Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula Status report
Hello Kern, On 07/23/2010 05:54 PM, Kern Sibbald wrote: Hello, This is a sort of mini-Bacula status report on the following: 1. Next release 2. New release cycle 3. New bugs tracking database 4. New Bacula server (www.bacula.org) 5. New Bacula source distribution server 1. Next release: Before the end of August, we will be releasing the next version of Bacula -- version 5.0.3 which is a bug fix update to 5.0.2. This release is almost ready and the most recent code is in the SF bacula git repository under Branch-5.0 Thanks for that, and all the good works done, as usually. 2. New release cycle: The little code we currently have for the next major release is in the SF bacula git repository under Branch-5.1. We are considering to moving to a regular 6 month release cycle. The advantage of such a cycle is that it gets features out to you faster. The disadvantage is that it doesn't work so well in small projects like Bacula if there are not sufficient contributions. Such a release would consist of the following points: - A release every 6 months - The deadline is not absolute and could be extended to 9 months if there were insufficient new submissions. - There will be far fewer or no bug fix updates as they are not really needed if we can maintain a 6 month cycle. - Two months before the projected release we will decide if there are sufficient new features to release - The release count down will consist of 3 phases 1. We will add all new approved features The first 4 months after a release this phase will go into effect for the next release - 2. Only very small new features (a few lines) will be added Two months before the final release this phase will go into effect. Note, this phase can be delayed 3 months if insufficient new features are submitted 3. Only bug fixes This phase will go into effect one month before the release Under this scheme, we are currently in Phase 3 for the 5.0.3 release, and the next major release (5.2.0) would be made before mid-January 2011, and is currently under development in Branch-5.1 on Source Forge. I would appreciate comments on this proposed new deadline release cycle. If generally the 6 month schedule is used in FOSS project, I'm seeing more more exhausted users admin to always update. There's sometimes good reasons, sometimes not. following the adage : if it's not breaked, don't change it. I've no idea for Bacula is this would work. Bacula the backup stuff are long time cycles. So if a 6 months release cycle take place, a special attention is needed to permit easy migration/update from the 2 previous release ( 5.0.0 5.0.2 - 5.0.3 for example). Perhaps giving more importance (helping those who want to do that) to the regressing test installation. I also be interested in the cycle release you will have with Bacula-System's enterprise edition ? For example, I've one customers which doesn't want to change anything before a new server come. And it run the 1.38.11 version (1.38 do what it has to do : reliable backup and restore) I don't know how fragmented (in term of version running outside) is the bacula installed base is. And this quick release can raise this. But seeing new feature bug fixes coming out regularly, can also prove to outside how in wellness the project is and make some FOSS marketing about that. My last suggestion, is trying to find a way ( that's not so easy but who knows ) to have a maximum release made one or two month before the launch of big block distribution : giving time to packagers to include them inside their next release 3. New bugs tracking database Sometime in early August (possibly slightly before) we will be moving the current Mantis based bug tracking system to a new RT based system hosted by Bacula Systems. The upside is that the RT system is far more powerful, flexible and adaptible, and most important of all, it allows email responses to bugs. The downside is that it is a bit more complicated (as are most things that have more features) and that it will require everyone to re-register for the new system. In addition, if you don't want to rely on just the community to furnish bug fixes, you will be able to subscribe to a bug fix service that is more professional and has a guaranteed response time (not to be mistaken for a guaranteed fix time). More on this when the service is ready for production. joke What ? We need to recreate the account, this is a real pain :-) /joke 4. New Bacula server The current Bacula Community server is as you probably know generously offered by UKFast. However, the hardware is starting to age, so they have gratiously provided us with a new machine that we will be putting in place in the next few weeks. We don't expect that you will notice any differences, but the hardware running

You say Bacula fails to load. What version of Bacula? What errors
are you seeing?
Also, is it possible to change the filename of the volumes once the
jobs
they contain have been migrated off? This is because I'm attempting to
reclaim disk space, and I'll need to rename the volumes once they
become
empty so that I don't lose any viable data.
It is best to ask just one question per email.
Your premise makes no sense. Once the Volume is *empty*, it contains
no data.
Sorry for my bad English! *I should be ashamed, London, England born and
bred!* My migration jobs seem to all fail saying no files found to
migrate, even though I know 100% that the files are there.
Basically, I put together my bacula in a bit of a rush, and i now have
thousands of volumes populating my nas. I have configured a second
storage daemon,
NOTE: Migration is only implemented for a single Storage daemon. You
cannot read on one Storage daemon and write on another.
The same may apply to Job Copy as well. You may have to mount the
other NAS on the first SD.
At the following URL, read Important Migration Considerations slowly
and carefully.
http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/concepts/concepts/Migration_Copy.html
and i now wish to migrate the jobs of clients into
seperate pools. For example, I want to migrate all the completed jobs of
client1.domain.com to a new temporary pool for client1.
This way, I now have the whole backup history of client1 in one pool,
which I can now add proper retention times on, so that I have a
manageable amount of files.
At the end of this exercise, i should end up with all the jobs of
particular clients in separate pools.
I'm still trying to learn how bacula works properly, so please forgive
me if I don't fully understand everything.
That sounds reasonable.
I feel so stupid! Migration jobs cannot cross storage daemons? If I had
only known last week! Thank you for input, i'll retry with the disk
space on the same storage daemon and then try the migration jobs.

Now I wish to replace this tape with a new tape with new name. (As I feel, using new name would not make much difference or would it?). Please correct the proposed steps : Add new tape in the library. Move the tape and move it into one of the empty slots. Label the tape to the respective Volume Pool. Now please state the steps to purge the susepcted tape. I would like to transfer the data on this tape onto the new tape. As I do not wish to break the data consistency within the volume pool.

[Bacula-users] Some questions about migrating jobs to clone...
Im a realtive new user to bacula and want to setup following configuration:
A primary FileStorage where all my backup jobs are stored too full
incrementals..
Full backups are made once a week saturday night, then incs are runned
on defferent plans depending
of what data there is..
A secondary CloneStorage which is my LTO-2 tape.
This job should run at the begin of last sun of month at noon, a year
ago i had something like this
configuration for a job where i had to use an SQL query to get jobid's
to migrate:
Job {
Name = Clone - Latest FULL jobs
Type = migrate
Pool = Clone
Storage = FileStorage
Level = Full
Schedule = LastDayOfMonth
Messages = Standard
Client = Mac-mini-fd
FileSet = Home Directories
Selection Type = SQLQuery
Selection Pattern= SELECT MAX(jobid) FROM Job WHERE level='F' AND
Type='B' AND JobStatus='T' GROUP BY name ORDER BY RealEndTime;
}
Is this the way to go ?? or is there a newer functionality added for
this kind of operation ?

[Bacula-users] Variables in bacula
Hi to all.
I have a dsl connection with a dynamic ip and actually i'm resolving it with a
subdomain from no-ip but sometimes i get this error
gethostbyname() for host mydomain.zapto.org failed: ERR=Non-authoritative for
host not found, or ServerFail.
So i'm trying to change the way i get the ip for the Storage daemon by getting
my public ip with a shell script (ran before the job) and putting it in a
variable.
IP=`wget -q -O - checkip.dyndns.org|sed -e 's/.*Current IP Address://' -e
's/.*$//'`
The problem i have is how can bacula-dir.conf get the $IP variable?
i tried just this way but it doesn work
Storage {
Name = sxxx
Address = $IP
SDPort = 9103
Password = SHexZ8mwXW4YkbJgu2HpJloZfkuT5Pj5yyWLiPxBhoZy
device = dxxx
Media type = File
}
and then tried using brackets this way
Storage {

Address = {$IP}
SDPort = 9103
Password = SHexZ8mwXW4YkbJgu2HpJloZfkuT5Pj5yyWLiPxBhoZy

Well, that latter syntax would be wrong for shell expansion; it would be
${IP}, not {$IP}. But correct shell expansion is moot in the first
place because Bacula does not perform shell expansion when loading its
config files.
About the only practical way you can do this is to maintain a template
config, generate a live config by processing the template and
replacing the IP, then starting Bacula on the live config. So you'd do
something like this:
# bacula-dir.template
Storage {
Name = sxxx
Address = MYADDRESS
SDPort = 9103
Password = SHexZ8mwXW4YkbJgu2HpJloZfkuT5Pj5yyWLiPxBhoZy
device = dxxx
Media type = File
}
# prepscript
#!/bin/bash
IP=$(whatever means to get IP here)
cat bacula-dir.template | sed -e s/MYADDRESS/${IP}/ bacula-dir.conf
/etc/init.d/bacula start
This step could probably actually be incorporated into your Bacula
startup script.
You're also going to have to make your Director and your storage daemon
listen on both your internal address and your public IP, unless your
router is taking care of this via NAT.
All this said, I can't help but think there has to be an easier way to
do this, but it's hard to tell without knowing what your actual
infrastructure situation is. Do I understand correctly that you are
trying to make backups, over DSL, to a remote storage host on a
dynamic-IP connection somewhere off in the outside world? Or are you
trying to back up remote clients to a local storage daemon over a
dynamic-IP DSL connection? Either way seems likely to be both extremely
unreliable and, more likely than not, infeasibly slow.

Re: [Bacula-users] Variables in bacula
i'm doing backups of local and remote clients (the remote clients doesn't have
too much information so there is not a big problem doing that).
I have remember thah i had used the domain name for the storage because i had
used the same storage for all the clients (remote and local) but now i have a
storage for every client so i don't have this problem anymore and i can use the
local ip address for local backups which are the most important.
Thank you so much

Hi to all.

gethostbyname() for host mydomain.zapto.org failed:

So i'm trying to change the way i get the ip for the Storage daemon by
getting my public ip with a shell script (ran before the job) and
putting it in a variable.
IP=`wget -q -O - checkip.dyndns.org|sed -e 's/.*Current IP Address://'
-e 's/.*$//'`
The problem i have is how can bacula-dir.conf get the $IP variable?
i tried just this way but it doesn work
Storage {

Address = $IP
SDPort = 9103
Password = SHexZ8mwXW4YkbJgu2HpJloZfkuT5Pj5yyWLiPxBhoZy

SDPort = 9103
Password = SHexZ8mwXW4YkbJgu2HpJloZfkuT5Pj5yyWLiPxBhoZy

}
but looks like bacula thinks there finish the storage resource
Well, that latter syntax would be wrong for shell expansion; it would be
${IP}, not {$IP}. But correct shell expansion is moot in the first
place because Bacula does not perform shell expansion when loading its
config files.
About the only practical way you can do this is to maintain a template
config, generate a live config by processing the template and
replacing the IP, then starting Bacula on the live config. So you'd do
something like this:
# bacula-dir.template
Storage {
Name = sxxx
Address = MYADDRESS
SDPort = 9103
Password = SHexZ8mwXW4YkbJgu2HpJloZfkuT5Pj5yyWLiPxBhoZy
device = dxxx
Media type = File
}
# prepscript
#!/bin/bash
IP=$(whatever means to get IP here)
cat bacula-dir.template | sed -e s/MYADDRESS/${IP}/ bacula-dir.conf
/etc/init.d/bacula start
This step could probably actually be incorporated into your Bacula
startup script.
You're also going to have to make your Director and your storage daemon
listen on both your internal address and your public IP, unless your
router is taking care of this via NAT.
All this said, I can't help but think there has to be an easier way to
do this, but it's hard to tell without knowing what your actual
infrastructure situation is. Do I understand correctly that you are
trying to make backups, over DSL, to a remote storage host on a
dynamic-IP connection somewhere off in the outside world? Or are you
trying to back up remote clients to a local storage daemon over a
dynamic-IP DSL connection? Either way seems likely to be both extremely
unreliable and, more likely than not, infeasibly slow.

Would OpenVPN help here? That way, each remote client could have the
same IP address on the VPN. FYI, this is how I backup remote clients
even when they have static IP addresses.

[Bacula-users] recycling media for failed jobs
