I've had same problem...
try to delete BAT setting.
Windows
regedit
delete
HKCU/Software/"director name"
Unix
delete config file
$HOME/.config/"director name"
or
I've found out - change Director Name to whatever
bat.conf
Director {
Name = whatever
DIRport = 9101
address = bacula
Password = "password"

[Bacula-users] LTO-2 Tape Drive stores only about 18-24 GB
Hello everybody!
I searched in the list for similar problems with backups to tape.
What I want to do is migration of jobs to tape with a Tandberg LTO-2
SCSI drive.
First of all I use bacula 2.0.2 on NetBSD 3.0.1 on a standard PC.
At the beginning, I ran the btape program and it suggested to add in my
bacula-sd.conf:
* Hardware End of Medium = No
* Fast Forward Space File = No
* BSF at EOM = yes
So it looks for the Tape Drive as below:
Device {
Name = TapeDev
Device Type = Tape
Media Type = LTO2
Archive Device = /dev/rst0
LabelMedia = yes;
Random Access = No;
# Block Positioning = no;
AutomaticMount = yes;
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
Hardware End of Medium = No
Fast Forward Space File = No
BSF at EOM = yes
# Requires Mount = yes;
}
(BTW do I have to use the semicolons? They seem optional.)
Anyway, when I run btape's test again, everything seems alright, no
errors or warnings anymore.
The fill command (tested with two tapes) runs also without any problems.
It also writes about 190 GB on tape at ca 19 MB/sec.
Now, when I run a Migration Job it finds the apropriate JobIds and
starts migrating, but stops after about 17-25 GB and requires a new
Tape. Then it writes another 20 GB and again.
My Backup Jobs are stored as Volumes of 100MB to 170GB on two 500GB
harddrives first. One Volume-File per job and machine.
My Tapes are brand-new, the drive is new, too, so it should be a
hardware problem.
Here is an excerpt with the most important config-data concerning my
problem. (If I was missing something then please ask for it!) Maybe you
can help me in finding any errors?
# bacula-dir.conf:
#
# Backup Job to HD
JobDefs {
Name = "JobDef-BSD"
Type = Backup
Level = Full
FileSet = "rootdir_bsd_home"
# Schedule = "Platte1_SchedBSD"
Messages = Standard
Pool = Platte1BSD
Storage = "BackupStorageBSD"
Priority = 10
}
Job {
Name = "amelie-platte1"
Client = amelie-fd
JobDefs = "JobDef-BSD"
Schedule = "Platte1_Amelie"
Pool = Platte1-Montag
Write Bootstrap = "/backup/spool/bacula/amelie.bsr"
}
# Backup Job to Tape
JobDefs {
Name = "JobDef-BSD-Migrate"
Type = Migrate
Level = Full
Client = hugo-fd # Client with Tape-Drive
FileSet = "rootdir_bsd_home"
Selection Type = Volume
Storage = "BackupStorageBSD"# Storage with Harddisk Backup Volumes
Schedule = "Tape"
Messages = Standard
Maximum Concurrent Jobs =4
Priority = 10
}
Job {
Name = "montag-tape"
JobDefs = "JobDef-BSD-Migrate"
Pool = Platte1-Montag
Selection Type = Volume
Selection Pattern = "Platte1-Montag"
}
Pool {
Name = Platte1-Montag
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 7 days
Label Format = "Platte1-Montag"
NextPool = Tape-Montag
# Storage = "BackupStorageBSD" # Now in Backup-Jobs
UseVolumeOnce = yes
}
#Migration Job on Tape
Pool {
Name = Tape-Montag
Pool Type = Backup
Storage = "BackupStorageTape"
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 7 days
Label Format = "Montag-"
UseVolumeOnce = no
}
Storage {
Name = BackupStorageTape
Address = hugo.intra
SDPort = 9103
Password = "StPass"
Device = TapeDev
Media Type = LTO2
}
Another strange phenomena I would like to ask you is what happens with a
job that has been only migrated partially (i.e. stopped with an
error/was aborted by me)? As I noticed, bacula won't try to migrate it
again?! Is the job lost then?
Thank you very much for any hints solving my problem!
Have a nice day,
Damian

[Bacula-users] High database load when migrating many small files
Hello! I am using Bacula 2.0.3 with Mysql5 on Debian Etch with a 2.8GHz Celeron, 1.5GB RAM, LTO2 drive, 2x 500G (Backup) + 1x80 Disks (System/DB). I have a machine to backup with about 1-2 million small files (~1kb). When I run a migration job for about 4 GB of such data the performance is going down. The tape rewinds very often and the overall performance is about 3MB/sec. I found out (with top) that the mysql is taking all the processing power (together with bacula-sd) when migrating many files. On the other hand, when migrating only few large files -backups is running fine with 20-30MB/sec. How can I improve the performance? Are there any tricks I oversaw?

[Bacula-users] After a manual recycle a 1 job limit for a volume
Hi all, I just found the list but have been using Bacula for about 6 months now. Great backup software!! I am having a problem that is frustrating me. This seemed to begin after I upgraded. When I try to manually purge and recycle a volume I am running into a problem. When I first label a tape I am able to back up several jobs to it. Then the tape becomes used. I then try to "purge" and then "update" the volume status to recycle (this worked before). All seems to go well. Then I run a manually job. After that 1 job completes the volume immediately goes into a "Used" state. It used to sit in an "append" state. This is very frustrating. If I re-label the tape I am able to save to it again. Any ideas? FreeBSD 5.4 Bacula 1.38.9 - Damian --- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

In that pool it is possible to create multiple volumes for both full and diff backups. I think a volume is something like a file on a tape. And you can have for sure multiple files on a tape. If a restore is necessary you bacula will read the full-backup volume (file) first and then forwind the tape to the diff volume it needs. Just try it out ;-) Hope it helps, Damian - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML. No limits. Just data.

[Bacula-users] Schedules and different pools
Hello !
I need some advice concerning schedules and definitions of pools.
My idea is to do as follows:
I want to have 4 tapes Monday-Thursday for differential backups and I
need 10 tapes for full backups on Fridays (2 tapes per weekend, up to 5
fridays). I need a 4 weeks of full backup of every weekend and the diff
backups from each workday for up to 4 days.
I want to have the differential backups only from the last friday but I
am stuck with the definition of the FullPool statement. It becomes more
complicated when I start to set 1st Monday etc., since it differs every
month.
Maybe my thoughts are too complicated or I missed an option field?
What I did so far is: (sorry for the line break)
Schedule {
Name = "Cycle"
Run = Level=Full Pool=Freitag1 1st Friday at 20:00
SpoolData=yes
Run = Level=Full Pool=Freitag2 2nd Friday at 20:00
SpoolData=yes
Run = Level=Full Pool=Freitag3 3rd Friday at 20:00
SpoolData=yes
Run = Level=Full Pool=Freitag4 4th Friday at 20:00
SpoolData=yes
Run = Level=Full Pool=Freitag5 5th Friday at 20:00
SpoolData=yes
Run = Level=Differential Pool=Montag FullPool=Freitag1 Monday at
20:00 SpoolData=yes
Run = Level=Differential Pool=Dienstag FullPool=Freitag1 Tuesday at
20:00SpoolData=yes
Run = Level=Differential Pool=Mittwoch FullPool=Freitag1 Wednesday
at 20:00 SpoolData=yes
Run = Level=Differential Pool=Donnerstag FullPool=Freitag1 Thursday
at 20:00 SpoolData=yes
}
I would really like to keep each day on one tape as it has to be kept
outside the office.
I would appreciate any ideas :-)
Have a nice weekend,
Damian

[Bacula-users] Job hangs at end of run - Fatal error: job.c
Hi List
I am using bacula version 2.2.5 and have a problem where a job, the
fourth out of five, just grinds to a halt right after the last file. The
job does not reach full completion and stalls. This job has been fine
for months but after upgrading to bacula 2.2.5 this problem has started.
The job sometimes does complete and sometimes not so the error is
intermittant. I have a new tapes for a couple of days so I can rule out
worn tapes and the drive heads have been cleaned thouroughly. As
mentioned the error only occurs on this job the fourth out of six. The
speed of the data transfer slowly declines over a number of hours from
about 11MB/s to 300 KB/s when really the job should have completed and
the final job started and completed. There are no cron jobs set during
the backup period or any other obvious underlying system problems.
Restarting the bacula services sometimes and sometimes does not solve
the problem temporarily. Network connections between the bacula server
and client are stable and not through a firewall, 100MB/s tcp LAN with
no other heavy network load during the job time frame.
Here is the job message after I have manually cancelled it on a brand
new tape:-

The same directive:
RunBeforeJob = "/etc/bacula/scripts/runbefore.sh"
Is present on all previous four jobs and they do not hang in the way this job
does, so I'm not
sure if I will try this just yet...

[Bacula-users] Recycle, full backup and tape append problem
Hi List
After a 2.2.5 rebuild I have a scenario where I am recycling tapes using
a weekly cycle and pools for each day with more than one tape in the
weekend pool. The problem I'm experiencing is that even using Volume
Retention = 6 days in pool Def. my tapes are filling up, the tapes are
always in status append after a job finishes. I have set the jobs to run
a FULL backup in all cases at the moment until I have this configuration
working. This is my first full build as I have only been administering
bacula until now. I may have inherited some configuration errors, I have
also been through the manual in some detail.
* Should the tapes not be set to recycle and if so how do I ensure this?
* Why, even with the recycle option set, do the tapes try to append to
the previous run rather than start fresh, at the beginning of the tape,
each time the tape is used?
* Why does bacula want to relabel a tape when I already have a mounted
labelled tape in the drive? **
* I feel I have missed a crucial point regarding full backups,
recycling, retention periods and how this relates to the catalogue.
**see error below
here is an extract from my bacula-dir.conf to help explain (the files
set works so I have not included this def.) ...
##
Director {
Name = backup-dir
DIRport = 9101
QueryFile = "/etc/bacula/query.sql"
WorkingDirectory = "/var/bacula/working"
PidDirectory = "/var/run"
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
Password = "**"
Messages = Daemon
}
##
Job {
Name = "holly"
Type = Backup
Level = Full Client = holly
FileSet = "holly"
Storage = LTO-2
Pool = Default
RunBeforeJob = "/etc/bacula/scripts/runbefore.sh"
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/holly.bsr"
Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
Messages = Standard
Priority = 7
Max Start Delay = 22h
Max Run Time = 40m
}
##
Pool {
Name = Wednesday
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 6 days}
I have a another issue on this list which is still unresolved as I am
waiting for Gdb to pick up a re - occurrence of this separate error.
This error has caused the problem above to be exasperated as bacula
occasionally did not finish the last file of a job, which has cause
bacula not to accept a tape for append as the last run of a job is a
mis-match to the catalogue record, i.e. 201 files recorded in the
catalogue and 200 on the tape.
I have this error message:-
-
05-Dec 10:13 backup-sd JobId 150: Error: Bacula cannot write on tape Volume
"Tuesday1" because:
The number of files mismatch! Volume=201 Catalog=200
05-Dec 10:13 backup-sd JobId 150: Marking Volume "Tuesday1" in Error in
Catalog.
05-Dec 10:13 backup-sd JobId 150: Job pleiades.2007-12-05_10.12.07 waiting.
Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:
Storage: "LTO-2" (/dev/nst0)
Pool: Tuesday
Media type: LTO-2
--
I really need to fix this new issue before I continue with the old issue
as I don't care if the job starts over on an existing tape in the pool
with a full backup from the beginning of a tape.
Any help will be gratefully received,
Damian Brasher

I had a failure setting the tape status to used, if I were to use
Maximum Volume Jobs I would have the same error I believe, as the manual
states the tape can no longer be used for appending data. Like setting
UseVolumeOnce = yes and the status Full. (status 'recycle' and 'append'
do allow the tape to be recycled) I have used the below and the jobs
have started:
Pool {
Name = Thursday
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Use Duration = 22h
Volume Retention = 5 days
}
I think setting VolumeUseDuration is safer in this case, there is only
one tape in the pool, this leaves the tape ready to be recycled but
updated the tape status to used but the catalogue is updated _only_ when
the next job that used the tape runs, so in this case for the rest of
the week the catalogue status of the volume remains as 'append' so the
job is able to start next week, as the job starts bacula changes the
status to 'used' therefore the tape is written from the start not from
the end of the previous job/run and the cycle continues - that is my
interpretation.
Volume retention ensure that the records in the catalogue are pruned
next week and so I have an accurate record of files available - I think...

A cancellation cleared the job queue, It looks as some intervention is
unavoidable when a
tape is missed as I have been working through this problem for a while
now. However some
interventions is required, the tape needs to be changed! so to cancel a
job is not a huge amount
of extra work. It would be nice if entering the next tape was all an
untrained user needed to do.

[Bacula-users] Tape status mismatches cause job fails
Hi List
I have had some fairly regular job failures that I have pinpointed to be
caused by tape status type error mismatches. The most common is that the
tape status does not match that of the catalogue in a number of ways.
The first is that if the catalogue reports the volume status to be
error, used or full and I manually change the status of the volume using
*update -> Volume parameters -> Volume status -> Pool -> PoolName -> Append
How can I be sure that the volume/tape has been updated as well as the
catalogue?
How can I read the status of a volume/tape without referring to the
catalogue, to see the true tape status?
The second mismatch issue involves the catalogue reporting a different
file count than the volume actually contains, this is a typical error:
27-Feb 23:05 backup-sd JobId 514: Error: Bacula cannot write on tape
Volume "Wednesday1" because:
The number of files mismatch! Volume=103 Catalog=0
How can I avoid an error like this halting a job?
The third mismatch is reported by the status of the storage daemon by
user intervention. Often when I manually unmount a volume the storage
daemon reports back the the device is BLOCKED due to user intervention.
I'm not 100% sure but this error the causes a job to fail, even when I
use a script to automatically umount then mount just before the job starts.
Is there a way to eliminate old BLOCKED messages so they do not prevent
a legitimate job?
Here is a cut down copy of my bacula-dir.conf
Director {
Name = backup-dir
DIRport = 9101
QueryFile = "/etc/bacula/query.sql"

[Bacula-users] Copy Job to Tape problem
Hello! Currently, in the evenings my backup system backups first to disk and then in the mornings I scheduled a copy job to copy the jobs to tape (LTO2). It worked fine so far, but now I have a new machine and have to do a full backup with the size of ~330GB. (The other machines are <200GB) Bacula can copy the files of the big full backup over multiple tapes successfully but afterwards, it tries again to copy the same job to the tapedrive again (and again...) Could this be because the maximum tape space is (uncompressed) 200GB (and in reality with compression just about 250GB) and the Copy-Job needs to backup >300GB?

The problem is that if the copy-job doesn't fit at once on the tape but finishes successfully (on multiple tapes, see my output logs), it seems not to be marked as successfully copied. Thus, Bacula wants to copy the job again until I cancel the job.

[Bacula-users] Connecting to a non-standard PGSQL port
Hello! I need to run a secondary postgresql database instance for Bacula on a different port, e.g., 5433, because the primary database needs to run separated. How do I tell Bacula to use the database connection on the different port? I read about the way with libdbi, but it does not compile properly on my machine. Before I try further, I'd like to know if there is a "native" way to change the DB-port? I am using Bacula 5.0.1 with Postgresql 8.4 on NetBSD 5.0.1 Thank you!

Compression ? The bacula.sql, if I good remember, it's your main CatalgoDB - sqlite. The best method is migration to Postgres or MySql. My database size reduce from 400MB to 150MB when I've done it. But if you don't want do it, just try to reduce your jobs retention. There is another way - try to export import procedure. # sqlite bacula.sql .dump > dump.sql # dump # sqlite new_bacula.sql < dump.sql # restore sometimes you can reduce db size but no guarantee -- = Damian -- Download new Adobe(R) Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 The new Adobe(R) Flex(R) 4 and Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 (formerly Flex(R) Builder(TM)) enable the development of rich applications that run across multiple browsers and platforms.

A long time ago I started use dbpipe plugin and I backup my catalog DB to tape directly. I don't need disk space for dump - bacula.sql.
