[Bacula-users] accurate mode and full backup
hi: I use accurate mode for incremental or differential backups. but when incremental level upgrade to full level (like fist time backup) , will bacula disable accurate mode automatically? I check the backup log and find the line "accurate = yes" even when bacula is doing full backup. should I worry about this? thanks a lot for your help!!

[Bacula-users] Copy Job Head Scratcher... Next Pool
I am working on setting up a Copy job to a tape autoloader - and am having an issue with the Next Pool directive requirement. I am picking the jobs to copy - last Full for a number of existing clients - using an SQL Query. The query is working fine and providing the correct job ids as input. The problem is that each client has its own Pool - containing Fulls, Incrementals and Differentials - and I don't know how to work around the Next Pool requirement... I would rather use 1 job for all the copies if possible and would don't really want to revamp the Pools so that the fulls etc have their own pools. Anyone have any ideas ?

[Bacula-users] Building rpms from bacula.spec troubles
I'm trying to build RPM's from the bacula.spec file included with the 5.2.10
source on CentOS 6.3 and have ran into several problems.
rpmbuild -ba --define "build_centos6 1" --define "build_mysql 1"
SPECS/bacula.spec
results in this error:
error: line 457: Empty tag: Distribution:
which I think should be set by %define _dist %(grep CentOS /etc/redhat-release)
but isn't.
so I set it manually like this: Distribution: %{CentOS release 6.3 (Final)}
That will allow the build to continue to this point...

I think you need to split the Options clauses differently.
Bacula scans them in order and accepts/rejects as soon as one matches, so your
first clause matches only the directories whose name begins with "s"
(including st123) and the second clause rejects everything else.
Something like this will work:
FileSet {
Name = "home_s"
Include {
Options {
exclude = yes
wilddir = "/mnt/home/st123"
}
Options {
wild = "/mnt/home/s*"
compression = GZIP4
sparse = yes
noatime = yes
}
Options {
exclude = yes
RegexDir = ".*"
}
File = /mnt/home
}
}

[Bacula-users] Bacula base jobs
Hello
I'm trying to implement deduplication in my bacula installation but I didn't
understand how does it fit into my installation. The bacula documentation about
base jobs are not very usable (my opinion). Further I spent some hours in
google but I didn't find any helpful hint.
My problem:
I have 2 servers called asterix and obelix. I want to backup both servers with
bacula. Asterix is the primary server and obelix is rsync-mirror of asterix. So
obelix should be nearly identical with asterix and the backup of obelix should
be based on asterix. The pool resides on disk.
Job Definitions:
Job {
Name = "asterix-Backup_BUERO"
Client = asterix
Schedule = "Sched_1st-sun-Full_sun-Diff_daily-Incr"
JobDefs = "JobDef_BUERO"
}
Job {
Name = "obelix-Backup_BUERO"
Client = obelix
Schedule = "Sched_2nd-sun-Full_sun-Diff_daily-Incr"
JobDefs = "JobDef_BUERO"
Schedule Definitions:
Schedule {
Name = "Sched_1st-sun-Full_sun-Diff_daily-Incr"
Run = Level=Full 1st sun at 01:00
Run = Level=Differential 2nd-5th sun at 01:00
Run = Level=Incremental mon-sat at 01:00
}
Schedule {
Name = "Sched_2nd-sun-Full_sun-Diff_daily-Incr"
Run = Level=Full 2nd sun at 02:00
Run = Level=Differential 3rd-5th sun at 02:00
Run = Level=Differential 1st sun at 02:00
Run = Level=Incremental mon-sat at 02:00
As you see in the schedules, asterix is doing a full backup once a month, a
differential backup each sunday and a daily incremental backup. obelix is doing
the same with 1 week offset.
If I declare asterix as Level=Base what happens with differential and
incremental backup of asterix.
1. Are these type of backups also a base backup?
2. Which backup (full/diff/incr) is base for obelix? All jobs have the same
name.
3. Or do I need an extra job with run a full backup as a "base-only-job" on
asterix and have a reference from both servers to them?
3.1. If yes, what happens if this "base-only-job" is replaced by a new one? Is
the old "base-only-job" still available as long as all references are gone?
I appreciate any info.

IMHO, there is really no need to use that tool. Bacula is able to manage
virtual autochanger by itself...

I meant not with bacula alone.
I recommend you use a disk virtual autochanger to achieve this.

[Bacula-users] Multiple Storages in Job Resource
Hi,
I use backup to disk to backup my clients and I hit the slow restore
problem when backup jobs run concurrently and use the same storage
device/volume. The backup window is small and therefore jobs must run at
the same time.
My first intention was to create for each client a dedicated storage
device, similar like [1]. With this configuration each backup job is saved
on a sperated volume, no mixups and slow restore is gone. But the
configuration overhead is huge and for a new client I have to restart the
storage daemon.
During my web search I found the configuration of mashdot [2]. He use four
generic storage devices and use _all_ four in the Job Resource
configuration.
Job {
...
Storage =
PrimaryFileStorage,SecondaryFileStorage,TertiaryFileStorage,QuaternaryFileStorage
...
}
It's possible to define more than one storage device and the jobs will
select automatically the next free one until all are in used? I couldn't
find anything about this in the official documentation or in mailing list
archives.
If this is possible, why I'm getting the following errors when a jobs
starts during another is already running?
26-Jul 16:48 bacula.example.com-dir JobId 889: Start Backup JobId 889,

The following is a relevant Pool definition from my configuration:
Pool {
Name = Incr-Disk
Storage = babylon4-file
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = no
Recycle Oldest Volume = no
Recycle Current Volume = no
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 1 month
Maximum Volume Jobs = 0
Volume Use Duration = 23h
Label Format =
"INCR-$Year${Month:p/2/0/r}${Day:p/2/0/r}-${Hour:p/2/0/r}:${Minute:p/2/0/r}"
RecyclePool = Scratch
}
And here's the beginning of the log from the first job to run last night:
26-Jul 04:30 babylon4-dir JobId 1306: shell command: run BeforeJob
"/opt/bacula/sbin/checkhost babylon4"
26-Jul 04:30 babylon4-dir JobId 1306: BeforeJob: Client babylon4 has
address 10.24.32.14
26-Jul 04:30 babylon4-dir JobId 1306: Start Backup JobId 1306,
Job=Babylon4_Backup.2012-07-26_04.30.00_02
26-Jul 04:30 babylon4-dir JobId 1306: Max configured use duration=82,800
sec. exceeded. Marking Volume "INCR-20120725-04:30" as
+Used.
26-Jul 04:30 babylon4-dir JobId 1306: Created new Volume
"INCR-20120726-04:30" in catalog.
26-Jul 04:30 babylon4-dir JobId 1306: Using Device "FileStorage"
26-Jul 04:30 babylon4-sd JobId 1306: Labeled new Volume
"INCR-20120726-04:30" on device "FileStorage" (/spool/bacula).
26-Jul 04:30 babylon4-sd JobId 1306: Wrote label to prelabeled Volume
"INCR-20120726-04:30" on device "FileStorage"
+(/spool/bacula)
The volume INCR-20120725-04:30 was created yesterday morning. This
morning Bacula went to start the job, checked the volume, determined it
had exceeded its use duration, marked it used, and created a new one.
For me, this Just Works. If you're doing the same thing, I don't
understand why it's not working for you.
