[Bacula-users] Job is not progressing - tape mounted
I am not sure why this job is not progressing. I have tried umount/mount and things don't progress. No messages from the console. I am not running concurrent jobs. Recent changes (week or so ago) include duplicate job control. Bacula 3.0.3 on FreeBSD 8.x client running now is also 3.0.3 on FreeBSD 8.x after a umount: Device status: Autochanger "DEC TL800" with devices: DEC TZ89 Device "DEC TZ89" is not open or does not exist.

I'm stupid... I have seen the "C:/", but as I'm used too see the root ("/") on linux I thought that it was the root for windows, but in the backup it is a normal directory on the "/" !!

With appropriate QoS rules on the border router of the site where the SD is, you should be able to get the backups using (say) 80% of the idle bandwidth without noticing a thing, especially on a 20mbit connection where the per-packet times are really small. If your border router isn't up to the task or if you really do want to clamp the SD traffic to a fixed rate, you should still be able to just do it on the SD too.

Re: [Bacula-users] Network transfer Speed
Gavin, Here is a quick summary. This is a single machine it is running file, storage and director daemon. The postgres database is on a separate machine. All services are communicating via IP not the loopback. There does not seem to be any difference in speed if I use loopback or IP. This is a dual quad core xeon with 4Gig of mem We have 8 SATA drives connected to a 3ware 9690SA-8I raid controller in a Raid-6 configuration. Card has 512M RAM and a battery backup unit. The issue I am running into is during a full backup I am getting around 9.5Meg/s vs. the 85Meg/s on a restore.

So what's puzzling here, is that the server is listening and even responding, yet it seems like it's hung on the response for some reason. That, or perhaps there's some communication problem in the package of bacula-console I'm working with, both in ressu's 3.0.2 and the original 2.4.4, with this director. I may have to go back to 2.4.4 sadly, if I can't fix this - which would bring several other bug investigations back to a standstill. I am currently using ressu's PPA on this .deb package. I will try to switch to the current unstable Ubuntu development repo's, see if maybe that package is happier, but, I still can't resist the urge to find out what's really going on here... -- Shawn Qureshi Artemide, Inc.

Everyone, Here is a little update. I finally after many months have been able to run my first restore. I started an 800G restore. Which is half of my 1.7TB backup. I ran iostat while it was restoring and was getting between 50 and 140 Meg/s. I would say the average is around 85Meg/s. This is performing a restore to the raid-6 array. Not sure if this information helps or hinders the issue at hand.

Re: [Bacula-users] Network transfer Speed
Steve, 1. I am seeing this performance when doing full backups. 2. I am not using software compression as the TL2000 provides hardware compression by default 3. The data is 1.7TB and is around 750 000 files. The actual directories have around 2.1 million files. (using regex to only backup the .wav files) 4.

My system uses a 3ware 9500 connected merely via 32-bit PCI, and I have a single separate spool drive connected via the motherboards SATA ports. My machine does have motherboard GigE, but as previously pointed out that shouldn't matter. Director, File Daemon, Storage Daemon and MySQL all reside on the same system. Just to reconfirm: * Is this the performance you see with full backups? (differentials and incrementals will always be slower, of course). * Are you avoiding using software compression? * Are the files from the raid array very small or with thousands of files per directory?

You didn't mention what speed your network connection is, but that's slow even for 10BaseT. I would expect to see at least about 800 KB/s on 10Mbit, or at least 6-8MB/s on 100MB, or at least 25-35MB/s on Gigabit (Yeah, I know Gigabit ought to be up around 80MB/s at least, but in practice I've yet to see anything manage it personally. I know it's possible, though.) I saw someone else mentioned this already, but yes, GZIP9 is the maximum, and that might actually be WHY the rate is slow. The higher you set the compression rate, the more time the program spends trying to cram more data into each packet before sending it. If the compression rate is high enough, it may actually take much more time to do the compression than is saved by sending less data. A stupid analogy: if bacula-fd is the shipping department of a company, "no compression" means the stuff (file data) being shipped is dumped into a box until it reaches the top, then the box is closed and sent on its way. Compression level 1 would be like pausing to press down on the stuff in the box once and then top off the extra space with a little bit more file data before sending it. Compression level 9 is like dumping the stuff in, smashing it down, dumping more in, smashing it down, dumping more in, jumping up and down on top of it, then recruiting some guys from the next department over to stand on top while you seal the box. The box ends up holding a lot more, but it takes so much longer to get the box ready to go that you end up not getting as much shipped out in the same amount of time. It can be even worse if the client machine is comparatively low in CPU power or is heavily loaded (e.g. an old Windows box running Symantec antivirus doing "active protection" and scanning every file that bacula tries to examine or send...). Unless space on the backup media or bandwidth usage are the biggest concerns, I tend to drop the compression all the way down to GZIP1-GZIP4, or turn it off altogether. On the other hand (or "other thread", as the case may be, looking at the discussion of bandwidth throttling), setting an unnecessarily high compression level might also be used as a crude way of limiting bandwidth usage if you don't care so much how long the backup actually takes. ( I'm hoping to someday see "LZMA1-LZMA9" or "XZ1-XZ9" compression options, too... ) -- Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

Re: [Bacula-users] Slow backup rate
Hi Carlo, for any modern hardware your rates sound low. Below is an example I get in my home system (Core2 Duo, 8GB memory, CentOS 5.4 Linux 64-bit), writing to external USB disk, with no compression. Backing up a local disk, catalog database on the same physical disk too (not an ideal combination). FD Files Written: 194,837 SD Files Written: 194,837 FD Bytes Written: 164,511,043,989 (164.5 GB) SD Bytes Written: 164,537,630,363 (164.5 GB) Rate: 24175.0 KB/s Software Compression: None AFAIK, the GZIP9 you are using is the heaviest compression, both in terms of expected ratio, and required cpu load. I think the Bacula documentation mentions that levels over 6 usually result in no significant improvent in ratio, but consume more cpu power. Incremental will be slower than full anyway. But since it's this much slower even in this speed class, makes me think the reason might be something else than compression. But since it shows very different compression ratio, it may also be because of compression / different type of the contents of the files included in the job in average. At first, try lowering the compression level, or totally disable it, to get a reference that helps you restrict the possible reasons to the low throughtput. A guess without knowing your system: if you have a Windows client with antivirus sw that handles every disk access, it could have a heavy impact on this too. -- TiN "Carlo Filippetto" kirjoitti viestissä news:8791c1920912090138l3afdd208t8ec71c4678b1f...@mail.gmail.com...

I'm not sure if Bacula has such a facility (I haven't noticed one), but a couple of options spring to mind: 1. If you have a firewall in between, can you throttle transfers on tcp port 9103? 2. If your FD runs linux, you could load and use the tcp_lp congestion control module. I haven't tested it particularly but the principal is that it works as a "bandwidth scavenger". It works out the minimum round trip time on a link and wherever it sees the real RTT go higher than that (indicating congestion) it backs off the congestion window, which slows down the transfer to relieve the congestion. Any other connection which needs the link should "win" the bandwidth in that instance. gavi...@ceartgoleor:~$ modinfo /lib/modules/2.6.31-16-generic/kernel/net/ipv4/tcp_lp.ko filename: /lib/modules/2.6.31-16-generic/kernel/net/ipv4/tcp_lp.ko description:TCP Low Priority license:GPL author: Wong Hoi Sing Edison, Hung Hing Lun Mike srcversion: 8BFC408F81AB96C2D21A317 depends: vermagic: 2.6.31-16-generic SMP mod_unload modversions 586 3. There are other tricks you can play such as trickle: http://www.tuxradar.com/content/control-your-bandwidth-trickle I guess you could put that in the init script for either the SD or FD, though it would affect all transfers for that instance which might not be what you want.

[Bacula-users] Rate limiting in bacula?
Dear All, Is it possible to rate limit how fast a backup is sent to the SD? I have three collocated boxes, and they all send data at about 100m/s! We're on a 20 meg line, so you can imagine what happens to the rest of our internet abilities when the backups are running. Any ideas on how to slow things down to a manageable pace? --- Kind Regards, Mr Gabriel -- Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
[Bacula-users] Possible to merge backups?
* I would like to merge backups with a "move" type of consolidation. Not a "copy". Is it possible? * If the above is not possible, can I choose which backups to be included in a Virtual Backup (Vbackup)? It seems like Vbackup only support to consolidate everything. Like having a chain of F+I+I+I+I and now want to consolidate the two first backups, F+I, so the chain will look like F+I+F+I+I+I. This makes it possible to remove the first F+I. Reason I want this is to reduce disk space usage. -- Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
