Re: [Bacula-users] Does anybody have a working Linux ISO that will allow me to restore from an offsite Bacula backup?

I was one of the first people to try Bacula + rclone integration techniques, 
but I don't recommend it anymore. While it works, it is a rather inefficient 
and riskier integration, and now there is a Bacula S3 plugin that allows direct 
bucket writing in both community (bacula.org packages) and enterprise editions:

I also heard a lot of good things from RocketChat: https://www.rocket.chat/

After trying and failing to use more low-level manual means, I`m now pivoting 
and trying to adapt an existing Live Ubuntu ISO and install appropriate Bacula 
packages and storage backend linkages using CUBIC.   I plan to test the ISO on 
local VirtualBox and ultimately bring it up in a virtual CDROM on my cloud 
server`s ASMB9-iKV.  I then want the ISO to come up with all Bacula services 
primed and ready for a full system restore.



Bacula Enterprise has a very good BareMetal plugin for both *nix and Windows 
systems. It is a very sophisticated solution however, that even allows 
dissimilar hardware restore, re-partitioning, among others. I don't think it is 
easily reproducible with open source solutions, such as Linux. 

I understood this is Kubernets container? If that's is the case, you might have 
what you need with a Kubernetes backup approach. 
https://bacula.org/13.0.x-manuals/en/main/Plugins.html

If you want a Bare Metal from the full Kubernetes host, than a VM/Cloud image 
level backup via API might be more practical, maybe using bpipe. Of course, it 
depends of your VM/Cloud technology,

Re: [Bacula-users] LTO tape performances, again...

[Heitor Faria]

Hello Marco,


> i have:

I usually don't like setting fixed block sizes, but letting Bacula determine. 
But Maximum Block Size = 1 MB or even a little bit more should be safe for 
LTO-9.

https://www.bacula.lat/otimizando-a-velocidade-de-fitas/

https://www.bareos.com/whitepapers/optimizing-the-tape-speed.pdf

You can use the btape speed test to verify the best values.

The File Size also exerts a role in performance, a trade-off if I remember well 
between backup and restore speeds.

Hello Marco,



> Anyway, i'm hit another trouble. Seems that creating the spool file took an
insane amount of time: source to backup are complex dirs, with millions of
files. Filesystem is ZFS.



Is the ZFS local? Does it have ZFS compression or dedup enabled? I wouldn't use 
those options for data spooling. You have to also consider the number of disks: 
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/05/zfs-versus-raid-eight-ironwolf-disks-two-filesystems-one-winner/

You can test Disks reading and writing capacity with hdparm, dd/iostat. 
https://www.bacula.lat/benchmarking-disks-reading-and-writing-capacity/?lang=en

And network with iperf: 
https://www.bacula.lat/testing-bacula-machines-network-capacity-iperf/?lang=en

I wouldn't also use Bacula compression software compression for tapes.



> How can i do to improve the spooling performance? What factors impact more?



Probably better network and better/more disks, such as Enterprise Grade 
NVMe/SSDs.

[Bacula-users] IBM TS3500 LTO7 ULT3580-TD7 Sense Key : Data Protect [current] Add. Sense: Operator selected write protect

[Heitor Faria]

Dear Bacula Users,



I wonder if someone had faced a similar problem that have been haunting me for 
weeks and I found no exact similar case on the internet.

This partitioned tape library with two drivers for the Bacula machine cannot 
perform a weof diretcly:



[root@localhost Device]# mt -f /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35005076044064c01-nst weof
/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35005076044064c01-nst: Input/output error
mt: The tape is write-protected.




And the dmesg displays the error:



[Thu Apr 18 17:32:01 2024] st 14:0:0:0: [st0] Sense Key : Data Protect [current]
[Thu Apr 18 17:32:01 2024] st 14:0:0:0: [st0] Add. Sense: Operator selected 
write protect




However, if we do an eod before weof, it displays no error.



[root@localhost Device]# mt -f /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35005076044064c01-nst eod
[root@localhost Device]# mt -f /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35005076044064c01-nst weof




But still, I cannot use the tape with Bacula, or test it with btape:



[root@localhost Device]# /opt/bacula/bin/btape  
/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35005076044064c01-nst
Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes.

And the same dmesg Data Protect message appears. 

The curious thing is we are able to write and restore some files using tar 
using the same drive, but only if we manually move the tape:



[root@localhost Device]# tar cvf /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35005076044064c01-nst

mt status as follows:

Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x5c (LTO-7).

The tapes are new, LTO7 such as the drive, the red read-only physical tape 
switches are open, no encryption is used by the drivers.

We already tried two different OSes with the same behavior. Ubuntu and Rocky 
Linux.

There are no relevant tape library error logs.

Any hints?

This guide was written by me, and it is not part of the bacula.org project.

That said, the step-by-step deployment was made using ddumbfs, despite the fact

Subject: [Bacula-users] Fix documentation on deduplication

Hy,

I've installed a bacula system using ZFS deduplication in an Ubuntu 22.4
server, and one thing that made me lose a lot of time is that there is
an error in the documentation, more specifically on this page:

https://www.bacula.lat/community/block-level-file-system-deduplication-with-aligned-volumes-tutorial-bacula-9-0-8-and-above/?lang=en

The same page is available in Portuguese, with the same problem, in the
following address:

https://www.bacula.lat/community/dedup-alinhado/

The error is at the end of the page, where it says that you can see how
much space is being used using 'df -h', but the problem is that df can't
actually see the space gain from dedup, it shows how much would be used
without dedup.

After some search, I found in the chapter 1.7 of
'https://bacula.org/whitepapers/DedupVolumes.pdf' that the proper
command for checking dedup usage in ZFS is 'zpool list', and that
command did show that dedup was working properly.

These are my outputs with the two commands:

user@bacula2:~$ df -h
Filesystem Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs  788M  2,8M  786M   1% /run

So, could someone please correct the two above mentioned pages? It would
avoid others from having the same problem.

Thank you,

Re: [Bacula-users] Again vchanger and volumes in error...

[Heitor Faria]

Hello Bill,
RDX has to working modes: disks and VTL.
Many years ago I configured it as a VTL with Bacula, and it worked very well.
For Disk mode, maybe configuring a Bacula Storage for each disk could be manageable. Or a crazier idea would be to create a CEPH cluster on the top of all disks.

Re: [Bacula-users] [Research] Tape-library udevadm info Drives Order identification

[Heitor Faria]

Hello Bill,

I will explain the reasons for that research.

RHEL 9 introduced new udev rules for tape devices creation (ID_SCSI_SERIAL):

[root@ebacula rules.d]# grep -rnw tape /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/

/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-scsi-sg3_id.rules:8:# This code used to live in 
60-persistent-storage-tape.rules.


It can be a extremely fast solution for a very old problem.

I wonder if the links order will match the Drivers physical tape library order.

In fact, what I need from the tape library users, is:

The output from the command: "for i in $(ls /dev/tape/by-id/*); do udevadm info 
--name $i |tee; done"
The output from the command: "ls -lah /dev/tape/by-id/*"
The operating system version.

Morning Cupcake (Bill),
"So, any volunteers? :)"
I not only volunteer, but I would be willing to prospect and sponsor a Brazilian QT developer to work with this project, but we need to know how to start.
I believe Git Lab is now the CBacula current developer platform: https://gitlab.bacula.org/bacula-community-edition/bacula-community
So it is just a matter of creating a specialized team. Personally I prefer WhatsApp  or Telegram groups for faster communication. Emails are for old people, and I just turned 40. =P
One key aspect for me is the lack of documentation on Windows packages cross-compiling, which is (unfortunately) the most common BAT use case.

First of all, if you are storing backups in the same production data machine this is not backup. IMHO you should try to build an integrated backup appliance with Bacula with a small or even used servers, to process and store tha backup, even if having to use SATA disks. NVMe is also surprisingly cheap nowadays. It is probably the most inexpensive, usual and relatively safer solution. 
Personally, I designed with my team and I'm selling many backup Appliances with Bacula Enterprise and our own operating system (BaculaOS), with more than 30 security enhancements, including IDS and CRC.
AFAIK Apache is present in more than 90% of the most accessed Internet websites. It is pretty safe. Many proprietary applications use Apache for critical systems. Also, Bacularis does not access Bacula volumes directly (which is the most critical data). Bacularis only access catalog via API, wich is a security abstraction layer, and confs via bjson modules. Those are also very safe IMHO.
If you are concerned with Apache security you can always use allow/deny lists, firewall rules and certificates to improve the security, among other techniques.

Re: [Bacula-users] Backup of Postgres databases using FIFO Files

[Heitor Faria]

Hello Ismael,

Please consider using bpipe: 
https://www.bacula.lat/using-bpipe-to-stream-dumps-vm-clones-and-another-data-to-your-backup/?lang=en

It is a much more automated way of performing backups using tubes. You can also 
automate the restore.

Examples from my book:

PostgreSQL

This method is very similar to the one used for MySQL. The only difference is, 
in order to automatically import the restored database into the PostgreSQL 
service, the dump must be generated in binary mode.

Restoring to a file:

 Plugin = "bpipe:/fifo/anydb.sql:sudo -u postgres pg_dump heitorpg:dd 
of=/root/anydb.sql"

Direct restore to PostgreSQL (different FIFO read and write commands):

 Plugin = "bpipe:/fifo/anydb.sql:sudo -u postgres pg_dump --format=c 
heitorpg:sudo -u postgres pg_restore -d template1 -C"

Dynamic configuration script for granular backup of all databases (example)1:

#!/bin/sh
# Suggested name: \\|/etc/bacula/scripts/bpipe-pg-db
# Set the postgres access command

You can also upgrade your Community Edition for the Enterprise one. It brings a 
PostgreSQL plugin with much more advanced and automated features, while being 
able to restore all your legacy backups. I can assist you with that if you send 
me a private email.

Also please do not use GZIP compression over level 6. It will fry your clients

Subject: [Bacula-users] Backup of Postgres databases using FIFO Files


Dear all,


One of my production Postgres databases is growing faster than anticipated and 
I'm exploring the use of FIFO files instead of writing the output of pg_dump to 
 intermediate files within /tmp structure. Currently all jobs work fine while 
using the intermediate files. But when I test with the FIFO files, data is not 
pulled from the pipes. All files are properly located, but ZERO bytes get 
backed up. The pg_dump tasks are still running after the backup job completed 
successfully. Looks like the FIFO files have not been touched by bacula-fd 
after the script ended and the "readfifo=yes" option has not been honored.


What am I missing?   Is anyone using successfully the FIFO files with postgres 
databases able to share some tips?


Many thanks in advance.


Cheers, 

Ismael



Here is the script used in the bacula clients:

# Database Backups to temporary storage
export DUMPDIR=/tmp/bacula_pgdatadump
# make the redirections to null
exec > /dev/null
rm -f -r $DUMPDIR
mkdir $DUMPDIR
mkdir $DUMPDIR/backups
mkdir $DUMPDIR/logs
pg_dumpall  -g -v -f $DUMPDIR/backups/dumpallGlobal.bkp 
2>$DUMPDIR/logs/dumpallGlobal.log
for dbname in `psql -d template1 -q -t <$DUMPDIR/logs/$dbname.log &
 done

# ends output redirection
exit


Here is the relevant section of the bacula-dir.conf file in the server:
...
Fileset {
  Name = FullSet
  Include {
    File = /etc
    File = /home
    File = /opt
    File = /root
    File = /tmp/bacula_pgdatadump
    File = /usr/local/sbin
    File = /usr/sbin
    File = /usr/share
    File = /var
    ExcludeDirContaining = .baculaexclude
    Options {
      Compression = Gzip9
      Signature = Md5
      readfifo=yes
    }
  }
  Exclude {
    File = /var/cache

"OK. I see that now. You also tried without compression and without
encryption. Have you tried reducing Maximum Network Buffer Size back to
the default 32768? There must be some reason why the client seems to be
sending 30 bytes more than its Maximum Network Buffer Size. Bacula first
tries the Maximum Network Buffer Size, but if the OS does not accept
that size, then it adjusts the value down until the OS accepts it. Maybe
the actual buffer size gets calculated differently on Debian 12? Why is
the send size exceeding the buffer size? Or could there be a typo in the
Maximum Network Buffer Size setting on one side?"

In addition to the Josh considerations, I would consider trying BBR: 
https://www.bacula.lat/bacula-e-prototoclo-bbr-para-backups-via-internet-perdas-de-pacote-desconecoes-etc/?lang=en
I have a mixed OnP+cloud customer +1000 machines situations, where this was the 
only solution for the network interruptions.
The BBR is not only more resilient to transmission contingencies (NATs, 
firewall drops, switches/router resets etc.), but also provides much faster 
throughput recovery in case of failure.
Underlying VPN is also something that, by my experience, are prone to 
disconnections that have huge impact on Linux default congestion protocol.

Whats your Bacula version?
I have an environment with the exact same problem.
The "prune expired volume yes" and "purge action=truncate ..." commands find 
zero volumes to purge.

I believe it does, but this is very easy to confirm.
You can validate the Bacula daemons configurations syntax and directives with

Re: [Bacula-users] Question about scratch pool

[Heitor Faria]

Egoitz,

The Scratch pool is a hardcoded reserved name.
"Maybe" you will be luckier setting a "ScratchPool" for each one of the 
Production pools.
Anyway: you are doing "gambiarra" (Brazilian Portuguese). 
Bacula has its own means of providing multitenancy via ACLs, Pools, users etc.
Two Directors using the same catalog is not supported, according to Kern. 
However, using (e.g.) a Pgsql cluster is supported for HA.

As long as they are two different jobs with different FileSets writing to two 
different backup pools (e.g. 5 years, 3 months), yes.
You could use a "hack" to use the Client's resource File/Job Retention, which 
is having two Client entries (just different names), for the connection to the 
same remote Bacula Client. Then you could have a single Pool and granular 
volume recycling if using "MaximumVolumeJobs=1".

Hello Enzo,

You only really need one generic Restore job as a code requirement.
Practically, it basically serves to provide the default "where=" parameter

All the other restore parameters are dinamically generated by the restore 
command.

I respect your opinion, but our mobile phones already have enough bloatware for 
the FANGs to snoop information and to play Pavlov's Dogs experiments with us. I 
can't idulge myself in this way because I gotta be where my consumer is. 
Nevertheless: "there are cases where Signal can be less private and less safe 
[than Telegram] depending on your definition – for example Signal requires use 
a phone number for connection with other users, which can have significant 
physical safety risks for many people who are targeted by stalkers. Telegram 
for example allows the use of a username instead which can be significantly 
safer for many people."

I don't think this is off-topic at all, since we are discussing other ways of

and prone to unreliability.

Normally one user does not really need to free the volume space until the 
VolumeRetention is expired and the Volume is demanded by a new backup, but I 
understand some users might want to have better control of the current real 
necessary backup disk occupation to fulfill configured retentions.

Hello Justin,

If no variable is set, Bacula appends such number, which is based on the 
MediaId value.
If you want to number the volumes according to the Pool amount, look into the 
Bacula's ${NumVols} variable.

Bacula can work with minIO, but you don't need. Bacula S3 Driver can write to 
any S3 compatible cloud.

GhetoVCB is a very well-intentioned, but extremely poor solution to perform 
VSphere VM backups in terms of performance and features. If you want a 100% 
open source solution, I would migrate to Proxmox.

I would use one Cloud Storage with the CacheRetention directive for tiers 1 and 
3. External USB (ew!) can be a Bacula Copy Job or a completely different 
redundant Job with its own Full and partials chain (e.g. Job1-cloud; Job1-usb).

As for disks, I would just use LVM or any sort of RAID to present Bacula. More 
practical.

I believe there is a strong chance your root partitions is getting full during 
the backup. 
1,3G is too low, specially if you use the bacula default Catalog backup script 
to generate a dump during the backup.

It is supposed to be in the bacula-sd.conf Cloud resource, mas it is possible

These providers do that because they think it would be very hard or even 
impossible to give support to a NAS with an OS that the user can freely modify.
Therefore, you could try TrueNAS <https://www.truenas.com/>, which is based on 
FreeBSD, or build your own (e.g.) 
<https://www.servethehome.com/buyers-guides/top-hardware-components-for-truenas-core-servers/>.
 There are a lot of recipes also on YouTube. You can usually also erase 
proprietary NAS' OS and install TrueNAS.
But returning to the main thread, I still think the best solution for Phil's 
situation would be to use a NAS built-in virtualization capabilities. I hope he 
has success anyways.

But then, even you you manage to build the SD you will probably be stuck with 
the same Bacula version forever.
I guess you haven't disclosed this specific NAS model, but you might consider 
using a VM in the QuTS Hero "Virtual Machine Sation" solution. Ref.: 
<https://www.qnap.com/en/product/ts-h886>
Then the OS is not a problem anymore.

Hello Phil,

The happiest days of my life were after I got dedicated equipment for home 
network modem, routing, and wireless mesh accessing points.
That said, I never understood this very common user fetish of installing Bacula 
components in the NAS. OK: you avoid one more network node but the hardware is 
not designed to handle the extra workload. 
Just backup the exported disk volumes with regular bacula-fds where they are 
mounted, preferrably with the ACL support.
If you want to write backups to the NAS, NFS or iSCSI if supported.

This is not a new technique. The Linux fuse library has been able to mount S3 
buckets for a long time right now. Rclone can also do the same stuff you are 
proposing (GDrive, Dropbox) for free. 
They all should work with Bacula, but I don't think they are an optimal 
solution for an array of reasons. 
I deployed a few environments with the Bacula S3 Cloud Driver 
(https://www.bacula.lat/enterprise-bacula-s3-swift-ceph-and-cloud-storage-driver-quick-guide/?lang=en)
 and Wasabi, which does not charge per egress data and charges only 5.99 USD 
per TB/m. The driver is available with the [ http://www.bacula.org/ | 
www.bacula.org ] installation packages. 
For some reason, however, I could only achieve about 2 MB/s maximum upload 
transfer rate per part. Then I had to use a greater number of 
MaximumConcurrentUploads (and Downloads) - e.g. 20. 
Eventually I was able to reach speeds close to 40 MB/s, that were suitable for 
the workload.

It all depends on your workload. For several TBs, 70 USD per LTO plus the 
autoloader (Tandberg on Amazon US for 800 USD) can easily be cheaper than a 
bunch of disks.

There is a very new, exciting feature in the Bacula Enterprise called Storage 
Group. It provides fail-over and load-balancing to the Bacula Storages.
Maybe you could create one Storage for each USB device, and let Bacula handle 
the distribution automagically. But I didn't test that yet.
It's also necessary to verify if this feature will be able for the 13.x 
community version.

Yes. There is a configure option for that: 

"--enable-build-dird 
This option causes the make process to build the Director and the Director's 
tools. By default, this option is on, but you may turn it off by using 
--disable-build-dird to prevent the Director from being built."

Hello Yateen,

IMHO one should only spam machines if required by the sizing 
(https://www.bacula.lat/bacula-sizing/?lang=en), or for network optimization 
(e.g. a SD closer to the FDs in a remote network). A SD is sufficient to backup 
about 400 machines. 
Other than that you will use more resources and have a larger surface of 
possible vulnrerabilities (the oposite of the hardening technique). But again, 
it is just my opinion. 
If you still need to make this splti I would go for option "A. Hosting 
bacula-dir and PostgreSQL together on one host, bacula-sd on another host", 
because it will be more pratical to manage the database creation and 
configuration, one less network service and a little bit safer. Director and DB 
also require different types of machines resources.

Such a large company chooses to not pay for a backup supported software and to 
reply on the community?
IMHO it tells me how serious this company is. =)

I'm not sure if you understand how GPL licensing works, but it is a software 
that comes with no support or warranties. What I mean, is all people here 
provided answers to your problem voluntarely using their free time. BTW: I'm 
pretty sure my diagnostic is right.
Also, I strongly recommend you to have a test environment to deploy features 
before putting them into production, and to not perform manual Catalog SQL 
updates.
That said, this is an user group. If you want the developers feedback you 
should address your message to: "bacula-devel" 
.

I wasn't aware of this new feature. Thanks for pointing out.
Most likely, your problem now is that these volumes were created and purged 
with old Bacula Bacula versions that didn't have this feature.
An easy workaround is just to disable or delete these volumes, or just start a 
new Pool that aims to use this new feature.

Re: [Bacula-users] Why isn't bacula recycling these volumes?

[Heitor Faria]

Hello Larry,

Your jobs do not show the need for a new volume. However, your configuration 
does not look good:

"Pool {
  Name = Default
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes   # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
  AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
  *Volume Retention = 0*
  LabelFormat="LERCTR-"
  #Use Volume Once = yes 
  #Maximum Volume Jobs = 4
  Maximum Volume Bytes=100GB
  Volume Use Duration = 12h
  Action On Purge = Truncate
  Recycle Oldest Volume = no
}"

Its unusual to have a VolumeRetention=0, in fact I believe Bacula could even 
understand it as infinite. It should mess the Bacula recycling algortithm.

Re: [Bacula-users] Why isn't bacula recycling these volumes?

[Heitor Faria]

Hello all,

"If there is no maximum volumes set, Bacula will continue to create new
volumes in favor of using existing volumes, even if
they are pruned/purged. (at least this is how it is documented and how
it is taught in Bacula Systems' Admin I course)"

I would have to perform a lab, but this doesn't look accurate at all.
I performed dozens with installations with pools with no MV set, and Bacula 
algo prefers to write to an append or recycled tape, if existent.
The only practical application mor MV (IMHO) is to limit a condition when 
Bacula enters in a bad loop and keeps trying to create an infinite number of 
volumes, but I guess this was corrected in newer versions.

Re: [Bacula-users] Slow transfer rate - MS Win 2019

[Heitor Faria]

Hello Andras,

I would use an external tool such as diskspd or any other to validate the DFS 
directory reading speed. E.g. 
<https://www.windowscentral.com/how-test-hard-drive-performance-diskspd-windows-10?amp>.
IMHO Clustered Filesystems will hardly have the same speed of regular ones. 
Hadoop has even a special command (distcp) to copy data from several nodes.
The best way of finding a performance bottleneck is the scientific. You gotta 
test each one of the involved components, including client disk reading, 
network capacity and actual negotiation (even faulty cable can matters). VSS 
snapshot also can impact, as mentioned before.

Re: [Bacula-users] dynamic fileset and /usr/global

Hello Bill,

"Currently, it is "working as designed, but not as I expect it to"™  :)"

IMHO the FileSet script hack should not work after the BeforeJob RubScript. I 
don't think it isnt even possible to make such a Bacula code change without a 
lot of effort.
It is specifically that characteristic that allows (e.g.) dynamic FileSet's 
contents generation.

Re: [Bacula-users] Restore to cifs-mounted share fails to restore timestamps

Hello Uwe,

Yes, you are right. But they are all metadata...

"After spending a day, in vain, on this, I'll just post results of my testing 
below. In short, using a CIFS share from Linux or Mac is wildly inconsistent 
regarding unix permissions and more importantly file and directory timestamps." 
Ref.: 
<https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/smb-cifs-windows-share-permissions-and-timestamps.38494/>.

From the Bacula side, I would study the FileSet ACL Support option.

Hello Andras,

How much is very low?
Bacula only displays the transfer rate after the sw compression reduction, what 
IMHO is very misleading since it is a "higher-the better" value. Worst decision 
ever.
You gotta divide the ReadBytes by the Job Duration to have the processed data 
rate. 
Anyway:

1. Please check for Windows AV presence and put the bacula-fd as an exception. 
Try again.
2. Update Bacula to the latest 11.0.5 packages from bacula.org, which has a few 
improvements.
3. Ultimately, you can manually split the FileSet in the Bacula Community 
edition to paralelize the workload and eventually achieve a better performance, 
specially for Windows different volumes.

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula-sd can't upload to AWS S3

[Heitor Faria]

Hello Otaci, 

IMHO your scenario is kind of confusing. 

1. Your service init file is using the root Linux user. Like I wrote before, 
not recommendable: 
"[Service] 
Type=simple 
User=root" 

2. You are using /tmp as cache/volume storage, what is absolutely not 
recommendable.

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula-sd can't upload to AWS S3

[Heitor Faria]

Otaci,

"sudo /opt/bacula/bin/bacula-sd -fP -c /opt/bacula/etc/bacula-sd.conf"

Please run the SD with the Linux always bacula user. Debug mode should give you 
more information. E.g.

"sudo -u bacula bacula-sd -d 200"

Hello Otaci,

If you click in the error URL it will point you what's is wrong. I believe you 
are using the wrong service AWS endpoint address:

AFAIK it is not possible to use wildcards to match volume names.

You must be able to see the volume name with the "mtx -f /dev/xxx status" 
command.
If you can't see the volume label, likely your tape was erased, written by 
another software or you have a media/drive problem.

That is not the -p function.

Yes, I already said that. It is just a matter to set up the CacheRetention 
directive to a time duration that fits your needs and don't fill the whole 
disk.

You don't need that. The Cloud Driver purpose is to optimally upload data to 
the cloud Object Storage.

"I need the backup on local network for a while, and these copies on another 
storage are automatically.
If I set the option "TruncateCache" to "No", I can create a script to copy the 
volume files to another storage, this is an solution, but I wanted to do this

Just use the storage as cache, then you don't need to copy anything to nowhere.
BTW: the directive name is CacheRetention.

Re: [Bacula-users] STORAGE DEVICES

[Heitor Faria]

IMHO the Bacula Cloud Storage runs more efficiently as single Bacula Storage 
for this scenario, where you just use the "TruncateRetention" option to retain 
your local NAS stored cache for the desired time frame. More practical.

AFAIK a SQL query is necessary to update the volumes MediaType. 
Alternatively, you can always use a copy or migrate job, to move data to new

[Bacula-users] Cloud Backup + upload command segfault. traps: bacula-sd[39055] general protection ip:7f5589651499 sp:7f555f5ed260 error:0 in libbacsd-11.0.5.so[7f5589618000+69000]

[Heitor Faria]

Hello Users, 

I wonder if someone can confirm this segfault that I found in CentOS Linux 
release 7.9.2009 (Core), bacula.org 11.0.5 packages. 
The steps to reproduce it, are: 

1. Run a significant Full, or in my case Base level backup, using the Bacula S3 
Plugin. 
2. Run a bconsole cloud upload command during the backup execution. 

My example: 

Joblog <http://dontpad.com/joblog_segfault> 
Admin upload command: "cloud upload allpools allfrompool storage=Wasabi-Marpa" 
Cloud bacula-sd.conf resource: 

### 
Cloud { 
Name = "Wasabi-Marpa" 
Driver = "S3" 
HostName = "s3.wasabisys.com" 
BucketName = "" 
Region = "us-east-1" 
AccessKey = "" 
SecretKey = "" 
TruncateCache = "AfterUpload" 
Upload = "EachPart" 
} 
### 

Segfault message: 
[Sex Jul 23 06:11:41 2021] traps: bacula-sd[39055] general protection 
ip:7f5589651499 sp:7f555f5ed260 error:0 in 
libbacsd-11.0.5.so[7f5589618000+69000] 

The bacula-sd obviously crashes after the segfault. 
I know I can use Priority=12 in the Admin Job as a workaround. Let me also know 
if it is worthy of a Mantis bug report.

Did you check the script output? 
Most likely the packages installation from bacula.org repo failed. You can

I reported a similar bug in the 11.0.2 version for CentOS. Maybe is the FreeBSD 
part not fixed. 
If you are feeling adventurous you can try to fix it from the thread

This will probably never happen due to the FHS rules pointed by Sven. I even 
spoke with him about that topic in the past. 
*Maybe* with a very special agreement with the Debian Community such as the one 
they made with RedHat (I heard of, couldn't find it) to make a few things 
standard (such as the systemd services).

I've ever heard or read about a Linux system affected by ransomware, only FUD. 
Ref.: 
<https://www.statista.com/statistics/701020/major-operating-systems-targeted-by-ransomware/>
 
Bacula is one of the top worldwide backup systems that runs on Linux. Running 
the Director and SD as the Linux bacula user is a builtin ransomware protection 
feature. IMHO bacula.org should advertise that and advise all users to only 
provide disk volumes write permissions to the bacula user. 
IMHO 2, the state-of-the-art will be when Bacula automatically set the closed 
volumes (used, full, readonly, archive, disabled) as immutable (chattr +i). 
Then, not even the root user could encrypt the disk volumes.

Most likely you chose to install also the Console for Windows, what is not 
really advisable since you probably only want to extract backups from it.
Please have a look at my notes:

The Storage Daemon is currently present in the Windows Packages. And Bacula 
Systems supports them.
I just don't understand why anyone would use an OS 1000x more likely of being 
contaminated by ransomware. =)

I think when you sed VolumeRetention=0 Bacula assumes infinite retention. 
Try 1 or 2 (seconds), or used de directive PurgeOldestVolume=yes.

Re: [Bacula-users] noticing an occasional incremental backup act like full

[Heitor Faria]

Hello Joseph,

There is no surprise in that finding.
If it is not in the catalog, it doesn't exist.
IMHO Bacula default File and Job values should be much higher, e.g. 5 years or 
unlimited. If the user have special machines with millions of files, he should 
lower the File Retention accordingly. This is the exception use case scenario.

Re: [Bacula-users] How to determine which files have been restored

[Heitor Faria]

Hello,

Yes, there is.
If you configure the bacula-fd.conf Messages resource correctly, you can use an 
option to print the restored files. I believe it is the "restored" keyword.

Re: [Bacula-users] S3 "Driver" Doesn't Work 11.0.2

Hello Kern, 

Move is not enough because the SD is looking for the plugin with both different 
names (don't ask me why). 
However, I was able to load the driver and receive a different message before 
the "not loaded message": 

cp /opt/bacula/plugins/bacula-sd-cloud-driver-11.0.2.so

Hello All, 

Just FYI, I built a new enviroment and was able to reproduce the following 
error: 

"dlopen of SD driver=s3 at 
/opt/bacula/plugins/bacula-sd-cloud-s3-driver-11.0.2.so failed:

[Heitor Faria]

Hello r0002, 

Despite of the not-working testimonials in this thread, until now I see no 
related bug reports in the Bacula bug tracker: [ 
https://bugs.bacula.org/view_all_bug_page.php | 
https://bugs.bacula.org/view_all_bug_page.php ] 
IMHO it would be of great help if you could make the bug reports with the 
maximum details, such as: 

- bacula.org package versions you are trying to install. 
- libs3 version and installation commands 
- operating system exact version 
- bacula-sd -d 200 loading debug output 
- steps to reproduce the error. 

I believe this is the fastest way of the bacula.org team to address this 
problem properly.

Of course. After less than 20 hours from the original post that was the only 
possible assumption. I guess everyone have to, voluntarily and promptly, 
provide the answers that you need.

You are not interested in solving your technical error. If that was true, you 
would bring the OS, Bacula and libs3 versions you tried, commands, inputs and 
outputs. 
IMHO you are more concerned in expressing your frustrations. It is 
comprehensible due to this hard times, I feel you. 

> I can only assume that Bacula does not test their community version very well,

Like I wrote before, free software relies most in volunteer work and comes with 
no warranty or support. 
I'm not part of the project but I believe your company (Vecna) never made a 
single contribution to it. Why are you so entitled? 

> Also, as we all know, CentOS is dead, so why not focus development on
> Ubuntu/Debian?
RHEL and CentOS were and stil are the mainstream OSs for many enterprise grade 
applications, APIs and variant distributions, such as VMware VSphere, RHV, 
Citrix Xen, Oracle Linux, Oracle DB etc. Most hardware vendors (such as Dell 
and EMC that I think you know well) only homologate hardware for RHEL, when 
they do. 
CentOS 7 still has support untill 2024. Bacula development will probably use 
and recommend the new distribution that will attend most of the enterprise 
users needs and requirements, not the one you like more or cheer for.

Re: [Bacula-users] S3 "Driver" Doesn't Work 11.0.2

[Heitor Faria]

Hello Jim, 



Ok, nobody has successfully loaded the S3 Driver. That's what I figured as I 
have tried the latest version and various 9.x versions with the same "Driver 
not properly loaded" results. The only distro I haven't tried is CentOS 7.x as 
that distro is being discontinued. I guess there is zero QA for this so-called 
plug-in. Time to start looking for another backup solution. 



I think you missed that part where GPL software comes for free to the company 
that you work, but without any kind of support or warranty. You can always 
build the code yourself and make it work, or acquire a software license with 
support. 
That said, your error is most likely caused by not having the the proper libs3 
packages maintained by the bacula.org project. The reason for this, if I 
remember right, is that the original libs3 author is not updating the libraries 
to keep up with the S3 protocol evolution. 
That drawback was highly advertised and discussed in this very same list: 

BQ_BEGIN

"[snip] ... S3 driver: If you are trying to build the S3 drivers, please 
remember to use the 
community supplied (from Bacula Enterprise) version of libs3 .so found at: [ 
https://www.bacula.org/downloads/libs3-20181010.tar.gz |  
https://www.bacula.org/downloads/libs3-20181010.tar.gz ] " 

BQ_END

You have to download them and build them from source. On CentOS 7 I had success 
using the following script: 

yum install curl libcurl-devel libxml2 
cd /usr/src 
wget https://www.bacula.org/downloads/libs3-20200523.tar.gz 
tar -xzvf libs3-20200523.tar.gz 
cd /usr/src/libs3-20200523 
make 
make install 

Nevertheless, the Bacula Enterprise version Drivers and Plugins come with all 
builtin necessary libraries. These ones are tested by a highly skilled QA team, 
they work out-of-the-box, and they support all clouds (not only the S3 
protocol). Perhaps you should consider that due to your high quality standards.

You can also use the bextract with the -i /tmp/list (e.g.) option, and this 
list contains one wildcard expression per line of restore included contents. 
For example: 

cat /tmp/list 
/projects/2020/220089/* 

It will be faster than the bscan and catalog rebuilding plan.
