Re: [Bacula-users] {SPAM?} Re: {SPAM?} ULTRIUM-HH6 Block Size Limits with Adaptec 78165 or Other Issue?
I have received a response back from Adaptec about block-size and tape
drives.
All of their controllers have a hard-limit of 256KB. This is an
undocumented limit it appears...

500k to 1Mb seems to be about the point where the gain ends.

You don't need to do that. An older tape will smaller block size will

Hi Drew,
Try installing IBM's tape driver rather than the default one in the
Linux kernel. I have a LTO4 half-height SAS drive and it made a
difference in transfer speeds for me.

Re: [Bacula-users] {SPAM?} ULTRIUM-HH6 Block Size Limits with Adaptec 78165 or Other Issue?
Thank you Alan for the detailed response.
I was unaware of the GPL violations, this is an issue for me and it will
be removed promptly.
The block size I am aiming for was 512KB-1MB and have done extensive
research on tuning. This should also of course be within specification
of bacula-sd.
Because I am currently writing at a 64KB block, I get around 70MB/s of
throughput on a mix of compressible and non-compressible data. Even
changing it to a working 256KB improves what I am writing by about
15MB/s. Changing to any other value causes an immediate Device Or
Resource busy error.
The setup has worked well for years until my storage array doubled in
size. It is taking over a week to do a backup.
This is direct-attached storage so I don't believe the network buffer
should have an effect, right?
I'm not sure I completely understand this statement.
"
You cannot change maximum block sizes on a single volume (Tape). Doing
so is extremely likely to result in an unreadable volume past the point
where the block size has changed (reading older tapes with smaller
maximum block sizes is still ok)
"
My plan was to overwrite all tapes that may have a smaller block size.
It doesn't matter at this time if I temporarily don't have a tape backup
and I have no old archives I am concerned with.
Rewinding the tape and writing an EOF marker and rewinding again should
solve this correct?
To me it seems like a the SAS controller I am connected to but it just
seems so unlikely it isn't able to pass blocks greater than 256KB but I
have no way of verifying this.
The more I write this the more I am convincing myself it probably has
nothing to do with Bacula (rip-off version) or the configuration. I was
just hoping someone has run into something similar before.

The maximum block size for IBM LTO6 drives (HH or full height) is 8MB
(It's usually 16MB for HP drives)

Bareos is not Bacula
(well, it _IS_ Bacula, which someone has tried to repackage and claim
credit for. It is not supported by the Bacula community - and given the
legal antics of the Bareos maintainer, (including egregious GPL
breaches) I would advise you don't bring Bareos problems to this forum -
and further suggest that you should consider uninstalling Bareos.)
Back on the block size topic:
The maximum block size supported by bacula-SD is 2MB. That is sufficient
to get at least 140MB/s write speed on a LTO6 drive for non-compressible
data and upwards of 300MB/s for highly compressible data.
device {
...
Maximum block size = 2M
...
}
Attempting to increase max block size past 2MB will result in errors.
There is no general benefit in doing so in any case (Tested and
verified. I feel that setting larger block sizes should be allowable
even if there's no benefit, as it causes apparent errors when the max
block size settable in Bacula is smaller than the max allowable block
size reported by the tape drives)
Make sure you understand the difference between the block size (writing
to the tape device) and the network buffer size (communications between
-df, -dir and -sd - and needs to be set in all three config files if you
change anything)
device {
...
Maximum Network Buffer Size = 262144
...
}
Increasing the Network buffer size from the default 64kB is advisable to
achieve higher transfer rates on Gb/s or faster networks but there is no
discernable benefit going past 256kB - even on 10Gb/s networks.
You cannot change maximum block sizes on a single volume (Tape). Doing
so is extremely likely to result in an unreadable volume past the point
where the block size has changed (reading older tapes with smaller
maximum block sizes is still ok)
If changing block size in a working system, mark ALL open volumes as
used _before_ attempting any more writes.

I would still do Bacula backups, but only daily so that you have something to send offsite. I mean, how do you expect to restore a system if it dies completely? Do you need to have them working again right away with no real downtime execpt and hour's loss of data?

I was reviewing the documentation. In my case I am not worried about permissions, single user on the windows machine, however it seems to me that turning the portable=yes option on will disable the use of VSS. if I am reading that correctly? I don't care about permissions, but I do want to make sure I use VSS. If that is the case I will stick with it the way it is. I only have a single windows system and would prefer to be able to restore files if needed in event that it goes down, without waiting to get it back online. Not that I have had much downtime on it, recent versions of windows have definitely been more stable. The last rebuild was simply done to upgrade from a 120GB to 480GB SSD drive for the system disk, I put it off until the 1511 update came out so I could reinstall straight to windows 10 instead of installing 8 and updating to windows 10 -- Thanks, Dean E.

Not surprisingly, I'm not dealing with file sizes near 2^63, but I *do* need to back up files that are in the 2^39 range (from filesystems that are in the 2^46 range onto virtual cartridges no larger than 2^43). No, these aren't database files, they're huge chunks of write-once data for which we need archival copies. I'm still debating whether Bacula is the right tool for the job in this case. Network-based copies to geographically different locations is a non-starter, so it's got to be a variant of sneaker-net. On the SD output end, if you do not limit your Volume size, there will surely be some problems at 2^63. Of course, who would ever want to write such a large volume? On that note, I've traditionally gone with volume sizes in the ~500MB (2^29) range (for disk stores), but in this case that can push the volume count in the catalog to more than 512k entries once a minimum number of offsite copies have been made. Have you seen installations with that many volumes? If so, are there any known issues other than catalog tuning? I'm thinking that a larger volume size (and consequently smaller volume count) could be warranted (at least for the full pool), but I'm wondering if there have been many that have passed volume sizes past 2GB or 4GB and if there have been any issues in doing so. My gut is saying to go with 2GB volume sizes, but I'm curious. (Considering that my first hard drive cost me $4000 and was 40MB, all the above just sounds crazy.) Devin I have three systems two of which are using disk backup, then copy to tape both of those are running on CentOS with 25G volume sizes with 100 volumes in the disk pool. Going on two years of service for both machines, haven't had an issue yet. The third system is using 46G File volumes been running for 4 years without a problem. This one just does disk only. I wouldn't worry about Bacula's ability, but more the capabilities of the file system and operating system its running on. My volume sizes were chosen to make sure I could handle my desired retention time, too large of a volume and the last job may take too long to expire allowing the volume to be recycled, before I run out of other volumes. -- Thanks, Dean E.

This can happen if the end of the tape has been reached and the drive does not permit writing the final EOF. As mentioned above, the only way to know for sure is to try to read the last files written to the tape. Given the uncertainty, it is not really justified to mark everything as failed, because it is extremely unlikely that the whole tape is bad or unreadable.

Re: [Bacula-users] [SPAM] Bacula TimeMachine type SOHO config?
Simon J Mudd sjm...@pobox.com kirjoitti viestissä news:20091206082523.ga...@mad06.wl0.org... Hello, I've been using Bacula for some time for home use, and trying to get a working TimeMachine type configuration working. That is I'd like to configure bacula to store to an external hard disk using a number of fixed sizes files, occupying up to a certain amount of disk space. In my case 100 x 2GB files. I'd like to auto label new files and purge old ones automatically to make space if needed. This sounds like a simple recipe which is appropriate for a large number of SOHO type situations. I know Bacula can do more, but to minimise intervention this looks nice. However, I don't quite get this to work. I've had issues with getting the auto-label to always work, and also the auto-expire. I wonder if anyone can look at my configuration or offer an alternative to do this? I guess Time Machine is something Apple-like, and I don't know nothing about it but the name. But if what you told is the essential, that is the disk usage strategy, it shouldn't be a problem though minor differences might exist. I didn't notice Volume Retention specified in your Pool config. I controls how soon after the last write the volumes can be recycled. Since you make full backup once a month, this should be set to the minimum of more than one month (eg. 40 days) to make sure you'll always have at least one (I'd seriously recommend more, at least two) full backup(s) available. After this period, if necessary, Bacula _can_ recycle the existing volumes. However, actual recycle won't happen until really needed to free the previously used volumes, but it can't happen before this time limit has expired. Also remember that modifying the pool parameters in the conf does not automatically apply to the existing volumes, only to the new ones created thereafter. To make the existing volumes to obey the new values, you'll need to use the update pool / update volumes from pool commands from the bacula console.

Hello, I've been using Bacula for some time for home use, and trying to get a working TimeMachine type configuration working. That is I'd like to configure bacula to store to an external hard disk using a number of fixed sizes files, occupying up to a certain amount of disk space. In my case 100 x 2GB files. I'd like to auto label new files and purge old ones automatically to make space if needed. This sounds like a simple recipe which is appropriate for a large number of SOHO type situations. I know Bacula can do more, but to minimise intervention this looks nice. However, I don't quite get this to work. I've had issues with getting the auto-label to always work, and also the auto-expire. I wonder if anyone can look at my configuration or offer an alternative to do this? I guess Time Machine is something Apple-like, and I don't know nothing about it but the name. But if what you told is the essential, that is the disk usage strategy, it shouldn't be a problem though minor differences might exist. Yes, sorry. It's basically a very simple application which comes with the Mac OS X. You plug in an external disk and it will backup as much as possible filling up the disk. The implementation is quite different but for most people that's all they want: to designate a location/size for backups, and then to keep as many backups as possible in that location. When the disk space fills up the oldest backups are automatically thrown away. I didn't notice Volume Retention specified in your Pool config. I controls how soon after the last write the volumes can be recycled. Since you make full backup once a month, this should be set to the minimum of more than one month (eg. 40 days) to make sure you'll always have at least one (I'd seriously recommend more, at least two) full backup(s) available. After this period, if necessary, Bacula _can_ recycle the existing volumes. However, actual recycle won't happen until really needed to free the previously used volumes, but it can't happen before this time limit has expired. Yes, but that's what I'm trying to avoid. I realise that I MUST have sufficient space really for at least 2 full backups plus some extra for incrementals but I don't want to worry about the details. Therefore I want to configure You said you don't want to worry about the details. However, one such very strong detail is the schedule you already have specified, it says to run a full backup once a month. Required retention time is closely related to this, and needs to be specified too. Since now you haven't specified the volume retention, Bacula uses its internal default which is one year, 365 days. You have to specify a shorter volume retention time if you want to be able to recycle the volumes sooner. I don't see why specifying this would be a thing to avoid. At least it would be a step getting closer to functionality what you want, unless I have seriously misunderstood something. Now it expects that you specifically want to forbid recycling volumes under one year of age, and therefore keeps asking fore more volumes. Just try setting it to 40 days, for example, update (using console update command) the existing volumes to obey this value, and give it a try. I guess then you would be very close to what you want: the oldest volumes will get recycled one by one when new storage space is needed, as long that volume is at least 40 days (or whatever you specify) old. If you can not use that long time (40 days), you could change your schedule to run full backup eg. weekly, and set volume retention time to 2 weeks, for example. This way you might need less space for the non-full backup storage. When playing with the volume retention, be careful not to specify it too close to the full-backup-cycle period. Just as an example, running a full weekly, and specifying volume retention to 8 days might sound like a working solution. But if something goes wrong with the full backup, there has to be enough time to solve the problem before the previous full exipires -otherwise it could get recycled before you have re-run the failed one, and in this case a system crash with no full backup at all might be a nightmare. Currently, there is no way to specify the retention time in terms of succesfull full backups, but I recall having seen this kind of feature request. Btw, you can use list media command to see the status of the existing volumes. There you can see the current volume retention times, and verify they'll get changed (after update command) according to the conf change. The times shown in the list are always in seconds, independently from the units you'll use to specify them

Look into the manual, configuring the director, pools... you'll find a setting called Label Format. Which is what you need, because currently, Bacula does not know what sort of label to create. Also, when using automatic labeling, you should make sure the space the volumes can use is limited. I'd recommend to limit the volume file size, and the number of volumes in the pool.

Re: [Bacula-users] !! SPAM Suspect : SPAM-URL-DBL !! Fwd: How to understand this error
How to know a job is ended ? Is there a way to tell Bacula to use a compression something for the tape, since they are 1.300 Gbytes capable ? If you are putting more than 500 GB on a tape compression is definitely on. So the question is why don't you get 1.3 TB? The answer is that the drive is a 500GB drive and you will get 1.3TB only if your data compressed 2.6:1 which in the real world is very unlikely to actually happen unless you are backing up only text files. I typically get 1.5:1 with my data because a lot of my data is already compressed and compressing data a second time does not usually yield a good compression rate on the second go. In a lot of cases it actually works against you and you get expansion. John - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Well, everyone is entitled to his opinion. In my case, it is not that I cannot be bothered to subscribe as you seem suggest. This should be obvious from the amount of time and effort I put into Bacula. Rather, what holds me back from subscribing to other lists is overloading myself with even more email -- so I appreciate open lists, and would like to keep Bacula operating that way. It appears the lists are run by mailman, subscribers can simply tell the list to not send them any mail if they don't want it, or unsubscribe even more easily than they easily subscribed (as the unsubscribe link comes in every message). There are a lot of users out there who are struggling to learn Linux, and it is not always so obvious for them how to subscribe/unsubscribe -- at least judging by the number of illfated attempts by some to remove themselves from the lists I maintain (9 or 10). -- Best regards, Kern ( /\ V_V --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?

tir, 17,.05.2005 kl. 11.50 +0200, skrev Kern Sibbald: Hello, Notwithstanding my previous remarks about spam, I have noticed that there is more and more on this list. After thinking about it for a while, I can implement a script that automatically rejects all email by nonsubscribed users (it also rejects all other email held for administrative approval). So, what I am suggesting as a *possibility* is: - Modify the bacula-users (and probably bacula-devel) list to be subscriber only. - Nightly purge all email held for administrative approval -- i.e. all emails from nonsubscribers. This would be done blindly by a script. What I don't like about this is that some users (such as myself) don't want to subscribe to lists even to get help, so their email will probably be lost, or at best, they will be confused and frustrated. In a sense, it is reducing our service ... At the current levels, the spam does not really bother me, but I can understand that it does bother a good number of you, so I have no problem changing the list as noted above. Before embarking on this change, I would appreciate some feedback from those who are concerned -- you. It _seems_ that we have to choose between two evils here. Beeing able to post to lists without subscribing is nice, however my view on this whole situation is this: 1 - Spam is bad. 2 - Forcing ppl to subscribe is not always good, BUT if a person gets help on a list, or wants help, he/she should be prepared to give something back. If a person subscribes and recieves mail regularly, not only does his or her skills improve with the knowledge provided, but it also increases the chance that he/she will reply to someone and help out. It's sort of a The more, the merrier-principle. =) I opt for only subscribers beeing able to post only. - Christopher --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?

Kern, I vote for the subscriber only list. Generally speaking I do not subscribe to lists due to all the volume, but this seems like a pretty good lists, I have gotten many more questions resolved just by being subscribed, than posting to the forums and checking every few days or so.

Hello, I get a good number of requests to change the list behavior to mung the Reply-To. It might perhaps help me avoid getting two copies of most emails I send that get answered, and help those that forget to use the Respond to all, but as the first of the articles points out, it can create a number of problems.
