Re: [Bacula-users] update bacula on debian3.1
Hi Stefan, stefan wrote: Hello all, I installed bacula on debian 3.1. I want to backup to DVD and I raed that I have to use a newer version than the version debian is installing. I downloaded the tar.gz and want to compile. When I do ./configure --wtith-mysql then I get the error that mysql.h is not found and the script stops: configure: error: Invalid MySQL directory /usr/include/mysql/ - unable to find mysql.h under /usr/include/mysql/ libmyscqlclient14-dev is installed and mysql.h in in the path /usr/include/mysql/. Can someone tell me what is the correct way to update bacula from 1.36 to 1.38? If I were you, I would use the Bacula package available off of the Backports web site: http://www.backports.org/ (Which I've just discovered is moving to a new web interface... which isn't finished yet... doh.) So here is what you should do: In your /etc/apt/sources file, add the following line: (beware wrapped line in email) deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ sarge-backports main contrib non-free (Check the mirror list for a mirror closest to you: http://www.backports.org/debian/README.mirrors.html) In your /etc/apt/preferences file: Package: * Pin: release a=sarge-backports Pin-Priority: 200 That way you will not be able to install a package from backports without doing the following: # aptitude -t sarge-backports install bacula (the '-t sarge-backports' specifies which target release you want to install from.) And you should have bacula 1.38.11 installed! (Beware it pulls down a heap of KDE stuff as well - about 366Mb all up on my system!) Can someone help?

Hi stefan, stefan wrote: Hi Greg, thanks for the fast and quick reply :) snip This is really good working. I also had to update the mysql database with ./update_mysql_tables_8_to_9 . So I had to download the tar.gz first. Is there another way to update the mysql DB? Hm, I'm not that familiar with the process, maybe someone else here can help with this problem? update successfull many thanks! :) No worries. maybe someone should write this on website!!

[Bacula-users] Backup to alternate USB HDDs
Hi all,
A client of mine would like to backup their single Debian server and they have
purchased two external 100Gb USB2 HDDs for this purpose. I'm looking at using
Bacula to do this, but can't work out a graceful way of configuring Bacula to
do this. (Bacula version 1.36.2-2sarge1 on Debian Stable.)
Graceful in this context means all a user has to do is on a Monday, go off-site
retrieve HDD 'B', bring HDD 'B' back to office, unplug HDD 'A', plug in HDD
'B' and take HDD 'A' off-site. (i.e. automount and post-job unmount or
something like that? - see below)
So I can identify each HDD by the UUID of the filesystem and mount them in a
suitable location, i.e. /mnt/backupusbhddA, /mnt/backupusbhddB.
Or I can just have /dev/sdd automatically mounted on /mnt/backupusbhdd,
irrespective of which HDD is actually plugged in.
What I can't figure out (and I've been slogging through the manual so maybe I
just haven't found the right section, or I lost it in the reams of information
:p) is how to:
1) tell Bacula to use a different mount point for the same backup job,
(backupusbhdd{A,B}) depending on which mount point actually has something
mounted on it, or;
2) have Bacula use a single mount point and if there is a volume that is due
for expiry, reuse it or if there are not expiring volumes present, create a new
one. (i.e. monthly, weekly, daily.)
I know each approach has pros and cons and I know some of them, but I am
wondering if anyone has done this before (using two external USB HDDs) and what
they did to solve the problem, and what pros and cons they found?
Thanks,
Greg

Hi,

I am interested in configuring a backup platform that will only backup

Are there any pointers/configuration guides out there for this?
Just setup a file storage device in the Storage Daemon (bacula-sd.conf)
Device {
Name = FileStorage
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /path/to/backup/in
...
}
This is something that I am in the process of setting up too. When you
define this Device, will Bacula (with the correct configuration) store
volumes in this location, i.e.:
#ls /mnt/backup
BackupVolume0001 BackupVolume0002 etc etc...
We are looking at using two external 100Gb USB HDDs as poor mans tapes
and swapping these HDDs each week (one goes off site.)
Thanks,
Greg

[Bacula-users] Bacula and tcpwrappers on Debian
Hi all, I've found out that tcpwrappers were causing my authentication problems (bconsole couldn't connect to the bacula-dir process.) If remove the 'ALL: ALL' line from hosts.deny bconsole will connect to the director successfully. I reinstate the 'ALL: ALL' clause and the following hosts.allow file will not allow bconsole to connect: bacula-dir: ALL bacula-fd: ALL bacula-sd: ALL (I know I probably don't need the bacula-fd and -sd lines, but I included them out of frustration.) What else should I include in my hosts.allow file to allow bconsole to connect to the director?

[Bacula-users] Bacula 1.36.2-2sarge1 on Debian stable
Hi all, I've just joined the list and I apologise in advance for any Stupid Questions (TM). I've installed Bacula version 1.36.2-2sarge1 and I'm having trouble getting the console started: # bconsole -c ./bconsole.conf Connecting to Director :9101 Director authorization problem. Most likely the passwords do not agree. Please see http://www.bacula.org/html-manual/faq.html#AuthorizationErrors for help. ERR= I've set passwords, checked, double-checked and triple-checked the passwords according to the pretty graphic here: http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Customizin_Configurat_Files.html#SECTION000133000 So I think the passwords are all correct. (They were all blank from the install.) I have tested all the configuration files: :/etc/bacula# bacula-dir -t -c bacula-dir.conf :/etc/bacula# bacula-fd -t -c bacula-fd.conf :/etc/bacula# bacula-sd -t -c bacula-sd.conf :/etc/bacula# bconsole -t -c bconsole.conf And did not get any errors printed. I admit that I have not comprehensively read the documentation at bacula.org, so I may be missing something simple. Or is it something specifially quirky to Debian that I haven't found out?
