[Bacula-users] bacula-Backup (Full) Job not doing anything
Hello, I'm coming back after hiatus, and I'm currently troubleshooting something I've not found online or crossed before. I have a bacula backup job that has worked for the last year or so, but after changing the bacula-director.conf file to reduce the max volume size from 250G to 25G (to back up far less), and remove some directories that we no longer wanted to back up, the job starts, but never goes beyond that. Status the client is successful and shows the job running, creation of the Media Volume is successful, and no errors. However, the job sits indefinitely at 0Bytes. Volume is in Append state, and I've even re-installed bacula-fd on the client. Any ideas on how to find what the job is waiting for? Thanks in advance!!

Fixed. Restarted bacula-sd on the director (after stopping bacula-director). There was a traceback when doing this, but after restarting bacula-sd and then bacula-director, this seems to have corrected itself.

Re: [Bacula-users] Client side FS detection
So I managed a bare-metal restore, but still requires either static-bacula-fd or bacula-fd with library tools. Compiling bacula-fd withis --disable-libtool gives me a No such file or directory, which indicates that there is a missing library. So, I know now that the issue I'm having is simply with GZIP. Bacula gives us the ability to back up directories (even /) under GZIP, but if I try to bare-metal restore, the error is that GZIP is not supported on this client. Is there a way to compile static-bacula-fd with GZIP ability? Thanks!! On Wed, Jan 16, 2013 at 4:50 AM, Florian Heigl florian.he...@gmail.comwrote: Hi all, I'm aware this must be sort of an FAQ. I just failed to find good examples in my searches. What I'm looking for is how others solved listing the filesystems on a client using a client-side command that is configured on the dir. My goal is to backup everything local on a system, but the standard example of looking for i.e. mounts from hda and hdb is not good. For the sake of an example, lets say the individual servers could be running FreeBSD or Linux and could be using udev to rename their disks, or could be attaching more using iSCSI. One idea I can think of is using a list of filesystem types that matter. That way you can handle most things and also exclude cluster filesystems like ocfs2 that should best be backed up with a different job and separate fd. On the other hand this idea might break if someone uses an esoteric zbcdfs which i'm not expecting in my list of good filesystems. How have you gone about solving this?

[Bacula-users] GZIP not supported on this Client
Hello, I'm not 100% my last request made the list, or if there were simply no known answers or others who experienced this, so my apologies for the latter two. I'm trying a bare-metal recovery of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with Bacula (static-bacula-fd) using the method described in the Bacula documentation, but I'm seeing an error: Warning: GZIP is not supported on this client. Bacula Console states the restore was successful, but no files show up on the target system. Is there a proper way to boot the system from Rescue Broken System mode, start the static Bacula daemon, and recover the system that wasn't show in the docs? I've also tried installing the base OS, then Bacula-fd, then restore full system, but if I do that even root can no longer log into the system (corrupted pam.d?). Has anyone run into this and know what I'm missing? I know there's a right way, or Bacula wouldn't be so successful. Thanks in advance!! Brian P.S.

Re: [Bacula-users] GZIP not supported on this Client
Yeah, I subscribed and attempted to email the list there. I think my timing was bad. Ok, so one thing I'll try is to Install the base system, then bacula-fd, restore the system, then attempt to reset the root passwd while I'm SSH'd to the system before getting kicked out. Will see what that does. But for the static-bacula-fd compiled with GZIP, I'd like to see if I can fix that so I know bare-metal would be an option. Thanks!

That's what I uncovered as well. I'm sure this is a simple thing I'm missing. Unfortunately, we use GZIP for backups from even before I started doing this. I compiled as: *./configure--prefix=/usr \* * --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc/bacula \* * --with-scriptdir=/etc/bacula --enable-smartalloc \* * --enable-client-only –enable-static-client-only --enable- * * static-fd --disable-libtool* *make* Then I grabbed the ~/src/filed/static-bacula-fd and a valid bacula-fd.conf and copied them to a USB stick. I'm just not sure how to tell if the static-bacula-fd daemon was compiled with GZIP. Is there a way to tell? Or, is there a way I can specify where libz.so files are located when starting the static-bacula-fd daemon? Thanks!!

That's unfortunate, but my guess is the solution is to create/restore a backup that isn't GZIP compressed or to build a new client that includes support. *From*: brconflict [mailto:brconfl...@gmail.com] *Sent*: Tuesday, January 15, 2013 09:33 AM *To*: Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net *Subject*: [Bacula-users] GZIP not supported on this Client Hello, I'm not 100% my last request made the list, or if there were simply no known answers or others who experienced this, so my apologies for the latter two.

[Bacula-users] static-bacula-fd with GZIP
Hello, I'm relatively new to this, but here's my question. I also apologize, if you see a duplicate email: How do I compile a *static-bacula-fd* daemon with the GZIP functionality (does --enable-client-only do this)? Or how can I fix the following warning? Bacula Console reports successful restore for a Bare-Metal machine, but has a *Warning: GZIP not supported on this client* or similar error. As a result, none of the files are actually restored. What I'm doing: 1) I placed a compiled static-bacula-fd and bacula-fd.conf ona USB thumb drive. 2) I booted Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server from CD-R in Rescue a Broken System mode. 3) I dropped to a root prompt without mounting the server's own hard drive or USB drive as the root system. I assume this leaves the OS in memory only. 4) I mounted the USB drive under /mnt/usb, and mounted the freshly formatted hard drive as /mnt/hd. 5) *chroot /mnt/usb /static-bacula-fd -c /bacula.conf*, which successfully starts the static-bacula-fd daemon. 6) If I go to the Bacula Director in the BAT GUI tool and Status the client. All is OK. 7) I then, Restore some files (nothing specific) to /mnt/hd on the target system. The Console shows the Warning above, and completes the Restore, but the target doesn't show the restored files. NOTE: Nightly Incremental and Full backups do work on this machine with no errors or issues. Disclaimer: I'm attempting to perform a full restore of a bare-metal system. I tried installing the base Ubuntu 10.0.4 LTS install, then restore the system, but this seems to jack up pam.d which, once I test logging in, kicks me out and I can't even log in as root.
