Re: [Bacula-users] Feature idea feeler - bconsole "include / grep"

[Paul Binkley]

Would totally love to be able to use grep within bconsole...was wishing for
that earlier today.

Subject: [Bacula-users] Feature idea feeler - bconsole "include / grep"

This is just a feeler to see if there would be any interest in the following
feature:

Now that we have tab completion within bconsole, an additional option has
come to mind which you can see in various other CLI environments (IOS, *NIX
shells): the ability to pipe the output of commands through a various set of
filters.

In the *NIX shell environment you can simply pipe the output of any program
to 'grep' to filter the output.  Cisco IOS allows you to do the same thing,
along with the 'begin' option, which begins output after encountering the
following token.

I believe this would be a nice feature to have for bconsole.  For example,
if I want to see if particular files/directories were backed up for a job I
could simply perform a '*list files jobid=999 | include
filenameImLookingFor'.  "include" could be interchangeable with "grep".  
I realize that I can accomplish the same thing with SQL queries or submit
bconsole commands via a shell and filtering the output, but this still seems
like it would streamline bconsole usage.

Thoughts?

[Bacula-users] switching between RAID-packs, marking Volume in Error

[Paul Binkley]

Hi Folks,

I have a backup scheme that has been working well, with 1 issue. We write to
a 4.5 TB RAID pack for 30 days, then cycle it as offsite backup, replacing
it with an identical array.

Now obviously each RAID pack has a different set of volumes, so when I
switch them, the first job can't seem to figure out which volume to use and
it marks the one it expects as Error in the catalog. I have to force it to
use a Volume on the new RAID and then it seems to work fine until I rotate
it again. I am concerned that this one Volume is getting marked as
erroneous, and would also like this to be as "hands-off" as possible. Has
anyone done this sort of thing before, and did you experience similar
issues?

I may be missing something fundamental and your input is appreciated.

SD and Director are both running 3.0.3 on separate CentOS 5.3 machines.

Thanks!

As far as I can make out, bacula-console requires X-Windows, which we are
not running.  I haven't seen anything suggesting it will run on a text
console.  If it does, it would simplify my job enormously.

[Bacula-users] ERR=A Required Privilege Is Not Held By The Client...

[Paul Binkley]

Hi All,

Director is 3.0.2, backing up a 32bit Windows Vista client running 3.0.3.

After adding onefs=no to the FileSet options in the director, I get the
error messages during the backup:

Cannot open "C:/Documents and Settings/.../":ERR=A required privilege is not
held by the client.

And,

Could not open directory "C:/Documents and Settings/.../":ERR=Access is
denied

What do I need to do to allow bacula to backup these directories?

Many Thanks,
Paul

[Bacula-users] How to apply different retention periods to different jobs on same client

[Paul Binkley]

Hi all,

I have a situation where I need to apply different retention times to a
variety of jobs on a single client. I tried to define the retention periods
in the Job but it doesn't work (bacula doesn't like it there).

For example, on one machine I have a set of data that I want to be replaced
on a weekly basis, while everything else has a 30 day retention. Can this be
done?

 

Thanks!

[Bacula-users] Upgrading/migrating bacula director 2.4.4 to 3.0.2 on new machine

[Paul Binkley]

Hi all,

 

I wanted to follow up and share my experience with this subject, and ask for
any input about problems I can expect.

 

I seem to have gotten my 2.4.4 director and catalog upgraded to 3.0.2 by
doing the following:

*   Installed Bacula 3.0.2 on CentOS 5.4;
*   Created the empty sqlite DB;
*   Copied bacula.db from production machine (fedora 11) to new machine;
*   Ran "update_bacula_tables" on the copied DB;
*   Test to make sure director will start;
*   Copied appropriate .conf files (after backing up default ones);
*   Modified paths in .conf files as needed;
*   Disable production director and shut down server;
*   Gave new machine the IP of the production machine;
*   Restart director;
*   Use bconsole to verify that the catalog is complete;
*   Run a job;

 

Anything I am overlooking?

 

Thanks!

Hi list,

 

I have been using Bacula 2.4.4 in production for several months now, so I
have a robust set of backup volumes. I now have a new machine (CentOS 5.4)
up and running with Bacula 3.0.2 installed. Besides fixing up the conf
files, how do I make the new installation work with the existing data? I
don't want to lose access to the 5TB of backed up data.

 

Is there a way to upgrade the existing database and plug it in to the new
installation while retaining all the important information that Bacula needs
to continue using/recycling volumes or accessing existing volumes for
restore?

 

 

Thanks much!

[Bacula-users] dependency resolution issues installing 3.0.2

[Paul Binkley]

Hi Folks,

Has anyone seen this dependency error before, and if so, what am I doing
wrong?

libpython2.5.so.1.0 is needed by package Bacula-sqlite-3.0.2-1.i386
(/Bacula-sqlite-3.0.2-1.fc10.i386)
libcrypto.so.7 is needed by package Bacula-sqlite-3.0.2-1.i386
(/Bacula-sqlite-3.0.2-1.fc10.i386)
libssl.so.7 is needed by package Bacula-sqlite-3.0.2-1.i386
(/Bacula-sqlite-3.0.2-1.fc10.i386)

I found these similar files on my system.
/usr/lib64/libpython2.5.so.1.0
/usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.7
/usr/lib64/libssl.so.7

Is the problem that Bacula is 32 bit and these dependencies are x64? How can
I get around this?

Thanks!

BTW, The host machine is Fedora 11 x64. I have been running Bacula 2.4.4 on
this machine without issue for months but need to upgrade

Re: [Bacula-users] Possible to downgrade sd/fd from 3.0 to 2.4?

[Paul Binkley]

Sorry, Director is running 2.4.4 on CentOS 5.3. Storage Daemon is running
3.0.2 on a different CentOS 5.3 machine. Director and Storage are fine
together, but the 2.4.4 director cannot access the 3.0.2 fd (running on the
sd machine). This is all with sqlite.

Do you think upgrading the director is a better solution over the long-term
since the 3.0 director can talk to 2.4 clients?

Of note, I am having dependency problems while trying to upgrade director
from 2.4 to 3.0. Different issue I guess. I will pose that question in a new
thread based on your advice here.

Thanks!

You did not say what OS your 3.0 client was on. Also a 3.0 director
can talk to a 2.4.X client. At home I have this setup.

[Bacula-users] Possible to downgrade sd/fd from 3.0 to 2.4?

[Paul Binkley]

Hi Folks,

I hope someone can help. I have been using Bacula for a couple of months now
running 2.4 on the director and all client daemons, and 3.0 for the storage
daemon (my mistake). This has been working fine. The 3.0 file daemon isn't
compatible with the 2.4 director, so I need to downgrade.

It seems to be much more trouble to upgrade all the clients and the
director, so downgrading the sd seems to be the best option. Does anyone
have experience with this? What kind of trouble will I be getting into?

Thanks!

[Bacula-users] Director connection failure -- FD and SD on same machine

[Paul Binkley]

Greetings,

 

I am having an issue in that the director cannot communicate with a
particular file daemon. The file daemon in question is running on the same
machine as the storage daemon.

 

If the file daemon is not running, the director has no problem with any
other file daemons, but if the fd in question is running, the director can
communicate with other clients only until a failed try with the problem fd.

 

The included console output shows this anomaly. Notice that the estimate
works fine for 2 different clients, then fails when trying to access the
"bad" client, then can no longer access the previously good clients.

 

Also possibly of note is the fact that the Fatal Error line shows that the
director seems to be stuck on the bad fd (xxx.xxx.0.70:9102) after the
original failure.

 

Thanks for any suggestions.
