Re: [Bacula-users] How to save /dev tree and base directories only?

[Pedro Oliveira]

Some directories are irrelevant into a backup. For example:

   - /dev/*
   - /proc/*
   - /sys/*
   - /tmp/*
   - *lost+found

They are created during the boot, and are related specific with your
devices and/or your running processes.

While its irrelevant to backup or not - your kernel will recreate those
directories when boot from restored backup - you probably will save a
little time if you do not backup it.

Re: [Bacula-users] Questions re installing on Debian 11 Bullseye

[Pedro Oliveira]

Hi  Vaughan

Heitor from Bacula Latam has a script that automates the Bacula 
Instalation process.


Please have a look at

https://www.bacula.lat/community/bacula-community-9-x-official-packages-installation-script/?lang=en

Hello,

I’m trying to the follow the installation / setup instructions here 
https://www.bacula.org/13.0.x-manuals/en/main/Installing_Bacula.html


Unfortunately, I’m finding these docs hard to follow.

The ‘Installing Bacula’ section appears to focus primarily on building 
Bacula from the source.


However, in my case, I have downloaded the Debian 11 binaries, so I 
think this section is largely irrelevant in my scenario.


I have downloaded and installed the following packages:

sudo dpkg -i bacula-common_13.0.3-1_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i bacula-client_13.0.3-1_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i bacula-console_13.0.3-1_amd64.deb

sudo apt-get install dbconfig-common

sudo apt-get install dbconfig-pgsql

sudo apt-get install postgresql-contrib

sudo dpkg -i bacula-postgresql_13.0.3-1_amd64.deb

During the postgresql installation a menu appeared, and I was prompted 
to perform some high-level database configuration.


So, to the best of my knowledge I have installed Bacula OK and basic 
PostgreSQL configuration is done.


In the tutorial section 
https://www.bacula.org/13.0.x-manuals/en/main/Brief_Tutorial.html


The first step is:

 1. cd 

But I don’t have an install directory, as I downloaded all of the 
binaries. So, where should I be starting from?


Step 2. Start the Database.

According to systemctl: PostgreSQL service is active.

Step 3. Start the Daemons with ./bacula start

I get no such file or directory.

The files / folders that I do have are:

/opt/bacula

/opt/bacula/scripts/bacula

/var/log/bacula

/var/lib/bacula

Would appreciate some suggestions on what to do / try next.

Also, is there by chance another installation guide / tutorial that is 
perhaps easier to follow than this guide. I’ve had a look on Google 
and YouTube and while I have found some other resources, they don’t 
seem to be the “answer”. So, for now, I’ve been persisting with this 
guide.


Thanks

Regards,

Vaughan

Hi Radosław,

Thanks for the information.

I know that the NDMP-plugin is commercial, and we are willing to pay 
license fees (up to a reasonable amount, of course) for using it with 
Bacula community edition. I'm not interested in the full Bacula 
Enterprise edition, as it's a complete overkill in our case. Another 
aspect is migration. If forced to migrate our very well working Bacula 
installation, there are also other backup products to consider.


Though I'm quite annoyed that Bacula Enterprises hasn't bothered to 
contact me at all.


Best regards,

Peter

Hi folks,

Is there anybody having any experience with Bacula community
edition and
the NDMP plugin (commercial)? Does it work with the community
edition?


If you have access to Bacula Enterprise NDMP Plugin then use it with 
your Bacula Enterprise installation. Do not bother to force the 
Bacula Community client to use this plugin.

Just use Bacula Enterprise. This is the simplest possible solution.

From a technical point of view I know how to do it. But from a legal 
point of view you should not use this software in that way.



I  need to backup data from a NDMP-compliant NAS, and it starts
to get
urgent. 



Just use Bacula Enterprise. This is the simplest possible solution.

I contacted Bacula Systems about a month ago about this, but no
reaction so far. Hopefully, I can get some more information from the
community.


Ok, this changes the view.
I can forward your email to our sales to close the deal if you wish. 
We (Inteos) are very professional and we can help in every case.

Re: [Bacula-users] Q: disk file volume error state - keep or delete?

[Pedro Oliveira]

On Pool Client1 you need to have this Pools Configured.


*ScratchPool = *This directive permits specifing a 
specific scratch Pool to be used for the Job. This pool will replace the 
default scratch pool named/Scratch/for volume selection. For more 
information about scratch pools seeScratch Pool 
<https://asda12bnghjwwasdasdauth.docs.baculasystems.com/core/director.html#blb-thescratchpool>section 
of this manual. This directive is useful when using multiple storage 
devices that share the same MediaType or when you want to dedicate 
volumes to a particular set of pools.


*RecyclePool = *This directive defines to which pool 
the Volume will be placed (moved) when it is recycled. Without this 
directive, a Volume will remain in the same pool when it is recycled. 
With this directive, it will be moved automatically to any existing pool 
during a recycle. This directive is probably most useful when defined in 
the Scratch pool, so that volumes will be recycled back into the Scratch 
pool. For more on the see theScratch Pool 
<https://asda12bnghjwwasdasdauth.docs.baculasystems.com/core/director.html#blb-thescratchpool>section 
of this manual.

I do have a Scratch pool, but not a recycle pool. What should the recycle pool

to make further configurations for that to happen?

Pool {

   PoolType = "Backup"
}

Regarding the error state volumes, if you dont need them and don’t have any 
data written in the filesystem then you could change the volume status to 
append or remove them from the system.

Hello Pedro,

TBH I don’t see how the pool config is related to my question, but sure, I can 
do:

Pool {
   Name = “client1"
   PoolType = "Backup"
   LabelFormat = "vol-"
   ActionOnPurge = "Truncate"
   MaximumVolumes = 20
   MaximumVolumeJobs = 6
   MaximumVolumeBytes = 500
   VolumeRetention = 864
   Storage = "storage1"
   AutoPrune = no
   Catalog = “MyCatalog”
}

I would like to know: do I just delete the volumes that are in “Error” state or 
what else is the preferred course of action?

Hi Pedro,

I wrote that I was able to get Bacula to write new volumes. That is not part of 
my question.

My question is this:

Now I have in my catalog a number of disk file volumes in state “Error”. There 
are no corresponding volume files on disk with the names found in the catalog.

Will Bacula recycle those volumes automatically (I supposed it doesn’t)?
If not, what to do with those error volumes in the catalog? just delete them? 
Or move then to scratch?

Best,

[Pedro Oliveira]

For Bacula to move the volumes to sracth pool we will need to have  scratch
pool defined on the pool client1 also for recycle pool.

Regarding the error state volumes, if you dont need them and don’t have any
data written in the filesystem then you could change the volume status to
append or remove them from the system.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula 9.6 - Pool clean up (with migration?)

[Pedro Oliveira]

Hi Andrea,

You could take advantage of the Bacula Recycle and Scratch Pools.

Scratch Pool, pre-created volumes

The scratch pool is an excellent labour-saving feature. Rather than 
pre-assign all your volumes to the different backup pools, you can place 
all your volumes into the scratch pool, and configure your backup pools 
to take a new volume from the scratch pool when needed, and return 
expired volumes back to the scratch pool when recycled. This means your 
backup pools only ever contain full (or a single part-used) volumes. 
This is again useful when running low on disk space, since volumes no 
longer need to be manually moved and relabelled to make space elsewhere.

Hi Jose

Yes you can. You would need to build a bsr file with the specific fileindex
of the jobids

Re: [Bacula-users] Problem with Bscan, cant find catalog to put a tapelistng into the database

[Pedro Oliveira]

Hi Leever

Change your Postgresql pg_hba.conf to the following,

# Allow any user on the local system to connect to any database with
# any database user name using Unix-domain sockets (the default for local
# connections).
#
# TYPE  DATABASEUSERADDRESS METHOD
local   all all trust

# The same using local loopback TCP/IP connections.
#
# TYPE  DATABASEUSERADDRESS METHOD
hostall all 127.0.0.1/32trust

# The same as the previous line, but using a separate netmask column
#
# TYPE  DATABASEUSERIP-ADDRESS  IP-MASK 
METHOD
hostall all 127.0.0.1   255.255.255.255 
trust

# The same over IPv6.
#
# TYPE  DATABASEUSERADDRESS METHOD
hostall all ::1/128 trust

# The same using a host name (would typically cover both IPv4 and IPv6).
#
# TYPE  DATABASEUSERADDRESS METHOD
hostall all localhost   trust

Execute Postgresql Reload to assume the new connection parameters, and 
then execute BSCAN, it will be easier to "bscann" the volumes whiteout 
asking for Postgresql Password.


Please, don't forget after terminating the Bscan to revert the Psql 
Pg_hba.conf to the original state.


Best

Pedro

Re: [Bacula-users] Identify corrupted volume files

[Pedro Oliveira]

Hi Jose,

you can create a new verify job and check the catalog against the disk or
create a script and use the bscan and  bls volume utility tools, please
check the following urls:

*Verify*Run a verify Job. In general, *verify* jobs permit you to compare
the contents of the catalog to the file system, or to what was backed up.
In addition, to verifying that a tape that was written can be read, you can
also use *verify* as a sort of tripwire intrusion detection.

For a *Verify* Job, the Level may be one of the following:

*DiskToCatalog*This level causes Bacula to read the files as they currently
are on disk, and to compare the current file attributes with the attributes
saved in the catalog from the last backup for the job specified on the
*VerifyJob* directive. This level differs from the *VolumeToCatalog* level
described above by the fact that it doesn't compare against a previous
Verify job but against a previous backup. When you run this level, you must
supply the verify options on your Include statements. Those options
determine what attribute fields are compared.

This command can be very useful if you have disk problems because it will
compare the current state of your disk against the last successful backup,
which may be several jobs.

Re: [Bacula-users] Problems with LTO5 drive

Hi Sebastian

Before you test you tape drive with Btape I would suggest to test your
drive first with the vendor tape tools, if your tape drive is HP you can
find it here
