[Bacula-users] Bacula 9.44 Aligned -Disk Driver Not Working

2019-07-11 Thread J W

I just installed Bacula 9.44 Community and am backing up to a ZFS drive. It
works fine with a regular setup.

If I switch to using the Aligned device type then I get the error below. I
switched back to a regular setup but would like to use deduplication since
it would save me a lot of space because my full backups are 5 TB but most
of the files are not changing between ful backups.
-
 Device "Aligned-Disk" requested by DIR could not be opened or does not
exist.
11-Jul 09:29 jw-sd JobId 13: Error: [SE0003] Lookup of symbol
"BaculaSDdriver" in driver Aligned-Disk for device /opt/bacula/plugins/
bacula-sd-aligned-driver-9.4.4.so failed: ERR=/opt/bacula/plugins/
bacula-sd-aligned-driver-9.4.4.so: undefined symbol: BaculaSDdriver
---
My OS is latest Centos 7. I installed Bacula from the Bacula 9.4.4 repo. It
appeared to install the plugin successfuly. Yum shows it as installed. It
seems like Bacula is finding it since it lists the correct path to the
plugin.

I set up Bacula for deduplication using the directions at
http://www.bacula.lat/block-level-deduplication-with-aligned-volumes-tutorial-bacula-7-9-9-0-and-above/?lang=en.
See my device entry quoted further down below.

I ran a few programs on the plugin to show the symbols but they do not show
BaculaSDdriver in the plugin. I do not really know what I am doing with
that. I also looked at the plugin itself for text with this value but did
not see it.

I saw a post (wsee below) where someone has the same problem with 9.4.3. I
could not figure out how to reply to that post since I just joined the
bacula-users list today.

Any idea how to fix this problem or if it is a bug?

Thanks,
Joe

BCloud is indeed a interesting multi-tenant GUI that allows 100% self-service 
backup (BaaS) with Bacula, since the clients download until the restore. 
I published a paper about it this year:

I've compiled it on one machine and just copied it over the others.
What's blocking you from doing this?

Actually there is a simplest way to do all of this using the Enterprise
version :

  * BCloud service plugin allows a lot of things including setting up
backups from the client side through a web GUI
  * Tray Monitor: same
  * Mac OSX file daemons are ready to go.

You might also want to investigate the followings:

  * DHCP triggering scripts when a client asks for a lease

(https://jpmens.net/2011/07/06/execute-a-script-when-isc-dhcp-hands-out-a-new-lease/)
  * Bacula scripting features (before / after) => See Run Script in the
main manual
  * Admin Jobs testing the presence of a machine and the enable /
disable job feature => See Admin Jobs in bacula documentation
  * and certainly many others I don't have in mind just right now

You can schedule on the Director, and have these directives: 

" Reschedule On Error = yes|no If this directive is enabled, and the job 
terminates in error, the job will be rescheduled as determined by the 
Reschedule Interval and Reschedule Times directives. If you cancel the job, it 
will not be rescheduled. The default is no (i.e. the job will not be 
rescheduled). 

This specification can be useful for portables, laptops, or other machines that 
are not always connected to the network or switched on. 

Reschedule Incomplete Jobs = yes|no 

If this directive is enabled, and the job terminates in incomplete status, the 
job will be rescheduled as determined by the Reschedule Interval and Reschedule 
Times directives. If you cancel the job, it will not be rescheduled. The 
default is yes (i.e. Incomplete jobs will be rescheduled). 

Reschedule Interval = time-specification If you have specified Reschedule On 
Error = yes and the job terminates in error, it will be rescheduled after the 
interval of time specified by time-specification . See the time specification 
formatsTime in the Configure chapter for details of time specifications. If no 
interval is specified, the job will not be rescheduled on error. The default 
Reschedule Interval is 30 minutes (1800 seconds). 

Reschedule Times = count This directive specifies the maximum number of times 
to reschedule the job. If it is set to zero (the default) the job will be 
rescheduled an indefinite number of times." 
[https://www.bacula.org/9.2.x-manuals/en/main/Configuring_Director.html#10256] 

It will retry in case machine is not on. 
Instead of all this, you could have a console in each client and/or tray 
monitor to start jobs from the Client machine, via script or user action. 

>1. The IP addresses - again one could try to fix client's IP address or

You could use Static DNS which uses the MAC address to fix an IP for each 
client machine. 
There is also a setip console command: 

" setip Sets new client address - if authorized. 

A console is authorized to use the SetIP command only if it has a Console 
resource definition in both the Director and the Console. In addition, if the 
console name, provided on the Name = directive, must be the same as a Client 
name, the user of that console is permitted to use the SetIP command to change 
the Address directive in the Director's client resource to the IP address of 
the Console. This permits portables or other machines using DHCP (non-fixed IP 
addresses) to "notify" the Director of their current IP address."
