalog.

Does this explain your findings?

I get that. I can't change the number to 2 because then it would stop
after the second job and force me into a new tape leaving half the first
tape filled and not enough room on second tape to complete the next 2
jobs (the second being a standard BackupCatalog job).

I find it hard to believe that I am the only one who is spanning tapes
on a single Pool and wanting to have the last tape marked 'Used' instead
of 'Append'

I believe after 4 days it will be marked as used because of your
"Volume Use Duration". I am not 100% sure because I do not do this
kind of thing with my volumes.

True... but as it is, many users try to avoid problems they might run 
into when jobs are added, or don't run for whatever reason, so they 
don't limit the volume use by the number of jobs, but rather by the 
time it can be used after an initial write ;-)

So my suggestion is to use "Volume Use Duration" instead of the job 
limit. Depending on your needs, limiting by size might also be useful 
- "Maximum Volume Bytes" is the corresponding option.

Does that help?

in that I have set (as noted above) Volume Use Duration to 4d, if it
marks the set as 'Used' on Tuesday (Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday)
constituting the 4 days and then Bacula respects the 'Volume Retention',
I am good to go.

As you might expect, I am concerned that the next usage of ThursdayPool,
that it asks for this Volume because it is still marked 'Append' and I
would want it to ultimately ask for the one of the ThursdayPool volumes
whose 'Volume Retention' has expired.

The configure script just forces largefile_support="yes" for bsdi and freebsd,
so the detection code might be incompatible with the BSDs.  Do all versions of
OpenBSD support it?  If so, then forcing it for OpenBSD might be the best
solution.

Great for you! Its always great if you can get paid for learning (instead of
paying tuition to the school or educator).

Thank you, that is quite noble to do (because not everyone is going to use
DVD+RW that's for sure).

For a moment I thought my eyes went buggy and I had made a mistake in my
assertion, but since you also found that "astonishing" I thought I'd double
check. Yep, here it is:

Based on this email thread, the line of interest should be corrected to
state:

dd if=/dev/zero bs=2048 count=512 | growisofs -Z /dev/xxx=/dev/fd/0

I think this is an important correction to make especially for people who
are not familiar with writing to optical media with low level command line
tools. What is the proper p

 I believe "Maximum Volume Jobs" here will allow at most 4 jobs to a
 single volume and since there are only 2 jobs written to the last
 volume it can hold 2 more.

In my experience, Bacula does handle retention periods correctly.

Let's say your volume is marked as used on Thursday, and it's been 
last written to on Thursday, too, and you've got a retention time of 
six days, that volume could be recycled next weeks Thursday.

If you swapped the volumes and updated the catalog accordingly, Bacula 
will prefer volumes in the autochanger, i.e. when it needs a Thursday 
volume, it will prune, recycle, and use that volume automatically.

I think this is what you need.

Re: [Bacula-users] Problems building RPM packages

[Ryan Novosielski]

Blastwave has newer pacakges in testing. If you can't find them (I believe 
it may be as simple as changing the URL to include testing instead of the 
other repository). They have 2.2.3 available if I am not mistaken. I've 
been meaning to upgrade (and now feel guilty since he asked me to try them 
out).

[Bacula-users] bat error dialogs in operation

[John Huttley]

Hi,
I started off my library with 12 tapes and "label barcodes".

Then I add another 5 tapes and ran "label barcodes" again.

It correctly noted that the first 12 were already labeled, but then 
popped up 12 dialogs, all on top of each other.
It was impossible to click on "ok" until the labelling had stopped. 
During this time bat was unresponsive.

I suggest you simply don't pop up dialogs for this case.

Regards,

john
