Re: [Bacula-users] Job gets stuck running a script before the actual job
Hello, again.
Sadly no progress on my end so far.
I forgot to mention that I have Bacula running on Ubuntu 14.04.
Not sure if that is important.

Hello, Bacula Community.
I am currently working on a setup to have Bacula write backups to a
folder mounted over a VPN connection.
To accomplish this I created 2 scripts to run before and after the
backup job:
First Script sets up openVPN connection and mounts the folder
Second script unmounts the folder and kills the VPN connection.
The problem is that the bacula job simply gets stuck during the first
script and does not continue. This goes to the point where I can't
cancel the job and have to restart the director. The File deamon is
not contacted while the job is stuck.
It is not an issue with permissions. My bacula user received sudo
rights to execute the scripts. Also the script runs perfectly fine
when used outside of the bacula job.
Does anyone have an idea what may cause this deadlock?
I am using Bacula 7.0.5 by the way.
Here are the job definition and scripts:
Job {
Name = "Backup_Remote"
Client = Server1_fd
Type = Backup
Level = Full
storage = Storage_Remote
pool = Pool_Remote
FileSet = "Remote"

Re: [Bacula-users] How to properly remove volumes in regards to the catalog?
Hello.
I am sorry, but this is actually not at all, what I want.
I took some time to think about how to explain all this better...
So I have two drives: and
I am using a shell script to create a new Volume on every
month. This script is executed by a bacula job.
has run out of space now, so I need to move the existing
volumes to , i.e. I do not want to keep the same backups
on both drives.
So corresponding to previous replies I got, I created migration jobs and
pools / storages for them.
I tried the job for one of my Clients.
*Actual Result*:
still has Volumes , , etc.
has 1 single Volume
Catalog references
*Desired Result*:
only has the currently active Volume left:
has the remaining Volumes in the same structure they
were before: , , etc.
Catalog references , , etc. on
and on
So the questions are...
1. In the *actual result * is still full. Can I simply
remove the volumes that are no longer referenced by the Catalog?
2. Is there any way for me to achieve the *desired result* with the job
configuration or is an SQL script required?
Again, thank you very much for taking your time to help.
Regards,
Florian S.

I understood that you want to keep both backups (default drive 1 year
retention and external drive 5 years retention)
I guess the best way is to use Copy Jobs.
*Type = Copy*
"Copy is a new type that defines the job that is run as being a Copy
Job. A Copy Job is a sort of control job and does not have any Files
associated with it, and in that sense they are more or less like an
Admin job. Copy jobs simply check to see if there is anything to Copy
then possibly start and control new Backup jobs to copy the data from
the specified Pool to another Pool. Note that when a copy is made, the
original JobIds are left unchanged. The new copies can not be used for
restoration unless you specifically choose them by JobId. If you
subsequently delete a JobId that has a copy, the copy will be
automatically upgraded to a Backup rather than a Copy, and it will
subsequently be used for restoration."
I guess this will help you.
Just change "Type = Migration" to "Type = Copy"
Is interesting to use at least 7.0 bacula version because has a lot of
improvements

Hello.
I see that I did not use "Purge Migration Job = yes", That should
explain, while the old volumes still exist fully.
Sorry for the very rough question.
I will try to make the scenario a bit more understandable:
On the hard drive we have on site, a new volume is created every
month, starting with a full backup, so that we always need just
one volume for any restore process.
I would like to keep this seperation when migrating the volumes to
an external drive. I do not know how to do it without creating
several jobs though. Each Volume has a different size, so "Maximum
Volume Bytes" is not an option.
Here is an example job and pool:
Job {
Name = "Migrate-WS-003"
Type = Migrate
Client = ubuntu_fd
FileSet = None
Level = Full
Messages = Standard
Storage = Storage_WS-003
Pool = Pool_WS-003

Selection Type = Client

Reschedule On Error = no

Re: [Bacula-users] Director will not connect to a remote client
Hello.
Some question to maybe pinpoint the issue as the config seems fine (to
me at least):
Is the director installed on a machine seperate to the clients?
Are the file daemon services definitely running?
Are the ports bacula uses open (9101, 9102)?
Are you able to ping the remote clients with the bacula user? (from the
machine the director is located on)
If yes: can your clients ping the the director machine, too? (I remember
having struggled a bit with permissions at the beginning)
I am no expert, but I hope these questions help you get an idea where
the problem may be.

Florian S.

[Bacula-users] Short question about TLS

[Bacula-users] backup to a remote machine - how to approach?
Hello, everyone. I am planning to store certain backups to an offsite system and I was wondering, which of these solution you would recommend: 1. Install a storage deamon on the offsite system -> How safe is the connection and how do I set it up? 2. Connect to the offsite system via ssh or ftp and mount a folder on the local system to send the backups. Are there other solutions as well? I just want two things, really: - make sure that if the main location goes down for some reason, I still have some important backup files on the offsite location. - Use the safest way possible to send the data to the offsite location.

[Bacula-users] Bacula & Mercurial repositories
Hello, fellow bacula users. I discovered a somewhat specific problem in my setup of Bacula yesterday: We are using bacula on a Unix Server to backup Mercurial repositories on a windows server. The backups are stored on an NAS storage. Yesterday after some strange issues with one repository, I wanted to restore it through bacula. The restore itself seemed to work fine. When I cloned the repository and tried to look at the commits though using TortoiseHG, I received the error "revlog decompress error: error -3". This happened even with backups before the last full backup (over a month ago). Does anybody have an idea what might cause this problem?

[Bacula-users] Adding encryption support to an existing bacula installation?
Hello. I have a working installation of bacula that takes care of the backups in a small network. When I first started with bacula and learned how to set it up, I had a lot of trouble with including openssl, so I decided to build bacula without it. Now we want to prepare for storing backups off-site, meaning encryption becomes highly important. Here a short overview of the situation: Ubuntu Server with Director, SD, catalog on postgresql and FD 3 Windows machines with FD 1 Synology NAS as SD target (accessed via mount) new: 1 Synology NAS off-site planned as additional SD target (maybe for a second SD, not sure yet.)

[Bacula-users] configuration question: IPs and hostnames
Hi, I got a bacula setup running for several years now, sadly I hit a snag and was hoping someone here can help me. The setup is as follows: * bacula-director and bacula-sd running on one box (v. 5.2.6, Debian wheezy) * several bacula-sd (v. 5.2.6, Debian wheezy) * one bacula-sd (v. 5.2.6, Debian jessie) (- this is the box i'm currently making my changes to) I doubt the versions do matter but for the sake of completion .. :-) Now I'm in the middle of the painfull process of migration to different IPs (from 192.168.0.0/24 to 10.0.0.0/8) and got a LAN and DMZ area too as to make things anything but simple. I'm trying to use hostnames everywhere now so I changed the Storage definition for bacula-director to a FQN (host.domain.com) that is resolvably at least for my servers. Now the bacula-director got two IPs .. one in the old segment, one in the new. The main bunch of the bacula-sd still got old IPs and connect to the director/storage on the old IP. For one bacula-sd I tried switching over to the new IP (only, no dual IP there) but then bacula won't work anymore. According to the error message it tried sending the backup to the bacula-fd on the OLD IP, even though on the box the hostname resolves correctly to the new IP it SHOULD use. I got the sneaking suspicion the hostname on the configuration gets resolved on the director, not the sd and is wrong. Is there any way around that? For the migration I need to be able to switch one box after the other to the new IPs, there are a buckload of internal services on there that i can't possibly all reconfigure at once ...

Re: [Bacula-users] Is Bacula and a LTO drive right for me?
Hi Rudolf If you want to avoid tape back hitching, you have to have atleast: HP LTO-5: 47 MB/sIBM LTO-5: 40 MB/s HP LTO-6: 54 MB/sIBM LTO-6: 40 MB/s And I am afraid, that single 6 TB drive is not a good solution. It can be maybe sufficient if you first spool the data, and then just unspool them to the tape, or using D2D2T, but if you have spooling and unspooling at the same time, I do not think that it will be considerate to your tape drive. Thanks for the numbers and pointing me to the spool/unspool problem. This can be fixed by using two hard drives, right? The whole thing about costs probably seams to be a bit ridiculous, but unfortunately there is niter money nor understanding for the need here right now. So I'm trying to figure out a cheap way to get to a working system that can be handled somehow. And I'm fully aware of the fact that the hardware investment costs will be a minor part in the actual long term overall costs.

Re: [Bacula-users] Is Bacula and a LTO drive right for me?
Hi Davide I will not advise any only-drive LTO solution: if you need to spend less money, you could take a look at the Tandbergdata's (opps: Overland) 1U storageloader with LTO4 or 5, it's very cheap. Any no library LTO solutions, will require a lot of operator work, it will make your solution quite unusable. Well, I have to admit that I'm a bit concerned about that, too. I'm the one to handle the tapes and I know I will be board quite soon and forget to change tapes before I leave and so on. Tandberg StorageLibrary T40 1x LTO-44400 EUR Tandberg StorageLibrary T40+ 1x LTO-5 5200 EUR Tandberg LTO-6 1700 EUR I didn't think about the tape prices for now, but the library solution is at least 2800 EUR more expensive than a single LTO-6 drive. The problem is, the whole backup thing is not considered to be imported here, yet it is, and the present situation is extremely risky and there is an obvious need to change things and it should be done before things go wrong. The question is probably, what happens if a tape change is forgotten. Say I have scheduled backup job for the night and the tape is not change in the evening. Will this mess up everything or will the job automatically be run as soon as the needed tape becomes available? I seams to be possible to get cheap old used libraries. Is it possible to change the drive? I once did this a long time ago with a MOD library system. I was easy to do as the library was controlled via RS232 and did not at all communicate with the drive. Do modern LTO libraries work the same way? The official bacula online bacula documentation ( http://www.bacula.org/7.0.x-manuals/en/main/index.html ) it's pretty good. In deed it seams to be, I already had a look and it.

Re: [Bacula-users] Is Bacula and a LTO drive right for me?
Hi Ana I don't think this will be a problem. I had this topology a few years ago with a standalone LTO drive. And it worked fine for a few GB being backed up in a few nightly hours. OK, sounds good. :-) I think you should do a few questions about your data. 1) How important is my data? Hmm, I will know when its gone... 2) For how long should I keep a backup of them? When they will be reclaimed? I need to keep them just for a total disaster recover? They could be reclaimed from a year ago? From a week ago? From a month ago? There are a lot of Bacula can do for you, but it is important to have this previous knowledge about your data. It is clear that you will need a full backup of about 18 TB. But will you need 1 full backup per month? 1 full backup per week? Something like this is what I have in mind but I haven't a made plan yet. I might want to run different strategies for backing up the main file server than for the clients. For the clients probably only disaster recovery is needed, a Backup once a week would probably be sufficient. Backup of the clients is actually only necessary because users tend to store data locally and unfortunately as the file server is running OSX Server we do not have a domain controller anymore (as OS X switched vom Samba to SMBX). (Oh, and no, at the moment I cant get rid of the OS X on the server.) On the file server things are a bit different. I need to be able to restore single files overwritten or deleted accidentally by users. And I want to keep daily differential backups for at least on or two weeks to be able to access different file versions. A simple solution could be having one full backup per month and daily differential. In this case, you will need to keep 2 full backups and about 30 daily differential. Yes, something like this is what I have in mind. And from time to time I'd like to take a full backup to a remote location, just in case. Your full backups could be divided into smaller ones to fill in one tape. Is this something that I would have to take care of? I guess Bracula can automatically span backups over multiple tapes. And you could run daily differential and full backups from different data. This way you could use a low cost storage array and your tape drive (which is your technology?). I don't have the hardware yet. My plan is to get a small cheap server, some low cost CPU (some i3 Core), 6 TB HD (for spooling), a SAS controller and a LTO 5 or 6 drive (probably from Tandberg). I'll need to change tapes manually, any library solution seams to be to expensive. Changing tapes for the full backup will be bit annoying probably, and to do so I have to run it during the day, but this seams possible as there is not much going on on Fridays here. Does any one know the book on Bacula from Philipp Storz? Is it useful to get started? I'm thinking about getting it.

Re: [Bacula-users] Is Bacula and a LTO drive right for me?
Hi Ana, thanks for your reply. The most recent tape drives technology are LTO-6. The LTO-6 tapes have a native capacity of 2.5 TB and up to 6.25 TB of compressed data. Unfortunately it is really difficult to reach such amount of data in a tape. Maybe a 1.5:1 compression rate depending on your data. Compression rate will be not good here, as most of the data is image and video data, usually already well compressed. So you will need more than one tape for a full backup and this will need manual intervention for changing tapes. Yes, I know, as long as this is supported (and as far as I can see it is) by Bracula that's fin. I remember it was difficult using Amanda in 1996 or so. If this is not a problem for you Bacula and an LTO drive is a feasible solution. Otherwise you should probably think about a tape library for this work. Yes, a library would be good, but I cant afford one now. Maybe I could get a old used library and replace the drive by a new one... Yes, You can have full/differential/incremental backups in a hard disk and then write once a week to tape. This is commonly known as disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) backups. OK, in this case how much hard drive storage would I need? Enough to hold the full backup ore just a few TB for the weekly incremental backups? What do you mean about slow Network? Could you be more specific? 100Mb/s and not the best topology, a few PC via VPN through 100 MBit/s LAN Are your data go across wan links? There are lots of known cases with Bacula working across wan links with no problems. No WAN, I just wondered if I need to ensure a minimum data throughout for the LTO. I member some problems in this respect with the DDS drive.

[Bacula-users] Is Bacula and a LTO drive right for me?
Hi, I didn't have to take care of backups for quite a while, but now I'm looking for a suitable solution to backup a small office. A long time ago I used Amanda to backup a single server to DDS-2 tape. This was in 1996 or so. The total volume to back up was about 2 GB. Now I need to backup a bit more: file server, OS X, 6 TB, growing 1 TB per year web sever, Linux, 500 GB 10 OSX clients, 5 TB total (probably less) 10 Windows clients, 5 TB Total (probably less) a few virtual machines running Windows and Linux, 1 TB total The volume of daily new data is usually rather small, a few hundred MB probably but can reach several gigabyte from time to time. I was thinking about using Amanda gain, but somehow I'm more interested int o Bacula right now, my previous Amanda experience is so minimal and total outdated that it's no reason to stick to Amanda. So, what do you think, is a small dedicated backup server, Bacula an a LTO drive a feasible solution? A few more questions: I it possible to buffer incremental backups on a rather small hard disk and write them to tape once a week or so? The Network is slow here, I'll not be able to reach the native write speed of a LTO drive, is this a problem? I think I remember some issues in this respect with the DDS drive, but that was a long time ago. Any recommendations on the server hardware? The budget is small unfortunately. Any other comments?

[Bacula-users] Problem with schedule
Hello everyone.
I seem to be having a strange issue with the schedule of my backups.
This is the schedule I use:
Schedule {
Name = MonthlyCycle
Run = Full on 1 at 3:15
Run = Differential sun at 3:15
Run = Incremental mon-sat at 3:15
}
I do not know why, but on the first of every month, bacula tries to do
both the Full backup AND the incremental, leading to one of them failing
in most of the cases.
What did I do wrong here?
Regards,
Florian S.

Re: [Bacula-users] Unexpected error [Closed]
Hello. Thank you very much for this explanation. It greatly helped finding the problem. In my case basically the VSS timed out before the backup started, most likely due to the computer staying active after an automated restart due to a windows update. The following backups were executed without further difficulties. Regards, Florian S. Am 14.12.2014 um 06:39 schrieb Kern Sibbald: Hello, What you describe is a typical problem with the Windows VSS service. Either the VSS service is not running because it did not restart on one of the reboots, or it crashed, or possibly there was just too big a workload for Windows to take the snapshot in the timeout period, or not enough disk space. If you look at the Windows error logs, it will normally tell you what is wrong -- in error logging Windows tends to be quite verbose, so if you do not find any error messages, it is most likely you are looking in the wrong place -- Windows has lots of different places where error messages go. Usually stopping and restarting the VSS service on Windows or rebooting (not always an option) will correct any problems due to Windows bugs, but it will not correct problems of insufficient disk space. Reloading Bacula won't help in the least. Best regards, Kern On 12/12/2014 12:10 PM, Florian wrote: Hello and thanks for the quick reply.

Re: [Bacula-users] Inconsistent backups of windows clients
Hello. It could be that I did not translate the error message 100% correctly. I translated both freely from german as I thought an english version will be more helpful. The actual german message is: Fatal error: FD hat keinen Jobstatus zurückgegeben. I usually get this message when there are problems with reaching a client. Current status: No problems for 2 days in a row. Regards, Florian S. ubuntu-dir JobId XXX: Fatal error: bsock.c:118 Unable to connect to Client: Client on XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9102. ERR=No route to target machine ubuntu-dir JobId XXX: Fatal error: FD did not reaturn a Job status. This is very bizarre, because the second line of the message above does not exist in any Bacula that I am aware of. From the above error messages, I would say that your wakeup on WAN is not really working or you are not giving the machine enough time to come up and Bacula is timing it out. Trying to backup sleeping Clients is probably an unreliable way of running backups -- or you must find some way to fully wake up the machine before having Bacula try to contact it. Perhaps simply upping the FD Connect Timeout would solve your problem.

[Bacula-users] Windows process doesn't start
Hello everyone. I have just installed the Bacula File Daemon on a windows 7 machine. I did this on 3 other machines before and they are all being backed up. For some reason i cannot start the file daemon service on this new (new to the backup system) computer. I keep receiving error 1067 when attempting to start. Also for some reason the file daemon is looking for its config file in the folder ProgramData instead of its installation path. The config-file itself should be fine. I can start the bacula-fd.exe, if I move the config, but then I only start it as a process, not a service. Any ideas, what might cause this behavior?

[Bacula-users] Dummy Client for Admin Jobs?
Hello, everyone. So I just thought that it is kinda bothering me that I have to add information to an admin job that I am not even using... For instance I have a job thats only purpose is to do a wake on lan. I'd prefer not to choose one of the real clients for such jobs. It was simple to make a dummy fileset of no data at all, but can I do something like that for a client, too?

Re: [Bacula-users] Autochanger: yes or no?
Hello again. Now I actually had to wonder: Is there no way to have bacula do both labeling AND switching Volumes automatically? Or do I just misunderstand? Regards, Florian S. Am 11.09.2014 um 09:33 schrieb Roberts, Ben: Hi Florian, Is using one Device Resource in the Storage daemon enough or is there any use for an autochanger in this case? We do the same thing as this and have a single device resource with no autochanger. Both options have their merits and drawbacks, so you should assess which would be more appropriate for the workload you want to use. Using an autochanger means: - you have have multiple storage devices, and therefore run multiple jobs concurrently using different volumes (either in the same, or in different pools) - you can start using new pools in future without having to create new storage devices or restart the SD - you need to pre-create and pre-label your storage volumes (I would advocate using the scratch pool, and letting Bacula move volumes around as needed) - if you have at least 2 storage devices, you can reserve one and always be able to run a restore job at any time, regardless of whether backups are in progress Using a single storage device: - you can only ever read/write to a single volume at a time - you will have to add a new storage device and restart the SD if you ever want to add a new pool (which can be tricky to find a time if your schedule gets pretty full) - you don't need to pre-create/pre-label volumes and Bacula can do it on demand - you will need to set Max Pool Volumes or similar to prevent Bacula from completely filling the disk - you might have to interrupt running jobs if you're called upon to do an emergency restore Hope this helps.

Re: [Bacula-users] Autochanger: yes or no?
I considered a similar approach at first, but after asking other users in this network, how long they want to keep backups, we decided on a rather long time period of multiple years. Considering that and the fact that we want to use one Volume per month, it would be a lot of work to pre-label everything. So for now I switched back to simple devices without autochanger, so that the Volumes just get created when needed. I still have to test if it works though. Regards, Florian S.

Personally I pre-label all my volumes into the Scratch pool, and let Bacula handle moving volumes from there to a backup pool as needed. They're then recycled back into the Scratch pool when the volume retention period is reached. That way I can label up volumes just once in a batch when purchasing new storage, and Bacula handles the rest. Bacula doesn't need to re-label volumes during day-to-day operation.

Hello,

I don't have much experience with Unix scripting.
In order to update the status of a volume you can either pipe an update
command through bconsole or access the database directly.
Personally I find that going through bconsole, while technically
cleaner, is extremely cumbersome (mainly because it is not that easy to
find out exactly which volumes you need to update without doing a lot of
output parsing and possibily even some queries), so I went the database way.
Just to give you an idea, this is what I use in my setup in order to
manually rotate the active volume in my pools at the beginning of every
month:
Job {
Name = MarkDiskVolumeUsed
JobDefs = DefaultJob
Type = Admin
FileSet = Catalog
Schedule = sched.MF.00
RunBeforeJob = /usr/libexec/bacula/mark_disk_volumes_used db_name
db_user db_passwd
Priority = 1
}
The sched.MF.00 schedule is such that this job is run at the
*beginning* of the month, immediately before any backup jobs that will
write to one of the affected pools. I find it easier this way than to
run at the end of the month, as it is easier to predict the start time
than the end time of backup jobs; however either can be done by choosing
the right schedule and priority relative to your backup jobs.
This is the mark_disk_volumes_used script:
#!/bin/sh
if [ $# -lt 3 ]; then
echo Usage: $0 dbname dbuser dbpassword
exit
fi
for pool in list_of_pools; do
STATEMENT=update media set volstatus='Full' where poolid=(select
poolid from pool where name='${pool}') and volstatus='Append' and
voljobs 0 and volbytes 50;
echo ${STATEMENT} | PGPASSWORD=$3 psql -U $2 $1 -f -
done
It will take the database connection parameters on the command line and
will set every volume in 'Append' status within one of the pools listed
in list_of_pools and with at least 5GB of written data to 'Full'.
The filter on the volume size is there so that you can have more than
one appendable volume within each pool (either because of preallocation
or auto-recycling), but only the one which has actually been used for
backups will be marked full; you may need to adjust the amount based
upon your installation and backup schedule.
The script above is for a postgreSQL database; if you are using
something else you will have to update the next-to-last line with the
appropriate command to execute a given query with the right user
credentials.
HTH,
andrea

Hello. I have two problems, still trying to setup my first bacula system. The scenario: I have an ubuntu server 12.0.4 with bacula running on it and a windows server, on which I want to save the backup files / volumes. Best case would be to mount and unmount the windows server folder (via samba) during a bacula job. I added the windows server's folder to fstab. I can mount and unmount it via terminal. I modified the sudoers file so that bacula is allowed to use those commands without requiring a password. In the director file, I added thesescripts to my backup job, where IP is the windows server: Run Before Job = sudo mount //IP/Data/Bacula Run After Job = sudo umount //IP/Data/Bacula Now here are the problems: 1. the scripts in bacula-dir.conf don't seem t have any effect. I tried mounting via terminal and commenting out the Run Before Job-part. After running the job, the folder was still mounted though. Tried it the other way around, too. 2. (This is not so much related to bacula) When attempting a backup, it cancels with a timeout: Fatal error: max run time exceeded, job cancelled.. Prior to this I already get an error from the storage daemon Permission denied, while it tries to write to / create a volume. I tried making bacula the owner of the mounted folder, but that didn't help either.

[Bacula-users] director can't connect to windows client
Hello.
First let me say that i am new to bacula and have little experience with
Linux in general.
I managed to compile and install Bacula 7.0.4 on a virtual machine with
ubuntu server 12.0.4.
I wanted to do some tests by using my actual machine (Windows 7 x64) as
client, running bacula-fd 5.2.10 on it.
All the bacula components are running and server and client are
connected (at least i can ping one machine from the other). I did the
setup so that the client has the local IP 10.1.1.3 and the server uses
the IP 10.1.1.2. (only for test purposes)
Whenever I try to run a job or check the status of the windows file
daemon though, the director is unable to connect.
The firewall is not causing the problem. I even deactivated it for one test.
I checked the config multiple times and, how I understood it, it looked
perfectly fine.
Here is part of the client config:
--
FileDaemon {
Name = Windows-fd
FDport = 9102
WorkingDirectory = C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working
Pid Directory = C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
}
Director {
Name = ubuntu-dir
Password = baculaWindows
}
--
And this is the corresponding part from the director config:
--
Director {
Name = ubuntu-dir
DIRport = 9101
QueryFile = /etc/bacula/query.sql
WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/bacula
PidDirectory = /var/run
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
Password = baculaconsole
Messages = Daemon
}
Client {
Name = Windows-fd
Address = 10.1.1.3
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = baculaWindows
File Retention = 60 days
Job Retention = 6 months
AutoPrune = yes
}
--
I looked up various tutorials and am rather stuck here. Any help is
highly appreciated.

Hello, Marius.
Thank you for your quick reply.
I tried telnet (Firewalls inactive), but was not able to connect to the

Adding the FDAddress to the config file did not work either. When
testing it, I always get the error Keyword not permitted in this resource.
I typed it like this:

FDport = 9102
FDAddress = 10.1.1.2
WorkingDirectory = C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working
Pid Directory = C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working

}
I don't know, if this helps, but I also tried netstat -an | findstr

firewall is not active, I'd suggest you also specify FDAddress in
FileDaemon configuration to make sure daemon listens on correct
network interface.

Marius

Hello.
First let me say that i am new to bacula and have little
experience with Linux in general.
I managed to compile and install Bacula 7.0.4 on a virtual machine
with ubuntu server 12.0.4.
I wanted to do some tests by using my actual machine (Windows 7
x64) as client, running bacula-fd 5.2.10 on it.
All the bacula components are running and server and client are
connected (at least i can ping one machine from the other). I did
the setup so that the client has the local IP 10.1.1.3 and the
server uses the IP 10.1.1.2. (only for test purposes)
Whenever I try to run a job or check the status of the windows
file daemon though, the director is unable to connect.
The firewall is not causing the problem. I even deactivated it for
one test.
I checked the config multiple times and, how I understood it, it
looked perfectly fine.
Here is part of the client config:
--
FileDaemon {
Name = Windows-fd
FDport = 9102
WorkingDirectory = C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working
Pid Directory = C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
}
Director {
Name = ubuntu-dir
Password = baculaWindows
}

And this is the corresponding part from the director config:
--
Director {
Name = ubuntu-dir
DIRport = 9101
QueryFile = /etc/bacula/query.sql
WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/bacula
PidDirectory = /var/run

Job Retention = 6 months

I looked up various tutorials and am rather stuck here. Any help
is highly appreciated.

Re: [Bacula-users] director can't connect to windows client
I did a double check and deactivated anything I could find.
...and yes, it works now.
I didn't expect the connection between my client and the virtual machine
to be treated as a public network, so I had the firewall inactive for
private networks only. My mistake.
Thanks for getting me on the right track!
I'm assuming I won't need FDAdress for now then.

Florian

Well, port is open, you can ping remote machine, but you cannot telnet
to that port. It still sounds very much like some kind of firewall
issue. You said firewall was inactive, but it never hurts to double
check. Can you check windows firewall *.log files in
C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\Firewall and see if there are any entries
about denied requests to port 9102?
Not sure what's wrong with FDAddress keyword. I have it some of my
config (FD) files and bacula doesn't complain.

Hello, Marius.
Thank you for your quick reply.
I tried telnet (Firewalls inactive), but was not able to connect
to the client.
Adding the FDAddress to the config file did not work either. When
testing it, I always get the error Keyword not permitted in this
resource.
I typed it like this:
FileDaemon {

FDport = 9102
FDAddress = 10.1.1.2
WorkingDirectory = C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working
Pid Directory = C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working

I don't know, if this helps, but I also tried netstat -an |
findstr 910[123] on the windows machine to check the ports and
got this result:

[Bacula-users] Restore Error
While doing a restore of a Windows backup I'm receiving *** Restore Error *** as termination status. There are many files being restored but it is not obvious to me what is failing. Looking at the logs of the fd I'm restoring with I'm seeing many lines resembling the one below which I assume is what ultimately fails the restore. Can you confirm this is the problem or provide me pointers of another way to delve into this problem? Also, are those Errors related to permission issues/hidden files or such and is this something that I need to be worried about?

[Bacula-users] Help with retention periods
Hey guys,
I'm currently looking into implementing a backup-cycle that takes daily
incrementals, weekly differentials and monthly fulls (actually VirtualFulls
in my case). The goal is to be able to restore a file in its daily state
for a 'sliding window' of roughly one month.
My other goal is to recycle volumes as quickly as possible after they
expire (to save diskspace and to have a somewhat constant count of volumes).
My main question is if the retention periods I set are sane for the goals I
have in mind or if there are other catches I'm not aware of.
My schedule looks like:
Schedule {
Name = WeeklyCycle
Run = VirtualFull 1st sun at 20:00
Run = Differential 2nd-5th sun at 20:00
Run = Incremental daily at 23:05
}
Pool {
Name = {{ hostname }}-Full
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
*Volume Retention = 34 days*
Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G
LabelFormat = {{ hostname }}-Full-
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Action On Purge = Truncate
Storage = {{ storage_node }}
Next Pool = {{ hostname }}-Virt
}
Pool {
Name = {{ hostname }}-Incr
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
*Volume Retention = 8 days*
Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G
LabelFormat = {{ hostname }}-Incr-
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Action On Purge = Truncate
}
Pool {
Name = {{ hostname }}-Diff
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
*Volume Retention = 9 days*
Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G
LabelFormat = {{ hostname }}-Diff-
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Action On Purge = Truncate
}
Thanks for your help!

[Bacula-users] Bootstrap file - director move
Hi all, I was wondering if it is essential to move bootstrap files that have been created by bacula when moving the director? I have done some initial testing of moving my director to another host (and then restoring the sql catalog), which seemed to work just fine. It's not clear to me what the role of the bootstrap file is now and whether it will break my restores not to have moved them along?

[Bacula-users] Automated Disk Backup - VirtualFull and the Default Pool
Hey guys, I was playing around with the VirtualFull feature in Bacula (running 7.0.3) in a configuration that has a Full, Differential and Incremental Pools as well as a Default pool. I was following the example given in the documentation but have the intention to extending it with VirtualFull to accommodate my use-case. http://www.bacula.org/5.2.x-manuals/en/main/main/Automated_Disk_Backup.html Now first of all the example from the documentation doesn't define a Default pool and the director won't even start. I've therefore created a default pool with as little configuration as possible. The issues when I try to run a VirtualFull for my Backup Job from the console is that it responds with: No Next Pool specification found in Pool Default. If I specify the NextPool to be the FullPool it complains about: Fatal error: No Storage specification found in Next Pool For the different backup levels I have defined which pool to use in the Job definition. Full Backup Pool = Xylou-Full Incremental Backup Pool = Xylou-Incr Differential Backup Pool = Xylou-Diff It seems there is no VirtualFullBackupPool key (yet?), but I also don't see why the VirtualFull could not happen in the Full Backup Pool. I was under the impression that the VirtualFull would not need a separate pool anymore in Bacula 7.0.x and am really hoping to work around implementing a virtual tape library or migration jobs after a VirtualFull run so any advice how I can make VirtualFulls working without those would be greatly appreciated.

[Bacula-users] two usage questions
Hi, do you know when you have some itching question that just won’t go away? First one: I know various people (including me) that store to disk, and tried Action on Purge = Truncate but they all reported that the actual filesystem files did not get truncated to zero bytes. Especially when using a Volume just once, this is rather unfortunate. So, question: does action on purge = truncate actually work for someone here? Second one: Is there a best practice to make sure that Bacula requests a new tape during daytime? (We’re using maximum use duration of 15 days or so, and the problem is that it usually decides to ask for a new tape some time in the night. Then, that backup is stalled, until someone switches the tapes, Bacula writes a few meg on the new tape and then it’s happy. Sadly that means we’d need to offsite both tapes. Backup to that tape is done Weekly on Sundays. Maybe it’s just some bad timing offset we started with? What I’d want is that it just asks for a new tape on time :) Should I simply make a mail cron job that asks for a new tape on Friday, and add a little wiggle room on the max duration?

[Bacula-users] Dynamic Filesets / excludes
Hi there,
I've been taking my first steps with a client side script in my filesets.
The script should detect all local filesystems.
It seems this works (cool), but it seems my excludes stopped working (bad).
This is the most of my fileset definition:
FileSet {
Name = Full Set
Include {
Options {
#compression = GZIP1
compression = LZO
signature = SHA1
Accurate= mcs
Verify = pin5
sparse = yes
One FS = yes
}
# Only works on Linux.
File =\\|bash -c \df -PTlk -x smbfs -x tmpfs -x cifs -x iso9660 -x
udf -x nfsv4 -x nfs -x mvfs | tail -n +2 | awk '{print \$7}'\
}
Exclude {
File = /mnt
File = /mnt/backup
File = /xen/osimages
File = /usr/ports
[...]
With that I'm running estimate on a client that has the following
filesystems:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdc3 5464880 482632 4681604 10% /
mdev 10240 1024 0% /dev
shm 4066880406688 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 406688 120406568 1% /run
cgroup_root 102400 10240 0%
/sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sdc19505015142 72742 18% /boot
/dev/vgxen_raid10/lvosimages 30832636 15634680 13608964 54% /xen/osimages
I'd expect it to not save /xen/osimages due to the Exclude list above.
But when I run a backup of this client it'll store data from an excluded
filesystem:
JobId 11052 Job Backup-x.2013-10-03_19.43.39_22 is running.
Full Backup Job started: 03-Oct-13 17:48
Files=14,452 Bytes=5,405,889,753 Bytes/sec=20,633,166 Errors=0
Files Examined=14,452
Processing file: /xen/osimages/servegate_sg-300-20gb-ide.gz
SDReadSeqNo=5 fd=5
Director connected at: 03-Oct-13 17:53
This problem gives me a slight increase in backup volume over all
clients, so any help would be very appreciated
Thanks a lot!

Re: [Bacula-users] save DB's online
For Postgres the Bacula wiki has a nice description that uses the archive log mode bpipe. I think that gets along online well.

M. Peterson kmp.lists+bacula-us...@gmail.com What do you mean by online? In some environments, this is a synonym for hot, so I interpret your question as whether Bacula has any particular specialized interface into any of these db engines that allows it to copy data in a consistent state. The answer is no.

[Bacula-users] Client side FS detection
Hi all, I'm aware this must be sort of an FAQ. I just failed to find good examples in my searches. What I'm looking for is how others solved listing the filesystems on a client using a client-side command that is configured on the dir. My goal is to backup everything local on a system, but the standard example of looking for i.e. mounts from hda and hdb is not good. For the sake of an example, lets say the individual servers could be running FreeBSD or Linux and could be using udev to rename their disks, or could be attaching more using iSCSI. One idea I can think of is using a list of filesystem types that matter. That way you can handle most things and also exclude cluster filesystems like ocfs2 that should best be backed up with a different job and separate fd. On the other hand this idea might break if someone uses an esoteric zbcdfs which i'm not expecting in my list of good filesystems. How have you gone about solving this?

Re: [Bacula-users] GZIP not supported on this Client
2013/1/15 Novosielski, Ryan novos...@umdnj.edu: Sounds to me like the client was built without the GZIP library or something like that. That's unfortunate, but my guess is the solution is to create/restore a backup that isn't GZIP compressed or to build a new client that includes support. Generally, that sounds like the solution is fixing the documentation :) SCNR, Florian -- Master Java SE, Java EE, Eclipse, Spring, Hibernate, JavaScript, jQuery and much more.

Re: [Bacula-users] LTO5 speed
Hey Frank, 2013/1/3 f.staed...@dafuer.de: thank you all for your replies. I did some testing and set Maximum File Size to 30GB now instead of the 1GB default. Now the drive sounds much healthier. from what i remember the manual recommends something like 2GB Maximum File Size for LTO2-3, so i guess LTO5 would be served well with 4GB. I use a 6 disk SAS RAID0 array for spooling - and with testing raw reading is about 350-400MB/s, think that should even fit for compressable data. Right now the limiting factor of the overall backup is the gigabit LAN :-) Thanks for every input! one more thing to try is raising the readahead setting for your raid0 device, if you haven't done that yet. If this happens to be a linux server you could do this by echo 8192 /sys/block/md0/queue/readahead_kb for a software raid. If it's a hardware raid, use the device name of that instead of md0. (please check the exact file names and path since I can't look at one right now) My experience was that throughput generally went up a lot, and also I think it should stabilize concurrent read/write. 8192 equals 8MBytes; in my tests I've seen the best value to be either 4 or 8MB, depending on the number of and type of the disks in use. Too high values and my throughput values would drop. Florian -- Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.

[Bacula-users] Configuring Bacula-SNMP subagent
Hi, I'm trying to make the snmp subagent from http://www.bayour.com/Softwares/bacula-snmp/ work. If I get it to work I could write a small tiny Nagios Check for it like the already included Cacti template. This works by connecting to the bacula database using Perl DBD:MySQL which I installed.

Re: [Bacula-users] Performance options for single large (100TB) server backup?
Hi, Breaking the server into multiple file daemons sounds as broken as breaking the stuff amanda users had to do (break your filesystem into something that fits a tape). Saving multiple streams is something that has been proven as a solution for many years, and where that is still too slow NDMP comes into place. (in case of ZFS NDMP is still at a unusable stage) 100TB is a lot, but I wonder if everyone agrees the right solution would be saving multiple streams instead of splitting up the source system (will be fun to do a restore of such a split client)... Hopefully some of the larger Bacula customers will fund these features some day, as both have the mix of being very important, complex and elemental changes :)) *hint hint* -- All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.

[Bacula-users] Console ACL help needed
Hi all, I'm going to use Bacula for a hosting-like scenario where I need to go really really sure that every user can only access his own data. They might have multiple backuped clients and it would be OK for them to restore from one to another, but no other client should be visible or accessible. I have tinkered around with the ACLs already and haven't gotten it to work nicely yet, like, I kind of miss a bitmap which rights exist and which one depends on which other one etc. The current examples are very very limited and I even found one posting on the list where the poster found that he just had to remove his access key and got the access back (maybe misconfigured, I hope it). To make it short it's very tedious and with the current doc you can't feel you got everything right. Does one of you have working experience with ACLs and is willing to write a short better manual for it? I definitely don't mean people that can (just like me) look at the archives and point to postings or have only used ACLs for 10 servers, because this would be too limited to improve the current manual. This would be paid for by me (think around = $100, for 1-2 hours of writing down the important stuff with some examples) and could then be added to the bacula manual or to the wiki or whereever people seem fit. I'm not interested to call it secret sauce and keep to myself. I trust someone is around who knows this stuff well and I hope he's interested :) Greetings from sunny-rainy-sunny Germany, Florian -- the purpose of libvirt is to provide an abstraction layer hiding all xen features added since 2006 until they were finally understood and copied by the kvm devs. -- All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.

Hi all, Within psql/mysql: 1) select count(*) from File; 1sec 30min Disclaimer: I don't know a dime's worth of databases per se. But I spend a lot of time hunting other peoples performance issues. :) I think you should start identifying the cause for this bit at the very first, as it shows the absolutely worst perfomance and probably what slows this also slows the rest. My nose says this is really smelly and should'nt even take as long without any indexes. Can you verify whether the system swaps during your test commands or doesn't? sar -dp 100 1 | grep -v nodev will do nicely with the external storage. also can you please let us know the iowait times (also from sar) and promise it's not a Raid5 array you have in use?

I would vote against this if I could. I mean this will make it harder for me to edit the configuration files through ssh and to me any gui tools to edit the files will just get in the way being that I have 40+ clients and about 75 different jobs. John How would it be difficult to edit file through ssh? If you can edit the current config file you can edit any text (XML) file. Nah, I don't like to edit XML files by hand. It is prone to errors. Just keep the config file format simple, it is easy to create a program that can parse the configuration format and let you edit it using a web or desktop interface, and it is even easier to edit/generate them using a perl script. I use/edit XML just about everyday and I do not find it difficult. Converting current config to XML should be pretty easy. Nowadays lots of web applications (e.g. SOA) exclusively use XML, so, if someone wants to create a web module to support XML there are lots of tools available. the bacula config is well defined, so it should be easy enough to access it the way it is. as long as the web frontend users won't stand next to the admins in the datacenter at midnight to hand edit a config that doesnt work in a d/r scenario we'll do really a lot better by some import/export layer that handles xml conversion, but like Dan said, the basis for baculas config should stay text based. Any frontend that can't deal with parsing the raw files shouldn't be considered trustworthy to edit them IMO. a prime example for this would be hand-fixing the heartbeat2 cluster resource database - 30KB+ of XML and sometimes the tools fail, leaving you to fix whatever config they left you with. Thanks no. There's so many ways to automatically generate the bacula configs (just look in contrib/) and I rather wait another 4 years for an enterprise-grade webfrontend that doesn't need XML to read predefined data and doesnt achieve more than for example a webmin module. If Kern's Bacula Inc. would release a real, professional guy that doesn't bloat my configs I'd pay for that any day.

[Bacula-users] Bacula backup to disk
hi,
we are using bacula to backup our fileserver to disk. Our bacula server
has got 500GB disk space and we want the backup to work like this:
every 1st saturday of a month at 20:00 start a full backup and overwrite
the last one (not enough diskspace to hold 2 full backups)
every monday - friday start a incremental backup at 22:00
our schedule looks like this:
Schedule {
Name = monthly_disk_inc
Run = Level=Full IncrementalPool=sdb1_inc FullPool=sdb1_full 1st sat at
20:00
Run = Level=Incremental IncrementalPool=sdb1_inc FullPool=sdb1_full
mon-fri at 22:00
}
our job like this:
Job {
Name = zeus_disk
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = zeus-fd
FileSet = zeus_disk
Schedule = monthly_disk_inc
Storage = sdb1
Messages = Standard
Pool = sdb1_inc
Full Backup Pool = sdb1_full
Incremental Backup Pool = sdb1_inc
Differential Backup Pool = sdb1_diff
Priority = 9
Write Bootstrap = /var/bacula/zeus_disk.bsr
}
and our pool like this:
Pool {
Name = sdb1
Storage = sdb1
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 14 days
Label Format = file-
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Maximum Volumes = 3
}
## sdb1 full backup pool
Pool {
Name = sdb1_full
Storage = sdb1
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 1 month
Label Format = full-
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Maximum Volumes = 1
}
## sdb1 differential backup pool
Pool {
Name = sdb1_diff
Storage = sdb1
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 1 month
Label Format = diff-
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Maximum Volumes = 12
}
## sdb1 incremental backup pool
Pool {
Name = sdb1_inc
Storage = sdb1
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 1 month
Label Format = inc-
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Maximum Volumes = 31
}
Differential is not used at the moment. Will this setup work? What
happens if I start at 13.November.2007? Will Bacula start with a full
backup an overwrite the fullbackup tape at 1st saturday on december?
Will it also overwrite the incremental tapes that are no more working
because of the deleted full backup? Are the Retention times ok?
Thanks for you help.

Re: [Bacula-users] clustered bacula servers
Hi, 2007/5/17, Rich [EMAIL PROTECTED]: is there a functionality (or planned functionality) in bacula to allow two or more server instances work in a way similar to a cluster ? no, and maybe that would probably include two separate instances of director, storage daemon and database that would be able to share/sync information about jobs and job data. that's likewise an active-active cluster then, or at least if one gets that far there's not much reason to stop short of it. but, this is a feature not even most of the highend backup utilities i know easily provide. file daemons would probably have two director access configured, with a way to set a preferred one, which would always contact particular client, except in cases when the preferred one is down. with an older version of bacula i have now, failed first server would require manual reconfiguring of all clients, and it also requires syncing data separately from bacula. in case of geographically distributed servers there also is no way to tell backup jobs to go to a particular server first, so there's increased network traffic as well. i've searched documentation and mailing list archives, but best i could find was about clustered services backup. if you search the archives you might be able to find an old mail inquiring about this; as far as i remember kern stated that at the moment this would require addition of a lot of table locking which isn't there. the database syncing itself is less of an issue, but the state information can't be shared at the moment. I'm taking a stake on using a cluster-aware filesystem beneath the bacula daemons for easy failover, but this is not able to deal with 'Geocluster'-Like scenarios either.

[Bacula-users] make_catalog_backup and passwords
Hi, according to the script, make_catalog_backup expects a database password, if used, to be supplied as Argument $3, which will make catalog backups work in case one is using a password. But, this means one will have the database password showing up in backup logs, which might be available to a wider audience than the BackupCatalog part of the director configuration. I've thought about multiple ways to change this, but so far all consisted of hacking the make_catalog_backup script, which would of course be lost on upgrades. I also thought about adding a readonly database user for doing the backups, but I'm afraid in the long term this would risk having things missing in the backup, due to potential sql permission issues. has one of You found a nice way of handling the password here? -- 'Sie brauchen sich um Ihre Zukunft keine Gedanken zu machen' - 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.

[Bacula-users] confused about multiple filestorages and one sd :)
FileStorage01 (/mnt/new/bacula/storage/01) is not open. Device FileStorage02 (/mnt/new/bacula/storage/02) is not open. As the sd spills out status for all devices i assume i probably only need one reference in bacula-dir.conf, or does it just not restrict it's reply to the queried device? (i wish i knew that!) Can I achieve a state where bacula will pick an available device, as long as it's in the right pool? (I guess yes *g*) Well, now any hints? :) Florian p.s.: these are the last stitches for the bacula-related part of the bacula cluster howto; there's a few gaps that will be filled once i build the full setup once, tear it down and rebuilt it successfully. i plan to complete it by end of this month - if you want to check it out, have a look at http://linuxlab.wordpress.com/2007/02/22/bacula-cluster-howto/ -- 'Sie brauchen sich um Ihre Zukunft keine Gedanken zu machen' - Take Surveys.

Re: [Bacula-users] confused about multiple filestorages and one sd :)
2007/4/13, MasterBrian [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Hi,
Device {
Name = FileStorage00
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /mnt/new/bacula/storage/00
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}
I'm had the same problem. In the manual, this situation is covered here
at paragraph 23.4 page 337 Section Backing up multiple disks
You should change media type from file to file1, file2 etc...
Thank you SO much
florian

Re: [Bacula-users] HP-UX clients
Hi, List Florian Heigl had a repository of binaries for HP-UX (11i) here: http://deranfangvomen.de/~floh/bacula/ but at least now the site is not accessible. The wonders of cheap virtual hosting. The hoster 'migrated servers' and rumor has it there is a backup of my old box available with them somewhere. I'm still trying to find out if I care.

Does a binary client exist for HP-UX (v11 for itanium)? if not, have you some advises for compiling bacula-client on HP-UX (from your own experience)? Itanium works in general, I used a non-root HP testdrive account, but I haven't rebuild it for a long time as I keep forgetting the password. I'll set out to search for my testdrive account so I can build a current ia64 binary, but this might take long time. If the doesn't work out, I'll make you a static 11.11 pa-risc binary, You could use just that as well, as the emulation performance impact is said to be low. What I remember as requirements - current linker patches (hard to tell) - LDFLAGS=-lcl -lpthread - either complete ipv6 headers or ipv6 disabled in configure.in - --enable-static-fd --enable-clientonly so You get a fd that still works if /usr got wiped. :) Florian p.s.: if the marketing drones at HP let 11.23/11.31 be supported on workstations I could of course make a binary for you - Take Surveys.

Re: [Bacula-users] Installing Bacula on Hostsystem or XEN
Hi, 2007/3/5, Dominik Jonas [EMAIL PROTECTED]: we got a new server in our company. It run several services on several XEN virtual machines (e.g. mail, webserver, yp). I want to know if it is better to run bacula in its own XEN or directly on the hostsystem? This server has enough hardware ressource for both. The Xen documentation is quite clear about running services in dom0: do NOT do it. There are reasons for that statement, mostly reasons based on bad experiences following bad choices or as we say dicke finger und keine backups. Xen allows you to export the fc- or scsi hba the tape is connected to to the domU that will use it. From a disaster recovery point of view it is not desirable to have the backups in a domU, unless you're able to provision that domU to a ready state without relying on backups, i.e. bring up the domU on a 2nd dom0 if the dom0 #1 is broken. If You can ensure that and have some xen experience, you could also just run a bacula-sd in dom0, that's not so much pain and/or risk. I've done this for some time after settling my toyground into one larger box - but that was at home, not for a company people rely on. my main advice would be a different, non-virtualized host for the backups.

Re: [Bacula-users] Info on setting up a second catalog?
2007/2/27, Alan Davis [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Questions for anyone who's currently using secondary catalogs: I may be making this harder than it needs to be, but I need some guidance on just how the second catalog gets used. Either you're making it harder than it needs be, or I missed something: I had a lab environment that got recorded to an extra catalog, let's say 'lab' - after setting Catalog = lab in the client definition and adding a catalog named lab - the backups automatically ended up in lab instead of MyCatalog - the recovers automatically chose 'lab' to browse / restore from. I also hadn't expected this to be the only steps but was hinted there and I can't recall any other issues. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Bacula-users] minimum privileges for bweb
Hi list, firstofall, I'm just asking here for I'm not aware of a list dealing with bweb yet, and secondly most/all of it's users are going to read it here anyway. i'm currently setting up mysql permissions for bacula and bweb - does anyone know if bweb only needs readonly permissions and does the rest of its features via bconsole? I think so, but maybe I'm completely wrong. Did anyone look into this so far? My reasoning is that the webserver should access using a different account than the director itself. regards, florian -- 'Sie brauchen sich um Ihre Zukunft keine Gedanken zu machen' - Take Surveys.
