[...] If a file to archive has been created after the files list creation, you will remove it without archiving it. Well, isn't it just about not using `rm *' or whatever? To present a real example: among other things, I'm using Bacula to back up an ever-growing set of voice conversation records created by the call-center software we're using. The job of archiving freshly created records is performed once a day and it goes like this: 1) A run before job script uses `find' to create a list of files to archive--the list is just a plain text file with one filename per line. 2) The fileset resource for the job uses the notation to include the filelist created on step (1). The name of the filelist is fixed so this works just OK. 3) A run after job uses the filelist to move the files just archived to another location on a filesystem. Note that I could as well run something like `cat $filelist | xargs -n 100 rm -f` on the filelist instead of rsync'ing the files using it. Then in my case the filelist is renamed to include the job's unique ID and moved to a special directory, but in a simpler case I could just remove it. -- vRanger cuts backup time in half-while increasing security.

Re: [Bacula-users] Moving a volume to a pool doens't inherit the correct Volume Use Duration
How do you move the tapes from Scratch to the Daily Pool? You're supposed to
have a Scratch Pool = Scratch entry on your Daily Pool so Bacula gets the
tape automatically from the Scratch Pool when running the Jobs...
2011/5/27 Mauro Colorio mauro.colo...@gmail.com
I've a scratch pool defined as
Pool {
Name = Scratch
Pool Type = Backup
}
and daily one
Pool {
Name = Daily
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 5 days
Maximum Volume Bytes = 800G
Volume Use Duration = 23h
Maximum Volumes = 5
}
so noticed that there is not a Volume Use Duration in the Scratch
pool, when I label new volumes with the command
label barcode pool=Scratch i put volumes in the Scratch, they have
value 0 for Volume Use Duration,
pool then I move some of them in the Daily pool they keeps 0 for
Volume Use Duration, I was expecting that they takes the correct
value,
of course I can run update volume, but I think it's a bug, isn't?
ciao

Re: [Bacula-users] Moving a volume to a pool doens't inherit the correct Volume Use Duration
Please, do not forget to reply to the list also, not only directly to me... I actually don't think it's a BUG, when you put your tapes on the Scratch Pool using label barcodes, the volumes will inherit any configuration on that pool, and only if that volume gets cycled to the Daily Pool automatically by Bacula using the Scratch Pool = Scratch parameter I told you about before is when these parameters from the Daily Pool are set on the Volume... Try doing that, I really recommended it... 2011/5/30 Mauro Colorio mauro.colo...@gmail.com How do you move the tapes from Scratch to the Daily Pool? You're supposed to have a Scratch Pool = Scratch entry on your Daily Pool so Bacula gets the tape automatically from the Scratch Pool when running the Jobs... with the update command, or for example with webacula, I've defined the scratch volume but I don't use really it, I'm using something like a GFS schedule and I put 5 volumes in the Daily pool 2 volumes in the weekly and so on.. but when I add a new volume I use the label barcode command putting it into the Scratch pool, I discovered that when I move the volume, it keeps the Volume Use Duration value of the original pool, I think this is a bug ciao Mauro -- vRanger cuts backup time in half-while increasing security.

Re: [Bacula-users] scripts for holding configuration in database
2011/5/28 Silver Salonen sil...@ultrasoft.ee
I have named the Ruby classes beginning with 'BaculaConf' and they are:
... - BaculaConfFileParser - backend for parsing configuration from files
(eg. for importing configuration into MySQL)
I already wrote here in 2010:
During development the prototype of the my new system (Webacula 5.5),
I tried to parse the bacula-dir.conf.
However, this is probably not possible with simple regexp's.
It turned out that some applications, for example, Webmin does this
with a regexp.
But they're doing it wrong!
For example, here is test configuration (which is written according to
Bacula Main Reference: Customizing the Configuration Files)
contains no errors in terms of Bacula (I checked it) but it would be
wrong parsed (I have not tested it, but I'm sure of it) by 3rd parties
parsers (not native) :
-
# comment1
# comment2
c o n s o l e
{ Name=name1; Password = p; \\\a s s w o rd; J o b A C L = *all\*
}Con sole { N a m e = name 2; Pass word = password; JobACL =
job/\1, job2, job3
}
-
I.e. in other words to parse with regexp any Bacula configuration will
be very difficult.
Stefan Muenkner suggested:
a better solution still would be to enable bacula to dump its
configuration as a (e.g.) XML or JSON file, probably in a rather generic
way so that future changes to the structure/content of the config files
would not need additional work on behalf of the bacula developers. XML or
JSON - as examples - could be easily picked up by php, ruby, perl,
python, java you name it whatever.
