[Bacula-users] Increase of space disk after job modification
I encountered a problem with the backup of a Windows Server. To locate the problem, I have divided my initial backup job (the pim job) into 2 jobs pim_C to save the C partition and Pim_D to save the D partition. I have just commented the old job pim in the bacula-dir.conf file. I realized that the problem is with the C partition, I then commented the job pim_C and I replaced it with 2 other jobs: pim_C1 and pim_C2. With this method I was able to locate my problem and solve it. But I have seen an increase in disk space used. The free space is 11% while it was 38%. The old jobs (pim, pim_C ...) do not appear in the list of jobs executed or scheduled. Do you think that the old jobs (pim pim_C ) still take up space on my hard drive? If so, how do I find the corresponding volumes and remove them? NB: I use bacula 2.4.4 on RHEL5 and BAT 5.0.3 client on Windows XP. Thank you in advance for your answers. -- Slashdot TV.

[Bacula-users] scheduling copy jobs for offsite backups
Hi, i'd like to have done a Vfull every day, this Vfull should at the end be copied to an usb disk. If i do this manually (inc - vfull - copy job), it works. If i schedule the copy jobs (lower priority than the normal jobs) it doesn't find any usable job to copy. Do i have to trigger those jobs by an admin job? How do you solve such offsite backups? cheers juergen -- Slashdot TV. Video for Nerds.

Can you tell what Selection Type and Pattern are you using? If i schedule the copy jobs (lower priority than the normal jobs) it doesn't find any usable job to copy. Can you show how your Copy job is configured and what is the priority of the other jobs? -- Heitor Medrado de Faria | Need Bacula training? 10% discount coupon code at Udemy: bacula-users https://www.udemy.com/bacula-backup-software/?couponCode=bacula-users +55 61 2021-8260 +55 61 8268-4220 Site: www.bacula.com.br Facebook: heitor.faria http://www.facebook.com/heitor.faria Gtalk: heitorfa...@gmail.com -- Slashdot TV.

Re: [Bacula-users] scheduling copy jobs for offsite backups
Juergen: untill now your configuration seems perfect. Can you show the Pools configuration? I'm just suspicious about the Next Pool directive. I've always worked it at the Pools, for the copy Job. I think it may not work properly at the Schedule resource and maybe is why you are facing problems with the scheduled jobs. Cheers. -- Slashdot TV. Video for Nerds.

Hi, http://www.bacula.org/7.0.x-manuals/en/main/New_Features_in_7_0_0.html tells me: In addition to being permitted in the Job resource, the *nextpool=xxx* specification can be specified as a run override in the *run* directive of a Schedule resource. Any *nextpool* specification in a *run* directive will override any other specification in either the Job or the Pool. I use this as we change usb disk daily. Cheers. -- Slashdot TV. Video for Nerds.

The web software is on server1 and the database is on server2. We have Bacula community version 7.0.5 Bacula client is installed on server1 for now. Obviously, server1 can access server2's database. I'm wondering how others have solved this problem. I have a couple of options here: 1. Do a pg_dump on server1 (it has the space) and then backup the dump file 2. Do the same on server2 instead 3. Set up a PITR backup on server2 4. Do a simple file system backup. This requires shutting down the database while the backup is in progress. so, I'm curious. Any responses? I would run the pg_dump on server1. That way, your copy is not on server2 should server 2 die. Backup that dump file. Do not delete the file after the backup. Keep it available in case it’s needed. On a regular basis, rsync that file, and your *.conf file to a few other safe places. Document those locations. The goal: have the configuration and the database dump available should server1 die. FWIW, I usually pg_dump the schema to a text file and run a script that does '\copy ... to csv' for each table. Then commit them to git or rcs repository right there. Then rsync the repository to a couple of other servers. No bacula needed. I don't bother with .conf because so far I didn't need to do any mods I'd want saved -- changing listen address and acl doesn't count as worth saving. When I said .conf, I mean bacula-dir.conf, etc. Keep those files handy, outside Bacula backups. — Dan Langille signature.asc Description: Message signed with OpenPGP using GPGMail -- Slashdot TV.

[Bacula-users] Bacula SD Broken Pipe after 16 minutes after ...
Since there are no solutions comming back from the community - I guess I am the only one not overcoming this problem. But least I have found a workaround. Since we have increased our spooling cache to a size so that a complete full backup of the servers fits - and therefore no despooling in the middle of the backup is needed - the backup runs fine. For me it is a clear bug somewhere in Bacula with all versions since 5.2.x . Reading the error message it makes kinda sense now since the bacula-fd is giving the error. Once despooling starts during backup - the fd continues to send data - but is not getting an answer from the storage daemon. Hence giving up. there seams to be some kind of communication Bug between the client and the storage daemon when the despooling process starts. Still I am not really happy with my workaround - and still looking forward that someone kicks in with a real solution.
