Steve Polyack wrote: I've recently enabled spooling on a storage director by turning it on in the Director and Storage sections of the dir's config.

I've set SpoolData = no in the job, but this doesn't help. It appears that this is overwritten by the schedule's SpoolData=yes setting. Is the only solution to NOT set the spooling flag in the schedule, and instead set it in every Job? This seems counter-intuitive, but it may make sense in other circumstances. As far as I know, options given in the schedule always override options given in the job defs. You could, as you suggest, set it in every job and make no mention of it in the schedule. Another possibility is to create a different schedule for the job(s) where you want spooling turned off. -- Come build with us!

Re: [Bacula-users] simple (?) mount/unmount of USB storage device
Michael FIG wrote:
Hi,
I'm a long-term Bacula user, having used it for file and DVD volume
backups in the past. I'm scratching my head over what seems like a
really simple requirement, but I can't for the life of me figure it
out right now.
I have a large external USB drive on which I want to write file
volumes, by mounting it as /var/lib/bacula/media
I have everything working to create and rotate files in the
/var/lib/bacula/media directory, but I want to leave the drive
unmounted (and thereby less liable to corruption) as often as
possible, so that bacula-sd mounts it as /var/lib/bacula/media to do
the backup, and umounts it when the backup is finished.
I've been messing around with the autochanger scripts, but just don't
understand them enough to put something this simple together.
Anybody out there have a suggestion for what to do?
Thanks,
An autochanger config is probably overkill. You can implement autofs as
John already suggested, or you can use the Mount Command, Unmount
Command (et. al.) directives in your Device resource:
http://www.bacula.org/3.0.x-manuals/en/install/install/Storage_Daemon_Configuratio.html#SECTION0083
Mine looks like this:
Device {
Name = BackupDrive
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /media/backup/volumes
Mount Point = /media/backup
Mount Command = /bin/mount %m
Unmount Command = /bin/umount %m
Requires Mount = yes
LabelMedia = yes
Random Access = Yes
AutomaticMount = yes
RemovableMedia = yes
AlwaysOpen = no
Offline On Unmount = Yes
}
Note that there is a bug in 3.0.2 that prevents Bacula from calling the
unmount command for file resources. It's fixed in the git repository,
but I don't know if the fix made it into 3.0.3.

If I pretend to preserve Files for 30 days, Jobs for 60 days.. so When my big volume will be marked as Full or Used to be able to get recycled? These are my Pool and Clients configurations: Bacula's retention times for volumes are based on the date the volume was last written. So, every time Bacula writes a backup job to a volume, your 15-day retention clock starts over from zero. As long as your volume's status is Append, bacula will keep writing to it. With a physical, magnetic tape volume, you will eventually reach the end of the tape, Bacula will mark the volume FULL, and move on to the next volume. With logical (disk file) volumes, there is no natural limit on the size of the volume other than the size of the underlying disk partition. Since you probably don't want Bacula to fill up your entire partition, you need to place an artificial limit on the size of your volumes. There are several directives you can include in your Pool definition which will accomplish this: Maximum Volume Jobs Maximum Volume Files Maximum Volume Bytes Volume Use Duration See the manual for full details: http://www.bacula.org/3.0.x-manuals/en/install/install/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION00615 - Cedric -- Come build with us!

The documentation says that version 1.36 suported incremental backups. Do I something wrong? Daemons which are different major versions (the x in version x.y.z) are generally considered to be incompatible with each other. SOMETIMES you get lucky and can squeeze some limited functionality out of such a setup, but eventually you will try to do something which fails for reasons which otherwise make no sense. This seems to be exactly what you're experiencing. So short answer: ignore the error message. Your 2.4.4 daemon is not fully compatible with 1.36.6 FD. - Cedric -- Come build with us!

When you say the time stamp is correct you're probably only looking at the modification time (mtime) of the file. By default, Bacula uses both the mtime AND the ctime (Change Time) of a file to determine its effective timestamp. Try using the stat command to check the ctime on a couple of your files. - Cedric -- Come build with us!

Re: [Bacula-users] Encryption and hardware compression
Cedric Tefft wrote: Markus Falb wrote: Eric Böse-Wolf wrote: Vladimir Doisan vdoi...@giantmarkets.com writes: If you turn TLS and file encryption - the data will be double encrypted If I only turn on file encryption, then the data goes encrypted over the wire or the air, but what is not encrypted? For example what's with the connection cookie the director presents the [FS]D (don't know exactly)? Same Question here! In other words: If i do Data Encryption, is it safe to avoid the double encryption by disabling TLS for File Daemon to Storage Daemon Network Communication ? As I understand it, data encryption (as the manual uses the term) means the FD encrypts the CONTENTS of every file before it's sent to the SD. The SD then stores each file to the backup media as-is (in its encrypted form). No decryption (or encryption for that matter) is done by the SD. File metadata (filename, path, size, permissions, etc.) are not encrypted, nor are any other aspects of the communication between the FD and SD (commands, negotiation, etc.). TLS encryption refers to encryption of the communication channel between the various daemons -- in this case, we're concerned with the communication channel between the SD and FD. With TLS encryption the FD encrypts everything it sends to the SD (file contents, metadata, commands, etc.) , but unlike data encryption the SD decrypts everything at the other end. If you are not also using data encryption your files get written to the backup media UNencrypted. So the answer to your question depends on which pieces of your backup scheme you consider to be insecure. If you're worried about someone getting hold of your backup media, you need data encryption. If you're worried about someone eavesdropping on communications between the FD and SD, you need TLS encryption. And obviously, if you're worried about both, you need both. Actually, now that I re-read it, I realize that last bit was a little misleading, so I'll try to clarify: If you're using data encryption ONLY (i.e. not in conjunction with TLS encryption), anyone who can eavesdrop on the communication between your SD and FD will NOT have access to the unencrypted contents of your files. However, he WILL have access to the names of those files as well as size, permissions, timestamp, etc. If that doesn't concern you, data encryption alone might be what you want, although I'd recommend you think very carefully before going that route. A sophisticated hacker could potentially use the unencrypted metadata as the basis of an attack. - Cedric -- Come build with us!

Re: [Bacula-users] How can I identifying slack in backup volumes?
Ben Beuchler wrote: I'm doing disk-to-disk backups. Since backup sets fluctuate in size quite a bit, it's hard to tell how many volumes may be available to be recycled. This makes it difficult to tell when I need to add additional disks. As it stands, I may have hit a peak in backup size several months ago and may now have many volumes that are not necessary to meet my retention requirements. I'm not positive but I THINK what you're asking for is a way to determine which volumes are older than their retention times and are therefore eligible for pruning and recycling. This should just be a matter of querying the database. For instance, this query shows you which volumes in the 'Default' pool are old enough to be pruned/recycled: mysql select Pool.Name as POOL, Media.VolumeName, Media.VolBytes, FROM_UNIXTIME(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(Media.LastWritten)+Media.VolRetention) as EXPIRED from Pool LEFT JOIN Media ON Media.PoolId=Pool.PoolId where Name='Default' and FROM_UNIXTIME(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(Media.LastWritten)+Media.VolRetention) = NOW() order by EXPIRED; +-++-+-+ | POOL| VolumeName | VolBytes| EXPIRED | +-++-+-+ | Default | TAPE07 | 20946014208 | 2009-08-28 13:31:04 | | Default | TAPE14 | 20593843200 | 2009-09-03 10:04:21 | | Default | TAPE13 | 20034846720 | 2009-09-03 16:18:50 | | Default | TAPE09 | 17308247040 | 2009-09-03 19:03:16 | | Default | TAPE02 | 17353792512 | 2009-09-03 21:53:28 | | Default | TAPE08 | 18065359872 | 2009-09-07 13:02:19 | | Default | TAPE15 | 27043043328 | 2009-10-01 09:08:56 | | Default | TAPE11 | 18494300160 | 2009-10-01 13:00:32 | +-++-+-+ 8 rows in set (0.00 sec) With a little SQL knowledge you should be able to rework this into whatever form you need. - Cedric -- Come build with us!

But still many clients share the Storages and must wait for each other. I noticed each job goes through two phases: running phase (aquiring data from client) and Dir inserting attribures phase (DIA). In DIA phase job still blocks the Storage but actualy it does not need it more. Is it possible to avoid that? Some asynchronous catalog inserting or some feature in 3.0?

Re: [Bacula-users] Unchanged files still saved in incremental backup

Since you say that your file was NOT backed up on 9/15 and 9/16, my guess is that some application may be opening the file for writing without actually making a change. Whatever application is responsible for that probably wasn't running on 9/15 and 9/16. No. The history posted by Le Dahut does not end on 9/17. Beginning from 17/09, all files are backed up every day with incremental backup whatever the mod date is (I have some files that has not been modified since 2k8 and bacula backup these files every day). Run stat on one of those older files. Look at the ctime. Is it very recent -- perhaps a day or less? By default, bacula uses both the mtime and ctime of a file to determine if it has been changed.

I'm backing up about 30 servers ( 1Tb of info), and despite it all works, this problem is breaking my head a couple of times a month. I'm planning a scheme of jobs as follows: 1 Full on the first Sunday of each month, 1 Differential on the others Sundays, and 1 Incremental every other days. It has happened on more than one occasion for various reasons, that some of the backups took longer than expected (especially on a weekend when differentials are made). This produces a chain reaction as a task that took more than a day keeps the remaining tasks of the day and late start, and the next day tasks still later and everything is delayed until manually cancel all tasks that in my opinion are useless. One consequence of this is that the next Monday at time when all servers are in critical use, bacula continues making delayed copies, significantly reducing the performance of servers, therefore the quality of service, and producing simultaneously the backup tasks take longer to complete (further fueling the chain reaction). My question is whether there is any configuration parameter, allowing Bacula automatically cancel a daily job, if it is not executed within 24 hours following initial planned time. http://bacula.org/3.0.x-manuals/en/concepts/concepts/New_Features.html#SECTION00310 -- Come build with us!

Also, I'd be interested to know if the missing job records really and truly are not there, or if the error report itself is bogus.

If you explicitly specify Level = level in your Job (or JobDefs) resource, then it will default to that level. If you DON'T specify the level in Job or JobDefs, then it will use the implicit default which is Incremental. In the console, you have the option to override the level every time you invoke the run command -- I don't know about webacula. - Cedric -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Re: [Bacula-users] allways full even if incremental
Troy Daniels wrote: Hi, Actually bacula uses ctime by default, not mtime. Actually under the 'Level = Incremental' section of the page you linked it states: The File daemon (Client) decides which files to backup for an Incremental backup by comparing start time of the prior Job (Full, Differential, or Incremental) against the time each file was last modified (st_mtime) and the time its attributes were last changed(st_ctime). If the file was modified or its attributes changed on or after this start time, it will then be backed up. So we were both right almost :) Fair enough. One possibility which occurs to me is that there may be some kind of time synchronization problem between the director and the client. I suspect the problem as described could be a result of the client's clock being too far ahead of the director's. I would suggest verifying the client and director's clocks more or less agree. This may be a non-obvious issue if the client and director are in different time zones -- or, more to the point, if one of them is in the wrong timezone. I've seen Bacula compensate for different clock times on servers a few seconds/minutes apart - it logs a line at the top of the job saying it's doing so. Ah, interesting. I use ntp on all my systems, so I've never seen that message. Anyway, it occurred to me that simply picking a file on the client that is getting backed up repeatedly and doing a stat on it might be informative if the problem is time or timestamp related: Stat shows you the mtime, ctime, and atime (among other things): stat myfile File: `myfile' Size: 11603298Blocks: 22664 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: fe03h/65027dInode: 810095 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 500/ cedric) Gid: ( 500/ cedric) Access: 2009-08-19 23:04:07.0 -0700 Modify: 2002-02-09 04:55:02.0 -0700 Change: 2009-08-19 23:04:07.721728624 -0700 In particular, doing a stat on the same file immediately before, and again immediately after a backup might reveal something. - Cedric -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Re: [Bacula-users] How does work a FULL Backup not correctly ending ?
pierre1106 wrote: Hello, i've got a little problem with my bacula server and Full backup : i have a remote client on a 10 Mbits line (optical fiber) with a lot to backup (more than 30 Gb) and a time frame to do this backup relatively short comparatively (10 hours) My main problem is that I can't terminated correctly a full backup. I know that i've got to change either the line or the date size to backup but my question is how a full backup is working in this case ? Does the next time that the full backup will try to run (and fail), will it be doing it from the starting point or will it restart from the last time it failed ? In other words, will it do a complete full backup at every try or sort of an incremental of the failed full until the full backup is done correctly ? Thanks. No, it will try to do a complete full backup every time. This is clearly explained in the FAQ http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Bacula_Freque_Asked_Questi.html#SECTION003721 : Before doing an Incremental or a Differential backup, Bacula checks to see if there was a prior Full backup of the same Job *that terminated successfully*. If so, it uses the date that full backup started as the time for comparing if files have changed. If Bacula does not find a *successful* full backup, it proceeds to do one. One possible workaround would be to break your single backup job into several smaller jobs, each of which can be completed within your 10-hour window. - Cedric -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Actually bacula uses ctime by default, not mtime. According to the documentation for File Set options ( http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/install/install/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION0067 ), if you set keepatime=yes WITHOUT also setting mtimeonly=yes, bacula will back up every file every time, even for incrementals.

You probably want separate pools for each retention period, so...

days
* the last 4 sundays: Define a WeeklyPool pool with VolumeRetention = 4
weeks
etc.
The schedule you described above is a little strange given that five of the
twelve months of the year do not even have a 31st day. Anyway, here's a
schedule that is similar to what I THINK you are trying to achieve without
being overly complex. Obviously, this is just a starting point.

Re: [Bacula-users] How could I exlude files greater than a specific filesize from a backup?
You might be able to accomplish this with a short script that identifies
the large files, run it before every backup, and use its output as an
include list for your large-files job and an exclude list for your
small-files job.
Here is an example for which I've assumed your users are backing up
their data to /home and your definition of a large file is anything
larger than 1GB. Obviously, you should adjust these details fit your
situation.
Anyway, the script might look something like this:
#!/bin/sh
# generate_large_file_list.sh: Generates a list of files under /home
larger than 1GB
find /home -size +1G /etc/bacula/largefiles.lst
Include a RunBeforeJob directive in the job definitions for both your
large-files and small-files jobs
RunBeforeJob = /path/to/generate_large_file_list.sh
Your large-files File Set would use the generated list as the primary
file list, like this:
FileSet {
Name = LargeFiles
Include {
Options {
...
}
File = /etc/bacula/largefiles.lst
}
}
And the small-files File Set would do the reverse -- it would use the
same list to tell bacula what NOT to back up, like this:
FileSet {
Name = SmallFiles
Include {
Options {
...
}
File = /home
}
Exclude {
File = /etc/bacula/largefiles.lst
}
}

Now I'm thinking of writing two backup Jobs with their own schedules.
One for file smaller than a specific some with is run more frequently
than the other job which backups only files that are bigger than that
specific size.
I knew that a complete recovery in this case for a complete directory
is more difficult, but with these split jobs the needed amount of
backup space will be much smaller than now.

It acknowledges that the tape is mounted and correctly reports the label, BUT director keeps squarking for hours for an appendable tape. Where this happens is on full backup day when the final FULL job gets delayed until a DIFF job gets started because it has higher priority. If I cancel the DIFF job, then Bacula gets hopelessly muddled and screwed up and fails to recognise the mounted FULL tape as appendable. Nothing short of a complete reboot of the machine (involdes dir, sd fd) will fix this foul up. What is wrong in the programming that it persists in rejecting the tape?

Re: [Bacula-users] feature suggestion: convert old full backups to reverse incremental backups
Good idea. Gavin McCullagh wrote: Hi, I'm not sure if this suggestion is well-known already, implemented already or maybe just a plain stupid idea that wouldn't work. So, I'm going to suggest it and don my flame-retardant suit. Feel free to flame or shoot it down. Suppose I do monthly full backups with differentials and incrementals in between. I'd like to hold onto many years of monthly snapshots. A file which is in the backups unchanged the entire time will be duplicated 12 times each year. This is kind of wasteful and will be expensive. What I'd prefer to do is keep a series of full backups (say 6 months worth) and keep monthly incrementals or differentials which allow me to get back to earlier snapshots. I think this might be doable by, every month, running a (new?) type of migrate job which takes the oldest two full datasets (fb_t0 and fb_t1) and creates an incremental dataset (ib_t1t0) which, applied to fb_t1 would give the older dataset. You would then recycle the fb_t0 dataset but the full data would still be available via the incrementals. A month later the same process would happen with fb_t1 and fb_t2. fb_t0 would then be available via fb_t2, ib_t1t0, ib_t2t1. Over the years, making your way back to the start would become a longer and longer process, but at least it would still be possible. This seems somewhat similar to the new virtual backup feature (which is a brilliant one, might I add).

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula thinks empty tapes are full
Before you start forcibly changing bacula's notion of what tapes are full and what tapes are empty, you might want to try to figure out WHY bacula thinks your empty tapes are full. I'm certainly no expert, but my guess would be that this is a symptom of a larger problem. I noticed all your non-empty empty tapes aren't JUST marked as full, Bacula thinks they all have around 60MB worth of data on them, and they were all written to (again as far as bacula is concerned) within the space of about an hour. Are your tapes in a changer? Is it possible they were used without your knowledge? I have no idea what's going on -- my point is only that telling bacula to treat the tapes as empty is probably more of a workaround than an actual solution for whatever caused them to be marked as full in the first place. Personally, I would try running query #13 or 14 to see what jobs (if any) bacula thinks is on those tapes. Anyway, to answer your question more directly, you can try pruning the offending volumes (use the prune command in the bacula console). If that doesn't work, try purging them (again, the obvious: use the purge command), and if THAT fails, use the update command to directly change the tapes' status. - Cedric Edward Aronyk wrote: Hey All, I've been using Bacula to backup 7 or 8 servers for a while now and have been fairly pleased.

My boss would like the tapes encrypted as there may be confidential data on the tapes so encrypting the tapes is a requirement for him. Is there any way that I could keep the bacula catalog unencrypted on the same tape? Is this possible to specify in the config files? Or is this being illogical as then anyone can restore the data if they have knowledge on bacula even if the other contents on the tape is encrypted...or is just sending a dump of the bacula catalog via email or to an off site location the only option if we encrypt the tape Many thanks in advance t. Either you're confused about how encryption works or I'm confused about your question. In order to encrypt (or decrypt) your data you need encryption keys. Encryption keys are a bit like passwords, except that they're a little bit too long and complex for humans to remember, so we generally store them in files. They have nothing to do with your catalog which is basically just a LIST of files you've backed up to tape. An unencrypted copy of your catalog does not allow you decrypt the encrypted data on your tapes. For that, you need the encryption keys. I think what you want to do is copy your encryption keys to some type of portable media (USB drive, CD, etc.) and store them in a SECURE off-site location, but -- and here is the important part -- SEPARATE from where you store your tapes. A safe-deposit box at a bank is a typical example. Anyone who has your encrypted tapes AND your encryption keys has your data, so you need to make sure only trusted individuals have access to both. For added security, I'd suggest you wrap your off-site encryption keys in another layer of encryption. Using PGP (or GPG) to conventionally encrypt the key files before writing them to the USB/CD would be a good example -- just make sure you don't forget your password! - Cedric -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

I’ll paste the bacula-dir.conf and the bacula-fd.conf from the client. Version incompatibility?? I see your director is v3.0.1. What version of the FD are you running on the Windows box? If it is not at least 3.0 you might need to upgrade. A couple more things to try: run the FD on the Windows box with debugging turned on (try adding -d 200 to the command-line). The debugging output may be more helpful. Also, just for grins, I would try temporarily disabling the Windows box's other network card -- whichever one bacula is not connecting to.

[Bacula-users] Howto make bacula unmount a disk after backup?
From: Adam ald.b...@go... - 2009-08-24 23:10
I have looked at bug report 830 on the bug reports list and it would
appear
that it has not been fixed. I am using version 3.0.2 of Bacula with the
following device configuration. The device is not unmounted after the
job is
executed.
Device {
Name = USBBackup1
Media Type = ExtUSB
Device Type = File
LabelMedia = yes
Random Access = yes
Requires Mount = yes
Removable Media = yes
AlwaysOpen = yes
Mount Point = /dev/disk/by-label/usb-backup-1
Mount Command = /bin/mount %m
Unmount Command = /bin/umount %m
Archive Device = /mnt/usb-backup-1/backup
Maximum File Size = 10485760
}
Regards,
Adam
From what I can tell, I'm having exactly the same problem. I am also
running 3.0.2. As a test, I tried logging calls to the mount and
unmount commands with wrapper scripts like so:
Device {
Name = BackupDrive
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /mnt/backup/volumes
Mount Point = /mnt/backup
Mount Command = /etc/bacula/mount-wrapper %m
Unmount Command = /etc/bacula/umount-wrapper %m
Requires Mount = yes
LabelMedia = yes
Random Access = Yes
AutomaticMount = yes
RemovableMedia = yes
AlwaysOpen = no
Offline On Unmount = Yes # Also tried no
}
The wrappers are pretty much what you would expect:
# cat /etc/bacula/umount-wrapper
#!/bin/sh
echo umount-wrapper called as $0 $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9
/tmp/mount.log
/bin/umount $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9 /tmp/mount.log 21
+++
# cat /etc/bacula/mount-wrapper
#!/bin/sh
echo mount-wrapper called as $0 $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9 /tmp/mount.log
/bin/mount $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9 /tmp/mount.log 21
+++
After running a couple of backup jobs, I looked at the mount log:
# cat /tmp/mount.log
mount-wrapper called as /etc/bacula/mount-wrapper /mnt/backup
mount-wrapper called as /etc/bacula/mount-wrapper /mnt/backup
It appears bacula calls the mount command as expected, but it never
calls the unmount command. Not only does it not do it automatically
after a backup job completes, it doesn't even do it on an explicit
umount issued from the console.
Like you, I looked at bug 830 ( http://bugs.bacula.org/view.php?id=830 )
which was closed as fixed on 2007-07-16 with the comment:: Fixed in
current SVN. You must have the appropriate Mount/Unmount commands
defined in the Device resource and you must declare the device as
removable otherwise Bacula will not try to mount/unmount it.
Am I missing something? Is there some reason bug 830 should NOT be
reopened?

I'd like to write an SQL query to extract some information from the

developers guide that the File table has a field named LStat that

dates are in there, but how do I deal with the base64 bit?
A typical entry looks like this:
P0A HL4KO IHk B A A A BdD BAA Y BEU0tK BEHwQV BEHwQV A A C
Thanks,
Mark
Anyone?
I've got about half an answer for 'ya.
The database entry appears to be a series of base-64 encoded values
corresponding to the fields of a UNIX stat structure (plus a couple
extra bits), which 'man lstat' says is:
struct stat {
dev_t st_dev; /* ID of device containing file */
ino_t st_ino; /* inode number */
mode_tst_mode;/* protection */
nlink_t st_nlink; /* number of hard links */
uid_t st_uid; /* user ID of owner */
gid_t st_gid; /* group ID of owner */
dev_t st_rdev;/* device ID (if special file) */
off_t st_size;/* total size, in bytes */
blksize_t st_blksize; /* blocksize for filesystem I/O */
blkcnt_t st_blocks; /* number of blocks allocated */
time_tst_atime; /* time of last access */
time_tst_mtime; /* time of last modification */
time_tst_ctime; /* time of last status change */
};
Therefore, from your example, P0A is the base64-encoded value of
st_dev, HL4KO is the base64-encoded value of st_ino, etc.
So, if you're after the modification time (st_mtime) of your file, you
should theoretically just have to base64 decode the string BEHwQV to
get back a standard UNIX timestamp value (seconds since Jan 1, 1970).
Exactly how you go about doing a base64 decode is, of course, the other
half of the answer which I'm far too lazy to go into here, but Google
should be able to take you the rest of the way, and if you're a C
programmer, the bacula source code itself (in particular
src/lib/base64.c) should be helpful.

In one case the poster reported that it took over an hour for Bacula just to pull the LIST of files out of the database. If your installation is large enough, you can end up with a catalog that is unwieldy, if not outright unmanageable. Splitting the data up into multiple catalogs is one way to address this problem. - Cedric --- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Re: [Bacula-users] case insensitive query
Mark Nienberg wrote: I'm using Bacula to back up a Linux Samba fileserver among other machines. Of course the clients to the fileserver are windows machines and they don't care about case in filenames. They create all sorts of case combinations like document1.doc, Document2.DOC and so on. My most common restore scenario is when someone deletes or corrupts a file and asks me to restore a previous version of it. The easiest way to do this in the console is (I think) to use the query command option 2 List Jobs where a given File is saved, and then pick an appropriate jobID to restore from based on date of backup. The problem is that the search for the filename is case sensitive (the MySQL field is type binary) so it is hard to guess what filename to enter. I wonder if I could use option 4 Enter SQL list command to do a case-insensitive search. Any suggestions on what this SQL command would look like for MySQL? Or is there a better way to do this? Add this query to your query.sql file: # 18 - case insensitive version of query #2 :List up to 20 places where a File is saved regardless of the directory (case insensitive): *Enter Filename (no path): SELECT DISTINCT Job.JobId as JobId, Client.Name as Client, Path.Path,Filename.Name,StartTime,Level,JobFiles,JobBytes FROM Client,Job,File,Filename,Path WHERE Client.ClientId=Job.ClientId AND JobStatus='T' AND Job.JobId=File.JobId AND Path.PathId=File.PathId AND Filename.FilenameId=File.FilenameId AND convert(Filename.Name USING latin1)='%1' ORDER BY Job.StartTime LIMIT 20; Now, instead of picking query #2, pick query #18 (or whatever is the last one on the list). It works exactly like query #2, but it's case insensitive. I suspect you'll need at least mysql 4.0 or better for this to work, and it's rather slow, but it should do the trick. - Cedric --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

From your original report, the last line in the log file before the crash was about Resetting previous configuration, so it would appear the problem is not so much in the reload command, but in bacula's attempt to revert to the previous config. This does look like a bug, and you can report it as such (go to http://bugs.bacula.org), but it's a bug that would only occur when your config file is invalid, so my suspicion is that it may not be at the top of Kern's to do list.

Of course, any change I make has a good chance of preventing the segfault, so I'm not sure if this proves anything, but here 'ya go: I spaced the three jobs out to start one minute apart and changed the file sets to back up more data (enough to make the backup jobs take about ten minutes to run). This ensured the Python init scripts wouldn't run at the same time, but made sure that (after the third minute) all three jobs would be active (running or waiting) at the same time. Sure enough, the segfault was prevented, however I'm not sure if this was because there was only one instance of Python running at any given time or because I'd simply perturbed the race condition.

[Bacula-users] Variable expansion with padding and increment
Hi all -
I've having trouble with variable expansion. I can get it to do padding
and I can get it to do autoincrement, but I can't figure out how to do
both in the same operation.
Here's the scenario:
I've been using Bacula for a couple years, but up to now I've been
labeling tapes manually. Now I'm trying to set up automatic tape
labeling. My tape names look like TAPE01, TAPE02, etc. so I obviously
want to continue labeling them with that format. Unfortunately, I can't
use the built-in NumVols because some earlier tapes have been destroyed,
so the number of volumes in the pool no longer coincides with the next
tape number. I've got a database counter defined in bacula-dir.conf
Counter {
Name = DefaultPoolCounter
Minimum=1
Catalog=MyCatalog
}
The padding seems to work OK:
# var TAPE${DefaultPoolCounter:p/2/0/r}
TAPE02
And the autoincrement seems to work OK
#var TAPE${DefaultPoolCounter+}
TAPE2
#var TAPE${DefaultPoolCounter+}
TAPE3
But when I try to do both in the same operation, the counter is
incremented, but the padding specifier is not honored. It's printed
literally:
#var ${DefaultPoolCounter+:p/2/0/r}
TAPE3p/2/0/r}
#var ${DefaultPoolCounter+:p/2/0/r}
TAPE4p/2/0/r}
I've tried the '+' sign in various places...
#var ${DefaultPoolCounter:p/2/0/r+}
#var ${DefaultPoolCounter:p/2/0/r}+
#var ${DefaultPoolCounter:+p/2/0/r}
all to no avail.
What am I doing wrong?
- Cedric
