Our configuration is a lite confusing. We have a multichanger and I want
make bacula ask for multiple tapes. Now bacula only recycle one tape when it
is need and when it is full ask another tape, needing another operator
intervention. I want to make bacula recycle all tapes,  keeping retention
periods, and ask for all of these in one mount request.

Below is part of my bacula-dir.conf with relevant information and the script
that is launched in mail command:

Re: [Bacula-users] Base = ?

[hymie!]

I should have included this other job definition for reference.  It
uses "Level = Base" which I also cannot find in the documentation.

Job {
  Name = "db01-base"
  Type = Backup
  Messages = Standard
  Level = Base
  FileSet="db01-Slash"
  Storage = File
  Client = db01-fd
  Priority = 10
}

Job {
  Name = "db01-full"
  Base = db01-full, db01-base
  JobDefs = "StandardJob"
  Client = db01-fd
  FileSet = "Slash"
}

Can somebody tell me where to find the documentation and/or what
this option does?

Thanks.

Hi list,

I came in this morning and found that my director had died last night 
after doing two of the backups.  The traceback follows at the end.

This is the scenario:

I noticed yesterday that the only two jobs that were scheduled to 
be performed last night were a monthly backup and the catalog backup.  
Given that I did not have the time to research why the other 5 backups 
were not scheduled I started BAT and selected the jobs to run at the 
appropriate times they normally run each night ( supposed to anyway ).  
So, when I looked at the director status I saw the two that were 
scheduled and 5 jobs that were waiting for the selected time to run.


The two jobs that were scheduled ran without any errors.  The director 
crashed when running the first job that I selected to run from BAT.  
From BAT
I selected the JOBS tab and then selected the job which I wanted to 
run.  I modified only the "when" ( or start time ) by highlighting the

hour and minute
and inserting the time I wanted the job to run.  Did this for each of 
the jobs that did not get scheduled.


Made sure they were all showing up in the DIRECTOR tab and went on home.

Restarted bacula this morning and all the jobs were scheduled as normal.

Any clues or ideas as to the problem would be great.

[Bacula-users] Base = ?

[hymie!]

Greetings.

I'm taking over the bacula administration from an ex-co-worker.

He has some jobs configured with the "Base" option, such as:

Job {
  Name = "db01-full"
  Base = db01-full, db01-base
  JobDefs = "StandardJob"
  Client = db01-fd
  FileSet = "Slash"
}

I cannot find any reference in the "Configuring the Director" manual
http://bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Configuring_Director.html
to this option.  Am I looking in the wrong place?

The closest thing I can find is
basejob=options
The options letters specified are used when running a Backup
Level=Full with BaseJobs. The options letters are the same than in
the verify= option below.

But this is the only reference to BaseJobs that I can find, and the
options don't match.

Can somebody tell me where to find the documentation and/or what
this option does?

Thanks.

[Bacula-users] Behavior with symlinks

[Daniel Bareiro]

Hi all!

I'm using the following generic FileSet for various clients. The server
has Bacula 5.0.2 and the clients have Bacula 2.4.4 (Debian repositories)


# DGB - 20100729
FileSet {
  Name = "StandardBackup"
  Include {
Options {
  signature = SHA1
  compression=GZIP
}
File = /etc
File = "\\|bash -c \"find /space/ -name backup -o -name log\""
  }
}


I wonder if there is any option that can be used in a FileSet on which I
can set the way to treat symlinks when they are found. My idea is to
have something like the --copy-links option of rsync that can be used
with Bacula, although I do not know if this should be supported by both
the server and the clients (so I put the versions).

Since not all clients have symbolic links in these directories, would be
ideal to use a option with this generic FileSet.


Thanks for your reply.

Regards,
Daniel

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula configration for FC LTO-5 tape drive, centos 5.5 rpm's

[Arunav Mandal]

Hi,

I have installed the bacula rpm sources and have build the rpm's using
"rpmbuild -bb --define "build_x86_64 1" --define build_mysql=1 --define
"build_centos5 1" --define "build_bat 1" --define "build_rescue 1"
bacula.spec" I see that it won't create all the packages.

Can you let me know how do you compile rpm packages?

Hi,

Can you clarify this.. do you mean that you have two tape drives and it only 
ever uses one? 

or that your backup is small enough to fit on one tape and it keeps recycling 
the same tape?

Can you provide some of your configuration data? eg pool data, Storage 
Configuration, What are your retention times set to?

Cheers,
---Guy

[Bacula-users] Make bacula reacycle and ask for several tapes in autochanger

[Juanra]

Hello all.

I have an TS3100 autochanger and I use barcodes with bacula to label
diferent tapes.

The problem is when bacula starts a backup it only ask for one tape, I
modify operator command to stimate size of backup but I want bacula to
recycle all tapes that can be recycled.

Any ideas
