[Bacula-users] disk full, need to reset and upgrade
Hi, I've been using bacula to backup remote hosts through ssh connection. It works well except that : - a lot of data is backed up on remote host uselessly (as log file ...) - I need to upgrade to bacula 3.x to have the exclude feature... but I'm running on ubuntu and would like to keep the apt-get update feature working for bacula - My hardrives are full. While I didn't have a NAS ready, I set the backup directory to /backup on my primary disks (raid1). I now have 2.7TB in Raid5 on a nas mounted in /mnt/backup What I would like is : - upgrade to v3 and backup only what is needed (with the exclude feature) - delete all existing backup in /backup (150GB) - start backing up on /mnt/backup my filesystem is almost full (96%) ...

Re: [Bacula-users] disk full, need to reset and upgrade
Hi Thomas,
there is an exclude feature in previous bacula versions as well. And
if you are talking about the new Exclude Dir Containing feature:
You can achieve the same behavior in 2.x versions of bacula with an
Exclude setting like this:
FileSet {
Name = MyFileSet
Include {
Options {
...
}
File = ...
}
Exclude {
File = \\|sh -c 'for D in / /var /home; do find $D -xdev -name
.BACULA_NO_BACKUP -type f -printf \%h\\n\; done | tee
/root/bacula_excluded_dirs.log'
}
}
You have to put the relevant filesystems into the list of the for-loop. In this
case all dirs containing a file .BACULA_NO_BACKUP within
the /, /var or /home filesystem will not be backed up. And you will find a list
of directories that have been excluded this way in
/root/bacula_excluded_dirs.log
I am using this mechanism since years and it works very well.

There is no need to upgrade to get that functionality. * delete all existing backup in /backup (150GB) * start backing up on /mnt/backup Why not just copy/move the data from /backup into /mnt/backup and then change your -sd configuration to point to /mnt/backup. That way you can keep all of your existing backups and get your setup correctly configured without too much disruption. Before you copy the data you should ensure that no backups are currently running and stop the -sd before moving the files. Once you have moved the files edit you bacula-sd.conf to point to the new location and restart the sd daemon. Regards Richard my filesystem is almost full (96%) ...

[Bacula-users] reversing order of contact?
Hi, I've wondered about why my clients won't back up, but think that I found the problem after reviewing this page: http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/What_is_Bacula.html#SECTION0022 The picture specifies that the client accesses the server to ship its data. This collides with my settings quite a bit because the director and storage server are behind a firewall, and cannot directly be accessed by the clients. What would work, however, is to tell the director/storage daemon(s) to contact the client, but offhand, I don't seem to figure out how to configure this. For me, the problem would be removed if I could have this SD - FD instead of FD - SD (as described on this page: http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Dealing_with_Firewalls.html). I'd like to know why the original desin decision was taken, as the client (FD) doesn't have any knowledge about where the storage server is, anyway, the director could imho equally well tell the storage daemon to talk to a certain client, than it could tell the client to talk to a certain storage server. Maybe I'm missing something... Kind regards, --Toni++ -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

[Bacula-users] yet another volume recycling issue
Hi,
I'm having the hardest time getting volumes to be recycled, under version
2.4.4-1 (Debian 5.0).
I feel like I have double-checked every item mentionned in chapters 22 and 23
(Automatic Volume Recycling / Basic Volume Management), have forced what seems
like all the relevant values with 'update media', and have changed many relevant
pool options. I've restarted the daemons, and the jobs after each change. Even
following the manual purging/recycling procedure did not change the software's
behaviour.
Every time, the storage daemon prints the message Cannot find any appendable
volumes. Please use the label command to create a new Volume.
I've been using Bacula for a couple of years, and I realize that I've never
gotten through a full yearly cycle before, because of having blanked all my
catalogs and volumes a few times before because I wasn't satisfied with my
setup. So I've never seen the volume recycling in action before.
Things are apparently not as simple as stated in the manual and in numerous
messages on the list. What might I be overlooking ?
Here are excerpts of my setup for the relevant pool :

Hi, I am having a really anonying bug with bacula. The log files are empty, the email notifications only have the subjet filled in, and running jobs on the console don't display anything. I don't believe having changed anything to the configuration when the logs disappeared (1st of august). At first I thought it was logrotate that rotated the log and left bacula writing to another file.

[Bacula-users] Running nightly regression scripts
Hello, If you are currently running nightly regression scripts for Bacula, I thank you very much because your test results help us find subtle OS dependent bugs. Due to the change from SVN to git, you will need to make some minor modifications to get the regression scripts running again. (Thanks to Frank Sweetser for making the svn to git regress patch). First ensure that git is installed on your machine. If you currently have the following directory structure for running the regression scripts: /bacula /regress Then please copy /regress/config to some temporary location, e.g. cp /regress/config /tmp/config then do the following, which will delete and replace your directory by the git version. rm -rf git clone git://bacula.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/bacula cp /tmp/config /regress/config where in each case, replace by the full path to directory containing bacula and regress. Once you have done the above, the regression scripts can be run exactly as they were before. In fact, if you have a cron job that does it, it should continue to work as before. Thanks for testing and sorry for the inconvenience. Best regards, Kern -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Hello folk,
We're primarily a 95% linux desktop and server environment, with
some Macs, but we have a couple of pain in the necks we need to back up
and I'm concerned about VSS. One is a Windows Server 2008 64-bit, and
another is Vista 64-bit. Some things back up fine, but, I get the
following VSS error on both jobs:

Jaunty amd64 server for director - which is also 2.4.4. I've found bits
and pieces out there about Oh blah blah x64 VSS support doesn't work

in later versions? Sorry if this is redundant.

Re: [Bacula-users] TLS negotiation failed with FD

What is the solution?
This is almost certainly happening because the CN in your certificate
for the FD did not match what you listed in the Address field for
the client stanza. In other words, if you had this stanza in the
director's config file:
Client {
Name = client.example.com-fd
Address = client.example.com
...
}
then the CN in the certificate used by the FD would need to be
client.example.com. I haven't tried it with an IP address in the
Address field or CN, so I don't know how that would affect things.
Hope that helps,
Hugh

Re: [Bacula-users] disk full, need to reset and upgrade
Hi Marc,
I've already tried something similar.
As the backup filesystem is remote (through ssh), before the execution of
the backup, I execute a remote script that list all directory to exclude,
then scp to the Director machine and do the job. (tech detail may be
inaccurate as it's off the top of my head)
but after a check it didn't work (all data were backup, excluded directory
too), and I didn't have time to work on it...
I'll try again tonight as it become urgent... ;o)
But I really need to reset bacula storage, set the save path to the NAS and
enable the recycling feature on the volume.
Thomas.

Hi Thomas,
there is an exclude feature in previous bacula versions as well. And
if you are talking about the new Exclude Dir Containing feature:
You can achieve the same behavior in 2.x versions of bacula with an
Exclude setting like this:
FileSet {
Name = MyFileSet
Include {
Options {
...
}
File = ...
}
Exclude {
File = \\|sh -c 'for D in / /var /home; do find $D -xdev -name
.BACULA_NO_BACKUP -type f -printf \%h\\n\; done | tee
/root/bacula_excluded_dirs.log'
}
}
You have to put the relevant filesystems into the list of the for-loop. In
this case all dirs containing a file .BACULA_NO_BACKUP within
the /, /var or /home filesystem will not be backed up. And you will find a
list of directories that have been excluded this way in
/root/bacula_excluded_dirs.log
I am using this mechanism since years and it works very well.

Hi,
I've been using bacula to backup remote hosts through ssh connection.
It works well except that :
- a lot of data is backed up on remote host uselessly (as log file
...)
- I need to upgrade to bacula 3.x to have the exclude feature... but
I'm
running on ubuntu and would like to keep the apt-get update feature
working
for bacula
- My hardrives are full. While I didn't have a NAS ready, I set the
backup directory to /backup on my primary disks (raid1).
I now have 2.7TB in Raid5 on a nas mounted in /mnt/backup
What I would like is :
- upgrade to v3 and backup only what is needed (with the exclude
feature)
- delete all existing backup in /backup (150GB)
- start backing up on /mnt/backup
my filesystem is almost full (96%) ...
Thanks for any help ;)
Thomas.

[Bacula-users] Catalog too big / not pruning?
Lately, I've been going though our file server looking for disk space to reclaim, and I've come across 14GB worth of data in the Postgres DB, used only by Bacula. Reading through the Bacula manual, I see that each file record is supposed to take up 154 bytes in the DB, so I have gone through the logs to see how many records should be saved, keying on FD Files Written. Our rotation: Level=Full Pool=Weekly sun at 2:00 Level=Differential Pool=Daily FullPool=Weekly mon-fri at 2:00 File and Job Retention is set to 5 weeks in the Client directives, Volume Retention is set to 5 weeks in the Pool directives. AutoPrune is set to Yes in both places. The exception is the Monthly pool, used by 2 clients (small): Level=Full Pool=Monthly 1st sun at 1:00 Level=Full Pool=Weekly 2nd-4th sun at 1:00 Level=Differential Pool=Daily FullPool=Weekly mon-fri at 2:00 For the Monthly pool, File Retention is set to 90d, and Job Retention is set to 1y in the Client directives, and Volume Retention is set to 1y in the pool. AutoPrune is set to Yes in the Client Directives, but had been set to No in the Pool, which was a red flag. I changed it to Yes, and restarted Bacula. The numbers: In the last 5 weeks, the sum of the backed up files to the Weekly and Daily pools is 3,588,224, and of the other two, 1 client backs up 2 files to the Monthly pool a month, and the other, consistently just under 6,640 files. So, if my catalog should have a total of 3,667,928 files in it (3,588,224 + (2*12) + (6,640 * 12)) * 154 bytes per file, the DB should be 564,860,912 bytes or 538MB? Made me either wonder where my math went wrong, or why my DB is so big. So, after running a full vacuum on the Postgres DB and only reclaiming 1GB of disk space, I started poking around in the DB itself (just looking). The most interesting thing I have found so far is a table named 'job', which seems to hold all the job records. And they go back to 2006 Example: bacula=# select * from job where starttime like '2006%'; jobid | job | name | type | level | clientid | jobstatus | schedtime | starttime | endtime | jobtdate | volsessionid | volsessiontime | jobfiles | jobbytes | joberrors | jobmissingfiles | poo lid | filesetid | purgedfiles | hasbase ---+-+-+--+---+--+ ---+-+-+-+ +--++--+---+---+-+ +---+-+- 272 | Mail_Data.2006-01-26_02.00.06 | Mail Data | B| D | | f | 2006-01-26 02:00:05 | 2006-01-26 02:08:49 | 2006-01-26 02:37:33 | 1138261053 |0 | 0 |0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | | 0 | 0 I thought I would then be clever, and in Bacula use the prune command for the old MailData job, one of the ones set to 5 weeks, but it didn't show up in the list because it was no longer a defined job resource; we don't run that particular job anymore, and haven't for months: thus there should be no jobs for 'MailData' in the catalog at all. Luckily, it was just commented out in bacula-dir.conf, so I uncommented it and restarted bacula. It then showed MailData, and said: Pruned 15 Jobs for client MailData from catalog.. Encouraged, I exited Bacula and checked the DB. They are all still there. Rinse and repeat. This time, Bacula says: No Jobs found to prune., so maybe it did get rid of a few of them after all. But the rest are sitting there derelict, just hogging space. So, why isn't my DB pruning itself? --Jeremy -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Re: [Bacula-users] VSS on Vista/Win2008 x64
Hello folk, We're primarily a 95% linux desktop and server environment, with some Macs, but we have a couple of pain in the necks we need to back up and I'm concerned about VSS. One is a Windows Server 2008 64-bit, and another is Vista 64-bit. Some things back up fine, but, I get the following VSS error on both jobs: Warning: VSS was not initialized properly. VSS support is disabled. ERR=An attempt was made to reference a token that does not exist. This using version 2.4.4 across the entire network, using Ubuntu Jaunty amd64 server for director - which is also 2.4.4. I've found bits and pieces out there about Oh blah blah x64 VSS support doesn't work with 32-bit whine whine - but, no resolutions - was this fixed already in later versions? Sorry if this is redundant. It doesn't seem to matter if I put Enable VSS = yes, or no - in this FileSet after the Name = field. Not sure about 2.4.x but 3.0.[012] has a 64 bit windows binary available which works fine for me with VSS on a Windows 2008 x64 server (two of them). The 64 bit windows binary is only the fd and it is a royal pain to install alongside the 32 bit sd and director on the same machine, but you just want to install the fd so you shouldn't have any problems at all. Uninstall the 32 bit version first though as it will get upset about the installation directories. I don't think it's recommended but I don't think you'll have any problems installing a 3.0.2 fd and using it with a 2.4.4 dir+sd.
