[Bacula-users] Occasional read error when labelling tapes in autochanger (Bacula 2.4.3 on SLES 10.1)
Hi, Firstly, thanks for Bacula - we have been using it on various environments for a number of years and it performs very well. I have most recently installed it on a machine running SuSE Linux Enterprise 10, patch-level 1. I downloaded the Bacula 2.4.3 source, added the 2.4.3-orphaned-jobs.patch and compiled using gcc 4.1.2. We are using the MySQL database backend (MySQL v5.0.26). Bacula is configured to use a HP Storageworks MSL2024 tape library / autochanger. I concluded all of the tests as described in the install document including using btape fill and btape auto to test. All completed without errors. Furthermore, I've conducted some test backups of the entire system without problems. I have encountered an error/warning while labelling tapes. I've been labelling all 24 tapes in the changer - the error only showed up around tape no. 8 and is as follows *label Automatically selected Storage: LTO-4 Enter new Volume name: weekly005 Enter slot (0 or Enter for none): 11 Defined Pools: 1: Nightly 2: Weekly 3: Archive Select the Pool (1-3): 2 Connecting to Storage daemon LTO-4 at manager1:9103 ...

The label operation seems to complete without problems (the tapes are correctly labelled) and subsequent backups work fine. But should I be concerned about this message or can I safely ignore it?

The label operation seems to complete without problems (the tapes are correctly labelled) and subsequent backups work fine. But should I be concerned about this message or can I safely ignore it? IIRC it's caused by Bacula trying to read the tape to see if it's already labelled prior to writing its own label. Obviously if the tape is new, there won't be anything on there. I've seen the exact same thing across two tape drives (and indeed types of tape media) for the last couple of years - it can safely be ignored. -- James Cort IT Manager U4EA Technologies Ltd. -- U4EA Technologies http://www.u4eatech.com - 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=100url=/ ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
Re: [Bacula-users] Ignore retention period
Thanks, I added it but am still worried. The retention is 3 months, but because I did a full backup most of the pool is full. Whats going to happen when the last tape fills? I know each one is not out of its retention period, but I want it to ask for tape 1.

What I really want is Bacula just to rotate through these in sequence and ask for tape 1 when tape 16 fills. I have set the pool size to 16 but realise there is a problem. If I set the retention too small it will keep asking for earlier tapes rather than the next numbered one. If I set it too high, none of the tapes will have expired - won't it ask me to label a new tape 17 when 16 fills? For this pool, I'd really like to know how to just ignore the retention periods. Thanks. Look in the docs, under Pool Resource. Look for something like Use Oldest Volume.

Re: [Bacula-users] DVD Media in Raw mode
My suggestion: Create a new type, called Raw or Rawdisk (Capitalization and hyphenization dont bother me now), for the simple reason that DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, Hard Drives, Floppy Drives (like the 120MB floppies, 250MB Iomega stuff, 2GB Jazz stuff, and others) will behave in the very same way. This way, you get to keep the existing DVD code (which is needed for legacy support anyways), and remove the word DVD from a method that can work on a multitude of devices. Evaldo John Drescher wrote: I am trying to make Bacula work with my DVD+RW and DVD-RAM media, as raw devices (similar to tape, but with random r/w support, Great idea. I'd like to see that as it would eliminate the need for volume part files and dvd-handler and growisofs. That part of Bacula is comparatively unstable, in my opinion. (And I wrote part of the code and helped design the concept...) If changes were made, I would hope that the old method would be available for write once media (DVD+-R).

[Bacula-users] ACLs don't get restored
Hello list,
I am trying to backup and restore files with acl set. But the restore
does not create the acl's.
Here is what I've got:
Bacula 2.4.2 as server and client.
I've put the following as file set:
FileSet {
Name = FullLinuxServer
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
compression = GZIP
aclsupport = yes
}
File = /
...
Is there anything else I need to set?
Thanks a lot
Wolfgang
