[Bacula-users] Questions regarding migration job failure

[jerry lowry]

Hi,

I am frequently getting errors on my migration jobs and I need some help 
trying to figure out what the problem is.


I have three migration jobs that migrate data from a daily disk to a 
raid disk that is setup as a hotswap disk.  Once this is full I pull the 
disk and move it to an offsite facility.  About half of the time the 
migration jobs work with out any problems, the other half I get errors 
on many of the jobs that are being migrated.  Example:  I start a 
migrate job and it starts to migrate 6 jobs to the offsite disk.  It 
will get through two of the jobs successfully and then the last four 
jobs will fail with the error below.  Each of the media are created 
using  BAT or BConsole without errors.


I have no clue as to what the problem might be, so any help is great.

Below you will find the config files and job output.

thanks,
jerry

Re: [Bacula-users] Bat through SSH X11 forwarding works parcially fine/bad

[Jason Voorhees]

It was a mistake of mine. The mentioned windows always were working
fine but were not visible because of a "almost invisible" bar.

Thanks anyway.

[Bacula-users] Error writing final EOF to tape LTO-5

[lweinlan]

we are using Bacula on a Linux 2.6.18-238.5.1.el5PAE system, and have a Dell 
TL-2000 two drives (dev/nst0 and dev/nst1) autochanger. Bacula runs fine but we 
always encounter a tape error writing final EOF when using drive 1. There is an 
error message regarding the tape EOF, the tape does not fill up, bacula mounts 
the next tape, and continues the backup. The job finishes correctly. What is 
noticeable is that a part of the error message is identical (dev.c:1745 ioctl) 
and the error seems to appears at the same block (c:577) for 2 different tapes 
as shown below. The amount of data written to each tape varies before the error 
happening. I do not know if it makes a difference but just wanted to mention 
it. What could be the cause of this problem ?
below are the logs:

Hello Mark,

You'll find what you need about this in the "Using File

chapter in the Bacula Manual. Check the link below.

[Bacula-users] Restore without creating top level directory

[Mike Hobbs]

  Question,  I'm trying to do a restore of a file system, in this case, 
/opt.  I want to restore everything on this partition.

I have a spare disk mounted in another client with all the file systems 
created, formatted and mounted. In this case I have the file system I 
want to restore to, mounted as /export/opt.

In bconsole, I have marked everything under the /opt directory, I then 
backed out to root and unmarked (not recursive) the /opt directory.

When I run the restore I would like all the files to be restored to 
/export/opt, but even after unmarking /opt/ it is still creating the top 
level directory, so my restore point ends up being /export/opt/opt/

Is there a way to get bacula to NOT create the top level directory?  
There must be I'm sure I'm just missing something here.

Thank you,

mike

[Bacula-users] Troubles with bacula and vchanger.

[alidaf]

I've now changed all of the automount options to fixed mounts and tried again.  
I can now initialise the disks but still cannot label the barcodes.  I have 
also upgraded from hardy to lucid but the problem remains.
