Re: [Bacula-users] Problems with Webacula
Hi
It seems all is in this sentence
"The pgsql driver is not currently installed"
Did you have your bacula running with postgresql ?
So to access the bacula catalog the underlaying Zend Framework & PHP need also
the pdo_pgsql extension
(which is quite easy to install : just activate it or get it from pecl)

Re: [Bacula-users] client list for restores sort order
I would have to say that Bob Hetzel is on to something. I have 769 clients
and the client list is unwieldly. The only way for me to find my client is
to cut and past the list into an editor and use a search function. After
choosing a restore client I often restore to an alternate computer. The
restore client list is returned alphabetically. Why the inconsistency?
Sometimes I run out of screen buffer (putty) and can't see the entire list.
Is it possible for me to pass params to bconsole to initiate a restore
without having to deal with long lists of clients?

Hey John,
I have a similar problem at the moment. The problem originates from the
fact that Bacula seems to be unable to seperate restore jobs based on
storage pools (so a system with files stored in multiple pools will
require volumes from all pools used).
As far as I know this is currently not solved - you might work around it
by making a full offsite backup followed by a full local backup: this
way both locations have a complete data set. But for my sake it is too
much work and takes too much space.
Bacula 3.0 will have Copy Jobs - a job type which copies backup jobs
between storage pools. I think that is great for getting the offsite
backups you and me want :-)
Regards,
Berend Dekens

It's horrible, terrible, ugly, and difficult to support over time.

In the second instance (Scratch), it's given by name. The other items (1, 11, 1, 1, 4, 7, 14) are all from lists. Horrible to debug or document, and very easy to break. Tell me, quickly, what's does the 3rd instance of "1" mean there? I'd really like to see bacula support both the current style (as to not break too many scripts) and also support specifying items verbosely, so that the previous example would be written as: - bconsole -c /usr/local/bacula/etc/bconsole.conf << E-O-COMMANDS update vol Volume parameters Pool Incremental $mediaID Scratch update vol Volume parameters Volume Status Scratch $mediaID Append Done - It's not beautiful, but it's much easier to read, write, and debug, and it's resistent to future interface changes.

Well, that depends on the sort of block you encounter. If it's the SD aving trouble accessing a drive, issuing one or more 'mount' commands usually work for me. Sometimes you might need an explicit 'umount'. If that doesn't work because, for example, a tape drive can't be unloaded due to stuck hardware, use 'release'. If you've got to power-cycle a tape drive or tape changer, that can usually be done without problems. Depending on your OS, when the device is available again, you might need to notify the OS of the newly available hardware, or trigger creation of the device files. It's even possible you have to manually move around some device files - for example, if the tape is known as /dev/nst0, and that entry still exists after power-cycling the tape drive, but the tape drive now is known as /dev/nst1.

I did have some issues with my autoloader script (mainly since I normally want to power off the loader while it's not in use, so the power cycling had to be put into run before / run after scripts), which eventually caused autoloader errors (mechanical positioning error and such). These errors, in turn, appear to block the bacula-sd from accessing the drive. Issue a "status sd" command in bconsole, and have a look a the drive status.

Is this correct ? Yes. Though pruning takes only place if a job using the pool in question is actually run, so you *can* see data in the catalog that is beyond its retention times.

Also, if this only happens for this one job, that indicates a more serious problem. Have you checked that the database is usable and what else happens there while the job in question runs? You don't tell us which database you use - with MySQL, 'mysqladmin processlist' will give you something useful, perhaps. > I've read it could be the amount of data I'm backing up but > this has been working fine till 3 weeks ago.

There is no other related data for these jobs.
I made a mistake though: you need
delete from job where type in ('R') ...
to delete restore jobs. Type 'V' is verify and type 'D' is admin.

I have a similar problem with postgres; the catalog database is now so large that restoring it from a pg_dump backup takes 3-4 hours. This is before you account for the length of time taken to read it from the tape. In a DR scenario, that's 3-4 hours sitting there twiddling your thumbs waiting for the catalog to come back so you can do some useful restores. My solution so far has been to script a database sync and LVM snapshot of the volume on which the database resides, and then backup the snapshot. In theory at least, restoring the snapshot should give me the underlying files back and it's undergone no worse than a system crash. Provided things like wal_sync are enabled, everything should be OK. All my testing indicates that this should work but I'm a little nervous as it's far from a properly supported solution.

[Bacula-users] Bacula restore strange error.
Hi,
I'm using a LTO-4 autochanger with a bacula-sd (v2.4.2) configured since
about one or two months with:
Maximum Block Size = 2097152
When I configured this setting I didn't get any SD or director warnings
or issues (or at least none that I could see).
Today I wanted to restore a full backup of a client that crashed hard.
I got the following error:
12-Nov 12:08 backup-sd JobId 2357: Ready to read from volume "ACM504L4"
on device "LTO4" (/dev/nst0).
12-Nov 12:08 backup-sd JobId 2357: Forward spacing Volume "ACM504L4" to
file:block 43:16.
12-Nov 12:09 backup-sd JobId 2357: Error: block.c:290 Volume data error
at 43:16! Block length 2097152 is insane (too large), probably due to a
bad archive.
Looking to block.c around line 290, I see:
/* Sanity check */
if (block_len > MAX_BLOCK_SIZE) {
dev->dev_errno = EIO;
MAX_BLOCK_SIZE is a constant whose value is: 1024*1024+1, which is
smaller than what I configured.
Is there really a limit on the maximum size of a block?
The documentation doesn't seem to say this.
Maybe some of the developper should change the documentation to indicate
that there is indeed a limit and check at sd start that the currently
given maximum block size is under this limit?
I can file a bug report if needed. Should I?
Anyway, I increased the value of this constant and I could restore this
full jobs without any issue (ok that wasn't so straightforward, but I
finally could restore the job).
Thanks,
--

[Bacula-users] Disk hash/catalog comparisons.
Bacula 2.4.1 I need to do a verify of the state of a filesystem at a particular date vs what's in there now, as some files have been overwritten with nulls whilst having their timestamps preserved (hardware problems). I've tried using "Verify Disk to Catalog", but this only seems to say if a file is newer/older than the Catalog entry, vs changed checksum (all backup sets have SHA1 checksums) Am I approaching this the wrong way or does bacula not currently have the capability of detecting changed checksums for backed up files?

Re: [Bacula-users] offsite backup question
Hi Berend,
I was thinking of doing it that way, a full backup for offsite followed by a
full to stay in the changer. It just seems a long way around it, a full backup
for each client takes 15 hours in total.
Thanks Kevin, but I thought I had already included that
"Add the option 'recycle current volume = yes' to the offsite pool"
with recycle = yes
I will run another full back locally and test a restore from local, then
restore from my offsite set.
Thanks,
John

Hey John,
I have a similar problem at the moment. The problem originates from the
fact that Bacula seems to be unable to seperate restore jobs based on
storage pools (so a system with files stored in multiple pools will
require volumes from all pools used).
As far as I know this is currently not solved - you might work around it
by making a full offsite backup followed by a full local backup: this
way both locations have a complete data set. But for my sake it is too
much work and takes too much space.
Bacula 3.0 will have Copy Jobs - a job type which copies backup jobs
between storage pools. I think that is great for getting the offsite
backups you and me want :-)

Berend Dekens

Re: [Bacula-users] offsite backup question
Hey John,
I have a similar problem at the moment. The problem originates from the
fact that Bacula seems to be unable to seperate restore jobs based on
storage pools (so a system with files stored in multiple pools will
require volumes from all pools used).
As far as I know this is currently not solved - you might work around it
by making a full offsite backup followed by a full local backup: this
way both locations have a complete data set. But for my sake it is too
much work and takes too much space.
Bacula 3.0 will have Copy Jobs - a job type which copies backup jobs
between storage pools. I think that is great for getting the offsite
backups you and me want :-)
Regards,
Berend Dekens

[Bacula-users] offsite backup question
Hi everyone,
I have been running nightly backups using a single pool of 19 volumes. The
schedule is for
Schedule {
Name = "WeeklyCycle"
Run = Full 1st sat at 23:05
Run = Differential 2nd-5th sat at 23:05
Run = Incremental mon-fri at 23:05
}
What i want to do is take tapes offsite once a month and what I did was to
create a new pool
Pool {
Name = Offsite_Backup
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 30 days # one year
Accept Any Volume = yes # write on any volume in the pool
Cleaning Prefix = LTC
}
then added 2 tapes to it and ran the jobs associated with each client
Job {
Name = "ie-serv-2_backup"
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = ie-serv-2-fd
FileSet = "ie-serv-2 Full Set"
Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
Storage = PV128T
Messages = Standard
Pool = Servers_Nightly
Priority = 10
Write Bootstrap = "/var/bacula/ie-serv-2.bsr"
}
modifying the Type to Full
This seemed fine and the usual scheduled backup ran as expected
So I removed the tapes for offsite, put the other 2 back in and restarted
bacula.
Tested a backup and it keeps asking for the two offsite tapes which is alright
now as I have them on my desk but how should I be doing this?
was thinking define another job for offsite with new bootstrap but then what
about the catalog I only have one, can I create another?
All comments welcome.
regard,
John

[Bacula-users] Don't understant recycling and Scratch pool
Hello, I have done several tests and I don't understand well the recycling to the Scratch pool. According to the documentation and my tests, the recycling occurs only when a job needs a tape and there is no one appendable in the pool. In this case, it will try to recycle a tape (from the same pool only !) I have never succeeded to have a tape recycled in the Scratch pool when all the retention periods had elapsed. Or maybe something is wrong with my configuration ? If for instance I have several tapes in a pool which are not Append and for which the retention periods (files/jobs/volumes) have elapsed, they will not be automatically recycled in the Scratch pool, to be reused by a job in another pool. Thx for your explanations ! - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
Re: [Bacula-users] Hung on "Dir inserting attributes"
Hello, The batch mode improve the speed with postgresql by a factor of 10 (maybe 20), using a very big job (15M files) with the standard mode won't work too. But, you will be able to cancel the job because the director checks the job status between each insertion. With the batch mode, you have a single query for 15M files. To stop the job, you can cancel the postgresql query with pg_cancel_backend() with your psql. The query will be canceled and the job will stop.

This can be done in your storage resource. Instead of using an IP address you may also use a hostname or fqdn. The rest is a bunch of dns-voodoo. In our case we just put the correct IP into /etc/hosts. We run the same sd in roundabout 20 VLANs these days using this technique. Whenever we set up a new client we add the correct VLAN-interface of the bacula-server to the clients /etc/hosts (for windows it's c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and works just as well).

Re: [Bacula-users] RunBeforeJob in background
Hi, Thanks for your answers. I've been doing a lot of tests. I have tried to catch the dump and I can see the progress while the dump runs. The problem is that Bacula still waiting for the dump finishes so when the job tries to read from the fifofile I've created the result is a message error: "Cannot open /tmp/fifofile: ERR=Interrupted system call." So the problem is not so much run the dump in background as bacula can read from the fifofile while the dump runs. How can I make bacula not to wait for the dump finishes?

Yes, but that relies on the job execution order to be predictable, which need not be the case with different priorities and so on, so I'd be careful with this approach. One other solution: For saving cyrus mailboxes, I create the dump of the mboxlist during the file system creation, which is done in a script. That's closely tied to the job execution, definitely runs before the job itself is started, and doesn't require a "Run Before Job" script, which, for several reasons, I want to avoid in this case. > Hope that helps, Hopefully...
