Bacula doesn't look at the files in the catalog when doing a Diff/Incr backup,
only the date of the last backup compared to the mtime and ctime of each file.

This is safe on unix, because (except for newly mounted filesystems) there is
no API to set the ctime of a file.

So it looks like the final word on this is that it is OK to add new
directories to a fileset (or, a more common example in my case, new
filesystems) provided that they are really NEW directories. If I mkfs a
filesystem and add it to my backup, ignore fileset changes ought to be
OK. I suppose a fix could be that if you are newly adding a directory to
a backup and do not wish to do a full backup, you should touch all of
the files in that directory. The question is, what is the lightest touch
one can do that will cause these files to be added.

I would love to hear an explanation about this problem, really... I know
that that is the way it is and that it might be a lot of work to change
it, but it seems to the casual observer that if a directory is currently
in the fileset (even if it was just added), and that directory contains
files, and Bacula does NOT contain any version of them in the catalog,
they should get backed up. Reliance upon filesystem timestamps is
probably not a great idea because timestamps can be played with. Are
they really necessary in a system that uses a catalog?

Ok, now I did the following:

1.)
* created /tmp/bacula-test/dir3/foo3
* didn't change the fileset
* run an incr backup

Terminated Jobs:
 JobId  Level Files  Bytes Status   FinishedName
 
236  Incr  0  0 OK   12-Jul-07 11:11 x 

That's what I expected.

2.) 
* added /tmp/bacula-test/dir3/ to the fileset and reload the confg

237  Incr  0  0 OK   12-Jul-07 11:16 x 

The new files were not backed up!

3.) 
* created /tmp/bacula-test/dir5/foo5
* added /tmp/bacula-test/dir5/ to the fileset and reload the confg

238  Incr  2  0 OK   12-Jul-07 11:21 x


It seems that files that were present at a previous backup are not
backed up after adding the files to the fileset.

Re: [Bacula-users] Any FileSet change determine a Full backup

2007-07-12 Thread Troy Daniels
One question,

Did /tmp/bacula-test/dir2 contain files created/modified before job 234?

And if so, did Bacula back them up?

Imagine this scenario:

1) /tmp/bacula-test/dir2 is created and files copied into it.
2) Full Job 234 runs and does a full backup of /tmp/bacula-test/dir1
3) More files are added to /tmp/bacula-test/dir2
4) Fileset is updated to include /tmp/bacula-test/dir2
5) Incr Job 235 runs.

Will job 235 only backup files created/modified since the last full 
backup? Or is Bacula smart enough to recognise it's never backed this 
directory up at all before and include all of it's contents.

Based on the following snippet from the docs, I suspect the former:

 "We strongly recommend against
 setting this directive to yes, since doing so may cause you to
 have an incomplete set of backups."

Cheers,


Troy.

I did this with 2 directories.

FileSet {
  Name = "-test"
  Ignore FileSet Changes = yes
  Include {
Options {
  signature = MD5
}
File = /tmp/bacula-test/dir1
File = /tmp/bacula-test/dir2 <<-- I added this after jobid 234, and did a

  }
}

Terminated Jobs:
 JobId  Level Files  Bytes Status   FinishedName

   235  Incr  2  0 OK   12-Jul-07 10:15

Has anyone done a test that verifies exactly what this does?

If I add a new directory to my fileset, and I have this directive turns
on, do the new files get backed up as part of the incremental?

I have personally been doing as Craig said -- adding new major fileset
changes near the full backup... but it seems to me that this is not
dangerous in all of the cases that I can think of... Here's one I am
just about to encounter:

1. Add new FS to machine
2. Add new FS to Bacula FileSet
3. Next day, IgnoreFileSetChanges = yes, does my new filesystem get
backed up or does it not?

Re: [Bacula-users] Any FileSet change determine a Full backup

2007-07-11 Thread Julien
from the docs:

Ignore FileSet Changes = 
Normally, if you modify the FileSet Include or Exclude lists,
the next backup will be forced to a Full so that Bacula can
guarantee that any additions or deletions are properly saved. 

If this directive is set to yes, any changes you make to the
FileSet Include or Exclude lists, will not force a Full during
subsequent backups.

The default is no, in which case, if you change the Include or
Exclude, Bacula will force a Full backup to ensure that
everything is properly backed up. We strongly recommend against
setting this directive to yes, since doing so may cause you to
have an incomplete set of backups.

having recently experienced that same issue, I can answer that one...no

Therefore, I only make changes to the FileSet on days that the 'Full'
backup set is to be run and restart the bacula-dir daemon prior to the
time.

That behavior affects changes to the FileSet whether they are Include or
Exclude selectors.

[Bacula-users] Any FileSet change determine a Full backup

2007-07-11 Thread Zeratul

Hi

Every time when I'm doing a change in the FileSet for a client, the next
backup is upgraded to Full from Incremental. There is any posibility to avoid
this behavior? Sometimes the changes are really small but the full backup
takes a lot of space and time. Any idea will be appreciated. 

Thanks.

Daniel
