Re: [Bacula-users] [EXTERNAL] SAS HBA support on Linux

[Clark, Patti via Bacula-users]

Try the hardware compatibility list for the card on Redhat's website.  Second 
choice, the manufacturer's website.  The issue is the driver.

My question (rhetorical), why do you want to use an OS that is recently 
released and still bleeding for a backup server?  I understand upgrade 
headaches, but backup servers need to be rock solid.

Hello,

Have any of you deployed RHEL 8/Centos 8 and would be willing to share what 
HBA card they are using?

Anyway, attempting to purchase HBA card and looking for a way to figure out 
what will work without having access to the tape library. Lets say that you 
don't have access to the tape device, but you have a server that have RHEL 8 
installed.  You plug in a SAS HBA card in the slot and bring it up and them on 
the console, you want to check if the card is supported by the operating system.

What would one check?   This is what I have done and not viable test 
without the storage system:

[root@eng-backup02 ~]# lsscsi -g
[0:2:0:0]diskDELL PERC H710P   3.13  /dev/sda   /dev/sg0 
[0:2:1:0]diskDELL PERC H710P   3.13  /dev/sdb   /dev/sg1 
[1:0:2:0]tapeIBM  ULTRIUM-HH6  E4J1  /dev/st0   /dev/sg2 
[1:0:2:1]mediumx QUANTUM  UHDL 0091  /dev/sch0  /dev/sg3

The /dev/sg2 and /dev/sg3 only show up with the tape library attached.   If 
I de-attach the tape, but leave the HBA card on the system, the device 
disappears.

I have also attempted this:

lspci -nn

The problem with this is even a HBA card that I know will not work when I 
attach the tape library is detected by the operating system and will be listed 
on lspci result.  So I can't ask someone remote to use that to separate 
supported to unsupported.  

So what else can one do the achieve this objective?

William

Re: [Bacula-users] [EXTERNAL] Re: After restart Redhat Bacula-fd dont start

[Clark, Patti via Bacula-users]

While I don't think the merits of selinux should be the focus of this 
community, both Redhat and CentOS have the selinux policies for bacula.  If the 
user is required to run in enforcing mode, then he should apply the policies 
correctly.  This should fix the AVC errors.  SELinux is rather verbose these 
days and will tell you exactly what needs to be done.  I am having no issues 
running bacula client on an selinux enforcing mode RHEL 7 platform.

I find the earlier comment regarding systemd to also be correct, but I 
personally find systemd issues to be more onerous.

Selinux basically implements a more fine-grained file permissions. I 
have never really run into any need for more than the standard 
User:Group:World level file permissions, but have tried to use selinux 
several times, simply because it is on by default in Centos. Each time 
it has stabbed me in the back and was disabled. The problem is that it 
often is difficult to establish that selinux is what is blocking access 
in the first place. IMO, it is an added complexity that simply isn't 
needed in most cases.

I highly disagree with the RHEL 8 suggestion.  You don't need to be fighting 
new release problems with an OS on a backup server that will require frequent 
patching and reboots.

As for Bacula community don't use the RHEL provided packages, they are way too 
old.

Hello Maurizio,

If you are deploying on a new server, don't use RHEL 7.  Use RHEL 8.

It will allow you to yum install a more recent Bacula-fd.

Alternatively, you avoid RedHat provided rpm and use upstream RPM instead.

Re: [Bacula-users] [EXTERNAL] Bacula fails with Blocked Drive.

[Clark, Patti via Bacula-users]

Sometimes I’ve had a BLOCKED device it has been due to a race condition in 
Bacula between 2 jobs requesting different media for the same drive.  Usually 
it can be corrected by canceling one of the jobs.  Other times it is due to a 
“failed” job that is not cleaned up completely leaving a reservation on a 
device.  There is no job to cancel, but the status on your autochanger will 
show its presence.  The only solution that I’ve found in this case is to stop 
the bacula-sd process that manages the devices in question.  A total pain if 
you have any jobs running.  Anyway, it releases the reservation and the 
bacula-sd process can be restarted and the device is now available.  Absolute 
worst case scenario is to reboot the storage server.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Bacula-users] Bacula fails with Blocked Drive.

Hi,

I know you guys are volunteers but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please help me with the following problem. I have been working on this for some 
time but can't find a solution on the internet. I can understand if "Device is 
BLOCKED waiting for mount of volume" can mean several issues but here are all 
the details.


OS: CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core)
Bacula Version: 5.2.13
Problem: No backups will start as the drive is always blocked. The bacula 
environment was running fine, and had been for years, then just stopped one 
day, no config was changed.

Device "IBM0" (/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35001438016019fad) open but no Bacula 
volume is currently mounted.
Device is BLOCKED waiting for mount of volume "IPR962L5",
   Pool:Default
   Media type:  LTO5
Slot 10 is loaded in drive 0.
Total Bytes Read=0 Blocks Read=0 Bytes/block=0
Positioned at File=0 Block=0
Tape Drive: The tape library is a HP MSL 4048 with two HP Ultrium 5-SCSI drives 
attached to a Supermicro server. I had a HP engineer swap the drives out and 
the problem still persisted.

btape test: On the following website  
https://www.bacula.org/5.2.x-manuals/en/problems/problems/Testing_Your_Tape_Drive.html
 I reach point 5 successfully but the btape fill command fails with the 
following, this is after making sure there is a tape in the drive:

[root@union ~]# btape -c bacula-sd.conf /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35001438016019fb0
Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes.
btape: butil.c:290-0 Using device: "/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35001438016019fb0" for 
writing.
btape: btape.c:477-0 open device "IBM1" 
(/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35001438016019fb0): OK
*fill

This command simulates Bacula writing to a tape.
It requires either one or two blank tapes, which it
will label and write.

If you have an autochanger configured, it will use
the tapes that are in slots 1 and 2, otherwise, you will
be prompted to insert the tapes when necessary.

It will print a status approximately
every 322 MB, and write an EOF every 53.68 G.  If you have
selected the simple test option, after writing the first tape
it will rewind it and re-read the last block written.

If you have selected the multiple tape test, when the first tape
fills, it will ask for a second, and after writing a few more
blocks, it will stop.  Then it will begin re-reading the
two tapes.

This may take a long time -- hours! ...

Do you want to run the simplified test (s) with one tape
or the complete multiple tape (m) test: (s/m) m
Multiple tape test selected.

I'm trying to run up to 20 jobs per SD at a time, and since I have 2
SDs, that should, theoretically, be as many as 40 jobs total.  Instead,
I seem to end up with 20 jobs total, even if they're not evenly

the pending jobs are "waiting on max Storage jobs".

I definitely have "Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20" in the Storage sections

relevant maximum that would apply to storage generally, but I may be
missing something.

This is v9.4.3 for director, SDs, and the currently-running FDs (some
other FDs are older, but they're not involved right now).

Thank you to everyone that replied.  The disable storage command did what was

this is beyond ridiculous.

Hi Patti,

There is an enable/disable command to do this:

* disable storage= drive=


A status storage will show this drive disabled by "User command":
8<
Device File: "speedy_drv_0" (/path/to/device/0) is not open.
   Device is disabled. User command.
   Drive 0 is not loaded.
   Available Space= GB
8<


To enable it again:

* enable storage= drive=

I do not believe the disable is permanent.. ie: it will not survive an SD
restart, but it should help in your situation.

Hope this help.


Best regards,

Bill

Sorry about the /dev/sch0.  I've written udev rules to use consistent names 
regardless of what udev does - I do use the /dev/sgX for changer 
identification.  If you've rebooted your system, the output from lsscsi -g may 
have changed.  You still need the Drive Index line in your bacula-sd.conf .  

Ahhh - bacula-sd runs as the bacula user.  Did you add bacula to the tape group?

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula-sd.conf: permission denied

[Clark, Patti via Bacula-users]

From the manual:

My bacula user is also a member of the disk group.  The disk group has rw 
access to bacula-sd.conf.  It also completes the full group permissions 
required in bacula.  While I've tested using disk backups, I am exclusively 
using tape media for my backups.  Also, my SD runs as the bacula user and while 
you did not indicate what user you were when calling the init.d/ script, I will 
presume it was the root user.  Systemd does not use the init.d/ scripts unless 
the systemd script has been modified to do so (bad idea).

For future reference, if you are going to ask for help on permissions, provide 
your current permission settings on the relevant files.

- set an unix password to my bacula user (that belongs to the "tape" group 
of course) to try to ssh login and go|see /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf, worked 
perfectly
- start it with -- sh -x /etc/init.d/bacula-sd start -- but am not able to 
see any problem

The only thing that works is if I manually start the SD from CLI -- 
/usr/sbin/bacula-sd -f -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf -- that confirms me it 
neither related to a typo mistake from bacula-sd.conf nor an LTO problem 
(communication problem). Once started this way, i'm able to "status sd" in 
bconsole.

 any hint appreciated !

Re: [Bacula-users] Tape physical retention and age monitoring

[Clark, Patti]

Most everything that you'd want to know about LTO tape for each version can be 
found here on Wikipedia.  It has a section that talks about longevity and 
number of passes.  
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_Tape-Open

I have 6 year old LTO-5 media that has been used by my Bacula backups with a 
quarterly rotation and multiple mounts/writes until full without any problems.  
My drives are healthy and the media is kept in normal climate controlled 
environments.  If I have any media issues, it's usually shortly after new tapes 
have been introduced and there's something wrong with them from the outset.  I 
will be migrating to newer LTO technology before these tapes approach their 
end-of-life.  The only issue will be to bring any required archives stored on 
the media forward.  Bacula does maintain metrics on each volume should you want 
to monitor their usage.

What about age and write cycles? I believe those still
apply to LTO.

Re: [Bacula-users] Tape physical retention and age monitoring

[Clark, Patti]

I have never seen an article or reference regarding re-tensioning LTO media.  
In fact Quantum answered a similar question:
"Retensioning is not needed on single hub media, such as DLT and LTO. Dual hub 
media requires retensioning after it has been dropped as the tape path because 
it can be skewed between the two hubs. Since DLT and LTO media have a single 
hub, the tape is wound through a path within the drive onto an internal hub. 
This eliminates the problem with skewing."

A reliable industry source.  You cannot apply general magnetic tape information 
to LTO.

Hi,

As far as I have read there is a recommendation LTO-*
tapes to be physically rewind from start to finish and
back every now and then to release physical tension.
This tape retention has a different meaning from the
term "retention" in Bacula (if I understand correctly).

Also tapes have limited (although quite long) age and
same applies to write cycles.

My question is:

Does Bacula provide any means to monitor and service
all these? Or what recommendations would you give?

Re: [Bacula-users] Not a Bacula labeled Volume error

[Clark, Patti]

If you just want another volume to be selected, mark the volume "Full" or 
"Error".  Either setting will get Bacula to look for another volume.  It will 
give you time to decide on what you want to do with the problem volume while 
Bacula continues with the backup.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula error bacula-dir dead but subsys locked

You probably have a  bacula-dir.pid file left behind.  Delete it and then you 
should be able to start the service.  I don’t know what version of bacula that 
you are running, but my files live in /opt/bacula/working.  I don’t recall 
where the older versions of bacula put these.

Re: [Bacula-users] convincing Bacula to use a different tape than it requested

[Clark, Patti]

You can disable the volume or change the volume status to Full if you don't 
intend to append any additional data.  If you disable the volume, you will need 
to enable it in order to use it.  I deal in sets of 10 volumes and run into 
situations where Bacula want a volume that has an earlier expiration than the 
set of perfectly acceptable recyclable media that is available.  I script the 
import and export of the media to disable or enable the volumes being 
transferred so that I don't have this particular issue.

(That would be easy - just put every tape in a pool of its own.)

What I'm asking for is a sensible way to handle the situation when
Bacula requests an unavailable volume. That does happen. It's more
frequent with standalone drives but it occurs occasionally with
autochangers, too. The specific instance I described was just one example.

So what is the appropriate action when Bacula decides to use a tape that
for whatever reason is not available for use?

Re: [Bacula-users] Please mount append Volume or label a new one - help needed

[Clark, Patti]

Luke,

This usually happens when the path to the device in Bacula does not line up 
with the OS.  For each drive one at a time, mount a volume in bconsole and 
verify with mtx status that it is where it is expected to be.  Release the 
volume and verify that it has returned to its slot.  Go through all of your 
drives that you have defined.  This should find where the drive configurations 
need to be modified.  One suggestion, it is best to name your bacula drives 
with the same numeric as the index.  Tends to cause identification issues 
otherwise.

Subject: [Bacula-users] Please mount append Volume or label a new one - help 
needed

​​
Hello everyone,

I'm really struggling to solve a problem with my bacula setup and I could use 
some guidance or helpful comments, PLEASE PLEASE. I've been using Bacula for 
about six months with an AWS storage gateway with success, but still have so 
much to learn. I would welcome any help!!

I've tried to walk through this current problem, read the docs, search the web 
- but I'm really stuck.

some quick background:

I started shutting down the storage gateway from most of the day because why 
run it when my backups aren't scheduled until 11:00 pm? This worked fine for 
about a week, then I started getting messages in the jobs asking 'Please mount 
append Volume "x" or label a new one for' the job.

So, I 'update slots' to make sure nothing got out of alignment and ran a job 
again:

27-Jun 13:03 bacula-dir JobId 419: Start Backup JobId 419, 
Job=crashbox.2017-06-27_13.03.25_03

27-Jun 13:03 bacula-sd JobId 419: 3307 Issuing autochanger "unload slot 11, 
drive 0" command.
27-Jun 13:03 bacula-sd JobId 419: 3304 Issuing autochanger "load slot 11, drive 
3" command.
27-Jun 13:03 bacula-sd JobId 419: 3305 Autochanger "load slot 11, drive 3", 
status is OK.
27-Jun 13:03 bacula-sd JobId 419: Please mount append Volume "BAKEEC9D4D" or 
label a new one for:

It seemed like the autochanger was working properly - moving tapes around as 
needed. But, when I check which volumes are actually listed in the slots using 
MTX, I got a different result:

$ sudo /usr/sbin/mtx -f /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-2414d5a4e5f5347572d433245 status | 
head -n 50

 Storage Changer /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-2414d5a4e5f5347572d433245:10 Drives, 3200

SO - bacula was saying that slot 11 is in drive 3, status ok

Re: [Bacula-users] Autochanger incorrectly assigning first slot number

[Clark, Patti]

Ivan,

You’ve not indicated what OS that you are using – it’s somewhat difficult to 
say whether your mtx package has a bug.  I’ve never had this issue with mtx 
running on RHEL6.  I don’t see your I/E slot being identified as the I/E slot, 
just a regular slot, which can be done if slots are tight.  It’s a configurable 
parameter on the library itself as are the slots.  It looks like a wrap around 
identification problem.

My library, while not a Qualstar, does identify the I/E slots with the mtx 
command:

 Storage Changer /dev/changer-admin:4 Drives, 280 Slots ( 10 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 189 Loaded):VolumeTag = 405128L5  
  
Data Transfer Element 1:Full (Storage Element 227 Loaded):VolumeTag = 399696L5  
  
Data Transfer Element 2:Full (Storage Element 226 Loaded):VolumeTag = 399695L5  
  
Data Transfer Element 3:Full (Storage Element 1 Loaded):VolumeTag = 074260L5

  Storage Element 1:Empty:VolumeTag=
  Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=074261L5
.
.
.
  Storage Element 270:Full :VolumeTag=621469L5 
  Storage Element 271 IMPORT/EXPORT:Empty:VolumeTag=

  Storage Element 272 IMPORT/EXPORT:Empty:VolumeTag=

  Storage Element 273 IMPORT/EXPORT:Empty:VolumeTag=

  Storage Element 274 IMPORT/EXPORT:Empty:VolumeTag=

  Storage Element 275 IMPORT/EXPORT:Empty:VolumeTag=

  Storage Element 276 IMPORT/EXPORT:Empty:VolumeTag=

  Storage Element 277 IMPORT/EXPORT:Empty:VolumeTag=

  Storage Element 278 IMPORT/EXPORT:Empty:VolumeTag=

  Storage Element 279 IMPORT/EXPORT:Empty:VolumeTag=

  Storage Element 280 IMPORT/EXPORT:Empty:VolumeTag=  

And Kern, disabling I/E ports, really?  I have used bconsole commands to move 
media to the I/E ports, but I’ve scripted to just change the volume location to 
0 and inchanger=no, and I use the mtx commands to manage moving the volumes to 
the I/E.  The process is handled in reverse for importing.

Hello,

I think this is what we politely call a "pilot error/misunderstanding".  
From what you have described, mtx is behaving correctly.  Normally I 
turn off the mail slot (aka import/export slot) on my autochanger and 
the problem goes away. It is my understanding that Bacula can be used 
with a mail slot, but I do not know how -- probably the simplest is to 
make sure there is no volume in the mail slot when you are doing an 
"update slots barcodes" command.  If you do that, Bacula should never 
access slot 1.

Best regards,

Re: [Bacula-users] Permissions problem backing up to NFS Share

[Clark, Patti]

Can you su or sudo to the bacula user and see if you can manually 
create/modify/delete files on your backup storage location?

- My file storage is owned by bacula:root and permissions are 770 – I 
would not have it set to be so wide open.
Is bacula user a member of your disk group?
If the answers to the above are yes, then what is your file pool configuration?

Subject: [Bacula-users] Permissions problem backing up to NFS Share

Dear All, I am new to Bacula, and most impressed so far. I have version 7.4.3 
on a Gentoo server.
I have been trying to get my localhost to backup using the Automated Disk 
Backup config from the user manual as a template.
I am backing up to an NFS Share folder with permissions as below:

drwxrwxrwx 3 bacula   bacula4096 Nov  3 16:15 bacula-backups

The NFS is mounted on /home/backuppc/ToBackup/

when I run the full backup I get this error:

03-Nov 10:02 xensync-sd JobId 10: Job xensync.2016-11-03_10.02.05_05 is 
waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:
Storage:  "Storage-xensync" 
(/home/backuppc/ToBackup/bacula-backups/xensync)
Pool: Full-Pool-xensync
Media type:   File
I am bit surprised, because I would expect bacula to create the volumes 
automatically. Here is the relevent bit from my sd.conf file

Device {
  Name = Storage-xensync
  Media Type = File
  Archive Device = /home/backuppc/ToBackup/bacula-backups/xensync
  LabelMedia = yes;   # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
  Random Access = Yes;
  AutomaticMount = yes;   # when device opened, read it
  RemovableMedia = no;
  AlwaysOpen = no;
}


When I try and label a volume from the console I get this:

3910 Unable to open device ""Storage-xensync" 
(/home/backuppc/ToBackup/bacula-backups/xensync)": ERR=file_dev.c:185 Could not 
open(/home/backuppc/ToBackup/bacula-backups/xensync/xensync,CREATE_READ_WRITE,0640):
 ERR=Permission denied

As you can see the permissions are OK, and I have bacula user and group with 
same uid and gid on the NFS server to avoid any problems with permissions. Or 
so I thought.

Any ideas on how to fix this would be very much appreciated?

Regards

You have port 9102 vs 9103 in your configuration.  The SD listens on 9103.

Subject: [Bacula-users] Failed to connect to Storage Daemon.

Hi all,

Nov 1, doing my copy to tape jobs at office following the D2D2T aprox.

I run Bacula 7.4.4 in FreeBSD 10.3 based server with TLS.

The Storage Daemon has two Devices:

LocalChgr, a virtual autochanger device with five devices poiting to 
/bacula/volumes (ZFS)
LocalTape, an external Ultrium tape drive (LTO3 SCSI) .

This is what happen when I run the label command:


*m
01-Nov 18:35 betelgeuse.canonigos.es-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: 
authenticate.c:122 Director unable to authenticate with Storage daemon at 
"betelgeuse.canonigos.es:9102". Possible 
causes:
Passwords or names not the same or
Maximum Concurrent Jobs exceeded on the SD or
SD networking messed up (restart daemon).
For help, please see: 
http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/en/problems/Bacula_Frequently_Asked_Que.html

Bacula Director can't authenticate with the Storage Daemon, but... it's the 
same as the LocalChgr that's do the disk backup jobs.

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula director daemon not start.-

[Clark, Patti]

I believe that you need quotes around the values for Name =

  Name = “Kepler-dir”

You should address that in your JobDefs for Client =  and anywhere else where 
the value is not a pre-defined selection from a list or numeric.

From Bacula’s main.pdf documentation:

Max Run Time =  The time specifies the maximum allowed time that a job 
may run, counted from when the job starts, (not necessarily the same as when 
the job was scheduled).
By default, the the watchdog thread will kill any Job that has run more than 6 
days. The maximum watchdog timeout is independent of MaxRunTime and cannot be 
changed.

Hi Jason!

You have said that "Bacula can't run jobs for so long without modifying
source code and recompiling".

What did you mean by that and can you give an example of the problem
you have experienced?

I am asking because I am not aware of the bacula's job duration related
limitations.

Re: [Bacula-users] Update Tape VolumeName in Bacula

[Clark, Patti]

More information is needed.  BTW, the output that you provided shows the slot 
number as zero for the 2 tapes listed and not present in your changer.

1. What version of bacula are you running?

2. Please provide the configuration of your storage devices.

3. Where does bacula think the volumes are located – “status slots 
storage= drive=0”

4. Where does the OS think your volumes and devices are located? – bacula

Subject: [Bacula-users] Problem with Second Pool

Hello,

I apologize if this has been answered, but after googling I’m having
trouble finding something like this particular case. We have an ML6000
autochanger with two LTO-6 drives. For a long time we were just using one
pool, but we had two SSD disks (for spooling) and two tape drives, so we
ordered some new tapes and set up a second pool. It seemed like it could
be a good thing, and it worked for over a month... then it suddenly and
mysteriously stopped working when the new pool's tapes came back around
again. I'll give some configuration below, but here is basically how it
works:

Pool1 - tapes 000101-000140
Pool4 - tapes 000401-000420

None of these are newly labeled. They have all been through successful
backup rotations. It was all working.

Then a large backup had the status:

is waiting for an appendable Volume

In the Job definition:

  JobDefs = "Pool4Job"

which is assigned to Pool4.

++---+---+--+---+-+
| volumename | pool  | gb| slot | volstatus | lastwritten |
++---+---+--+---+-+
| 000401 | Pool4 | 2,439 |3 | Full  | 2016-08-23 20:36:42 |

| 000405 | Pool4 | 2,551 |   10 | Purged| 2016-07-06 01:08:40 |

There are several volumes in Pool4 in the autochanger, and they have
already been written to during the last rotation. However:

Device tape: "Tapedrv-1" (/dev/nst1) is not open.
Device is BLOCKED waiting to create a volume for:
   Pool:Pool4
   Media type:  LTO-6
Drive 0 is not loaded.

I also see a message:

Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:
Storage:  "Tapedrv-1" (/dev/nst1)
Pool: Pool4
Media type:   LTO-6

bconsole seems to agree that there are Pool4 tapes in the autochanger with
status Purged, so I can’t figure out why bacula won’t use them anymore.

After I wrote all of that, as a drastic measure I deleted and relabeled
those tapes. They worked fine, and jobs assigned to Pool4Job were writing
to them. Then the next batch came back into rotation, and it happened all
over again. I tried mounting the volumes, but bacula wouldn't do it.

At this point, I'm not sure what to look at. It's possible that we're
missing something very simple and obvious. Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help or advice that you have,

Mark

Re: [Bacula-users] Restart Director and Run Previously Pending Jobs?

[Clark, Patti]

You don’t mention what version of bacula that you are running.  The restart or 
resume commands are available in v7.x.  As a rather new feature it is not 
mature and may or may not actually resume the job.  If it does not, it’ll start 
a new jobid with the level of backup that would be normal for the day that you 
initiate the restart, not the level of the job that you wanted to restart.

Subject: [Bacula-users] Restart Director and Run Previously Pending Jobs?

Hi,
In a moment of 'fat fingers', I just restarted my Bacula Director (service 
bacula-dir restart) while it was running a series of backup jobs.
On restart, Bacula marks all the running/pending jobs as failed. I know I can 
reschedule on failure, but that'll only start things at some point in the 
future. Is there a way to tell the Director to continue to run Pending jobs 
after restarting it?
Cheers,
...Ralph

Re: [Bacula-users] Problem which fd 7.4.3

[Clark, Patti]

Newer versions of a client than that of the director is unsupported.  If you 
are going to have clients that are that new, keeping your director/storage 
daemons current is somewhat important.  Other than that, you might try to 
compile the v5.2.13 source code for your debian client.  I’d like to say to try 
a package that runs on an older version of debian, but there can be library 
version differences there that will not work on the newer OS.

Subject: [Bacula-users] Problem which fd 7.4.3

Hello,

I use Bachule 5.2.13 with many clients on Suse, Debian and CentOS. And
all is fine.

Now, I want to back-up a debian9 with bacula-fd 7.4.3 and I receive a error:

Fatal error: Authorization key rejected by Storage daemon.

and in debug-mod I see:

cram-get received: authenticate.c:79 Bad Hello command from Director at
client: Hello Bacula SD: Start Job xxx.2016-08-26_14.38.25_03 213

Cannot scan received response to challenge: authenticate.c:79 Bad Hello
command from Director at client: Hello Bacula SD: Start Job
xxx.2016-08-26_14.38.25_03 213

I use the same fd-conf for all the clients.

What is the problem? The difference of the versions from bacula or a
other problem with debian9?

Thanks
Claudia Koch

Subject: [Bacula-users] Bacula wont mount backup directory

Good Afternoon,

I've been fiddling with this issue for a little under two weeks, if i have my 
archive device set to /tmp it works backs up my server as i want it to. does 
the incremental backup and no issues. if i change the archive device to 
/mnt/sda1/bacula/backup i get permission errors and blocked device waiting to 
mount. if i try to mount it nothing seems to happen, hard drive is auto mounted 
via fstab when the server boots, i'm not sure what to do. any help would be 
greatly appreciated, and ill gladly supply any information requested pertaining 
to the config files. i have the directory /mnt/sda1/* as owned by bacula and 
added bacula to the group of the mount directory i've changed the permissions 
to 775, and still i have permission issues. i think thats why its not mounting 
and why its being blocked.

Please find below some things i tried and their results / responses.
Thanks in advance.

Re: [Bacula-users] Autochander 2 Drive HP MSL2024 Pleasse Mount Label

[Clark, Patti]

Could you provide a status of your changer – please do both of these?
In bconsole:
*status storage=MSL2024

Command-line on storage daemon:
#mtx –f /dev/changer status

I’m also not sure why you would use Maximum Volumes or Maximum Volume Jobs on 
tape media.  Those directives are more appropriate for disk volumes and may 
ultimately cause you unnecessary issues.

It is possible to have a tape with a bacula label to have the label become 
corrupted and/or unreadable.  Sometimes the tape can be salvaged if it can be 
relabeled.  Sometimes, not.

Re: [Bacula-users] problem drive bacula

[Clark, Patti]

Nirvana,

The tapes will rewind whenever they are ejected from the drive.  Bacula will 
manage the tapes as needed.  Auto-rewinding is unnecessary with modern backup 
software management particularly with an autochanger.

Thank you for responding Patti.

I was reading about udev, but I say that the fastest way is to use the long

regarding the commands and configuration using udev rules.  Search the list for 
the information.   Otherwise, use the long path /dev/tape/by-path/… which is an 
ugly reference but is stable on reboots.  Use the “nst#” reference – it means 
no rewind, otherwise your tapes will rewind after each use by default.

Subject: [Bacula-users] problem drive bacula

Good day, Dear

I am installing Bacula and had already done tests of full, incremental and 
differential backup, but the library had a problem and restart the server 
bacula, but when I do a lsscsi it that has moved the position in the dev where 
it was mounted in so that searching the internet I found a script for the start 
mount it in Changer Device = / dev / changer and fine but the Archive Device = 
/ dev / st0 each drive now does not work and before if it worked when I try to 
make a test tells me you can not find the medium that can be? any ideas please:

This is part of bacula-sd.conf

autochanger {
  Name = Autochanger
  Drive-device = 0
  Device = Drive-1
  Changer Command = "/ etc / bacula / mtx-changer% c% or% S% a% d"
  Changer Device = / dev / changer
}

  Drive-Name = 0
  Drive Index = 0
  Media Type = LTO-6

and this is the error that appears when I run a btape

Re: [Bacula-users] LTO-7 tape drive settings in bacula 7.4.0

[Clark, Patti]

I understand using the Maximum File Size directive, but the other two are 
unnecessary (documentation even says this) and is most likely causing your 
issues.  A lot of these directives came about with older technologies in the 
tape arena and should not be used.  You should read up on LTO from the 
consortium (lto.org) and on wikipedia.  There’s a lot of good info on the how 
and why of LTO.

Subject: [Bacula-users] LTO-7 tape drive settings in bacula 7.4.0

I have a Qualstar Tape library (RLS-87120) with three LTO7 tape drives.  It is 
connected to the backup server directly through Fiber Channel. I am  running 
bacula 7.4.  I ran a test backup which completed successfully but I found that 
the LTO-7 Tape was not used up to its full capacity of 6TB. It wrote 2.6TB and 
marked the tape “FULL” then moved on to the next tape in the pool. I expected 
the backup to write 6TB to the tape before marking it “FULL”? Here is the 
information from my bacula-sd.conf:

  Maximum File Size = 50G
  Maximum Network Buffer Size = 65536
 Maximum Block Size = 2097152

The MaxBlock: 8388608 is seen in the tapeinfo command on the tape drive0:

   # tapeinfo -f /dev/tapedr0
Product Type: Tape Drive
Vendor ID: 'IBM '
Product ID: 'ULTRIUM-HH7 '
Revision: 'FA11'
Attached Changer API: No
SerialNumber: '10WT004131'
MinBlock: 1
MaxBlock: 8388608
SCSI ID: 0
SCSI LUN: 0
Ready: yes
BufferedMode: yes
Medium Type: 0x78
Density Code: 0x5c
BlockSize: 0
DataCompEnabled: yes
DataCompCapable: yes
DataDeCompEnabled: yes
CompType: 0xff
DeCompType: 0xff
BOP: yes
Block Position: 0
Partition 0 Remaining Kbytes: -1
Partition 0 Size in Kbytes: -1
ActivePartition: 0
EarlyWarningSize: 0
NumPartitions: 0
MaxPartitions: 3

I am not sure if the issue I am seeing with the tape not being used to its full 
capacity is due to the “Max Block size” I have set? What is the recommended 
setting for LTO-7? If anybody could share your knowledge about this I would 
really appreciate it. I did some search on the internet and could not find any 
useful information.

Thank you

Re: [Bacula-users] bconsole connection to Director flapping

[Clark, Patti]

It appears that you are connecting to “localhost” vs the name of your director. 
 The names have to match in all of the config files and the rule-of-thumb is 
don’t use localhost

If you need further assistance you will need to post your config files for your 
director and console.

Subject: [Bacula-users] bconsole connection to Director flapping

Hello together,
we have a running bacula instance working fine for months.
Since a few days we face multiple times per day the issue, that the
bconsole connection to director is failing.

We did not change the configuration nor restart any of the bacula
daemons. After a while (Between minutes and hours) the connection
bconsole to director works fine again.

The call looks like this:

root@backupHost:~# bconsole
Connecting to Director 127.0.0.1:9101

[...] Waiting some minutes

Director authorization problem.
Most likely the passwords do not agree.
If you are using TLS, there may have been a certificate validation error
during the TLS handshake.
Please see
http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Bacula_Freque_Asked_Questi.html#SECTION00376
for help.


I have read the suggestion. Passwords are correct, without changing
anything bconsole can connect after a few tries.

Unfortunately what discourages is the missing log informations.
The only thing I find in the logs is this line
   24-May 12:26 backupHost-sd: ERROR in dircmd.c:155 Connection request
from client failed.
which is logged by the storage daemon. I know from reading the MySQL
Database and stracing the processes, that backup jobs are running in the
time, while I cannot connect. The Max parallel Job Limit is not hit,
normally there are 5 jobs running, the limit is 20.

We are running bacula 5.2.6 on Debian 8.3

Any suggestions what could cause this or how I may locate the root cause
of this?

Thanks in advance!

Kind Regards
Dirk

[Clark, Patti]

Is your bacula user a member of the disk group on your SD system?

What is the state of selinux?  If it’s enforcing – set it to permissive or 
disable it.

And lastly, I have a disk storage area for testing.  The ownership is set to be 
bacula:root with 770 perms which works.  When I change it to nobody:nobody I 
get the same error below.  When I change the permissions to 777, it works.  If 
you can test your mount area without the nfs mount and it works, then nfs is 
your issue.  NFSv4 maps users.  I’m willing to bet that if you fall back to 
NFSv3 it will work (provided that firewalld is set to allow all of the ports – 
probably disable firewalld for the test).  If so, then you need to either use 
NFSv3 or fix your user issues with NFSv4 which is outside the scope of this 
list.

Hi.
I am searching for hours, but I am not able to figure out, why I get this
error...
Yes, I know, it must be a permission setting but I am too stupid to find it even
after years on linux.

This is my setup:
Device {
  Name = nas2016
  Media Type = File
  Archive Device = /nas2016
  LabelMedia = yes;   # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
  Random Access = Yes;
  # AutomaticMount = no;   # when device opened, read it
  # RemovableMedia = no;
  AutomaticMount = yes;
  RemovableMedia = yes;
  AlwaysOpen = no;
  Maximum Volume Size = 295GB;
  Requires Mount = no;
  Mount Point = /nas2016
#
#  nicht notwendig, NAS wird per /etc/fstab beim Booten gemountet.
#
#  Mount Command = "/bin/mount /nas01_backup";
#  Unmount Command = "/bin/umount /nas01_backup";
}

The Mount Point looks like that:
Notice, it is 777...
drwxrwxrwx.   3 nobody nobody  4096 19. Mai 16:14 nas2016

I am able to touch a file there using:
sudo -u bacula touch /nas2016/test
I can even see (when using vi instead of touch) the contents of the file using
the nas gui.

The nas is mounted via fstab and looks like this:
cat /proc/mounts | grep nas
nas2016.privat.i-concept.de:/volume1/backups /nas2016 nfs4

I am on CentOS 7, running backnix05-dir Version: 5.2.13 (19 February 2013)

The error is triggered when doing this:

Do not forget to mount the drive!!!

Bacula tries to open the file, but with an ls -l I am not able to see the file
/nas2016/bkp-nas-0422 either. Is it not there, because bacula is not able to
produce and is this caused by the permission error? Or is the error triggered at
a earlier point?

Just in case: Yes, sd and dir are running as user bacula.

Please help, my backups are not running.

Re: [Bacula-users] Fatal error: askdir.c:373 NULL Volume name. This shouldn't

[Clark, Patti]

No and no.  I also don’t perform updates on my backup servers willy nilly.

There are bugs in bacula regarding the "Null Volume name” error.  I have fewer 
contention issues with jobs requesting the same volume on different devices 
with some of the latest BEE versions.  I expect that some of those improvements 
will propagate to the community version in future releases.

Re: [Bacula-users] how to resume backup

[Clark, Patti]

Daniel,

Generally speaking, the resume or restart bconsole commands are new and tend to 
work best if one used a stop command on a job.  Network disconnects and other 
causal failures usually leave a job with an error state vs an incomplete state. 
 An incomplete state on a job is more likely to resume properly.  An error 
state usually means that you will have to restart or in this case start a new 
job from the beginning.  As the resume/restart feature matures, the expectation 
is that some of these conditions will be addressed and we won’t have to go back 
to the beginning quite so often.

Re: [Bacula-users] How to properly remove volumes in regards to the catalog?

[Clark, Patti]

I concur with Wanderlei.  Another aspect of moving volumes between storage 
devices is the need to change the mediatype.  Bacula bconsole does not provide 
a command to change the mediatype.

Hello Kern

I understand your concerns about make changes by hand in bacula database, but 
it wouldn't be interesting create an option in update to move volumes to 
another Storage?
An exemple: you can have 2 disks with 1TB (everyone with one storage) and you 
will change for a new one of 4TB. In this case is not necessary 2 storages but 
just one.
You can move all volumes from both 1TB hard disk to the new one 4TB.

Hello,

I strongly encourage users to use Bacula bconsole commands to accomplish *all* 
modifications of the catalog database.  Making changes by hand using SQL will 
quite often lead to inconsistencies in the catalog that can come back to haunt 
you. In addition, much of the SQL for MySQL and PostgreSQL is different, which 
can also cause problems.  Bacula via bconsole knows how to handle the database 
for both MySQL and Postges.  It is *extremely* rare that I do any modification 
of the database by hand -- maybe 2 times in 16 years.

Best regards,
Kern

Hello, bacula community.

The harddrive my bacula system is using to store its volumes is reaching
its maximum capacity, so I had the following plan for my network:

I want to manually move the old volumes onto an external harddrive and
keep that somewhere else.

Now what i want to ask is: Does this cause complications with the catalog?
It depends if they will be recycle soon or not
I guess so, since the volumes will be just gone.
Can I somehow tell the catalog that the volumes should be marked as
"unavailable" or something like that?
You can update Volume Status and set to "Archive" or "Disabled"
*update
1: Volume parameters
1: Volume Status

...or is it in fact perfectly fine to just remove those volumes?
Or you could create another Storage Resource in bacula-dir.conf and new Device 
in bacula-sd.conf and use this external harddrive as a Storage.
Move those Volumes to the external harddrive.

Get StorageId from New Storage:
*sqlquery
Entering SQL query mode.
Terminate each query with a semicolon.
Terminate query mode with a blank line.
Enter SQL query: select StorageID, Name, Autochanger from Storage;
+---+---+-+
| StorageID | Name  | Autochanger |
+---+---+-+
| 1 | StorageLocal1 |   0 |
| 3 | StorageLocal2 |   0 |
+---+---+-+

Use this below sql to get information about Volumes x Pool x Storage

select M.MediaId, M.VolumeName, M.StorageId, S.Name, M.PoolId, P.Name from 
Media M  left join Storage S on (M.StorageId = S.StorageId) left join Pool P on 
(M.PoolId = P.PoolId) order by M.VolumeName;

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

Update the volumes that you have moved to external hard drive to NewStorage

Re: [Bacula-users] How to recover from lost connection

[Clark, Patti]

I use stand-in clients that have the various NAS’s filesystems mounted with 
full read permissions.  I control the OS (RHEL or CentOS)  for stability and 
can use the EPEL packages for the client which are the latest version available 
to the community.  Is it the most efficient – maybe not, but it’s the most 
expedient.  Not only that, but if I replace the storage with something else, I 
can get always get the data there.  The NAS’s weakest link usually is the 
controller.  It doesn’t matter how HA the disks are if the controller goes bad.

Versions vary, Director and FD on this machine (Gentoo) are the same, 7.05 but
the NAS boxes are running FreeNas and I had to compile a version for them in
VirtualBox, don't think the FreeBSD releases are at that level yet. Also was
trying to back up a site on the net running CentOS 6, which had it's own
issues. Eventually gave up, could not get the remote FD and local SD to talk
to each other, I think the problem is somewhere between my firewall (IPFire)
and the SD (CentOS 7 on HP server). So now I rsync remote to here and backup
from here. Initial rsync took 20 hours so it's probably better that way.

It would be nice if the various OSs could get their act together and get the
versions in sync :-)

Volume sizing is used for disk-based volumes – do not use it for tape media 
volumes.

If you are using spooling (recommended) your spool size parameters are used to 
control the size of your job spool and the total spool space available.  The 
example below shows 50GB of job spool size and a total of 1TB of spool space.

You don’t mention which version of Bacula that you are using.  If it is 7.4.x 
is has a resume command that will restart failed jobs roughly from the point 
that the backup failed.  The documentation will talk about this under 
Incomplete Jobs.  I have found the use of this feature to be great when it 
works, otherwise it will start from the beginning as a new job using the job 
schedule to determine the level of the backup.  Client connection drops are hit 
and miss on the resume working.

Okay thanks, will add that. I guess I will have to start the backup over, how

Is there a way to write to tape every 50GB or so? I see setting for volume

not the "chunk" size.

Re: [Bacula-users] build RPM for FD 5.2 in CentOS 6

[Clark, Patti]

Because tcp_wrappers is not configured for bacula by default.  Your hosts.allow 
file is not configured properly.  As this is not a linux list, please read up 
on tcp_wrappers, there is a lot of information available.  I would only use 
tcp_wrappers in a layered approach to security and only after using a firewall 
as my primary defense.

It would be more appropriate to use iptables to control access to the bacula 
ports.  Here are a couple of examples.  If you want tighter controls on your 
backup server and/or storage daemon server, research iptables configurations 
and test.  Perhaps someone on the list will contribute some of their examples 
of tighter firewall controls.

On the server and wide open:

-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 9101:9103 -j ACCEPT

On the client and only to the specific server replacing x.x.x.x with your 
bacula server’s ip address:

-A INPUT -s x.x.x.x -p tcp -m state --state NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED -m tcp 
--dport 9102 -j ACCEPT

My problem seems to be with TCP wrappers, but I don't understand why :

Like this, it doesn't work :

hosts.deny :
ALL: ALL

hosts.allow :
9102: ALL
bacula-fd: ALL


But if I comment the hosts.deny file (or put ALL: ALL in the hosts.allow file), 
it works.

Is there an option to have Bacula retry write operations without restarting the 
job?   A search shows the last time this question was asked was in 2010 (the 
answer was no) and I'm hoping there is a change since then.  I have remote 
backups that can take days, if not a week plus and it is not uncommon to run 
into a network error where Bacula aborts the backup job altogether.

If Bacula does not have this capability, is there a workaround for the same 
such that the end result is that the remote backups are visible to Bacula 
directly.

I appreciate any suggestions.

Re: [Bacula-users] Client multiplexing

[Clark, Patti]

Well, this particular client probably qualifies as slow local disk and fast 
network (1Gb).  Some of the file systems are presented to the client via 
Infiniband backend.  Generally, I’ve found the file system traversal to be the 
chokepoint.  Another reason to have multiple threads running and living with 
any slowness introduced by the multiplexing on the pipeline.  I can see 4 
threads, but only one has any usage.

The SD has only this backup going which was true when the backup was started.

The director has one other backup with a different SD and different network, 
although when I started the job, there were quite a few others in-progress at 
that time.

Are you backing up slow disks over a very fast network? I would expect
this to be limited by net rather than disk, especially if you're also
multiplexing jobs and have the server reading from multiple clients at once.

Re: [Bacula-users] auto-changer with 2 drives

[Clark, Patti]

David,

Your assumption is incorrect.  Both pools must have the same media type as 
defined for the tape drives if you want both pools to use both drives, 
otherwise, the media type can be different, but that is usually when you have 
different changers and/or storage daemons.  I have multiple pools and drives in 
my changer (all with the same media type) and they play happily together at the 
same time.  If you have further questions, posting your configuration, bacula 
version, OS version, etc are the details needed to provide more directed 
answers.

Subject: [Bacula-users] auto-changer with 2 drives

Kind of a newbie question, yet asking for a confirmation of my research.

I have a Dell ML6000 changer/library with 2 LTO4 drives

bconsole list the ML6000 as my device.  The library is configured with
tapedrive0 and tapedrive1.

When I start jobs with different pools one of the drives will get used
but not the other, job remains queued even tho the other drive is free.

So what I seem to have found is that once a pool is used by a device
(this being the ML6000) It cannot access another pool, even tho the
device has 2 drives and one is idle.

Guessing the best way around this is to use each drive directly rather
than the library device?

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula Logs

[Clark, Patti]

You have provided no information on your OS, version of bacula, or anything 
else that may prove helpful like what happened on your system on November the 
9th?

Thoughts:
Bacula logrotate does not do a HUP, so while the rotate takes place, it is not 
effective until the bacula director service is restarted.  Highly likely on 
November 9th.
The log directory should be /var/log/bacula/bacula.log and ownership of the 
bacula log directory should be bacula:bacula, permissions should be at least 
750.
Do you have selinux running?  Is it in enforcing mode?

Can anyone help with this or point me in the right direction?  It just stopped 
writing logs.

The bacula-dir file has this:

  append = "/var/log/bacula.log" = all, !skipped

But the folder is empty. I also have Bacula-Web installed and the logs stopped 
on Nov 9th also so wherever it read from is missing also. All logs stopped on 
Nov 9th.

Thanks,

Re: [Bacula-users] File Daemon precedence...

[Clark, Patti]

The windows client installer creates two files, one for the director 
configuration which is what is below.  It may be used by the backup server 
admin for his/her configuration or not.  There should be a second configuration 
file for the bacula-fd.conf that lives on the client that is also created.  As 
long as both sides agree on the password all is good.  FYI, the linux installer 
only creates the client configuration file.

Re: [Bacula-users] Windows VSS Backup error

[Clark, Patti]

Sebastian,

I do recommend staying as close to current – 7.2 as you are comfortable with 
managing.  Many on the list are still using 5.X versions of Bacula for many 
reasons.  The problem with using any of the older versions is that unless you 
have a work around for bugs, your only recourse is to upgrade to a current 
version.

I did grab the links from another posting instead of reviewing the current 
status, so, no reason not to use the latest version.

Subject: AW: [Bacula-users] Windows VSS Backup error

Hi Patti, Wanderlei,

thanks for your suggestions!
I’m not using spooling, so there should be now problem.
I’m going to increase the heartbeat interval now, first.

Then I’ll update Bacula. I see that you’re linking Bacula 5.2 backported and 
Bacula 7.0.
Are there general recommendations on what version to use?
There’s also the recent version 7.2 by the same maintainer:
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/slaanesh/Bacula/epel-6-x86_64/00119023-bacula/

Is there any reason you did not link this version?

Betreff: Re: [Bacula-users] Windows VSS Backup error

Sebastian,

First, it’s usually a bad idea to have your FD running a newer version than 
your director.  That is an unsupported combination and is likely to cause 
problems.  It can be the other way around, the director can be newer than your 
FD.  I understand that 5.0.0 is the default carried by RHEL6, but you can use 
these to be more current:
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/slaanesh/bacula/<http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/slaanesh/bacula/README.txt>
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/slaanesh/bacula7/<http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/slaanesh/bacula7/README.txt>

Next, the recommendation is to increase your heartbeat interval.  I use 300.  
This needs to be set on the director configuration AND the client 
configuration.  This should reduce the number of bsock errors.  You don’t 
mention if you are using spooling.  If the size of your spool file is too big 
you will have more disconnects particularly if your director or SD are busy.

Re: [Bacula-users] verify error with LTO hardware encryption

[Clark, Patti]

Mark,

Bacula is not involved in hardware (tape drive) encryption.

The encryption dialog is an exchange of key information between the drive
and the encryption key manager, in your case stenc.  If your tapes were
initially written to prior to using the encryption capability, the tapes
can never be hardware encrypted.  The opposite is also true, if you write
to the tapes the very first time using encryption, they can never be
written to unencrypted.

What testing did you perform prior to getting bacula involved?  I'm not
familiar with stenc, are you sure that it is conversing properly with your
hardware?

Re: [Bacula-users] Timout problem with spooled jobs

[Clark, Patti]

One more suggestion, reducing the spool size has also helped.  I have a
mix of clients where initially everyone was using a 500GB spool size.  My
10Gb connected clients were fine, but my 1 Gb clients would timeout when
things were busy - I dropped the spool size to 50GB for the 1 Gb clients
and rarely have a timeout.

Re: [Bacula-users] Timout problem with spooled jobs

[Clark, Patti]

My heartbeat interval is set to 300 - you should probably increase yours.
I originally had a smaller interval and had some clients that would time
out - particularly if they were Windows clients.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula daemon message- where did it come from?

[Clark, Patti]

Apologies for the late response to this thread.  Michael is correct in that 
these daemon messages are Bacula created and not delivered when created.  Not 
only the example that he provided, but when an attempt to connect to the 
director from an unknown and invalid client will generate these messages.  They 
only appear in the bacula log and the mail log when the director is shutdown, 
not when the incident occurs.  I consider this a bug in Bacula.  Not only a 
bug, but a security bug because the delay in reporting prevents responsive 
action if required.  I have checked my messages and traced them to our security 
team probing our systems for security holes.  I just don't see this from Bacula 
until the next director shutdown.  Where Bacula keeps the messages until then, 
I do not know.

I agree with Ana with the fact it is probably not a bug. Even in the hypothesis 
Bacula is sending delayed messages this is the reason there is a time stamp on 
each log message. Yes: the connection error happened. Yes: daemon messages can 
be annoying and sometime lead incautious users to confusion if they only 
receive the message after the error is solved. But you can always opt out this 
messages or don't send them to the boss. =)

​For the record and benefit of any future Google searches (and I believe this 
problem is solved in any case), it may be instructive for the user to have 
Bacula call a script (as I have done) rather than bsmtp directly. Over the 
course of my Bacula installation I needed to verify the correct operation of 
all the component pieces of messaging delivery so I created a frontend to 
bsmtp. Bacula calls that, rather than bsmtp itself, so I can see what it is 
trying to do before it even gets to the mail system.

What I know is this:

  1.  Bacula sent a message at 11:00 UTC. This is not a hypothesis, it's a 
fact; in fact, this line in the script:

echo ARGUMENTS: 1:'$1' 2:'$2' 3:'$3' 4:'$4' 5:'$5' 6:'$6' 7:'$7' 
8: '$8' | logger -p mail.infohttp://mail.info
http://mail.info
produced this line in the mail.log:

Aug  9 11:00:01 ch0-backup-01 logger: ARGUMENTS: 1:'-h' 2:'mailhub' 3:'-f' 
4:'(Bacula) bac...@example.commailto:bac...@example.com' 5:'-s' 6:'Bacula 
daemon message' 7:'i...@example.commailto:7%3a%2...@example.com' 8: ''

  2.  Its subject line as you can see was Bacula daemon message which matches 
the following entry in my bacula-dir.conf:
​Messages {
  Name = Daemon
  mailcommand = /usr/local/bin/my_smtp -h mailhub -f \\(Bacula\) 
\bac...@example.commailto:bac...@example.com\\ -s \Bacula daemon 
message\ %r
  mail = i...@mochotrading.commailto:i...@mochotrading.com = all, !skipped
  append = /var/log/bacula/daemon.log = all, !skipped
}
  3.  It contained information that was over a week old.
  4.  I didn't know why.
  5.  Curiously, precisely the same time (at 11:00 UTC) I stop the Bacula 
daemons. Some time later I restart them.
  6.  I don't want it to happen again.

Opting out of alerts is very dangerous. They are always telling you something. 
They may be telling you that there is a problem in your system, or they may be 
a false alarm. Either way, they are telling you something should be fixed. 
Otherwise soon you are ignoring daemon messages as a nuisance and then you 
REALLY have some explaining to your boss when you miss the one that alerts you 
to a real problem!

In this case, it looks like there was a problem in the Bacula system that Kern 
repaired.

Re: [Bacula-users] version error for database bacula. wanted 14 got 0

[Clark, Patti]

I am just getting caught up on the list .  You need to follow upgrade
instructions for your database.  There are scripts available to perform
the upgrade.  Depending on which version of 5.X that you were running,
there are different starting points.

I've done some checking online and i've seen similar wanted 14, got 12,

Anyone seen this before, some assistance would be appreciated.
