Re: [Bacula-users] Some unanswered questions
Hello, 2013/8/20 debuggercz bacula-fo...@backupcentral.com Hello, I decided deploy Bacula on servers in the school. A have some questions if you have one minute. 1.) I heard that Bacula have problem with scalability. It can use any DB but it cannot use multiple instances. Do you know the solution of this? How large will be your deployment? More then 2000 clients and more then 100M files? If no forget about it. You can handle it easily with a single Director and single Catalog database. 2.) How effectively link verify job to a normal backup? When the backup is performed we want to verify that the backup is all right... What do you mean? The only solution to verify any kind of write is a read. If you want to verify that your backup is correct is you should perform a restore. 3.) I read on the internet about load-balancing (multiple Directory daemons). Is it possible automatically associate clients to the Directory daemon? I only know about manual associated clients into groups where one group is managed by one Directory daemon. How many backup clients will you plan to deploy? I bet you will have a performance problem with server network throughput bottleneck first then Director. A single Bacula Client with a single Job can saturate 1Gbit/s Ethernet without a problem (if you know what hardware you require and how to setup it correctly). Why do you think a Bacula Director cannot handle 1 client with one job running? :) In this case you should separate Storage Daemon server from Director then install next Storage Daemon, then another SD and another... best regards -- Radosław Korzeniewski rados...@korzeniewski.net -- Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.

Hello,
2013/8/19 Iban Cabrillo cabri...@ifca.unican.es
Hi, Any Idea?
Seems something related to bacula, I have tried chaging the FC port,
but the result has been the same
FC LIP reset is not related to Bacula - IMHO. I had the same problem but
with a changer device. The problem was a second server which accidentally
accessed the same target (at random time). When I switch off the second
server the problem was cured. Sure, your problem could has a different
origin then my, and YMMV. BTW, what kernel tape driver do you use (Linux
stock)?
best regards

I've a similarly unknown set of files to back up and the best I could come up with is run find on the client looking for files not modified in the last 24 hours. And even then bacula isn't saving the metadata (ownership, permissions, timestamps) on parent directories (apparently it's a feature). So if you know these files don't stick around for more than X hours, you can run a script on the client that gives you a list of files older than X hours you back up those. Obviously, that gives you a X-hour window when real files aren't backed up plus a change for false negatives false positives. Plus bacula's dynamic fileset feature.

Re: [Bacula-users] LIP reset occurred (0), device removed.
Possibly the fiber cable? Can you swap it out and try again?
I had 20 fiber connections and one of them needed replacing. It made the drive
look bad from the server, but the library did not report any error conditions
with the drive.

You can't.
Actually, ues, you can. Instead of using a static Fileset, you can
configure Bacula to source a script that generates it on the fly. You
could create a dynamic-fileset script that excludes all files over a
specified size.
Here's an example from
http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/install/install/Configuring_Director.html
of a dynamically-generated Fileset:
Include {
Options {
signature = SHA1
}
File = |sh -c 'df -l | grep \^/dev/hd[ab]\ | grep -v \.*/tmp\ \
| awk \{print \\$6}\'
}
So you could simply create a dynamic fileset script here that
enumerates all directories and all files not exceeding a specified size.
Now, the above is a bit of a brute-force solution. I have not
personally tried this refinement, but I see no reason it should not
ALSO be possible to create a static fileset with a dynamically
generated exclude list, something like this.
FileSet {
Name = Dynamic Exclude Set
Include {
Options {
signature = SHA1
File = |sh -c 'find /home -size +10G'
Exclude = yes
}
File = /
File = /home
File = /var
}
}
This example should result in automatically excluding any file 10GB or
larger located anywhere under /home.

I'd like to exclude these from the backup process. How can I do that, since I don't know where they can appear or what their names are? You can't. Actually, ues, you can. Did you read the rest of my e-mail? Yes, I did. I'm not quite clear here whether you're arguing that I'm contradicting you, or arguing that you contradicted your own statement that You can't. Instead of using a static Fileset, you can configure Bacula to source a script that generates it on the fly. That is exactly what I said. Also that it's error-prone and that bacula won't store attributes on the parent directories unless you explicitly include them. (But then you have to have exclude everything in them and include individual files, which makes the whole mess even uglier and more error-prone.) Dmitri, if you look at the approach I proposed, it would back up the entire tree and only exclude specific files, which entirely sidesteps the parent-directory-metadata problem you mentioned. Excluding only the files you don't want is a simpler solution altogether. Are you arguing that it won't work?

My points are
1. Excluding files based on size alone sounds icky. You need to consider
your false positives negatives carefully.
2. OP didn't say what his fileset normally looks like. Without that
- if he's backing up everything and excluding specific files, then
another exclude should probably work.
- If he's excluding everything and backing up specific files, then
dynamic fileset comes with the parent metadata problem.
3. Most importantly, the only way to do it right is if OP can get his
users to cooperate. Then (e.g.) 'exclude { wild = *__nobak__* }' is
all there's to it.
