Re: [Bacula-users] Unable to recover data using bscan

[Keith T]

Hi Ana, 
Thanks for the point! I think I could not avoid setup the previous old version 
for this recovery when the new version currently use seems not working.
I had already tried bextract command and failed as it seems to be not possible 
for encrypted data referring to some posts.
Thanks much again for your helps!

Best regards,Keith

 Hi Keith,
I'm affraid it's a database version problem. Your 2012 backups have database 
vesion=12 and your current catalog uses version 14. If this is the problem, I'm 
not sure it is, then you can solve it creating an 5.0.3 director virtual 
machine with an empty database and restore the 8 volumes and jobs with bscan.
For old backups, I normally use bextract for restores, mainly because I don't 
have file retention times too long and with bextract I can easly do full 
restores or select folders/files I want be restored (and you can use only one 
volume or all of them).

Hi Ana,
Thanks for your kind advise! Will post after tried.
But I would ask whether it is possible to restore data with one volume instead 
of multiple volume since the full backup done for eight volumes (and seems not 
able to restore it without creating the first volume). Besides, if possible, I 
shall use the job id (e.g.7) that has created when bscan multiple volumes as 
bscan one volume did not see a new job ID created? When use job ID 7, no more 
folders recovered after only bscan volume 7 even volfiles has value 232 now 
(re-run bscan -V COMHKOB2012HDD7 -v -s -S -m -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf

Re: [Bacula-users] Job transfer rate

[Jeff MacDonald]

Its def disk IO on the client OR disk/database io on the bacula director.

Its all a symptom of too much VM on not enough hardware.

[Bacula-users] bacula 7 list volumes

[Tim Dunphy]

Hey guys,

 I seem to remember being able to 'list volumes' in older versions of
bconsole. But now that I'm on bacula 7 on the server it doesn't seem to
understand that command.

*list volumes;
Unknown list keyword: volumes;

And I've even dug through some bacula documentation that seems to suggest
that's a valid command. So while I have lost my mind, I don't think it's to
the extent that I'm just making up commands that I thought I could use.

Can I get some help here as to why this is happening?

Thanks
Tim

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula 7 list volumes

Not running bacula 7 here, but have you tried ‘list volume’?

Both work in 5.2, but the online help (“h list”) only mentions ‘volume’.

*h list
  Command   Description
  ===   ===
  list  List objects from catalog

Arguments:
pools | jobs | jobtotals | volume | media  | files 
jobid= | copies jobid=

Hi Tim

The only reason I can think of is that you are treating the bconsole command
prompt as if you were at a mysql command prompt and are appending a semi-colon
to the end of the command.

drop the semi-colon. :)

Hey guys,

Yup that was it!! The stupid semi-colon.. Sorry I don't know why I was
thinking I was at a mysql prompt. But it works now and thanks for your help!

[Bacula-users] filter output of list jobs

[Jeff MacDonald]

Hi,

Can I do something like

list jobs status=successful 

or 

list jobs job=job123

I’m looking for better ways to be able to filter jobs on the command line etc.

Jeff, from a shell prompt or a script you can do this:


echo "list jobs" | bconsole -c /path/to/bconsole.conf  | grep " T "

or


echo "list jobs" | bconsole -c /path/to/bconsole.conf  | grep " 1,234 "


And then a little tr, sed, and/or awk to format it

Bill

Re: [Bacula-users] Problem installing bacula on Solaris 10

[Kenneth Garges]

Thanks for the suggestion. I avoided it because everyone in the office here 
said stay away from SunStudio, gcc is way better, Solaris compilers are evil, 
blah blah.

But I tried it and it did clear up that error. Got past the configure stage and 
most of make ran. Still not all the way there but further.
