[Bacula-users] backup on dvd-like base
Hi all, I'm not sure if this is possible: I'd like to instrument bacula to perform backup over a disk storage but preparing a kind of dvd iso and splitting the backup over a set of such iso as needed. A kind of pooling of dvd backups that I'll archive on phisical dvds let's say one at month (remaking then a full backup). Is this possible? Has anybody a sample or some tips for the configuration of this? Thanks, Luca - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Bacula-users] doubt on autolabeling
Hi all,
I cannot understan very well how labeling works. I've got, in my
bacula-dir.conf file the following jobs:
Job {
Name = mammuth_uff_a_job
Enabled = yes
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = mammuth-fd
FileSet = uff_a_fileset
Storage = mammuth_storage
Messages = Daemon
Pool = Default
}
Job {
Name = mammuth_uff_b_job
Enabled = yes
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = mammuth-fd
FileSet = uff_b_fileset
Storage = mammuth_storage
Messages = Daemon
Pool = Default
}
Pool {
Name = Default
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 365 days
Accept Any Volume = yes
Label Format = "${Job}-${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}"
}
Now if I run the first job (mammuth_uff_a_job) the volume with the label
mammuth_uff_a_job_2007_ is created, but if I run the second job, that I'd
like to be on a different volume, the system keeps using the previous volume.
What is wrong with my configuration? I'd like to keep each job on a different
volume, is this possible?
Thanks,
Luca

[Bacula-users] Maximum Volume Size is for me?
Hi all, this is what I'd like to do: backup up regularly on volumes of type file that should not exceed 4GB of size (this is in the case I've to burn such files). I thought that Maximum Volume Size could help me, but it does not: 08-mag 17:41 backup-sd: User defined maximum volume capacity 4,000,000 exceeded on device "sede_samba_storage" (/backup/sede/samba). It hangs and the backup does not go. I'd like to have a way to archive my volumes as files, and sometimes to burn them on dvd (here the max limit) and to use them for restoration (mounting them).

[Bacula-users] a job with device that is blocked waiting for media?
Hi all,
I've got a couple of jobs that follows. The strange thing is that while the
job mammuth_uff_b_job runs correctly, the mammuth_uff_c_job does not and I
can see from the bacula console that
Device "mammuth_device" (/backup/mammuth) is not open or does not exist.
Device is BLOCKED waiting for media.
as it was waiting for being labeled, even if the pools have the autolabel
option. I cannot understand why, surely I'm doing something wrong but I
cannot see where. Any idea?
Thanks,
Luca

[Bacula-users] one pool for multiple jobs - labeling problem
Hi,
I've got the following pool definition:
Pool {
Name = sede_pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 10 days
Accept Any Volume = yes
Label Format = "${Job}-${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}"
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
}
and I used this pool for two different jobs. However, the name given to the
backup file is always the same, and the one of the first job defined in the
config file. In other words, it seems as the ${job} expansion is not done
depending on the second job. Is not possible to use the same pool for
different jobs? How to get each job rightly labeled?
Thanks,
Luca

[Bacula-users] problem labeling volumes
Hi all,
I'm still fighting with the auto-labeling problem. This is what I want: each
job should stay on a separate file with the name of the job and the time of
the backup.
This is my configuration:
(storage daemon)
Device {
Name = mammuth_device
Archive Device = /backup/mammuth
Device Type = File
Removable Media = No
Random Access = Yes
Media Type = mammuth_disk_storage
LabelMedia = yes
AutomaticMount = yes
}
the LabelMedia should force bacula to label a media automatically, isn't it?
Now the job definition:
Job {
Name = mammuth_uff_a_job
Enabled = yes
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = mammuth-fd
Enabled = yes
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = mammuth-fd
FileSet = uff_a_fileset
Storage = mammuth_storage
Messages = Daemon
Pool = mammuth_uff_a_pool
Schedule = Daily-Evening-Incremental
}
and the pool:
Pool {
Name = mammuth_uff_a_pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 365 days
Accept Any Volume = yes
Label Format = "${Job}-${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}"
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Use Volume Once = yes
}
However if I run the job from the console the device is locked waiting for
media and I can see it has no volume label. So how can I achieve my aim of
automatic labeling the volumes keeping them separated on each file?
Moverover, the Recycle = Yes option in the pool is dangerous for the above
aim?
Finally, consider the following schedule:
Schedule {
Name = "Daily-Evening-Incremental"
Run = Level = Incremental mon-fri at 13:00
Run = Level = Incremental mon-fri at 22:00
Run = Level = Full on 5 at 00:00
}
is it possible to assign a different volume label to the full backup, tus to
easily recognize it?
Thanks,
Luca

Re: [Bacula-users] problem labeling volumes
What is very strange is that if I run the backups from the console, that is
through the run option, the backups are labeled, while the same jobs using
the scheduler does not get the label. For instance today I ran the uff_a job
manually, then I waited for the scheduled one. The device was blocked waiting
for media, and in the messages I found:
16-lug 13:33 backup-dir: mammuth_uff_a_job.2007-07-16_13.00.01 Error:
sql_create.c:384 Volume "mammuth_uff_a_job-2007-07-16" already exists.
16-lug 13:33 backup-dir: mammuth_uff_a_job.2007-07-16_13.00.01 Error:
sql_create.c:384 Volume "mammuth_uff_a_job-2007-07-16" already exists.
16-lug 13:33 backup-sd: Job mammuth_uff_a_job.2007-07-16_13.00.01 waiting.
Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Since I've got a label format:
Label Format = "${Job}-${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}"
is it possible to avoid that two backups on the same day lock bacula? Maybe
appending the time or an autoincrement value?
Any clue?
Thanks,
Luca

[Bacula-users] no label for a volume
Hi all,
I've got several job definitions that are similar, but the following is not
working:
Job {
Name = sede_Vol2Samba_job
Enabled = no
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = sede-fd
FileSet = sede_Vol2Samba_fileset
Storage = sede-samba-sd
Messages = Daemon
Pool = sede_vol2_pool
Schedule = Night-Incremental
}
Pool {
Name = sede_vol2_pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 365 days
Accept Any Volume = yes
Label Format
= "${Job}-${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}--${Hour}-${Minute}"
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Use Volume Once = yes
}
in fact the job stay blocked waiting for media, and in particular there is no
label for the volume:
Running Jobs:
Writing: Full Backup job sede_Vol2Samba_job JobId=749 Volume=""
pool="sede_vol2_pool" device=""sede_Vol2Samba_storage"
(/backup/sede/vol2)"
Files=0 Bytes=0 Bytes/sec=0
FDReadSeqNo=6 in_msg=6 out_msg=4 fd=5
Other jobs with an identical pool get labeled right, why this is not?
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Luca

Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:

Yes I've got, the following is the device used in bacula-sd.conf:

Archive Device = /backup/sede/vol2
Device Type = File
Removable Media = No
Random Access = Yes

Hi all,
consider the following job:

Now if I run it manually the first time I get a full backup (right), then I
run again and I get a new full backup while it should be incremental...
In the messages I found:

26-lug 09:12 backup-dir: No prior or suitable Full backup found. Doing FULL

but according to the status a full backup exists:

What am I doing wrong here?

so it seems there are errors due to the name of some files, but the backup
seems ok (FD/SD termination are ok and it is listed ok in the terminated
jobs). Could it be that the problem? I ran the job manually and it shows me
only problems about the file names. I guess bacula is still backuping files
skipping those that cannot be inserted in the catalog, right?

No, in the pool I've got:
Volume Retention = 365 days
that should be right

MySQL provides a tool, called mysqldump, that can be used to dump the data of a database and to rebuild it. I guess this is what you are looking for, even if there are other strategies (PITR, ...).

[Bacula-users] restore: device is blocked waiting for media
Hi, I've got to restore a few files from a on-disk restore. I've run the restore procedure, marking the files, and then the systems status appears to be BLOCKED waiting for media (?) as it was unlabeled (?). Running Jobs: Reading: Full Restore job restore_mySelf JobId=1050 Volume="mammuth_uff_g_job-2007-08-30--23-47" pool="Default" device=""mammuth_device" (/backup/mammuth)" Files=0 Bytes=0 Bytes/sec=0 FDReadSeqNo=32 in_msg=31 out_msg=5 fd=6 Device "mammuth_device" (/backup/mammuth) is not open or does not exist. Device is BLOCKED waiting for media. and the file from which restore exists and seems right (with its size). What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Luca - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

In fact looking into the messages I found:
05-set 18:54 backup-sd: Please mount
Volume "mammuth_uff_g_job-2007-08-30--23-47" on Storage
Device "mammuth_device" (/backup/mammuth) for Job
restore_mySelf.2007-09-05_17.53.30
so I manually did a mount of the device and the restore process is now
running. Why it is not automatically mounting the device? The following is
the definition of my restore job:
Job {
Name = restore_mySelf
Enabled = no
Type = Restore
Client = mySelf
FileSet = config_fileset
Storage = backup-sd
Messages = Daemon
Pool = Default
Where = /backup/restore
}
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Luca

No, here it is:
Device {
Name = mammuth_device
Archive Device = /backup/mammuth
Device Type = File
Removable Media = No
Random Access = Yes
Media Type = mammuth_disk_storage
LabelMedia = yes
AutomaticMount = yes
}
any idea?

This is true! I mean, I've got several storages with the same media type, is this not correct? Or it will lead me only problems like the mounting when restoring?

[Bacula-users] a job is always blocking others
Hi,
I've got a job that is always blocking other jobs from being executed. The
messages reports that:
26-set 16:58 backup-sd: Job sede_Vol2Samba_QUALITA_job.2007-09-26_16.58.11
waiting to reserve a device.
and the definition of the job is:
Job {
Name = sede_Vol2Samba_QUALITA_job
Enabled = yes
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = sede-fd
FileSet = sede_Vol2Samba_QUALITA_fileset
Storage = sede-samba-sd
Messages = Daemon
Pool = sede_Vol2Samba_QUALITA_pool
Schedule = Night-Incremental
}
with the following pool:
Pool {
Name = sede_Vol2Samba_QUALITA_pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 365 days
Accept Any Volume = yes
Label Format
= "${Job}-${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}--${Hour}-${Minute}"
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Use Volume Once = yes
}
and if I try to do, from the console, a status for the storage, the console
blocks listing the jobs that are waiting to reserve a pool. Anyone can
provide me some hints on how to solve the problem?
Thanks,
Luca

[Bacula-users] Device not in SD device resources....why?
Hi,
I'm a newbie of Bacula and I cannot get my first job running. I'm trying to
backup the config of the machine that runs the fd,sd and director. In my
bacula.sd.conf I've got:
Device {
Name = Config_Storage
Archive Device = /backup/configurazioni
Device Type = File
Removable Media = No
Random Access = Yes
Media Type = backup_server
}
and in my bacula-dir.conf I've got:
Storage {
Name = backup-sd
Address = 192.168.1.4
SDPort = 9103
Password = "_BacUlA_dIrEcToR_"
Device = Config_Storage
Media Type = backup_storage
}
Job {
Name = mySelf_Job
Enabled = yes
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = mySelf
FileSet = Config_FileSet
Storage = backup-sd
Messages = Daemon
Pool = Default
}
Now, in my bconsole I see the first problem (I guess):
*status storage
Device status:
Device "Config_Storage" (/backup/configurazioni) is not open or does not
exist.
and when I run the job I got the following error in the logs:
03-apr 10:22 backup-sd: mySelf_Job.2007-04-03_10.22.04 Fatal error:
Device "Config_Storage" with MediaType "backup_storage" requested by DIR
not found in SD Device resources.
03-apr 10:22 backup-dir: mySelf_Job.2007-04-03_10.22.04 Fatal error:
Storage daemon didn't accept Device "Config_Storage" because:
3924 Device "Config_Storage" not in SD Device resources.
03-apr 10:22 backup-dir: mySelf_Job.2007-04-03_10.22.04 Error: Bacula 1.38.11
(28Jun06): 03-apr-2007 10:22:06
Why it does not run the job? Can anyone please help me to configure this
simple backup job??
Thanks,
Luca

[Bacula-users] help doing backup of serveral host
Hi all, apologize my trivial questions, but I'm new to bacula. I've got a centalized machine that runs the director and the storage daemon and that should backup several machine with their own file daemon. I'd like to backup each host on a volume that is a file on the backupper machine disk, on a separate directory for each host, something like: /backup/host1/volume1 /backup/host2/volume1 /backup/host2/volume2 /backup/host2/volume3 . The problem, or better my doubt is about how to configure to get the above behaviour. In my opinion I should have a different Device section in my baculs-sd.conf file for each host (and thus path) I'd like to backup, right? The problem is that, running the jobs from the console, bacula continues to work with the previously selected volume. Thus for example, once I'm in the console, if I label the volume1 (for host1) and run the job, even the job for the host 2 continues using the same volume. What I'm not getting here? Can anyone helping me understand please? Thanks, Luca - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Bacula-users] wrong auto-labeling ?
Hi all,
in my bacula-dir.conf I've got a pool as follows:
Pool {
Name = Default
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 365 days
Accept Any Volume = yes
Label Format = "${Job}-${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}"
}
and I've got several jobs, for example:
Job {
Name = prod_dataflex_job
Enabled = yes
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = prod-fd
FileSet = prod_FlxFrm_fileset
Storage = prod-sd
Messages = Daemon
Pool = Default
}
but when I start the job in the console I got the volume labeled as another
job:
*run
Using default Catalog name=MyCatalog DB=bacula
A job name must be specified.
The defined Job resources are:
1: backup_mySelf
2: restore_mySelf
3: prod_coge_job
4: prod_samba_job
5: prod_config_job
6: prod_dataflex_job
7: prod_log_job
Select Job resource (1-7): 6
Run Backup job
JobName: prod_dataflex_job

FDReadSeqNo=16,283 in_msg=11663 out_msg=5 fd=6
Why this running job has the volume prod_config_job while it should be
prod_dataflex_job?
What am I missing?
Thanks,
