Re: [Bacula-users] Windows registry restore possible?

Is it possible to restore just the registry without restoring the entire backup? To restore the hives you'd have to boot a different Windows install with the Bacula agent running and the disks for the win2k3 server attached. You can't restore onto the 2k3 machine's registry hivesbecause they're read-only to applications while the OS is using them. You *may* be able to restore them to an alternate location on the running server's disks, then reboot into the recovery console and move them into place, though. Honestly, you're probably better off restoring your disk-image backup of the server then updating the user data from your backups. That's usually by far the easiest way to repair a dead Windows server. ( Please don't say what disk-image backups? You're running Windows servers, so you must keep some kind of disk image backup of the OS install... ) Looking at MSDN, it appears that Bacula may have to explicitly support the VSS registry writer to do registry backups. See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384595%28VS.85%29.aspx OTOH, since the default paths appear to be under \Windows\System32\config\, then with vss enabled it may be that the hives can be automatically backed up. If you've excluded that directory, you're almost certainly out of luck. Check the registry key mentioned above to see if that's where the hives are saved by VSS - if it's a different location you could be lucky. Even if it is, restoring the hives could be ... interesting. See the MSDN article referenced. Maybe it's easier with the recovery console. Ugh. Reading this stuff, I'm beginning to feel sorry I recently bought a Win2k8 server. Still, it was that or an Apple XServe to replace the destroyed-by-water old XServe, and unlike Apple at least Microsoft fixes bugs faster than they introduce them. -- Craig Ringer Tech-related writing: http://soapyfrogs.blogspot.com/ -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

IMHO the VSS Writer loglines just mean that the Service xyz was informed about a snapshot that will happen so that Service xyz can get into a consitent state on disk. this does not mean that anything is written an tape/volume. Right, for W2K3 use ntbackup (heard it was not in W2K8 anymore, anyone know the replacement?) to back up the system state, which should include registry files. For this I added in my job definitions: ClientRunBeforeJob = if [%l]==[Full] (ntbackup backup systemstate /F c:\\systemstate.bkf) ClientRunAfterJob = del c:\\systemstate.bkf ClientRunAfterJob = del \c:\\Documents and Settings\\Default User\\Local Settings\\Application Data\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\NTBackup\\data\\backup*.log\ This runs the commands on the server and does a compare, if backup level is full then does an ntbackup (so not on 'incremental==full' etc.) and deletes the temp files afterward (systemstate is overwritten but it takes up space, logs keep piling up otherwise). You need to have a few hundred MB free on C: for the systemstate.bkf file and the full backups take a few minutes longer. -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

Interestingly the documentation regarding VSS restore of the registry says you should use MoveFileEx with a parameter of MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT to replace the registry hive with the restored file, but if you do that your system blows up, so don't do that :) James -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

[Bacula-users] label barcodes on Quantum Scalar i500
Hi, I have an IBM TS3310 (rebadged Quantum Scalar i500), however, I don't think your problem is specific to the hardware. First, can you make sure that your drive numbering is correct? Is drive 0 in fact /dev/nst0? On my systems, sometimes they get mapped differently on reboot because I'm not using permanent labels. So perhaps it is simply that mtx loads drive 0, but drive 0 is in fact /dev/nst4 or something. The 'label' command does nothing more than write a little bit of data to the tape, so you can execute all of the steps manually and see if they work, e.g. pick a slot, pick a drive, load a tape from that slot into that drive with mtx, then write a small bit of data using dd or tar or whatever, then rewind, eject unload with mt and/or mtx.

[Bacula-users] Restores when the files are not present in the catalog
Hello everybody,
today I had to make a full restore of a client. My backup policy says:
1) Make a full backup monthly.
2) Daily incrementals.
3) Every Sunday, run differential backups.
When I make a full restore, it starts with the last Full, then the
differential volumes follow and last, the incrementals.
Now the problem: The files corresponding to the full backup used for the
restoration were purged. And when I write done in the bconsole, it
does not appear in the list of requiered volumes. My question is: Are
the files backed up in the full volume actually restored?
This is an extract of the bconsole:
Building directory tree for JobId 26975 ... --- In this jobs
the Full volume was written
Building directory tree for JobId 27648 ...
Building directory tree for JobId 28138 ... ++
Building directory tree for JobId 28384 ...

Building directory tree for JobId 28618 ... +++
Building directory tree for JobId 28693 ...
[... output cut ]
$ done
Bootstrap records written to /var/lib/bacula//some-dir.restore.5.bsr
The job will require the following
Volume(s) Storage(s)SD Device(s)
===
-- Here there should be the Full Volume!
Server-Diff-0001 some-sd-disco FileStorage
Server-Diff-0002 some-sd-disco FileStorage

Server-Inc-0004 some-sd-disco FileStorage
Server-Diff-0003 some-sd-disco FileStorage
Server-Inc-0005 some-sd-disco FileStorage
Will Bacula restore the files stored in the Full volume, although that
volume is not listed above? If not, how can I restore those files?
What I've done is the following:
1) Restore only the Full volume. Bacula says there are no files in the
catalog and asks me if I want to restore everything. I said yes.
2) Restore the other volumes, in other job, to the same place.
Well, I hope you can understand my doubt! jeje.
Bye! And thanks!
