Here is a similar working example from my backups:
FileSet {
Name = "gecko Files"
Ignore FileSet Changes = yes
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
wildDir = "/share/office/TmpShare/*/personal"
wildDir = "/share/homes/*/thunderbird/*/ImapMail"
wildDir = "/share/drawings/*dwgs/*/Received"
ignore case = yes #so the above will match Personal, etc
Exclude = yes
}
File = /etc
File = /root
File = /share
} # end Include
} # end FileSet
I wonder if it is a problem with Ignore Case? The documentation is inconsistent
about
the space between Ignore and Case.

[Bacula-users] Feature Request - directory permissions
I am not subscribed to the devel list, so if someone would forward this I would appreciate it. The website says to submit it to both the users and devel lists. Thanks. Item 1: Restore proper ownership and permissions to created directories Origin: Mark Nienberg Date: 26 January 2010 What: Currently the only way to get bacula to restore directory ownership and permissions is to select a directory (not a file) to be restored and to use Replace=Always. Using Replace=Never or selecting a file (not a directory) to restore results in incorrect ownership and permission on any directories that bacula has to create above the level of the restored object. Why:It is confusing to find the file system in a different state after a restore. Users generally expect the directories to match the backed-up state. Notes: The bug report http://bugs.bacula.org/view.php?id=1444 is not entirely correct. Additional testing shows that results are different when files are marked for restore as opposed to directories. The bug report indicated that the behavior was specific to Replace=Never, but in fact the same thing happens with Replace=Always when a file is restored. -- Mark Nienberg Sent from an invalid address.

[Bacula-users] problem restoring directory permissions
Recently one of my users accidentally deleted some files and directories from a
samba
file server. I restored the missing stuff from a bacula backup, but the user
could
not access the restored files. Some troubleshooting revealed that the files
were
restored correctly, but the directories containing the files were restored with
incorrect permissions.
In order to understand what happened I did some simple testing on the bacula
server
itself. Here is the simple fileset for the server.
FileSet {
Name = "khyber Files"
Include {
Options {
signature=MD5
compression=GZIP
}
File = /etc
File = /home
File = /root
} # end Include
}
I created some subdirectories with various permissions inside the /root folder
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4.1k Jan 8 17:17 testdir/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.1k Jan 8 17:12 testdir2/
drwxrws--- 2 root root 4.1k Jan 6 18:24 testdir3/
drwxr-xr-x 2 mark ftp 4.1k Jan 10 10:54 testdir4/
I added some test files inside the test folders. After a bacula backup was
performed,
I renamed the test directories by appending "-save" to them. Then I restored
from
the bacula backup and compared the restored directories to the originals.
drwxrw-rw- 2 root root 4.1k Jan 11 10:31 testdir/
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4.1k Jan 8 17:17 testdir-save/
drwxr--r-- 2 root root 4.1k Jan 11 10:31 testdir2/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.1k Jan 8 17:12 testdir2-save/
drwxrw 2 root root 4.1k Jan 11 10:31 testdir3/
drwxrws--- 2 root root 4.1k Jan 6 18:24 testdir3-save/
drwxr--r-- 2 mark ftp 4.1k Jan 11 10:31 testdir4/
drwxr-xr-x 2 mark ftp 4.1k Jan 10 10:54 testdir4-save/
The problem seems to always be related to the group and others "x" permission.
The
files inside the test directories were all restored correctly. The root umask
is
022, but that doesn't explain this. Note that bacula correctly restored the
owner and
group so it is obviously saving the information about the directories.
Can anyone shed any light on what may be wrong with my configuration? Or can
you
confirm that the same happens on your system?
Thanks,

In the section:
Device {
Name = "Ultrium 4-SCSI"
Look at the line:
Archive Device = /dev/sg0
It is likely that it should be something like:
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
If that isn't it, then enable logging for the mtx-changer script and see what
the log
file says about the failed load. You can test with "mount" and "release",
rather
than attempting to "label".

I notice that qt4 4.4.3 is also available for RHEL at ATrpms (testing), so maybe I'll try that rather than rebuilding the fedora package.

[Bacula-users] must autochanger error be Fatal?
From time to time my library messes up a tape change, but the mtx-changer script (modified by me) detects this and exits with return value of 1 to indicate failure. In this case, bacula kills the job with a Fatal Error. I would prefer that bacula ask for operator intervention to fix the tape load and then continue after I manually mount it.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bat 3.0.1 from src.rpm not working
Here is some more info. I made the initial rpms using "rpmbuild --rebuild" (plus some options) Now, I did "rpm -i bacula.src.rpm" and then "rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/bacula.spec" (plus some options) with this approach, the BUILD directory is not cleaned after the packages are build, so bat is able to locate the files it needs to do the "relink" and bat starts correctly. So now I'm wondering if this is a one-time-only requirement or if I must leave the BUILD directory in place in order to keep bat running in the future?

Although in his case, a second mount was successful. A second mount almost always works for me. But I have seen the second mount fail and then a third mount work. So if your problem is the same as mine, then the issue is not that the tape loses its label, it is that the drive doesn't successfully load the tape sometimes. I have modified the mtx-changer script so it loads a tape and then tries to read the label with btape. If it fails, then it unloads and reloads and tries again. If it fails again, then a third attempt is made before giving up. In theory, this reduces a 20% failure rate to .20 x .20 x .20 = .008 or 99.2% success. The 20% failure rate is a guess.

In bconsole: purge volume=A001 delete volume=A001 (you could probably skip the purge command, the delete should do the same thing.) stick in your new tape and then use the "label" command. If you use barcodes, then obviously the new barcode must match the old one and you would use "label slots=1 barcodes" if your new tape is in slot 1. In either case, the label command will ask you which pool to put the volume in and you should make it match the old tape.

I increased the timeout in the changer script. But in my experience it doesn't take nearly 5 minutes for this to happen. The correct tape was loaded into the drive by the changer. It seems like the bacula process that does the loading died for some reason (after requesting the load) and so it timed out.

"status storage" is the only way I know to get bacula's opinion of what tape is in what drive. My changer came with a utility program that can output the slot occupants and the tape drive status.

[Bacula-users] library auto clean
My new VXA packetloader tape library has an option to clean itself when needed if I keep a cleaning tape in the library and configure it to do so. Does anyone know if this feature plays well with bacula? I'm wondering what happens if it decides to clean itself in between tape loads or something.

I don't know that. But I would first get it working with something like
LabelFormat = "Test-"
After that works you will know your problem was related to labels and
you can then start messing with various labeling schemes.

[Bacula-users] RHEL/CentOS and mtx
I'm getting ready to upgrade my bacula server to better hardware and replace my single tape drive with an autoloader. I saw this comment in the documentation: "Note, we have feedback from some users that there are certain incompatibilities between the Linux kernel and mtx. For example between kernel 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 of CentOS and RedHat and version 1.3.10 and 1.3.11 of mtx. This was fixed by upgrading to a version 2.6.22 kernel." Does anyone know if this issue has been resolved in the recent RHEL5.1 release? I was planning on using RHEL/CentOS on the new server but I don't want to use non-stock kernels. If it is still a problem I could use a fedora distro instead. Thanks, Mark - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

[Bacula-users] bad LastWritten dates in catalog
In a pool of 4 volumes I discovered that two of them had what seem to be incorrect dates listed in the LastWritten field of the catalog. Needless to say, this messed up my tape rotation. One volume had the date 2007-10-18 when it was actually last used on 2007-09-29. The other was closer, off by only 3 days. Now I know this seems impossible and you are thinking that some sort of operator error has occurred. The only thing I can think of is that I may have restored from these tapes on those later dates, but of course that should not have affected the LastWritten date. I'll be keeping a close watch on them for a while, but I mention it here in case anyone has other ideas. This is bacula 2.2.5. P.S. I simply manually purged a tape to get back on the correct rotation. Thanks, Mark - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Sourceforge shows that your version 2.0.3 for fedora 5 had: 312 downloads for the client, 221 downloads for mysql, 130 downloads for postgre, and 140 downloads for sqlite for a total of 803 (combining i386 and x86_64).

I'm curious if a feature to prevent descending into a directory by having an

[Bacula-users] label a tape replacement
I recently had a problem that made me want to erase and relabel a bacula tape, keeping its same name so it would stay in the same spot in the tape rotation scheme. I recycled and purged the volume in the catalog, then deleted the volume, erased the tape using the tape drive tools, then used bconsole to label it again with the old name. Is there a way to label a tape that is already in the catalog? It looks to me like the relabel command is intended to write labels on tapes that already have bacula labels, which in my case it did not (I erased it). I can see this coming up also when I decide a tape is too old and should be replaced. I'll need to substitute a blank tape and label it with a name that already exists. Thanks, Mark - Take Surveys.

Just add the line: Ignore FileSet Changes = yes to your file set definition. Does this mean that the fileset changes are ignored completely until the next full backup? Or does it mean that the incremental backups use the new fileset definition without forcing a full backup? The documentation says this: Normally, if you modify the FileSet Include or Exclude lists, the next backup will be forced to a Full so that Bacula can guarantee that any additions or deletions are properly backed up. If this directive is set to yes, any changes you make to the FileSet Include or Exclude lists will be ignored and not cause Bacula to immediately perform a Full backup. The default is no, in which case, if you change the Include or Exclude, Bacula will force a Full backup to ensure that everything is properly backed up.

dates are in there, but how do I deal with the base64 bit?
A typical entry looks like this:
P0A HL4KO IHk B A A A BdD BAA Y BEU0tK BEHwQV BEHwQV A A C
I've got about half an answer for 'ya.
The database entry appears to be a series of base-64 encoded values
corresponding to the fields of a UNIX stat structure (plus a couple
extra bits), which 'man lstat' says is:
struct stat {
dev_t st_dev; /* ID of device containing file */
ino_t st_ino; /* inode number */
mode_tst_mode;/* protection */
nlink_t st_nlink; /* number of hard links */
uid_t st_uid; /* user ID of owner */
gid_t st_gid; /* group ID of owner */
dev_t st_rdev;/* device ID (if special file) */
off_t st_size;/* total size, in bytes */
blksize_t st_blksize; /* blocksize for filesystem I/O */
blkcnt_t st_blocks; /* number of blocks allocated */
time_tst_atime; /* time of last access */
time_tst_mtime; /* time of last modification */
time_tst_ctime; /* time of last status change */
};
Therefore, from your example, "P0A" is the base64-encoded value of
st_dev, "HL4KO" is the base64-encoded value of st_ino, etc.
So, if you're after the modification time (st_mtime) of your file, you
should theoretically just have to base64 decode the string "BEHwQV" to
get back a standard UNIX timestamp value (seconds since Jan 1, 1970).
Exactly how you go about doing a base64 decode is, of course, the other
half of the answer which I'm far too lazy to go into here, but Google
should be able to take you the rest of the way, and if you're a C
programmer, the bacula source code itself (in particular
src/lib/base64.c) should be helpful.
Thanks. That is an excellent half answer! Now I understand which
values I am trying to decode. I am just having trouble decoding them.
See my response to James Harper and thanks for your help.

Do you want to deal with it in the query (harder), or in the code that

My hope was to write a custom query to put in the query.sql file so I
could run it from bconsole, but if I have to I guess I could script
something independently to deal with the conversion.
Just in case you don't know already, the date fields in the text you
have given below are "BEU0tK BEHwQV BEHwQV", and you need to decode them
using Base64, where each letter represents 1 of 64 possible values (eg
our numbering system is Base10 and the digits are 0123456789, base64 is
the same but with all the numbers (10), all the lowercase letters (26),
all the uppercase letters (26), and another 2 characters ('+' and '/' I
think, but you'd need to check), giving you your 64 'digit'
combinations.
Thanks, I had the basic idea but that is a better explanation.
Once you have decoded these values you should have a number that
represents the number of seconds since midnight on Jan 1 1970 UTC.
The following URL is to a really cool page that allows you to convert
between all sorts of encoding methods:
http://www.paulschou.com/tools/xlate/
I've tried a number of online decoders (including the one you suggest)
and none of them returns anything that makes sense when I give it a
value like BEHwQV. As you say, I am expecting a big integer, but I get
back nonsense or an error message. That is what made me question
whether I was going about it completely wrong. At this point I am stuck
on the conversion.

You're looking at the config file wrong. In your defense, it is a
little odd.
Options are all added to that FileSet, but wild* options are treated
differently depending on whether Exclude is set to yes or no.
If Exclude is set to no, _only_ files listed in Wild* directives will
be included. If it's set to yes, only files that match are _excluded_.
So, the Exclude setting simply controls how Wild[file|dir] directives
are interpreted. And it's always set to _something_, the default is
no.
OK, I see what you mean. In that case, perhaps my last fileset
definition will work. I'll give it a try for my full backup next week.
I understand that I can't change a fileset definition without
triggering a full backup, so I usually wait and change it right before
the scheduled full. Thanks for the explanation.

[Bacula-users] excluding with wildcards
I'm trying to exclude some directories from a fileset with no luck.
First I tried this:
FileSet {
Name = "gecko Files"
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
}
File = /share
}
Exclude {
File = "/share/office/TmpShare/*/personal"
)
}
But that didn't work. I thought it would because the documentation says:
"You can add wild-cards to the File directives listed in the Exclude
directory"
Well, after reading some more documentation I tried this:
FileSet {
Name = "gecko Files"
Include {
Options {
wildDir = "/share/office/TmpShare/*/personal/"
ignore case = yes #so the above will match Personal, etc
Exclude = yes
}
}
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
}
File = /share
}
}
But that didn't work either, so I modified it to remove the trailing /
on the wildDir definition, but that didn't work either. I've been
reading some more documentation examples and now I wonder if I need to
have the Options in the same Include segment as the File definition. In
other words, should I be doing this?
FileSet {
Name = "gecko Files"
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
wildDir = "/share/office/TmpShare/*/personal"
ignore case = yes #so the above will match Personal, etc
Exclude = yes
}
File = /share
}
}
The strange part about that is that I want the signature to be computed
for the Files that are included, not the ones that are excluded. Anothe

[Bacula-users] case insensitive query
I'm using Bacula to back up a Linux Samba fileserver among other machines. Of course the clients to the fileserver are windows machines and they don't care about case in filenames. They create all sorts of case combinations like "document1.doc", "Document2.DOC" and so on. My most common restore scenario is when someone deletes or corrupts a file and asks me to restore a previous version of it. The easiest way to do this in the console is (I think) to use the query command option 2 "List Jobs where a given File is saved", and then pick an appropriate jobID to restore from based on date of backup. The problem is that the search for the filename is case sensitive (the MySQL field is type "binary") so it is hard to guess what filename to enter. I wonder if I could use option 4 "Enter SQL list command" to do a case-insensitive search. Any suggestions on what this SQL command would look like for MySQL? Or is there a better way to do this?

Georg Lutz wrote: On 2006-04-10, Mark Nienberg wrote: How is your method different from the Daily, Weekly, Monthly Tape Usage Example in the Bacula Documentation? 1. The scheduling is different. In Bacula you cannot schedule on the last workday of a month or week because Bacula doesn't know of workdays and holidays. The internal scheduling mechanism does also not know of exceptions. At least at my site there are some days where no operator is here to change tapes and where no backup should take place (because the data is not altered much anyway on these days). 2. The volume recycling is different. I cannot use a recyling based on fixed dates(VolumeRetention), because backup does not take place on fixed dates(exceptions, holidays). My recycling mechanism is: Only overwrite the tape with the oldest data, nothing else. If there are holidays for one week, you end up with 7 tapes which can be overwritten in any particular order when you use the example in the bacula documentation. 3. The tape change is different. As I said in the howto, for security reasons we change tapes daily. Monthly and weekly tapes are stored offsite. So if the site burns down we can restore at least the state before the last weekend. Also I want to have the backup done in a definite timeframe during the night. Its not acceptable for me when the operator needs to change tapes in the morning and the backup is done during the day. Of course you can change this behaviour easily when you set "Maximum Volume Jobs = 2" (for files and catalog). However, that does not mean that my backup scheme is somehow better than others. What backup method one uses depends from the specific needs. I think most admins prefer a "fire and forget" solution with minimal human intervention. This often means that the tape resides in the streamer/changer until the backup software notifies the operators to insert some other tape. Thanks for the explanation.

[Bacula-users] where is bacula-web?
I'd like to try out the bacula-web interface. I installed my bacula by rebuilding the src rpms. I see bacula-web documentation files but I don't see the php web pages themselves. Is this a separate download or am I missing it? Or maybe I was supposed to enable something in the configure?

[Bacula-users] Re: Bug #533 rpm install permissions problems
Kern Sibbald wrote: Hello Scott, I think we are having a few problems with directory permissions on the Bacula working directory, which for the rpm is /var/bacula. I think we need some changer in the configuration code to fix it, because currently all three daemons use the same directory, which is fine from a Bacula stand point, but from a permissions stand point, it won't work unless someone has a good idea. The problem is that the running permissions of Bacula are: DaemonUserGroup Dir baculabacula FD rootroot (I think) SDbacula disk I was thinking about having a separate subdirectory (/var/bacula/dir-working, ...) for each daemon, but in looking at the above table, it seems to me that the solution is simply to change the owner from the default, which is root to bacula. That should allow all daemons to access it with no changes after installing the rpm. What do you (or anyone else) think? I just did a clean install by building the rpms and the File daemon is set to run as root.bacula, not root.root as you suggest. I changed ownership and perms on /var/bacula as follows drwxrwx--- 2 rootbacula 4.1k Mar 15 23:10 bacula/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] var]# ls bacula/ total 33k -rw-r- 1 bacula bacula 198 Mar 15 23:10 BackupCatalog.bsr -rw-r- 1 bacula bacula 560 Mar 15 21:53 bacula-dir.9101.state -rw-rw 1 root bacula 192 Mar 15 17:01 bacula-fd.9102.state -rw-rw 1 root bacula 3.0k Mar 15 23:10 buckeye-dir.conmsg -rw-r- 1 bacula bacula 217 Mar 15 21:54 Client1.bsr -rw-rw-r-- 1 root bacula 8.6k Mar 15 23:10 log and this is working, at least for the tutorial examples.
