[Bacula-users] SD Connections problems
Hi All, i've setup bacula for some clients, both windows and *nix, fully TLS encrypted. There are some Laptops which are not always online and indirect makes trouble. My Problem is, when some jobs failed, bacula-dir cannot connect to the SD anymore. Error message is 2008-02-04 10:56:53 backup-server-dir JobId 597: Fatal error: authenticate.c:113 Director unable to authenticate with Storage daemon at backup-server.XX.YY:9103. Possible causes: Passwords or names not the same or Maximum Concurrent Jobs exceeded on the SD or SD networking messed up (restart daemon). Please see http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/faq.html#AuthorizationErrors for help. Maximum Concurent Jobs is set to 200 (on dir, fd, sd) and SD hangs now. When i increase this, i get this error just later. It seems that something does not frees a connection to the SD. Is there any way to find out what is going on, who's currently connected or so? Bacula version is 2.2.8 but any older version has this error too. Thanks in advance, Joern Koerner - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Bacula-users] Last 7 days
I need to backup about 6 windows servers, one is a storage server,
others are domain controllers and sql servers.
All servers, except for storage, will produce a single backup file (huge).
In my mind i need something like that:
- 7 volumes
- each sunday first volume is erased and a new full backup is done.
- other days same thing, but incremental.
(i hope is not a foolish thing)
Many thanks

Volume retention is probably all you need but you have not described

So, what if... something crashes on Sunday right after recycling the full backup volume, before a new full backup would be finished (maybe a weekly period of an hour or two, when your server is running at full throttle due to the backup job)? Then you wouln't have any full backup left any more, and the incrementals won't help you very much alone. I recommend adding one more volume, to the total of 8. If all the volumes are of the same physical size (~similar tapes) you could always recycle the oldest, then full backup would fit to any of them, and the tapes would experience same usage on average, although the ones holding the incrementals would keep being less full that week. Actually, this way you could consider making differential backups instead of incremental ones. Other way, have two bigger volumes for full backups, and always recycle the older of them. This way you would actually have both full backups available for almost 2 weeks, and you could store them in separate locations etc... Then six (smaller) ones for the incrementals, just recycle the oldest. And keep in mind that to recover the system on Saturday, you'll need full backup and all the 6 incrementals. -- TiN - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Bacula-users] media change woes on weekends
I'm using a Daily pool for incremental backups on weekdays, and a Weekly pool for full backups on weekends. The Weekly pool has Volume Use Duration = 8h because the full backup goes into off-site storage. Now if Bacula hits the end of a Weekly tape, the weekend's remaining jobs will block waiting for the next tape. Come monday, the operator finally labels a new tape - which Bacula immediately transitions from Append to Used because it sees the maximum duration of use as exceeded. Apparently that duration is counted from the start of the job, not as I thought from the start of using that volume. So the volume's state has to be manually updated in order for the backup to proceed - something which is much too complicated for the tape operator, so I end up doing that myself. :-( Worse, if monday is a holiday, monday's jobs will queue up behind those of the weekend. When the tape change has finally been performed, the weekend jobs finish - except for the BackupCatalog job, which has Priority = 11 to make it run after the others, and is now postponed until *monday's* file backup jobs have run. Consequence: Bacula asks for the Daily tape, writes the incremental backups, and then asks for the Weekly tape again to append the catalog data - of course marking it not appendable again as soon as it sees it, see above. Obviously I'm doing something wrong. Can someone help my ignorance?

[Bacula-users] Force Bacula to skip failed jobs?
Maybe this is more of a comment than a question, as I've scoured the docs and haven't found and answer. But... I'm using Bacula for my home development network, web server, mail server, etc. I'm offsite except for 2 weekends a month. I don't have an autoloader, so I have 2 tape drives, and usually time it so one backup fits on one tape, and switch tapes every other weekend. A week ago I had just done more work than usual on one of the machines, and filled the tape prematurely. So, I woke up to a Nagios screen that looked like the set of a bad slasher movie. Not only had the tape runs stopped half way through (asking to label a new tape), but the subsequent differentials to disk were queueing up behind the failed tape runs - all just because of a filed tape. More importantly, I had another tape drive with an empty tape sitting there in the same pool. So, is there any way to, or any plans to add (in future releases) an option to: 1) allow backups to move to another storage resource in the same pool when the first one is full (if implemented, I guess a config file option) 2) NOT have backups pile up - i.e. if a backup to a tape pool A is waiting or failed, and another backup comes up going to a disk pool B, let the other backup run?

Re: [Bacula-users] Must resource names match?
On Mon, 4 Feb 2008 12:52:06 -0500, Ben Hyde said:
I have Bacula installed[1] and running, thanks.
That installation gave me some sample configuration files. I got to
writing up my notes as kind of self audit of my install and ...
I'm so confused! I assume that if the same resource is described in
two configuration files, and they both provide a name for that
resource that name should be identical. Otherwise, at minimum, the
reports created using bconsole are going to get confusing.
But the storage daemon's resource, in the examples I got when I
installed, don't follow that rule. In the director deamon's
configuration file it's named File (sic), while in the storage
deamon's configuration file it's called elm-sd.
Presumably there isn't any code to check that the names match.
That's my question? Should names attributes, if given, for a given
resource be identical across configuration files? Or is it a must?
In a related matter this text appears in the bacula-sd.conf.sample file:
...
#
# Devices supported by this Storage Daemon
# To connect, the Directiors'bacula-dir.conf must have the
# same Name and MediaType
#
Device {
Name = FileStorage
Media Type = File
...
Which leads one to think that the storage daemon on the director side
should be named after the device name. Which seems wrong.
Like I said I have it all working, and at this point I've changed the
director's config file to get rid of the storage resource called
File. I changed it to the name used in the storage daemon's config
file - since that's what feels correct to me. If somebody can point
out where these sample configuration files are in the svn browser I'd
can provide put together some patches.
The director's configuration references the names of the storage daemon's
devices, not the daemon itself. This is because a storage daemon can have
several devices. The name of the storage daemon is not used outside that
daemon's configuration file.

I know that i'm missing something about the EXCLUDE list but i can't
seem to figure out what.
What do i need to change to exclude all .snapshot direcories inthe
file system?
The problem with the above is that File = line must match the whole path.
Instead of using an Exclude clause, you need to put an Options clause at the
start of the Include clause containing something like
wilddir = */.snapshot
exclude = yes
There are examples of this in the FileSet Examples section manual.

[Bacula-users] Getting device / autochanger status for external script?
Hi all, I'm writing an external perl script to query the bacula DB so I can grab out the list of tapes in the autochanger and do some formating on the resulting data to make it easier to read. But what I really want is to be able to: 1. know t he number of slots/drives in the autochanger(s). 2. query the drives. 3. query the slots. 4. then query the media DB to figure out the status of various pieces of media. I've got the intial script working, which only queries (via mysql) the Media DB to find out some info and pretty print the data. But of course the Storage and Device tables aren't actually populated. And I don't think I want to parse the Bacula configuration files to run my queries. Should I be running bconsole commands and parsing the output instead? Something like this: bconsole -c /etc/bacula/bacula-director.conf EOF status storage EOF And then take all the output and parse it with my perl script? Ugly... And does anyone else find it annoying that you can't do: status slots but instead you have to run: update slots drive=0 even if you *don't care* which drive gets used, bacula should just pick it's own damm drive for the checking, if needed. And since update slots hacks the Media table, what's the process to get the status without an update? Thanks, John - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

I have not received a response from him yet but if I do receive one I will share it on this mailing list. One way or another, there ought to be a way to get to the bottom of what Apple has done (differently) with POSIX ACLs and then hopefully they can be incorporated into Bacula.

Time Machine is probably going to be fine for mass consumers but for those of us running professional systems on OS X Server we will want control of our file system backup and recovery with Bacula.

Thanks :) If the director is the machine with the database then you can use RunBeforeJob otherwise you have to use ClientRunBeforeJob. Awsome! I could not find that anywhere :) Isn't there a mysqldump for windows? I do not think this is a good way of backing up a database that is in use I wasn't too sure about it either. I will use mysqldump instead. However, I have been testing with simple files, so I didn't put the db at risk. It seems that the targeted script is simply not run at all, the result would be the same with any script wouldn't it? Regards Dan - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Bacula-users] Introduction
Hi all, I'm Peter, and I found bacula about a week ago. That week I was very busy and didnt sleep all nights, trying to get the thing together. Most of the time I was very delighted. I had been working with a (usually well known) IBM storage product for large enterprises, and had occasionally thought that it would be nice to have such a beast for my servers @home... Doesn't work out, because 1. that one's too bulky for small machines, and 2. it doesn't run on FreeBSD. So, it's really great somebody took the effort to write something similar for us self-compilers... Now, during this week I did run into lots of weirdnesses, a couple of bugs (some of them showing to be wetware bugs, i.e. between keyboard and monitor) and some race-conditions (wrong tape in autoloader is practically impossible if there is no autoloader, eh?) So, finally I decided to signup this mlist, although I hate it. (I have some couple of dozens of mailadresses gathered up over 20 years of internet, and long-lost any idea about which one is for what - so: where to push another mlist??? And how to find the correct sender address when I want to post??? And no, I don't have a better solution.) Alright, folks, so far for that. Different issues will follow in separate mails for better distinguishment. best regards, PMc -- ..having tossedaway Microsoft(tm) already in 1991! - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Bacula-users] RunBeforeJob on Win32 fails with no errors.
I am pretty sure the xcopy script IS failing. I just can't figure out why. If I use my DEL script in place of the xcopy script, it works like a charm. Yet, if I run the xcopy batchfile manually it also completes flawlessly. I would assume this is a permissions thing, but bacula was installed under the Administrator account. Having decided to use mysqldump, this is now all moot. I am playing with mysqldump now, will let you know how it goes. Cheers for the help Dan John Drescher wrote: I apologise for the confusion.

Re: [Bacula-users] MySQL Errors being logged
The first thing I'd check is to make sure that the partition holding /tmp isn't running out of space. If it is, either tell MySQL to use a different directory with more space, or increase the amount of space allocated to /tmp. Just to follow up, I freed up some space and the problem hasn't come back. Thanks for the tip. James - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Bacula-users] I have a bug in 2.2.7 DIR: misbehave on kill
Hi all, I have a functional problem with the director daemon. The problem depends on the configuration of the scheduler. As long as there are only schedules in effect with any granularity of *daily*, there is no problem. But as soon as you configure a schedule with any kind of granularity of *hourly* (that is, a schedule that is run at specific times every hour) *AND* put that schedule into effect by calling it from some job, then following problem appears: The SIGTERM signal doesn't work anymore. Instead of terminating, the bacula-dir goes into an endless loop and eats all available cpu. Sending *another* SIGTERM at that point will terminate the daemon correctly. The problem therein is: when doing a main system shutdown, the rc.shutdown will send _one_ SIGTERM to the daemon, and then will just wait for the daemon to terminate. It will wait for 15 minutes; then a watchdog hits in and does a forced halt of the whole system - which isnt nice for all the other innocent daemons running. It is not too troublesome, as we usually do the shutdowning only twice a year, but it should occasionally be fixed, just for beauty. rgds, PMc -- ..having tossedaway Microsoft(tm) already in 1991! - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Bacula-users] 2.2.7 DIR stalls on max Storage jobs
Hi all, my biggest problem currently is that after some days the whole system stalls with a couple of hundred jobs all being in that state: 699 Full MoveToTapeInternal.2008-02-05_17.55.29 is waiting on max Storage jobs At that point nothing at all is processed, the SD is perfectly idle without any jobs, and all new jobs are queued up with either the above max Storage state or with this one: 698 Full DBLogsInternal1.2008-02-05_17.55.28 is waiting execution Now ony can try and begin cancelling in this heap, but this will not make the jobs disappear - they will stay in the stat list of the DIR, only the state changes to has been cancelled. Occasionally one cancels somekind of specific job in the heap - and then a whole bunch of the already cancelled ones goes away! But in the end there will always stay about 10 jobs in the list as has been cancelled, and they will never go away, and any new backup jobs will again stall with waiting on max Storage. Restore jobs do still work at that point. The only help is to restart the DIR. How to reproduce: I start a migration from disk storage to tape storage. This will bring up maybe 100 migration jobs (most of them working on empty filesets, but nevertheless bringing up migration jobs). Now while this migration is running, the scheduler will continuously create new regular backupjobs according to schedules. Interestingly (and I do not know why) these new jobs are *not* just put at the end of the queue, to be processed after the whole migration; instead they are executed right after the current migration job (it seems like the migration running at a someway lower priority, which would make sense from a practical viewpoint - except that it does not work). And as long as it goes that way, everything is fine. But the migration works through different storage pools, and consequently it will request various tape volumes as targets, one after another. If maybe I am asleep or watching video, and do *not* change tapes immediately on request, then the nwewly created regular backupjobs will pile up; they will *not* be put in front and executed, instead everything seems to wait for that tapechange. (This is one of the problems I have with insufficient parallelism - I still have to work on these.) And after the tapechange is done, it will do some more work, and then the described deadlock appears! And I cannot find out where this max Storage jobs is configured. I have initally set up all the various concurrent jobs with values that seem to make sense from a practical viewpoint - not too high and not too low - mostly between 2 and 5 (except some special jobs that create locks and must never run in parallel). I fear I now must go the long and hard way, and set all concurrency back to 1, see if it works that way, and then bring it in again step by step while understanding the precise implications... (There is already quite a couple of facets of bacula which I had to do that way during the last days, while often it came out my initial understanding of the concepts being someway unsatisfactory...) rgds, PMc -- ..having tossedaway Microsoft(tm) already in 1991! - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

So in the end I did recompile the USENET forwarder, and hacked some code into it that it does insert a fake Sender: line into the header of outbound mails, and that seems did the trick.

[Bacula-users] 2.2.7: Mirror and Migrate don't like each other
Hi folks, in the definition of a Job there is the Run= option for making cloned Jobs. It is said in the documentation that by this you can create the same job again (or a different one), with some changed parameters (like the storage target). So, practically this would be the way to do tape mirroring. At first approach this seems to work (with some lesser pitfalls which I will come to soon). It results in two objects saved to the storage media, one from the primary job and one from the cloned. The big surprise comes when at a later time the created jobs shall be migrated from one storage to another. That migration will work, but after it has completed, the old cloned job will be run again with its original setup! So what do we have: 1. primary job - primary object on media 1a 2. cloned job - mirror object on media 1b and at a later time 3. migration a - move primary object to media 2a 4. migration b - move mirrored object to media 2b So far that would be what is intended. But then happens without reason and out of schedule: 5. cloned job - new mirror object on media 1b When this is an ordinary filespace backup, then it is just a nuisance and fills up media and disturbs schedule. It is worse when it is some special intelligent job doing some interlocking, like moving out database redo-logs which are not redundant and MUST exist COMPLETELY. In any case, I consider it a bug. rgds, PMc -- ..having tossedaway Microsoft(tm) already in 1991! - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
