Well, in this case, bug is a subjective term. Everything is working as designed.

Re: [Bacula-users] Windows 2008/Vista 64 bit bacula
Oh yes, that was me. Ultimately, it's a bug in bacula; it has some inconsistent default values: by default, the director tries to connect on IPv6 when the machine has an record listed. But the FD does not listen on IPv6 (in Linux, you can turn it on to make it work, in Windows, IPv6 is not yet implemented in the FD). With the Windows firewall turned on, this leads to a timeout. With the Windows firewall turned off, bacula finds out about the failure of the IPv6 connection quickly, and switches to IPv4. Four workarounds: - Turn off the Windows firewall. That will at least verify that we are looking at the same problem. - create alternate DNS name for the client that has just an A record but no record. - use the IPv4 address instead of a DNS name in the director's Client resource. - turn off IPv6 everywhere. My problem also was on 64-bit Windows. I didn't check to see if the firewall on 32 bit had the same problem. > -Original Message- > From: Bruno Friedmann [mailto:br...@ioda-net.ch] > Sent: Saturday, January 02, 2010 1:16 PM > To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Windows 2008/Vista 64 bit bacula > > There was a thread some week ago (two or three) about firewall in > windows64bits > which cause trouble (also related to ipv6) > > I think you can find some info by searching the ML. > Sorry to not be more precise. > > On 12/31/2009 11:03 AM, Carlo Filippetto wrote: > > Hi, > > there are 2 different clients in the 3.0.3, one for 64bit and one for > 32bit. > > (good for Winzoz 2008). > > I have both, and they work well with VSS.. > > > > The problem that I have, and I'm trying to torubleshoot is that the > 64bit > > fail in full backup after some hours of work, instead if I tried to > run a > > little job it works fine. > > > > The 32bit work always well > > > > CIAO > > > > 2009/12/30 Firestrm > > > >> > >> What version of the client are you running?

[Bacula-users] Backup/Delete/Restore & subsequent backups
I've been diving into Bacula the past 2-3 weeks to come up with a backup
system here for some small server count but very large data store sizes
(30+TiB per server).
In the coarse of my testing I have noticed something and want to know if
it's by design (in which case it would be very wasteful of tapes); a
misconfiguration on my part (possible as I said I've only been playing
with it for the past 2-3 weeks), or a bug.
Ok, what I'm seeing is that I do a full backup of the client machine,
that runs well; I then delete an entire subdirectory say
/var/ftp/{DIRA} which has say 10,000 files or about 1TiB or data. I
then do a restore of that directory from tape (last backup was a
full). Now I am seeing that the next incremental I do has the full
/var/ftp/{DIRA} being backed up again as if it were all new files,
likewise a differential will also back up this directory in full again
as well.In my mind at least since this directory was in the full
backup and I have accurate mode on, the backup system should KNOW that
the files are already on tape (the full backup that was used to do the
restore) and should only back up /NEW/ files added to that directory
since that last backup not the entire directory structure after a restore.
Can anyone comment?
Thanks.
Steve

First of all, check that bwx-console is actually using the config file you have created (if you're starting the console through a shortcut, open the shortcut's properties and look at the -c option given on the commandline). If the right config file (with a correct configuration) is being used and the client is working, I can only suggest to take another look at your firewalls. Keep in mind that console and client (fd) connections are established in opposite directions (i.e. console=>director vs director=>client).

[Bacula-users] bwx-console question.
I am running bacula 3.0.3, the server on fedora 12 (64-bit) and on Windows Vista a bacula 3.0.3 client. I have no problem with backups and restores and all commands on the server work correctly. But when executing bwx-console on Vista it's unable to connect to the director. I believe I've configured it correctly (identical to BAT) and opened the various firewalls. I wonder whether I've missed something.

[Bacula-users] Auto-deleting purged volumes
I have a disk-based backup setup that uses dated volumes which are used for a 23-hour period then marked 'used', so that I can be certain a particular day's backups are contained in a single file. They are of course purged after their retention time expires, at which time they are moved to the Scratch pool. What I would LIKE to happen next is to have these purged volumes automatically deleted both from the catalog AND from disk. Has anyone else already implemented a solution to this problem? I'd sooner not reinvent the wheel if there's a perfectly good existing solution out there. -- Phil Stracchino, CDK#2 DoD#299792458 ICBM: 43.5607, -71.355 ala...@caerllewys.net ala...@metrocast.net p...@co.ordinate.org Renaissance Man, Unix ronin, Perl hacker, Free Stater It's not the years, it's the mileage. -- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
[Bacula-users] Documentation and translations
Hello, The other day, Eric pointed out to me that some of the manuals that we have posted in different languages are quite out of date -- in fact, the partial French translation apparently dates from version 1.38. As a consequence, starting with a few days ago with what is currently the development version 3.1.8, which will be released as version 5.0.0 sometime probably in January, I have reset all the foreign translations of the manual (French, Spanish, and German) to be identical to the current English manual. As we go forward, it would be really nice to have up to date translations. However, it is a lot of work. With the new git repo, it is much easier to maintain several versions of the manual and quite easily upload them, and going foward, we will maintain old versions of the manual in separate links on the web site. If any of you would like to start working on the previous translations to bring them up to date, it would be great. The only requirement would be to translate a whole chapter at a time. Once that is done, it is relatively easy to post it. If any of you want to checkout a version of the manual that has the old translations (it might be easier to start from an old one than starting from nothing), you can checkout the repo, then checkout a branch from the tag "Reset-translations", and you will have what existed prior to me copying the English over all the translations. Please note, there was a major re-organization of the manuals in version 3.0.0, and since then, I have re-organized them again in 3.1.8. Although there will be additional changes to the English version of the manual prior to release, there will not be any more major re-organizations until after the next major release. I hope you all had a great holiday season and survived seeing the New Year in ...

Indeed. In our case, restored files were being incorrectly given the "hidden" attribute. We also found that the file daemon was crashing during restores with file relocation.
