Re: [Bacula-users] Advice needed on Linux backup strategy to LTO-4 tape
rorycl schrieb: I'm going to cross-post this text on the Amanda and Bacula lists. Apologies in advance if you see this twice. Our company is about to provide centralised backups for several pools of backup data of between 1 and 15TB in size. Each pool changes daily but backups to tape will only occur once a month for each pool. The backup tape format is to be LT04 and we have a second-hand Dell PowerVault 124T 16 tape autoloader to work with currently. Backup from a pool may be taken off a Linux LVM (or hopefully soon a BTRFS) snapshot ensuring that the source data does not change during the backup process. We have the possibility of pre-preparing backup or compressed images if this is advisable. An important aspect of the system is that the tapes should be readable for 12 years, by other parties if necessary. From this point of view we like the idea of providing a CD with each tape set of the software needed to extract the contents, together with a listing of the enclosed files in a UTF8 text file. We will be required to audit each backup set by successfully extracting files from tape. ... If you want to keep the data 12 years, you may have to copy these LTO-4 tapes to a next generation LTO-X media during that time. The durability of LTO-4 tapes is up to 30 years - in theory. So beside bacula you have to find a place where you can keep the tapes under the right conditions (temperatur, humidity...). I just had a bunch of 40 LTO-4 tapes that had problems during backups (or worse - only during the verify job afterwards). All from the same production date. So my trust in tapes is not that good anymore... Ralf -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Re: [Bacula-users] Timeout (?) problems with some Full backups
Thanks very much for the help everyone, I do appreciate it. And quite possibly - you've fixed it :) From the top: John Drescher wrote: I would make the heartbeat interval much shorter. Thinking that this might be a good idea, I dropped all the Heartbeat Intervals to 1 minute and left the same backup to run again along with the usual overnight backups. (hooray for bash, I can push a new bacula-fd.conf to all the servers in less than 2 minutes!) As it was the end of the day for me, I thought letting Bacula do it's stuff in peace and taking a fresh look this morning would be best. I assume that a 1 minute heartbeat won't be too detrimental to the network - compared to the flood of backup data that's coming into the same server? (I run the Dir and SD on the same server) I'll show the results below... Also I am interested on why the backup rate is this slow. Slow network? This particular machine is a VM on a quite highly loaded host. We put lower priority, less demanding, VM hosts together on one host in order to give more resources to higher priority tasks. The effective CPU speed in the VM is quite low, so I think that the compression which the bacula-fd task performs on the data is a rate-limiting step. We *can* get line-speed transfers from other servers, it just happens that this one is a little slower! Josh Fisher wrote: Something is dropping the Dir-FD connection. A router in between FD and Dir, perhaps. Yes, it seems that something is dropping the connection. For peace of mind I'll have a word with our networking engineer as to what the current connection timeout values are on the hardware I don't directly control. It's also occured to me that I'll have to check what the current tcp timeout settings are on the server - maybe a recent update changed them and I didn't notice...? (Full backups have been running OK for a few months prior to my current problems!) However, it might be moot after last night's attempts with a 1 minute heartbeat (see below). John Lockard wrote: While the job is running, keep an eye on the system which houses your MySQL database and make sure that it isn't filling up a partition with temp data. I was running into a similar problem and needed to move my mysql_tmpdir (definable in /etc/my.cnf) to another location. I'd never even considered that! We're using Postgres for the db, the temp directory for that is currently /var/lib/postgresql/8.3/main/base/pgsql_tmp and has 33Gb free. I don't think that it's the problem this time, but I'll certainly have to keep it in mind in the future... OK - the results.

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula 3.0.2 fileset file-list on the fly ?
Hello,
Clark Hartness wrote:
I am attempting to send a list of files to Bacula from the Client using
this syntax described in the manual:
Any file-list item preceded by a less-than sign () will be taken to be
a file. This file will be read on the Director's machine at the time the
Job starts, and the data will be assumed to be a list of directories or
files, one per line, to be included. The names should start in column 1
and should not be quoted even if they contain spaces. This feature
allows you to modify the external file and change what will be saved
without stopping and restarting Bacula as would be necessary if using
the @ modifier noted above. For example:
Include {
Options { signature = SHA1 }
File = /home/files/local-filelist
}
If you precede the less-than sign () with a backslash as in \, the
file-list will be read on the Client machine instead of on the
Director's machine. Please note that if the filename is given within
quotes, you will need to use two slashes.
Include {
Options { signature = SHA1 }
File = \\/home/xxx/filelist-on-client
}
If I use the \\ syntax I can not estimate or run the job to create the
backup
I get errors like:

Don't forget to read what you've written 10 lines before:
The names should start in column 1 and should not be quoted even if they
contain spaces.
I think that you have put File= before each filename, that will explain why
it works with the @ command.

Re: [Bacula-users] disabling 'accurate' for a restore
Hello James, James Harper wrote: I do a full backup once a week, and then incremental backups for the rest of the week. MSSQL is configured to back up transaction logs every day and keep the backup for 3 days (by which time it would have been backed up). It's Thursday today and I want to restore the most recent full backup (Saturday night) and all the subsequent transaction logs, but of course because accurate backup is on I'm going to have to do multiple restores at various points - restore as at Monday night to get Saturday + Sunday logfiles, then restore at Wednesday night to get Monday + Tuesday logfiles, etc. Restoring as at last nights backup will only give me the logfiles that existed at the time. Is there a way to tell Bacula that you want to restore the backups as if accurate was not enabled at the time? No i don't think. You can do multiple restore, or select files with a tool like brestore or bat. It can be a good idea from time to time, i will add it to my todolist.

Re: [Bacula-users] disabling 'accurate' for a restore
On Thu, 13 Aug 2009 10:05:14 +1000, James Harper said: I do a full backup once a week, and then incremental backups for the rest of the week. MSSQL is configured to back up transaction logs every day and keep the backup for 3 days (by which time it would have been backed up). It's Thursday today and I want to restore the most recent full backup (Saturday night) and all the subsequent transaction logs, but of course because accurate backup is on I'm going to have to do multiple restores at various points - restore as at Monday night to get Saturday + Sunday logfiles, then restore at Wednesday night to get Monday + Tuesday logfiles, etc. Restoring as at last nights backup will only give me the logfiles that existed at the time. So why are you using accurate backups for this case? __Martin -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

We have large directories of data that need to periodically be moved offline to tape. I've got a Scalar 100 with two LTO2 drives. I wouldn't be doing incremental/differential backups, or scheduled backups in any way. At first, I was using a shell script that wrapped around tar. Since my archives often need to span tapes and sometimes many tapes, it was becoming very difficult to manage. I think a solution like Bacula is *mostly* right for my needs, but my question is whether anyone on list has an installation similar to mine and can offer some management advice. How do you configure your jobs and schedules when it's just a bunch of one-off archives? I just use manual scheduling (nothing specified), a special pool (archives) and kick the jobs off manually. Even if the archive job entries are lost from the database you can still effect a restore using bacula's manual tools.

Re: [Bacula-users] Advice needed on Linux backup strategy to LTO-4 tape
On Wed, 12 Aug 2009, rorycl wrote: An important aspect of the system is that the tapes should be readable for 12 years, by other parties if necessary. From this point of view we like the idea of providing a CD with each tape set of the software needed to extract the contents Judging from my experience with CD-Rs there is a high chance that the disc will become unreadable within 12 years unless kept in a cool, dark environment (on a shelf in an office isn't good enough) together with a listing of the enclosed files in a UTF8 text file. We will be required to audit each backup set by successfully extracting files from tape. Will the tape technology still be available in 12 years? Again, based on past experience I'm pretty sure it won't be. Bacula allows backups to be migrated or copied between pools. One of the advantages of this is that it allows archival sets to be migrated to new storage technology relatively easily. Bacula also has options for hash-based verification of files. This allows you to not only extract a backup's contents, but to verify their integrity - that can then be done on a scheduled basis and if coupled with SMART monitoring of the tape drive (LTOs use smart to report error correction stats during tape run) this will give ample warning of impending tape doom.

[Bacula-users] Bacula backups and restores
Hello all Lets say in the event that disaster strikes and all data on my server is lost for whatever reason. I have encrypted backups of the data on the server stored on tapes (on and off site) and NAS. After reinstalling my database management system, and then firing up bacula using copies I have of the director, client and storage daemon files how can I then read the catalog from the encrypted tape. Is there any way I can test this without overwriting the bacula database. Also is there a way to read files (the director, storage and daemon) off the encrypted storage and then restoring them using bacula command line tools or non bacula command line tools .or am I not making any sense?! Second thing is that I am noticing that the size of the backups on my different storage devices are different. So for example the first backup occurs on the tape and the size of the backup is 14.09gb, then on my second storage device it will be 14.12gb and my third one is 14.16gb. They are all full backups ??? Any idea why there may be different sizes Thanks for any help in advance!!! +-- |This was sent by tqzeli...@yahoo.co.uk via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Re: [Bacula-users] btape fails to see loaded tape
Just a potshot guess, I don't have an auto-changer, but, isn't the
bacula user supposed to have proper permissions to the device for
writing? I had to make sure the file store locally had rw access for
the bacula user themselves when I set it up, not sure if that's the
ticket.

[Bacula-users] Client backups crash director until full backup is run
Starting on August 11, Bacula 3.0.1 suddenly decided that the director needs to crash after it runs random incremental backups and lock up the storage director. I tried upgrading to 3.0.2 on all clients and directors, but that didn't fix the problem. The director and storage directors run on Gentoo and the clients are a Gentoo/Red Hat/Windows/Ubuntu mix. I should mention that I have two storage directors and both exhibit the same behavior. For example, I can have Client1, Client2, and Client3. Incremental backups will run fine for Client1 and Client2, but the incremental backup for Client3 will cause the director to crash. It also locks up the storage director with a message like JobId=16459 wants Pool=Client1-Pool but have Pool=Client3-Pool nreserve=1 on drive My-Device (/bacula/vtapes). I can fix the issue for the storage director by restarting it, but that's the only way I've found to fix the bacula-sd problem. I have to restart the director as well because it crashes when this happens. If I then do a full backup of Client3, it will work and so will subsequent incremental backups. However, later Client2 will start doing the same thing until a full backup is run. Any ideas that people can shed on the subject would be very helpful. Using gdb, I tried to get some debugging information, but it didn't give me anything at all. _ Corey Shaw Technology Specialist O. 801.491.0705 (x. 157) F. 801.491.8774 Winner of the 2009 Utah Work/Life Award -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
