[Bacula-users] "Full" tapes with zero bytes?

[mark . bergman]

I'm running Bacula 9.0.8 under CentOS 6, and I'm seeing something odd with some 
tapes. Backups were written to the tapes, but a query of the status of volumes 
in the tape changer shows that the media is
"Full" with zero GB:



Choose a query (1-50): 15

+-++---+-+--+-+---+---+
| mediaid | volumename | gb| storage | slot | pool| 
mediatype | volstatus |

+-++---+-+--+-+---+---+
| 264 | 006273L6   | 0 | neoxl80 |   19 | Full| LTO6
  | Full  |
| 220 | 006200L6   | 0 | neoxl80 |   20 | Incremental | LTO6
  | Full  |


However, a query of the individual volumes shows a more realistic byte count, 
but not enough to fill the media:

Choose a query (1-50): 14
Enter Volume name: 006273L6

++---+-+--+---+-+++
| jobid  | name  | starttime   | type | level | files   
| bytes  | status |

++---+-+--+---+-+++

|  0 | T  |

++---+-+--+---+-+++

Choose a query (1-50): 14
Enter Volume name: 006200L6

+++-+--+---+---+---++
| jobid  | name   | starttime   | type | level | files

+++-+--+---+---+---++

The tapes were not manually updated to set their status to "Full".

Any ideas what is happening?

Thanks,

Mark

Re: [Bacula-users] restore raid array

[Jerry Lowry]

Josh,
Yes, I understand how the copy jobs works when the original job is
deleted.  What I need to do is rebuild the client directories with the
backup database using the latest offsite backup, if possible.  I don't want
to restore the backup for the client, I want to rebuild the data in the
directories so that a restore can be done from there.  Hope that makes
since.  I know that I can use the offsite backups to restore the client
data. I want to know if I can rebuild what would be the initial backup of
the volume.

thanks,
jerry

Well,  The raid was (8) 6TB disks attached to an ATTO Tech raid 
controller in a supermicro cabinet. It was setup as a raid-5 disk 
array.  The ATTO support group know how it was configured as they have 
been helping me since Thursday.  The raid setup is not the problem, 
that can be rebuilt to duplicate the on disk file structure. Bacula 
was using this raid array as storage for different clients in my 
network. Each client had a directory on the array and with in each 
directory there were anywhere from 3 bacula volumes to 8 volumes. Each 
volume held any where from 250 GB to 320 GB. Two of the clients would 
have an offsite backup done each week. A Bacula copy job would run 
each week and copy that weeks backups on to a hot swap raid disk 
running on the same system. The system was the Director and Storage 
director combined.
What I want to do is to restore the daily volumes into the new raid 
array from the offsite disks from the most recent offsite backups. 
Will any of the bacula utilities enable me to do this?



No special tools are needed. If the original volume files no longer 
exist, then the volumes (and their jobs) can be deleted from the catalog 
using 'delete volume'. When bacula finds a Copy of a job when a Job is 
deleted from the catalog, then it will automatically promote the Copy as 
the real backup for that job so that subsequent restores use the 
promoted copy rather than the original. The Copy literally replaces the 
original and the original ceases to exist. At that point, a normal 
restore will automatically use those promoted volumes. You should ensure 
that those promoted volumes are marked as Used so that no jobs will 
attempt to write to them.


If auto-labeling is being used, then jobs should create new volumes as 
needed when they run. If not, then you will manually create new empty 
volume files in the client directories and label them using the Label 
command from bconsole.





Thanks,
jerry

In ordert to be able to answer this question, anyone here would
need to
know a lot more about how your RAID was set up.  But you're probably a
lot better off asking for help from whoever made the tools you used to
build it, or community forums for them.  They'll need to know what you
built it with too.

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula-enterprise-win64-7.4.4 <> bacula-win64-9.2.2 with bacula server upgrade 7.4.4 to 9.2.2

Hello Olivier

I also had the same problem, but after a full backup it returned to normal
behavior

[Bacula-users] bacula-enterprise-win64-7.4.4 <> bacula-win64-9.2.2 with bacula server upgrade 7.4.4 to 9.2.2

[Olivier Delestre]

Hi,

Recently, i upgrade my bacula server 7.4.7 to 9.2.2
Alls works fine.

Yesterday , i upgrade a windows client enterprise 7.4.4 to bacula 9.2.2.

But , i have a strange result. The incremental is too long . it's not 
normal.

on a small volumetry, it does not show but it is several To ( The Full 7To )

can there be a difference in behavior between these two versions ( 
enterprise 7.4.4 and bacula-win64-9.2.2  )?


I return with the client 7.4.4 :(
