Re: [Bacula-users] Bscan over encrypted tape
Hi, just concluding my question. Yes! It's possible run a bscan over a encrypted tape and recreate the Catalog for it, even if you don't have the keys. Of Course, to do a restore you'll need such keys. See ya!

[Bacula-users] Bscan over encrypted tape
Hi Users... Before I try do that I would ask you if it works run a "bscan" directly over a tape with an encrypted backup by Bacula. Would be recreated the Catalog for that tape, assuming I don't have the bootstrap file anymore?

[Bacula-users] Recycle Problems
Hello Users, I've experienced some strange problems with the "Recycling" on my Bacula. For example, I have a pool to my Full Backups where I have one different tape for each weekend in the month. Well, on the second week I've used FW2-001 with Volume Retention of 27 days = 2332800 seconds and at this weekend (4th week) I've put the FW4-001 and Bacula Recycled FW2-001 even with your VolRetention not expired. My file and job retention are greater than volume retention as on the Pool as the Client Resource. +-++---+-+--+--+--+-+--+---+---+-+ | MediaId | VolumeName | VolStatus | Enabled | VolBytes | VolFiles | VolRetention | Recycle | Slot | InChanger | MediaType | LastWritten | +-++---+-+--+--+--+-+--+---+---+-+ 6 | FW2-001| Used | 1| 1 | 0| 2332800 | 1 | 0| 0 | LTO-4 | 2011-09-12 09:10:13 In the Official Documentation it says the following: "Prune volumes applying Volume retention period (Volumes with VolStatus Full, Used, or Append are pruned). Note, even if all the File and Job records are pruned from a Volume, the Volume will not be marked Purged until the Volume retention period expires. " So...Bacula couldn't do such thing with my volume FW2-001 so that it wasn't expired. For assurance, I've updated "All Volumes from All Pools" today after checking the conf files. But I've done this before and I'm still with problems. I've set up a scheme where I just have to change tapes without none intervention via console, but with such problems, I'm having to do Bacula chose the right tapes manually. Everything was working perfectly until my tape FW5-001 to expire and Bacula to try use it instead the FW2-001, because FW5-001 is for the 5th week on the month and not all months have the 5th week, so I should have disabled it after the job, but I didn't notice in time. Being this volume older than FW2-001 and Expired obviously, Bacula chose it. So I've tried a Bscan on the FW5-001 to recreate the Catalog (more because I wanted to test the Bscan) and after that the things started to goes wrong. Some ideas for this problem? I know this is a "little bit" confused :) Thanks. -- All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.

Re: [Bacula-users] retentions
Hey Hymie... Job Retention is just for clean up the catalog from old jobs. What make a Volume Recyclable is the Volume Retention after the volume turns on Full or Used. I set up my File and Job Retention always longer than my Volume Retention because when it finish and turns on Purged, the job entries on the catalog are deleted too.

[Bacula-users] Hint: Include Confs
Hi Everyone... I'm reading a book about Bacula and I found a hint that could be very useful to many users here. Instead you declare all your resources inside the same .conf (bacula-dir.conf) you might separate them on many files. So, you just need declare them in your bacula-dir.conf like this way: @/etc/bacula/bacula-dir-catalogs.conf @/etc/bacula/bacula-dir-messages.conf @/etc/bacula/bacula-dir-clients.conf @/etc/bacula/bacula-dir-consoles.conf @/etc/bacula/bacula-dir-pools.conf @/etc/bacula/bacula-dir-filesets.conf @/etc/bacula/bacula-dir-schedules.conf @/etc/bacula/bacula-dir-jobs.conf @/etc/bacula/bacula-dir-storages.conf This allow a better organization of your confs. That's it Man! I hope that this be useful to someone... :) Rickifer Barros -- EMC VNX: the world's simplest storage, starting under $10K The only unified storage solution that offers unified management Up to 160% more powerful than alternatives and 25% more efficient.

[Bacula-users] Performance
Hello Guys... This weekend I did a backup with a size of 41.92 GB that took 1 hour and 24 minutes with a rate of 8.27 MB/s. My Bacula Server is installed in a IBM server connected in a Tape Drive LTO4 (120 MB/s) via SAS connection (3 Gb/s). I'm using Encryption and Compression Gzip6. I think that this rate (8.27 MB/s) is too much slow for such configuration. I'd like to know how much rate you are getting using Encryption and Compression and what I suppose to do to increase the Bacula's performance.

[Bacula-users] Less intervention as Possible.
Hello one more time...
I'm trying to configure my Bacula so that I don't have to mount and umount
manually the tapes after the jobs but I'm not getting this...
My Backup Scheme is like that:
tue-fri - Differentialls in the same tape
sat - Full in another tape
Also I have 2 daily jobs: Backup Files and Backup Catalog.
So I want to Backup tue-thu without ejecting the tape. At Friday it must to
be ejected as well as Saturday.
I've tried to configure my Storage like that:
Device {
Name = LTO-4
Media Type = LTO-4
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = no;
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
Maximum File Size = 5GB
Volume Poll Interval = 1 minutes
Close on Poll = yes
Offline on Unmount = yes
}
So, according my Pool settings, after 4 Differential jobs the tape is
changed to "Used" status but the Poll don't Close it anyway to make it
Offline.
If I set "AlwaysOpen = no" it is ejected but soon after the Backup Files
Job, so the Backup Catalog Job runs out of tape.
Is it possible send a unmount command after specific jobs? Therefore I could
set up my Backup Catalog Jobs to umount the tape at Fridays and
Saturdaysso the "Offline on Umount" directive would eject the tape.
Thanks in advance.
Rickifer Barros.

[Bacula-users] All Pruned Jobs don't make the Volume Used/Purged
Hello Users... Just to confirm one little thing...I've read that Bacula will try keep your data as maximum as possible before overwrite them. So, even when my Volume Retention Time is expired after the last job, the volume don't become Used or Purge, but it still Append. Thereby, for example, in a backup scheme where I use one Tape to do 4 differential backups Mon-Thu with a retention time of 7 days, I need to set the Maximum Volume Jobs to "4" and the Volume Retention to "7 days". So, after 4 Jobs, the volume status is changed to "Used" and after 7 days it can be Recycled. There's some way to make this using just the Volume Retention or I'm forced to use "Maximun Volume Jobs" together?

Re: [Bacula-users] Verify Jobs
I was using /dev/nst0 but I'm trying the /dev/st0 just for testing, because
I've notice that even with any of them, Bacula controls if it will rewind or
not. At least, this was I could to notice.

Re: [Bacula-users] Verify Catalog
A bad backup is the same that none backup. Verifying is very important, nevertheless, is not 100% safe. The only and almost impracticable way would be often make disaster recovery simulations.

Re: [Bacula-users] Verify Catalog
Yes John... Now, I think that I understood perfectly and I have tested it too. VolumeToCatalog = Compares the files in a Storage Volume with the Catalog; DiskToCatalog = Compares the files of the File Deamon's File Set with the Catalog; Catalog = Like the DiskToCatalog but for Catalogs that don't must change because the files are usually system files, so, must be an isolated Catalog and the Job with Level = InitCatalog must be run before the proper Job with Level = Catalog , in order to clean it and receive the new records. Am I Right, now? One detail is...I thought that in a VolumeToCatalog I could do the verification even without the FD connection, because, in my example, the Catalog and the Volume are in the same server machine, but, anyway, I needed the FD. I know that, if my files were encrypted in the Volume, I would need the FD to decryption, but, in this case, they weren't. Anyway, my real question was solved, Thank you.

[Bacula-users] Fwd: Verify Catalog
Hi John,
Well, I've tested like the way you said me and it worked.
I used the Level DiskToCatalog cause is a Backup in Disk, so, I've noticed
that it always do the "verify" with the last job written on the Catalog.
Thus, I couldn't check an older backup.
Another thing...in this test I got two .txt files with nothing write in
them, i.e, they were 0 KB. Bacula considered them, either with MD5 or SHA1,
like inconsistent files with those in the Catalog. When I wrote something in
them and redid the test, so, the verification was OK.
Thank you John, for your explanation.
Just one more question for nowit seems such obvious, but, the Level
VolumeToCatalog would be when I use Tapes? Is that right?

[Bacula-users] Verify Catalog
Hello Bacula Users,
I'm trying to test the Verify Job but, how I could understand, I have to
create another catalog just for verifications, but I'm not getting do this.
I have installed Bacula on Debian through the aptitude with PostGre. Now I
dont know how create this catalog. I've tried create a db called "verify"
and configured the Director:
Catalog {
Name = Verification
dbname = verify; DB Address = ""; dbuser = "bacula"; dbpassword = "###"
}
...so, I cannot even connect at the Director via console.
What I need to do to use this Verify Job.
Another thing...this type of Job is just to verify a group of file that
don't must change often. But, how about backup consistency checking, bacula
do this implicitly or I need do additional settings for this.
Thanks in advance.
Rickifer Barros.

[Bacula-users] Bacula Verification
Hi, I'm reading about the verification File Set options so, how I could understand, there are three modes: basejob (for Full Backups), accurate (for Incr/Diff) and verify (for Catalog). Is that right? If it is, what options are the best for a reliable verification and don't overhead the backup time. Is it enough check only the md5 hash?
