[Bacula-users] Scheduled jobs not showing up
I've just set up a new Bacula server, using the Bacula 9.4.4 RPM. It's running on an up-to-date CentOs 7 system. It's working, but I've run into an oddity: Right now, I have 4 NFS filesystems mounted on the same system, I'm using the local Bacula client to backup these 4 shared filesystems. I've created a separate job for each, and each job is referencing a different FileSet. Each one is also using a different schedule. When I use the bconsole "run" command, they all show up, and each works on it's own. When I use the bconsole "status" to show the scheduled jobs, it only shows the first two jobs configured in the client config. To be safe, I've commented out each job, done a reload and showed the status again, and it continues to show the first two jobs configured. I don't know if the jobs will actually run or not, looking for some info on this.

Re: [Bacula-users] backing up to S3
This is very interesting, I'm very interested in learning more. So, let me see if I understand this properly: 1. You get an S3 account 2. You install s3fs (from github) 3. There is a config option in the s3fs to use a cache, and somehow you specify the EBS volume as the cache 4. Bacula is then configured to back up to the s3fs I'm sure there is more details, and am eager to learn about this. I'm going to have a few weeks to learn about it while I recover from surgery next week (donating a kidney), so will be watching for your reply. Thanks Jonathan Bayer On 6/10/2015 6:32 PM, Tim Dunphy wrote: Hey there Heitor! Nice to hear from ya bud!! I actually did get this to work. The key that lead to success was to add a 'use_cache' option. I basically assigned a 10GB EBS volume just to use as a cache. It was just an experiment, and I planned on getting did of the 10GB EBS and get one much smaller to use later. But what I found is that the 10GB volume filled up to 8.5GB during backups and restores! Everything worked, but it appears that a large cache is the only answer. Almost defeats the purpose of using S3, but not quite I hope. I think what was happening previously was that S3FS was hitting some sort of default cache limit and dying out. It'll be interesting to see how this pans out. Cuz I was planning on adding a number of new hosts to backups that I previously couldn't afford to due to the expense of storing my backup tapes on EBS. S3 is way cheaper. I can let you guys know how it goes if you're intetested.

[Bacula-users] Changing retention times
I have a need to change the retention times of a number of jobs, both completed and new ones. New ones as in the jobs have been defined for a long time, and I need to change the config to reduce the retention time.

[Bacula-users] multiple archive devices
Hi,
Have a problem with an existing setup.
We do backups to disk, here is one of the device definitions:
Device {
Name = FileStorage
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /mnt/baculaStorage
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}
The archive device is starting to run out of space. Is it possible to
have multiple archive devices for a single device definition?
Thanks in advance

Obviously, server1 can access server2's database. I'm wondering how others have solved this problem. I have a couple of options here: 1. Do a pg_dump on server1 (it has the space) and then backup the dump file 2. Do the same on server2 instead 3. Set up a PITR backup on server2 4. Do a simple file system backup. This requires shutting down the database while the backup is in progress. so, I'm curious. Any responses? Thanks in advance.

Re: [Bacula-users] Good web interface??
I finally traced my problem with Webacula down to the following lines in
the index.php:
if ( APPLICATION_ENV == 'production') {
Zend_Session::regenerateId();
}
This is on a CentOS 6 system, with the full php-ZendFramework installed:
php-ZendFramework-full-1.12.7-1.el6.noarch
PHP 5.3:
php-5.3.3-27.el6_5.x86_64
Once I commented out that line with the regenerateId, it works fine.
Any ideas?

Maybe a permission issue from your web process user to execute bconsole.

Re: [Bacula-users] My file retention is 30 days, but restore says no files found..
Well, if it has been more than 30 days, the entries for each file has been pruned from the database. However, the job is being retained for 6 months. If the files have been pruned, you still have the option to restore ALL files from a job, until the job itself is pruned.

Seems like you asked for a full restore, and one or more of the jobs which were in the list were more than 30 days old.

[Bacula-users] Question about runbeforejob
The manual states the following: Run Before Job = command The specified command is run as an external program prior to running the current Job. This directive is not required, but if it is defined, and if the exit code of the program run is non-zero, the current Bacula job will be canceled. So when a job is canceled, is it reported as an error? I need to know because I'm thinking about using this mechanism to control job schedules, but if it is reported as an error then our reports will also show errors, which we don't want to do since we show them to upper management.

Hi,
From what level want you get information about running jobs? (bconsole,
database).
I think that there is easy way to do this from database level. You may
run below SQL query:
SELECT COUNT(job.name) FROM job WHERE job.jobstatus IN ('C','R');
Above SQL query may be called from bconsole level as well. For example
by using sql bconsole command. It allows to call SQL queries from
bconsole level but then you will need to use additional tools for
strings operations (sed, awk, etc.).
For writing script purpose here you are examples usage bconsole requests
in shell scripts:

[Bacula-users] Script to find/delete disk volumes which are no longer used
Hi,
We are using Bacula to backup a number of VMs. The backup is being done
to disk volumes.
The configuration I've set up is still being tuned. In the meantime, I
found that there are a number of disk volumes which, which the file(s)
themselves are rather large, all the files on the jobs which are in that
volume have been expired, so the physical volume itself can be deleted
both from the database and the disk.
I've written a script which I've included below. I'd appreciate any
comments on it. Hopefully this will help someone else.

Re: [Bacula-users] Storage different backup question
ok. First, thanks for cc'ing the list :-) Next, regarding the priority of pools and other things specified, so is the following statement correct?: Item specified in referenced items will override earlier items. For example, if a pool is specified in a Job, and then specified in a JobDefs line, the pool in the referenced jobdef will override the pool in the job. Similiarly, if a schedule is then referenced AFTER the fileset is referenced, a pool in the schedule will override the pool(s) in the fileset, jobdefs and original job. Thanks.

Hello all,

Is this possible? If so, how?
Jonathan, you can do that in the Schedule resource as John said, which is the
way I like to do it. (last Run line wraps, but should be on one line)
Schedule {
Name = Daily
Run = Full Pool=FullPool 1st Fri at 23:00
Run = Differential Pool=DiffPool FullPool=FullPool 2nd-5th fri at 23:00
Run = Incremental Pool=IncPool DifferentialPool=DiffPool FullPool=FullPool /
mon-thu at 23:00
}
But you can also do it in the Job resource itself:
Job {
Name = Backup_A
--[snip]--
Full Backup Pool = FullPool
Incremental Backup Pool = IncPool
Differential Backup Pool = DiffPool
}
Hope this helps!

Have you tried configuring onefs = no?
If you wish to backup multiple filesystems, you can explicitly list
each filesystem you want saved. Otherwise, if you set the onefs option
to *no*, Bacula will backup all mounted file systems (i.e. traverse
mount points) that are found within the*FileSet*.
Doing this way you does not need to specify / and /usr. Just the
effective directories. Am I doing some confusion here or this solves
your problem?

[Bacula-users] Having a problem getting readfifo to work
Running Bacula 5.2
I'm trying to backup a Postgresql database using fifo's. The following is
the fileset:
# List of files to be backed up
FileSet {
Name = Postgresql dump
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
readfifo = yes
}
File = /var/lib/pgsql/data/dump/globalobjects.dump
File = /var/lib/pgsql/data/dump/fifo/otrs.data.dump
File = /var/lib/pgsql/data/dump/fifo/otrs.schema.dump
File = /var/lib/pgsql/data/dump/fifo/postgres.data.dump
File = /var/lib/pgsql/data/dump/fifo/postgres.schema.dump
File = /var/lib/pgsql/data/dump/fifo/template1.data.dump
File = /var/lib/pgsql/data/dump/fifo/template1.schema.dump
}
}
The following is exerpted from the client config:
# This creates a backup of the databases with pg_dump to fifos
Client Run Before Job = su - postgres -c
\/etc/bacula/bin/make_pg_database_backup\
# This deletes the backup and fifo files
Client Run After Job = su - postgres -c
\/etc/bacula/bin/delete_pg_database_backup\
The first script starts pgdump on each of the fifo's for each database.
I've verified that that is working by manually catting the fifo to a temp
file by hand, after the job finished.
I did a reload at the bconsole prompt, and then did a full backup.
Bacula does a backup, but it doesn't copy any data from the fifo.
I'm obviously missing something, but what?
Thanks in advance

[Bacula-users] Auto-labeling of media
Hi, We are using Bacula for local backup, to local hard disks. I am looking into some sort of remote system, where I can copy files there for backup. I'd like to be able to have Bacula open a new disk file, and automatically label it with a sequential number for every backup. This way I can use rsync to sync the directories between the local system and the remote system. Is there any way to do this? JBB -- Come build with us!

[Bacula-users] Bacula mixing up pools and mount points
Hi,
Running Bacula 3.0.1 on an Ubuntu 9.05 system.
Main backups are done to an internal hard disk. Pool is called
Internal, volume name is Internal
VirtualFull backups are done to an external hard disk. Pool is called
External, volume name is D1
The internal pool is mounted in: /var/lib/bacula/archive
The external pool is mounted in /media/bacula
The external pool is accessed using the NextPool keyword.
Bacula gets the pools confused. It looks for the D1 volume at the
internal pool location
This doesn't make sense, it is trying to both read and write at the same
location.
Any ideas?

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula mixing up pools and mount points
I have a temporary solution, will send another message later after I've
conducted a few more tests.
I simply created a new label on the external drive, so now the drive
contains two labels. Now it is able to read both the internal backup
AND the original VirtualFull backups, and write the new backup to the
new label on the same physical drive.
I will still have to test what happens when _another_ virtualfull backup
is done, I want to see if it will then read from the second and write to
the first.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula mixing up pools and mount points
That doesn't make sense, because the only storage I reference is the internal storage. The only reference to the external storage is in the internal storage. However, I may have found the problem. I turned on tracing and set the debug level to 999. In the SD trace file, I found the following lines: bayer-sd: askdir.c:259-465 dir_find_next_appendable_volume: reserved=1 Vol= bayer-sd: askdir.c:276-465 dird CatReq Job=Clonezilla.2009-06-15_14.07.22_12 FindMedia=1 pool_name=External media_type=File bayer-sd: askdir.c:182-465 dird 1000 OK VolName=D1 VolJobs=14 VolFiles=63 VolBlocks=4225968 VolBytes=272625134040 VolMounts=30 VolErrors=0 VolWrites=7652227 MaxVolBytes=0 VolCapacityBytes=0 VolStatus=Append Slot=0 MaxVolJobs=0 MaxVolFiles=0 InChanger=0 Vo lReadTime=2864375580 VolWriteTime=6009223552 EndFile=63 EndBlock=2042194391 VolParts=0 LabelType=0 MediaId=5 bayer-sd: askdir.c:205-465 do_reqest_vol_info return true slot=0 Volume=D1 bayer-sd: vol_mgr.c:541-465 find_read_vol=D1 found=1 bayer-sd: vol_mgr.c:690-465 Found in read list; cannot write vol=D1 bayer-sd: askdir.c:296-465 Volume D1 is in use. bayer-sd: askdir.c:276-465 dird CatReq Job=Clonezilla.2009-06-15_14.07.22_12 FindMedia=2 pool_name=External media_type=File bayer-sd: askdir.c:182-465 dird 1901 No Media. Apparently it is opening the D1 volume for reading, and because of that, can't write to it. My guess is that the virtual full is opening ALL old backups for the job, even if they have been superceded by a newer full backup. This would also explain why it works when I purge the external volume. So I think that I need a way to exclude backups on a particular volume(s) for a virtual full backup. Any ideas?

Same media type (File), two different devices. In fact, I can see this happening in many environments. What about a site that has multiple tape drives, all of the same type? This is a bug, not a Feature For now, I've solved the problem by putting two labels on the same external drive. This way it can read from one and write to the second.

From the docs, this means my assumtion was incorrect. The Storage resource may also be specified in the Job resource, but the value, if any, in the Pool resource overrides any value in the Job. This Storage resource definition is not required by either the Job resource or in the Pool, but it must be specified in one or the other. If not configuration error will result. I'd still look at the storage on the job's log. You may want to choose to put the storage= in the schedule resource just to make sure. It's also important to NOT use the same media type for volumes handled by different storage devices that don't really share the same set of volumes. But this is EXACTLY what I'm doing. Same media type (File), two different devices. In fact, I can see this happening in many environments. What about a site that has multiple tape drives, all of the same type That is fine if a user can insert the media from one drive to the other. If they are in separate locations or you do not want to switch media back and forth between devices its best to make them different media type so bacula does not request media that you will not have. OK. So how do I make the media type different if they both are disk-based volumes? (re-read the manual) Oh. So if I simply name the external type as ExternalFile, that would work? So even if the physical media is the same, you give each a different Media Type, right? I am confused at that. A single volume can only have 1 label. Also you really should be limiting your volume size on both media in some way (max volume size, use volume once ...) otherwise you will have to recycle the entire volume when it eventually fills up. Actually, I have two external drives. I rotate them, keeping one off-site. When I bring the off-site drive here, I purge the volume which is on it. This is done as a minimal disaster recovery solution. I'm not crazy about it, but it does work. I think when you created what you call a new label you actually created a second volume on the hard drive. I think you are correct. There are two volumes on a single hard disk. Because it is a hard disk, each volume is a different file.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula mixing up pools and mount points
I got excited when I read the description of the VirtualFull option. In my excitement I neglected to re-read the description of the storage types. My mistake, thank you all for your comments.

This is more of a way to inform bacula that X media can only be used in Y storage. And X1 media can only be used in Y1 storage. It makes no difference to bacula if X and X1 are the same physical type bacula just knows that should be handled different.

[Bacula-users] Error on internal filesystem
My Bacula 3.01 system (installed on Ubuntu 9.04) is doing File backups to an internal, terabyte volume. Bacula is using PostgreSql as a database backend. The system is an Ubuntu 9.04 desktop system, with a terabyte internal volume for the backups, and an external terabyte volume for VirtualFull backups Bacula was downloaded and compiled from bacula.org The system is set up to do a VirtualFull backup to an external USB terabyte disk drive, using the NextPool parameter in the pool. Both filesystems are formatted as ReiserFS. The storage subsystem has two devices set up, both are set for Media Type = File, but each is set for a different archive device. I have two issues here: First, for some reason, after a while, it decides that the VirtualFull backup fails.Other than the following section in the log file, there is no other information given. The second problem is that even though the error occurred on the External pool, using the ExternalFileStorage, on volume D1, the volume which is marked in error is the volume on the Internal pool, volume Internal In the bacula-sd.conf, the Maximum Concurrent Jobs is set to 1. In bacula-dir.conf, the director has Maximum Concurrent Jobs set to 1, both for the director and for the two storage devices. In bacula-fd.conf, There are two significant problems here. First, is that an error is being reported on a filesystem which is brand new, completely tested, and no errors are shown in the system log. The second, and more serious, is that the wrong volume is being marked as being in error. This totally negates the value of a backup, since a perfectly good backup is marked as being in error. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I've attached (sanitized) copies of the bacula-dir.conf and bacula-sd.conf (hopefully they will come through). If the attachments don't come through, let me know and I'll email them to whoever is interested.

Re: [Bacula-users] VirtualFull backup bug
Additional info (trouble with my original email address, so am using
this one for now)
I purged the volume on the external pool, and tried restarting one of
the jobs which were failing. This time it is working.

Hello Bacula-users,
I'm having a problem with a VirtualFull backup.
I have a single schedule and two Pools. This system is doing
backups to disk drives.
Essentially, I do all my backups to an internal drive, then when
those are done I want to do a VirtualFull backup to an external
drive. Both drives are 1 terabyte drives.
All my backup jobs use these pools and schedule.
Some of the virtualfull backups have worked properly, but now that
there is some data on the drives, I get the following error. It
apparently is trying to mount a volume which is in the External pool
on the internal pool.
Any ideas?
