John, Yep, I tried labeling a couple of tapes and mounted them but no joy. I guess I'll have to bring the tapes back in-house to make the backups easy.

[Bacula-users] MySQL server has moved...
Hey gang, The mysqld (v.5.0.27) that my implementation of Bacula (v.2.4.2) used has moved to a different server where multiple instances of mysqld is running. If I know the port, the PID and the IP address of the new server, can I insert that information into some Bacula configuration file and allow Bacula to start? If so, which file and please provide syntax. I could not find a good reference in the User's Guide, especially in the section Installing and Configuring MySQL.

I reread the migration section of the manual and though it does not specifically say Do not migrate within a pool!, it does discourage the act. With that, I created the Tape pool and moved one of my tapes from the Weekly pool into the Tape pool and the source job to the Default pool. I updated the volume status of the source to Full and the Volume retention time of the target volume (tape) to 1 hour. The source job is no longer in the pool to which it was directed so I modified the original job to look there. DAMN! This is getting to be to much trouble to simply move a 25GB backup to a tape...(but I bristle, back to the explanation at hand.) When I run the migration now, bconsole complains that the Weekly pool has no Next Pool statement. I thought I was migrating from the Default pool...whatever, I inserted a Next Pool statement pointing at the Tape pool and bconsole seems happy. It's been more than an hour since the tape was last used so why if the migration appending to the tape instead of overwriting? Note to self, if the backup fails to start...terminate it. It may be easier to restore...or will it given the above gyrations. -=-=-=-==-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- *list volumes Pool: Default +-+--+---+-++--+--+-+--+---+---+-+ | MediaId | VolumeName | VolStatus | Enabled | VolBytes | VolFiles | VolRetention | Recycle | Slot | InChanger | MediaType | LastWritten | +-+--+---+-++--+--+-+--+---+---+-+ | 5 | TempBU | Error | 1 | 17,825,502 |0 | 1 | 1 |0 | 0 | File | 2007-12-15 12:07:02 | | 44 | Default1 | Append| 1 | 25,676,270,410 |5 | 31,536,000 | 1 |0 | 0 | File | 2007-12-16 13:42:15 | | 45 | fWeekly-0001 | Full | 1 | 18,998,783,486 |4 | 2,937,600 | 1 |0 | 0 | File | 2007-12-18 00:14:21 | +-+--+---+-++--+--+-+--+---+---+-+ ...snip...

[Bacula-users] Spooled backup to tape blows away spooler directory after first client...
Hey guys,
I thought it an artifact last week that the spooler directory was blown away
while having trouble with the tape backup job. It happened again last night
without any other apparent issues.
The first clients files were spooled to /tmp/BUspool directory then put onto
tape. The next client tried to spool files to the same directory but it was
gone and the job failed as did the subsequent client backups. For the record,
the only difference between the daily and weekly backups is that the Dailies
are incrementals stored to disk while the weekly is a full backup to tape. All
jobs use the /tmp/BUspool directory to spool the jobs despite the settings in
bacula-sd.conf (see below).
I guess I have two questions:
1) Why is the BUspool folder getting blown away on spooled tape backups? and
2) How is it the disk-to-disk backups know to spool to the BUspool directory?

Re: [Bacula-users] Maximum Volume Size exceeded Error
John, As a matter of fact, I did (which is a different issue.) When I started the back up, I had 50GB left on the volume. The typical backup consumes only 25 GB The size of the Wednesday5 volume. When I issued list volumes within bconsole, Wednesday volume was at 77GB and of course the media was fully consumed. So, the Wednesday5 volume should have been overwritten instead of tripling it's size (no, 50GB of new data was not created yesterday.) For the record, this happens several times per week and I have to manually delete old volumes. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ David Gardner email: djgardner(at)yahoo.com Yahoo!

Re: [Bacula-users] All the problems with Bacula
Hey gang, I think the Bacula project is a good solution for those just need to get the job done; nothin' flashy. Having said that, the manual needs to be split into a technical manual and a HOWTO guide. The HOWTO guide would have plenty of examples and even more references to the technical manual. The single most helpful example for me (and perhaps others) _would_ have been a walk through for setting up the .conf files to backup/verify/restore files from multiple systems. Bar none! Without that, the learning curve is steep especially for those with little time to implement a good solution. For the record, I too am trying to figure out why a mounted labeled tape in the correct pool will not be recognized...but that's another thread. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ David Gardner email: djgardner(at)yahoo.com Yahoo!

Its taken 4 months and its still not working correctly. DL You are unique. I doubt he's unique. I constantly think to myself wow, bacula is really cool; but why isn't it doing that? The configuration is complex to set up (but with flexibility always comes complexity; and bacula is very flexible). Fortunately there are many good resources to look at, but sorting through them all to find what you want is sometimes difficult. Personally, I've been using it for 2 months. On day one I got it up and running and backing up multiple computers (windows and linux both). But, I've still had issues with it backing up files I didn't want it to (no doubt my fault), failing to write DVDs properly (questionable fault, but I think I've fixed that through a patch to the dvd-handler), failing to recycle volumes that I believe it should (no doubt my fault). But even after all that, the flexibility is very necessary for me and I'm going to keep plugging away at it (just yesterday I had to re-learn that volume longevity for previously created volumes is in the DB, not relearned from a modified config. Which makes sense, but when you're editing the config it's easy to forget). So, let me say: thanks to all the developers of bacula. I know what it's like to run an OSS project and get yelled at (I've started a number at this point). Realize that the vast majority of your users are very happy with your work (myself included). Kudos to you all for your time and even more importantly: your patience in helping us through problems. Outstanding support! One thing that I did with one of my more successful projects was to think of ways to reduce the confusion based on the questions sent to the mailing list. When I got a ton of questions in area X, I decided that area X needed usability improvements. My thinking about it always resulted in less questions about X in the future, which was a plus. Something to consider (or ignore) at will... Now, the down side is that the questions didn't stop. They just got harder. If you remove the easier-to-understand problems users start asking questions about the harder areas of a project because they get farther ;-) Final word: I love bacula and wouldn't switch away from it if I had a choice. But I'm still on the learning curve, and it isn't small. But very very worth it.

Re: [Bacula-users] BU 2 tape does not see newly labeled tape
Thank you for your time John. I tend to use the (grey beard) umount command with bconsole. I know it un-mounts the tape and is ready to accept a new tape for labeling or such tasks. It didn't make sense to 'release' a tape (volume) especially if the backup is going to span multiple cartridges. Let me be clear what I intend to happen: Friday -Wednesday are Diff's to hard drive volumes, Thursday full backup to tape(s).

Given the following volume listing from bconsole and my bacula-dir.conf file, will the backup to tape occur when required or will Bacula (v.2.2.5) again ask for appendable media in the WeeklyPool? Did you unmount the last tape using the unmount or umount command instead of the release command? Basically if you use the unmount command it unmounts the tape and removes it from bacula's access so that you can use the tape drive with a different utility. As a result of that when you put a new tape in bacula will not automatically load the tape until the user issues a mount command in bacula. With the release command the tape is ejected but bacula retains full control of the drive so that after inserting a new tape bacula will automatically mount it if you have automount configured in your conf files. If this is not you issue please tell me and I will try to look at your conf files. John Be a better sports nut! Let your teams follow you with Yahoo Mobile.

[Bacula-users] Fw: BU 2 tape does not see newly labeled tape
John, (sorry for the repeat here) Your assessment is on the mark. This for my clarification... Do: I insert a blank tape, label and mount it. The Thursday night BU commences and backs up the first 36 GB to the first tape. When the intervention is required, I release the tape and insert a new tape to complete the BU. This second tape gets labeled, mounted and pooled appropriately. When the backup is completed, is umount the tape. Until I get an automounter, larger tape drive or both. ;) /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ David Gardner email: djgardner(at)yahoo.com Yahoo!

Heavens no, Chris! I refer to Bacula as the system to restart. My apologies to the list if the requested information is in the manual and I didn't find it. I've had a rough time implementing this system per my manager's requirements. I'm use to working with Apache (amoung other systems) that recognizes include file-path/-name in the configuration file. Reloading the system is generally done from the command prompt. Again, my apologies. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ David Gardner email: djgardner(at)yahoo.com Yahoo!

Re: [Bacula-users] Include statements in bacula-dir.conf file
I'd like to again request the reload argument be an option to the bacula executable. Perhaps I'm being a little too paranoid for my own good but if the last paragraph of the bconsole | reload section on pg 264 of the user guide is any indication, I would not feel comfortable adding new clients to a production situation in this manner. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ David Gardner email: djgardner(at)yahoo.com Yahoo!

Mind, this is not using disk spooling which is a different feature altogether. What feature of d2d2t is so important ?

Re: [Bacula-users] need help defining client files for backup...
Arno,
Are you suggesting I create multiple fileset (directives) within
bacula-dir.conf? If so, how do I identify the fileset with the client?
That is the root of my confusion, I cannot figure out how to correlate a group
of files/directories with hosts.

You define the necessary clients first.
Then you create the filesets you need - there will be at least four of
them.
/home/, /var/lib/mysql/, and /web/sites/ are easy.
/usr/local/reports/A*.pdf will need wildcards or regexes in an options
clause.
Nte that backing up the mysql database files while the database server
is running is useless - you need to shut down the database server, or
dump the databases you're interested in to a file and back up that (or
these) files.
Hope that gets you started,
Arno

Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] need help defining client files for backup...

Hey gang,
I've read through all the docs I can find on the subject but just
cannot decipher the correct method of describing in a fileset which
directories on which client machine should be backed up.
Here's the Linux Server:/directories I want backed up where the
connections have all been made and I successfully backed up the
local files:
{localhost:}/home/*
RptEngine1:/usr/local/reports/A*.pdf
DB2:/var/lib/mysql/*
WEB1:/web/sites/*
Any help would be appreciated.
You define the necessary clients first.
Then you create the filesets you need - there will be at least four of
them.
/home/, /var/lib/mysql/, and /web/sites/ are easy.
/usr/local/reports/A*.pdf will need wildcards or regexes in an options
clause.
Nte that backing up the mysql database files while the database server
is running is useless - you need to shut down the database server, or
dump the databases you're interested in to a file and back up that (or
these) files.
Hope that gets you started,
Arno
