[Bacula-users] [Solved] Re: Create new volume vs. recycle volume (with config)
There were still volumes in my pool that were marked recycle=yes.
Removing the recycle flag from all volumes triggered the creation of new
filenames for each server and backup job.
Just changing the recycle flag to "no" in the configuration didn't solve
the problem.
Thanks for the help!

Wouldn't the volume retention period need to be shorter?
The catalog is exhibiting the correct file naming behavior:
BackupCatalog.2009-12-10_03.10.22-2917
BackupCatalog.2009-12-09_03.10.15-2913
BackupCatalog.2009-12-08_03.10.08-2909
Etc.
My server backup files are reusing old files.
Last night's run includes files like:
Backup_Server2.2009-08-09_01.05.27-Differential-17715
Backup_Server3.2009-08-09_01.05.24-Differential-17711
Backup_Server3.2009-08-09_01.05.24-Differential-17712
All with filesystem dates of early today. (2009-12-10)

I do have a cronjob that deletes old file. My volume list (in the
console) is huge, though. I guess I need to prune my catalog.

[Bacula-users] Create new volume vs. recycle volume
I've re-read the section on volume retention and volume recycling but
I'm still confused.
My backup files are being reused even though my director is configured
to create new files. Backups are working on schedule but my secondary,
rsync-based backup is failing because the filenames and filesizes
haven't changed.
I did recently change the value of Recycle back to no.
Pool {
Name = Default
Label Format = "${JobName}-${Level}-${NumVols}"
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = no
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Use Volume Once = yes
Volume Retention = 25 days # one year
MaximumVolumeBytes = 512m
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
}
`show pools` within the console looks right:
Pool: name=Default PoolType=Backup
use_cat=1 use_once=1 cat_files=1
max_vols=0 auto_prune=1 VolRetention=25 days
VolUse=0 secs recycle=0 LabelFormat=${JobName}-${Level}-${NumVols}
CleaningPrefix=*None* LabelType=0
RecyleOldest=0 PurgeOldest=0
MaxVolJobs=1 MaxVolFiles=0 MaxVolBytes=0
MigTime=0 secs MigHiBytes=0 MigLoBytes=0
The output of `list volumes` in the console shows the volumes are full
or used, not purged.
Do I need to manually mark each volume purged so bacula will start
creating new files? How can I get bacula to create new files with each
backup job?
Thanks!

My backups seem to be working as expected. bconsole is reporting *unknown* volume for scheduled jobs. Once the jobs run, they are stored in volumes according to the expected naming convention.

[Bacula-users] question about volume naming
Hello again ...
I've read and re-read the Basic Volume Management section of the bacula
manual today but I can't figure out why my scheduled jobs report one
volume name while my configuration indicates a different volume name.
bconsole -> status -> director gives me the following list of jobs
Scheduled Jobs:
Level Type Pri Scheduled Name
Volume
===
Differential Backup10 07-Aug-09 01:05Backup Nibbler
Backup_Nibbler.2009-08-06_01.05.02-Differential-17635
Differential Backup10 07-Aug-09 01:05Backup Zapp
Backup_Nibbler.2009-08-06_01.05.02-Differential-17635
Differential Backup10 07-Aug-09 01:05Backup Hypnotoad
Backup_Nibbler.2009-08-06_01.05.02-Differential-17635
All three scheduled jobs are using the same volume. My Pool definition,
though, looks like this:
Pool {
Name = LSIPool
Label Format = "${JobName}-${Level}-${NumVols}"
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = no
AutoPrune = yes
Use Volume Once = yes
Volume Retention = 25 days
# Accept Any Volume = yes
MaximumVolumeBytes = 512m
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
}
My Job definitions all look like this:
Job {
Name = "Backup Leela"
Type = Backup
Client = leela-fd
FileSet = "Full Set Leela"
Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
Storage = BenderStorage
Messages = Standard
Pool = LSIPool
Write Bootstrap = "/usr/local/bacula/var/bacula/working/leela.bsr"
}
That backup job should use the LSIPool pool. The LSIPool pool says
volumes should follow a naming convention that uses jobname as part of
the filename. ( jobname, in this case, would be "Backup Leela" ).
I've tried stopping and starting the director then checking the status
but the job list (and the volume list) remains unchanged.
Separate volumes per job were being used in previous jobs. I've
apparently changed something but I can't seem to determine *what* has
made the difference. The Pool and Job definitions look OK to me.
Thanks for any assistance. I've already put a dent in the desk where my
head keeps hitting it.

[Bacula-users] empty storage resource used for restore jobs
I've almost completed my upgrades from 1.36.3 to 2.4.1 but I've
encountered one last problem.
Backup jobs appear to run correctly. Restore jobs do not. (I can't be
100% sure about proper backup unless I can restore files.)
When using the (command-line) console to restore a file I get the
following error after marking files:
> Storage "" not found, using Storage "BenderStorage" from MediaType
"File".
The job preview looks like this:
Run Restore job
JobName: Restore Leela
Bootstrap: /var/lib/bacula/colo-dir.restore.1.bsr
Where: /tmp/bacula-restores
Replace: always
FileSet: Full Set Leela
Backup Client: leela-fd
Restore Client: leela-fd
Storage: BenderStorage
When:2009-08-05 12:02:55
Catalog: MyCatalog
Priority:10
OK to run? (yes/mod/no): yes
Job queued. JobId=11150
Everything there looks OK to me.
The console says the restore job has begun but files aren't actually
restored. The following message is displayed in the console:
> 05-Aug 12:03 colo-dir JobId 11150: Start Restore Job
Restore_Leela.2009-08-05_12.02.03
I can't see anything wrong with the restore job definition or the
storage definition.
bacula-dir.conf defines the Job and Storage as follows:
Job {
Name = "Restore Leela"
Type = Restore
Client = leela-fd
FileSet="Full Set Leela"
Storage = BenderStorage
Pool = LSIPool
Messages = Standard
Where = /tmp/bacula-restores
}
Storage {
Name = BenderStorage
Address = bender.lnstar.com
SDPort = 9103
Password = "samplepass"
Device = LSIBackup
Media Type = File
}
The device definition from bacula-sd.conf
Device {
Name = LSIBackup
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /home/bacula-data/LSI
LabelMedia = yes;
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes;
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}
I'm at a complete loss. Thanks for any help.

I just finished upgrading the director on host2 and I still get the same

Here's bacula-sd.conf on host2

SDPort = 9103
WorkingDirectory = "/var/lib/bacula"
Pid Directory = "/var/run"
}

[Bacula-users] zero-size catalog after upgrade
I did have one more problem with my recent upgrade from 1.36.3 to 2.4.1. I changed the RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob commands for the BackupCatalog job. When I ran the job this morning (after fixing a config error) it ran successfully. (At least, the console didn't report any errors. The job list from the console indicates success.) Now my BackupCatalog file is tiny when compared to previous files. I only have one 619kb file whereas the catalog file usually spans 3 or 4 512M files. Is there a config directive I should be examining? Brian Clarkson -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

I didn't think to include the file from host2 since it hasn't changed at
all. That installation is still at v1.36.3. It's in the upgrade queue.

[Bacula-users] FileStorage problems after upgrade
I upgraded our bacula install yesterday ( 1.36.3 to 2.4.1 ) and most
things are functioning as expected.
I'm having an issue with one backup job. I've searched the mailing list
archives for a solution but I haven't found anything that points me in
the right direction. I can connect to the remote machine from the
console but I can neither backup nor restore files.
The console gives me the following information about the error:
29-Jul 09:46 colo-dir JobId 11076: Start Backup JobId 11076,

[Bacula-users] prune files from backup
Good [localtime] I didn't get a directory into a server's Exclude section before a full backup ran. Now I have a rather large full backup that contains files that are backed up elsewhere (a large image directory). Is there any way to delete files from the backup after it has run? Thanks!
