Re: [Bacula-users] PATCH: Allow Copy Jobs to work within one tape library.
Hello,

Hi.
A while ago I tried to set up a backup strategy where I defined three pools.
An incremental pool; a full backup pool; and a copy pool.
The idea was to run incremental backups forever (except for the first one
that would be promoted to a full).
Then at the end each week consolidate the incremental backups into a full
backup using a VirtualFull job.
Then take a copy of the full backup for off-site storage.
When using a tape library, I could achieve incremental and virtual full
backups okay.
But I could not run the Copy job because it refused to run, complaining that
the read storage is the same as the write storage.
I looked at the code for migrate.c and compared it to vbackup.c since both
have similar concepts.
I wanted to see why the virtual backup works and the copy won't.
I found identical code in both, except in the vbackup.c the particular check
that fails for migrate.c has been wrapped in #ifdef to remove it.
Also a FIXME comment is there saying that instead it should just verify that
the pools are different.
Below is a patch to migrate.c to do the same thing as vbackup.c does.
Is this a feasible patch?
Looks like it - if you tested it, and it works correctly. Don't forget
to test with only one drive available, in that case the job should
fail with a reasonable error message... and it might be better to
patch against the most current git version.
Would there be any chance of this working its way into the official Bacula
source? Or will it cause problems?
I suppose so. You should present the patch (which is *really* simply)
to bacula-devel, so the regular developers can think about it.
Actually, given the comments and the #ifdef situation, I assume the
idea was considered, tested, and then disabled for good reasons, but
with some discussion, and even a regression test (hint :-) Kern et al
might reconsider it.
I guess there might be some more work needed, but that's a discussion
for -devel.
Cheers,
Arno

It is complicated and messy with lots of work arounds for various scenarios.

Re: [Bacula-users] Feature Request: Allow schedule to override Next Pool.
Hello, 18.11.2009 07:32, Jim Barber wrote: Hi. When defining backup strategies, I've wanted to be able to define the 'Next Pool' in the Schedule to override the value defined against a pool. An interesting and valuable feature request. Can you reformat it to the shape found at http://www.bacula.org/en/?page=feature-request and re-submit it then? Kern will probably not even read through it in this form, and definitely not reformat it himself for inclusion into the feature request list. Cheers, Arno An example of one usage of such a feature follows: I have an incremental pool that each week gets consolidated into a full pool via a VirtualFull job. The 'Next Pool' directive of the incremental pool defines the location of the full pool. The following week, the next VirtualFull backup will run. It will read the previous full backups and incremental backups since then, to create new full backups. It is important that the VirtualFull backup does not try to write to the same tape that the previous weeks full backup wrote to and left in Append status. Otherwise you could end up with the one tape trying to be read and written and dead-lock. At the moment I have a hack to get around this. An admin job calls an external command that runs a SQL update to find any tapes in the full pool with an APPEND status and change it to USED. This runs after the full backups have been done. Instead I'd like to create two full pools. One for even weeks and one for odd weeks of the year. That way, even week virtual full backups could consolidate odd week virtual full backups with the latest incremental backups. And the odd week virtual full backups could consolidate the even week full backups with the latest incremental backups. The trouble is that the Incremental pool can only define one Next Pool. I can't have it toggle the Next Pool directive from odd to even, week to week. Unless I could override it from the schedule. Doing that would mean I could ditch my SQL hack to manipulate the tape status. It will also be less wasteful of tapes, since I won't have partially filled USED tapes throughout my library.

Failing that though I might have to stick with my 3.0.3 which is a download from the Bacula site with the Debian patches applied. Assuming I can't get the git version to compile as a Debian package, I could test my version with various scenarios. Then download the git source and look at migrate.c, make my changes and generate the patch from that. If it works in 3.0.3 then I guess it is likely to work in the git version as well...

19,243 | 14,399,178,034 | T |

Re: [Bacula-users] virtuafull and verify
What would be ok, since the idea behind the verify job is to verify the last
job...
Running a verify before the virtualfull would check the original job.
I just compiled it with the sql statement below. The verify just selected the
right jobid...

[Bacula-users] MTEOM Erros
The following is a message sent to the group on Wed, 26 Sep 2007 (I'm getting this via the web since this was sent before I joined the list, and started keeping my own copies of everything): Kern, I think I have found the cause of the MTEOM errors that I have been experiencing from time to time. These MTEOM errors are not caused by Bacula. In the past few months, I have rebooted my Quantum PX502 library a few times (once every two months or so) while a tape was mounted in the drive. This caused the HP (LTO-3 nFC) tape drive in the library to write an MTEOM marker to the mounted tape, which made it impossible for Bacula to write beyond that point (although reading was possible). Basically, Quantum told me to unmount the tape before I ever powercycle/reboot the library again. The tapes can be recovered by backing them up and reformatting them (to get rid of the MTEOM marker). Basically, my tapes that I thought were bad are actually recoverable. I was wondering how I format the tape. Was using mt -f /dev/nst0 erase supposed to be used? There was a reply to this from Kern mentioning that this would be added to the manual as a potential gotcha, but I have searched through them, and not found anything. Can anyone shed the missing piece of information? Thanks, Craig -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Why the location varies, I do not know. The .libs directory is the default location when building with libtool (for Bacula shared libraries). This is interesting. Please, can you elaborate? The libtool utility is a wrapper around compiling/linking/install to deal with portability for shared library naming. In the build tree, it puts all shared libraries and executables into subdirectories which are called .libs by default. It also creates a shell script for each executable, which sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH appropriately to make it work in the build tree. Note that this is only in the build tree. During make install, it installs the real libraries and binaries. My guess is that that some are not being linked with shared libraries for some reason, so Bacula is not using libtool and the real executable is built in src/qt-console/bat. It isn't clear to me why the location of the binaries matters, unless the Makefile is broken. It matters because building the FreeBSD port/packages needs to know where the binary is. Without knowing, you can't install it or build it into a package. OK, but I don't understand why. Normally, a port's Makefile (or bsd.port.mk) installs the software by running make install with the software's Makefile. The installed location should never have a .libs directory (it should only exist in the build tree). If the installed location has a .libs directory, then the software's Makefile is broken. It then builds the package from the installed files, so again there should be no .libs directory. __Martin -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

[Bacula-users] Newbie issue with AIT-3 (SDX700C)
I'm new to Bacula coming from and OLD version of Legato. I'm going to
be using an ADIC Scalar 100 w/4 SDX700C AIT-3 drives and all AIT-3 media
to backup several TB of data. I have poked around and do see others
using this drive type. I'm interested to see what settings others use
I got bacula and mtx installed and can drive the robot without issue. I
loaded slot 9 into drive 0 (rmt0 in my config below) and began the
Testing Your Tape Drive section. I performed the tar operation
against about 2GB of data with no issues or errors so I defined the
robot and tapes in the bacula-sd.conf file (below) but receive this
output. I did play with a few settings (Block Positioning, Min/Max
block) but it didn't seem to help:
r...@johnson:/opt/bacula/sbin# ./btape -c bacula-sd.conf /dev/rmt/0cbn
Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes.
btape: butil.c:285 Using device: /dev/rmt/0cbn for writing.

is Slot 9.

*test
=== Write, rewind, and re-read test ===
I'm going to write 1000 records and an EOF
then write 1000 records and an EOF, then rewind,
and re-read the data to verify that it is correct.
This is an *essential* feature ...
btape: btape.c:841 Wrote 1000 blocks of 64412 bytes.
btape: btape.c:515 Wrote 1 EOF to rmt0 (/dev/rmt/0cbn)
btape: btape.c:857 Wrote 1000 blocks of 64412 bytes.
btape: btape.c:515 Wrote 1 EOF to rmt0 (/dev/rmt/0cbn)
btape: btape.c:866 Rewind OK.
1000 blocks re-read correctly.

discarded.

*
Right now I have the configuration below (I have only included the 1st
device since that's what I'm trying to test, tapes 2,3,4 are duplicates
with appropriate changes). I removed the settings recommended in
testing because they didn't fix anything.

Hi.
Perhaps they were asking if Bacula can back up at the device level?
The documentation for the FileSet Resource states that if you explicitly
specify a block device such as /dev/hda1 in a FileSet then Bacula as of
version 1.28 will assume it is a raw partition to be backed up.
It also recommends that if you use this, that you specify sparse=yes
as well to only store the data in the partition, rather than the whole
partition byte for byte.
Example from the manual:
Include {
Options { signature=MD5; sparse=yes }
File = /dev/hd6
}
