Fatal error: File daemon at 192.168.0.13:9102rejected Hello command Hi does anyone have any news on this? If not, If a developer could contact me, I'm willing to lend out a test environment to get this possible bug fixed, getting full support for win2008 would be great, same with virtual environments (vmware in my case). So if you are a developer please contact me and I'll lend you a VPS with 2008 for testing.

I have the correct password etc as its not the same error message, does anyone know what this error means and how to fix it? I've googled it and there's not much info about it. Sounds like you had a too tight firewall in the client machine? Suspected that, but which type of package is the hello message, I suspect its not on a specific port. More like a echo request. I don't know the Bacula's protocol for sure, but I guess Hello is a token the director uses when trying to establish a connection with a file daemon that is expected to listen at the spesific port. Something similar like HELO / EHLO to port 25 when opening a connection to a mail server. The Bacula Developer Manual could be your friend to find it out more closely. Do you get the same error message if you turn off the file daemon (or disconnect the network cable or...)? If that's the case, it looks like now the director does not get any reply from the file daemon either, and it could be a firewall (or some other networking) issue. If your client is running on a virtual machine on vmware, is vmware set for bridged networking and the ip address belongs to the virtual machine alone? Have you tried to port scan that ip, is there anyone listening at all in the port 9102? - 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 - 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] schedule writing and spooling on different drives and spool directorys
Hi all, I have a Tapeloader with 2 drives and a backupserver with a huge spool directory. Now I thought it would be nice to schedule the different drives and the time when it spools to have allways a maximum on network load and keep the time which is needed for the backup as short as possible. For example: 1. Backup job1 starts spooling data from server1 to \serv\spool1 2. drive1 starts writing after job1 stops spooling. At the same time Backup job2 starts spooling data from server2 to \serv\spool2 3. When drive1 has finished writing, it starts with despooling. 4. When Job2 has finished spooling, it starts writing to tape2. At the same time job1 or another job starts spooling again At the moment the jobs can start parallel and they need to share the 1GB Network. After spooling, there is no more traffic on the network.. This seems to be inefficient ende?lp=endep=thMx..search=inefficient to me. Would this be a good solution and is this possible in bacula? What do you think?

Re: [Bacula-users] The number of files mismatch!
Hi Julien, this tapes were empty when I added the EOT. To explain: I made a full backup to tape mba022, added the EOT and wrote an inc in a different pool (for example tape mba056). This was working. The next inc to tape mba056 failed. Julien Cigar schrieb: You can switch EOT model only when starting from scratch with empty tapes, so that's normal ...

Might be. Currently I try to restart everything every day before the backup is supposed to start, and I have the impression that it fails less likely. I'll do this every day the next week, if backups run, then we know it is probably a caching problem. My other idea is to downgrade to a 2.2 release and to hope that the problem doesn't exist there.

Last friday i've changed the usb disk because was full.

In the scripts directory i've found same scripts like close_disk.sh, but I really don't know what they do and I don't want do a disaster Could someone let me know the steps to correctly change the usb disk?

[Bacula-users] Could not Stat errors
I running version 2.4.2 on the server side. I'm running client version 2.0.2 on Windows with Volume Shadow copy enabled. I've been noticing Could not stat errors on a random basis on random computers. 1. When I check the file systems on these computers the files exist and the permissions are normal. System has full control. The bacula client is running as a service. This is not indicative of a permissions problem. 2. There are no major issues after running chkdsk. Just a few entries in the MFT that need cleaned up. Par for the course on Windows XP after running a chkdsk on a healthy system. 3. No errors in the event logs indicating a problem with Volume Shadow copy. 4. There are no errors in the event logs indicating bad sectors. 5. I see no event log entries from bacula-fd in the Application Log during the time the backup is running. 5. I thought maybe there was some sort of Disk I/O contention which I could see happening if a virus scan is running but the logs indicate that a full virus scan is not running while the backup is occurring. 6. If I re-run a full backup on the computers throwing the errors they do not repeat the second time around. I did notice that bacula throws an error when I attempt to stop the service: Event Type: Error Event Source: Bacula-fd Event Category: None Event ID: 0 Date: 12/9/2008 Time: 11:32:57 AM User: N/A Computer: hostname.removed Description: The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( Bacula-fd ) cannot be found.

[Bacula-users] Time for change
Hello, I am currently running Ubuntu. The bacula director and sd are on this box. I have bacula configured to spool to this box, and then it goes directly to tape. I want to change how I am backing up. I would like to have some period of time of disk backups, and have them moved/migrated/copied to tape. Should I consider linux software raid. or use a hardware raid adapter? If software does the cpu choice have much of an impact? I am thinking of configuring the disk as follows: One OS and database disk, maybe a mirror Two disks in raid 0 for spooling, and recovering Three or more disks in raid 5 for the sd storage.

Re: [Bacula-users] Time for change
Normally I would say, 1) Performance generally ie cpu hit is not a huge issue IMHO, especially with todays dual and quad core cpus...and of course ram is dirt cheap. 2) For me the big issues is Ive lost software raid sets from power failures for a backup partition that's probably no biggeeunless of course your data partition and your backup partition are both software raided...and you loose both at once... From whats posted the backup system is seperate from the production servers, in which case software raid would be fine IMHO. If its lost, the data should be available on tape and on the production serversthe proviso is that you backup to disk overnight and then immediately spool to tape..which could be during the day. regards Steven Jeff Kalchik wrote: Hello, I am currently running Ubuntu.

Re: [Bacula-users] Time for change
So what do you think a reasonable cpu for bacula would be? Depends on what level of performance you are looking for. My director is a 2 processor 2GHz opteron machine (circa 2003) with 4 GB of memory and 18 or so x 250 GB SATA 1 drives in raid 6. My main storage daemon is on a second machine with the same cpus and ram but only 5 x 250 GB SATA drives and the storage is a 2 drive x 24 slot LTO 2 autochanger. Right now the bacula database is on that machine but it has been on yet another machine. On top of that a typical SATA fileserver will be a desktop class 2.5GHz Athlon X2 with 4 or 8GB of memory and 5 to 10 750 GB Segate SATA2 drives in raid 6 using mostly the motherboard sata ports. This type of machine will net 300MB/s writes and even higher reads in xfs. At 300 MB/s writes the cpu usage never goes above 7% for the raid under normal conditions. Replacing a drive will make it go to around 20% of 1 cpu until the drive is re synced. -- John M. Drescher -- SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Re: [Bacula-users] Please mount volume
Might be. Currently I try to restart everything every day before the backup is supposed to start, and I have the impression that it fails less likely. Today I restarted my server completely and the tape didn't get mounted either. I've tried (in bconsole) : update slots mount (then I choose Autochanger, then slot 1 (where the tape resides)): 2: Autochanger Select Storage resource (1-2): 2 Enter autochanger slot: 1 3001 OK mount. Device=AIT4-1 (/dev/nst0) The tape remained in slot 1 (i've checked the status seperately with: # mtx -f /dev/sg0 status to be sure. Then, on the command prompt, I manually entered the command: # /usr/local/bacula/etc/mtx-changer /dev/sg0 load 1 /dev/nst0 0 The tape got loaded, I've tried the command 'mount' in Bacula again, and bacula started writing to the tape. Before this command, the tape wasn't accessed or used at all so it can't be that the tape was busy. Also, in my mtx-changer script i've put sleep 60 everywhere now to ensure that a busy drive can't make problems (which was my first thought). So it looks there is a bug in Bacula, on some condition, Bacula doesn't execute the mtx-changer command. The only problem is to find on which condition, because sometimes the backup just runs fine... The first thing I'll do now is to let the mtx-changer program write a timestamp to a file, so I know for sure the mtx-changer program doesn't get executed at all, before I post this to the bacula-bugs database.

Re: [Bacula-users] volume management on a storage File
prune The Prune command allows you to safely remove expired database records from Jobs and Volumes. This command works only on the Catalog database and does not affect data written to Volumes. In all cases, the Prune command applies a retention period to the specified records. You can Prune expired File entries from Job records; you can Prune expired Job records from the database, and you can Prune both expired Job and File records from specified Volumes. prune files—jobs—volume client=client-name volume=volumename For a Volume to be pruned, the VolStatus must be Full, Used, or Append, otherwise the pruning will not take place. purge The Purge command will delete associated Catalog database records from Jobs and Volumes without considering the retention period. Purge works only on the Catalog database and does not affect data written to Volumes. This command can be dangerous because you can delete catalog records associated with current backups of files, and we recommend that you do not use it unless you know what you are doing. The permitted forms of purge are: purge files jobid=jobid—job=job-name—client=clientname purge jobs client=client-name (of all jobs) purge volume—volume=vol-name (of all jobs) For the purge command to work on Volume Catalog database records the VolStatus must be Append, Full, Used, or Error. The actual data written to the Volume will be unaffected by this command. Afterwards, delete the actual physical file if you need to recover the disk space. Can you guys give me an example on how to do this. My full backup on a new volume is done. now I would like to delete either everything older then december 1st or if I can't then the whole old volume. 1. How can I find out what is the VolStatus ? what command gives me that? 2. I have to switch it to full, how can i do that? 3. Do I have any options to delete actual files from the volume aka. anything older then dec. 1st delete files and catalog data?

[Bacula-users] Postgres functions for interpreting the bacula LStat column
I was looking into making queries for a particular file in a Bacula Postgres database, and came up with the attached functions. If someone really wanted to do searches by other attributes, it would be simple to follow the same pattern. With the functions and functional indexes, a query like SELECT bacula_lstat_mtime(lstat),path.path,filename.name FROM file INNER JOIN path ON file.pathid=path.pathid \ INNER JOIN filename ON file.filenameid=filename.filenameid WHERE bacula_lstat_mtime(lstat)'2009-12-05 13:55' ORDER BY bacula_lstat_mtime(lstat) DESC LIMIT 15 is really fast. -- DLL pgbacula.sql Description: Binary data Makefile Description: Binary data pgbacula.c Description: Binary data -- SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I want to change how I am backing up. I would like to have some period of time of disk backups, and have them moved/migrated/copied to tape. Should I consider linux software raid. or use a hardware raid adapter? If software does the cpu choice have much of an impact? I am thinking of configuring the disk as follows: One OS and database disk, maybe a mirror Two disks in raid 0 for spooling, and recovering Three or more disks in raid 5 for the sd storage. Thoughts or comments on this? *NEVER* use software RAID if you can avoid it. Software RAID puts a pretty good hit right on your CPU. Perhaps this applies to some versions of RAID and some implementations of software RAID. It certainly does not apply to simple RAID (such as RAID-1) and fine implementations of software such as FreeBSD's gmirror. I use gmirror on all my machines at home. That said, I also have hardware RAID-1. -- SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The future of the web can't happen without you.
