Re: [Bacula-users] Exchange Plugin Restore
James, Are there any trips or techniques on restoring using the Exchange plugin? I assume that one issue could be this is a new clean server we are restoring to, and the plugin might be erroring out.

I assume what should be created is something within the exchange store, so something fundamentally must be broken. It does sound like something is wrong. There is a bug somewhere, in the SD I think, that causes the logfiles not to restore correctly on an incremental restore. It can be worked around but is somewhat painful.

[Bacula-users] Copy jobs
Hello,
I'm trying to copy jobs from one server to another.
I defined 2 storage daemons:
==
# Definition of file storage device
Storage {
Name = File
Address = tucana.domain# N.B. Use a fully qualified
name here
SDPort = 9103
Password = password1
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5
Device = FileStorage
Media Type = File
}
Storage {
Name = File-Copy
Address = carina.domain
SDPort = 9103
Password = password2
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5
Device = FileStorage
Media Type = File
}
==
I defined 2 pools:
==
# File Pool definition
Pool {
Name = File
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically
recycle Volumes
LabelFormat = Vol
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 35 days # one month
Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G # Limit Volume size to something
reasonable
Maximum Volumes = 100 # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
RecyclePool = Scratch
NextPool = File-Copy
}
# File Pool definition
Pool {
Name = File-Copy
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically
recycle Volumes
LabelFormat = Copy
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 35 days # one month
Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G # Limit Volume size to something
reasonable
Maximum Volumes = 80# Limit number of Volumes in Pool
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Storage = File-Copy
}
==
Then, I created a job:
==
Job {
Name = CopyJob
Type = Copy
Level = Full
Client = tucana-fd
FileSet = Full Set
Messages = Standard
Pool = File
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 4
Storage = File
Selection Type = Client
SelectionPattern = tucana-fd
}
==
When I run it, I have the following director status:
Running Jobs:
Console connected at 15-août011 14:34
Console connected at 15-août011 17:53
JobId Level Name Status

In this link:
http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/concepts/concepts/Migration_Copy.html
It's written that Migration is only implemented for a single Storage
daemon. You cannot read on one Storage daemon and write on another.
Is this sentence still true ?
Can you confirm I'm concerned by this limitation ?
Best regards.

Re: [Bacula-users] Copy jobs
I would also like to know the answer to Jerome's initial question of whether
the limitation still exists, which stops us from being able to copy between
storage daemons.
Copying data between SD's would be the 'icing on the cake' to my new Bacula
system!
Kind regards,
Joe

[Bacula-users] multiple spool files / concurrent spooling/despooing again
While I'm not able to contribute patches, I'd like to voice my support for the concept of having multiple spool files to enable concurrent spooling de-spooling that Ralph Gross brought up in 2007[1] and which Jesper Krogh submitted as a feature request in 2009[2]. Problem synopsis: Data spooling is a necessity to get good throughput to modern, high-speed tape drives, but bacula pauses the spooling as soon as it starts writing to tape, which drastically reduces throughput. Here are some numbers from our environment: [A] Throughput w/o spooling: ~22MB/s this represents the aggregate of the speed to read data from disk and write to tape, with shoe-shining, network congestion, disk contention, etc. [B] Throughput to spool file: ~55MB/s this represents the aggregate of the speed to read data from disk (a 9TB logical volume made up from multiple RAID5 and RAID6 LUNs) and write to the RAID-10 spool partition. This includes any network congestion, disk contention, etc. [C] Throuput from disk spool file to LTO-4 tape: ~108MB/s This is the raw despooling-speed. [D] End-to-end throughput with spooling: ~27MB/s This is very disappointing...this is the overall throughput of [B] + [C] above. While eliminating shoe-shining is much better for the tape media and tape drive, the overall performance is almost identical to [A], while it should be close to [B]. The reason for the decrease in performance is that bacula stops all spooling as soon as it starts de-spooling. In an ideal configuration, there could be multiple spool directories defined, and bacula would open a new spool file in the next directory as soon as it begins despooling. An example bacula-sd configuration might contain: Spool Directory=/raid0-A/spool Spool Directory=/raid0-B/spool Spool Directory=/raid0-C/spool Concurrent Spool=yes where each /raid0-* mount point is a separate RAID-0 array, so as to minimize contention. The Concurrent Spool option would determine whether spooling follows the existing behavior, or if multiple spool files (possibly in different directories) are used concurrently for spooling and despooling. If the user defines a single spool directory (as in the current configuration), and does not defined Concurrent Spool = yes, the existing behavior would occur.

[Bacula-users] Need some help
Dear all, I will be very glad if someone could help me. I have decided after many recommendations to implement Bacula software in the environment of my e-commerce. The version that I'm trying to test is Bacula 5.0.3. I have started reading the docs and all the stuff but I am completly mess up with the information. I have experience in backup tools (TSM, NetBackup, BackupEXEC). But in this case I cannot follow the installation guide so if someone could give me a hand by giving some advices or at least how to begin the instalation (I have downloaded the depackes and the Bacula 5.0.3) but my problem starts when I have to perform de ./configure I don't know how to configure it I mean when I use cat configure it looks like a script I have to edit it or I'm suppose to edit another different file? Could help me with that or give me some kind of guide more organize than the one that is on bacula.com or at least tell me the order in which I am suppose to follow it. Thanks in advance! Don't hesitate in contact me for further questions!

Don't hesitate in contact me for further questions! Ignacio Cardona. You should check with your operating system's package manager to see if it already has a bacula package. Then you can just install the packages from your package manager and ignore compiling bacula (ie. no need to worry about ./configure.) If your operating system does not have a package, you can always run this command to get help with the configure script: ./configure --help Generally, if you don't think you need any specific compile-time options enabled, you can just type this: ./configure make make install Make sure you are root when you run this. The configure script will automatically scan your system for you. It prepares the software so it can be compiled for your system. Unless you get an error that causes configure to exit, you wont have to do anything more than what's above to get the software configured, compiled, and installed. After that, you can start following the reference manual on configuring your directory, storage, and file daemons.
