Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula release version 7.4.4

[Randy Katz]

This question is starting to sound like a general "how do I use Bacula?"
question. Please see the documentation

about how to configure your Director and Clients and work up an initial
test backup. I assume whichever machine

is already running your Director either has  a mount on the FreeNAS or
is the FreeNAS system and can select a

directory to backup to there. Once you have your Director working with a
test Client and the backups are running

you should know if you have any further questions.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula accurate issues

[Randy Katz]

I'm not saying you are bad like me, but, I just had what looks like this
issue and there was an "archive"

being made in that machine that contained those files. I see you have
this on multiple machines, but I would

check just in case. Otherwise there *could* be another reason but I am
unaware of it.

Re: [Bacula-users] new install - missing setup steps?

I dont remember where the instructions are. Just use those scripts to create 
and setup the bacula database from the mysql root with ~/.my.cnf so it doesnt 
ask for password.

[Bacula-users] Remove Client - Lazy Question

[Randy Katz]

Hi, if I remove a client that is currently on a backup schedule (full,
diff, incr) with it's retention (90 days or something like that)

so now the director issues an error "JobId 7172: Warning: bsock.c:107
Could not connect to Client:". Will it leave alone the currently

backed up jobs or will it purge them according to the retention? In this
particular case I would like it to purge them over the retention time

but in other cases I might want to lock it, in which I guess removing
the client from the director and the jobs to a different file location

should do the trick (disk backup, not tape).

Thanks in advance for any comments.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula - Sqlite to Mysql

[Randy Katz]

you can copy your config files to another directory, typically a
reconfigure will not remove config files.

as for mysql you should find all the pertinent db creation scripts in
/etc/bacula. The part that pertains to

the database is usually in bacula-dir.conf and looks something like this:


Catalog {
  Name = MyCatalog
# Uncomment the following line if you want the dbi driver
# dbdriver = "dbi:mysql"; dbaddress = 127.0.0.1; dbport =
  dbname = "bacula"; dbuser = "bacula"; dbpassword = "p24b2p"
}

So if you created a mysql database called bacula, gave the bacula mysql
user access to it with a

password of p24b2p and used the above instead of what is in there and
then ran the create database command

create_bacula_database that should get you on your way.

Re: [Bacula-users] Problems using compression=LZO with some clients

[Randy Katz]

Hi, it looks like you recompiled and installed from source, if you have
installed that then it should definitely

backup with compression. Have you tested putting it in place and doing a
test backup?

Re: [Bacula-users] compile of bacula 5.2.13 failing

[Randy Katz]

ps I checked 2 directors that do not backup windows and the tables were
there but empty, so if you have

any question I guess the answer is that the default database has it and
that it is used when Windows backups

are created (or restored). PS you don't need to build bacula to get the
database table structure. You just need

to backup the db in place and issue the command to rebuild the database.
They are in /etc/bacula:

drop_bacula_database

create_bacula_database

from there you could examine the db created.

Re: [Bacula-users] Problems using compression=LZO with some clients

[Randy Katz]

Hi, I have Bacula clients which are CentOS 6 / cPanel backing up fine.
Please specify which Bacula client version, are you

compiling it, if so provide the config end results (./configure
--enable-client-only) like this (notice ZLIB and LZO support are yes

on CentOS 6 you must install the lib and devel before compiling: (yum
install zlib zlib-devel lzo lzo-devel):

Well for Bacula there is this list and the documentation, here:
http://blog.bacula.org/documentation/documentation/

But you mentioned non Bacula enterprise, not sure what you are referring
to. At any rate if you have specific problems or

questions that you have not found solutions to in the docs you can ask here.

Re: [Bacula-users] Client backup with compress

[Randy Katz]

Heitor,



-->Hello, Randy: it is kind of hard to follow this since this thread was
hijacked by you. =)

I was trying to be helpful and in the process discovered one of my
clients was not compressing, if you
call my activity highjacking then I will stay off this list. One client
not compressing out of 40 is the least
of my worries at this point. I am happy you can point to an issue in the
config file in respect to the OP of
this post, however, it is not so in my case, and running latest and
confirmed all the relevant development
libraries at compile time.

Re: [Bacula-users] Client backup with compress

[Randy Katz]

Kern, if you have been following this my fileset is quite default, does
not receive an error, and still does not compress,
only on one client out of about 40:

FileSet {
  Name = "client-28-filesetdefinition"
  Include {
Options {
  signature = MD5
  compression = GZIP
}
File = /
  }
  Exclude {
File = /tmp
File = /proc
File = /.journal
File = /.fsck
File = /home/virtfs
  }
}

Re: [Bacula-users] Client backup with compress

[Randy Katz]

Yes, her client compilation confirmed compression for gzip and lzo...so now I 
would think there is an issue here. I also have one client out of around 40 
that is not compressing. Dir and fd compiled from source version 7.4.0.

Re: [Bacula-users] Client backup with compress

[Randy Katz]

Hi Ankush, are you sure the files you are backing up can be compressed?
You might
want to try a separate backup on the same client of something like
/usr/local /etc
just to test, these should definitely compress. Sometimes video, audio
and other dense
files do not compress.

Re: [Bacula-users] Client backup with compress

[Randy Katz]

HEY GUYS, READ THIS!

FYI - I found something really strange about this, and you might want to
check because I have
many servers running and compression is fine, LZO and GZIP, however I
just installed a new
client and now it is not compressing. Then I also discovered it is
backing up full on every Incremental,
so I said WTF! And on this particular server ntpd is not running. So I
reconfigure /etc/sysconfig/clock,
/etc/localtime (CentOS 6), install ntp, crank up ntpd and walla, now
incrementals are incremental and
compression is compressed!!!

Re: [Bacula-users] Director will not connect to a remote client

[Randy Katz]

Hi, you keep saying you "forwarded" the ports. I don't think that that
is the correct way to
use the firewall rules, unless you are trying to create a new
terminology or are confused. The
ports, per the firewall doc, need to be open. In my setup I use iptables
rules to open the specific
ports for the specific directors and their ports and/or clients for
their ports. Looks something
like this on the client side:

ACCEPT tcp  --  anywhere directorname.mydomain.ext   tcp
dpt:bacula-sd
ACCEPT tcp  --  directorname.mydomain.extanywheretcp
dpt:bacula-fd

And like this on the director side:

ACCEPT tcp  --  clientname.mydomain.ext  anywheretcp
dpt:bacula-sd

So there are no FORWARDING statements in that configuration, I would
consider this, test
the telnet statements that folk have posted, that should point in the
right direction.

On Redhat/CentOS try installing (yum install):
zlib
zlib-devel
lzo
lzo-devel
and then restarting bacula. I have never tried this as I always
compile these sorts of things from source.

 Hello,
 after Windows client upgrade from public 5.2.10 to developers'

 Elapsed time:   4 hours 28 mins 43 secs
 FD Files Written:   180,897
 FD Bytes Written:   18,411,348,578 (18.41 GB)

 The difference is in ~ 10,000,000 entries.

 Full job has ~ 33,000,000 entries, where there are ~ 10,000,000
 directories and ~ 23,000,000 files (strange itself). Job listing
 confirmed, that 7.0.5 Windows client includes all directory
 entries on the server in the incremental backup. Please, is there
 a configuration possibility to work around this problem?

 I have tried 7.4.0 for personal use also, and it works like 5.2.10,
 so maybe just 7.0.5 has this bug? Meantmime, I had to return to
 5.2.10.

 Thank you.

If it's any help I was running bacula-win64-5.2.10 until recently and
upgraded to bacula-enterprise-win64-7.4.0 without a hitch. Directors are
all running 7.4, were running each upgrade until 7.4 previously.

Re: [Bacula-users] chmod 770 (was Re: Bacula Release 7.4.0)

This doesn't make sense. So I checked mine:

grep 'chmod 770' *
Makefile:   chmod 770 $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)
Makefile:  chmod 770 $(DESTDIR)$(working_dir); \
Makefile.in:chmod 770 $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)
Makefile.in:   chmod 770 $(DESTDIR)$(working_dir); \

grep sysconfdir config.log
sysconfdir='/etc/bacula'
grep working_dir config.log
working_dir='/opt/bacula/working'

Are you sure you didn't pass "special" config parameters to ./configure?
The above
from my setup are unaltered from the source tarball.

Re: [Bacula-users] Maximum Bandwidth Per Job Question

[Randy Katz]

My original question, is anyone using Max Bandwidth successfully and
what are YOUR optimal settings?
This is in the context of having multiple KVM VMs backing up from a
node. If you are not using Max Bandwidth
then this question is not for you. Thanks!

As for looking into ethtool, subtracting the amount bandwidth average
used from capacity and dividing that by the amount
of backup processes minus a percentage for overhead, I can do that, and
understand that well. This is not really my question.
If anyone cares to share, I thank you in advance.

Using compression, GZIP, no level is set. Here is a a copy/paste from
one of the recent backups:

  FD Files Written:   1,849,713
  SD Files Written:   1,849,713
  FD Bytes Written:   153,782,430,234 (153.7 GB)
  SD Bytes Written:   154,119,461,239 (154.1 GB)
  Rate:   2005.4 KB/s
  Software Compression:   35.9% 1.6:1
  Snapshot/VSS:   no
  Encryption: no

I am not sure if LZO is the answer in this case. According to a previous 
discussion it
may not be much different, performance wise.

As for the question from Ana of when 
servers are not going to be used well it is already set for that time but there 
is never
really a time when servers should be very very slow or inactive. As for your 
suggestion
to buy another software I have been using Bacula for many years and have not 
had any
issues until recently due to increased activity and am asking the question 
about Maximum
Bandwidth and what settings folk are using as it appears to be only a bandwidth 
limit/throttle
and not a CPU issue.

Thanks!

There are hosts with 100Mb and 1000Mb adapters in the mix.

[Bacula-users] Maximum Bandwidth Per Job Question

[Randy Katz]

Hi,

I am having the issue that servers that have multiple KVM VM's that are
being backed up
are throttling the servers resources and bringing it to a crawl. I tried
staggering the Schedule
times which resulted in the server being throttled for a shorter amount
of time. I don't like
my servers to be throttled, mainly because they need to serve!

Is anyone using Maximum Bandwidth Per Job in this capacity and what
bandwidth setting
have you found to be optimal, and if you know why that would be most
appreciated, thanks!

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula Release 7.4.0

[Randy Katz]

Hello Kern,

FYI:

I had already downloaded and ran the personal version. And now am proud
to say I have paid for it based on your
response. Glad to help, especially if/when it is affordable!

Also, you should know that the version that is there is already 7.4.0,
my question was more of if there was a different
version for those that paid for it but I guess that makes no sense since
7.4.0 is the latest release. At any rate safe
travels please!

---snip---

If you go to www.bacula.org -> Downloads -> Download Center you will
find where you can download the Windows binaries for 7.2.0 or 7.4.0 for
personal use free of charge. However, if you are a hosting company, you
should go to Bacula Systems and purchase the binaries. I prefer to
consider the modest fee a donation for more open source features for
those who really can afford to make a donation, but the real reason is
that it is simply to compensate Bacula Systems for the work they pay to
be done (writing code, building the package, making it available). No it
is not a Windows issue. I am not 100% sure that they currently have the
7.4.0 binaries, but the 7.2.0 binaries *should* work with a 7.4.0
community version. If you *really* need a non-personal use license for
the 7.4.0 binaries, please contact me directly at k...@sibbald.com.
However, I will be off-line for a couple of days while travelling.
Thanks for asking about the license :-) Best regards, Kern

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula Release 7.4.0

[Randy Katz]

Ran my script yesterday to upgrade all the FD's, took 4 times as long as
I thought it would!
All backups running without a hitch, much thanks for a successful
upgrade! I don't take
this for granted.

FYI - I am backing up one Windows VM instance, according to Bacula it
seems we must pay
for a license to do this? a) Is the software with the $25 license any
different than the personal
download (not that I really care, will buy the license regardless)? b)
Is this licensing in order to
compensate the packager for doing the compile or is it some Windows
related issue, just curious?

Thanks,
~r

ps you could also remove what is it the working directory:

/var/bacula/working
or
/opt/bacula/working

though it is not critical

Re: [Bacula-users] wiping test backups and starting again.

[Randy Katz]

Yes, however, formatting the disk is a bit extreme, you can just go to
the designated
directory and remove all the files, if it takes a while you can
background the task:

cd /baculabackupdirectory

nohup rm -f * &

or if you have subdirectories

nohup rm -rf * &

[Bacula-users] new bacula install - keyboard scroll question

[Randy Katz]

Hi,

I have several Bacula directors running. When I go into bconsole
and issue a command and then push up arrow it scrolls to the previous
command, as it should. I just setup a new Bacula server, same version
bacula-7.2.0 and same ./configure --with-mysql command and this
one does not scroll. I have verified scrolling is working at the OS level.
Is there anything in the conf files that could/would affect this?

Best regards,

Re: [Bacula-users] Compile release 7.2.0 from sources failed in Centos 6.7

[Randy Katz]

I compiled 7.2.0 on around 50 VMs, I had a problem on one of the 50. I
tried to identify the difference between
that VM and could not so I ended up going to the version before and it
compiled on that VM. I don't remember which
VM it was but if you need the info I will dig through my backup notices
and find it, otherwise it is fine running
from the previous version for now. We don't use RPMs for Bacula, always
compile.

Re: [Bacula-users] restore director

[Randy Katz]

Last I had to use bscan it worked fine by the simple docs...takes a long time 
though. As for backing up your conf and database that is defined in the example 
configurations. You should never rely on a backup tool you have not tested the 
restore procedures with.

But look on the bright side! People are learning this stuff all the time
so you can probably learn
it as well! And with free software like Oracle's Virtualbox around you
should be well on your way, please
forgive me for addressing this as it is getting off topic. Best regards!

[Bacula-users] ssd drive question

[Randy Katz]

Hi,

Has anyone tried to use an SSD drive to house the MySQL database for
Bacula and understand the
performance differences, if any? I am wondering if it will provide a
significant speed boost to running it
on disk or not. Any clues might be very helpful, thanks.

ok, my mysql did the same thing:

mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.21, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1

I just setup a user that can access without a password and made the string:

mysql+mysqlconnector://usernopass:@localhost

which seemed to work, forgot about that!

Re: [Bacula-users] Preserving data of decommissioned Bacula client

[Randy Katz]

I asked this recently and was pointed to the docs on bscan.
So I tested bscan on a separate Director box and it works very
well, takes a while, but is feasible. So you would:

Get hard copy or the best thing to it of the last Full backup you want
to save and/or any incr/diff after that.

When you need to access that for restore you would run bscan on the
volume (be it
tape or hard drive file) and then access the jobs there were restored.

My advice is to do a small Full backup of some data, transfer that
volume to a
different Director and work the tools (bscan) on it and do a restore so
you know
the process.

The link to the docs for bscan is here (version 3.0x though I don't know
where it is in the current docs):
http://www.bacula.org/3.0.x-manuals/en/utility/utility/Volume_Utility_Tools.html

Regards.

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula *** Backup Error ***

[Randy Katz]

fyi - when I upgraded bacula from 5.0.3 to 5.2.1 I upgraded the Director 
and then ran a backup
of a 5.0.3 client just out of curiosity, and it backed up just fine. So 
I strongly doubt it is a version
problem, as also your log says is the latest version:

[Bacula-users] compression

[Randy Katz]

Hi,

Has anyone changed from GZIP compression to LZO for disk backups and 
tracked the
performance / disk space usage difference? Any advocates out there? 
Anyone of the
opinion it is the only way to go.

Any hints appreciated thanks,
Randy Katz

[Bacula-users] backup / restore question

[Randy Katz]

Hi,

I have a working bacula system with rotation of (full/diff/incr).
If I want to retain one of the full backups indefinitely I know where
the file is (archived to disk and each job goes into a separate file).
I can copy that file somewhere and hold onto it but in the even of
needing to restore from it, how would that be accomplished?

Is there a way to:

a) Copy the file to a different Director
b) Access the file for restores

And if the Directory database is needed as well how would this
be accomplished.

If this has already been discussed enough please point me to the
archives.

Thanks,
Randy Katz

[Bacula-users] Multiple Backups - Remote/Local Question

[Randy Katz]

Hello Esteemed Bacula People!

I have backups on a 90-120 day cycles with full/diff/incr from a pool of 
machines to
a Director machine. The pool of machines also has a local script backup 
to secondary
hard drive space which I would like to "convert" to bacula backups 
instead, so each
Client Machine would now become a Director with one Client (itself) and 
have a backup
schedule and so forth.

Has anyone done this and familiar with any gotchas, if any?

Thank you in advance,
Randy

On second thought I don't think my answer about console is the case 
here. I searched for mod Job not run and did not see anything that 
pertains, perahaps
some configuration issue, please post configs. If anyone has run into 
this please comment.

Hi, are you sure it is not a keyboard/console issue? Are you on the 
console or using a remote client (ssh?) to
get to the director server? If you are using remote try using Putty, I 
use it all the time with bconsole and it
works great. If not make sure your console settings are good, also if 
there is a job running at the same time
make sure that it is not causing a pause. Check /var/bacula/working/log 
for clues as well.

Regards,
Randy

Re: [Bacula-users] Pool per client

[Randy Katz]

On 4/12/2011 4:04 PM, Pablo Marques wrote:

I have a setup to backup lots of clients over slow links.
I want to have each client (or group of clients) backed up to 
dedicated client pools, so client1 will go to pool client1, and so on.
That way I have better control of the space used, if a client goes 
away I can simply delete the tapes (or files) an get the space back 
immediately.

Also it gives me better control on the retention on a per client basis.

The problem is that when I try to backup multiple clients at the same 
time, the storage process has to wait for each job to finish before it 
can move to the next because it needs to change the tape (different 
client --> different pool). Some clients may take many hours to 
finish, forcing everybody else to wait.


I enabled spooling, but it seems like Bacula requires to mount a tape 
from the client pool on a drive before the client spooling can begin.

Can this be avoided?

A possible solution would be to do all backups on a special pool and 
after they are done migrate later each client job to each client pool.
But I cannot find a way to modify  the "Next Pool" dynamically. It is 
a fixed setting on the Pool definition.


Does anybody have suggestions on how to accomplish this?

Look into Maximum Concurrent Jobs in your Storage definition.

Randy

[Bacula-users] Bacula Changes Lives

[Randy Katz]

Though still mortal I sense a great change since meeting...Bacula!

My favorite Bacula quote:

"In order to create an effective backup schedule of Full then 
Incremental/Differential backups for x time (days) the first Full backup 
must be retained until the last Incremental/Differential before the next 
Full has expired and been purged as well as that next Full been 
successfully created." - me

Regards all,
Randy

PS - One might wish to retain the first (and other) Full for more time 
for various reasons.

List please disregard my last questions on this, I don't know what I was 
thinking. The first full cannot
expire until all pertinent (between the date of the First Full and the 
next Full) Incrementals and/or Differentials
have expired otherwise it renders them virtually useless.

Randy

Well since I asked the question I have scripted a Pools.conf creation 
script for Full, Diff, and Incr for each Client to backup,
removed the Pools from bacula-dir.conf and added an Include 
(@/etc/bacula/conf.d/pools.conf). It didn't take very long and
if anything needs to change is trivial to reconfigure now. As for 
retaining a Full backup for so long, why is it so necessary if
I have a Full being created every month with a 3 Volume Retention and a 
Time of 60d then there should never be a time when
there is no Full before Diff/Incr's, right? If I wanted a 180 day cycle 
then would want to extend that to the incrementals and
diffs as well, right?

Alan, thank you for that answer and please excuse my questions:

1. Do you have a different expire time (60d) for your Full then your 
Incrementals or does it matter?
2. Which parameter are you referring to?
 a. Full Expiration - Is it File Retention or Job Retention or both?
 b. Expire Media - What parameter are you referring to?

[Bacula-users] Scheduling Question

[Randy Katz]

Hi,

Now that I have used Bacula a full cycle (60 days) I have a question:

If backups are done Full (which expires after 60 days).
Then Diff each week and Incre each day where there is no Diff
Then restoring from any given date going back 60 days is not a problem
UNTIL the initial Full is replaced/overwritten. At that point all the 
Diffs and Incre
up to the next Full cannot be restored (as far as I can see anyways) and 
that makes
logical sense as there is no base to base the selection on. So how would 
I retain the initial
Full until the next Full (let's say first Sunday 2 months later) cycles 
back so not to
obviate all the Diff/Incre between?

If I am asking the question upside down please correct me. And please 
bear with if
the answer is glaringly obvious! I reread this a few times and what I 
really want is:

1st of month 1 Full
Diff each Sunday after
Incre each day other then Sunday
1st of month 3 Full
Expire the Initial Full when the 2nd one has no more increments (Diff/Incre)
before it.

Not sure how to translate to the schedule/expire times though.

Thanks in advance,
Randy

Please post the message when it needs to do a full backup again. Also, 
if anything changed in your fileset
spec it will always do a full backup, that is the way it works, so if 
you know you changed something, stop there,
and next time it should do an incremental. You can manually remove the 
first Full if you need disk space.

Re: [Bacula-users] DebianSqueeze Installation Issue

[Randy Katz]

On 2/28/2011 12:17 AM, Dene Stringfellow wrote:
I am wondering if anyone could provide some assistance. I have just 
upgraded Debian Lenny to Squeeze on my server and decided to try 
Bacula to set up a disk-to-disk (initial full backup) daily 
incremental backup using two (NTFS formatted) external drives rotated 
on a weekly basis, so one disk is held off-site while the other is in 
use. I'm not trying to back up clients at this point.


I ran the following command to install Bacula:

apt-get install bacula

The installation appeared to be successful although I did notice 
during the installation process that SQLite appeared to be being 
installed - surprising since I have an active MySQL server installation.


When I then went into the Webmin Bacula module in an attempt to start 
configuring a backup I was presented with the following error:


Failed to connect to the Bacula database : Failed to load the database 
DBI driver SQLite at ./bacula-backup-lib.pl line 44. Maybe it is not 
set up, or the module configuration is incorrect.


... so I checked Module Config and tried changing the path to the 
database to:


/var/lib/bacula/bacula.db

... but that didn't work either.

I checked online to see if anyone else had had a similar problem and 
came across a post that recommended checking to see that the (DBI or 
DBD) perl driver for mysql was installed. I checked and have the 
following related perl modules installed:


libdb-file-lock-perl 0.05-3
libdbd-mysql-perl 4.016-1
libdbi-perl 1.612-1

Next I tried changing the database server to MySQL under Module Config 
but that didn't work either as I get the following error:


Failed to connect to the Bacula database : Failed to login to the 
database /var/lib/bacula/bacula.db : Access denied for user 
'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO). Maybe it is not set up, or 
the module configuration is incorrect.


I realise that the path to the database may now be incorrect as it is 
the path to the SQLite database file.


I then tried changing the path to the database to:

/var/lib/mysql

but got a similar error:

Failed to connect to the Bacula database : Failed to login to the 
database /var/lib/mysql : Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' 
(using password: NO). Maybe it is not set up, or the module 
configuration is incorrect.


I then checked the Users and can see that a user called bacula has 
been created (primary group = bacula; secondary groups = tape).


Then I checked MySQL Database Server (via Webmin) and can see that 
there is no bacula database present and there is no bacula user listed 
under User Permissions.


Any pointers as to what to do to try and get bacula configured and 
started so I can get a backup up and running would be appreciated.

I understand your issue and had a similar one, what you should do is:

Make sure MySQL server daemon is up and running (if you will use MySQL, 
if not use postgresql).

mysqladmin create bacula (of course you will need privileges to do this)
then /etc/bacula/make_bacula_tables
in /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf
make sure your line (search for dbname) is correct:

dbname = "bacula"; dbuser = "root"; dbpassword = "correct pass for root"

if you want to use the dbuser bacula make sure you have created it in 
MySQL and used
the GRANT statement to give it permissions and updated the password for 
the bacula database.


That should do it for you.

Randy

[Bacula-users] Automated Disk Backup Question - I still don't understand!

[Randy Katz]

Hi,

This is bacula 5.0.3:

I have Pools set to the following:

Pool {
   Name = workstation1
   Use Volume Once = yes
   Pool Type = Backup
   LabelFormat = "workstation1-"
   AutoPrune = yes
   Volume Retention = 60d
   Maximum Volumes = 60
   Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
   Recycle = yes
}

I now have an intervention message that says:

25-Feb 12:53 workstation1-sd JobId 553: Job 
Backup-Client-workstation1.2011-02-24_05.53.25_04 is waiting. Cannot find any 
appendable volumes.
Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:
 Storage:  "DeviceName-workstation1" (/disk1/bacula)
 Pool: workstation1
 Media type:   MediaType-workstation1

I look and there are indeed 60 Volumes, I had assumed they would begin to 
recycle but not sure
what that means at this point and have seen various discussions that are not 
clear to me. My questions
are:

1. What would I need to do to get this backup to "work/backup"?
2. What could I do so that in the future when 60 Volumes is reached Volumes and 
Disk
Space start to "recycle"?

Thank you in advance,
Randy

Hi again,

Try one Director and have it back up all your Clients, and see how it 
goes. Yes you need
the open port and the special password, later if you want you can use an 
encrypted key if
you are concerned about that level of security.

Hello Canary!

The best way to do it is to dump the mysql database periodically (I do 
it nightly) and
let the scheduled backups pick up the dump (put it in a directory that 
gets backed up).
This way you don't need to interrupt anything and the database is 
portable to different
versions should you need to restore from a crashed system (and the 
current version is
upgraded). I also do this with the bacula database on the Director even 
though it gets
backed up by bacula, like this:

30 0 * * * /usr/bin/mysqldump bacula > 
/usr/src/scripts/bacula.dump.mysql > /dev/null 2>&1

Of course you need to add the appropriate entries in ~/.my.cnf, mine 
looks like this:

# more .my.cnf
[client]
user = root
password = SsEeCcRrEeTtPw
host = localhost

[mysql]
database = mysql

Regards,
Randy

Yeah, I think if rsync could do this a lot of us would not be here:

Byte pattern differentials reduce CPU, disk and network utilization

I wonder what other "Client" backup software with this feature exists 
out there?
The license for CrashPlan Pro starts at a 5 pack.

Thanks Craig, fyi rsync backs up complete files that have changed, not 
portions of files, to the best of my knowledge.

Hi,

This is clearly off topic so flame away if need be!

Since I have come to know many on this list are quite savvy how are you
all backing up your personal workstations? The ones that have 2-5GB data
and are not at the same location as your servers and are not on public ip
space for one reason or another. Currently I have been using a client 
software
I am not sure I like to do full/diffs to a user account on one of my main
servers which gets backed up in the cycle. I am not sure this is the 
best I can
do, any feedback much appreciated, thanks.

[Bacula-users] Backing up VMWare ESXi / vSphere Hypervisor

[Randy Katz]

Hi,

I have a client who seems to want to build a cloud. Just curious if 
anyone has installed and setup backups for
the VMWare ESXi or vSphere Hypervisor (same product different name as 
far as I read) for Bacula. Understanding
this software does not sit on an O/S but is an O/S itself not sure how 
it would be approached or whether individual
VM's/Machines would be backed up in this scenario. PS - I am already 
familiar with Xen and OpenVZ installations
so referencing them in the answer would be great.

Thank you in advance,
Randy Katz

Thank you, and I understand your point, one can only hope that a program 
like Bacula uses only basic
SQL and database specific features, however, there are always those 
special cases you want to check up and
look out for, like a keyword being introduced and so forth. Glad to hear 
you are not experiencing any problems
at this time.

Randy

Oh, I assumed all the debian based users were compiling from source. I 
am sure anyone new to bacula would want
to run the latest version. At any rate easy enough to compile from 
source, right? Not sure about gui and library support
though, I am sure someone can comment further, also ubuntu is 
essentially debian, right?

I see that server support has been pulled from the installer. I have

with 5.0.3 binaries for storage and director services? I saw something 
about cross compiling but I don't currently have a linux configuration 
in which to do this. Are the installerless binaries available anywhere 
for manual configuration or am I stuck with 3.0.1 forever?


Has the storage and director code taken a step backwards with regard 
to the windows platform or was their removal done simply to remove a 
pain point for users and thus reduce support related inquiries?


Finally, I assume that if I stay with 3.0.1 on the server, I can 
upgrade clients to 5.0.3, correct? I'm crossing my fingers that the 
client "status" window will be a little more informative than just a 
big blank window like it is in 3.0.1. :)



If you do not want to port and make a compilation of 5.0.3 on Windows it 
might be a good time for you
to install VirtualBox http://www.virtualbox.org/ , create a virtual 
machine, and install a linux distro you
like (debian is widely used by the bacula people, I use CentOS some 
libraries are a problem when it comes to
gui stuff but the base install (fd,sd,dir,bconsole) work well), 
compile/install bacula and when you are comfortable

with it deploy a Linux machine.

Dan, looks pretty good. I do not have tape yet, just disk and MySQL, if

Hi, make sure w14219-PC is pingable and/or change to FQDN (fully

Also if that is not the issue check firewalls at router and any other 
intermediary devices, but this looks like

it is not reaching the ip address, true?

My initial thoughts are:

a. Compile and Install Bacula from scratch with same configure options.
b. Copy the Volume Data to new machine.
c. Perhaps copy log info from /var/bacula
d. Dump Database on old machine, migrate dump to new machine, 
reinitialize database tables and import database.
e. Copy conf files from /etc/bacula from old to new machine.
f. Do dns update for Director FQDN
g. Test

In this case I am assuming the machine name for Director will be the 
same, the locations of files on Disk will be the same directory
names.

Is there something obvious I am missing? Should this work?

Thank you in advance,
Randy

[Bacula-users] How To Move / Migrate A Bacula Director - please

[Randy Katz]

I am happy to present this case to the list at this point in time!

My director does not have the correct disk capacities and must be moved 
to a new physical
machine in order to be able to complete the cycle(s) at hand. The 
Storage Devices are all
disk based.

What would be the best procedure/practice to move the Director to a new 
physical machine,
assuming the new machine is setup and ready to go and has a new ip address?

Your comments welcome, thanks!

I set it to onefs=yes and it is backing it up now and not twice. I am 
happy.

John, thanks, but this was already addressed to the list, using the 
onefs option to yes takes care of
the issue, and no, there is no other target drive other then "C:".
