If you are using rsync then the mtime will be set to that of the
original file but the ctime will be the time when rsync copied the file.

Bacula normally looks at both mtime and ctime to determine if a file
has changed.  There is a parameter in Bacula to change this behaviour

- mtimeonly= If enabled, tells the Client that the selection of
- files during Incremental and Differential backups should based only
- on the st_mtime value in the stat() packet. The default is no which
- means that the selection of files to be backed up will be based on
- both the st_mtime and the st_ctime values. In general, it is not
- recommended to use this option.

Note the caveat at the end of the description.

Hello Gina,

Your paths are different.  Your configuration file has /usr/sbin/bsmtp
but your test command has /opt/bacula/bin/bsmtp

I think you need to change the path in your configuration file (two
places)

[Bacula-users] Wich wildcard chars allowed

[Richard Couture]

I am getting ready to implement wilddir on my includes and excludes and 
am wondering which wild card characters are allowed without using the 
regex option. I see that the '*' is allowed, but after searching the 
docs and the Web I can find no mention of which other chars, if any, are 
also allowed.


Is the '?' char allowed? is there a way of specifying a 
character/numeric range without the regex option? I want to write 
/var/spool/samba/netdrive/ASA/*/2010-2019 (2010-2019 are directory 
names, not file names)


Is it dependent on the OS? I use GNU with the Linux kernel.

I am using Bacula 9.6.7

My Regex skills are rather limited and I prefer to avoid that nightmare 
if possible.


Thanks


Richard

[Bacula-users] Wild card expansion

[Richard Couture]

Greetings and happy 2022 to all

In my filesets.conf I have a bunch of includes and excludes like

File = "/var/spool/samba/netdrive/ASA/Ventas/Curriculum/2012"

File = "/var/spool/samba/netdrive/ASA/Ventas/Competencia/2014"
File = "/var/spool/samba/netdrive/ASA/Ventas/Competencia/2015"

Can I write
File = "/var/spool/samba/netdrive/ASA/Ventas/Curriculum/201[234]
File = "/var/spool/samba/netdrive/ASA/Ventas/Competencia/201[2345]

or some such

Also in the includes can I write

File = "/var/spool/samba/netdrive/home/*/Historical
instead of listing each and every one??

Thanks

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula-fd version

[Richard Couture]

The client bacula-fd is version 7.4.3 (18 June 2016)

and the director and storage daemons are
version 9.6.7 (10 December 2020)

Is that too great a version disparity?

Thanks

How much older is "much older"?

Bacula directors and storage daemons should always be the same version. 
  Clients (file daemons) can be older *within reason*, but you may run 
into problems if the client is *too* old.


Is there a reason why that one client cannot be updated?

[Bacula-users] Barcodes with Bacula 9.6.7

[Richard Couture]

Greetings

I am upgrading (reinstalling) a bacula server configured in 2016 which 
has been working great all this time, until the machine died...


I replaced the backup unit with a Quantum Scalar I3 with a 50 LTO-8 tape 
capacity magazine


I have beaten the mtx-changer into submission and it now works 
consistently with the bacula 9.6.7 which came with my distro of GNU Linux


It appears that this version of bacula uses a very different paradigm...

I have never used Scratch or barcodes before. I used to label my tapes 
manually with a script that I wrote and put them in different pools 
which were called MondayPool and TeusdayPool ...


I have told bconsole to "label barcodes" and place the volumes in Scratch

I need to do the same backup job Mon-Fri and a different job for Sat and 
yet another job for Sun


Does that mean that I create a WeekdayPool and a SatPool and a SunPool???

How do I get bacula to use the tapes in scratch properly to accomplish this.

Thanks



Richard

[Bacula-users] Connect to Director Schedule Not Working

[Richard Laysell]

Hello,

I am using the Connect To Director feature to backup a system behind a
NAT.  This system has only intermittent connectivity to the backup
server so I am using a schedule to connect only at certain times.  The
backups are working fine but the connection schedule does not seem to
be working.

Here is my bacula-fd on the client system

Director {
  Name = backupserver-dir
  Password = "notmyrealpassword"
  Address = backupserver
  Connect To Director = yes
  Schedule = BackupHours
}

FileDaemon {
  Name = client-fd
  FDAddress = client
  FDPort = 9102
  WorkingDirectory = /var/bacula
  Pid Directory = /var/run
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
}

Schedule {
  Name = BackupHours
  Connect = MaxConnectTime=1h on thu at 09:45
}

>From what I understand, this connection schedule means that this client
should try to connect to the director between 09:45 and 10:45 on
Thursdays.

However, I am seeing errors from the client that it is not able to
connect to the directory outside of those hours

Nov 25 13:24:52 client bacula-fd: bsockcore.c:266 Unable to connect to
Director daemon on backupserver:9101. ERR=Interrupted system call

Have I misunderstood this schedule or is my configuration wrong?

Richard

[Bacula-users] mtx-changer problem

[Richard Couture]

Greetings

I am upgrading (reinstalling) a bacula server configured in 2016 which 
has been working great all this time, until the machine died...


It appears that the new version of bacula uses a very different paradigm...

Am I correct in interpreting the manual to mean that all tapes with a 
barcode will be labeled and assigned to a scratch pool, from which tapes 
will be retrieved at the time of backup and reassigned to their 
appropriate pool, in my case either a Monday pool and a Tuesday pool ... 
through a Sunday pool???


Now for the problem that I am encountering.

I have a quantum Scalar i3 tape changer with an IBM HH08 LTO-8 drive

The tape drive is either /dev/st0 or /dev/nst0 depending on if I want to 
append and the robot is /dev/sg2


The only way that I can get mtx-changer to work, is to issue an
mt -f /dev/st0 offline directive before any

  ./mtx-changer /dev/sg2 {load/unload... Command} $Slot /dev/nst0 0

which takes a great deal of time as the offline command takes more than 
30 secs to complete. The GREATER problem is when I issue a


  label barcodes command

from bconsole which then issues the appropriate mtx-changer commands, 
WITHOUT the offline prior to each command, resulting in one tape being 
labeled correctly and 47 error messages similar to



Label command failed for Volume 04L8.


Sending label command for Volume "05L8" Slot 5 ...

3307 Issuing autochanger "unload Volume 02L8, Slot 2, Drive 0" command.

3995 Bad autochanger "unload Volume 02L8, Slot 2, Drive 0": 
ERR=Child exited with code 1


Results=Unloading drive 0 into Storage Element 2...mtx: Request Sense: 
Long Report=yes


mtx: Request Sense: Valid Residual=no

mtx: Request Sense: Error Code=70 (Current)

mtx: Request Sense: Sense Key=Illegal Request

mtx: Request Sense: Error in CDB=no

mtx: Request Sense: SKSV=yes

mtx: Request Sense: Field Pointer = 00 00

MOVE MEDIUM from Element Address 256 to 4097 Failed



Can anyone give me a hint as to how to get around this. I can label each 
tape manually using the commands with judicious use of the offline 
command, which is NO solution but an indication that I am using the 
correct mtx-changer command syntax


Thanks


Richard

[Bacula-users] Running Copy Job Immediately After Disk Backups

[Richard Laysell]

Hello,

I would like to run a copy job immediately after a set of disk backups
has completed, but this seems to not work as I expect.

I am scheduling the jobs as follows

Client1 - Disk backup - Priority 10
Client2 - Disk backup - Priority 10
Client3 - Disk backup - Priority 10
Client4 - Disk backup - Priority 10
Client5 - Disk backup - Priority 10
and so on for other clients
All of these jobs will run in parallel (up to the concurrency limit)

Copy Job - Disk to Tape - Priority 20 - Pool Uncopied Jobs.
This job should backup all of the just completed disk backups to a tape
which goes offsite.  This gives both onsite and offsite copies.

When I try to implement this, the disk backups all complete
successfully, but the copy job does not copy anything to tape.  After
analysing this I think it is because the copy job looks for jobs to
copy as soon as it starts.  This means that if it is started at the
same time or while any of the disk jobs are running it will copy only
the completed ones even thought it does not actually run until all of
the disk backups have completed (because it has a lower priority)

I could schedule the copy job to start an hour after I expect the
latest disk backup to finish but this means that the backups do not
complete as early as possible.

Is it possible to do one of the following:
1. Delay the selection of jobs for the copy job until it actually runs
   rather than do the selection when it initially starts
2. Have a job (priority 20) which starts the copy job.  This would then
   start the copy job only when all of the disk backups are complete.
3. Something else that I have not thought of which fixes this issue.

Regards,

Richard

With rhel-7, bacula (as with most other) daemons are handled through
systemctl, not init.d scripts. You didn't indicate what version of
bacula you have installed, where you got it from or how you installed
it, but I would assume that the necessary systemctl service files
were likely included and installed. You can use systemctl commands to
check for that.

Re: [Bacula-users] How to LTO-8

[Richard Couture]

The SAS controller was working with an IBM library with LTO-4 with 
another computer running bacula 5.xxx. When the IBM died we decided that 
it was time to upgrade rather than repair as the LTO-4 was no longer 
large enough to backup everything. We never really looked into whether 
it was the HBA or the library of both...


I noted when connecting the new library to the HBA that it hung at boot 
for 3 - 5 minutes before continuing, which gave me pause, but it finally 
continued without displaying any error. I reset the HBA to factory as 
well as changing many settings like not trying to boot and with each 
change the HBA hung at boot for a LONG time, so I am somewhat suspicious 
of the HBA.

I found another person with the very same symptoms and they resolved the

Wow that's weird that a SAS controller would be to blame!  My library
and drive are HP and they supply "HP Tape Tools" which you can use to
run tests on the library (and drive) to see if they are working
properly.  Are there any vendor diagnostics for your library that you
could run to confirm it is working correctly?

It seems a bit odd it would be the SAS controller if it worked before
upgrading to the latest Bacula version.  Perhaps it's an issue with a
kernel driver, assuming you upgraded the whole OS at the same time?


I Note that both my bacula-dir and my bacula-sd conf files have a
Storage section, with a Device section only in bacula-sd.

Is this correct or should the Storage and Device be in one or the other
confs? If they or one or the other sections should  be in both confs,
should they be identical???


This is correct.  The entries in bacula-dir tell it to connect to
the bacula-sd daemon, and the entries in bacula-sd tell it which
hardware device to use.  This is because you can have multiple
bacula-sd instances on different machines, so the Director needs to
know which device is controlled by which machine.

You should have both the autochanger and the drive listed in both
config files, however the one listed in bacula-dir.conf will be much
shorter as it won't have any of the configuration, basically just the
password for the bacula-sd daemon.

I am not sure whether it is necessary to list both the drive and the
autochanger (from your config files it looks like you only include the
autochanger and not the drive) but since Bacula is calling the
mtx-changer script it would seem to be fine the way you have it now.

In case it's helpful, here are the full Storage sections from my own
bacula-dir.conf:

   Autochanger {
 Name = peapod-x
 Address = localhost
 SDPort = 9103
 Password = "xxx"
 Device = peapod-x
 Media Type = LTO-4
 Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
   }

   Storage {
 Name = peapod-d1
 Address = localhost
 SDPort = 9103
 Password = "xxx"
 Device = peapod-d1
 Media Type = LTO-4
 Autochanger = peapod-x
 Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
   }

Your Storage section with "Autochanger = yes" is equivalent to the
Autochanger section, this is just a newer way of writing it that
works with recent Bacula versions.  (Definitely 9.x, not sure
about 7.x though.)

Cheers,
Adam.

So I wondering does the library either not show drives or is there an issue 
with the library seeing the tape drive.

I would investigate and make sure that the drive and library are connected 
properly.

The output of "lsscsi -g" does who the tape drive?

The mtx-changer script supports  this feature.  You need to change the

# Set to 1 if you want to do offline before unload
offline=0

In the example from below

mtx -f /dev/sg3 load 1 0
mtx -f /dev/sg3 unload 1 0

add a command to unload the tape from the drive between the two lines

mt  -f  offline

Then, in my opinion, the problem is somewhere outside of Bacula.
My best guess is that either your library and your version of mtx are 
incompatible or your library is broken (e.g. faulty firmware).

Re: [Bacula-users] How to LTO-8

[Richard Couture]

I found another person with the very same symptoms and they resolved the 
problem by changing out the SAS host adapter


I Note that both my bacula-dir and my bacula-sd conf files have a 
Storage section, with a Device section only in bacula-sd.


Is this correct or should the Storage and Device be in one or the other 
confs? If they or one or the other sections should  be in both confs, 
should they be identical???

As mentioned earlier, the command

./mtx-changer /dev/sg3 load 1 /dev/st0 0

actually put the desired tape into the drive, however

./mtx-changer /dev/sg3 unload 1 /dev/st0 0

returns the following error message


This to me looks like the mtx-changer script is not able to talk to
your autochanger properly.  I had to modify the script to work with my
autochanger, and this is appears to be by design (the mtx-changer
script supplied is a default that you are meant to customise for your
hardware) so I guess modifying this script is the next step.

If the script was present and working with your old Bacula set up, that
might be a good place to start looking to see what has changed.


̣root@LTOMag scripts]# ./mtx-changer /dev/sg3 unload 1 /dev/st0 0
Unloading drive 0 into Storage Element 1...
mtx: Request Sense: Sense Key=Illegal Request
MOVE MEDIUM from Element Address 256 to 4096 Failed


I don't know much about low level autochanger commands, but it seems
odd that telling the autochanger to put the tape in slot 1 results in a
command asking it to put the tape in "element 4096", which the
autochanger says is an illegal request.  Maybe that's normal but it
seems a bit weird.

I would start by modifying mtx-changer to output the commands it's
trying to run, and then running those commands manually, tweaking them
until you figure out how they are supposed to work, and then applying
those changes back to mtx-changer.

This is assuming nobody else has posted a working mtx-changer script
for your autochanger already of course!


I split my bacula-dir into components so here are the relevant ones


Everything else here looks like it should be fine.  Once you get
mtx-changer working properly I think everything else should be fine.

Cheers,
Adam.

This seems to suggest that the Director is configured to use a device
called "LTO-6".  Care to post the bacula-dir.conf?  I know you said
there's no mention of "LTO-6" here, but perhaps you need to mention the
storage device specifically?  With your config names, my bacula-dir.conf
would say this:

   JobDefs {
 Name = "DefaultJob"
 Type = Backup
 Storage = Autochanger
 ...

This would tell Bacula to try to write to "Autochanger" rather than
"LTO-6".


Connecting to Storage daemon LTO-6 at ltomag.asaambiental.mx:9103 ...
3999 Device "LTO-6" not found or could not be opened.


This would make sense because your Storage device is called "LTO-8" so
it can't find one called "LTO-6".

In my opinion I'd rename your device to use something other than
"LTO-8" otherwise you can't tell whether it's referring to the device
or the media format:

   Autochanger {
 Device = ltomag-drive
 ...
   }

   Device {
 Name = ltomag-drive
 Drive Index = 0
 Media Type = LTO-7
 ...

Here, you will know "ltomag-drive" means the Device section, while
"LTO-*" means a media type.


How can I get bacula to acknowledge the LTO-8 drive with the LTO-7
tapes???


This should all be automatic.  In my own setup I'm using an LTO-5
autochanger with LTO-4 tapes, and it works fine.  I don't think Bacula
actually checks the LTO media, I suspect it just uses the "Media Type"
you've specified in the "Device" config.  In my above example I wrote
"LTO-7", but think this just marks any media that passes through the
drive as LTO-7, regardless of what it actually is.

I don't think this will cause any problems unless you actually have a
single Bacula setup that uses multiple tape types at the same time,
and it needs to look at the Media Type in order to decide which drive
to load the tape into.

Cheers,
Adam.

when in fact I have a Quantum scalar i3 with LTO-8 drive using brand new

I Blew the bacula DB away and assured that NONE of the bacula config 
files in the /etc/bacula tree had any mention of LTO-6 anywhere before 
recreating the DB using the /usr/libexec/bacula/make_mysql_tables command

How can I get bacula to acknowledge the LTO-8 drive with the LTO-7 tapes???

Re: [Bacula-users] Labeling LTO-7 (6 GB) tapes as LTO-M8 (9 GB)?

Hello Andreas,

This document seems to suggest that they can be formatted only in tape
libraries and not in standalone drives.  However, I'm not sure if that
applies only to HP drives/libraries.

<https://h20195.www2.hpe.com/V2/getpdf.aspx/A00039948ENW.pdf?>

Question: 
Can I initialize Type M media in a standalone drive?

Answer: 
No, HPE does not initialize Type M media in standalone drives. LTO-7
Type M cartridges must be initialized in a library that supports LTO-7
Type M. The library makes the decision on the type of cartridge based
upon the cartridge bar code – if the last two characters are “M8” it
will be initialized as Type M, otherwise it will be initialized as a
normal LTO-7 cartridge

Regards,

Richard

The bacula command "status client" will display a list of your
configured clients. You can then select the number for the one you
are interested in (e.g., the currently running one) and enter that
for more detail. You can also do this as a one-line command if you
know the client's name.

The detail will show the number of files backed up, storage used,
etc. I don't believe that bacula estimates the time left, but that's
not that hard to estimate if you've run jobs against that same client
previously.

My apologies, I had sent the message from the wrong address and
cancelled moderation on it. I was hoping nobody would notice.

My original message asked if this discussion was in regard to the
"Maximum block size" (and presumably "Minimum block size") from the
device resource.

"Are you both referring to "Maximum block size" (and presumably "Minimum block 
size") from the
Device resource?
If not please ignore the rest of this message. Otherwise, this advice is a 
little contradictory
to the documentation which states "On most modern tape drives, you will not 
need to specify this
directive.".
More importantly however, the documentation (for Bacula 7.2 anyways) says: "The 
maximum
size-in-bytes possible is 2,000,000." which contradicts the assertion that 
these can be specified
as 2MB which is not the same thing. Is the documentation inaccurate on
this subject?"

You need to be mysql/mariadb or system root to do that (or at least
identified as a user with "grant" privileges). Also, you don't appear
to have a database selected, hence the '[(none)]' on the prompt.
Note, the initial tables that you need to effect are mysql.user and
mysql.db. Look at the records for the bacula@% entries for templates
of what is needed. I would probably [mysql]dump the records from the
various mysql db tables, change the '%' to 'localhost' on the bacula
user ones, remove the other records (and create statements, if you
included them) and then load the resulting ones in.

What you have for privileges is what I would expect. My
"grant_mysql_privileges" script has two lines - the first will do the
"localhost" setup for the bacula user. Assuming that your script is
lacking that, you might want to add it and try rerunning the script.

 grant all privileges on ${db_name}.* to ${db_user}@localhost ${pass};
 grant all privileges on ${db_name}.* to ${db_user}@"%" ${pass};

To see if that last line is accurate or not (and whether that error
is spurious), as root (either system or mysql), at the "MariaDB
[(none)]>" prompt:

   use mysql;
   select * from user where User='bacula' \G
 
[note, end that command with an uppercase "\G", that will display
the output in a list, rather than a table.]

and:

   select * from db where User='bacula' \G

The first should show two records - both for User "bacula", but one
for Host "%" and one for "localhost" -- with (most) everything set to
"N". 

The second should also show two records, same Host and User values
and Db "bacula", but with everything (except the "Grant" privilege)
set to "Y".

When you ran the "grant_mysql_privileges" script did it give a
multi-column display of settings, with something like "Privileges for
user ..." at the bottom? If so, could you confirm the user/db
information on that line (you can rerun the script without having to
take any other actions). If not, what type of output (if any) did you
get?

Now, as system root:

   mysql bacula

and once at the "MariaDB [bacula]>" prompt:
  
   show tables;

If it shows a list of the ~25+ tables (likely ending with "Version"),
then exit mysql/mariadb and (still as system root) run the
"grant_mysql_privileges" script that's in your /usr/libexec/bacula/
directory.

After doing that, then as a normal (non-root) system user, do:

   mysql -u bacula 

   [i don't believe that a password is set, but you can look at the   
top of the grant script to confirm this.]

   show databases;

If it now shows the "bacula" database:

   use bacula; 

   show tables;

Ideally you'll see the same list of ~25 tables.

If that works, that should indicate that the obvious bacula table
creation/privileges issue(s) have been resolved, so you should try to
proceed with bacula (where this all started) and see what you get.

You may want to double check the "Catalog" section of your
bacula-dir.conf file (in /etc/bacula) to confirm that the db
credentials line shows:

  dbname = "bacula"; dbuser = "bacula"; dbpassword = ""

A slight follow-on. You should invoke mysql as mysql root (mysql -u
root -p [if the password isn't set pressing a CR will get you past
the password prompt]) or after su-ing to system root (and then don't
use the "-u root -p"). Once you have the "mysql>" prompt issue the
"show databases;" command. The output should include the "mysql"
database. If the "bacula" database is also listed that indicates that
it was set up but not permitted to the mysql "bacula" user. If it's
not there (but you see the "mysql" database) that's an indication
that your bacula database creation effort(s) failed.

I don't believe that this is a mysql/mariadb issue as they are
basically interchangeable. Rather, it appears that one or more of the
scripts for setting up the bacula db and tables for isn't getting run
[successfully]. 

Could you provide a list of the files in your /usr/libexec/bacula/
directory?

Looking back through all the messages in this thread, it appears that
you have two problems. One is that you can't connect to the director
daemon:

   bconsole: bsock.c:278-0 Could not connect to server Director
   daemon 192.168.1.36:9101. ERR=Connection refused

You likely need to fix the configuration in your bacula bconsole.conf
file.


The other is your db setup/access:

   Error 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to 
   database 'bacula' bacula-dir: dird.c:969-0 Could not open
   Catalog "MyCatalog", database "bacula"


The sequence that you have tried:

   > mysql mysql
   >> select * from user;

doesn't tell you much of anything related to bacula. The "mysql" db
and "user" table are part of the mysql basic setup so will always be
there if you have mysql/mariadb installed and configured.

What you need to test for bacula is the existence of the db "bacula"
and (access to the) tables within that.

Start with the command:

   mysql -h  -u bacula

[if you have changed the defaults in the "Catalog" section of your
bacula-dir.conf you will need to make the necessary adjustments to
the above.]

from the machine where you have the bacula-sd installed. If they are
all on the same (new) machine, then the "-h " part is
unnecessary.

This should get you the mysql herald and "mysql>" prompt. Assuming it
does, issue the command:

   show databases;

that should give you a list that includes "bacula". Assuming so, then:

   use bacula;
and:
   show tables;

Assuming no errors, the last command should give you a list of 20+
tables. Try issuing a:

   select * from ; 

for any of them [e.g., "Client" or "Job"). Given that you haven't
done any backups yet they should be empty, but being able to read a
table goes somewhat to the access issue. You should also try
inserting a (minimal) record into one of the tables to see if you
have write access. You'll want to delete it if successful.

If any of this fails, try:

   use mysql;
   select * from user where User="bacula";

and let us know what gets returned.

Based on the results we can suggest further actions.

There are scripts for setting up the mysql tables and permissions for
bacula. I believe that these are generally found in the
/etc/bacula/setup directory. Did you run these, or do the setup
manually (or none of the above)?

You should double check that you don't have 127.0.0.1 or localhost
specified anywhere in your configurations. About the only way you are
going to get netstat output like:

tcp 0 0 127.0.1.1:9101  0.0.0.0:*  LISTEN  6591/bacula-dir
tcp 0 0 127.0.1.1:9102  0.0.0.0:*  LISTEN  1886/bacula-fd
tcp 0 0 127.0.1.1:9103  0.0.0.0:*  LISTEN  1865/bacula-sd

is if you are specifying the localhost name or ipnumber.

Also, that "xxAddress" line is optional and, as the documentation
indicates, it should bind to all addresses if nothing is specified.
Try dropping that line.


[by the way, could you please reply with context. it is very hard to
reply to your messages from the mailing list side when they don't

Are you specifying an IPnumber on the "address" directives? E.g.,

   SDAddresses = { ip = {
  addr = 127.0.0.1; port = 9103; }
  }


If so, and you're using "127.0.0.1", then it will only listen in the
internal interface, not the external, which is what your netstat is
showing. I believe that there are options for this for all the
daemons.


from the current documentation:

SDAddress =  This directive is optional, and if it is
specified, it will cause the Storage daemon server (for Director and
File daemon connections) to bind to the specified IP-Address, which
is either a domain name or an IP address specified as a dotted
quadruple. If this directive is not specified, the Storage daemon
will bind to any available address (the default).

A "connection refused" response to a telnet generally means that the
target machine isn't listening on the port you tried. Use netstat to
make certain that the daemon is listening on the external interface
for the port(s) you are trying. If you reach a listening daemon, but
there are access control issues, you'll likely get a different
response.

I think that your iptables output policies are a part of your
problem. A machine's output policy constrains what ports the source
side can go out from. With bacula you are going *to* ports 9101-03,
but *from* an arbitrary (high numbered) port. So, while you may want
to constrain that ports you accept inbound (input) connections on,
you generally leave the outbound (output) totally open. In your case,
you appear to be constraining your outbound ports to 9101 and 03 on
your server and 9102 on the client. That, in fact, means that you
very likely aren't getting out at all.

Remove those outbound constraints from iptables and things should
improve. I think you still have other issues, but you should be able
to telnet to the 9101-03 ports (as appropriate) and get at least a
"connection refused" response from the remote host.

When you try to telnet from the backup server to port 9102 on the
client machine what type of response do you get? 

If you get a network "hang", then the issue is most likely a
firewall. If the machine is on the same network segment the  firewall
is probably on the target machine. If the machine is on a different
network segment the firewall could be at any router between the two
machines (but I'd start with the target machine). If you reach the
machine but it's not listening on 9102 you'll probably get a
"connection refused" response. You might also get a connection that
opens and then immediately closes, or some other permutation, which
generally indicates some type of configuration or access issue on the
target machine.

By the way, if the passwords you have been including in your
configuration outputs are the real ones, you should change them on
the machines in question, and be certain to not include them in your
posts ongoing.

[Bacula-users] Bacula and NFS

[Richard Robbins]

I am new to Bacula and would like to run the Bacula director on a CentOS 7
virtual machine with the FQDN of bacula.itinker.net and use a NAS device as
my storage repository.  For now, my NAS is a somewhat dated Netgear
ReadyNAS device that I'm going to replace with a new Synology box in the
not-too-distant future.

I've got Version 7.0.5 of the Bacula components runnning on the Centos
machine and can backup and restore to a local directory without
difficulty.  I'm struggling to get the NAS into the mix.

In my all local configuration I backup to /bacula/backup and restore to
/bacula/restore.

I had hoped that I could tweak the system so that I mount an NFS v3 share
at /bacula/backup.

The OS mounts the NFS share at that point and I'm able to read and write
files without difficulty but when I fire up Bacula the program hangs with
accompanying warning messages "Warning:  bsock.c:112 Could not connect to
Storage daemon on bacula.itinker.net:9103. ERR=Connection refused.

Since I'm able to read and write the NFS share outside of Bacula I'm
stumped as to what's getting the way when Bacula runs.

In a perfect world I suppose I'd run the director and SD on the NAS itself,
but I'm not up to attempting to build the current Bacula system on my older
NAS.  Maybe I should try to compile the storage daemon but not the director
on the NAS and then point the director on my VM to a daemon running on the
NAS.  But that too is more work than just mounting the NFS share as I am
doing at the moment.

Another approach would be to create an iSCSI target and pass that to my VM
as a virtual disc which would just be embedded in the virtual hardware
prior to system boot time, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.

Your thoughts and guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula and NFS

[Richard Robbins]

Thank you Devin.

What you say makes great sense.

Oddly, as soon as I switched to an iSCSI mount instead of an NFS mount
things worked.


Perhaps I configured the NFS mount incorrectly, but it worked just fine
outside of Bacula.

Aren't people over-complicating this? You need to think of this as a 
2-bit integer field, not as a bitmap. Then looking at the constants 
defined in fcntl.h, it becomes clear (to me, anyway!) that the code 
should be (sorry, I forget the exact context, but you'll see what I 
mean, I hope)

   (flags & O_ACCMODE) == O_RDONLY

(The Solaris box I am looking at defines

#define O_ACCMODE   3   /* Mask for file access modes */

while a nearby Linux system has

#define O_ACCMODE   0003
#define O_RDONLY    
#define O_WRONLY0001
#define O_RDWR  0002

)

Regards,
  Richard

 I am using tls for postfix but this should be no issue as I can
 run the above mailcommand from the command line and receive an

 Using bsmtp (Unable to send because I need to run through tls)
 will produce an erroneous entry in the maillog file.
 
 I am stumped on how to debug further to determine where the mail
 is being caught up at. It seems to have to be something on
 bacula's end.
 
 Any help would be appreciated.
 
 Hi Kelvin,
 
 I would first check to see what user that the bacula-dir daemon is
 running as:
 
# ps axuf | grep bacula-dir
 
 On some distributions, the director runs as user bacula, on
 others (like Gentoo) it runs as user root. The director does not
 need to run as root, but some distributions package Bacula so that
 it does.
 
 You are pointing mutt to a config file in the root user's home
 directory, perhaps mutt, running as bacula when called by the
 director simply can not read the config file and exits?
 
 
 Bill

From your slightly obscured configuration, I'm assuming that you're
trying to deliver the mail directly from bacula to your remote mail
server, not localhost, which is why you have the bsmtp/TLS issue. I
believe that if you use the default Bacula bsmtp setup to deliver to
localhost and then alias the recipient off (with an entry in
/etc/aliases) you should be ok. That approach will invoke the
(postfix) MTA -- which will handle TLS just fine. [and avoids the
issue of trying to configure a different mailer.] E.g.,

  mailcommand = /usr/sbin/bsmtp -h localhost -f ...

  mail = user@localhost = all, !skipped
  operator = user@localhost = mount

which is the default Bacula configuration and what I use on my
centos box.

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula splitting big jobs in to two

[Richard Fox]

Hi,

On Thu, 29 Jan 2015, Rao, Uthra R. (GSFC-672.0)[ADNET SYSTEMS INC] 
wrote:

 
 I run bacula 5.2.12 on a RHEL server which is attached to a Tape Library. I 
 have two LTO5 tape
 drives. Since the data on one of my server has grown big the back-up takes 
 10-12 days to
 complete. I would like to split this job in to two jobs. Has anybody done 
 this kind of a set-up?
 I need some guidance on how to go about it.

I did something like this with our backups, dividing them up in order to 
decrease the amount of time necessary for backups. At the time I conceived 
this system, we had about 56TB of data. For historic reasons our backups 
were made from NFS exports from a single central NAS fileserver, because 
it was proprietary, I couldn't directly access the fileserver any other 
way. (This has changed but I haven't made substantial changes to the 
procedure yet.)

I have two tape libraries for this each with two drives, and both support 
partitioning. I partitioned the two libraries so that from the computer's 
perspective I have 4 libraries.

Our filesystems are composed primarily of user directories and working 
group directories. I calculated the size of each of these directories and 
then used a basic bin-packing algorithm to subdivide them into four groups 
each being assigned to a parition. A preperation script is used to mount 
each directory as a separate NFS mount in its respective group 
directory. The groups were sized such that the ratio of the data to the 
capacity of a given library's partition were more or less the same for the 
four groups.

I created four pools, four jobs, for storage devices, etc., all to 
match up with the 4 library paritions and four groups, essentially 
creating 4 complete backup jobs.

When it's time to take new base backups, I repeat the calculation, 
bin-packing part and run the update the mount points to redistribute the 
data.

It did cut down the time required to do base backups substantially.

I was also able to remove a set of files that while only occupied about a 
terabyte, contained tens of millions of tiny files that massively slowed 
down the backup process whenever it hit that spot. Perhaps you have 
similar conditions on your filesystems?

Thanks,
Rich.

[Bacula-users] Restoring Files still an issue

[Richard Durivage]

Hello List,

I am still at a loss to find out why the restore process is restoring only 
folders and not files.

I have tried as suggested in a previous email to reset permissions on those 
restored folders without success. Even after changing permissions I still do 
not see any files being restored even though the output from the Bacula Server 
says the files have been restored.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Which version of this using Bacula?

In the restore process try using markdir directory and then to mark the files

If possible make available the log restore the bconsole run

joblog list jobid=Number_Job_ID

Re: [Bacula-users] general question to robocopy and bacula

[Richard Fox]

Hi,

I'm sorry, I responded too soon. I'm not in fact, using robocopy 
(presumably on Windows?). I'm using rsync on Linux.

Thanks,
Rich.

 Hello List,
 
 my simple question is:
 
 If I have data that gets copied from a remote location to the
 bacupserver with robocopy and bacula is running a job on the directory
 while robocopy is changing it could that cause bacula to fail the job
 with an r/w error ?

[Bacula-users] Ubuntu 14.04 (was Re: Bacula for OSX 10.9)

[Richard Mortimer]

Hi,

I'm coming late to this thread but...

 I'm interested in perhaps deploying this in my k-8 school, but I have not

 Anyone have some insights on this? My idea would be to back about 30 macs to 
 an Ubuntu server.

 This would be a good way to setup Bacula.  The Director, SD and catalog
 work well on a Ubuntu server -- I recommend Trusty (14.04).
A word of caution - I updated the Ubuntu server that runs my 
director/mysql from 12.04 to 14.04 a couple of weeks ago using the 
versions packaged as part of the distribution.

When my differential/full backup jobs ran over the past 2 weekends I 
noticed that they were taking a bit longer than they had been prior to 
the upgrade. In the case of full backups this past weekend one job that 
previously took 4 hours now took 28 hours for a system with 1 million 
files to backup!

I initially wondered if an improvement to MySQL had changed the 
operation of things and maybe the database needed some tuning. I'd also 
spent very little time optimising my Bacula configuration because it 
always worked well enough!

After a bit of investigation I worked out that the principle problem was 
batch insertion of attributes into the database. It turns out that 
Ubuntu ship something approximating to Bacula 5.2.6. That version does 
not have the optimised version of batch insertion (in blocks of 32 
entries) and instead inserts each entry into the batch table singly. 
Two days ago I did a very rough and ready local build/backport of the 
relevant changes to src/cats/mysql.c and that seems to have brought the 
backup times down to sensible levels.

For reference the relevant change is
http://www.bacula.org/git/cgit.cgi/bacula/commit/?id=a06b88f9c66cd697bc067807c4da14f232675d08

I haven't reported this in either Ubuntu (or Debian) bugtrackers yet but 
I believe that a similar thing will also affect the other database 
backends because they don't have the batch optimisations in 5.2.6 either.

I suspect that the real solution would be to package the latest 5.2.13 
(or even 7.x series) for Ubuntu but it is something to be aware of if 
you plan on using the native packages.

Side note: I'm not sure why the performance went down between 12.04 and 
14.04 because I kept the same bacula/mysql configuration between the 
two. I can only assume that it was something related to disk persistence 
where 14.04 was actually waiting for the information to be properly on 
the disk before letting an SQL transaction commit.

Regards

Richard


  For the
 Mac's someone probably has made the binaries and distributes them on the
 Internet.  Otherwise if you load all the appropriate build tools on the
 Mac, you can easily build the FD.   Later this year, Bacula Systems will
 provide free binaries for MacOSX which should also help.

 If you have the budget, I *strongly* recommend taking the Bacula Systems
 Admin I training.  It will provide you with everything you need to know
 and if you ask in advance, they can probably help you with the Mac builds.

 Best regards,
 Kern


 Thanks!

[Bacula-users] Stop unfinished backup, retain data

[Richard Fox]

Hi All,

I use Bacula 5.2.6. If I'm not mistaken when I have a backup running and I 
cancel it, Bacula discards the backup records for the data it has taken to tape 
which requires Bacula to back up the same files again on the next run. Isn't 
that correct?

If that is correct, is there any way to stop a running backup in which Bacula 
retains what it has managed to backup so far and picks up where it left off on 
the next run?

Thanks,
Rich.

Re: [Bacula-users] ibdata1

[Richard Fox]

Hi,

On Fri, 25 Jul 2014, Ken Mandelberg wrote:

 My ibdata1 file is currently at almost a GB. As far as I know Bacula is
 the only thing using mysql on my workstation. Is this size normal?

I think it can be perfectly normal. As far as I understand it, unless 
you're using file-per-table option in MySQL (or MariaDB) then these files 
will contain all of the data that is stored using InnoDB table format.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/glossary.html#glos_ibdata_file

I have made the mistake of omitting the file-per-table option when I 
wanted to use it and recall having to dump the tables, re-initialize the 
system, then import the data. I think my ibdata files were up to about 16G 
when I noticed the problem.

 I've
 seen generic mysql postings about ibdata1 expanding because of bad
 transactions and the inability to shrink it. I'm not sure how this fits
 in with Bacula.

I'm sorry, I can't comment on this part except I understand that you can't 
reclaim the disk space used by these files except for anything but innodb 
data. That is, when you free up space by truncating or dropping innodb 
tables, it frees up space within these files but only MySQL can use it for 
new innodb data. It doesn't change their size on disk.

Bacula can store a lot of data depending on what you're using it on. My 
Bacula database (using file-per-table as measured by du -sh ...) is at 
42G.

Thanks,
Rich.

I don't know about a repo. I use CentOS 6.4, 6.5 and have compiled

[Bacula-users] Thanks From Me Too!

[Richard Fox]

Hi,

I also would like to thank Kern Sibbald all of the other people involved 
in the Bacula project and John Drescher for suggesting it to me probably a 
long time ago. I was previously using commercial backup software and was 
forbidden by the vendor to adapt it to the changing architecture of our 
systems even though it was possible to do so (albeit by sacrificing 
functionality that I wouldn't be able to use anyway). Switching to Bacula 
solved those problems and gave me more functionality than ever before. It 
has been liberating for me and the people that depend on my work (even 
though they don't know it).

Thanks,
Rich.

Re: [Bacula-users] restoring a directory recursively as of a specific date

[Richard Mortimer]

Hi Ken,

On 03/02/2014 00:16, Ken Mandelberg wrote:
 None of the restore options do what I think would be a common need, ie
 to restore a directory recursively as it existed on a certain date.

 Am I missing something?

This can be done pretty easily using restore. However to get an accurate 
copy that takes account of deleted files you need to have Accurate 
enabled on your backup jobs.

http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/main/main/Released_Version_3_0_3_3_0_.html#SECTION00421000

Then from bconsole use restore.

option 6 Select backup for a client before a specified time

enter the date that you want to recover and the client/fileset.

Once that is selected bacula drops you into file selection mode.

 From file selection mode you can navigate the file hierarchy using cd 
and use the mark command to mark directories/files recursively. e.g.

cd /var
mark www

would mark all of /var/www for restoration.

See http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/main/main/Restore_Command.html

Hope this helps.

Best Regards

Richard

[Bacula-users] plugin

[Richard Zheng]

Hi,

I am new to the list. Just want to understand the difference between
enterprise and community versions. Besides the commercial support which is
very important to medium and large companies, enterprise version has some
interesting plugins, e.g. bandwidth throttling, VSS, NDMP, block level
backup. Are these available to community version after some time? Or they
have to be purchased? If have to be purchased, do they come with source
code or just binary? I am interested in running some plugins on embedded
linux appliance so source code is important.

Thanks,

When you update the client it removes all of the shared libraries that

[Bacula-users] FD feature requests

[Richard Tector]

Item 1:   Read-only mode for file daemon
   Origin: Richard Tector rich...@tector.org.uk
   Date:   12th Feb 2012
   Status:

   What:   The ability to configure the file daemon to operate in a
read-only mode, ie. refuse to run restore jobs. This would ideally be
set in the daemon's configuration file, either as a list of 'allowed'
job types (Backup/Verify) as a simple read-only knob.

   Why:In the event of the server running the Bacula Director
service being compromised, having distributed file daemons in a
read-only mode would stop critical files from being overwritten remotely
and so leading to additional system compromises. In the event of a file
restore being required, the read-only knob could be flipped locally on a
temporary basis.

   Notes:  Whilst the file daemon does have a '-k' option, this is not
reliably cross-platform. Additionally it is not always feasible to
reduce the privileges of the bacula user and then use file system ACLs
to limit write privileges.
This feature request obviously does not remove the risk from the file
daemon being compromised.


Item 2:   File daemon directory restrictions
   Origin: Richard Tector rich...@tector.org.uk
   Date:   12th Feb 2012
   Status:

   What:   The ability within the file daemon configuration to restrict
which directories can be accessed by a remote Director for
backup/restore jobs, etc.

   Why:A system may have sensitive data on it that does not require
backing up with Bacula. These files/directories may be backed up either
to a different Director/File daemon or through another method. The
ability to set restrictions would reduce the risk of data leakage in the
event that the Director is compromised.

   Notes:  As with the former feature request, it is not always feasible
or desired to restrict access through the use of file system access
controls. Again, this feature would not mitigate against file daemon
compromise.

[Bacula-users] Updating from debian package 5.0.2 to current version

I'm wondering which steps I actually have to do to upgrade from the default

Are there any database upgrades necessary?

[Bacula-users] how to multiplex two jobs using two different tape pools

[Richard Tabor]

All my backup jobs spool to disk before going to tape.

I have a small set of jobs that can take several days to complete and it locks 
up the use of the tape drive.  

I would like to have the drive freed while the long job is spooling to disk so 
that the smaller jobs can run.  I realize that there will be some amount of 
extra tape changing between pools.  

I have successfully run multiple jobs together when they use the same pool, but 
when I try to specify different pools I get the waiting to reserve a device 
message on the job.  

I am running an older version of bacula - 2.0.3.   Am planning on upgrading 
soon to a later version.

If this was Files, I know that I could create a second Device, but the 
documentation indicates that this should not be done with tapes.

Thanks.

[Bacula-users] Resetting/truncating table File?

[Richard Hartmann]

Hi all,

our Bacula director (Bacula v3) has a corrupt File table. We tried
repairing it but to no avail. Backups do exist, but we were wondering
if there is a safe way to simply truncate the File table, throwing all
legacy information away. I am aware that this would mean a full backup
instead of incremental so this is, in part, a theoretical question
more than anything else.

Still: Is there a way to cleanly wipe the File table?

If we decide to wipe it after all, we would obviously read in the
current set of backups once again to make sure only incremental
backups would be made, not full ones of everything.


THanks,
Richard

[Bacula-users] bscan back volumes

[Richard Marnau]

Hi all,
 
i'm trying to bscan back a volume, but the results are always the same: The

What do I miss or how can I check if there has been any file index restored?

Re: [Bacula-users] bscan back volumes

[Richard Marnau]

I did create a new database and did the same bscan, this one was working.
Job/volume/pool is set to 365 days in the pool configuration.

Just wondering:
If the client file retention is still default and the pools file retention 
is set,
Which one will actually be in action? I guess the shorter one (client default 
60 days?)

 I had a similar problem when I first used bscan.
 The answer is at the end of your message Most likely your retention
 policy pruned the files.
 
 What happened was that as soon as the data was bscanned back into the
 catalog, it was immediately pruned due to the retention policy.
 
 Once I changed the retention (file retention and maybe volume
 retention) period, all went well.
 
 Hope this helps.

 http://www.mail-archive.com/bacula-
 us...@lists.sourceforge.net/msg42297.html


Thanks for the link - that is now explaining why the file index was deleted.
But what is the conclusion? Setting Client retention to a high standard or 
disable it completely (autoprune=no)?
Right now I do manage the retention through the pool (full-pool, diff-pool, 
inc-pool) and as far as I understand
this is not working reliable.

Cheers,

Richard

[Bacula-users] Backup Folders using Wild and RegExDir

[Richard Marnau]

Hi all,
 
I'm trying to backup Desktop and Documents from all users on a client.
Bacula manual is a good point to start / Page 172 does have an example to 
backup only pictures folders from Windows Clients.
Unfortunaly all backups and settings I tried did not include any of the files 
or folders (or to much of them).
 
Directorys to backup:
C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/*/Desktop/*
C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/*/Eigene Dateien/*
 
--
My FileSet:
 
FileSet {
  Name = ClientWindows
  Include {
 
  File = C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen
 
 Options {
  signature = MD5
  compression = GZIP
  IgnoreCase = yes
 
  #Alle Benutzerverzeichnise mit einbeziehen.
  RegExDir=^C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/[^/]+$
 
  #Alle Benutzer Desktop Verzeichnise und Unterverzeichnise
  Wild = C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/*/Desktop/*
 
  #Alle Benutzer Eigene Dateien und Unterverzeichnise
  Wild = C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/*/Eigene Dateien/*
}
 Options {
Exclude = yes
IgnoreCase = yes
Wild= C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/*
}
  }
}
 
Where is my mistake and why ?
Thanks for any hint.
 
Cheers,
 
Richard

 Hi,
 
 purging only removes all jobs and files associated to that volume
 from
 the database. To get rid of the volume itself, you have to delete it
 (echo delete volume=volume name | bconsole).
 
 
 Regards,
 Christian Manal


Thanks for making that clear - i thought the database entry itself is deleted 
as well.

Cheers,

Richard

 Betreff: [Bacula-users] How to automatically Purge Volumes if they are
 older than their Volume Retention time
 
 Hello List,
 
 I am using bacula as a disk-based backup tool.
 
 I would now like to automatically purge Volumes when they are older
 than their Volume Retention time. Otherwise those old Volumes will
 eat up my disk space before they get reused again. I need them in
 Purged status so that i can automatically truncate them.
 
 However, Automatic recycling of Volumes is performed by Bacula only
 when it wants a new Volume and no appendable Volumes are available in
 the Pool.
 
 Is there a way to automatically mark them purged if they are older
 than their Volume Retention time?
 
 Cheers,
 Mario

Hi Martin,

thanks for the hint. Well .. I still can't browse the files :-(.

I did now:
1. checked JobID 1631 - Volumes Yearly0887/Yearly0898 are needed
2. bscan -c bacula-sd.conf -p -s -m -v -P xx -V Yearly0887\|Yearly0898 
Backupserver
3. Went into database, selected job, selected ID 1631, replaced purged files 
from 1 to 0
4. query show files for job id:

Choose a query (1-20): 12
Enter JobId: 1631
No results to list.

Please find below the full output of bscan. . is there anything else I can 
do except banging my head on the table :) ?

Cheers,
Richard

Disk Volumes on an smb share (software raid1).

Something is very odd with my database. I walk through yesterday backups but

[Bacula-users] Restoring old file - Filling DB with File Records using bscan

[Richard Marnau]

Hi all,

i'm stucked with a small but nasty problem. We need to restore a file which 
location is known, but the exact filename is not clear.
So I need to browse old backups, but the file table has been pruned (for an 
unknown reason).

My steps:

1. Trying to Recover

[Bacula-users] Bacula pruing file records ... why ?

[Richard Marnau]

Hi Guys,

i don't know why bacula is instantly pruning the file records. 
All volumes are still within the File and JobRetention Period, but I still 
cannot browse files even from the newest volumes.

Any idea?

Cheers,

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula pruing file records ... why ?

[Richard Marnau]

Hi Paulo,

thanks for your reply, there is no definition what so ever in the client 
configuration.
As i quoted before, only Monthly and Yearly is currently needed when 
restoring a file older than 2 weeks.

Cheers, Richard

[Bacula-users] Windows 2003 agent performance

[Richard Amerman]

I'm having issues with the performance of the bacula agent, 5.0.3 32bit,  
on Win 2003 32bit installed cleanly in a Virtualbox VM with 4 procs and  
3GB ram, with little in use.

This machine uses very little cpu under normal load but when a bacula  
backup starts up the cpu usage climes to 89% but the bacula fd process is  
only a part of that, the rest is not accounted for, I'm wondering if it is  
the VSS system.

It does not matter if the job is a full or diff job.

This VM is hosted on a CentOS 5.5 64bit box with 2 x Quad Zeon and RAID 5.

The Bacula server is running on the same CentOS box, also 5.0.3.

Everything else is working great with the system, it is only the CPU  
usage. I'm trying to do an hourly diff so this CPU usage is making the  
server almost unusable for 5-15 minutes every hour.


I'm just looking to see if anyone has seen anything like this and/or has  
any advice.



Thanks!!

Re: [Bacula-users] Windows 2003 agent performance

[Richard Amerman]

Definitely a good point. compression is not turned on though.

This is a new system I set up in the past month and I have not enabled  
software compression anywhere and do not find any references to it in any  
of my config files. (for that matter I'm not sure if I have hardware  
compression working on my LTO-4 drive, but I will get to that soon.)

One thing I forgot to mention is that these hourly backups are going to a  
file resource, not tape. That aspect seems to be working fine but just  
wanted to mention it.

Thanks

 Is it acceptable to turn software compression off?

[Bacula-users] Unable to restore jobs created on one client, on another

[Richard Scobie]

Bacula 5.0.2 Linux.

I have a number of Jobs, written to LTO4 tape on a host, backup1, which 
I am trying to restore from  with the tapes loaded in a host called 
flash. Director is running on host library1.

These restores are failing with either an error:

RestoreFiles.2010-10-21_13.54.01_08is waiting on max Storage jobs, 
and there are no other jobs pending, or fail completely with Fatal Error.

All bacula fds,sds and director have been restarted a number of times. 
Below is a typical fatal error scenario:

restore jobid=345 client=backup1-fd_arc 
file=?restore_476707713_16 done

1 file selected to be restored.

Bootstrap records written to /var/bacula/library1-dir.restore.1.bsr

The job will require the following

I don't understand here why it attempts to use Drive-1, which is the 
drive on the creation host, backup1.

Am I missing something basic here? All the jobs tried restore OK on 
backup1, where they were created.

Richard

 My guess: because that's where the Catalog says is it?

A list media for the Archive pool shows the In changer and Slot

Yes, sorry for the confusion.

 Does the Director know that the tape has moved from one system to another?

Only in the sense that once the tapes were removed from backup1's 
autoloader, the command update slots was done.

Is there something else that needs doing?

[Bacula-users] Bacula with two independent storage and pools

[Richard Marnau]

Hi all,

our backup server is in the same room like all the other servers and just to 
make sure I want to backup some server on
separate usb disks. So far so easy. The setup:

[storage1] - [Pool1] - [JOB1,2,3,4,5,6]
[storage2] - [Pool2] - [D-Job1,2,3,4,5,6]

I did define a separate storage with a separate pool and created separate jobs 
for each server. Everything is working so far
but bacula is mixing up the archives when I want to do a restore.

Archiv1 was the last full backup on the USB archive disk, not the last full 
backup on the normal backup server.
Couple of reasons why this is bad, but most important I'm way to lazy to swap 
usb-drives each time a backup occurs ;-).

Thanks for any hints...

Cheers,

Richard

One solution to feed your drives at full speed, is to build a low cost 
server containing an array of SATA drives, sufficient to hold all that 
you are backing up, and attach the library to it.

Rsync the data you are backing up to it, and do your backup from this 
array. I have been running a setup like this to backup 11TB of 
uncompessible data to a single drive LTO4 library and it takes around 27 
hours.

This also reduces the backup performance impct on your primary storage.

My apologies, I distinctly thought you said as much data as these

The outlined solution achieves that at a much lower cost than a 
completely disk based backup system.

[Bacula-users] Autochanger weakness

[Richard Scobie]

Unless I have missed something, it appears that if you have an 
autochanger full of tapes and it becomes unavailable for whatever reason 
- say the PSU fails, there is no way of accessing the tapes in another 
drive, as the system thinks are still loaded in the library and will not 
allow a restore when mounted in another drive, due to update slots not 
being able to be run.

Surely if a tape is mounted in a drive and the label is read, this 
should become the new location for this tape?

Regards,

Richard

[Bacula-users] Modifying tape location

[Richard Scobie]

I have a tape I am trying to restore from on a local LTO drive.

It was created at a remote location, in a library which is no longer 
attached to the SD there and the update slots command was not done 
after this tape was removed, so the Director still sees the tape as 
residing in the remote library.

How can I change this, so I can mount the tape locally and restore from it?

Regards,

Richard

[Bacula-users] Ignore full backups for offside/desaster recovery

[Richard Marnau]

Hi guys,

We do have a backup-server with disks where i store the backups. This is 
working fine, but i do have the concern that a backupserver in the same room is 
properly not a good idea (O'Reilly BackupRecovery realy scarys you off). I did 
define another storage+pool to backup on USB Disk with the same schedule. Every 
month i'm moving the disks to offside locations.
Problem: The diffs and the inc backups are on top of the last full backup. How 
can i prevent bacula from counting the usb-full backup, so that all backups 
in are on the backup-server?

My thoughts: 
Backups always comes from the backup-server. In case everything burns to ground 
the disaster recovery comes from full backups with the off-side disks. I don't 
want to mix them.

### SCHEDULE #
Schedule {
  Name = WeeklyCycle
  Run = Level=Full Pool=File 1st sun at 23:05

Re: [Bacula-users] Want to contribute to Bacula?

[Richard Mortimer]

Sorry, that was another of the changes that I had to make. I've got that 
sitting in the documentation git repo tree and will push that docu 
change to Kern once I'm happy that I can run without too much changes. 
You need to add a /bacula to the end of gitroot/bacula e.g.

git clone -v git://bacula.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/bacula/bacula bacula

Once you've got that step done with the documentation gets a little 
confusing it says to run ./config filename.conf but in actual fact you 
seem to just need to do

make setup

from the bacula/regress directory.

Richard

 Full details are here:

 See:

 # Setting up Regession Testing
 # Running the Regression Script

 Have a look at http://regress.bacula.org/ and see if your Operating
 System and database version are tested.  If not, it is to your benefit
 to ensure Bacula is tested against your tools of choice.


 I'm willing to try this, but:

 %git clone -v git://bacula.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/bacula bacula
 Cloning into bacula...
 fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

 Where do I go from here?
 Is the above correct?

bye  Thanks

 I'll run tests on Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) because I've got a suitable
 installation available here. I had a quick try at following the
 instructions but it didn't work. It is probably a setup problem on my
 part so I'll try again tonight and will follow up on bacula-devel if I
 still have problems.

 I recommend following up here rather than devel.


 I've got sqlite3 working and uploading results to the experimental area.
 This worked ok first time.

 I tried mysql yesterday (that's what I use for my own backups) and most
 tests seem to fail with that. I suspect it is some database problem
 because the setup scripts do not seem to be passed the username/password
 from the regression test configuration. I'll have a look at what is
 wrong when I get a few minutes over the next couple of days.

 Ok as I suspected it is the database setup/cleanup scripts that are failing. 
 Nothing is passing the username/password
 credentials to the appropriate scripts. I suspect it would work for a user 
 regress with database regress and no db password.

 In any case I have got it to work by dropping the mysql credentials into a 
 file named regressmysql.cnf in the toplevel regress
 directory and then adding --defaults-file=${cwd}/regressmysql.cnf to the 
 commands that cleanup/tear down the database. I've
 attached my current changes as a patch file but I'm sure that they need some 
 work to make it suitable for committing to the git
 repo.

 The regressmysql.cnf file is currently hand generated and contains

 regr...@royalcounty:~/bacula/regress$ cat regressmysql.cnf
 [client]
 host = localhost
 user = regress
 password = passwordgoeshere

 Richard

 Richard, why not using the expect db auth file format
 like a ~regress/.my.cnf or/and regress/.pgpass with exactly the waiting auth 
 scheme by db.

 I think there's no need to patch if you prepare a convenient and complete db 
 setup for your regress user
 (same apply to normal bacula)



Good idea thanks. I'll give that a whirl. That will certainly be a bit 
simpler. If that works I'll whip up a patch for the documentation with 
sample file contents etc. to save others having to search the list archives.

Regards

Richard
