Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula pruning too much?

The media retention periods have highest priority and can be pruned regardless of the what the file or job retention periods are. Also remember with media the settings in the bacula-dir.conf files only apply to new volumes so changing volume retention periods on a pool will not take effect on already labeled volumes. You must apply the new settings in a bacula console. Thanks John, the Volume Retention was indeed set to 3 months. Now I set it to 1 year and updated the pool as well as all volumes. Do you know of any way how to tell bacula that it keeps at least one full backup for a client regardless of the retention periods?

[Bacula-users] Bacula pruning too much?
Hi all,
Bacula 5.0.3.
I have a client for which I do not run a backup job on a scheduled
basis but only when I start it manually.
Today I wanted to restore a file from the last backup. But there is
no backup left in the catalog!
How can that happen?
I know that there are different retention periods. But according to
the docs there should *always* be a valid backup, right?
The docs say:
File Retention = time-period-specification
[...]
When this time period expires, and if AutoPrune is set to yes,
Bacula will prune (remove) File records that are older than
the specified File Retention period. The pruning will occur at
^
the end of a backup Job for the given Client.
Even if the last backup I had may be expired: Why would it have been
removed from the database then?
There has no job been run since then for that client. And if there
would have, then that last job must be in the database at least.
The last backup was:
12-Sep-2010 13:23:22 - bart-Data.2010-09-12_13.02.01_10 - Full (upgraded from
Incremental)
And: The retension periods for that client are configure to 12
months:
Client {
[...]
File Retention = 12 months
Job Retention = 12 months
AutoPrune = yes
}
Any hints?

[Bacula-users] ActionOnPurge=Truncate does not work automatically
Hi all, maybe I have just some problems understanding the ActionOnPurge feature. In one of my file pools (VestaFtp) I have set Action On Purge = Truncate I have updated existing volumes, so actiononpurge is set to 1 for all volumes in the pool. What is NOT working: * volumes are never truncated automatically by the storage daemon when it recycles a volume. Is it intended that recycled volumes will not be truncated before writing to them again? * volumes are never truncated if I manually purge them with bat for example The only thing that DOES WORK is: * When I enter the following command in bconsole manually: purge volume action=truncate storage=vesta-sd pool=VestaFtp That way the storage deamon will truncate every vol with status purged: [...] 3000 OK label. VolBytes=197 DVD=0 Volume=FtpVol-0085 Device=FtpFileStorage (/mnt/backup) The volume FtpVol-0085 has been truncated 3000 OK label. VolBytes=197 DVD=0 Volume=FtpVol-0030 Device=FtpFileStorage (/mnt/backup) The volume FtpVol-0030 has been truncated 3000 OK label. VolBytes=197 DVD=0 Volume=FtpVol-0004 Device=FtpFileStorage (/mnt/backup) The volume FtpVol-0004 has been truncated [...] What is the Action On Purge = Truncate config option actually good for if truncating of volumes only happens on a manual purge with explicit action=truncate?

Hi Jerry,
this is a known issue on F12 because they use the beta of openssl
1.0 which had some incompatible API-changes.
AFAIK there is work going on to fix this. Until a fix is released
you might want to disable SSL or use some 0.9.x version of

OpenSSL

[Bacula-users] How to make setip console command work?
Hi all,
does anybody have an idea of what I must do to be able to use the
setip command from within a client's console?
I can access the director through a console on the client:
# On Director (bacula-dir.conf):
Director {
Name = lisa-dir
[...]
Password = password1
}
# On the client (bconsole.conf):
Director {
Name = lisa-dir
[...]
Password = password1
}
from the client:
Connecting to Director lisa:9101
1000 OK: lisa-dir Version: 5.0.0 (26 January 2010)
Enter a period to cancel a command.
[ all kinds of commands working, but: ]
*setip
Unauthorized command from this console.
*
What console rsources must I set up and how?
I already tried this in bacula-dir.conf:
Console {
Name = bart-fd
Password = password2
CommandACL = SetIP # I also tried 'setip' (lowercase)
}
and with this in bconsole.conf on the client:
Console {
Director = lisa-dir
Name = bart-fd
Password = password2
}
Now, I cannot do anything on the director from the client:
client:# bconsole
Connecting to Director lisa:9101
1000 OK: lisa-dir Version: 5.0.0 (26 January 2010)
Enter a period to cancel a command.
*setip
Unauthorized command from this console.
*status
status: is an invalid command.
*help
help: is an invalid command.
*
So it seems to use the new configuration where only setip should work, not?
TIA

Re: [Bacula-users] disk full, need to reset and upgrade
Hi Thomas,
there is an exclude feature in previous bacula versions as well. And
if you are talking about the new Exclude Dir Containing feature:
You can achieve the same behavior in 2.x versions of bacula with an
Exclude setting like this:
FileSet {
Name = MyFileSet
Include {
Options {
...
}
File = ...
}
Exclude {
File = \\|sh -c 'for D in / /var /home; do find $D -xdev -name
.BACULA_NO_BACKUP -type f -printf \%h\\n\; done | tee
/root/bacula_excluded_dirs.log'
}
}
You have to put the relevant filesystems into the list of the for-loop. In this
case all dirs containing a file .BACULA_NO_BACKUP within
the /, /var or /home filesystem will not be backed up. And you will find a list
of directories that have been excluded this way in
/root/bacula_excluded_dirs.log
I am using this mechanism since years and it works very well.

- upgrade to v3 and backup only what is needed (with the exclude feature)
- delete all existing backup in /backup (150GB)
- start backing up on /mnt/backup
my filesystem is almost full (96%) ...
Thanks for any help ;)

* Kern Sibbald schrieb am 15.12.08 um 21:52 Uhr: Hello, Hi Kern, I've been discussing with Eric how we might handle Copy jobs in our development version. [...] A few things seem obvious: 1. Any restore where Bacula automatically selects the jobs to be restored (e.g. a restore to the current state -- #5 on the restore prompt menu) should be done by default using the original backups. 2. If a job has been copied, Bacula should probably display an information message during the restore that indicates that the JobIds to be used have Copies. 3. The restore command should allow the user to select any Copy job or jobs. 1..3 ACK! I am proposing to change the current way that Copy jobs are handled. [...] I propose that we modify the Jobs to look like the following: +---+--+-+--+---+--+---+---+ | JobId | Name | StartTime | Type | Level | JobFiles | +---+--+-+--+---+--+---+---+ | 1 | CopyJobSave | 2008-12-15 20:38:28 | B| F | 7020 | | 5 | CopyJobSave | 2008-12-15 20:38:28 | C| F | 7020 | | 2 | CopyJobSave | 2008-12-15 20:38:32 | B| I | 999 | | 6 | CopyJobSave | 2008-12-15 20:38:32 | C| I | 999 | | 3 | copy-job | 2008-12-15 20:41:05 | c| F | 0| | 4 | copy-job | 2008-12-15 20:41:50 | c| F | 0| | 8 | RestoreFiles | 2008-12-15 20:42:39 | R| F | 7020 | +---+--+-+--+---+--+---+---+ Now here, JobIds 5 and 6 no longer appear to Bacula like they are Backup jobs, rather they are marked as Type=C (i.e. a Copy job), and so they will never be considered for restoration by default. This is just what I thought before reading your proposal to this: So ACK! I've give the Copy control jobs the Type 'c' to distinguish them from the real copy -- they exist just to record the actual time the copy was made. Some thoughts on this: * How can you be 100% sure that 5 is a copy of 1? On a really fast machine two Origian jobs might be created within the same second... not? * How can the copy-job (c) be associated to the real Copy (C)? Especially if there are two or more copies of the original. * Will a Copy of a Copy be possible? How will this be done then? * There should always be a real association between the Origianl and a Copy that will always make it clear which job is a copy of what job. This might be done only by connecting the JobIds somehow, right? * How about adding a new Table that is used to store these associations? That way it will be possible in the future to have more complex dependencies between jobs like * Copies of Copies * More than one Copy of an Original * VirtualFullBackups (sorry i do not know the current state of these) might work this way... Table JobAssociations +---+--+-+ | JobId | AssocJobId | AssocTime | +---+--+-+ | 5 | 1| 2008-12-15 20:41:05 | | 6 | 2| 2008-12-15 20:41:50 | +---+--+-+ This will tell us clearly that Job 5 is a Copy of Job 1 and Job 6 is a Copy of Job 2 given the Facts that Job 5 and 6 are of Type C. This might sound a bit too much for what should be done right know, but OTOH it might make future features easier to implement if different jobs can have a direct association to each other. Now by modifying the restore code in Bacula, we should be able to provide features that allow the user to know that there is a Copy of JobId 1 (i.e. 5) and a copy of JobId 2 (i.e. 6) and allow him/her to choose which copy to use. It just tells that there actually *is* a copy. But how do you determine which copy is choosen if you have more than one copy and want to know which copy has been made at which time?

Drop the feature?
Change the feature?
Putting it outside the Include option and making it truely apply to the whole

If it involves programming, please realize that this is contributed code,
and
so any changes would have to be agreed on by some sort of consensus, and
then
done by someone other than the developers or perhaps by the author.
I think the fileset syntax needs a complete overhaul.
I thought about this some time now. Conclusion: The current
FileSet{} Syntax is good, but IMO with some changes/improvements
it would be much more logical and easier to understand.
So I did a bit of a Mockup what I think how the FileSet would be
better structured maintaining the same flexibility:
Some definitions (many apply to the current syntax):
* There are two possible sections in FileSet: Include and Exclude
There can be one or more Include and zero or one Exclude
statements.
* NEW: FileWild and FileRegex, not only File can be used to select
files in Include and Exclude
* All files matching one of the File* statements will be included into or
excluded from the backup accordingly.
* Any File/FileRegex/FileWild statements can begin with a ! to
negate it.
* What will be backed up or not can never be controled from within
an Options section.
* Options sections will always only set/change parameters of
files to selected for that particular include statement.
# Example fileset with comments:
---
FileSet {
Name = MyFileSet
Ignore FileSet Changes = yes|no # no change
Enable VSS = yes|no # no change
Include {# include /dev/sdf raw with sparse option
Options { # this option matches all File* statements
Sparse = YES # within this Include statement
}
File = /dev/sdf
}
# include some dirs, SHA1 for every file,
# compress all files not matching .*\.(gz|bz2|tgz|tbz2)
Include {
Options {# this option matches all File* statements
Signature = SHA1 # within this Include statement
}
# compress all files in this include section
# _not_ matching .*\.(gz|bz2|tgz|tbz2)
Options {
WildRegex = !.*\.(gz|bz2|tgz|tbz2)
Compression = GZIP
}
File = / # begin at root, stay in FS
File = /usr # additional FS mounted on /usr
FileWild = /lib* # include /lib, /lib32, /lib64, ...
FileWild = /usr/lib* # include /usr/lib, /usr/lib64, ...
FileRegex = /home/[a-f]* # include all home dirs beginning
# with one of a,b,c,d,e,f
}
# exclude some of the previous selected files that we do not want
# to backup:
# everything in /tmp and every cache dir in user home dirs
# this applies to any files that matched previously because this
# section is at the end and thus processesd when!
Exclude {
File = /tmp
FileRegex = /home/*/[Cc]ache
}
}

There are two things about these directives that make them different from others: 1) The current implementation is within the Options clause, so the config can potentially have more than one per fileset. Is that desirable or does it just over-complicate the issue? Look a bit closer. Its not within the Options section. Currently its in the Include section. 2) The directories are excluded *after* being included in the backup according to the Options matching. In all other cases, an exclude cannot override a matching include. I may be less confusing to put the new directive at the top level of the fileset directive, outside any of the Include or Exclude clauses. I voted for putting it into the Exclude section because this directive is about *excluding* directories from the backup. So if someone uses this directive it has the same effect then the file = /foo in the Exclude section. -Marc -- BUGS My programs never have bugs. They just develop random features.

Re: [Bacula-users] Improving job scheduling flexibility
* Kern Sibbald schrieb am 23.02.08 um 12:40 Uhr:
Hello,
Hi Kern,
As you know, current job scheduling has a few deficiencies, particular if for
some reason your backups get blocked (a bad tape driver or operator
intervention required), which can lead to a big pile of duplicate jobs being
scheduled.
We have previously discussed ways of fixing this, with some really good ideas.
I am now ready to take a stab at implementing it, and would like to present
the current design and let some of you help in the design process. I am
currently pretty busy with my own project and helping with two major projects
that are making very nice progress, so I would appreciate some input.
My current idea is to create a new DuplicateJobs resource and a new
Duplicate Jobs directive which would point to the duplicate jobs resource.
The reason for the resource is that there are just too many different
variations that it would require a lot of new directives, and it seems a
shame to add them to every Job.
How about creating a sub-resource in Job that could be put into
JobDefs then too?
Or maybe better a sub-resource of the Schedule resource? (As this is
about scheduling...)
Creating a new major resource seems to make it too complicated for what it
provides IMO. - Keep it simple.
My current design calls for a Duplicate Jobs resource that looks something
like the following:
DuplicateJobs {
Name = xxx
Allow = yes|no (no = default)
AllowHigherLevel = yes|no(no)
AllowLowerLevel = yes|no (no)
AllowSameLevel = yes|no
Maybe Allow* could be simplified as
AllowLevel = equal|higher|lower or just =||
where one or more of the keywords may be specified.
Cancel = Running | New(no)
Maybe better CancelJob or JobToCancel
CancelledStatus = Fail | Skip (fail)
CancelledJobStatus ?
Job Proximity = time-interval (0)
Maybe better:
Allow Job Overlap = time-interval
or
Minimum Duplicate Time = time-interval
The first Allow directive is probably not needed, but it does make it more
complete. If this directive is set to yes, all the other directives would be
ignored, which would be the same as today and with no Duplicate Jobs
directive in the Job resource.
The AllowXXX directives are to try to define what job will be allowed to
continue when there is one job running or waiting and a new one arrives.
For example AllowHigherLevel = yes, would mean to allow the higher level job
to continue.
The Cancel directive specifies which job to cancel (the new job or the job
already there. I think there is probably a logic conflict between this
directive and the AllowXXX directives, but I have not thought this through
carefully enough.
The CancelledStatus is an attempt to tell Bacula to either fail one of the
two
jobs or to Skip it, which means to kill it but without a lot of noise. Some
options I could think of here that are not yet clearly specified are:
Do not kill a running job in favor of a newly scheduled job.
Do not print any messages about cancelling a job (I don't particularly
like this idea).
Do not record any cancelled job in the catalog
...
Finally Job Proximity is to allow a bit of overlap. For example, if a job
has
been running 20 minutes or ran 20 minutes ago, you might want to not apply
the rules.
I think a job that ran (=finished?) 20 Minutes ago should never be
handled like a duplicate job. Because it is not. For this a Min Time Between
Jobs
directive would we better IMO (maybe in the Schedule Resource?)
As you can see, there is a lot of room for clarification of what should be
done, and also a need for a bit more functionality ... -- in other words a
bit more design is needed before beginning the implementation.
Comments?
As stated above I think it *might* make sense to create new
directoves for Jobs or Schedules instead of a whole new resource. For things
that you
do *not* want to put in every Job{} again and again there is
JobDefs{} then..
It could look like this:
Job/JobDef or Schedule {
Duplicate Jobs {
AllowLevel = equal|higher|lower or just =||
Cancel Job = Running | New
Cancelled Status = Fail | Skip
Minimum Duplicate Time = time-interval
}
}
Comments?

Re: [Bacula-users] php guru
Hi Kern,
first of all sorry for the TOFU ;-)
I'd suggest something like that:
Using mod_rewrite you can redirect a user at the first stage by the
language the browser sends.
Something like that in the VirtualHost config or the .htaccess file
should do the job:
IfModule mod_rewrite.c
RewriteEngine On
# german
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*\(.*de.*\).*
RewriteRule ^$ /de [L]
# french
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*\(.*fr.*\).*
RewriteRule ^$ /fr [L]
# default language: en
RewriteRule ^$ /en [L]
/IfModule
Cheers

Hello,
I'm having a small problem reorganizing the Bacula web site so that it is
more
language neutral and am hoping that someone can provide me a little help with
php or apache.
The current directory is:
/var/www/bacula
images
presentations
...
a-bunch-of-English-files
de
a-bunch-of-German-files
fr
a-bunch-of-French-files
and I would like to convert the above into:
/var/www/bacula
en
a-bunch-of-English-files
de
a-bunch-of-German-files
fr
a-bunch-of-French-files
where en, de, and fr are directories which hold the various files related to
the particular translation.
The DocumentRoot is /var/www/bacula, which I would like to keep unchanged so
that each language can easily reference the images and other directories.
When the user enters the site and clicks on the German or French flag, it
executes code such as a href='/de' and all is OK because Apache puts
descends into www.bacula.org/de. However, this requires the user to click
on a flag.
Now the problem I have is: How do I do that by default so that the user types:
www.bacula.org
but gets dropped into
www.bacula.org/en
as if he had initially clicked on the English flag?
I have created an index.php file in the main directory that is:
?php
http_redirect('http://www.bacula.org/en');
?
but either my php function call is incorrect (php v 5.1.6) or the function
just is not doing what I wanted it to.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Kern

[Bacula-users] Problem with Automatic Mount = yes
Hi all,
I am using bacula 2.2.4.
I have a SD that stores backups to a disk that will be mounted at
backup time (FTP storage mounted with curlftpfs).
In previous versions of bacula there was no way to make the SD
unmount that disk after finishing a job.
This has been fixed in the current release and works great now.
But now another problem has risen instead:
If a disk volume is full (if Maximum Volume Bytes is reached) it
asks for the next volume to be mounted instead of doing it
automatically like before:
30-Sep 13:41 vesta-sd: Please mount Volume FtpVol-0033 or label a new one for:
Job: vesta-ImportantData.2007-09-30_03.05.02
Storage: FtpFileStorage (/mnt/backup)
Pool: VestaFtp
Media type: File
This did not happen with previous versions.
What is a bit strange: After waiting several hours and sending
several mails with the message above it *will* do the mount
automatically and finish the backup successfully.
Any hints someone what could be the cause for this?
This is the Device config in bacula-sd.conf:
Device {
Name = FtpFileStorage
Device Type = File
Media Type = File
Requires Mount = Yes
Mount Point = /mnt/backup
Mount Command = /usr/bin/curlftpfs -o allow_root **:[EMAIL PROTECTED] %m
Unmount Command = /usr/bin/fusermount -u %m
Archive Device = /mnt/backup
LabelMedia = yes # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes
Automatic Mount = yes # mount new volumes automatically
RemovableMedia = yes
}
This is the pool config in bacula-dir.conf:
Pool {
Name = VestaFtp
Storage = vesta-sd
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 6 months
Label Format = FtpVol-
Maximum Volume Bytes = 1073639424
Maximum Volumes = 50
}

I believe its the RemovableMedia = no that does the trick.

Hi,
Marc Schiffbauer wrote:
Finally got around to messing around with bacula again...
The manual says that nnn being the same number for both settings
means fixed blocksize.
As I understand it, your solutions should be to just set the
Minimum Block Size so you get a good perfromance.
Minimum Block Size = 1048576
Unfortunately just setting a Minimum Block Size does not work. btape for
instance will not work then. It dies with a glibc error. (See end of
mail for full trace.
For instance with the following setting:
Minimum Block Size = 256000
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/bacula# btape -c bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0
snip
test
snip
*** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption: 0x080d9d90 ***
Setting both a Minimum Block Size and Maximum Block Size to the same
value *does* seems to work with btape.
BTW, I tried using 1048576. Unfortunately this does not work. From
src/stored/dev.c:
if (dev-max_block_size 100) {
Jmsg3(jcr, M_ERROR, 0, _(Block size %u on device %s is too
large, using default %u\n),
dev-max_block_size, dev-print_name(), DEFAULT_BLOCK_SIZE);
Oops.
Why can I not use 100 bytes? This seems a *really* strange
restriction. I can happily use blocks of several megabytes using tar.
Indeed.
I discuss that on the devel list and/or maybe open a
bugreport in the bacula BTS.
And btape crashing is a bug as well...

My personal recommendation would be to release a patch to all versions back to at 1.38.x if the bug can be verified. I know that not too many people are running that version anymore, but if this bug is serious enough that the software will not work, I would personally be worried that someone will use one of these versions (the latest available of the minor release, eg. the latest 1.38.x) and not know that this is a problem. Yes, notifying users is a problem. If they are not subscribed to either the bugs database or the announce list, they are out of luck :-( I'm considering adding a feature that the user could enable that would automatically notify him of critical problems, but that won't help in this case. The website would be another place. I also applaud the decision to remove the affected versions for the time being. I guess the final risk here now is installing many current distributions will get you an affected version. Yes, unfortunately. Hopefully the downstream packagers are plugged into the project.

Re: [Bacula-users] Maximum concurrent jobs

I had the following configuration:
Director
Max Concurrent Jobs = 1
Job1
Client = Client1
Storage = Storage1
Job2
Client = Client2
Storage = Storage2
Then it occurred to me that it would be perfectly reasonable to run 2
jobs at the same time if they were both using completely different
Client and Storage resources, so I set Max Concurrent Jobs = 2 in the
Director and issued a 'reload'. But Job1 and Job2 don't seem to run
concurrently. If I start Job1 and then Job2, Job2 sits at waiting
execution.
I have the same problem.
One director, but two jobs that use completely different FD and SD
do not run parallel, (Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10 in
bacula-dir.conf's Director{} stanza)
I tried several things but I would assume that concurrency for those
kind of jobs should *always* run in parallel or at least if the
central Maximum Concurrent Jobs in bacula-dir.conf is 1
Which behavior is expected?

[Bacula-users] Concurrency not working properly?
Hi all,
my director (2.0.3) does not run two independent jobs
simultaneously.
I have set Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10 in the Director{}
ressource, but this seems to have no effect.
The strange thing is that I only try to run two different jobs which
write to two different storages at the same time, which should be no
problem at all.
My setup is like that:
+--+ +--+
| Client-1 | | Client-2 |
+--+ +--+
| |
Job1Job2
| |
v v
+--+
| Director |
+--+
| |
Job1Job2
| |
v v
+---+ +-+
| TapeDrive | | DiskStorage |
+---+ +-+
The two jobs use the same Schedule{}
At 3:05 Job1 starts but Job2 only starts as soon as Job1 has
finished. So if Job1 is waiting for a new Tape all night long, Job2
is still waiting for execution in the morning...
What could be wrong with my setup?
Here is the relevant parts of the bacula-dir.conf file:
Schedule {
Name = WeeklyCycle
Run = Level=Full SpoolData=no 1st sun at 03:05
Run = Level=Differential SpoolData=yes 2nd-5th sun at 03:05

In spite of my extensive online research about Bacula 2.0.3, the following open questions remain: - is the NDMP protocol supported? no. - are LAN-free and/or Serverless backups possible? (yes AFAICT, if all 3 deamons run on the same machine) - does Bacula support centralized management and is it possible to use storge devices attached to another server than the one with Bacula installed? Yes and yes. You can run the Storage Daemon on a foreign machine which will then accept data over the wire to store it on the backup media. - can the bandwidth be limited, that is used by the backup process? (no) - is it possible to use the built-in snapshot functionality of hard or software for automated backups? AFAIK: bacula has no built-in snapshot functionality but you can combine it with system snapshot capabilities (VSS onw indows, LVM snapshots on unix systems) - does your software supports the creation of user groups with specific privileges? (maybe with console ACLs) - are multiple data streams to the backup medium supported (multiflow, multiplexing)? yes - are Virtual Tape Libraries supported? yes - is there a disaster recovery function for the Bacula server for other operation systems than Linux available? (its based on linux, but you can restore any system (AFAIKT)) - are there modules to back up specific applications like databases without shutting them down? - is it possible to clone backup media? - is disk-to-disk-to-tape supported?

[...] So on a second run, although the SD has been released and unounted the SD does not try to mount the disk again until it is restarted. I think you're confusing mount in the operating system with mount inside Bacula; one has very little effect on the other. IMO, you need to do the process in reverse when starting a backup up again. I know that bacula uses mount an unmount terminology internally and that his is something different than mounting a filesystem. Nevertheless bacula supports storage on filesystems and so, might use the words mount and unmount for what it means in the system environment as well. And when I read the docs it seems to confirm my assumption: Requires Mount = Yes|No When this directive is enabled, the Storage daemon will submit a Mount Command before attempting to open the device. You must set this directive to yes for DVD-writers and removable file systems such as USB devices that are not automatically mounted by the operating system when plugged in or opened by Bacula. [...] Mount Point = directory ... Mount Command = name-string This directive specifies the command that must be executed to mount devices such as DVDs and many USB devices. [...] Unmount Command = name-string This directive specifies the command that must be executed to unmount devices such as DVDs and many USB devices. And the examples use /bin/mount and so on so this *might* really have to do something with what I want to do, right? ;-) You might want to see the Removable Disk HOWTO. I don't know where it lives at present, but it's been linked from the list. That is really interesting, but not what I need in my case here.

[Bacula-users] Howto make bacula unmount a disk after backup?
Hi all,
one of my SD's stores backups to a disk.
This disk is an FTP Storage mounted via fuse (curlftpfs).
Making bacula mount the disk when opening the device works fine.
(using Requires Mount / Mount Command)
Doing backups and restores works fine too.
But: Is there any way to make bacula unmount it again after
finishing the backup?
I thought Unmount Command would do the trick, but this seems to be
a NOOP option because it is *never* used for disk backups AFAICT.
Also AutomaticMount seems to have no effect at all. Does anybody know
what this option is good for? It appears in examples, but is
otherwise not documented anywhere.
I ran the SD with -f -d300 and could not find the SD trying to use the
unmount command, neither after backup nor with a manual unmount
from within bconsole.
Any hints someone?
this is my SD's device resource:
Device {
Name = FtpFileStorage
Device Type = File
Media Type = File
Requires Mount = Yes
Mount Point = /mnt/backup
Mount Command = /usr/bin/curlftpfs user:password@host %m
Unmount Command = /usr/bin/fusermount -u %m
Archive Device = /mnt/backup
LabelMedia = yes
Random Access = Yes
AutomaticMount = no # I also tried yes here...
RemovableMedia = no # I also tried yes here...
AlwaysOpen = no
}

How about runAfter? Just have a script do it.
Hi Christopher,
thanks for your answer.
Although I'd consider something like that a bad hack I already
tried this with a Script configured like that:
RunScript {
Runs When = After
Command = /usr/local/sbin/bacula-run_after_job.sh
}
but without luck: The unmount command failed with Resource busy.
I wonder if there is a bug in bacula or if this is just not
implemented yet.

[Bacula-users] relabel command not working with Offline On Unmount = Yes set
Hi all,
I am trying a second approach to understand how relabeling a tape
using the relable command from the console is supposed to work.
* I have a single tape drive setup, no autochanger.
* I am using bacula 2.0.3
* labeling tapes works fine
* backups work fine
* restores work fine
But I do not manage it to relable a tape using the relabel command.
At this point I still believe it might be a bacula bug.
Maybe I am using an untested combination of settings in the Device
configuration of the SD?
It would be great if someone yould tell me what I am doing wrong
here:
My SD's Device Resource:
Device {
Name = DLT8000
Media Type = DLT-IV
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes
AlwaysOpen = yes
RemovableMedia = yes
RandomAccess = no
Offline On Unmount = Yes
Spool Directory = /home/bacula-spool
Maximum Spool Size = 10 g
Maximum Job Spool Size = 2 g
}
Now I am in the console. I just inserted a known Tape into the tape
drive called Tape_20. I purged this tape using the purge command.
*status sd
[...]
Device status:
Device DLT8000 (/dev/nst0) is not open.
[...]
*
The tape drive needs some time to load the tape... I wait for it to
finish this.
* tape is inserted
* that volume is pruned
* tape is *not* mounted
Now I should be able to use the relabel command, right?
I would expect that I send the relabled command, bacula woul read
the current label, then rewind, that write the new label.
Now what happens is that:
*relabel oldvolume=Tape_20 volume=Tape_Test
Automatically selected Storage: lisa-sd
Automatically selected Pool: Default
Connecting to Storage daemon lisa-sd at lisa:9103 ...
Sending relabel command from Tape_20 to Tape_Test ...
-- here the tape begins to do something.
The tape is being ejected!!
Then, after the drive has finished ejecting the tape:
3912 Failed to label Volume: ERR=dev.c:425 Unable to open device
DLT8000 (/dev/nst0): ERR=Input/output error
Label command failed for Volume Tape_Test.
Do not forget to mount the drive!!!
*
So why does bacula eject the tape here? Can somebody explain to why
this should not be a bug?
Could it be that bacula does an unmount here although the tape is
not mounted and this unmount command does the mt offline because
of the Offline On Unmount = Yes setting?
Ok I will set Offline On Unmount = No and try again to test this:
(restarting SD, inserting tape, waiting for tape to finish)
*relabel oldvolume=Tape_20 volume=Tape_Test
Automatically selected Storage: lisa-sd
Automatically selected Pool: Default
Connecting to Storage daemon lisa-sd at lisa:9103 ...
Sending relabel command from Tape_20 to Tape_Test ...
3000 OK label. VolBytes=64701 DVD=0 Volume=Tape_Test Device=DLT8000
(/dev/nst0)
Catalog record for Volume Tape_Test, Slot 0 successfully created.
Old volume Tape_20 deleted from catalog.
Requesting to mount DLT8000 ...
3001 Mounted Volume: Tape_Test
3001 Device DLT8000 (/dev/nst0) is already mounted with Volume Tape_Test
*
Voila!
But: I still would consider this a bug: It should be possible to
use the relabel command with a single tapedrive and the setting
Offline On Unmount = Yes, not?
Because I want bacula to eject the tape if it is requesting another
one...
Any comments? Or hints?
TIA

What about setting Spool Data = yes in your job definitions, then when

Michael,
thanks for your answer. That would be a good options if I always
wanted to enable data spooling for interactive backups.
What I was looking for is a way to enable or disable spooling based
on current LAN-speed, current expected data that would be backed up
etc.
I was just wondering if there was a way to specify
spooldata=yes|no like one could do in Schedule resource.
For the level this is already possible.
But I guess this is not important enough for a feature request or
somthing.
Again, thanks for aour answer!

[Bacula-users] bogus/confusing warning? : Filesystem change prohibited. Will not descend into ...
Hi all,
I have a backup which finished with the following warning:
---
bart-fd: Filesystem change prohibited. Will not descend into /home/mschiff
---
Filesystem change prohibited is correct as I use default values
here. But Will not descend into /home/mschiff is wrong because
both /home and /home/mschiff are in the fileset which are two
different filesystems. And a list files jobid=xy really shows me
files on /home/mschiff.
This is the FileSet:
-
FileSet {
Name = bart ImportantData FileSet
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
noatime = yes
aclsupport = yes
}
Options {
exclude = yes
regex = .*/[Cc]ache/.*
}
File = \\/etc/bacula/backup-include.txt
}
Exclude {
# exclude all dirs containing a file called .BACULA_NO_BACKUP
File = \\|sh -c 'for D in /home; do find $D -xdev -name .BACULA_NO_BACKUP
-type f -printf \%h\\n\; done | tee /root/bacula_excluded_dirs.log'
}
}
-
The clients /etc/bacula/backup-include.txt:
--
/etc
/opt
/root
/usr/local
/home
/home/mschiff
--
(with /, /home and /home/mschiff being different filesystems)
Any hints how I can get rid of the warning?
TIA

Indeed.
As it should be (or is?) possible to apply things like
compression only to files selected by a wild = or regx= option this is
a bit strange.
Kern can you clarify this? Are the following FileSets not correct?
Maybe this is only possible by creating more Include{} resources.
I dont know... maybe like this:
# 1. compress only *.txt and *.TXT files:
FileSet {
Name = OnlyCompressTxtFiles
Include {
Options {
compression = yes
regex = ^.*\.(txt|TXT)$
}
File = /home
}
}
# 2. compress all but gzip'ed files
FileSet {
Name = CompressAllButGzipFiles
Include {
Options {
compression = no
regex = ^.*\.(gz|tgz)$
}
Options {
compression = yes
}
File = /home
}
}

30-Mar 00:14 backup-dir: Begin pruning Files.
30-Mar 00:14 backup-dir: No Files found to prune.
30-Mar 00:14 backup-dir: End auto prune.
But the real problem is why the system is requiring a full backup even
though it says it's an incremental. As far as I can tell, every single
file was backed up on the incremental which tells me that something in
FC6 is modifying something that Bacula looks at. I should note that when
I was setting the configuration files up, I simply backed up /etc and
the full and incremental backups worked as expected.
Bacula makes a full backup after you modified a FileSet, may this be
the cause?
Or may it be that all your files have a modification time in the future?
In this situation, I manually ran the job after modifying the bacula-dir
file to make sure it would work. I then let the system do an automatic
backup last night and was suprized that over 30GB of data were backed
up. I'm gonna run out of disk space in a hurry at this rate :-)
Yes. have a deeper look at the files. And use
estimate job=jobname level=Incremental listing
in bconsole to test what would be done.

Not really about your Problem:
If I understand the docs correctly, your Options signature,

excluded files only, which makes no sense.
I think yout have to add seperate

before the current one.

About your Problem: Are you really sure that attributes of the files
or something like that have changed for example?

Anything that would avoid the use of an external program? Perhaps
some regex magic?

Re: [Bacula-users] disk volume issues: seek - too large volumes - truncate - fragmentation
* HM schrieb am 20.03.07 um 13:02 Uhr: Hello, folks! Sorry for this ugly $subject. I've been playing with bacula and noticed a strange behaviour. I have configured a Pool with disk volumes of size 100MB each. On one run I wrote three tapes. Then I've deleted the catalog and recreated it with the scripts shipped with bacula. On the next run bacula took the first tape, seeked to the end and started to write another 100MB appended to the volume resulting in volume of size 200MB. I think this is not a user-expectable behaviour of Maximum Volume Bytes, i.e. I think this is a bug, no? This sounds like a bug, indeed. But I cannot tell for sure. As I am not using disk volumens right now. I use Maximum Volume Bytes in order to fill up my partitions as much as possible. I've learned the folowing rule of thumb: If the partition is under heavy load you should take care that it doesn't fill up more than 70% (one opinion, there are others like 80%). However I'd like to use approx 100% and then I have a fragmentation, i.e. performance, issue. Don't you think it would be clever that bacula didn't truncate each recycled volume file and start with size 0, but instead leave the file allocated on disk as it is and just start over-writing from the beginning, just as bacula would do on tape volumes? That way the disk volumes would be allocated statically on disk and one could try to defragment it more or less appropiately once and afterwards there would be not fragmentation added by bacula, since it doesn't need to allocate disk blocks again and again? Good point! Maybe an option like Preallocate Disk Volumes = yes would be a good idea for that? -Marc -- * (morganj): 0 is false and 1 is true, correct? * * (alec_eso): 1, morganj * * (morganj): bastard.* - Take Surveys.

Bacula doesn't fragment anything. If there is any fragmentation it is because you have a strange OS that is not state of the art, or you have other tasks that are writing to the same disk. Kern, I did not understand this as blaming bacula for it. Filesystems do fragment if they are getting full. And there is no real way around this. XFS tries to avoid fragmentation of files by something that is called Delayed allocation but XFS nevertheless ships a defragmentation tool with its fs-utils. (I do not know such a tool for ext2/3 btw) I think what the original poster tried to say is: Bacula could help in filesystems not getting too fragmented over time by not freeing its space used, but instead just overwrite it. This would definitly make much sense in some (if not all) environments as it would keep filesystem performnace at a high level. And to be honest: This has nothing to do with a strange OS that is not state of the art or you would call todays linux to be such an OS. Please think about it a second time...
