LTO2 tapes can be read by LTO2, LTO3 and LTO4 drives and written by LTO2 and LTO3 drives.

Re: [Bacula-users] Backup Catalog
Hi Gina :) I didn't test it wether it might be the problem. But can it be that you mistaken the paths? The error says: "cannot create /opt/BACULA/WORKING/bacula.sql". You wrote that you gave all users privilleges to "/opt/BACULA/SCRIPTS/". That is a different directory. I'm no cyber security expert but as far what I read, giving all users privileges to a really important file is a bad idea. If I remember correctly giving that directory to the bacula user and giving privleges to the bacula user should be sufficient. If you can trust all users in the "www-data" group I would at least remove the write privilege of "others". It should look like this: rwxrwxr-x. Like I said, I'm NOT a trained system adminstrator. Giving read and execute permissions to "others" and the "www-data" group also might be a bad idea in that case, so please take the advice with a huge grain of salt.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula wiki down
Hello th3penguinwhisperer, I don't keep track of the mailing list of bacula on a regular basis since I have a lot of work with university and my job, but there was a lot of traffic the last eight weeks or so. I checked the bacula.org blog section for you and found a entry of the Bacula Release 13.0.1 from the 5th of August 2022 (https://www.bacula.org/bacula-release-13-0-1/ ). I think bacula is alive. You can head to the Manuals Page (https://www.bacula.org/documentation/documentation/ ) and have a look at the documentation. Maybe that helps to solve your problem. The html pages are up and running for me (germany). I suggest to write down the informations and save the sites/documentations you used to do your setup. At my job at the university we are exhorted(I already did it before) to do this and save the sites/documentations as html/pdfs, archive them with these informations and backup all files to be able to "jump back in time" in case links go dead or companies cease support of old software/hardware. If you need enterprise support you can head to (https://www.baculasystems.com/corporate-data-backup-software-solutions/bacula-enterprise-data-backup-software/ ). If there should be a spot in the documentation you need a lot of additional sources to wrap your head around that means that the documentation most propably can be improved on that spot. Since bacula is open source software you can contribute your solution to the project. For a introduction on making contributions please head to (https://www.bacula.org/what-is-bacula/making-contributions/ ). I don't know if the wiki got abandoned but bacula is alive. The date of the last version of the Main Reference Documentation is from the 4th of July 2022.

[Bacula-users] How are "new" files determined?
Hi everyone! How exactly are "new" files, which have to be backed up, determined by Bacula? The reason for asking: Recently, I migrated my main data to a new set of hard drives. I did so by using "rsync -aH" which *should* leave all file timestamps etc. untouched. After the migration was finished, also all paths etc. were exactly the same as before, just with a new set of HDDs "underneath". However, in the next scheduled Bacula run (which was scheduled as Incremental), Bacula stared to backup *everything* of the abovementioned data. (I cancelled the job and will resume doing backups on this particular fileset with next regular Full backup which is scheduled for the upcoming Sunday anyway.) So - what went wrong here and how could this have been avoided?

[Bacula-users] Backup of Windows clients - best practices?
Hi all! So far, I'm using Bacula to back up various Linux clients and it works great. Now, I would like to add another client to be backup which is running under Windows 10 Pro 64bit. I already went through the "Windows" chapter of the Bacula main manual, but this seems to be focusing more on older versions of Windows. The main thing I took away from that was that it might be good idea to use "Enable VSS = yes" in the fileset definition. Aside from that - are there any best practices that I should follow when backing up Windows clients? E.g. which paths should be included and which should be excluded in the fileset(s)? Or is it maybe a better idea to first create a system image with Window's built-in image functionality and then back up the resulting image file(s) via Bacula? Any comments are appreciated.

[Bacula-users] Problems with LTO5 drive
Hi all!
Currently, I'm running a Bacula installation that writes backups to a
LTO4 drive. This is all running perfectly fine.
Recently, I bought a second-hand LTO5 drive to beef up my storage
capacity a bit. But when I wanted to test the "new" drive, I came across
a somewhat strange problem: When I run btape with the "test" command,
everything seems to work fine. But when I try to run the "fill" command,
btape seems to succeed to write the volume name, but crahes immediately
when it try write "payload" data with a segmentation faul 11.
I'll attach the btraceback data below, but that's all greek to me.
Any idea what is going wrong here?
Best regards
Sebastian

[Bacula-users] Volume status "Used" vs. "Full"
Hi everyone! In my Bacula installation (v7.4.4, Debian), I have a certain Full backup job that is configured to go to a pool of tapes. One run of this backup job currently spans abot 2.5 tapes. In order to make handling of the tapes a bit more easier (I'm taking them to an off-site storage and will re-use them after a few months), I would like to have the last, half-used tape of a job run not to be used for the beginning of the subsequent job run. Therefore, I configured "Maximum Volume Jobs = 1" for this pool. In principle, this works as itended, but there's one thing that irritates me: The first two tapes being used in a job run are not marked as "Full" in the Bacula catalog (as I would've expected since they are actually full), but as "Used". Is this a bug or a feature? How can I configure that last half-used volume from a job run isn't reused for the subsequent job run and at the same time having actually full volumes marked as "Full"? TIA, Sebastian ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

I guess it's because the manual states a HTTP address which the server redirects to a HTTPS address which can't be handled by curl. Also I've noticed some glitches in the upgrade manual at http://docs.bacula-web.org/en/v8.1.0/02_install/upgrade.html#install-upgrade - There are some typos around the "application" part in path names, e.g. "appication" and "appilcation". (Of course it's obvious when you read it and type in the command manually, but a pitfall when you try to copy and paste the commands. - The upgrade manual doesn't mention to set the file ownership of /application/assets/protected/application.db back to the webserver user after restoring it from backup. If this isn't done, one get's an error message of bad file permissions. Aside from this, the upgrade went smooth and also the new version itself works fine - thanks!

[Bacula-users] Changing volume of running job?
Hi everyone, last night I encountered the following situation: a scheduled backup started, using a certain backup pool (a set of tapes). From that pool, Bacula (v7.4.4) selected an empty volume X, but since this was not in the tapelibrary, Bacula kept asking for it. (Since I was ~250km away, I couldn't do that.) However, another volume Y, which was also totally empty, would have been available in the tapelibrary. Basically, I have two question about this: 1. Why does Bacula prefer an empty volume which is not available over another empty volume that would have been available? 2. Is there any way to sort of re-direct an already running job to another (available) volume?

First of all, thank you for Bacula-Web and all the efforts you're putting into it, I've been using it for some months now (v7.4.0) and I like it a lot. Recently, I upgraded to v8 - since the download of v8.0.1 was broken at that time (it seems to fine again now), my following comments actually refer to v8.0.0. 1. I couldn't find any hint in documentation on the default login credentials after a fresh install or upgrade from an older version without access control. Is that information really missing or have I been too clumsy to find it? (I've managed to add my own credentials directly to the sqlite database, though, so the problem is solved for me.) 2. My server is currently configured to show PHP deprecated warnings and when I visit the Bacula login page, I'm getting the following warnings: | Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be | constructors in a future version of PHP; Smarty has a deprecated | constructor in /bacula-web/vendor/smarty/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php on line 64 | | Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be | constructors in a future version of PHP; Smarty_Compiler has a | deprecated constructor in /bacula-web/vendor/smarty/smarty/libs/Smarty_Compiler.class.php on line 35 Yes, I know it's just warnings and no errors, but from my personal experience, if you don't fix it right now, you will be very suprised when the "future PHP version" is released and put into production. ;-) 3. On the "general settings" page, I can't change any setting, all options and input fields are inactive. Is this a problem with my configuration (filesystem access rights maybe?) or is this page currently just a dummy for future functionality in Bacula-web? 4. And, last but not least, a feature request: could you please re-include the shortcuts that clicking on the pie charts for jobs and pools takes you directly to the respective reports? I used these shortcuts in v7.4.0 quite a lot...

That's a question only you can answer, because it depends on several factors that only you know: - Total size of the data to be backed (determines the size of a Full backup job) - Typical amount of data that changes per day/per week (determines the size of Incremental and Differential backup jobs) - Space available on the device(s)/media that the backup jobs are stored to > - How can i configure for bacula run full backup override last one.

I think, I would try a configuration with a dedicated pool where the Full backups go to which contains only a single volume and having set "Maximum Volume Jobs" to 1. But then, on the other hand, I would reconsider having only a single Full backup job generation. Because in this configuration, your old Full backup data is deleted at the very beginning of a new Full backup job. This means that during the time between starting the next Full backup job and successfully(!) completing it, you're left with no consistent Full backup data at all. IMHO, this is Murphy's Law waiting to strike.

Because, looking at the mailbox content you posted previously, Bacula tried to write at least three backup jobs to the file "ANG1205-19042018" - likely even more. Bacula did so because you configured it to keep every single backup job for at least six month. (Can be seen in the config screenshot you attached to your first message.) As a sidenote, may I suggest that you try to track down and eliminate all the errors you're getting in your backup jobs? It seems as up to now, not a single Full backup was done successfully from that particular client, so Bacula will try over and over again to do a Full backup - which of course uses a lot of space in your backup storage.

I'm afraid, I didn't fully understand what you meant to say here. But I assume, you are wondering why the devices of the library are so "distributed". That I can explain at least partially: The reason is, that the way the library is connected to the server is somewhat "unique". The library is an Overland NEO2000 which, unlike most other libraries, has a dedicated controller card with its own parallel SCSI connectors. The LTO1 drive also has its own parallel SCSI connectors. The LTO4 drive, on the other hand, has a Fibre Channel connection. In order not having to use two different host adapters (SCSI & FC), I installed a FC-to-SCSI bridge in library. (An ATTO FibrBridge 2390C, relabled by Overland.) On the server side, I'm using a dual channel FC controller Emulex LPe 11002. The LTO4 drive and the FibreBridge are connected directly to one of the FC controller ports respectively. Or, as a sketch: -. .- Server | | Library | +-. .---+ Fibre Channel | | | |=| LTO4 drive | | FC HA | | | | |==## +-' '---+ || | | || +-. -' || | | || ,---+ LTO1 drive | || | | | ||SCSI | +-' || | | || | +-. || '---+ | || | Controller | || .---+ | || | +-' ||SCSI | | || | +-. || '---+ | || | FibreBridge | ##=| | Fibre Channel+-' | '- But I don't have the slightest clue why the kernel splits up the two channels of the single FC controller into two non-consecutive controller numbers (0 and 7).

Well, that's what I found out with some btape "speed" test runs: https://hirnfasching.de/2018/02/19/geschwindigkeitsmessung-lto-4-laufwerk/ The blog post itself is in German - sorry for that - but the figures should be understandable anyway.

And now it get's really weird: this time, the tape was exchanged without any noticable problems. This makes me wonder if the problem is maybe caused by the LTO4 drive itself. But what I didn't mention so far: during my various trial runs around this problem, I also replaced the LTO4 drive with another one. (AFAIR both of them were the same Seagate model, though...)

Here's the trace file from the beginning of the job until the point
where the first tape was full and Bacula got stuck:
https://suchanek.de/temp/tigersclaw-sd.trace (47kB)
And here ist what happend when I manually cancelled the stuck job (which
worked) and try to do a "release LTO4-Drive" command in bconsole. (Which
didn't work, i.e. Bacula got stuck here too.)
https://suchanek.de/temp/tigersclaw-sd.trace.2 (3kB)
I hope you can find anything usefull in these debug files, because I'm
totally lost here...

[Bacula-users] Autochanger not changing
Hi everyone,
while still setting up Bacula (v5.2.6), I've come accross a rather
strange issue with my tape library (an Overland NEO2000) with a
LTO4-FC-Drive. When I do "fill" test with btape over multiple tapes,
everything works fine. Also, for example, when I do a "label barcodes"
command in btape over multiple slots, the individual tapes are moved
into the drive, get written and are put back into their original slot.
But when I run a "real" backup job which spans more than one tape, the
job gets stuck as soon as the end of the first tape is reached. The last
messages from the job are:
| [...]
| 2018-04-01 14:16:42 tigersclaw-sd JobId 111: Volume "SU4103L4"
previously written, moving to end of data.
| 2018-04-01 15:55:32 tigersclaw-sd JobId 111: End of Volume "SU4103L4"
at 21:2548 on device "LTO4-Drive-1" (/dev/nst0). Write of 200 bytes
got -1.
And after that, nothing happens anymore. Not even if I wait for half an
hour.
Here's the (hopefully) relevant part of my bacula-sd.conf:
| [...]
| Autochanger {
| Name = Overland-NEO2000
| Device = LTO1-Drive-1
| Device = LTO4-Drive-1
| Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
| Changer Device = /dev/sg4
| }
|
| Device {
| Name = LTO4-Drive-1
| Drive Index = 1
| Media Type = LTO-4
| Archive Device = /dev/nst0
| AutomaticMount = yes
| AlwaysOpen = yes
| RemovableMedia = yes
| RandomAccess = no
| Maximum block size = 2MB
| Maximum File Size = 40GB
| AutoChanger = yes
| Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
| Spool Directory = "/srv/bacula/spool"
| }
| [...]
Any idea what exactly is going wrong here? What can I do to track down
the reason for this error? What can I do to fix it?
Best regards

[Bacula-users] Simultaneously spooling and writing to tape
Hi everyone! Currently, my Bacula seup (v5.2.6) is as follows: The director, the storage daemon and a file daemon are running on my server, two backup jobs are configured to run directly from the server. Additionally, there's a client with another file daemon and one backup job configured. The data of all three jobs is supposed to be written to the same tape drive. Since the client is connected to the server only via internet (not via LAN), the backup data from there is spooled on the server. All three jobs are scheduled for the same time and with the current config, the jobs are queued by Bacula and are executed one after another, including the spooling of the data from the external client. But since this spooling can take quite some time, I would like Bacula to start the spooling from the external client first and, while spooling, to simultaneously start writing one (or both) local backup jobs to the tape. Disk I/O shouldn't be an issue on the server, since the source of the local backup jobs and the spooling disk are two physically separate drives. I've already tried to set the priority number of the remote job to a lower value and set "Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2" for the director. (If I've understood the Bacula documentation correctly, the default maximum concurrent job value for the storage daemon should be 4 anyway.) But also with these settings, the backup jobs are still executed strictly consecutively. What can I do to achieve the desired behaviour?

[Bacula-users] Schedule for every second month?
Hi everyone!
In Bacula v5.2.6, I would like to define a job that runs on the first
Monday every second month. As an example:
- 1st Monday in January -> Full Backup
- 1st Monday in February -> Differential Backup
- 1st Monday in March -> Full Backup
- 1st Monday in April -> Differetial Backup
and so on...
Is there a more elegant way to define this kind of schedule other than
plainly writing the following?
Schedule {
Name = "BiMonthly"
Run = Full 1st mon jan at 01:00
Run = Differential 1st mon feb at 01:00
Run = Full 1st mon mar at 01:00
Run = Differential 1st apr feb at 01:00
...
}
Maybe something similar like "0 1 1 */2 *" would do in crontab for the
first day of every second month?
Best regards
Sebastian

[Bacula-users] Backup to file, filesize limit not working
Hi all!
Currently, I'm trying to set up and getting familiar with Bacula.
(v5.2.6 - that's the version that comes with my Linux distribution
Debian Jessie.)
For making backups of the Bacula catalog, I've made the following
configurations:
- bacula-sd.conf --
[...]
Device {
Name = FileStorage
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /srv/bacula/file
LabelMedia = yes
Random Access = yes
AutomaticMount = yes
RemovableMedia = no
AlwaysOpen = no
}
[...]
---
- bacula-dir.conf -
[]
Job {
Name = "BackupCatalog"
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
Level = Full
FileSet="Catalog"
Schedule = "WeeklyCycleAfterBackup"
RunBeforeJob = "/etc/bacula/scripts/make_catalog_backup.pl MyCatalog"
RunAfterJob = "/etc/bacula/scripts/delete_catalog_backup"
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/%n.bsr"
Priority = 11
}
Schedule {
Name = "WeeklyCycleAfterBackup"
Run = Full sun-sat at 20:10
}
FileSet {
Name = "Catalog"
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
}
File = "/var/lib/bacula/bacula.sql"
}
}
Storage {
Name = File
Address = localhost
SDPort = 9103
Password = "xIOrJZDj98rAAfP3S_dN8ipaa6RbxCkV9"
Device = FileStorage
Media Type = File
}
Pool {
Name = File
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 365 days
Maximum Volume Bytes = 500MB
Maximum Volumes = 10
LabelFormat = "file"
}
---
With this configuration, I would expect that Bacula writes the jobs to a
file "file" in /srv/bacula/file and, as soon as this file's size
reaches 500MB, creates a new file and continues with that. (Up to ten
files.) But instead, Bacula keeps writing to a single file, which
currently has grown to around 690MB, IOW well above 500MB.
What's going wrong here? How can I make Bacula create a new file once
the current file's size has reached 500MB?
Regards
Sebastian

I'd delete with my script on volumes that are older than 14 days on Fridays. This way the oldest backup would always be a fullbackup from Saturdays. So then incremental backups that happen the following days are based on the full backup on Saturday. This way, I always have atleast a fullbackup that is younger than 14 days. Atleast that's my plan to handle the disk-space automatically. :) Any downsides? Regards, Sebastian -- LogMeIn Central: Instant, anywhere, Remote PC access and management.

Re: [Bacula-users] Managing disk space for Bacula Backups
Hi, >You should not delete files without telling Bacula. You should use the >console the manually mark Volumes as "Recycle" or purge them. To >"automatically" prevent such situations you can use the recycle oldest >volume policy but be aware of the donwsides listed in the manual. Since I use a new volume for every backup and only need the backups for the last 14 days, isn't it possible to delete the volumes older than 14 days from the database (with delete volume) and then delete these volumes from the NFS? I could do this easily with a batch-script. I see no downsides with this, except that I don't have backups that are older than 14 days, but that's not needed. The problem with recycling oldest volumes is, when Bacula uses the oldest volumes, it would use 5 incremental, small volumes, when the large full-backup-volumes are still there, taking up disk space. Any workaround to this, except for manually searching for old volumes and deleting them? Thanks! Sebastian -- LogMeIn Central: Instant, anywhere, Remote PC access and management.

[Bacula-users] Managing disk space for Bacula Backups
Hi, for my company I've set up a bacula-server which backups several clients to an NFS. The NFS is mounted on the Bacula-server and has 500GBs space. I have to back up about 50 clients. I do full backups on Saturdays and incremental backups every other day. I set the file and job retention to 14 days for every client, AutoPrune is on. Every client writes into its own pool on the NFS. Every pool can contain a maximum of 20 volumes and I use every volume only once. The also get recycled and autopruned. The volume retention period is set to 14 days. So all retention periods are 14 days. With this configuration, the 500GB space are usually sufficient to store 3 full backups and several incremental backups of all the hosts. Now my problem is the following: If I make full backups from all the clients, on my own outside of the schedule, the 500GBs are full, but Bacula doesn't recycle the older volumes, because the retention period and max. volumes limit is not reached. So what are my options? - Increase the storage (possible, but only a workaround?) - Manually delete the files that are older than 14 days on the NFS (what I'm currently doing) - ??? Thanks for your help in advance! Cheers Sebastian -- LogMeIn Central: Instant, anywhere, Remote PC access and management.

[Bacula-users] only incremental Backup of a growing amount of data
Hi, I have the following situation: - A data storage server (4TB) with a growing amount of scientific data. Data which is already on the server will probably stay there and only occasionally some will be deleted. - A backup server with 4,5TB My problem is (if I understand the documentation right): - If I perform an incremental backup into one big volume file, the space occupied by files deleted on the storage server won't be freed, because the files will be deleted from the catalog but will stay in the volume file. Is this right? - If I use small volume files, the old volume files won't be deleted/reused because they will contain files which are still on the storage server. - I can't do 2 Full backups and then delete the elder one, because if more than 2,25TB space are used on the storage server there is not enough space for this on the backup server. Am I missing something? Is there an option/setup method to avoid these problems?

[Bacula-users] Incremental backups of older data
For special data we have a backup scheme that does not really fit bacula's idea of incremental backups: There is a directory, say /archive, that is empty by default. If something needs to be backed up by bacula, it is copied (or moved) into this directory. Then the backup job is started and eventually (see below) the data are deleted from the /archive directory. Since the data are very likely to have an older timestamp than the last bacula backup run, incremental backups do not work for this. So far we handle this by doing a full backup every time and deleting the data from /archive. But what we would like is to keep the data within / archive as long as possible. Is there any way to tell bacula it should backup all new files (new meaning "not already backed up") within this directory, regardless of the timestamp, without doing a full backup? touch(1) is not an option because the timestamps are important information we must not loose.

I can't see any advantage of using one pool per client, but it is possible. We only have fife pools: Archive, Disk, Tape, VM-Images and Scratch. Thats easy to handle and really enough. One thing i can see is, that one pool per client will reserve one drive per backup-job, but this could also be a disadvantage - it is not possible to run many jobs at the same time.

we use bacula in the same way, but with version 2.4.3, so we only use
migration instead of copy job.
Maybe you have the same problem as we have. Performance looks ok, if i
use tools other then bacula to test it.
We assume, that the seek process on disk based volumes not really works.

As you can see, bacula needs 12 minutes to migrate 37MB. Thats becuase
is does not "jump" to the correct file position in the disk volume. It
reads the entire volume from the begining to the end if the job was the
last on it. You can see this with stat sd. Bacula reads the volume but
does not write to

We do full system backups with VSS enabled and restore the whole system from a linux rescue cd with a static bacula client. In the rescue-environment we prepare the target disks (partions and ntfs-format), then we restore the system (only partition c), make the system bootable trough a original windows install cd and start the restored maschine. Then we restore the rest of the system (any other partition) with the original installed bacula-fd. That has worked fine at our tests. Ok, it is not truly implemented "in" bacula, but you will need a rescue cd - in any case.

Bacula will only use one drive per pool, so if you want to write to more
then one drive you have to define several pools and direct the jobs to
this pools.
With the "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" option set to bigger then 1 bacula
will write the jobs simultaniously to the one drive.

Look at the storage-section in the bacula-dir.conf. There you have also
to define "Maximum Concurrent Jobs", e.g:
Storage {
Name = SL500-1
Address = dss-bacula
SD Port = 9103
Password = ""
Device = SL500-1
Media Type = LTO-3
Autochanger = yes
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
}

[Bacula-users] Bacula restore by email ?
Hello, After a few bacula restores, we've found out that a very convenient way of restoring file(s) is to send them via email to the user. Most often the user just wants to compare the file to include whatever modification he did 3 days ago... so overwriting the file(s) isn't good... Is there any way to automatically send a restored file via email ? shell/perl/bacula trick anything is OK here :o) We are 2.2.6 on fedora core 6 Many thanks, -- Sebastian Perkins Responsable Informatique [EMAIL PROTECTED] ALPES CONTROLES 3 impasse des prairies 74940 Annecy le Vieux Tél. 04.50.64.11.46 - Fax. 04.50.64.23.83 http://www.alpes-controles.fr - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula-usersway too large incremental backup...
OK problem solved ! The command list files jobid=NNN helped out a lot to see what was going on, just a bit difficult to see all 40 files... The interesting bit was that 99% of a backup jobid concerned exactly 4 out of 23 shares. Checking the rsyncs with all flags/modifications/etc... the rsync modifications account to less than a 1gb per day. Something MUST be going on on the backup server. After a lot of testing we found out that somebody had installed a shell script to chmod & chgroup files & directories on those 4 directories on the backup server !!! Now bacula is backing up real good... under a Gb per day :o) Differential is also OK. If you use bacula on rsync backups, it works great but don't touch/chmod/chANYTYHING the archives !

[Bacula-users] way too large incremental backup...
Hello, I'm using Bacula 2.2.6 : I have the main client (linux) that is incrementing 50Gb per day ! Out of a possible 270GB for a full backup... Every day, there are over 400.000 files being saved, even during weekends... We have modified the fileset to include only "office/pics/pdf" filetypes, we have gained 9Gb... but this is still not what we're expecting. The files are rsynced from distant sites to a central backup, and bacula is installed a as client on this central backup (so we can get the full/inc/diff backups on LAN). The combined daily upload (from rsync stats) is way below 50Gb. So I've got two questions : 1) How does Bacula check file mods ? Do I have to do something special with rsync (flag/option/...) ? 2) Is there a way to show the list of files being saved from a job/client ? Thanks in advance and Merry Xmas to everybody !

[Bacula-users] WindowsXP EFS - encrypting file system - How can I backup efs-encrypted files?
Hi,
how can I backup efs-encrypted files?
Whether i 'm running bacula-fd as admin, SYSTEM, or my_user, it saves
only the path- and filenames, but not the content of the efs-encrypted
files. Running a restore-job results in zero-byte files.
When running fd as SYSTEM, there are access-denied entries in log (as
expected),
when running fd as my_user, there are *no* warnings in log.

Re: [Bacula-users] backup strategy
Thanks both for the info.
I've been going through the "Maximum Volume Jobs" option with mutiple volumes
for incr & full as in the "automated disk backup" example. Just that I trimmed
everything down to one month (ie just 2 full volumes & 31 incr ones).
With a test situation with 10min retention times between full's ... volumes are
recycling rel nice !
One question remains : do I need differential in my stratrgy ?

David is right. Bacula is not able to clear a part of a volume. She can
only append to a volume or clean it completely. I can recommend to have
one volume for one day (Use duration 23 hours). Bacula will create new
volumes everywhen she needs.

[Bacula-users] backup strategy
Hi,
We are using bacula 2.2.6 with a disk based backup solution. 3 Months into
testing, backups & restores are working.
Here goes the problem : we need to backup 750Gb of data (22 server samba
shares) and guarantee one (maybe two) months of restore data just in case
somebody moves a directory, loses a file, wants lask week's file etc... The
samba shares are basically full of doc/xls/pdf etc...
The backup is a 2 To raid5 disk solution. I'm a bit worried about keeping
control over volumes and disk space. I don't want the volumes to fill up any
further than 1.8To while keeping one or 2 months of history.
We've resolved one problem regarding size by using the compress option :o)
So, our bacula.conf strategy is :
• one full backup per month, plus incremental every other day (no
differential).
• one volume per share (so that we can keep a eye on a fast growing
volume).
• keeping job/file/volume retention to 1 month (maybe 2).
But the volumes just grow... and grow. I've 'volume updated' for retention
periods but the auto-pruning doesn't seem to reduce volume size. For example
after the 2nd month's full backup I thought the volume would be reduced in size
by the 1st month"s full backup size (it's outside the retention period).
Schedule, Volume & Client syntax are :
Schedule {

Re: [Bacula-users] restoration problem
Thanks for the info.
Would this be due to the fact that the file retention period is 30 days +
incremental saves only since the (only) full backup 2 months ago ?
Did the full backup get purged ?
If so, does this mean I have to get a full backup done on a regular basis ?

I don't quite understand... I'm still slightly newbie :o)
Quote from the bacula site (
http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Current_State_Bacula.html#SECTION0054):
"Bacula's Differential and Incremental backups are based on time stamps.
Consequently, if you move files into an existing directory or move a whole
directory into the backup fileset after a Full backup, those files will
probably not be backed up by an Incremental save because they will have old
dates. You must explicitly update the date/time stamp on all moved files (we
have a project to correct this)."
This is the reason why we created a program for our windows-clients that is
checking the files and directories of the backupfolders and if it found some
file with an archiveflag it remove it and set a newer timestemp instead. Not
everybody is happy here if the timestemp changed but it´s better than have no
backup for a long time.
However I don´t know if it is the same in Linux. I thought (after a few tests)
Linux is save :). We don´t use such program or script there. So I´m interessted
if this could be the reason for your problem.
Greetings,

Is it possible that you have put the directory to the destination in a
way that the timestemps did not change? Can you see all files when you
try to select them for restore? I think there is a Problem when you move
files or directories but I thought this problem mainly depends only to
Win-Clients.

I only see 800 files... a lot less than the full directory ! The client is also
Linux based and no changes have been made in the directory structure.

[Bacula-users] restoration problem
Hello
We are using bacula for the first time in restoration mode : bacula
version 2.03 / platform fedora core 6. Bacula has been running w/o save
errors for 2 months.
A test user has asked us to restore an entire directory = what it
contained last friday.
If I go through the restore process (using option 6 to select backup for
a client before a specific time) and mark his directory, restore is OK
BUT, only the modified files of last friday get restored... as if bacula
just restored that jobid.
Our strategy is to use only the "incremental" option to save on a rather
large disk drive (no tapes) to keep the file system. A full backup takes
250 Go of disk space...
Bacula determined that the first incremental save was "full" so we do
have a full backup for reference.
This is what the schedule entry looks like
Schedule {
Name = "WeeklyCycle"
Run = Incremental mon-sun at 23:05
}
Is this correct ? What is going wrong ?
Thanks in advance,

Probably. One of baculas strengths however is great scalability
(we're at 50TB of backup data at the moment), that's why we use it in
favour of other solutions :)

Sometimes it looks to me like bacula starts three jobs, then waits
until *all* of them have finished and starts another round of three.
I am not 100% sure yet, but I guess the other jobs wait "on max
concurrent storage jobs", which I set to four. I have to find a way
to monitor all this.
I did not choose different spool directories for each drive, in my
opinion one would only benefit from this by having a dedicated hard
drive for each tape drive. Am I wrong?
I have yet to find a way to reproduce this behaviour. It's a bit hard
because you only notice this kind of stuff if you have relatively
long running jobs. What I can do is send my configuration so far.

Again, I don't know how your measured. I can spool up to MIN(speed-of- spooling-device, network-speed) and then write to tape with up to approximately 45 MB/s. I configured bacula such that it can run three jobs at the same time, on three devices. What about your database speed?

[Bacula-users] using multiple autochanger resources with one autochanger / "soft-partitioning"
At the moment all my tapes are LTO-2 and I want to switch to LTO-3 tapes. There are three LTO-3 and one LTO-2 drive in my library. The idea is to have a pool "old" that has its own autochanger resource with only the LTO-2 drive and then some other pools (with only LTO-3 tapes in them) that use another autochanger resource with only the LTO-3 drives. I guess all I would have to do is put some queueing/locking code into mtx-changer, right?
