Re: [Bacula-users] Vista 64 bit and sparse files

2010-04-01 Thread uhog-v9e4
OK, I may have just found this. Running another 3rd party tool "windirstat" 
with admin privileges uncovered a bunch of files in the 
/tmp/bacula-restore/System Volume Information directory, about 34Gb to be 
exact. I have never excluded this dir on my 32-bit XP clients and have not had 
a problem and obviously there's something strange going on here because if I 
run the same tool on the production client with admin priv it reports /System 
Volume Information consuming practically no space. Very odd. Anyway, I will 
exclude these and run another backup this weekend and see how it goes. Thanks 
everyone.

OK, what I ended up doing here was creating a new 64-bit Vista virtual machine 
from scratch and restored my production client to this VM in the 
/tmp/bacula-restores directory. Before the restore ran, I was using just a 
touch over 10Gb. When the restore was complete I had over half the disk showing 
used but only about one fourth showing allocated. The /tmp/bacula-restores 
directory shows about 9Gb in use which is about what I expect, but look at this

A backup of a Windows computer uses the BackupRead API to generate the
data to go to the SD. BackupRead reads a single stream of data that
includes the file attributes, ownership, acls, data, Alternate Data
Streams, and sparse information. Bacula shouldn't need to know or care
if the file is sparse or not, it just backs up the data that BackupRead
returns.

I wouldn't expect that 'sparse=yes' would have any useful impact unless
there is a bug in which case it will probably break things.

Can you restore the job somewhere else (another windows machine) and see
if the restored files match up with the backed up files? Look out for
any restore errors that say that the file sizes don't match.

[Bacula-users] Vista 64 bit and sparse files

2010-03-29 Thread uhog-v9e4
Hi everyone,

I am using Bacula 3.02 client and server to backup several machines on my home 
network. It has been working great. Recently, I added my first Vista machine 
which also happens to be 64-bit and now, although the backups complete, it 
takes hours and the statistics are nonsense. I can only guess that sparse files 
are at the root cause here, but cannot figure out how to track this down.

Here is my fileset definition:
FileSet {
 Name = fb-802-fileset
 Include {
  Options {
   signature = MD5
   sparse = yes
   Exclude = yes
   IgnoreCase = yes
   checkfilechanges = yes
   # Exclude directories full of lots and lots of useless little files
   WildDir = "[A-Z]:/Users/*/Cookies"
...
  }
 File = "C:/"
 File = "C:/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/hosts"
 File = "E:/"
 }

I added the "sparse = yes" statement hoping it would help but it has not.

The strange thing is that the "estimate" command does not show the excessive 
space consumed.

And here is what a #list media pool=90m shows. Note that these are 120m DDS 
tapes with a native storage capacity of 4Gb so obviously this can not be 
correct.
#list media pool=90m
...
|  38 | 120m_1_2   | Full  |   1 |  8,555,774,976 |   68 |
7,776,000 |   1 |2 | 1 | DDS-3 | 2010-03-01 14:59:13 |
|  39 | 120m_1_3   | Full  |   1 | 13,363,144,704 |   44 |
7,776,000 |   1 |3 | 1 | DDS-3 | 2010-03-10 22:02:52 |
|  40 | 120m_1_4   | Full  |   1 | 66,590,705,664 |   99 |
7,776,000 |   1 |4 | 1 | DDS-3 | 2010-03-19 20:08:02 |
|  41 | 120m_1_5   | Full  |   1 | 37,345,867,776 |   58 |
7,776,000 |   1 |5 | 1 | DDS-3 | 2010-03-26 17:05:10 |

This is pretty typical of one of the backups I am talking about:
#list jobid=457
+---+---+-+--+---+--++---+
| JobId | Name  | StartTime   | Type | Level | JobFiles | 
JobBytes   | JobStatus |
+---+---+-+--+---+--++---+
|   457 | fb-802-backup | 2010-03-23 17:30:03 | B| I |1,422 | 
15,581,607,358 | T |
+---+---+-+--+---+--++---+
#

Yet here is the estimate which is about what I would expect.
#estimate job=fb-802-backup fileset=fb-802-fileset level=Incremental 
storage=C1557A pool=90m
Using Catalog "MyCatalog"
Connecting to Client fb-802-fd at fb-802.mydomain.mrc:9102
2000 OK estimate files=1424 bytes=1,088,634,152

Doing an "estimate listing ..." does not really show anything unusual. The 
biggest files I can see in the list are related to my email at about 250Mb so I 
am not even sure how to identify the file(s) I might exclude if there is no way 
around the sparse file issue. Again, assuming this IS a sparse file issue which 
it really looks like it is to me.

Any ideas???

Thanks,
Mike

  Subject: Vista 64 - Bacula 2.4.2, VSS and symlink/junction issues


  Hello, Bacula Users.  I apologize for adding yet another thread to this 
topic.  I've seen a number of threads that make mention of these Vista 
problems, and they seem to drop off sometime around mid-2007.  Yet, for me the 
issues persist, so I'm perplexed.  If someone has a link to the definitive 
answer(s) to these issues, I'd appreciate your reply.

  For the client in question, I am using Backula version 2.4.2 on Vista 
Ultimate 64-bit.  I've been using Bacula for a while now, and have come to 
enjoy its reliability and configurability.  Unfortunately, I'm in an 
environment where I must also support Windows, including Microsoft's latest 
proof that they don't understand upward compatibility: Vista.  Bacula seems to 
handle the various Linux flavors in the network, and even the XP client seems 
quite reliable.  However, with Vista (especially Vista 64-bit) we are seeing a 
significant set of problems.

  The most costly issue (for me) is the monkey wrench that I started to see 
surface in this forum about a year and a half ago, where the "junctions" 
(provided by M$ to point directories to legacy directory names) cause the FD to 
bail out with messages like:
27-Oct 02:05 m1330-fd JobId 414:  Could not open directory

Data/Application Data: ERR=The name of the file cannot be resolved by the 
system.
  Not long after this message began to appear on internet, I saw a message 
(22-Jun-2007) from Kern Sibbald saying that the problem should be solved with a 
few lines of code.  I've not found much of consequence on this topic in the 
sixteen months since that time, but the problem persists (at least for me).  
Have I missed some key version of the software, or pointer designed to help get 
past this error?  (It is a big deal in spite of the following observation by 
Mr. Sibbald: "However, if I am not mistaken, it *is* backing up these 
junctions, and will probably restore them correctly...")   For me, my backups 
fail consistently with the following:
27-Oct 02:17 m1330-fd JobId 414: Fatal error: Too many errors.
27-Oct 02:17 luke-sd JobId 414: Job write elapsed time = 00:11:54, Transfer 
rate = 7.516 M bytes/second
  By the way, exclusions do not seem to help resolve this (or maybe I don't 
know the proper trick).  I have the following in my fileset, but to no avail: 

  FileSet {
Name = "VistaSet"
Enable VSS = yes
Include {
  Options {
WildDir = "c:/Users/*/Application Data/Application Data"

} 
  File = "c:/Users/dennis/AppData/"
  File = "c:/pers-data/"
 
  Options {
signature = MD5
compression = GZIP
onefs = no
}
  }
}

  In spite of this exclusion, I still receive (thousands of) messages like the 
example from above.

  The other issue is VSS.  I've seen threads that indicate this issue was 
solved long ago (cannot find an example at the moment though - sorry)... but 
the most recent mention I find of this is from August 8 this year, when Kern 
Sibbald indicated that a new build was ready - but then the trail runs cold.  
Is there any hope of regaining VSS support on 64-bit

[Bacula-users] Vista 64 and VSS

2007-11-28 Thread Douglas Schmidt
Bump and update.

I have upgraded to 2.2.6 client but still having the same issues.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Douglas Schmidt


Mon, 08 Oct 2007 07:05:44 -0700

I'm attempting to backup a Vista 64 workstation with Bacula 2.2.4and
getting errors for VSS on the machine.  This is the first Vista 64
device I have attempted to use with Bacula.  I am running multiple Vista 32
and XP clients with no errors.

The error message:

06-Oct 23:30 Schmidt-hp8150-fd: Schmidt-HP8150.2007-10-06_23 .05.05 Warning:
VSS was not initialized properly. VSS support is disabled. ERR=An attempt
was made to reference a token that does not exist.

Enable VSS = on is set in the fileset resource.

In Windows Event Viewer/Windows Logs/Applications I get the following errors
at the same time:


Volume Shadow Copy Service error: The VSS Coordinator class is not
registered. This may be caused due to a setup failure or as a result of an
application's installer or uninstaller.

Operation:

Instantiating VSS server
 ---
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine
CoCreateInstance. hr = 0x80040154.

Operation:

Instantiating VSS server
-

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the client multiple times.  I have also
verified in Windows Services that all of the COM+ services are running.

I Googled the Windows error messages and there is a fair bit of discussion
out there regarding various backup applications and Vista 64.  Most of it
centers around Vista 64 not being capable of using the 32 bit requester.

Is anyone else out there experiencing the same issues?  Or does anyone have
a workaround?

For the Bacula development community: If there is a need for testers for
Vista 32, Vista 64, XP or Linux, I am interested in assisting.

Thanks,

[Bacula-users] Vista 64

2007-10-10 Thread Douglas Schmidt
Does the Windows FD work on Vista 64?

I'm getting VSS errors and from the postings on the internet it appears a
number of backup applications have this issue.

[Bacula-users] Vista 64 and VSS

2007-10-08 Thread Douglas Schmidt
I'm attempting to backup a Vista 64 workstation with Bacula 2.2.4and
getting errors for VSS on the machine.  This is the first Vista 64
device I have attempted to use with Bacula.  I am running multiple Vista 32
and XP clients with no errors.

The error message:

06-Oct 23:30 Schmidt-hp8150-fd: Schmidt-HP8150.2007-10-06_23 .05.05 Warning:
VSS was not initialized properly. VSS support is disabled. ERR=An attempt
was made to reference a token that does not exist.

Enable VSS = on is set in the fileset resource.

In Windows Event Viewer/Windows Logs/Applications I get the following errors
at the same time:


Volume Shadow Copy Service error: The VSS Coordinator class is not
registered. This may be caused due to a setup failure or as a result of an
application's installer or uninstaller.

Operation:

Instantiating VSS server

Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the client multiple times.  I have also
verified in Windows Services that all of the COM+ services are running.

I Googled the Windows error messages and there is a fair bit of discussion
out there regarding various backup applications and Vista 64.  Most of it
centers around Vista 64 not being capable of using the 32 bit requester.

Is anyone else out there experiencing the same issues?  Or does anyone have
a workaround?

For the Bacula development community: If there is a need for testers for
Vista 32, Vista 64, XP or Linux, I am interested in assisting.

Thanks,
