[Bacula-users] Posssible Init Catalog will not delete old entries?
Hello, the history is I have upgrade from 2.4.x to 5.0.1 step by step incl. the database. On 2.4.x I'd run some time the init catalog job for different fd's. After upgrade I would do that now more like scheduled so I made first an init catalog and afterwards directly an Job Level Catalog. The problem looks like now that there files found from the init catalog job which has to been put in the catalog long time ago Here some messages from the catalog job: ... 19-Oct 00:43 backup-dir JobId 9426: Warning: The following files are in the Catalog but not on disk: 19-Oct 00:43 backup-dir JobId 9426: /var/lib/dpkg/info/libcurl3.postinst 19-Oct 00:43 backup-dir JobId 9426: /var/cache/man/pt/index.db 19-Oct 00:43 backup-dir JobId 9426: /var/cache/man/fr/index.db These files are really not on the disks, neighter at init catalog run nor at catalog run. So back to my question: Is it possible, there is a problem with the init catalog in bacula which do not delete old files from database at init catalog job? How can I fix them e.g. manually first? I think it is enough to cleanup something in the database to have an work around before I execute the next init catalog job, isn't it? The job and fileset definition for the job is the same. The level will be overriden by manually modification of the level or by the schedule.

Re: [Bacula-users] IBM LTO-2 errors
Jeremy, Thanks for the input. I also found another manual reference here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21417_01/en/CRCM2171/CRCM2171.pdf This is for a different model number than your reference, but says the same thing about the #2 error code. I'm not sure what this means in my case: the tape drive is external with its' own built in power supply. Maybe my refurbished unit is not so refurb after all! Thanks again!

[Bacula-users] Looking for configuration advice
I'm trying to back up a bunch of computational data - about 16 - 18 TB at the moment. I'll be backing a single fileserver up to a ~36 TB RAID array connected to the server via fiber channel. We add new data constantly but most of the data is pretty much static once it has been on the system for a week or so. Computational results get dropped on the server as they are created but these files sometimes will be deleted and the data re-run as the models are developed. Once the data has been there for a while it is less likely to change. I'm considering how often I do a Full backup since even with fiber channel the backup is going to take a long time. The typical Full on the first weekend of the month, Differential on the other weekends and Incrementals every night seems like a lot. One plan I'm looking at is a Full backup quarterly - starting at 21:01 am on the first Saturday after Dec 1st, March 1st, June 1st, and September 1st. Differentials would then be done every intervening month and incremental every day. I would love to archive data older than 1 year off onto another medium but have no facilities for that at the moment. First, are there any red flags I don't see in this scheme and second, how do I write the schedule to do this? Thanks, Chris J.

[Bacula-users] Need help canceling a job
I tried restoring a file but the restore wanted to mount an offsite tape. I took another path to get the file I need so no longer need this restore done.

I use Bacula 5.0.2 on debian stable 6.0.2.
I want to setup a fileset to match some directories to backup. The

/data/backup/DB-ADMIN-2011-10-13/
/data/backup/DB-ADMIN-2011-10-14/

And everyday a new directory is created.
So my fileset :
FileSet {

Include {
Options {
signature = SHA1
compression=GZIP
wild = /data/backup/DB-ADMIN*/

}
My problem is that no file match ! I think it's a problem with the
fileset wildcard cause everything (!) else work well. I've tried a lot
of things, read documentation, search on google, etc... I cannot do this
! Can someone help me ???
I'm not sure, but this excerpt from [1] looks interesting with regard to
your problem:
«5. When using wild-cards or regular expressions, directory names are
always terminated with a slash (/) and filenames have no trailing
slash.»
So maybe either try
WildDir = /data/backup/DB-ADMIN*/
or try
Wild = /data/backup/DB-ADMIN*

I've also tried using the full name as you mentioned and I get the same exact response and the job is not canceled. If I run cancel without options, I get this: *cancel No Jobs running. Yet, I can still see the job is listed as running in the status output. I just restarted bacula-sd and that did cancel the job. But that just seems like hitting a small nail with a 20lb sledge hammer. It also seems like the wrong solution give that it can affect other processes too. I've been looking through the documentation and it looks like it says I need to perform a mount of the volume before the job will cancel. That can't be right! The volume is offsite and not available right now which is why it is waiting on the mount in the first place. While I can go retrieve the offsite volume and perform the mount, that's a lot of legwork since I'm not on the same side of the city where my datacenter lives. Do I really have to mount the volume to be able to cancel the job? If so, I cannot make sense of that. Is there another way?
