But anyway, this problem reminds me of the one I had some years ago. I had a Windows client that suddenly always failed on Full backups, most of the time around 4GB transferred, no problem at all with Incremental, no problems with Linux Clients which were in the same network, and no other applications were having network problem on this Windows server... So I tried upgrading both side, tuning the Windows Network parameters (like checksum offload), played with heartbeat and keepalives... no success. I finally tested with a simple FTP transfert between the Windows client and my Linux SD = it failed at approximately 4GB to. So I ended dumping the network conversation at both side and then compare the dump in wireshark to find out some that at some time, the packet were not received, and were retransmited until it really fails. With those elements I asked the network team to analyse all the network devices involved between FD and SD, and they find out that a switch interface had a lot of errors. After changing it : problem solved ! The fact was that only the Windows Client had the problem, and only Bacula would triggered it out, my guess is that the Linux TCP/IP pile was a little more robust than the Windows one. And it always happened in Full mode because the network is generally more used on Full backups. /mysysadminlife So my advice there : 1) test the network connection between the two hosts, with a high rate tranfert protocol like FTP (or iperf ?). I don't know how iperf handles connection losts, but FTP clients will show you an error and will try to reconnect, you can't miss it if it happens. 2) analyse all the network elements involved in the route between your 2 hosts. Just my 2 cents ! Hi! sorry for not telling what the error is. I send it below. And thanks for the response. I'll test the link with a big file transfer and analyse it.

Re: [Bacula-users] Backup MySQL databases
¡Hi! you can make a dump of the entire database and then periodically (once per hour, once every two hours, etc) you can backup MySQL's binlogs. Regarding the dump file, it's much better if you dump each database in its own file instead of having only one big file with all the databases inside (It will help in the restoration process). ¡Bye!

Re: [Bacula-users] How do I restore to a different disk?
Hi,
We generally use a dedicated FD for restoration only. Then we copy
the files using SCP to the corresponding client.

The restore operation will always happen through a bacula-fd (which
communicates with the bacula-sd), so to restore to a different machine
it'll need a bacula-fd running on it.
If you add it as a client to your bacula setup you'll be able to choose
it in bconsole when you mod the restore job. You can then still change
the Where option in the job to restore it to a different path on that
client.

But I don't remember whether it fixes anything.

[Bacula-users] Restores when the files are not present in the catalog
Hello everybody,
today I had to make a full restore of a client. My backup policy says:
1) Make a full backup monthly.
2) Daily incrementals.
3) Every Sunday, run differential backups.
When I make a full restore, it starts with the last Full, then the
differential volumes follow and last, the incrementals.
Now the problem: The files corresponding to the full backup used for the
restoration were purged. And when I write done in the bconsole, it
does not appear in the list of requiered volumes. My question is: Are
the files backed up in the full volume actually restored?
This is an extract of the bconsole:
Building directory tree for JobId 26975 ... --- In this jobs
the Full volume was written
Building directory tree for JobId 27648 ...
Building directory tree for JobId 28138 ... ++
Building directory tree for JobId 28384 ...
Building directory tree for JobId 28489 ...
Building directory tree for JobId 28544 ... +
Building directory tree for JobId 28582 ...
Building directory tree for JobId 28618 ... +++
Building directory tree for JobId 28693 ...
[... output cut ]
$ done
Bootstrap records written to /var/lib/bacula//some-dir.restore.5.bsr
The job will require the following
Volume(s) Storage(s)SD Device(s)
===
-- Here there should be the Full Volume!
Server-Diff-0001 some-sd-disco FileStorage
Server-Diff-0002 some-sd-disco FileStorage
Server-Inc-0006 some-sd-disco FileStorage
Server-Inc-0004 some-sd-disco FileStorage
Server-Diff-0003 some-sd-disco FileStorage
Server-Inc-0005 some-sd-disco FileStorage
Will Bacula restore the files stored in the Full volume, although that
volume is not listed above? If not, how can I restore those files?
What I've done is the following:
1) Restore only the Full volume. Bacula says there are no files in the
catalog and asks me if I want to restore everything. I said yes.
2) Restore the other volumes, in other job, to the same place.
Well, I hope you can understand my doubt! jeje.
Bye! And thanks!

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, is there a way to cancel a job before it starts running -without changing Bacula's configuration-. This is the problem: I have a job that is going to run at midnight, but for some reason I do not want it to run this particular night (Because the storage device will not be able to catch the data sent, but only for this night). That's why I'd like to cancel the job. I've commented the lines in my Bacula config and there were no problems, but I ask just to know if it is possible or not. Bye bye!

[Bacula-users] Compatibility table
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello, we're backing up some servers, and we ended up with different Bacula versions. Our dir and sd is 2.4.2, and the clients are 1.36.3, 1.38.7, 1.38.11, 2.0.0, 2.2.8, 2.4.1 and 2.4.4 :-) We are planning a migration, and I was looking for a table showing compatibility issues between every version. Is there such a table?

Re: [Bacula-users] Simple bacula-fd test (e.g. telnet)?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi! I've never worked with Macs, but have you tried something like netstat -nltp to see if the daemon is binded to the localhost or to 0.0.0.0 ?? Did you check /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny ?? Bye! Sean M Clark escribió: I just tried to update bacula-fd on one of our client macs which had been working only minutes before. Now network connections to bacula-fd are failing except from localhost. I tried re-installing the older 2.x version that was previous on it, and now IT has the same symptoms. There's a regular firewall rule allowing connection from our bacula director, but attempts to connect time out. If I telnet in from the console on the client itself it does connect, but I have no way to tell if the client is really responding or not (I tried sending Hello Director (director name) calling but it just drops the connection immediately with no message. Since working clients do the same thing, I assume this just isn't a valid message for bacula-fd.) (I suspect Symantec AutoProtect(tm) has decided to interfere with the connections, but I'm not sure - I'd like to confirm that bacula-fd is itself responding correctly to network connections that it's allowed to make.) Is there any simple way to demonstrate the bacula-fd is actually working (and therefore the problem is elsewhere in the network stack) by connecting from localhost? -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

[Bacula-users] Problem with tape
Hello, Today I had a problem with an LTO-3 400/800 tape: I purged the corresponding volume in the catalog; then, when I mounted the tape, the following error message appeared: -- 3902 Cannot mount Volume on Storage Device Tape-LTO-Storage (/dev/nst0) because: Requested Volume on Tape-LTO-Storage (/dev/nst0) is not a Bacula labeled Volume, because: ERR=block.c:1012 Read zero bytes at 0:0 on device Tape-LTO-Storage (/dev/nst0). 3905 Device Tape-LTO-Storage (/dev/nst0) open but no Bacula volume is mounted. If this is not a blank tape, try unmounting and remounting the Volume. The tape did have a label. That's why I don't understand... It's like if the label would have been erased? I mounted it several times, but it didn't work. Finally, I deleted the tape and relabeled it: mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind mt -f /dev/nst0 weof # Then mounted it and label it again... Now it's working fine, but I wanted to know if somebody has had this problem before...

[Bacula-users] Network error when running a Full backup
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hello,
I'm having a problem with a windows 2003 server since some weeks.
The problem appears to happend randomly when I run Full backups (Some
full backup jobs end successfuly, while others don't). This is an
example of the error:

I'm doing backups of this machine since a year and a half, and just
recently it started with this error. The data volume has kept somehow
constant, between 40 and 50 GB during this period.
- - The ethernet cannot be because it's been always the same, we haven't
changed it.
- - The client did not have the Heartbit interval option set, so I set
it; but the problem persists.
- - There have been no changes in the firewall (apart, there is another
windows machine behind the firewall that uses bacula too, an it
doesn't have any problem).
- - The amount of data transfered cannot be the problem, because until
some time (when the full jobs ended right :-) ), the data transfered
was between 40 and 50 GB.
- - Might it be a problem between the bacula versions? Do you suggest
any probe that I could run?
My setup is the following:
Windows 2003 FD Linux machine doing NAT - Linux machine
running Bacula SD and Director
Versions, according to the output of status storage, status
director and status client:
- - Bacula dir: Version: 2.4.2 (26 July 2008)
- - Bacula sd: Version: 2.2.8 (26 January 2008) i486-pc-linux-gnu
debian lenny/sid
- - Bacula fd version:
server2003-fd Version: 2.0.0 (04 January 2007) VSS Linux
Cross-compile Win32
Daemon started 01-Oct-08 13:35, 70 Jobs run since started.
Heap: bytes=101,724 max_bytes=295,310 bufs=100 max_bufs=230
Sizeof: boffset_t=8 size_t=4 debug=0 trace=1
I set the Heartbeat Interval option for every hour: Heartbeat
Interval = 3600
So my fd config file looks like this:
-
---
FileDaemon {
Name = server-fd
FDport = 9102
FDaddress = an_ip
WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/bacula
Pid Directory = /var/run/bacula
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
Heartbeat Interval = 3600# a cada hora
}

Here there are two failed backups, as examples (Note: xx
is the public IP of the firewall doing NAT):
