Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: bacula
When bacula is installed, the default is to use sqlite3, and the default
configuration for this database (at least) is broken, with respect to
the catalog backup job.
This error will always be returned:
19-May 23:11 theory-dir: RunBefore: /usr/bin/sqlite3: unknown option:
-u<user>.db
19-May 23:11 theory-dir: RunBefore: Use -help for a list of options.
19-May 23:11 theory-dir: BackupCatalog.2007-05-19_23.10.00 Fatal error:
RunBeforeJob error: ERR=Child exited with code 1
Also, a (very difficult to remove) file "-u<user>.db" will be created in
/var/lib/bacula. (I wasn't aware that backslash-escaping was broken in
most shell commands (i.e. rm, mv, chmod) until I tried to remove this
file. Go ahead, create one and try deleting it.)
The problem starts here, in the "BackupCatalog" job definition:
# Backup the catalog database (after the nightly save)
Job {
Name = "BackupCatalog"
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
Level = Full
FileSet="Catalog"
Schedule = "WeeklyCycleAfterBackup"
# This creates an ASCII copy of the catalog
RunBeforeJob = "/etc/bacula/scripts/make_catalog_backup -u<user> -p<password>"
# This deletes the copy of the catalog
RunAfterJob = "/etc/bacula/scripts/delete_catalog_backup"
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/BackupCatalog.bsr"
Priority = 11 # run after main backup
}
The "RunBeforeJob" passes "-u<user>" as $1, and this is not what the
sqlite3 case in that script expects.
Simply passing "bacula" instead of "-u<user> -p<password>" would fix
this problem. So would modifying the make_catalog_backup script, by
changing the case for sql to simply hardcode "bacula" for $1 (line 17).
