Re: [Bacula-users] Windows client refuses to connect
Thanks, Kern, Davide and Wanderlei.
strangely enough the backup to the weekly pool seems to have run ok over the
weekend.
I’ll check if I can recover files from it and then see what happens to the
daily run tonight.
I’ll post back the results just for the sake of completeness.
And yes, I know we need to update the server, Kern. It’s been on the list for a
while, but as
everything worked smoothly so far… Guess I need to push it up a bit.
Thanks again,
Korbinian

[Bacula-users] Windows client refuses to connect
Hi everyone.
I’ve run into a strange problem recently.
We’ve had a bacula client running on a Windows 2008 Server machine without any
problems whatsoever for a few years. All of a sudden it has stopped working
telling me
that the authorization fails.
I did check the passwords back and forth, set them to simpler ones, checked if
the
file daemon was running, checked the network connectivity. I can ping both
machines vice/versa.
I can telnet via ports 9101 from client to director and via 9102 from director
to client. TLS is not
configured.
I’ve tried to get things working by restarting the service, restarting the
Windows machine itself,
restarting the director and storage daemon on the bacula server, restarting the
bacula server itself.
I’ve resorted to re-install the bacula client on the windows machine, but the
problem prevails.
I can’t connect using bconsole.exe nor bat.exe. The error message I get on the
client is:
Director authorization problem.
Most likely the passwords do not agree.
If you are using TLS, there may have been a certificate validation error during
the TLS handshake.
The error I get on the server is:
29-Apr 14:59 bacula-dir: ERROR in authenticate.c:418 Unable to authenticate
console "*UserAgent*" at client:192.168.xxx.xxx:36131.
My bconsole.conf file looks like this:
Director {
Name = bacula-dir
DIRport = 9101
address = bacula
Password = "test”
}
The corresponding bacula-dir.conf file like this:
Client {
Name = winserv2000-fd
Address = winserv2000
Catalog = MySQL
Password = "test"
File Retention = 60 days
Job Retention = 12 months
AutoPrune = yes
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
}
I’m using the 5.2.10 client and a 5.0.2 server.
I’m probably missing something, but I’m out of ideas right now.
Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Korbinian

[Bacula-users] Change a volume from 'Error' to 'Append'
Hi everyone. While I do have some basic knowledge of bacula (i.e. viewing logs, restoring files/folders, labeling volumes) I couldn’t really find conclusive documentation on how to resolve the following situation: We’re using bacula with a Tandberg tape library. One of the volumes (tapes) has a status of ‘Error’ when I do a ‘list volumes’ in bconsole. Looking at the logs at around the time of the ‘Last written to’ field, I can see that a - probably running job - got cancelled due to losing connection to the server. (Which coincides with a switch problem we had at that point, so that is probably what happened). The job had accessed two volumes but only one shows an ‘Error’ the other one is marked full. Querying the database I get 0 files and bytes written to either volume for the job. How do I go forward making the volume appendable again? (Assuming that the reason for the ‘Error' is the interrupted job?)

Re: [Bacula-users] Change a volume from 'Error' to 'Append'
Thanks Ben John for the quick answers! The volume in question was a 1.5/3 TB LTO 5 tape and though they don’t cost the world anymore, I’d have hated to let it go to waste. Anyway, querying the database showed that there was just the one single job that failed assigned to it, so deleting that job and marking it purged should hopefully have done the trick. It’s now residing in the scratch pool waiting to be used, so I’ll know as soon as one of the other pools are full… Thanks again! Korbinian Am 21.05.2014 um 14:46 schrieb John Drescher dresche...@gmail.com: I've observed similar issues in the past. A job fails part way through and the catalog is not updated leaving a mismatch in the number of files in the volume versus what's recorded in the catalog. This is then detected the next time the volume is used, and Bacula marks the volume as Error without writing anything to it. Given the mismatch, the safest thing to do is mark the volume as Full, and wait for the retention period to expire so the volume can be recycled. Unfortunately this wastes space (more painful when you have 100GB volumes and it failed within the first few gig...), so you'll need to either have sufficient spare space on your SD that you can cope with this, or be willing to sacrifice the other jobs on the volume and delete jobs+purge or purge it immediately to regain the space. I'm not sure how Bacula would behave if you change it straight to append; whether it would leave a hole in the volume, or whether this mismatch would corrupt subsequent jobs. The times I have done this there was no problem. For file based volumes I keep them small 5 to 10 GB and in this case it does not really waste space to mark the volume Full and or recycling the job with the error.
