Turn off software compression and see if that helps. Also maybe turn
on attribute spooling.

[Bacula-users] Bacula performance
Hello,
I am new to Bacula and so far i really like it.
I am testing Bacula and at the moment i am trying to backup to disk. Everything
seems to be working fine except that the file transfers from the client to the
server are not very fast.
The server's interface is a 2Gbps card, the client's is 10/100mbps, the ports
on the switch where they both connect is 10/100 so i know i am not going to get
anything faster than 100mbps. However, i am not getting anywhere near that.
I found out i was using the default "Maximum Network Buffer Size" so i changed
that to 100mbps or 13107200 bytes, however, when the backup runs it only gets
to 1489510.4 bytes per second. If i copy the same amount of data between the
same server using "scp" i get 11MB/s.
Is there anything i can check...?

Hello, Is is possible to have all the clients save their backups to their local drive (full, incremental, differential) and then back up those client backups to the server? Can i do this from one remote director? Or will every client have to be the director, storage and client? I think that this way if something happens to the network/server/storage/tapes at least the backups still happening.

On some systems, (BSD?) slot numbers are expected to begin at zero.
Bacula (and Linux) expect slot numbers to begin at one. When Bacula
sends a command to the autochanger to load slot 1, it is expecting the
first slot to be loaded. But on systems that number from zero, when you
use mtx to load slot 1 it will actually load the second slot. This can
be worked around by changing your autochanger script to subtract 1 from
the slot number on a load command and add 1 to slot numbers for the
loaded and list commands.
I am running linux, but this sounds like it would fix the problem. It
isn't clear to me what to change. Here is the relevant bit from my
script (3 is the input argument for slots). I don't think I can just
change the setup argument to slot=$3+1, but not entirely sure why not:

[Bacula-users] issue with "delete pool"
When deleting a pool via bconsole, the volumes of that pool still exists in filesystem but are not known anymore to the director and needs to be deleted manually. When I use the label command: Connecting to Storage daemon daily_storage at 192.168.2.211:9103 ... Sending label command for Volume "" Slot 0 ... 3920 Cannot label Volume because it is already labeled: "" Label command failed for Volume . I wonder if this is by design?

Re: [Bacula-users] Upgrading Bacula
Thanks to all for your responses. I found the database table upgrade scripts in the source tree under updatedb. There I found the update_mysql_tables_10_to_11 which then allowed me to run the update_mysql_tables under the install directory. All of the daemons are up and running. My client machines are still running 2.2.5 which I will be upgrading soon but the server seems to be communicating fine with them. I tested the connections using the "status" command in bconsole.

[Bacula-users] Upgrading Bacula
I've been using Bacula 2.2.5 as my primary backup software for several years now and am very happy. As we move to newer version of our linux operating system I'm having issues with the client so I've decided it's about time to upgrade. My plan is to upgrade to the latest stable version 5.0.2. I'm concerned about upgrading the database tables. I'm using MySql. I know there is a script to upgrade the tables in my database but the comments in the script talk about upgrading from 3.0 to 5.0. Can I just run this script or should I download a previous version of bacula, say 3.0.x, and run that database table upgrade script first? Thanks for the help.

Bacula (and Linux) expect slot numbers to begin at one. When Bacula sends a command to the autochanger to load slot 1, it is expecting the first slot to be loaded. But on systems that number from zero, when you use mtx to load slot 1 it will actually load the second slot. This can be worked around by changing your autochanger script to subtract 1 from the slot number on a load command and add 1 to slot numbers for the loaded and list commands. > *messages > 03-Aug 18:14 billie-sd JobId 1728: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded? > drive 0" command. > 03-Aug 18:14 billie-sd JobId 1728: 3302 Autochanger "loaded? drive 0", > result: nothing loaded. > 03-Aug 18:14 billie-sd JobId 1728: 3304 Issuing autochanger "load slot > 3, drive 0" command. > * > 03-Aug 18:15 billie-sd JobId 1728: 3305 Autochanger "load slot 3, drive > 0", status is OK. > * > 03-Aug 18:15 billie-sd JobId 1728: Warning: Director wanted Volume > "A005". > Current Volume "B005" not acceptable because: > 1998 Volume "B005" status is Full, not in Pool. > 03-Aug 18:15 billie-sd JobId 1728: Please mount Volume "A005" or > label a new one for: > Job: NightlySave.2010-08-01_01.05.00.32 > Storage: "Drive-1" (/dev/nst0) > Pool: Daily > Media type: VXA-2 > *exit > billie:~# mtx -f /dev/sg2 status > Storage Changer /dev/sg2:1 Drives, 10 Slots ( 0 Import/Export ) > Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 2 Loaded):VolumeTag = > B005 > Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=A006 > > Storage Element 2:Empty:VolumeTag= > > Storage Element 3:Full :VolumeTag=A005 > > Storage Element 4:Full :VolumeTag=A004 > > Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag=B004 > > Storage Element 6:Full :VolumeTag=C005 > > Storage Element 7:Full :VolumeTag=A007 > > Storage Element 8:Full :VolumeTag=C006 > > Storage Element 9:Full :VolumeTag=A010 > > Storage Element 10:Full :VolumeTag=CLNA0001 > > Any ideas what is going on or how to fix it? > > thanks, > maria > > -- > The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the > Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share > of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.

[Bacula-users] Bacula Autochanger Questions
Hi rory
Thanks for your prompt response. I looked at the link you just provided when I
was setting up Bacula. Just a bit more information, when I was labelling the
volumes, Bacula was not auto-labelling any of the tapes so I had to simulate
the barcodes by following the steps in "Simulating Barcodes in your
Autochanger" in the link you provided. My volumes are listed as Volume1,
Volume2, Volume3 ... Volume8 now. Please forgive my ignorance on the subject,
because I could write to a specific volume I assume labelling this way is
correct?
I am not really getting any changer command errors I suspect I have missed
something in the bacula-dir.conf file (perhaps the volume retention period?).

Did you change the pool definition after you added the volumes? Did
you change bacula-dir.conf without issuing the reload command in a
bacula console?

[Bacula-users] Bacula Autochanger Questions
Hi Guys, I am new to Bacula and an average Linux user. I am trying to setup Bacula to work with our HP LTO4 Autochanger (7 slots + 1 mail slot). I have managed to label all the tapes and I can see all the volumes listed via bconsole. The problem I am having is Auto-rotating the tapes. Right now when a tape gets filled all the jobs either go into a pending state or fail. Ideally I would want a tape to be used per day (so 5 tapes for Monday - Friday) using incremental backups and a full backup on Saturday. After every successful back up I want the tape to be ejected to the mail slot to be take off site. Does anyone have any example configurations that I could use. Do I need to provide my bacula-dir.conf here? I have been struggling to make this work for weeks any help would be appreciated.

Can restores run off marked columns in database tables?

Re: [Bacula-users] Problem with Volumes
The problem is that!
I have head made 5 volumes, I don't let Bacula to create them, I wold like
that every single volume contains only a 'daily' backup... In this
installation I have only 12 client, and I want that all the backup of this
night will go into that single volumes...
The retention period is for recicle the volumes, I create 5 volumes to cover
from monday to wednesday, in the week-and will run the weekly jobs. The
retention is to let the volume recicle the next week
I tried to use
Volume Use Duration = 23h
but it don't work as I would like...
In this page
http://www.bacula.org/fr/dev-manual/Basic_Volume_Management.html#DiskChapter
I can read this:
-
Pool {
Name = File
Pool Type = Backup
Volume Use Duration = 23h
}
then if you run a backup once a day (every 24 hours), Bacula will use a new
Volume for each backup, because each Volume it writes can only be used for
23 hours after the first write
-
Wh it don't work for me?
