5th June would be more correct ..
if "Incr-0001" is written on 1 May, then 1 May + 35 days = ~5 June

To clarify a little bit: I'm doing a full backup per month and a daily
incremental backup (with Use Volume Once)

Don't forget that volume retention takes precedence over any job
retention and that it's it read from the catalog, so don't forget to
bconsole -> update if you change them ..!

Re: [Bacula-users] Does Sony AITI100 work fine with Bacula ?

[Julien Cigar]

Hello Michael,

I've the same tape drive here and I have sometimes write errors. I think 
that I made something wrong in the configuration but I can't find it ...
Do you have anything species in the bacula-sd.conf file ? Also, which 
SCSI card do you have

Thanks,
Julien

[Bacula-users] write error

[Julien Cigar]

Hello,

sometimes I have "write error" messages during my full backup (on tapes) :

12-Oct 18:44 phoenix-sd: BebifFullBackup.2005-10-12_06.00.00 Error: 
block.c:552 Write error at 15:111 on device /dev/st0. ERR=Input/output 
error.
12-Oct 18:44 phoenix-sd: BebifFullBackup.2005-10-12_06.00.00 Error: 
Error writing final EOF to tape. This tape may not be readable.

dev.c:1213 ioctl MTWEOF error on /dev/st0. ERR=Input/output error.

any idea what could be the reason to this ? I'm quite sure the problem 
is not the tapes ...


Thanks

Re: [Bacula-users] write error

[Julien Cigar]

Thanks for replying

The tape is:

phoenix:/var/backups# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00
 Vendor: SONY Model: SDX-500C Rev: 010f
 Type:   Sequential-AccessANSI SCSI revision: 02

and the controller is:

phoenix:/var/backups# cat /proc/scsi/aic7xxx/0
Adaptec AIC7xxx driver version: 6.2.36
Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI adapter
aic7880: Ultra Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=0, 16/253 SCBs
Allocated SCBs: 5, SG List Length: 102

I runned the btape test and it was successfull

What is strange is that I get this message for about one backup on ten 
and not with the same tape ... (I thought first that it was a defect 
tape ... but no)


thanks,
Julien

You don't mention what type of tape device.  Did you run btape test?

Re: [Bacula-users] write error

[Julien Cigar]

Did you use the cap command to list tape capabilities?  Did you run a
fill test to ensure that Bacula can fill up a tape and write on to the
next?  There are several capabilities that are crucial for Bacula.


I runned all the tests which are in the documentation and they completed 
successfully.
What is the 'cap' command you are talking about ... ?


Do all backups fill a tape, or does this occur only when you completely
fill a tape?


it occurs randomly, sometimes after 10go, sometimes at the end, ...

I think it's going to require more information to isolate it.  Have you
used the drive with other software and verified that it works properly?


it worked fine with Amanda. I didn't tried with other softwares ...

Run btape, and type 'help'.  It'll show you all the commands, including
this one:

[Bacula-users] unicode ?

[Julien Cigar]

Hello,

I'm busy to upgrade the backup machine :
kernel: 2.4.27 -> 2.6.15
bacula: 1.36.3 -> 1.38.9
database: sqlite 2 -> postgresql 8.1.4 (with the database in unicode utf-8)
locales: iso8859-15 -> utf-8

Everything works fine, except that I get those messages when running a job :

26-Jun 11:25 phoenix-dir: canis-job.2006-06-26_11.21.41 Fatal error: 
sql_create.c:851 sql_create.c:851 insert INSERT INTO Filename (Name)

Does bacula support UTF-8 ?

Thanks for your answers,

My locales are en_US.UTF-8, the PostgreSQL database is in UTF-8 too 
(fresh install) .. everything is in UTF-8
What do you mean by "the filenames have to be UTF-8 to work" ? Setting 
en_US.UTF-8 for the locales isn't enough ?

okay thanks ! (I thought changing locales + NLS in the kernel was enough)

[Bacula-users] status dir

[Julien Cigar]

Hi !

I'm using 1.38.9 (Debian) with PostgreSQL (8.1.4)

Am I the only one to have this kind of message : 28-Jun 12:39 
phoenix-dir: Pruning oldest volume "Canis-Incr-Disk-0001" when I do a 
*status dir ? (nothing is pruned of course)

(Complete output is available on 
http://rafb.net/paste/results/xCvfPR87.html)

Thanks

Yep it's turned on, but I have this messages every time I do a *status

Beacause I get this message *all* the time, and I have a tail -f 
/var/log/postgresql/postgresql.log while doing *status dir, and nothing 
is pruned ...

The tapes are new .. and the drive isn't too old I think. Do you think 
it could be a bad SCSI cable ?

[Bacula-users] block.c:263 Volume data error at 0:0! Wanted ID: "BB02", got "". Buffer discarded.

[Julien Cigar]

Hello !

Another strange error I have today ... I did a :
*umount tape-st
$> tapeinfo -f /dev/st0
$> mt -f /dev/st0 status

Then when I issue a mount command in the bconsole to remount the drive I 
get the following :

*mount
The defined Storage resources are:
 1: tape-st
 2: disk-st
Select Storage resource (1-2): 1
block.c:263 Volume data error at 0:0! Wanted ID: "BB02", got "". Buffer 
discarded.
3902 Cannot mount Volume on Storage Device "sony SDX-500C" (/dev/st0) 
because:
Requested Volume "" on "sony SDX-500C" (/dev/st0) is not a Bacula 
labeled Volume, because: ERR=block.c:263 Volume data error at 0:0! 
Wanted ID: "BB02", got "". Buffer discarded.
3905 Device "sony SDX-500C" (/dev/st0) open but no Bacula volume is mounted.
If this is not a blank tape, try unmounting and remounting the Volume.
*


Any idea ? The tape was labeled before of course ...

Thanks,
Julien

[Bacula-users] Last chance before I throw this @#! tape drive through the window ...

[Julien Cigar]

Hello list,

I have always problems with my tape drive and Bacula. A problem 
resolved, another appears.
I'm despaired to make this drive working with Bacula ... this is my last 
mail before I plan to backup on disk only (which is a pity enough ..).

First my complete configuration :

OS: Linux (Debian) with kernel 2.6.15

Bacula: 1.38.9 with PostgreSQL (8.1.4)

Tape drive:
Sony SDX-500C (AIT2)
phoenix:/var/backups# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00
  Vendor: SONY Model: SDX-500C Rev: 0204

Tape drive is on ID 06:

This is the problem I currently have :

I followed the bacula documentation about "variable block size" (setblk 
0) and to init the drive correctly under linux (stoptions 7).
Here are the full operations I made:

phoenix:/etc/bacula# mt -f /dev/nst0 setblk 0

Seems that I don't have such device ... :

phoenix:/home/jcigar# tapeinfo -f /dev/sg0
cannot open SCSI device '/dev/sg0' - No such file or directory

I've always used /dev/st0 or /dev/nst0, but I also have the following :
nst0a
nst0l
nst0m

st0a
st0l
st0m

I never try them ... but I don't think it's the cause of my problem :(

Julien

Okay,

I've added the "sg" module to the kernel but unfortunately it doesn't 
solve the problem (I've still those block.c:263 Volume data error at 
0:0! Wanted ID: "BB02", got "". Buffer discarded messages)  BUT ... 
I've tried with a 2.4 kernel and it seems to work !! It means that 
Bacula has still some problems with 2.6.x kernels (?) .. or simply that 
the my scsi card driver is buggy under 2.6.x ...

In fact I always do this _before_ launching the bacula storage daemon :
mt -f /dev/nst0 stoptions 7
mt -f /dev/nst0 setblk 0

Re: [Bacula-users] Last chance before I throw [EMAIL PROTECTED] tapedrivethrough the window ...

[Julien Cigar]

Brett,

(Under Linux it's "stoptions" in place of "setstoptions".)

Under kernel 2.6 I have no results in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages

Under kernel 2.4 I have this:
Jul 14 11:30:32 localhost kernel: st0: Mode 0 options: buffer writes: 1, 
async writes: 1, read ahead: 1
Jul 14 11:30:32 localhost kernel: st0:can bsr: 0, two FMs: 0, fast 
mteom: 0, auto lock: 0,
Jul 14 11:30:32 localhost kernel: st0:defs for wr: 0, no block 
limits: 0, partitions: 0, s2 log: 0
Jul 14 11:30:32 localhost kernel: st0:sysv: 0 nowait: 0

When I boot (under kernel 2.6) I noticed:
Jul 14 15:36:49 localhost kernel: scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI 
SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 7.0
Jul 14 15:36:49 localhost kernel:

st0<4>st0: try direct i/o: yes (alignment 512 B), max page reachable by 
HBA 1048575

As you can see the drive starts with a fixed block size of 32k. So after 
the boot, I stop all the bacula daemons and I setblk 0 and stoptions 7 
(buffer write + async writes + read ahead). Then I relaunch the bacula 
daemons.
Is it possible that the kernel or the driver (or ...) "resets" the block 
size after a mt -f /dev/nst0 setblk 0 and an ejecting of the tape from 
the tape drive ? (I checked with mt -f /dev/nst0 status but it's still 
on '0' so I presume that the drive is still in variable block mode).

Another question, is it possible that it fails because I don't *umount 
before ejecting the tape ? (I press on the eject button of the tape drive)
In fact the people who have to change the tape when they received a mail 
should not access bconsole (too complicated ...), so all they have to do 
is to press on the button and put the other tape (so without having to 
*umount).

Many thanks,
Julien

Re: [Bacula-users] Last chance before I [EMAIL PROTECTED] tapedrivethrough the window ...

[Julien Cigar]

ok ! I found why defblksize and sesetoptions didn't work ...
I'm running Debian and I had to install mt-st package (seems that I had 
an obscure GNU version of mt (?)).
Now those options are recognized.

Let's try to make some backup/restore tests ... and see if it works ...

Re: [Bacula-users] Internal Bacula Proxy

[Julien Cigar]

Hello,

I have a similar installation (public ip are fake):

10.0.0.2 = bacula director + storage daemon
10.0.0.3 = client to backup
...
10.0.0.254 / 164.15.0.1 = NAT gateway
134.184.0.1 = client to backup
...

in the Storage resource on the director (10.0.0.2) I have the public IP 
of the NAT gateway (164.15.0.1) :

Storage {
Name = tape-st
Address = 164.15.0.1
SDPort = 9103
Password = "xxx"
Device = "sony SDX-500C"
MediaType = AIT2
Autochanger = no
MaximumConcurrentJobs = 1
}

On the NAT gateway (10.0.0.254) I have the following rules:

Simple port forwarding :
$IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i $INTIF -s 10.0.0.$IP1 -d $EXTIP 
--dport 9103 -j DNAT --to 10.0.0.2:9103
$IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i $INTIF -s 10.0.0.$IP2 -d $EXTIP 
--dport 9103 -j DNAT --to 10.0.0.2:9103
(...)

This is the important rule (SNAT):
$IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p tcp -d 10.0.0.2 --dport 9103 -o 
$INTIF -j SNAT --to $EXTIP

The following should be set too if -P FORWARD is DROP for example :
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $EXTIF -s 134.184.0.1 -o $INTIF -d 10.0.0.2 -p 
tcp --dport 9103 -m state --state NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

(...)

the routes are like this :
source internal : 10.0.0.x -> 164.15.0.1 -> 10.0.0.2 (port forwarding + 
SNAT)
source external : 134.184.0.x -> 164.15.0.1 (port forwarding)

Hope it helps

Re: [Bacula-users] Last chance before I throw [EMAIL PROTECTED] tapedrivethrough the window ...

[Julien Cigar]

Hello Kern,

Indeed, I've already read the "tape testing chapter" and the FAQ at 
least three times, made the btape test and the btape fill twice (with 
success ...), tried with block positionning = no, with minimum block 
size = 1024 and maximum block size = 1024, ...

However, it *seems* to work for now ... I'll be fixed monday (the full 
backup jobs runs every sunday at 3:00am).

Re: [Bacula-users] Running Down Permission Problems and Running A Secure Setup

Only the bacula file daemon should be run as root ... which is quite

Run the upgrade script. You probably upgrade Bacula without upgrading 
the database.
Also, please note that SQLite isn't recommended in "production"

[Bacula-users] The number of files mismatch

[Julien Cigar]

Hello,

===
Bacula: 1.38.11
Os: Linux (Debian), kernel 2.6.17
Tape drive: Sony SDX-500C
Scsi card: Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI
===

I'm using Bacula for months and it worked fine until today:

05-Oct 03:00 phoenix-sd: Volume "Full-Tape-0018" previously written, 
moving to end of data.
05-Oct 03:01 phoenix-sd: phoenix-job.2006-10-05_03.00.00 Error: I cannot 
write on Volume "Full-Tape-0018" because:
The number of files mismatch! Volume=67 Catalog=34
05-Oct 03:01 phoenix-sd: Marking Volume "Full-Tape-0018" in Error in 
Catalog.

Any idea what could be the cause of this ?

Also, I have 18 volumes in my catalog (Full-Tape-0001 to 
Full-Tape-0018), and today Bacula had to start from Full-Tape-0001 again 
(recycling).
My tapes were written sequentially (from Full-Tape-0001 to 
Full-Tape-0018), but I noticed that Bacula pruned only volumes 
Full-Tape-0001, Full-Tape-0004, Full-Tape-0008, Full-Tape-0010. I don't 
understand why because volume Full-Tape-0003 has been written before 
Full-Tape-0004 and Full-Tape-0003 has not been pruned ... (I have a 
Volume Retention of 30 days).

Thanks for answers,
Julien

Re: [Bacula-users] The number of files mismatch

[Julien Cigar]

Thanks for reply.

I read that in the manual, but unfortunately I haven't interrupt a 
backup, and Bacula didn't crashed ...
What's strange is that the backup starts at 03:00am, and the last full 
backup completed sucessfully

The last full jobs completed successfully, with no write error or so.
The only problem could be a database issue (I'm using PostgreSQL) ... 
but I'm pretty sure that it's not the case

This is my pool definition :

Pool { 
Name = full-tape-pool
PoolType = Backup
LabelFormat = "Full-Tape-"
Recycle = yes
RecycleOldestVolume = yes
MaximumVolumes = 18
MaximumVolumeJobs = 0
VolumeUseDuration = 0
VolumeRetention = 30 days
CatalogFiles = yes
AutoPrune = yes
AcceptAnyVolume = no
}

and for the jobs I haven't modified the job retention or file retention.
All I want in fact is that the tape gets recycled after 30 days.

In this case Full-Tape-0004 has been purged, but not 0003 and 0002 
(which is incorrect because the last written comes before) :
|  11 | Full-Tape-0002 | Full  | 87,664,052,882 |   92 |
2,592,000 |   1 |0 | 0 | AIT2  | 2006-07-24 05:24:59 |
|  33 | Full-Tape-0003 | Full  | 70,990,768,430 |   75 |
2,592,000 |   1 |0 | 0 | AIT2  | 2006-07-31 03:50:22 |
|  39 | Full-Tape-0004 | Purged| 90,224,088,423 |   92 |
2,592,000 |   1 |0 | 0 | AIT2  | 2006-08-01 06:03:19 |

When I query those tapes (Full-Tape-000[2|3]), no jobs are on them :
(...)
14: List Jobs stored for a given Volume name
15: List Volumes Bacula thinks are in changer
16: List Volumes likely to need replacement from age or errors
Choose a query (1-16): 14
Enter Volume name: Full-Tape-0003
No results to list.

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula purges wrong volume according to lastwritten

[Julien Cigar]

I had exactly the same problem two weeks ago and I still haven't found 
an explanation why Bacula do this ...

Perhaps there is a bug in Bacula recycling process when you only specify 
a Volume Retention (lower than a Job  / File Retention) ? But in the doc 
said : "The *Volume Retention* is applied independently of the *Job 
Retention* and the *File Retention* periods defined in the Client 
resource. This means that all the retentions periods are applied in turn 
and that the shorter period is the one that effectively takes precedence. "

So ...

Strange, I'm running 5.2.6 on FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE with Postgresql 8.4.11

Maybe the problem occurs only when spooling is enabled? (I don't use

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula hang waiting for storage

[Julien Cigar]

Yes the SCSI card is an Adaptec (I replaced it today with a QSI Logic to
see if I have better results).
The OS is FreeBSD 7.0-p6 (32 bits) with the ahc driver.
What's strange is that I can write many jobs without any problems, but
then it suddenly fails, always with the same error (Error writing final
EOF to tape.)
I posted a message on the freebsd-scsi mailing list some days ago, but I
didn't get any answer :
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-scsi/2008-November/003706.html
I'm less and less sure that it's a driver/OS issue, but rather a Bacula
bug (but I could be wrong).

Best regards,
Julien

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula hang waiting for storage

[Julien Cigar]

Hello,

as I said some times ago I tested with a QSI card :

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:7:0:class=0x01 card=0x53492050 chip=0x10201077

vendor = 'QLogic Corporation'
device = 'QLA1020/104x Fast-Wide-SCSI "Fast!SCSI IQ" Host
Adapter'
class  = mass storage
subclass   = SCSI

and I've still the same problem :

Could it be a bug in Bacula ?

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula hang waiting for storage

[Julien Cigar]

Hi Ralf, here is my config :

Device {
  Name = "Sony SDX-700C"
  Media Type = "AIT"
  Archive Device = "/dev/nsa0"
  Device Type = tape
  Autochanger = no
  Always Open = yes
  Volume Poll Interval = 1 hour
  Removable Media = yes
  Random Access = no
  Requires Mount = no
  Hardware End of Medium = no
  Backward Space Record  = no
  Backward Space File= no
  Fast Forward Space File = no
  BSF at EOM = yes
  Two EOF = yes
  Close on Poll= yes
  Offline on Unmount = yes
}

To label a new tape I do the following :
# mt -f /dev/nsa0 rewind
# mt -f /dev/nsa0 weof 2
# bconsole
* label
* 

Regarding the hardware problem I'm 100% sure that it doesn't come from
the SCSI card (I tried with 2 differents, an Adaptec and a QSI), it
doesn't come from the tape drive too because I had the same problem in
the past with a Sony SDX 500C, the medias are OK too (sometimes it fails
with a media that didn't fail in a previous rotation cycle), and I
tested with another SCSI cable too. The only thing I haven't changed is
the SCSI terminator ..
What's strange is that all the it happens randomly (it could run 5+ jobs
without any problem).

Best regards,
Julien

Yes, apparently it's needed for FreeBSD :

gemini# pwd
/usr/ports/sysutils/bacula-server/files
gemini# cat pkg-message.server.in

NOTE:

An auto-changer manipulation script based on FreeBSDs
chio command is included and installed at

  ${PREFIX}/sbin/chio-bacula

Please have a look at it if you want to use an
autochanger. You have to configure the usage in

  ${PREFIX}/etc/bacula-dir.conf

Take care of correct permissions for changer and
tape device (e.g. /dev/ch0 and /dev/n[r]sa0) i.e.
they must be accessible by user bacula.

Due to lack of some features in the FreeBSD tape driver
implementation you MUST add some OS dependent options to
the bacula-sd.conf file:

  Hardware End of Medium = no;
  Backward Space Record  = no;
  Backward Space File= no;

With 2 filemarks at EOT (see man mt):
  Fast Forward Space File = no;
  BSF at EOM = yes;
  TWO EOF= yes;

With 1 filemarks at EOT (see man mt):
  Fast Forward Space File = yes;
  BSF at EOM = no;
  TWO EOF   = no;

NOTE: YOU CAN SWITCH EOT model ONLY when starting
  from scratch with EMPTY tapes.

It is also important that all the scripts accessed
by RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob will be executed by
the user bacula.  Check your permissions.

For USB support read the bacula manual. It could be necessary
to configure/compile a new kernel.

Look at ${PREFIX}/share/bacula/update_bacula_tables for
database update procedure. Details can be found in the
ReleaseNotes

  Please read this file:

%%DOCSDIR%%/ReleaseNotes

  as installed by docs port for the upgrade procedure.

IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTES FOR THIS RELEASE:

- bacula-client and bacula-server do not need to be simultaneously 
upgraded.

Read the ReleaseNotes for further information.

Yes, I made all the suggested tests (several times) and everything was

Ok.. good to know.

To configure the SD I just did a "mt -f /dev/nsa0 geteotmodel", it
replied with 2 filemarks at EOT and then I followed the instructions of
the port maintainer (as I have almost no idea how to adjust most of
those parameters).

Anyway, if the btape tests passes with those values I can be relatively
confident that they are safe for my tape drive (and that the SCSI
cable/terminator is OK) ?

Julien

This may be a stupid question but, how do you know if you need to set
EOT to one or two filemarks ? Apparently this one depends of the
hardware, but I haven't seen anything in my tape manual for that ..

I think it's an Ultra, there are only two connectors on it (plus one to
connect to the SCSI card). Actually it's configured as this :
SCSI CARD == TAPE DRIVE == TERMINATOR

Just to be sure that everything is compatible (as I'm not a SCSI
expert), the tape drive has the following interface : 
- Embedded SCSI interface (Ultra160LVD, Single-ended or Low Voltage
differential)

but the SCSI cards I tested are not U160, the last one was one from
QLogic :
- QLA1020/104x Fast-Wide-SCSI "Fast!SCSI IQ" Host Adapter'

and at boot it's detected as :

sa0 at isp0 bus 0 target 5 lun 0
sa0:  Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device 
sa0: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit)

I hope everything is compatible (U160 vs SCSI 2 ?)

Thanks for your help,
Julien

Re: [Bacula-users] The number of files mismatch!

[Julien Cigar]

You can switch EOT model only when starting from scratch with empty
tapes, so that's normal ...

[Bacula-users] MTEOM

[Julien Cigar]

Hello list,

We've bought a new tape drive here, a Sony SDX-700C (AIT-3), with new 
tapes. I'm running Bacula 1.38.11 under (Debian) Linux (2.6.18)
I've run the btape test / btape fill with success. The tape is 
initialized correctly (variable block mode + ...) :

phoenix:/home/jcigar# cat /etc/stinit.def
{buffer-writes read-ahead async-writes}

manufacturer=SONY model = "SDX-700C" {
mode1 blocksize=0 compression=1
}

phoenix:/home/jcigar# mt -f /dev/nst0 status
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=0, block number=0, partition=0.
Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x32 (AIT-3).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (4101):
 BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN

Unfortunately I got an error this morning :

01-Feb 03:27 phoenix-sd: Volume "Full-Tape-0001" previously written, 
moving to end of data.
01-Feb 03:27 phoenix-sd: canis-job.2007-02-01_03.00.00 Error: Unable to 
position to end of data on device "sony SDX-700C" (/dev/nst0): 
ERR=dev.c:839 ioctl MTEOM error on "sony SDX-700C" (/dev/nst0). 
ERR=Input/output error.

01-Feb 03:27 phoenix-sd: Marking Volume "Full-Tape-0001" in Error in 
Catalog.

Any idea what it could be ... ?

Thanks

Yes, it runs fine since one month, and it's the same tape I've used for 
the tests (after the test I made an mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind ; mt -f 
/dev/nst0 weof ; mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind ; $> bconsole ; *label).

I will try with another tape to see ...

Re: [Bacula-users] Tape error.

[Julien Cigar]

Sorry to ask this again, but .. it could be one of the reason why my
tape drive doesn't work properly: 
is it not safe to press the eject button when the tape is mounted by
Bacula (AlwaysOpen=yes) but no jobs are running ? If it's not safe then
I suggest to add a remark about this in the FAQ ...

I didn't send any mail about that today, but I had problems with one
tape drive (sony sdx 500c) in the past (which has been replaced now),
and I think that the reason could be that I've always pressed the eject
button while the tape was mounted by Bacula.

then the Linux SCSI kernel driver for the Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI is
buggy, because I'm able to eject the tape while it's mounted. I will
test it on FreeBSD.

[Bacula-users] Retention problem

[Julien Cigar]

Hello,

I used Bacula at work with backup on tapes, and it works perfectly.
Now I'd like to install it at home for personal backups (on disk).

I do a weekly full backup each sunday 6am and a daily incremental backup 
each day at 9pm.
It's for personal use so I only want a full backup volume and 7 
incremental volumes (one volume per day).


It runs now for one week but today an incremental backup has been 
promoted to a full backup :


31-Oct 23:59 mordor-dir: No prior Full backup Job record found.
31-Oct 23:59 mordor-dir: No prior or suitable Full backup found. Doing

As you can see the last FULL backup has been made on volume 
WeeklyFull-0001 the 2005-10-30 (this is correct).
The next day the incremental backup has been made on volume 
DailyIncremental-0001 which is correct too.
But today the incremental backup has been promoted to a full backup on 
DailyIncremental-0002 and I don't understand why because a full backup 
has been made two days ago ... ?


Thanks

[Bacula-users] Still problems with my Sony tapes

[Julien Cigar]

Hello,

I writed a mail some weeks ago for a problem with my Sony drive (write 
errors).

The drive is a Sony SDX-500C on a Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI.
Someone told me to upgrade the bios of the drive, which I did. It worked 
fine for a week, but now I'm still having writing error messages :


Nov  7 06:01:46 localhost kernel: st0: Error with sense data: <6>st0: 
Current: sense key: Medium Error

Nov  7 06:01:46 localhost kernel: Additional sense: Write append error
Nov  7 06:01:46 localhost kernel: Info fld=0xfc00
Nov  7 06:01:46 localhost kernel: st0: Error with sense data: <6>st0: 
Current: sense key: Medium Error

Nov  7 06:01:46 localhost kernel: Additional sense: Write append error
Nov  7 06:01:46 localhost kernel: Info fld=0x1
Nov  7 08:42:26 localhost kernel: st0: Error with sense data: <6>st0: 
Current: sense key: Unit Attention
Nov  7 08:42:26 localhost kernel: Additional sense: Not ready to 
ready change, medium may have changed

Nov  7 08:47:37 localhost kernel: st0: MTSETDRVBUFFER only allowed for root.

What happens is, it backs up perfectly fine for a while backup,
restoring from tape works too! Then all of a sudden it starts giving an 
error ...
I don't think it's tape related, the tapes are new and the problem 
occurs only randomly ...

I've checked the cable too

Any idea welcomed ...

You think I can ignore the problem ?

All the errors at 06:01 appear to me to be typical write errors that one often 
gets on DDS tapes. From what I see, the drive recovered and continued. I 
doubt that Bacula was even aware of the problem -- though you can check in 
the Job report.


The errors are 8:42 are a bit worrysome. I would attempt to correlate them 
with what Bacula was doing.  It may only be that Bacula asked for a new tape 
and tried to read while there was nothing in the drive, or it may be some 
real failure.


The "error" at 8:47 is apparently after you restarted the FD. It attempts to 
set the tape to variable tape format, and your kernel forbids the request 
(ioctl) if the SD is not being run as root. This can be ignored if your tape 
drive mode is set properly before starting the SD.

[Bacula-users] restore with "warning file count mismatch" message

[Julien Cigar]

Hello,

I ran a restore job today, and the job ended with a "Restore OK -- 
warning file count mismatch" termination status :

I asked on the bacula irc channel on freenode and someone told me that 
it's a known bug (can someone confirm ?).
Does such a termination status mean that some of my files haven't been 
restored ... ? or is it just a bug in the file counter or so .. ?


In advance thanks

Re: [Bacula-users] Still problems with my Sony tapes

[Julien Cigar]

I think I found the problem.
I changed the scsi id of the tape drive from ID 0 to ID 6 and it *seems* 
to work better (I did a full backup and no problems occured yet). I read 
that apparently ID 0 and ID 1 should not be used for tape drives (it's 
for booting devices only ...)

You think I can ignore the problem ?
When I list media you can see that the tape Weekly-0003 has not been

Well, that answers the question I had: the drive could not recover from the 
error, and it *did* notify Bacula.  In principle, Bacula stopped writing when 
the tape/drive got the error, so your backup should be good, but personally, 
I would be very worried whether the data on the tape was readable or not. 

At a minimum, I would start doing Verifys of all my tape jobs to ensure that 
the tape can be read -- they are slow, but at least you will know.  I would 
also try doing a btape "fill" on the tape that got the errors (after ensuring 
that all the files are backed up elsewhere). If it fails, I would trash the 
tape.


The best solution is to get a DLT or SDLT drive.  

If you cannot, one thing that I noticed here with my HP drive is that tapes 
from some manufacturers fail all the time, and tapes from others last two 
years before failing (under heavy use).  For example, if I remember right, I 
have no problem with Sony tapes in my drive, but Imation tapes cause me 
problems (or vise-versa). I forget because I only use the drive for testing, 
and I frequently need to throw out tapes.  The only way you can know is to 
try tapes from different manufacturers in your drive, and the only thing I 
can say for sure, is that for my drive, there is a lot of difference between 
tapes from different manufacturers.

Hello,

I writed a mail some weeks ago for a problem with my Sony drive (write

The drive is a Sony SDX-500C on a Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI.
Someone told me to upgrade the bios of the drive, which I did. It worked
fine for a week, but now I'm still having writing error messages :

Nov  7 06:01:46 localhost kernel: st0: Error with sense data: <6>st0:

What happens is, it backs up perfectly fine for a while backup,
restoring from tape works too! Then all of a sudden it starts giving an
error ...
I don't think it's tape related, the tapes are new and the problem
occurs only randomly ...
I've checked the cable too

Any idea welcomed ...
   


All the errors at 06:01 appear to me to be typical write errors that one
often gets on DDS tapes. From what I see, the drive recovered and
continued. I doubt that Bacula was even aware of the problem -- though
you can check in the Job report.

The errors are 8:42 are a bit worrysome. I would attempt to correlate them
with what Bacula was doing.  It may only be that Bacula asked for a new
tape and tried to read while there was nothing in the drive, or it may be
some real failure.

The "error" at 8:47 is apparently after

Do you have any other SCSI devices on that chain?  Or is the tape
drive the only device?  Generally people do put the tape drives higher
up the SCSI number chain, but that's because they used to default to
SCSI ID 0 as the root disk.

Now, you might still have problems, because 6 or 7 could be the ID of
the SCSI controller itself.  In this case, I suspect it's 7, but it's
something for you to check.

John

only device.
You're right, the scsi id of the controller is 7 (it was 1 before, I've 
also changed this)

[Bacula-users] Compression ?

[Julien Cigar]

Hello,

I wondered how I could activate or desactivate compression on the same fileset 
for
differents jobs and differents pools/medias ?
I explain my problem :
I do a full backup weekly on tape and a daily incremental backup on disk. 
The problem is that I would like to use the hardware compression of the
tape drive for the full backup and the software compression for the
incremental backup.
What can I do in this case ? I haven't found anything to override the
compression parameter (in a Schedule ressource for example) of the Fileset ...

Thanks,
Julien

On my linux box it's on the same device name (/dev/st0). Compression is 
activated through a jumper or with th 'mt' program ...
What I would like to do is to enable/disable compression (GZIP6) for the

Keep in mind that hardware compression is often handled by using a

if this helps (and you're probably already aware of this). As for 
using software compression in only some cases, that is another question.

[Bacula-users] Exclude / Include in a FileSet ressource

Hello,

Small question, is there a difference between :

Exclude {
 File = *.mp3
}

and :

Include {
 Options {
   Exclude = yes
 }
 wildfile = "*.mp3"
}

If there is no difference, why it the usefullness of Exclude {} ?

Thanks,

As for nearly everything in life, there is more than one way to do it.

Exclude {} is simpler but more limited.

 

Thanks for answer... one last question : can I put the WildDir / 
WildFile directives in a file to use with @/foo/bar/myfile in an Include 
{ } ressource ? Something like:

Include {
   Options {
   IgnoreCase = yes
   Exclude = yes
   }
   @/foo/bar/myfile
}

/foo/bar/@myfile :

WildFile = "*.mp3"
WildFile = "*.mpc"
WildFile = "*.ogg"
WildFile = "*.wav"
WildFile = "*.bak"
WildFile = "*.tmp"
WildFile = "*.pyc"

In the documentation only File= is mentionned : "Any name preceded by an 
at-sign (@) is assumed to be the name of a file, which contains a list 
of files each preceded by a "File ="."

Re: [Bacula-users] RHEL3 - problem accessing Quantum SDLT Scsi tape

[Julien Cigar]

it seems that the bacula-sd daemon have no permission to write on your 
tape device.
You probably runned the ./btape test as root, and the bacula-sd daemon 
runs as another user (ex: tape).
You should either change the permission on /dev/nst0 (dirty) or add the 
bacula daemon to the correct group (look at /dev/nst0).

What is in /etc/bacula/includes/global and /etc/bacula/includes/canis?  If
they contain any Options clauses with wild/regex patterns then these might

What is in /etc/bacula/includes/global and 
/etc/bacula/includes/canis?  If
they contain any Options clauses with wild/regex patterns then these 
might

match before the exclude.

__Martin



Please excuse me if this has already been discussed.  I have missed 
most of the thread.  However, there is some known issue regarding 
excludes and wildcard pattern matching with Bacula 1.36.x when it is 
running on FreeBSD.  It may persist in the newest version too.  I 
can't remember the details but if you're using FreeBSD, you might want 
to search the archives.


HTH,

I'm running Debian Linux with Bacula version 1.36.3-2

[Bacula-users] incremental upgraded to full ..

[Julien Cigar]

Hello,

I'm running Linux Debian with Bacula 1.36.3 and sqlite.

I have two clients (canis and bebif) to backup, three pools: one for 
full backup (for both client), and two for incremental backups (one for 
each client).
(In fact I have more clients, but those are not problematic because I do 
only a full backup of them once a week)

I do:
- FULL backup of CANIS every monday at 3:00 AM
- FULL backup of BEBIF every tuesday at 3:00 AM
- INCREMENTAL backup of BEBIF and CANIS every day at 20:00 PM

Here is the Pools definition:


# P O O L  #


# FULL

Pool { 
   Name = tape-pool-full

   PoolType = Backup
   LabelFormat = "Full-"
   Recycle = yes
   RecycleOldestVolume = yes
   MaximumVolumes = 18
   MaximumVolumeJobs = 0
   VolumeUseDuration = 0
   VolumeRetention = 30 days
   CatalogFiles = yes
   AutoPrune = yes
   AcceptAnyVolume = no
}

# INCREMENTAL

Pool { 
   Name = bebif-pool-incremental

   PoolType = Backup
   LabelFormat = "Bebif-Incremental-"
   Recycle = yes
   RecycleOldestVolume = yes
   MaximumVolumes = 15
   MaximumVolumeJobs = 1
   VolumeUseDuration = 0
   VolumeRetention = 10 days
   CatalogFiles = yes
   AutoPrune = yes
   AcceptAnyVolume = no
}

Pool { 
   Name = canis-pool-incremental

   PoolType = Backup
   LabelFormat = "Canis-Incremental-"
   Recycle = yes
   RecycleOldestVolume = yes
   MaximumVolumes = 15
   MaximumVolumeJobs = 1
   VolumeUseDuration = 0
   VolumeRetention = 10 days
   CatalogFiles = yes
   AutoPrune = yes
   AcceptAnyVolume = no
}

Everything works fine, except that sometimes an incremental backup is 
upgraded to a full backup without any reasons.


Here is the list jobs output (I hope it will be readable) :

It looks like you have two different jobs defined, called canis-job-full and
canis-job-incremental.  If so, that is not the correct way to run incremental
backups.  Instead, you want one job called canis-job which is scheduled with
different levels and pools.  See the "Automated Disk Backup" example in the
manual.

__Martin
 


You're right, I have two differents jobs for each client :

Job {  
   Name = canis-job-full

   Type = Backup
   Level = Full
   Client = canis-fd
   FileSet = canis-fs
   Messages = Standard
   Storage = tape-st
   Pool = tape-pool-full
   MaximumConcurrentJobs = 1
   Schedule = canis-sched-full
   RescheduleOnError = yes
   RescheduleInterval = 5 hours
   RescheduleTimes = 0
   WriteBootstrap = /var/lib/bacula/canisfullbackup.bsr
}

Job {  
   Name = bebif-job-full

   Type = Backup
   Level = Full
   Client = bebif-fd
   FileSet = bebif-fs
   Messages = Standard
   Storage = tape-st
   Pool = tape-pool-full
   MaximumConcurrentJobs = 1
   Schedule = bebif-sched-full
   RescheduleOnError = yes
   RescheduleInterval = 10 hours
   RescheduleTimes = 0
   WriteBootstrap = /var/lib/bacula/bebiffullbackup.bsr
}

Job {
   Name = canis-job-incremental
   Type = Backup
   Level = Incremental
   Client = canis-fd
   FileSet = canis-fs
   Messages = Standard
   Storage = disk-st
   Pool = canis-pool-incremental
   MaximumConcurrentJobs = 1
   Schedule = default-sched-incremental
   RescheduleOnError = no
   MaxStartDelay = 5 hours
}

Job {
   Name = bebif-job-incremental
   Type = Backup
   Level = Incremental
   Client = bebif-fd
   FileSet = bebif-fs
   Messages = Standard
   Storage = disk-st
   Pool = bebif-pool-incremental
   MaximumConcurrentJobs = 1
   Schedule = default-sched-incremental
   RescheduleOnError = no
   MaxStartDelay = 5 hours
}

I didn't know it doesn't work like this, thanks

 snipp! 

As I don't have very much experience with DLT tapes:
Does this indicate a worn out tape or should I simply clean the drive 
with the cleaning tape?


How many backups should be possible with a DLT tape / at which 
intervals should a tape be changed?


At which intervals should the drive be cleaned?

In this case, the current job is still running and waiting for another 
tape. Is there an option to let bacula abort the job, if such an error 
occurs?


Cheers,

[Bacula-users] automatic mount

[Julien Cigar]

Hello list !

I'm using bacula 1.36.3 under debian linux (testing) with a 2.4 kernel.
My tape drive is a Sony SDX-500C (SCSI).

The backup machine runs for several months now without problem. At the 
moment when Bacula wants another tape I manually eject the tape, put 
another one in the tape drive and enter a mount request in bconsole.


At the end of the month I take my holidays, and the people who are 
supposed to change the tapes should have nothing more to do than eject 
the tape and insert a new one, without having to enter a mount request 
in bconsole.


After reading the manual, I added this in the device ressource in 
bacula-sd.conf file:

VolumePollInterval = 1 hour
CloseOnPoll = yes
OfflineOnUnmount = yes

but it doesn't work as expected... The tape is correctly ejected, but 
when I put another one and try a *mount in the console (for testing) I 
got the "3001 Device /dev/st0 is mounted; doing acquire." message... but 
nothing is done.
After several minutes, I get a message : "08-Feb 17:13 phoenix-sd: 
phoenix-job.2006-02-08_17.06.49 Warning: Couldn't rewind device /dev/st0 
ERR=dev.c:406 Rewind error on /dev/st0. ERR=Input/output error."


(I runned the btape test sucessfully.)

Any idea what I did wrong ?

Thanks (and sorry for my english)

I emailed this error to the list about a month ago, but Kern wasn't 
sure it was a bacula issue. Search in the archives for "End of Volume 
error" and you'll see my thread. What's your hardware setup? I'm 
wondering if we can find a common variable at fault here...


Best,
Ian

I see. This is the very same problem I've been trying to  track  down
for some time. See the threads stared by these postings:

No, I didn't find any of these messages. However, at the time of the tape full 
message the attached messages showed up in the syslog. Unfortunately I am not 
able to digest them into any correctional activity. But at least I understand 
that some hardware error may be involved.



No, this is most likely NOT a hardware issue;  I  have  this  problem
reproducable on several systems with different tape drives; it popped
up  suddenly  with  a software update, but that's not the only factor
that seems to play a role - the same software runs  fine  on  a  slow
system  (old  P  II 400 MHz box) but fails reliably on a fast machine
(Athlon 3000+). I see it with  different  SCSI  controllers,  and  at
least  with  bacula 1.38.5 and 1.38.6; my latest speculation was that
it had something to do with certain (pre 2.6.12) kernel versions, but
you mentioned that you're running FC5, i. e. a later kernel, so  this
does not fit.

  


I have those problems from time to time on a 2.4 kernel too (bacula 1.36.3)


Try running a plain kernel.org (i. e. non-FC)  kernel  -  and  please
report if this changes anything for you.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

[Bacula-users] minimum volume retention period

[Julien Cigar]

Hello,

In the Bacula manual I read that :

"However, one must keep in mind that if your Volume Retention period is
too short, it may prune the last valid Full backup, and hence until the
next Full backup is done, you will not have a complete backup of your
system, and in addition, the next Incremental or Differential backup
will be promoted to a Full backup. As a consequence, the minimum Volume
Retention period should be at twice the interval of your Full backups.
This means that if you do a Full backup once a month, the minimum Volume
retention period should be two months."

I don't understand why the minimum volume retention should be at least
twice the interval of the full backups .. ?

In my configuration I do a full backup every month with a volume
retension period of 45 days, and a daily incremental backup with a
volume retension period of 35 days. I don't need archives on a long
term, 1 month is enough, but I need to be able to restore a file which
has been modified 20 days ago for example (on a daily basis, that's why
I make an incremental backup every day).
If I follow the Bacula manual, the minimum volume retension should be at
least 2 months, but I don't understand why ? In my case, an incremental
backup will never be promoted to a full, right ? For example :

1 may 0:00 am : Full backup -> volume "Full-0001"
1 may 8:00 pm : Incremental backup -> volume "Incr-0001"
2 may 8:00 pm : Incremental backup -> volume "Incr-0002"
3 may 8:00 pm : Incremental backup -> volume "Incr-0003"
...
31 may 8:00 pm : Incremental backup -> volume "Incr-0031"

1 june 0:00 am : Full backup -> volume "Full-0002"
1 june 8:00 pm : Incremental backup -> volume "Incr-0032"
2 june 8:00 pm : Incremental backup -> volume "Incr-0033"
3 june 8:00 pm : Incremental backup -> volume "Incr-0034"
...
(around 15 june Incr-0001 should be recycled)

1 july 0:00 am : Full backup -> volume "Full-0001" (recycled)

etc

So in this configuration I will always have a valid Full backup every
month and an incremental backup for every day of this month, and I don't
see any situation where an incremental backup would be promoted to a
full or that my last valid full backup would be pruned.. ?, so why
should the minimum volume retention be at least twice the interval of
the full backups (60 days in this example) ?

Thanks for your answers,
Julien

Re: [Bacula-users] postgres tuning?

[Julien Cigar]

Stephen Thompson wrote:


Hello everyone,

We recently attempted a mysql to postgresql migration for our bacula 
5.0.2 server.  The data migration itself was successful, however we are 
disappointly either getting the same or significantly worse performance 
out of the postgres db.


I was hoping that someone might have some insight into this.

Here is some background:

software:
   centos 5.5 (64bit)
   bacula 5.0.2 (64bit)
   postgresql 8.1.21 (64bit)


Why 8.1 ..? 8.1 is more than 5 years old ...


   (previously... mysql-5.0.77 (64bit) MyISAM)

database:
   select count(*) from File --> 1,439,626,558
   du -sk /var/lib/pgsql/data --> 346,236,136 /var/lib/pgsql/data

hardware:
   1Tb EXT3 external fibre-RAID storage
   8Gb RAM
   2Gb SWAP
   2 dual-core [AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2220] CPUs


Some of the postgres tuning that I've attempted thus far (comments are 
either default or alternatively settings I've tried without effect):


#shared_buffers = 1000# min 16 or max_connections*2, 8KB each
shared_buffers = 262144 # 2Gb


This is too large, set shared_buffers to something like 256-512 MB


#work_mem = 1024# min 64, size in KB
work_mem = 524288   # 512Mb


Don't forget that work_mem is allocated *per-operation* (maybe several 
times per query). 512 MB seems too large for me



#maintenance_work_mem = 16384   # min 1024, size in KB
maintenance_work_mem = 2097152  # 2Gb
#checkpoint_segments = 3  # in logfile segments, min 1, 16MB each
checkpoint_segments = 16
#checkpoint_warning = 30# in seconds, 0 is off
checkpoint_warning = 16
#effective_cache_size = 1000# typically 8KB each
#effective_cache_size = 262144  # 256Mb
effective_cache_size = 6291456  # 6Gb


6GB seems OK to me


#random_page_cost = 4 # units are one sequential page fetch cost
random_page_cost = 2



only reduce random_page_cost if you have fast disks (SAS, ...)

Now, as to what I'm 'seeing'.  Building restore trees are on par with my 
previous mysql db, but what I'm seeing as significantly worse are:


mysql   postgresql
Within Bat:
1) Version Browser (large sample job)3min 9min  
2) Restore Tree (average sample job)40sec25sec
3) Restore Tree (large sample job)  10min   8.5min
2) Jobs Run (1000 Records)  10sec 2min

Within psql/mysql:
1) select count(*) from File;1sec30min

Catalog dump:
1) mysqldump/pgdump  2hrs 3hrs


I get a win on building Restore trees, but everywhere else, it's 
painfully slow.  It makes the bat utility virtually unusable as an 
interface.  Why the win (albeit moderate) in some cases but terrible 
responses in others?


I admit that I am not familiar with postgres at all, but I tried to walk 
through some of the postgres tuning documents, including the notes in 
the bacula manual to arrive at the above settings.  Also note that I've 
tried several variants on the configuration above (including the 
postgres defaults), don't have a detailed play by play of the results, 
but the time results above seemed typical regardless of what settings I 
tweaked.


Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Stephen
