The first thing to do is to get back on a stable Bacula. I have not tested
the trunk with a tape drive for well over a month, and yet there have been
some *major* modifications to the device handling.
If you don't know how to get onto Branch-2.0, then I recommend going back to
the released 2.0.2. (Sorry I don't have the proper command just in front of
me). Hopefully that will clear up all your problems. If you need the fix for
the encryption problem, download the updated restore.c file from the bug.
By the end of next week, I hope to have version 2.0.3 ready for release ...
I went back to 2.0.2 source with the filed restore.c, and all is
working well now. I did not know the difference between the branch
and trunk; this is my first exposure to an svn tree. That's what I
get for working with things I don't fully understand. :)

[Bacula-users] Director died, no active jobs
Hello all, Sometime last night the director died. The last entry in working/log is this: 25-Feb 08:02 archive-dir: Error: open mail pipe /path/to/bacula/bsmtp -h localhost -f (Bacula) [EMAIL PROTECTED] -s Bacula daemon message [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed: ERR=Cannot allocate memory The system has a gig of ram, and 2 gig of swap. At the moment there is about 35 meg in swap, not unusual for a linux system that has been up some time. Perhaps the system was out of memory, perhaps not; I will have to look further in the system logs. Of more immediate import is that I restarted just the director, and now it reports no active jobs. The SD however is still running and happily spooling data from the two jobs that were running a few hours ago when I last checked it. I've not seen this before so don't know what to expect. Are those spooling jobs lost? Will the SD have to be stopped and the jobs rerun? For the moment I may let them run out and see what happens. -- Michael - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Bacula-users] Tape drive mount problems resolved (svn source bug, I think)
I have a resolution to the mount problems of which I wrote last night, in which bacula attempts to unload a phantom tape from an empty drive before loading the needed tape. I went back to the latest released source, 2.0.2, and all is working again. The changer is a 4 drive, 60 slot unit that has been working well for months.

[Bacula-users] Mount confusion
Hello all, This is on a bacula configuration that has been running fine for a couple of months. It has run through about 45 or so tapes in the changer, so I think I have some confidence in the basic configuration. Last weekend a long running network archive hung, and after 3 days I cancelled it. That never returned to a prompt from bconsole, though opening a second bconsole and running 'stat dir' said it was cancelled, and the spool file continued to accumulate data. After a couple of hours I finally stopped bacula. That seems to have left bacula in something in a confused state. From that time I now have two jobs that will only run on drive 0. This is a 4 drive autochanger, and other jobs use other drives fine. However, two jobs will only run on drive 0, and if another tape is in that drive the job(s) simply block waiting for a mount. When the two jobs are started one after the other, when the first finishes the tapes are not rotated out and the second job continues to emit mount requests. The first job completing changes nothing; it remains in the drive. If I manually unmount the mounted tape of the completed first job to make room for the other, the following messages are displayed: 3307 Issuing autochanger unload slot 1, drive 0 command. 3995 Bad autochanger unload slot 1, drive 0: ERR=Child exited with code 1 Results=Storage Element 1 is Already Full However, the mounted tape did not come from slot 1, but slot 4. It should not be trying to unload the tape into slot 1. When starting one of the jobs alone, with no tapes in the drive and after running 'update slots', there is a message that is issued that does not mean much to me, and I cannot find much of it on google, an invalid slot defined message. 22-Feb 21:15 archive-sd: Invalid slot=0 defined, cannot autoload Volume. 22-Feb 21:15 archive-sd: Invalid slot=0 defined, cannot autoload Volume. 22-Feb 21:15 archive-sd: Please mount Volume FNI0003 on Storage Device Drive-1 (/dev/nst1) for Job Host-Archive.2007-02-22_21.15.56 I have stopped bacula, emptied the drives, started bacula, and then run 'update slots'. I've done that several times, and it has changed nothing. I started bacula with -d400 and dumped the output to a file; that file is about 190k so I will not be sending it to the list. :) I'm sure the answer is somewhere in there, but I don't know enough of what I'm reading to sort it out quickly. I suppose my basic question is just where in the database it might be requiring that particular drive for these two jobs, and how might I clear that up? I think the unload to the wrong slot and the invalid slot messages may be important, but I am not sure just what condition that is indicating. I am running current CVS, as of yesterday, in order get the encryption patch. Thanks for any help someone might have. -- Michael - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Bacula-users] Follow up on the mount problem
Hello again, This is a followup of my earlier post this evening. One of the problem jobs just started again. It is looking for the volume 'FNI0003' to be in drive 0. It was mounted in drive 1, but would not use it. The status of the autochanger is this; FNI0003 is loaded in drive 1. Data Transfer Element 0:Empty Data Transfer Element 1:Full (Storage Element 4 Loaded):VolumeTag = FNI0003 Data Transfer Element 2:Empty Data Transfer Element 3:Empty Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=FNI Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=FNI0001 Storage Element 3:Full :VolumeTag=FNI0002 Storage Element 4:Empty Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag=FNI0004 The command 'stat sd=Q47' gave this status: Autochanger Q47 with devices: Drive-0 (/dev/nst0) Drive-1 (/dev/nst1) Drive-2 (/dev/nst2) Drive-3 (/dev/nst3) Device Drive-0 (/dev/nst0) is not open. Device is BLOCKED waiting for media. Drive 0 status unknown. Device Drive-1 (/dev/nst1) is mounted with Volume= Pool=FishNet-Daily Drive 1 status unknown. Total Bytes=14,781,634,560 Blocks=229,129 Bytes/block=64,512 Positioned at File=23 Block=0 Device Drive-2 (/dev/nst2) is not open. Drive 2 status unknown. Device Drive-3 (/dev/nst3) is not open. Drive 3 status unknown. Note the Volume=; I don't know why that was blank. To move the tape I issued an unmount command on drive 1, and the result was this: 3307 Issuing autochanger unload slot 1, drive 1 command. 3995 Bad autochanger unload slot 1, drive 1: ERR=Child exited with code 1 Results=Storage Element 1 is Already Full Why was the unmount attempted to slot 1? The tape in the drive came from slot 4. The mounted Volume= seems to indicate that bacula clearly thought it had a mounted tape in drive 1, but for some reason it appears to have lost which one. I manually issued the mtx commands to move the FNI0003 volume to drive one, and the blocked job took off and ran. Now I have a blocked drive from the manual unmount of 1, but the mounted volume now has the correct name. Device Drive-0 (/dev/nst0) is mounted with Volume=FNI0003 Pool=FishNet-Daily Drive 0 status unknown. Total Bytes=14,781,763,584 Blocks=229,131 Bytes/block=64,512 Positioned at File=23 Block=2 Device Drive-1 (/dev/nst1) is not open. Device is BLOCKED. User unmounted. Drive 1 status unknown. I really do not know how the drive allocations became so scrambled. It just started happening after the cancellation confusion after the hung network backup last weekend. If anyone has insight on where it might be confused or how to surgically modify the database to un-confuse I am open to trying it. For the moment I will continue to execute the mounts by hand until these volumes are filled and bacula goes on to others. Thanks... -- Michael - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

My only means to do so is the cygwin suite, and up until now there has not been the need, as the Windows releases on SF have not been dependent on precise coordination with the CVS code in the same way as this set of compression+encryption fixes. Since this fix was very recent there are no released versions available incorporating it. Kern will be releasing a new version in the next week or so.

It worked. :) I installed Robert's 1.39.27 beta on a Windows 2k server, touched some files, archived and restored them, all without problems. PKI signatures were on.

That the connection was refused seems significant. At least on a
Centos4 system with a default firewall configured, ports that are
not explicitely permitted are rejected. You don't say what OS you
are running, but you might check if firewall software is running
locally and open the appropriate ports, with source address controls
as necessary.
The significant parts of the configuration files are as follows:
bacula-dir.conf:
Storage {

Password = password
Device = FileStorage
Media Type = File
}
bacula-sd.conf:

Can the problem be in our Bacula configurations or in our network setup?

I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but here are my thoughts: If it breaks something that previously worked, then it is does not fit with the Bacula philosophy of always being able to read Volumes written by prior versions. If something was previously broken -- i.e. could not be read -- then we should attempt to fix it, if at all possible. Maintaining backward Volume compatibility and fixing the problem is the best solution. Hopefully this is what you can do ... If we *must* create an incompatibility with Volumes written by prior versions of Bacula, then we need to think really hard about how to handle it because to the best of my knowledge this has never happened. If certain combinations of options created data that cannot be read under any conditions, then we need to carefully document it and inform the users. The conservative approach is much appreciated. That said, in this particular case it sounds like nothing is lost because the combination of encryption and compression never really worked right. Data might be written to the media, but without Robert's mods it is impossible to get it back because there isn't enough information to recover it. And, we were rightly warned that encryption formats might change before release; that the format warning did not foresee this particular case does not invalidate it. :) From my understanding, I am fine with Robert's changes. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kern Sibbald Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 4:15 PM To: Robert Nelson Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 'Landon Fuller'; bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Encryption/Compression Conflict in CVS Landon, I've changed the code so that the encryption code prefixes the data block with a block length prior to encryption. The decryption code accumulates data until a full data block is decrypted before passing it along to the decompression code. The code now works for all four scenarios with encryption and compression: none, encryption, compression, and encryption + compression. Unfortunately the code is no longer compatible for previously encrypted backups. I could add some more code to make the encryption only case work like before. However, since this is a new feature in 1.39 and there shouldn't be a lot of existing backups, I would prefer to invalidate the previous backups and keep the code simpler. Also I think we should have a design rule that says any data filters like encryption, compression, etc must maintain the original buffer boundaries. This will allow us to define arbitrary, dynamically extensible filter stacks in the future. What do you think? I'm unfortuntely not in a good position to examine this problem in detail, but I suggest that we should do our best to keep the old data readable by any kludge necessary. One possible solution for the new code that you have implemented is to put the new compressed data in a new stream -- i.e. a different one from the old compressed data -- this could possibly allow old Volumes to be read and any new data written to Volumes will be written correctly. One thing to be very careful about is to make sure the length that you store is bigendian-littlendian independent. Probably you have already done this, but if not you need to use the serialization code that is also used for sparse file length. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Landon Fuller Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2006 7:08 PM To: Michael Brennen Cc: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Encryption/Compression Conflict in CVS On Nov 1, 2006, at 2:20 PM, Michael Brennen wrote: On Wednesday 01 November 2006 15:33, Arno Lehmann wrote: This sounds like compression should be automatically disabled when encrypton is enabled.

Bacula has both compression and encryption done in the client, so you both spread the CPU workload and reduce the data transferred across the relatively slow connection. YMMV, but as an example we have one system that uncompressed is in the 18-19 GB range, after compression it only transfers just under 3 GB across the wire.

The problem is that boundaries aren't preserved across encrypt/decrypt. What happens is that after the block is compressed it is encrypted. However since the encryption engine processes data in blocks there may still be bytes from the compressed block in the pipeline when the block is sent to the Storage Daemon. As a result, when the same block is decrypted it may result in only part of the compressed block. Unfortunately there is no way to tell how much decrypted data is required by the decompression engine with the current design.

file in the 4 combinations of encryption/compression off/on.
Running neither, compression alone or encryption alone I was able to
archive and restore a file correctly. Running the two together I
was able to reproduce the problem of 0 length restores, with no
apparent errors.
So... in my testing the combination of encryption and compression is
either not writing files correctly to tape (in which case there is a
lot of tape space taken up needlessly :) or the files are being
corrupted in the restore process; it appears to me to be the latter.
This is on a Linux Centos 4.4 system, dir/sd/fd running on the same
system. The relevant configurations are below.

[Bacula-users] Restore failing on current CVS
I did a clean restart of the entire backup set over the weekend. I relabeled
the tapes, started with a new database, etc. This is on a current Centos 4.4
system.
I carefully configured the windows client systems on 1.39.26, and they can
successfully archive data without error. The director / sd are running on a
linux system, on 1.39.27.
All clients are running encryption, and the FileSet has option GZIP6. The
FileSet and client records for the host I am trying to restore follow. All
Jobs are spooled to disk before being written to tape.
FileSet {
Name = SomeHost-Archive
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
compression = GZIP6
}
File = /backup/somehost

PKI Encryption = Yes
PKI Keypair = /path/to/bacula/keys/fd_archive.pem
}
Testing restores tonight with bconsole (on windows and linux systems), all
appears to work well, but the files are being restored as length 0. I
specifically ran a test where I touched a file to make sure it was archived,
ran an archive, and then ran a restore. The restore listing shows the file
as archived, but the restore still puts the file back as 0 length.
No errors are generated, and the following typical messages are logged; this
was from a linux bconsole client job. Essentially the same messages are
logged on any restores.
30-Oct 20:39 archive-sd: Ready to read from volume FNI on device

I am not sure where to go from here, as there are no apparent errors. I
wonder if it might be encryption related, but I thought I would ask if anyone
else might have any ideas before redoing everything again without encryption.
TIA for any assistance/directions to begin looking that someone can give.

I think you have the buggy version of mtx-changer in 1.38. One of the lines
below in your script will only have MTX, not ${MTX} or $MTX, I don't remember
which one by now. Edit the installed mtx-changer and fix that and see if
that helps. It may not fix your mount problem, but it needs to be fixed in
any case.

Re: [Bacula-users] Capacity planning
On Tue, 24 Oct 2006, G. Armour Van Horn wrote: I've finally decided that I need to do something about network backup. I've been incredibly lucky, but I'm old enough to realize that probably won't last forever. Bacula looks like the way to go, so I'm diving in. I picked up a pair of DLT7000 drives off eBay, and went diving in the boneyard for parts. It looks like I've got an Adaptec 29160 to drive the tape drives and a 36GB hard drive, an Athlon (around 2GHz), a half gig of RAM, and a surprisingly clean case big enough to hold it all. (Alas, I blew out the power supply during Fedora Core 5 installation, larger PS arrives tomorrow for the next try.) You might take care about the 29160, as that is an LVD controller. If you bought SCSI/DIFF drives off of ebay they are probably HVD drives. For that you will need something like an Adaptec 2944 or 3944, or similar. I mention this because I didn't find anything related to capacity issues on the bacula.org website. I'll want to backup my own stuff (two smallish servers, my XP machine, two Macs), my web servers, and then I've got some clients who would really enjoy having their systems backed up remotely. Is my proposed hardware a laughable toy? Or can I really accomplish a fair amount with this, and presumably move to a loader when the volume requires it? I think it should do fine. Bacula does compression and encryption on the client machines, so the 2 GHz processor for the director should be plenty, at least in my estimation. I would very much recommend that you use spooling on the way to tape, so your 36G drive may not be enough. Drives are cheap enough now that that should not be a problem though; if it is used only for spooling and is not part of the archival storage, the reliability of a spool drive is less critical. Also, I'm no expert but I'm under the impression that PostgreSQL is the more robust option for a database, and this is definitely a case where reliability is more important than speed. Is there a significant and specific advantage of PostgreSQL or MySQL in this project? Postgres is much heavier in its requirements in my experience. For what you are doing I would think that Mysql would be more than sufficient. -- Michael - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Keep the changer on the sg1 device, but do change the tapes to nst?.
If you are getting a 3903, you probably need to work with the installed
mtx-changer script. I must apply the attached patch to the installed
mtx-changer to get it to work with one of my autochangers. YMMV, but you
might want to try these changes to see if that helps. This patch is against
1.39.26, which incidentally is recommended by now, so the lines may be off a

That depends on how far you want to go back, how many tapes you want to commit to archive, how often you keep a full, etc. There are not any simple answers to this, it all depends on what you decide you want.

Re: [Bacula-users] Multi-drive regress: found the problem
On Tuesday 17 October 2006 11:05, Kern Sibbald wrote: The problem with the timeout on my earlier regress tests was the AlwaysOpen parameter in the SD configuration. In the early days of my working with Bacula I had set that to off for some reason I don't remember. In my earlier regress tests I had copied my current configuration, which had AlwaysOpen as off. Your regress tests have it on. I can reproduce the problem merely by setting AlwaysOpen to off in your standard regress configuration scripts/bacula-sd-2drive.conf and running 2drive-incremental-2tape. There may be something to look at in the Bacula source but at least now I know what is causing it. Yes, this is interesting. If you have AlwaysOpen off, it is clear that Bacula depending on the timing will be *much* more likely to use only the first drive since with AlwaysOpen off and an offline in mtx-changer, the tapes are not going to stay in the drive as much. The 'mt offline' in mtx-changer until now (because I had not understood the option you describe below) has been necessary to work with the Q47, as it does not take the drive offline before issuing the unload to the changer. I've taken a quick look at the code and see no obvious reason why things should break if AlwaysOpen is off. You might try moving the offline request into Bacula code by turning if off in the mtx-changer script and and enabling OfflineOnClose (or whatever the directive is really called) in the SD. This will give better coordination with Bacula. Please let me know if you do try this. Hmmm... I had not seen that SD option and will definitely try it. I'm glad that at least you found a workaround, and a much more efficient one at that. I have been able to run a clean regress 'all-non-root-tape-tests' on the Overland, with no change to the regress scripts.

I do not see how this can be related to mtx-changer, as mtx-changer only does what it is told. In this case mtx-changer was never told to unload slot 2 from drive 1. The mtx-changer log segments are below. These are contiguous lines in the original file; I have interleaved a few comments to try and make it easy to read. Can you email me as an attachment a regression script that does the above? Or are you saying that one of my current scripts already does this? If so, which one? The standard 2drive-incremental-2tape regression. I understand what you are saying happens, and it certainly is a bug. What I need now is to be able to reproduce it here. As I posted in the bugnotes on 687, I wonder if the simulator is not responding the same way as actual hardware to the lack of an unload. Because it is not having to move actual hardware, it might not block the same way. By the way, yes, I can read your attachments, but it is a real pain. I have to download them first. This takes time (and I have been particularly busy lately). It also makes it very hard to keep track of what is going on since it makes it hard with several attachments to have them all on the screen at the same time displayed in different tabs.

Please add the response to each of the bug reports as a bug note, then it will be clear to me if I can close one of the bugs or work on both of them. They are essentially the same bug. One was running two-pool-tape, the other 2drive-incremental-2tape, but the mtx logs show the same failure. Consolidating to #687 is fine. My apologies for the confusion; it took me some time to sort out what I was seeing and get the debug logs right to finally see the real problem with the missing unload. -- Michael - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Consolidating to #687 is fine. Well, two-pool-tape runs fine here too, but I didn't realize it was what is failing for you so I didn't explicitly run it a bunch of times as I did for 2drive-incremental-2tape. My apologies for the confusion; it took me some time to sort out what I was seeing and get the debug logs right to finally see the real problem with the missing unload. As I mentioned, please look into the possibility that a loaded? request is returning a 0 rather than the correct value. This could explain everything. If Bacula thinks nothing is in drive 1 and drive 0 it will feel free to load any slot into either drive. This should be easy to confirm one way or another. I've not looked at the loaded? requests from my log snippets to see if these are present but will know to look for them.

By the way, it is possible that the tape offline is causing some crazy timing or wierd state in the changer or in the communications between Bacula and the changer. It might be wise to look at it in detail too because here I have not enabled tape offline. I suppose I should try it, but when I get back -- at least got half of my packing done -- a real pain when you cannot take much carry-on. It has been some months since I enabled the offline, but as I recall at least the Q47 will not unload a tape that has not first been made offline. That may be a difference between DDS4 and DLT drives. A test just now on the Overland shows that it will unload a tape without the offline. I tested that just by issuing mtx load and unload commands. The same test on the Q47 shows that it does require the mt offline. An mtx unload alone will not unload a loaded tape. The difference may be whether the changer itself issues an offline if it thinks a tape is loaded, but adding the mt offline seems harmless on the Overland though it is not strictly needed. I have now run the 2drive-incremental-2tape test a couple of times without error on the Overland. This was with my standard patch to mtx-changer for the offline and wait_for_drive. I have now also run the same test a couple of times on the Q47 without error, same patch to mtx-changer. Drat... I hate needlessly taking up someone else's time. I think the only substantive difference remaining between this set and my previous tests is that I am using your DDS-4 configuration unmodified. My drives are not DDS-4, but the DDS-4 label seems to be strictly descriptive for humans, that is, Bacula does not semantically understand that as meaning a certain type of tape. I will work with this some more on my own to see if I can isolate a difference in the device configurations that causes the failures. If I find such I will post it. At least we have a reasonable conclusion before you leave. :) Thanks again, and enjoy your vacation in peace. -- Michael - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

[Bacula-users] Multi-drive regress: found the problem
This is primarily for Kern, though I don't know when he might see it. Hopefully by now he's already gone. The problem with the timeout on my earlier regress tests was the AlwaysOpen parameter in the SD configuration. In the early days of my working with Bacula I had set that to off for some reason I don't remember. In my earlier regress tests I had copied my current configuration, which had AlwaysOpen as off. Your regress tests have it on. I can reproduce the problem merely by setting AlwaysOpen to off in your standard regress configuration scripts/bacula-sd-2drive.conf and running 2drive-incremental-2tape. There may be something to look at in the Bacula source but at least now I know what is causing it. -- Michael - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

[Bacula-users] Finally... a multi-drive failure
Kern, I finally have a logged logic failure. I worked with the mtx-changer script on logging, and I have a log that shows Bacula trying to load a tape into a tape drive when that tape had already been loaded into another drive, without an intervening unload. The relevant snippets from the mtx-changer log are below. I modified the mtx-changer script slightly to add the seconds count in the retrying message so I could tell where the timeout occurred. The following lines are from a single contiguous log. I have interrupted it with my own lines at *** to note the error, and I eliminated some of the many 'not ready' messages with ellipses to improve readability. No lines have been deleted except the 'not ready'. I will be glad to make available both the Bacula log and the mtx-changer log. Since I cannot seem to update into Mantis in a way that you can read, I can mail them directly or put them on an ftp site, as you wish, if you wish. -- Michael 20061010-20:34:15 Doing mtx -f /dev/sg2 0 -- to find what is loaded 20061010-20:34:15 Parms: /dev/sg2 loaded 2 /dev/nst1 1 20061010-20:34:15 Doing mtx -f /dev/sg2 1 -- to find what is loaded 20061010-20:34:16 Parms: /dev/sg2 load 2 /dev/nst1 1 20061010-20:34:16 Doing mtx -f /dev/sg2 load 2 1 *** Above is the load of slot 2 into drive 1 20061010-20:34:59 Device /dev/nst1 - not ready, retrying 0... 20061010-20:35:00 Device /dev/nst1 - not ready, retrying 1... 20061010-20:35:01 Device /dev/nst1 - not ready, retrying 2... 20061010-20:35:02 Device /dev/nst1 - not ready, retrying 3... 20061010-20:36:05 Device /dev/nst1 - not ready, retrying 65... 20061010-20:36:06 Device /dev/nst1 - not ready, retrying 66... *** At this point, slot 2 has been loaded into drive 1. 20061010-20:36:07 Parms: /dev/sg2 loaded 2 /dev/nst1 1 20061010-20:36:07 Doing mtx -f /dev/sg2 1 -- to find what is loaded 20061010-20:36:25 Parms: /dev/sg2 loaded 2 /dev/nst0 0 20061010-20:36:25 Doing mtx -f /dev/sg2 0 -- to find what is loaded 20061010-20:36:26 Parms: /dev/sg2 unload 1 /dev/nst0 0 20061010-20:36:26 Doing mtx -f /dev/sg2 unload 1 0 20061010-20:36:59 Parms: /dev/sg2 load 2 /dev/nst0 0 20061010-20:36:59 Doing mtx -f /dev/sg2 load 2 0 *** Above is the attempt is made to load slot 2 into drive 0, without an intervening unload of slot 2. 20061010-20:37:00 Device /dev/nst0 - not ready, retrying 0... 20061010-20:37:01 Device /dev/nst0 - not ready, retrying 1... 20061010-20:37:02 Device /dev/nst0 - not ready, retrying 2... 20061010-20:37:03 Device /dev/nst0 - not ready, retrying 3... 20061010-20:37:04 Device /dev/nst0 - not ready, retrying 4... ... timeout - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

[Bacula-users] Update on single / multi drive problems
Kern, this is a brief update to the list but primarily with you in mind. Curiously, as of cvs a few days ago the system is now using multiple tape drives again, without any change at all in the configuration. For the last few days bacula is not forcing multiple jobs destined to different volumes to all go through tape drive 0. Since I always note these things after the fact it is difficult to correlate with certainty to a given update, but it *might* have been the 1.39.24 cvs. I updated cvs today to 1.39.25. I am still looking at the regression tests (against current bacula 1.39.25 cvs) and trying to understand why a particular tape load is failing but the regression test sometimes goes on to run successfully anyway. Understanding that may well take some time, as testing is interleaved with everything else going on, but I am trying to be respectful of your time. Thanks again... -- Michael - Take Surveys.

[Bacula-users] Regress scripts / Multi-drive use
Per Kern's request I've been trying to get the regress scripts set up to find a bug in multi-drive usage. In a 4 tape autochanger library only one tape is being used. Up to and including the 9/9/2006 beta multiple drives were being used for archives in different Pools That seems have been lost in recent versions, with no configuration changes. This is a status report on diagnosing the multi-drive problem. Kern, you mention in your README that running on a production system will overwrite the database, unless a different engine is used. I've set up with sqlite to avoid conflict with the mysql production system. What you didn't note is that the regression tests will overwrite tapes loaded in an autochanger! I saw what it was doing and stopped the test in time. You might want to add a warning about running regress on an autochanger with live archive tapes; it will use what is there without asking which ones to use. I now have a test system running with some scratch tapes. After a couple of hours I have the regress scripts built against sqlite and they are trying to run. The default test tape scripts are hard coded in many different places to run against a single drive 'DDS-4' device setup. I am modifying the various scripts and configurations to put in my 4 drive library configuration. That is slow sledding but is starting to come together. When I have something that looks like like the bug I am seeing I will turn in a bug report. -- -- Michael - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Yes, anything involving multiple drives is so terribly complicated that I'm obligated to ask for a test case. The first thing to do is to pull down the rescue module from the Bacula CVS. If would be *much* better if you can check it out of the CVS since you will be able to easily get any changes I make. If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll send you a tar file. Once you get it, read the README. It should be relatively self-explanatory. At that point, you should be able to run the regression scripts. Most likely you will see how easy it is to write one, if not, let me know and I'll explain some more. I'd recommend that you submit your multiple drive problem as a bug report, and attach a listing as a xxx.txt file with the SD set to debug level 50 (this should show us what the reservation system is doing). I have the CVS of 'regress' pulled down. Since it destroys the tables I will have to set up a test system for this. I am willing to do so and have the equipment but it will take a bit. In the interim, would it be helpful to simply run the SD on the current system with a debug level of 50 and send the logs? If not that's okay, I'll set up the test. -- Michael - Take Surveys.

[Bacula-users] Console messages and ACLs
I just logged into Bacula from a client machine that has tighly restricted access. It can only access its own pools, jobs, etc. When I logged in with wx-console I was surprised by a sudden flood of queued console messages for all jobs from last night. Those messages of course give quite a bit of detail that I do not want to be seen by the typical client. Offhand I don't see a good way in the Console resource to restrict message access. Is the best option for the moment simply to disable console message support and depend on email and the logs? -- -- Michael - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Whether or not Bacula uses multiple drives depends in part on your setting of Prefer Mounted Volumes (if I remember the name right), which is set in the bacula-dir.conf file. If you have this set to yes (I think that is the default), it is not going to use the other drives unless it has no choice (i.e. different pools or something that forces it). I defined Monthly, Weekly and Daily pools for each major client that I am archiving. Part of that was specifically to be able to use multiple drives to overlap backups, part of it was to be able to segregate tapes by client. Multiple drive selection and overlapped backup has been working previously without any change to the configuration scripts, certainly without changes to 'Prefer Mounted Volumes'. What I am seeing now is that if a volume is mounted in drive 0, it is unmounted and the new volume mounted in drive 0. Previously it would leave drive 0 alone and place the new volume in drive 1, etc. Unless, you can make it really obvious what is going on here, and currently, it isn't, the only real solution is to write a regression script and submit it. This is regrettable, but the SD has become so complicated now and there is only one of me for the moment, so I don't have much choice. I found the 'Prefer Mounted Volumes' parameter.

Re: [Bacula-users] Manual ejection of tape confuses bacula

I am running bacula director and storage daemon on a Debian (sarge) machine which has a scsi DLT tape drive attached to it. The version of bacula is 1.36.2. It looks promising, except for one annoying, and in my view, serious problem: As a perhaps poor analogy, think of a bacula mounted medium as a mounted filesystem. You want to manually unmount a filesystem before taking it down. It isn't that the mount isn't recoverable if it gets out of sync, but things work more cleanly that way. From what I've seen over the past few weeks, bacula is an excellent choice for multi-system backup. It does take some time to learn to admin it, but that is part of why it is a good choice. The tape drive allows me to eject the tape by pressing an 'unload' button. However, afterwards, when I re-insert the tape, bacula cannot read it, so all the backup data is useless. (Of course, if I have 'unmounted' the tape from within bconsole before ejecting, bacula has no problem accessing the data afterwards.) The question is, is there any way to make bacula accept the tape if the tape was accidientally, 'improperly' ejected? In your described case it might well be as simple as mounting the drive with bconsole if you manually eject/reinsert it. Kern has emphasized to me that in the 1.39.+ releases it will be more important than ever to only make media changes with bconsole. With an autochanger that (nominally) locks closed, I find it easy enough to use bconsole to manage media in the drives; that way I can manage it all running gconsole from my linux desktop. -- -- Michael - Take Surveys.

[Bacula-users] 1.39.2[23] Windows restore problems
This may need to go to bacula-devel, if so please remove it as best fits. I thought to send it to bacula-users to see if others could corroborate or expand on this. I am running 1.39.22 client on a W2003 system, with the director and sd on linux, Version: 1.39.23 (16 September 2006). The backups are working fine with this machine. FWIW the backup is encrypted and client side compressed; that all ran fine last night after relabeling the tapes in uncompressed mode. The commands below are being run against a console configuration that is ACL restricted to this particular client. This is the same restricted console setup that has worked to restore in 1.38 a few weeks ago. The wx-console is not working in graphic mode in the 'restore' tab. This worked several weeks ago with the 1.38 windows client, but not with the above 1.39 versions. In wx-console restore tab graphic mode I can scan the file tree okay, select the files to restore, and when I finally click the 'restore' tab across the top to submit the job, a blank popup comes up with 'wx-console: unexpected restore question'. By then I cannot switch to the 'console' tab to see what is needed. Nothing I have entered blindly, such as pool or file name, has apparently been correct, and wx-console quickly dies. The event viewer only logs an exception c005 at address 0044fb17. So... starting up bconsole, I select: option 9: find the jobids of the most recent backup for a client. That shows the proper client and job, LD-Archive, with the correct volume FNI. I then choose option 7: enter a list of files to restore, and I enter a file, C:/bin/delete_me. That shows a bootstrap message, then shows that the proper volume FNI will be used, and 1 file is selected to be restored. Then the message below is shown and the restore aborts. No authorization. Pool FishNet-Daily. I get the same results if I choose option 5, select the most recent backup, cd to the correct area, mark the file and enter done. The problem seems to be that the wrong pool is being chosen when the job is submitted. The 'no authorization' is expected, as the ACL does not permit access to that pool. However, it should never be showing that pool. 'list media' from a fully enabled console shows FNI in a different pool, not the FishNet-Daily pool. It appears that something is wrong in the final pool select logic. I am not sure what else is needed to help isolate this.

Is that perhaps available but undocumented? To my knowledge - which covers DDS and DLT drives under linux better than other combinations - compression is usually enabled on a per-tape-basis. Meaning that, once the drive encounters a tape with compressed data on it, it will continue compressing data. You have to turn of compression before writing the first blocks of data to any tape to disable compression. What you set with mt is more or less only the default mode for new tapes loaded into the drive. That occurred to me sometime in the middle of the night, but only for tapes to which Bacula had already written data. I had not seen the implications that Bacula having labeled a tape in compressed mode precludes ever writing uncompressed data to it. So, it seems that using encryption with Bacula changes the way that one must think about encryption. That is fine, I just had not seen it before. I am at a reasonable point to start over by relabeling everything with h/w compression off, so that is the approach I will take.

During a full backup over the weekend I noticed that the 35/70 DLT tapes seemed to hold less than I have seen before, about 35G in one case and somewhat over 30G in another. I am wondering if the encrypted data might conflict with automatic tape hardware compression. Would it be better to turn off tape compression with encrypted data? Given that well encrypted data should be statistically equivalent to completely random data, therefore with none of the redundancy that compression typically takes advantage of, it's unlikely that any post-encryption compression would produce signifigant results. If fd side compression is applied before encryption, that would produce good results (at the cost of even more FD cpu cycles), but tape compression probably won't buy you much of anything in either case. That was my intuition. I'll find the Bacula config to turn off hardware compression and see how that goes. Thanks much, -- -- Michael - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

[Bacula-users] RunBeforeJob / tape compression off
It appears that the only way to turn off hardware tape compression is to have RunBeforeJob execute a script that turns off h/w tape compression with 'mt'. I did not see in either released or development documentation that there is a %? substitution for the tape device to be used for the Job about to run; for an autochanger this would allow turning off compression on just the drive to be used. Is that perhaps available but undocumented? It is not a problem in this case as I will simply run a script that disables compression on all four drives. I don't think it will hurt to hit each drive every time a job is run. -- Michael - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

[Bacula-users] Tape drive blocked / cleared
I think I can recount this accurately; again, it is a situation that came up before I was aware of it, so I'm not quite sure how I got there. I think I have cleared it up, so I thought I would post this for comment. Last night after the FNI0016 tape would not mount, apparently due to a label problem, I ended up with one of the four tape drives blocked. A stat showed this message, and bacula would not use the drive. Device is BLOCKED. User unmounted. After consulting the google oracle, the manual and list archives I did not find an exact answer to how to unblock it, but I think I finally figured it out. From a bacula console I manually mounted the relabeled FNI0016 tape into the blocked drive, which was successful. I will not know for certain until tomorrow morning, but the drive appears to be back in service now. My question is this: why did a problem with a particular tape cartridge block the tape drive? Do I understand correctly that this is what blocked the tape drive? Or is it that any user initiated umount blocks a tape drive? Sorry if this obvious or has a documented answer somewhere, I've just not been able to find it. Thanks again, one of these days I will be in a position to help answer someone else's questions. :-/ -- -- Michael - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Could you give the outout from the unmount and mount commands, and from

The current status command output was already below. :)
I will add the full set of messages at the end of this mail.
A question: how can I verify the volume label on this tape, FNI0016? Perhaps
that is not correct?
If Bacula really is aware that the correct tape is loaded and everything
else - media types, pool, slot, etc. - fits I'd be astonished.
I suspect that either the tape loaded from slot 20 is not the volume
requested ('update slots' command in that case!), that the tape label
can not be read, that the slot number is wrong 0-based vs. 1-based?) or
something like this.
In an earlier mail I noted that I had run 'update slots' from a fresh bacula
start, so that should match.
Might be a bug, too, and then you'd need more details for the report
anyway :-)
Fair enough. :)

[Bacula-users] Multi-tape drive status mismatch
I am seeing some inconsistency between what the SD thinks it has loaded in the tape drives and what is actually loaded. The 'stat storage=Q47' output below shows that Drive-2 has slot 11 loaded. That drive is not in fact loaded and volume FNI0010, which corresponds to slot 11, is in the magazine. I noticed a similar situation a couple of days ago, and it took some tinkering to get Bacula to show that there was no tape loaded in Drive-2 in order to load another volume and continue the backup. I have not yet collected enough information to be able to say just what is happening, but I will stay with it. This is more to see if anyone else is seeing similar results. In last night's logs I do see attempts to unload slot 11 from drive 1, both of which resulted in an error exit. I know that when I left last night all tape drives were empty, all tapes were in the magazine, and I had run an 'update slots' so Bacula would know where everything was. In the state in which I left it, I do not think it should have tried to unload slot 11 from drive 1. If I am not doing something correctly I will happily learn what it is, or post config files as needed to help sort it out. I am running CVS as of a few days ago. I just updated CVS and noticed that a number of files have changed; I may try upgrading today and watching results tonight.

So I did some testing using the examples from the documentation

Console {
Name = triceratops.lizardarts.com-console
Password = *removed*
JobACL = triceratops.lizardarts.com
ClientACL = triceratops.lizardarts.com-fd
StorageACL = Disk_clients
ScheduleACL = *all*
PoolACL = clients_Pool
FileSetACL = *all*
CatalogACL = clientsCatalog
CommandACL = restore
}
This works fine on the surface. I can connect only if the
passwords are right. I can only run the commands that are listed
in the command acl. If I use the run command it immediately goes
directly to my one and only backup job. Good so far.
But when I try to run a restore, I see the following. Note that
none of these jobs are even in the same catalog as this client:

I set the FileSetACL to only the FileSet for that particular client,

[Bacula-users] Separating archives from each other
I am fairly new to Bacula. I have it running well with multiple jobs and clients with a Breece Hill Q47 (4 DLT / 60 slot) autochanger. I am running the latest CVS code, as I want to be able to work with some of the new options as of 1.39. In restoring an archived file from a windows system wx console recently, I noticed that the full set of jobs, for all clients, is available to choose from. I did not actually try to restore a file from a different job/client, but it appears that it would be possible to do so. Would grouping systems into different catalogs restrict a given client to see only what is in that catalog? I cannot tell from the docs what creating different catalogs does, and right now I don't want to disrupt the operation by creating different experimental configurations.

[Bacula-users] Archive over slow links / job migration
For several years I have been doing my own D2D2T scheme based on rsync/tar. I have a large capacity disk system in the office that archives systems with rsync across a T1 to the colo cabinets. That is where rsync really is useful, as its differential transfer is so efficient. I am maintaining give or take 150 GB over the T1, with seldom more than 2-3 hours of transfer time in the middle of the night. From the disk I was then spinning things off to tape in my own scheme. For the unix systems I think I will continue to use the rsync method to first stage the archive to disk, then using Bacula to maintain a standard set of full/incremental archives of the disk snapshots. With this system the transfer over the T1 is always a differential transfer, but I can also maintain a hierarchical tape archive set with Bacula. I really like that Bacula has a windows client that can archive ownership and ACLs. However, to archive the windows systems with Bacula means that I must now do the full/incremental archives within the native Bacula scheme of things, which will require that full archives happen periodically over the T1 (or 6 mbit DSL, or whatever relatively much-slower-than-LAN link I pull in to the office). My question is this: will Bacula job migration allow the sort of split use that I am doing for the unix systems? That is, will it be possible, once a full transfer is done, to always do an incremental archive D2D across the T1, then a hierarchical full/incremental D2T scheme on the office LAN? Said another way, I do not see that a job can mount a Bacula disk archive as a client file set to then spin to tape. Again, thanks for any insight that someone can give. -- Michael - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

I thought about that but dismissed it because I didn't think the Bacula disk archive file would have a file system type that mount would understand. What is the filesystem type?

What about a linux or aix box mounting a cifs filesystem, then using rsync from that filesystem to your local disk store? The problem with that is that if the file is ever stored on a unix disk system it loses the windows native ownership and ACLS. If I didn't care about ownership and ACLs I could just run rsync as a service on the remote windows boxes. I already do that in a couple of cases just to preserve the data, but it does lose ACLs and ownership. However... you did trigger a possible different approach. I've implemented the new free VMware server in a couple of internal projects. http://www.vmware.com/products/server/ I think I have a spare windows nt license that I could run on a VM, then rsync between the windows systems.

[Bacula-users] Q47 works / small syntax fix
Hello,
I am new to the list as I just recently began using Bacula a couple
of weeks ago. I am using Bacula with a Breece Hill Q47 with four
DLT7000 drives; it is working well, so that can be added to the list
of autochangers that work with Bacula.
Since I am not really in production yet I decided to do a fresh
installation of the 1.39 test release. I will know tonight if it
works, will keep the list posted on problems I see.
I found a small syntax error on line 156 of mtx-changer. This is
the inventory line, and it is normally commented. The MTX variable
is wrapped in () rather than {}.
