[Bacula-users] Bacula - Remotebackup - Internetconnection
Hey everybody, first: sorry, my english is sad. But I have a problem: The Director is up to us - the client is at the customer (2 separate networks). If the backup is running and the Internet connection is cut in between (24 or simply disconnect the connection breaks off only) does not recognize the Bacula. The job is not canceled, but it runs until it times out at some point. Is there a possibility, a timer or otherwise, that Bacula will continue to run correctly? Information: Director: Linux Debian Lenny (5) Bacula 2.2.4 Client: Windows Server 2003 R2 Bacula 2.2.4 Bacula is set up correctly, because the connection works and can copy small files smoothly. > german version > > wir benutzen Bacula v.2.2.4. > > Der Director liegt bei uns - der client liegt beim Kunden.(also 2 getrennte > Netze) > > Unser Problem: > Wenn die Sicherung läuft und die Internetverbindung zwischendurch gekappt > wird (24h disconnect oder einfach nur die Verbindung abbricht) erkennt das > Bacula nicht. > > Der Job wird nicht abgebrochen, sondern er läuft bis es irgendwann zum > Timeout kommt. > > Gibt es eine möglichkeit, über einen Timer oder sonst wie, dass Bacula > korrekt weiterlläuft? > > Infos: > Director: > Linux Debian Lenny (5) > Bacula 2.2.4 > > > Client: > Windows Server 2003 R2 > Bacula 2.2.4 > > > Bacula ist korrekt eingerichtet, weil die Connection klappt und sich kleine > Dateien reibungslos kopieren lassen. > > > Hat jemand eine Idee? > +-- |This was sent by christopher.il...@gg-net.de via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- -- Beautiful is writing same markup.

Aaah. The "other words" make more sense. :) You can delete any incremental job without affecting any other incremental. Doing so will lose the record of changes backed up in that incremental, though, as an incremental records only changes since the most recent backup of *any* level. So in your scenario above, if you delete incremental #3, then your next incremental #5 will back up only files changed since incremental #4; it will *not* re-backup the changes previously backed up as incremental #3. (For this reason among others, it is generally recommended to make periodic differential backups, which record all changes since the last Full backup, to reduce the number of incrementals needed for a restore. As an example, I perform Full backups once a month, Differential once a week, and Incremental every other night.) If you delete a Full backup, it will not upgrade any *existing* backup. However, if you delete *the most recent* Full backup, which has current Incrementals or Differentials based upon it, then the *next* Incremental or Differential that you run will be upgraded to Full. -- 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. -- Beautiful is writing same markup.

[Bacula-users] What happen if I delete a single incremental between the full and another incremental
Hi, I have an important question that will help me validating some specs about bacula 5.0.2 Imagine the following scenario: 1 - a full 2 - an incremental 3 - an incremental 4 - another incremental if I delete the incremental of step 3, does it move the files that have been added during step "3" onto the incremental of step "4" I have tried this scenario but my result is not clear. Can you tell me your experience ? In other words: can I delete one Incremental without deleting more recents incrementals or if I delete the full does it upgrade the first incremental into full ? Thanks Hugo L. -- Beautiful is writing same markup. Internet Explorer 9 supports standards for HTML5, CSS3, SVG 1.1, ECMAScript5, and DOM L2 & L3.

Richard,
you can always do an
update volume=blah inchanger=no slot=0
This will set the needed volume options to what the overlooked update slots
would have.
I also noticed a few times this 'stuck' situation...

[Bacula-users] Problem connecting to fd on client server
Hello!
I am trying to set up a backup-job on a win 2008 server over internet. I
have done this successfully on two other servers, but I am having trouble
with this one. Here’s the bacula-dir.config file on the clientserver (that
is to be backed up). The fd service is running on both backup-client/server.
# For Bacula release 5.0.3 (08/05/10) -- Windows MinGW32
FileDaemon {# this is me
Name = clientserver-fd
FDport = 9102# where we listen for the director
WorkingDirectory = "C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working"
Pid Directory = "C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working"
# Plugin Directory = "C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\plugins"
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
}
#
# List Directors who are permitted to contact this File daemon
#
Director {
Name = backupserver.domain.no-fd
Password = "backupserver-fd-password”
}
#
# Restricted Director, used by tray-monitor to get the
# status of the file daemon
#
Director {
Name = client-mon
Password = " backupserver-fd-password”
Monitor = yes
}
# Send all messages except skipped files back to Director
Messages {
Name = Standard
director = backupserver.domain.no-fd = all, !skipped, !restored
}
I have checked the FD name (of the backupserver) and password in the
clientserver bacula-dir.config file many times, and it seems to be
correct. I have restarted the service many times on both the backupserver
and the clientserver. I have also reinstalled bacula on the clientserver.
I thought that it could be a problem with the forwarding in the firewall
but when I ran an estimate command on the client-job I got the following
message:
Failed to connect to Client.
You have messages.
*messages
13-Oct 13:08 backupserver.domain.no-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: Unable to
authenticate with File daemon at " client-ip-adress:9102". Possible causes:
Passwords or names not the same or
Maximum Concurrent Jobs exceeded on the FD or
FD networking messed up (restart daemon).
Please see
http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Bacula_Freque_Asked_Questi.html#SECTION00376for
help.
*
It looks as if the backupserver gets contact with the File Demon on the
client server but there is something going wrong with authentication. Also,
I can connect to the backupserver using bat and bconsole from the client
server. The only thing that doesn’t seem to work is to connect from the
backupserver to the clientservers file demon.
Any ideas on what could be wrong?
Best regards
Albin

If bacula works the same as other back up programs I've dealt with in
the past, they write a jb to tape, put EOT or ?, the write the next job
and repeat.
So mount your tape no rewind, extract the first job, step past the EOT,
extract next job and repeat until physical EOT.
It has been a while since I've performed this, so I don't remember the
exact *nix commands I used.
You will not recover the overwritten job.
