[Bacula-users] Accurate Mode Fails after "Upgrade"
I moved from using the downloaded Community Bacula to the Ubuntu packaged version, both 13.0.4. The difference is the downloaded uses /opt/bacula/etc while the packaged conf files are in /etc/bacula. The mysql database was not changed. After the switch client Full's worked, but incrementals and differentials which use Accurate Mode failed because bacula-fd gets "Fatal error: Cannot find previous jobids." Without accurate mode they succeed. The conf files I'm using in /etc/bacula are just copies of the ones from /opt where I have adjusted the path references. I did not copy the files where /opt pointed, just adjusted the paths in the conf files. That presumably is my mistake. So now I'm a week in using the packaged Bacula, most with Accurate turned off so that the incremental succeed. I noticed from mysql that Bacula created new FileSetId's for FULL (one for catalog, one for client backups). So how do I recover from this? I'm not sure which files I should have copied. For working the opt version uses /opt/bacula/working, the packaged uses /var/lib/bacula. The ones in the former are bacula-sd.9103.state bacula-fd.9102.state bacula-dir.9101.state BackupCatalog.bsr orac-fd.bsr The state files are close to the switch, the bsr's a few days earlier. I'm not aware of other path changes, but could have missed something. Are there any other files I missed? I just assumed it was all in the mysql tables. I would like to go back to using Accurate, so how do I recover? I'd like to use the existing backups, old and new (the volumes are all files, no devices), but it wouldn't be a tragedy to lose the old (there was also a move from Ubuntu 23.10 to 24.04, so many older files are not relevant) Any help? ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
[Bacula-users] Fatal error: Cannot find previous jobids
I recently updated both the OS (Ubuntu 23.10 to 24.04), and switched from the community download of 13.0.4 to the Ubuntu 13.0.4 package that goes with 24.04 Backups of the Catalog and Full Client backups are working, but the incremental Client backups fail 05-Jun 23:05 orac-dir JobId 7830: Connected to Client "orac-fd" at orac:9102 wit h TLS 05-Jun 23:05 orac-fd JobId 7830: Connected to Storage at localhost:9103 with TLS 05-Jun 23:05 orac-dir JobId 7830: Fatal error: Cannot find previous jobids. 05-Jun 23:08 orac-dir JobId 7830: Fatal error: Network error with FD during Back up: ERR=Interrupted system call 05-Jun 23:09 orac-dir JobId 7830: Error: Director's connection to SD for this Jo b was lost.

[Bacula-users] Disk Volumes Showing 1B Read-Only
My Volumes are all Disk files. Several now show up as 1B Read-Only. In fact, as files "ls -l" shows them at their correct size, with modification dates that go back correctly to when they were filled. This is likely due to my transition from Ubuntu 23.10 to 24.04. There was a period during the transition where the file system containing these backup volumes was either not mounted or had ownerships set incorrectly. I'm guessing that bacula noticed that and marked those backup files 1B Read-Only. These files are the oldest of the backup files, the slightly more recent ones are fine. Is there any way to convince bacula that they are good? ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
[Bacula-users] Pool Configuration
I have my pool set as 15 50GB files, with a 20 day retention, autoprune, recycle. Typically the oldest one is about 30 days old, and several of the oldest show no jobs on volume. Are those oldest volumes doing me any good with no jobs, just waiting for their time to be recycled? Should I adjust the parameters to make them more valuable? ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

OK, try this. - DUMP the bacula schema using mysqldump or your database dump tool of choice. (Personally I prefer mydumper.) - Then DROP the bacula DB. - Then run apt-get install bacula-mysql. - You MIGHT need to drop the bacula schema *again* at this point. to be safe. - Then RESTORE the bacula schema from your dump. - Then run update_mysql_tables to update your v9 Bacula DB to v13. ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

Another followup. One thing I learned, I need to remove all the Ubuntu bundled bacula 9 packages before doing the apt-get install bacula-mysql for the Community 13 release, otherwise there are package conflicts. So after removing the old packages, apt-get install bacula-mysql tires to install the mysql bacula database.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula Community Installation Guide
Ben Thanks! I now have the access key. But going forward another obstacle.

[Bacula-users] Retention Period
I'm using files for Volumes, not tapes. Originally I was doing 90 day retention, but since then the amount of data to backup has increased, and I don't want to commit more file volumes (I have 13 *50G ). The backups stop when the files are full and the soonest expiration date hasn't been reached. I tried changed the setting in the director.conf for the client to File Retention = 30 days # 30 days Job Retention = 45 days AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files } I have rebooted the client (its all localhost) and the files still show 90 day expirations , all full and the jobs don't run. To get things running, I can manually purge the oldest, but when it starts writing to it, I still see the 90 days expiration date. I don't actually care about the limit. I have as many volumes as I want to commit, and just want it to purge what ever is necessary when they are all filled.

Well the backup I was counting on doesn't exist. I Duplicated the Ubuntu 16.04 filesystem in another slice before doing the OS upgrade, assuming I would have a copy of everything pre-update. It was a big surprise to find that the update updated both the live slice and the backup slice to 18.04. Furthermore looking at the mysql bacula database post install, it looks corrupted. See below.

This most likely means that Ubuntu 18.04 updated you to MySQL 5.7 or its
MariaDB equivalent (10.2.x).
Yes mysql 5.7.22
Find your MySQL/MariaDB configuration file[s] and look for the line that
sets SQL_MODE. (There may not be one, especially if you've never tuned
it.) Log into MySQL and run this query:
SELECT @@GLOBAL.sql_mode;
Take the result, REMOVE the terms NO_ZERO_DATE and NO_ZERO_IN_DATE, and
set what is left as your new SQL_MODE. For example:
SET GLOBAL sql_mode =
'STRICT_ALL_TABLES,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION';
(If in doubt, the above example is a good starting point.)
This worked in my case
SET GLOBAL sql_mode
='ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION'
Add a line to your MySQL configuration setting the same, so that it will
persist across restarts:
This should get you up and running. You probably want to restart Bacula
just to be safe.

[Bacula-users] restore a fiile tree to a specific date?
I accidentally deleted a large file tree that changes a lot. Fortunately there was a backup this morning.

[Bacula-users] Restore from offline disk files
A given job can backup to multiple disk files (volumes). When restoring a file, Bacula knows what volumes were used by the backup jobid. Does it also know which volumes are needed to restore a given file, or does it want all the volumes associated with the jobid and just seek through them looking for the file it is restoring? I guess I'm asking if all the volumes associated with the backup jobid have to be made accessible before the restore? It may not make much difference on an incremental, but if the file being restored is on a full that may be a lot. The issue is that retrieving the offline disk volumes is slow and and it would be nice to not retrieve unnecessary ones. -- What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?

I also don't think keeping the connection up during collection, compression, encryption is feasible. Transfer would be done at the end. The idea would be treating the storage pool like a virtual tape drive with a limited number of slots. Unmounting a volume means copy it out to the network. Mounting a volume means copying it back. Once a volume is unmounted its marked read/only. This would be for write once read rarely for anything unmounted. Fast for recent files, painful for older files.

[Bacula-users] Backups to Google Drive?
What is the current thinking of the most effective way to use Bacula doing storage to Google Drive? We have a fast network connection, with multi-terabyte Linux systems to regularly backup. I don't think any of the Linux fuse filesystems for Google Drive are really robust enough to depend on. If you agree, that just leaves writing to local storage and doing a command line transfer at the end, and the reverse for restores. Is there any support for managing the transfers (both backup and restore) without manual interaction? -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
[Bacula-users] Adding Encryption and Compression
I've been doing bacula backups to disk file volumes for some time, basically with defaults. I'm now thinking of doing cloud backup of the volume files, and it strikes me that I should enable encryption and compression on the bacula client.

[Bacula-users] Bacula and Glacier
The last time I asked about this there was skepticism about using Amazon Glacier for cloud storage of backups generated by Bacula. I still have some interest in this particularly for off site backups for disaster recovery at least for occasional snapshots. Has anyone actually had success using Glacier with Bacula? I have done some minimal tests using https://github.com/uskudnik/amazon-glacier-cmd-interface/blob/master/doc/Scripting.rst It's not very usable for daily backups as is. The backup volumes get appended to until they reach their maximum and would be sent repeatedly until they hit the max and a new volume is created. If I got around this by some how forcing a new volume each time it would result in small files being sent to Glacier, which is not desirable. I suppose I could decouple the Glacier send from the Bacula director and just send finished volumes when a cron sees that a new one has been created.

[Bacula-users] Reliable Backups without Tapes?
We currently backup our department network running Legato networker with backup to a raided disk array (advanced file device in their jargon) followed by cloning to a Qualstar/SAIT2 tape library. Our backup needs are increasing and we don't want to buy licenses for more file device space or more tape slots. We would like to go with Bacula and have no limits. In fact since SAIT has dead ended and its not clear to me if Bacula supports Qualstar, I wonder about an all disk solution. Under Legato the license restriction artificially keep the "file-device" small relative to the tape storage. However, these days disks are cheaper than tapes and license free we could afford a lot of disk space. However, the second feature of the tapes is that if the "file-device" fails (even raid fails), we can transparently go to tape. It also affords the option of off site copies of the tapes. Is there any strategy for Bacula that adds the reliability we would lose by abandoning the tapes. Perhaps a second redundant array combined with some removable drives for off sites? -- AppSumo Presents a FREE Video for the SourceForge Community by Eric Ries, the creator of the Lean Startup Methodology on "Lean Startup Secrets Revealed."
