[Bacula-users] Spooling / Misconfiguration.
Hi. I'm runnning 2 concurrent jobs, and that works without any problems (after getting the 2 LTO3 drives on their own controller). Is it by design og a misconfiguraion that the two concurrent jobs hit the spooldata size at the same time? It would be nice if the Spool-limit was pr. job or something. Now, even I've got spooling, I'll actually put the 2 jobs to the same tape at the same time (this is a situation where the jobs go to the same pool) 12-Feb 09:49 bacula-sd JobId 13174: User specified spool size reached. 12-Feb 09:49 bacula-sd JobId 13181: User specified spool size reached. 12-Feb 09:49 bacula-sd JobId 13181: Writing spooled data to Volume.

Do you see all 24 slots in the archive console? I believe there is an option somewhere to enable the other magazine? Also have you rebooted since adding the magazine? Hi.

Re: [Bacula-users] Exabyte 224 - Additional magazine not properly recognized
Mingus Dew pisze: Hi all, This is slightly off topic. I've been using an Exabyte Magnum 224 autoloader with 12-slot magazine and single LTO-3 drive with Bacula 2.2.7 for several months now. I recently purchased an additional magazine to increase the number of tapes in a given cycle. According to Exabyte I should only have to insert the magazine for the autoloader to recognize it. Which it seemed to do. However, as a precursor to using this with Bacula, I wanted to test the mtx status output.

[Bacula-users] bat version browser and JobList not working
Hello I have the most recent version of bacula-bat installed. Problem is that when I click on Version Browser or JobList nothing is showing on the right hand window - it is blank. This was working previously. I dont know what Ive done to mess it up. All I can remember is that I was tinkering with the bacula-dir.conf file before this happened. But I have now restored the original file back into place but this hasnt helped. I've rebooting my linux client and restarting the bacula daemons on the Bacula server to no avail. Please help!

Is it by design og a misconfiguraion that the two concurrent jobs hit the spooldata size at the same time? That's by design, as the spool size limit is per storage device... you can limit the spool size per job, too. It would be nice if the Spool-limit was pr. job or something. It's in the manual :-) At http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/install/install/Storage_Daemon_Configuratio.html#DeviceResource there is Maximum Job Spool Size = bytes.

Actually, the writing of the data happens for one job first, then the other job. If you look at the 'status sd' output, you should find that one job is in state despooling while the other is in despool_wait. At least that's what I see all the time. So, in short - nothing to worry about. Arno Thanks. -- Arno Lehmann IT-Service Lehmann www.its-lehmann.de - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Bacula-users] possible bug in bacula-fd on windows
Previously, Arno Lehmann said... Is this really the end of the trace file? It looks a bit... funny because the expected job finishing stuff is not there, and it also doesn't report a serious problem. Can you verify that the FD still runs at this time, and see if it's still got the network connections from the DIR and to the SD open? If all this is the case, I can only recommend looking at what the SD is doing at this time... Hope this helps you forward, Arno The bacula-fd abends at that point, so that's why it isn't fully logging the stuff you'd expect to see for a completed successful backup. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Previously, Drew Bentley [EMAIL PROTECTED] said... So, heavily used server and if I read your email correctly, you're saying each time this runs it's reported as a Full backup? Or is it detected as an incremental? Do you get a status OK when these report to be finished? Any other details? My assumption is, this is not a bug but how you have this setup, the amount of files you are backing up, files being opened and used, added while the backup is taking place, etc. Perhaps with this amount of data to backup and the server being busy with many files changing or being added, you might want to look into taking some type of snapshot to grab the backups from instead of running or grabbing the backups while the server and or files are in some type of use. -Drew Yes there probably are some files changing. I doubt that's giving bacula a problem. I also tried to use VSS but the backups still died. There has not been a successful backup of this filesystem, so it runs as a full whether I specified it as such or not. Thanks for trying to help, but the backup failed hence why I inquired about whether I've found a bug or not. The server is moderately loaded (5% to 15% cpu busy as measured by windows task manager). File changes are typically a file being overwritten with a newer version. Other than that, most of the server access is by IIS opening files for reading, so I don't think it's a locking problem. Either way it probably wouldn't fail on the same file twice an hour apart. I should note that the file it fails on is a web link or .url file which is under 1kb in length. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Bacula-users] possible bug in bacula-fd on windows
Hi,

I'm trying to back up a drive on a windows server which also contains a

Bacula's server components are all running on OpenSuse 10.2
Any help anybody can provide would be greatly appreciated. To me this
looks like a bacula bug as I was able to use windows MS backup to back
up that directory to a local client .bkpf file fine (although I didn't
use that program to try the entire file system). The job stats on the
1st attempt were...
SD Files Written: 146,048
SD Bytes Written: 23,997,511,551 (23.99 GB)
Then on the 2nd attempt they were...
SD Files Written: 146,054
SD Bytes Written: 24,053,535,735 (24.05 GB)
As it's a heavily used web server with lots of people adding files the
fact that these numbers changed didn't surprise me but I thought I'd
include that here just in case it might help. The backup was a full
backup as I've not as of yet been able to back up this file system.
Here's the end of the trace file which ended the same both times... if
this isn't enough kindly let me know what part in the huge file would be
helpful as the file is too large to put on this list at 150 MB.
...
casemed: ../compat/compat.cpp:1172-0 readdir_r(ff8e20, { d_name=Chronic
Myelogenous Leukemia Treatment - National Cancer Institute.url,
d_reclen=70, d_off=102
casemed: ../compat/compat.cpp:194-0 Enter wchar_win32_path
casemed: ../compat/compat.cpp:378-0 Leave wchar_win32_path=\
casemed: ../../filed/heartbeat.c:95-0 wait_intr=0 stop=0
Is this really the end of the trace file?
It looks a bit... funny because the expected job finishing stuff is
not there, and it also doesn't report a serious problem.
Can you verify that the FD still runs at this time, and see if it's
still got the network connections from the DIR and to the SD open?
If all this is the case, I can only recommend looking at what the SD
is doing at this time...
Hope this helps you forward,
Arno

Re: [Bacula-users] Concurrent jobs and priority
Does this mean that the second job (the one with a higher priority number) will be forgotten ? or that it will be run once the first job has finished ?

Hi All Users Been using Bacula for a little while mainly backing up my home network shares, I after for users of views on how successful you have been backing and restoring the below, 1. Windows 2000/3000 servers 2. Exhange Server 3. MS SQL 4. Windows XP/Vista 5. SharePoint Servers Now I am not talking Bare-Bone, but if you have then this would be useful just same server backup and restore when the os can be restored using build disks but then the full restore is done Michael - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
