Re: [Bacula-users] [Bacula-devel] WindowsXP EFS - encrypting file system - How can I backup efs-encrypted files?
Hello, Currently the Bacula Win32 client has no code to handle EFS, so this requires some implementation (i.e. it is not just a bug). To get something implemented, you should follow our Feature Request procedure.

Re: [Bacula-users] WindowsXP EFS - encrypting file system - How can I backup efs-encrypted files?
Hi, EFS encrypted files are not backed up. Those files are definitely not copied to the volume, even though bacula says "Backup OK" with no warnings - volume files is much too small. I updated to 2.2.8 (all) and tried running fd,sd,dir and console on two different computers with winXPsp2-up-to-date. greetings, Sebastian Arno Lehmann wrote: > Hello, > > 27.11.2007 11:51,, Dep, Khushil (GE Money) wrote:: > >> Hi Sebastian, >> >> I'm not sure this is possible at present with the current client code. >> > > Well, I'm not a developer of Bacula, but I looked at Microsofts web > site, and their knowledge bvase states that the Backup API windows > offers can handle encrypted files.

[Bacula-users] Bacula 2.2.8 released
Hello, I have released the Bacula 2.2.8 tar source files and the Win32 binaries to the bacula and Win32 to the Bacula Source Forge release areas. The Win32 binaries have not been tested. Version 2.2.8 is a bug fix to version 2.2.7: - It fixes bugs: 1036, 1033(doc), 1028, 1040, 1045(doc), 1030, 1042(partially), and possibly bugs 1018 and 1032. Bugs 1018 and 1032 involve problems with multiple-drive autochangers, and are difficult to reproduce. See the ChangeLog for more details. Note, version 2.2.8 has a few additional bugs fixed after the BETA 2.2.8 release. Best regards, Kern 2.2.8 ChangeLog Release Version 2.2.8 25Jan08 kes Apply patch from Martin to correct bug #1040, bscan sets existing ClientId to zero. kes Fixed important spelling error in doc -- bug #1045. 23Jan08 kes Move initialization of read/write res lock earlier in the code. This fixes the crash with a null conf file. This fixes bug #1030. kes Redefine CURES in lib/parse_conf to be URES and move it all into lib/parse_conf.c -- this responds to bug #1042, but does not fix it. The fix is not to compile with FORTIFY_SOURCE. kes Backport fix de-referencing a NULL pointer in the scanner from the trunk SVN. I don't think this was reported as a bug. Beta release Version 2.2.8 09Jan08 kes Re-enable the new job code editing (%f). 08Jan08 kes Fix bsnprintf for float point numbers. I broke recently when parameterizing some variables. 03Jan08 kes Move Heartbeat documentation from Job to Director resource. This fixes bug #1033. 02Jan08 kes Fix existing switch drive SD code to call autochanger to release any old volume. This must be done to keep the autochanger from releasing subsequently newly reserved volumes in doing a close(). This should possibly fix bugs #1032 and #1018. kes Apply big backport of current SVN SD code that corrects a number of race conditions. This is a first step in fixing bug #1018. 29Dec07 ebl Fixes bug #1028 where "Selection Type" option was not usable with JobDefs. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Bacula-users] Bacula and off-site storage of tapes
We have recently replaced a Windows-based backup server by a Linux-based one and chosen Bacula as the new backup software. With the old system we had a policy of monthly full backups to tapes labeled with the name of the month, which would be stored off-site and recycled after a year. Once a month our tape jockey would go to the bank vault, deposit the newly written monthly tape, and bring back the tape for the next month. Reading the Bacula documentation I come to the conclusion that using Bacula that way is discouraged, and I should let Bacula choose by itself which tape to use. But then we do not know which tape to place into the bank vault and when, in order to have a backup with a defined maximum age in case of a disaster. What is the recommended way of handling this?

[Bacula-users] bacula-2.2.8 rpm release
Bacula-2.2 RPM Release Notes 27 January 2008 D. Scott Barninger Release 2.2.8-1 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 * * Force stripping of binaries for SuSE packages. Fixed bug 1037. Added nobuild_mtx switch to surpress build of mtx package. Added missing files now required by the rescue configure script. Corrected dist target for rhel5. Corrected QT dependency name for RedHat flavors. Added fix for RHEL5 64 bit QT paths. Added build target for su103. 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" If you encounter problems building the bat package on platforms where you do have the proper QT4 support (QT >= 4.2) it may be necessary to adjust your $QTDIR and $PATH variables. On Fedora 8 it was necessary to: export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt4;export PATH=/usr/lib/qt4/bin:$PATH;rpmbuild blah... *** * 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 < 2.10 platforms. gconsole is now not built on the following platforms: rh7, rh8, rh9, rhel3 (and clones), fc1, fc3, 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. ** * SQLite Upgrade * ** For users of the sqlite package, from 2.2.7 onward sqlite3 replaces sqlite2. Your sqlite2 database file (/var/lib/bacula/bacula.db) is not compatible with sqlite3. During an upgrade the pre-install script will check for this situation. If found it will dump your catalog data to the file /var/lib/bacula/bacula_backup.sql, rename your old catalog file to /var/lib/bacula/bacula.db.old, and exit. You should then re-run the rpm upgrade. After the upgrade is complete restore your catalog data with the following commands (as root): /etc/bacula/drop_sqlite3_tables cd /var/lib/bacula /usr/lib/bacula/sqlite/sqlite3 $* bacula.db < bacula_backup.sql chown bacula.bacula bacula.db ** * 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" --define "build_fc7 1" --define "build_fc8 1" # Whitebox Enterprise build --define "build_wb3 1" # RedHat Enterprise builds --define "build_rhel3 1" --define "build_rhel4 1" --define "build_rhel
[Bacula-users] Using storage in pool as available?
Hi,
I have a small Bacula setup at home that's been running for a few
months. I'm currently in college, and only home every other weekend (not
this weekend). I do most of my backups to disk and only the important
stuff to tape. I have two tape drives, both loaded with tape, figuring
that when one tape fills up and I'm not home to change it, I can backup
to the other drive.
This morning, I was greeted with warnings that my tape had filled up.
Looking in bacula-web, I confirm this:
pool-tape
Vol Name Status
stor1-dds-AFull
stor1-dlt-2Append
>From bacula-dir.conf:
Storage {
Name = STOR1-sd-st0
Password = ***
Address = STOR1.jasonantman.com
SDPort = 9103
Device = dev-STOR1-st0
Media Type = DDS-4
}
Storage {
Name = STOR1-sd-st1
Password = ***
Address = STOR1.jasonantman.com
SDPort = 9103
Device = dev-STOR1-st1
Media Type = DLT7000
}
JobDefs {

Schedule = WeeklyTapeSchedule
Storage = STOR1-sd-st0

For jobdefs, given that I've defined:
Storage = STOR1-sd-st0
Storage = STOR1-sd-st1
is there a way to force bacula to move to STOR1-sd-st1 when STOR1-sd-st0
is full?
Thanks,
Jason

Yes, I am in the process of founding a professional support company that will work hand in hand with the Bacula project. I have discussed this a good number of times over the last year and a half, and I on at least one occasion invited Bacula users to participate in this company -- in the end, if I remember right, I got two or three responses. I have been hoping to official announce it when the company was actually created and when we had a minimal web site operational. However, as is often the case with these kinds of endeavors, it is taking longer than I expected. So if you are interested come to the Salon Solutions Linux in Paris. Unfortunately due to family commitments I will probably not be able to attend personally ... Best regards, Kern - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Bacula-users] Problem with either drivers

When at console I'm running a test to see if I can't get this thing to run. /sbin/btape -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0 Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes. btape: butil.c:285 Using device: "/dev/nst0" for writing. 27-Jan 15:48 btape: Fatal Error at device.c:296 because: dev open failed: dev.c:433 Unable to open device "DDS-4" (/dev/nst0): ERR=Device or resource busy 27-Jan 15:48 btape JobId 0: Fatal error: butil.c:194 Cannot open "DDS-4" (/dev/nst0) I'm assuming it is probably a driver problem but I'm not sure.

This can be resolved rather easily... of course, there are many approches. I prefer to do it like this: - Define a pool for full backups (in your case, for the monthly fulls to go to the vault). - After the scheduled jobs run, make sure all the volumes just used are no longer appendable. This can be achieved by setting a limited volume use time and forcing Bacula to consider the pool in questio n when looking for usable volumes, by using the bconsole command 'update volume', or accessong the catalog database directly. Basically, what I'm usually doing is using a script that looks for volumes loaded in the autochanger, which were used recently, and are in status "Append" and set those to "Used". - Then, just unload all the volumes from that pool and store them safely. Loading the next usable volumes is rather straightforward done manually... Just select the next set uf tapes, and load them to the autochanger. If you've ensured the retention periods are set up correctly (i.e., less than a year - 11 months should be ok) the volumes usable will automatically be chosen when the next jobs are running. The most important thing, in my opinion, is not to rely on volume names but rather to use Baculas front-end to select which volumes to use. Choosing the volumes to load would then only require a catalog query which prints the volume names of the volumes from the relavnt pool which were written to 11 months or more ago, or, more useful, the ones that will be out of their retention time at the next backup runs. I hope this makes sense... > What is the recommended way of handling this? Finding the fitting setup of retention times and - if necessary - a small SQL query is what I do.

Re: [Bacula-users] help please
Hi, in the dir conf file, you did not replace " " by the needed values in the beforejob run command. You shoud enter the values (bacula catalog database name, user and pass) then it will work.
