[Bacula-users] Possible missing SD Device resource configuration options

[Josh Endries]

Hi all,

I just upgraded to 2.0 and have been going through my configuration 
files (converting to per-client Devices). I noticed a couple definitions 
in my old 1.38 Device {} sections that are not mentioned in the manual. 
The first is Automatic Mount, is this still valid (was it ever? am I 
crazy?)? The other is mentioned in Basic Volume Management but not in 
the SD Device page: Label Media. Is this still valid? I get no errors 
currently from including them, so I figure I'll copy them over just to 
be safe, but maybe the manual needs to be updated.

[Bacula-users] Problems getting TLS working between FD and Director

[Josh Endries]

Hello,

Trying to get TLS going. I have it working between Dir/console 
(including remote), and Dir/SD, but can't get it working between Dir/FD. 
I followed , which 
is pretty good. Most of my confusion was where to put what, not what to 
put in the files. When I test it on the director (locally consoled) I get:

*status client
The defined Client resources are:
  1: client1
Select Client (File daemon) resource (1-15): 1
Connecting to Client client1 at x.x.x.x:9102
Failed to connect to Client client1.

And in the log file on the director I see:

23-Jan 15:24 director: *Console*.2007-01-23_15.22.52 Fatal error: 
Authorization problem: Remote server did not advertise required TLS support.

I can manually telnet to it, so I know it's connecting. I ran the 
client's FD (Windows) in debug mode and didn't see any sort of error 
message in the trace file. Before I go pasting my config files...the 
most probable reason this doesn't work is that the client is 2.0.1 and 
the server is 1.38.11 (AFAIK, TLS doesn't exist in the 1.38 Win32 
clients). Maybe the TLS advertisements are different between those versions?

Hi Arno,

Thanks for the response.

I don't think so, I understood how things worked where I was looking, 
but wasn't looking in the right place. After reading your response I 
found the explanation in the "Basic Volume Management" section. Maybe a 
link between the two sections would be useful.

Okay, that's what I thought. Thanks for confirming.

Ah-ha! I think I understand now, and ironically while looking for the 
"Tips and Suggestions" section to respond to your question above, I 
found the "Basic Volume Management" section in which it pretty plainly 
says I will "need multiple Device resources in your bacula-sd.conf file, 
and thus multiple Storage resources in your bacula-dir.conf."

> More detailed information about your pools and job settings would be 
> helpful to explain that.

I write one job per volume, and currently all volumes are in one place, 
e.g. "/var/bacula/monthly-0003". After reading some more, I think I 
should be able to make four more identical (except for Name) Device and 
Storage resources that all point to the same directory and it will be 
able to write up to five jobs at once.

I was planning on splitting my volumes up, however, so each client had 
their own directory and volumes, e.g. "/var/bacula/foo.domain.com/0001" 
and "/var/bacula/bar.domain.com/0001", which I think means I would need 
additional Device and Storage defnintions each with their own Media 
Types, like "Media Type = File-foo.domain.com". I'll have to think about 
if I still want to do that and how to organize it...maybe just different 
pools.

Is there a way to prevent Bacula from killing the job after just a few 
seconds of waiting for the volume? Last night I had a large backup 
running and eight incremental jobs failed because they couldn't mount a 
volume...I can see this happening in the future if there is a large 
backup or two, even if I have a number of Devices, so maybe that's not 
the best course of action. Is there some sort of timeout option? Would 
data spooling take care of this?

Thanks again,
Josh

[Bacula-users] Problem/confusion regarding running concurrent jobs.

[Josh Endries]

Hello,

I have about 20 clients backing up to disk (all 1.38.11) and I'd like to 
run at least a few of them simultaneously but can't get it working. The 
manual mentions Maximum Concurrent Jobs all over the place and nowhere 
does it explain well how to get this to work. The best place I found was 
in the "Configuring the Director" page within the Job resource section 
(search for "distinct" on that page).

I think I understand what I need to do, but I don't understand why. I 
currently have Maximum Concurrent Jobs set to 5 in my bacula-dir.conf 
(director and storage resources) and in bacula-sd.conf (storage 
resource). This seems, to me, to be all I should need to do in order to 
get this to work. According to the manual, the storage resource in 
bacula-sd.conf defaults to 10 so I shouldn't even need to set that.

According to the Job section mentioned above, I also need to set it in 
my director's client and job resources (which for me are in separate, 
included files). I don't understand why this is necessary. I don't want 
"Job A" to run multiple times, nor do I want "Client A" to run multiple 
jobs... I want "Client A" to run "Job A" and "Client B" to run "Job B" 
at the same time, do I need to set concurrency in my clients and jobs in 
order to do this? If so, that doesn't make any sense to me; why is that 
the case?

The error I get is something like, "trying to write to volume daily-0002 
but storage is currently writing to daily=0001".

Thanks,
Josh

I still can't figure this out. I can't believe it's such a HUGE PITA
getting disk-based backup and restore to work with Bacula. It should be
easy. WTF. I'm so freaking frustrated right now. Dammit.

[Bacula-users] Trouble restoring from a disk backup

Hello,

I'm having trouble restoring from a File device. The backup says it runs
OK, and a verify job says the backup is OK, but the restore job gives me

Ugh, this is so frustrating. Now Bacula won't load any tapes from my
autochanger to write to...and I still can't get btape to run. If I
load a tape manually, then run a job in bconsole, it works. If I
start a job without any tape loaded, it never tries to load a tape;
it just checks for loaded tapes and then dies. Here is what I get

Yep, everything is just like yours, root:operator and 660 except for
the links. Both root and bacula are in the operator group (they were
before I upgraded from 1.36.3 also). I've tried mode 666 also so I
don't think it's file permissions...

Hello,

I tried upgrading to 1.37.38 last night. Things were going okay but
it couldn't find the end of medium so I tried running btape again,
now I'm getting this:

This is on FreeBSD 5. Everything else seems to work okay, mtx and
mt, loading unloading offline etc., my changer script works also
(mtx-changer with offline enabled). Permissions on the tape device
are correct (660)...not sure what it could be. :/ One thing that
makes me wonder is that it says opening for writing but later says
read only...but even with 666 perms it did that.

[Bacula-users] "Network send error" and "Broken pipe"

[Josh Endries]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

My backups were working good for the past few days but this morning I
got a bunch of errors. I'm using the latest stable on FreeBSD 5.4,
with a 1x10 VXA AutoPak autochanger. The first client backed up OK
but every other client (six) got errors. Most were similar to this:

11-Sep 01:00 backup-dir: Start Backup JobId 709,
Job=client_Daily_Backup.2005-09-11_01.00.02
11-Sep 01:00 server: Spooling data ...
11-Sep 01:02 client: client_Daily_Backup.2005-09-11_01.00.02 Fatal
error: backup.c:477 Network send error 32784 to SD. ERR=Broken pipe
11-Sep 01:00 backup-dir: client_Daily_Backup.2005-09-11_01.00.02
Error: Bacula 1.36.3

One of them had this to say:

11-Sep 01:07 backup-fd: client_Daily_Backup.2005-09-11_01.00.06 Fatal
error: ..\filed\../../filed/backup.c:477 Network send error 2988 to
SD. ERR=An established connection was aborted by the software in your
host machine.

It appears that bacula-sd died, though I have no idea why. I've had
successful runs with the same concurrency, this was differential so
there shouldn't be much more data than previously, timing hasn't
changed (re: cron tasks)... Any ideas?

Thanks,
Josh

[Bacula-users] Core dump with 1.36.3 on FreeBSD 5.4, "Fatal Error because: Bacula interrupted by signal 10: BUS error"

[Josh Endries]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

I noticed someone else had the same error a couple months ago. My
test server's director died this morning mid-backup with the "BUS
error" in the subject:

"Fatal Error because: Bacula interrupted by signal 10: BUS error"

It's running on a Pentium machine, backing up five clients.
Everything else kept running fine, only the director died. It isn't
64-bit or non-Intel CPU. I'm not sure off the top of my head about
the chipsets. Could this be due to RAM? The machine isn't
particularly beefy, but has been running okay for a few weeks now.

Okay, that's good news...now to just get it working. ;)

I did what I found in the manual. Most concurrency settings are fine
by default, there was two changes I think (Director and Job?). I
relabeled all the tapes in the changer (that weren't labeled or had
other labels) and put them all in the same pool but it still isn't
working... Here is my config, maybe something is wrong that I don't
understand or I'm missing. I've tried everything I can think of...

[Bacula-users] Concurrency with a single tape drive?

[Josh Endries]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Is it possible to have multiple clients back up nightly to a bacula
server with one autochanger?

I've been trying to get mine going with three test clients but, even
though spooling works, it does them one at a time. The only thing I
can think of is because of the tape drive, but I thought spooling
would alleviate that. The concurrency on the device is default
(should be one), maybe I need to raise that for it to work, and
spooling would take care of the mixed-job problem? I dunno...

Eventually I would like to run a full backup to tape on Sunday and a
differential to disk Mon-Sat, which is what our current system does,
but if I can't do that (yet?) that's okay.

Thanks,
Josh

Thanks for the response. It's spooling now, but concurrent jobs
aren't yet working. Getting closer, though!

I have "Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 4" set in my director conf in the
Director, JobDefs and Job resources. I have one tape drive
(autochanger), so I left it out of the Device resource to limit that
to 1, but with spooling that shouldn't make Bacula run one job at a
time, correct? According to the manual all I should need to do is set
it in the Director resource in the director config, if I understand
that correctly. I have a different Job for each client, so I don't
think I need to specify it in the Client resources.

Director {
   Name = backup-dir
   DIRport = 9101
   QueryFile = "/usr/local/share/bacula/query.sql"
   WorkingDirectory = "/var/db/bacula"
   PidDirectory = "/var/run"

[Bacula-users] Spooling to disk and concurrency

[Josh Endries]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I've been trying to get Bacula to spool to disk and run concurrent
jobs but it just isn't working...backing up works one-by-one but
nothing gets spooled to disk in the meantime. Is there a way to
force it to spool, or is it supposed to always spool, or is there
some other way to test it? Does it only spool if there are
concurrent jobs running? I have "Spool Data = yes" in my Device
config and my JobDefs.

I also can't seem to get multiple jobs to run. I've been using 'run'
from within bconsole, maybe that's why? I have "Maximum Concurrent
Jobs = 4" in my Director and JobDefs config, but it is to a tape
drive so I have that default (1). Spooling is supposed to make this
possible, though, correct?

Thanks,
Josh
