Re: [Bacula-users] DVD backup
Here is what I did, after this configuration you can run a full backup
(changing to the storage and pool defined below)
Afterwards I can burn the files using f.ex k3b

Hi, I'll add some comments here I cannot guarantee that they all apply to 2.4.x because I'm still using 2.2.x and haven't been tracking development that closely for well over a year. That said I did have DVD writing working and many of the errors that you report do look familiar. On Sat, 2008-11-29 at 20:26 +0100, Nils Blanck-Wehde wrote: Hi John, hi everyone!

I used the Debian version that already had the patches applied. Here is what happens now: DVD burning works AS LONG as bacula doesn't write more than one part. After the first part a mount error occurs. I think that bacula for some reason tries to mount the dvd after each part, maybe to check what it just wrote or to calculate the remaining space. It does try to check how much space is left. The mount failure isn't necessarily a problem doing the operating system mount of the DVD but rather that Bacula didn't find when it expected or maybe that it tried to open a file on the DVD in read/write mode. As far as I understand, it is NOT safe to burn parts 800MB to a dvd so I left the default value of 800M in bacula-sd.conf. I ran the SD as root (/usr/sbin/bacula-sd -d 99) so I don't think that there really is a mount error. Maybe the debug-output is misleading? Yes I agree. See what I wrote above. You will find the (somewhat lengthy) debug output of DIR and SD attached. If ANY other information (versions, configurations, hardware etc.) might help solve the issue, please ask. I will provide you with anything needed asap. I don't have time to look too closely at the moment but the following may help. First off I always found that I needed to comment out the following line in the /etc/bacula/scripts/dvd-handler script. growcmd += -use-the-force-luke=notray Add a # at the start of the line to make it # growcmd += -use-the-force-luke=notray This is because linux does (did?) not re-read the disk geometry automatically. The above line forces the DVD to be ejected after writing and the mount reloads it causing the OS to re-read the geometry and find the new data written to the DVD. I actually think that this is the problem that you are seeing because without it the OS will report unreadable blocks when doing the low level mount command. You may also find it useful to go through the steps in http://bridge.oldelvet.org.uk/bacula/BaculaDVDSetup.html If those steps are not all successful then Bacula has very little chance or correctly writing to the DVD.

The mount failure isn't necessarily a problem doing the operating system mount of the DVD but rather that Bacula didn't find when it expected or maybe that it tried to open a file on the DVD in read/write mode. As far as I understand, it is NOT safe to burn parts 800MB to a dvd so I left the default value of 800M in bacula-sd.conf. I ran the SD as root (/usr/sbin/bacula-sd -d 99) so I don't think that there really is a mount error. Maybe the debug-output is misleading? Yes I agree. See what I wrote above. You will find the (somewhat lengthy) debug output of DIR and SD attached. If ANY other information (versions, configurations, hardware etc.) might help solve the issue, please ask. I will provide you with anything needed asap. I don't have time to look too closely at the moment but the following may help. First off I always found that I needed to comment out the following line in the /etc/bacula/scripts/dvd-handler script. growcmd += -use-the-force-luke=notray Add a # at the start of the line to make it # growcmd += -use-the-force-luke=notray This is because linux does (did?) not re-read the disk geometry automatically. The above line forces the DVD to be ejected after writing and the mount reloads it causing the OS to re-read the geometry and find the new data written to the DVD. I actually think that this is the problem that you are seeing because without it the OS will report unreadable blocks when doing the low level mount command. You may also find it useful to go through the steps in http://bridge.oldelvet.org.uk/bacula/BaculaDVDSetup.html If those steps are not all successful then Bacula has very little chance or correctly writing to the DVD.

Re: [Bacula-users] DVD backup problems gone!
Hello everyone, I am trying hard to get DVD backups working as well. I posted about this to the list last week (topic: ERR=Could not mount DVD device), unfortunately with no reply so far. It looks like backing up to DVD isn't a very common thing around here... If anyone actually did manage to backup to DVD with a recent version of bacula, I would be very glad to here about it so at least i know that it in fact is possible. There is a message bundeled with the source code that suggests using an block-device above an UTF formatted DVD-RW. If someone successfully did this, I would be very glad if you shared.

Re: [Bacula-users] DVD Backup Version 2.0.2 OK?
Hi John, hi everyone! I think I am getting closer to get DVD-burning to work. I would really love to use this feature and I would be glad to help fix it. I just checked, I had dvd+rw-tools-7.0-0.el5.3.rpm installed. As this is is 7.04 I uninstalled the rpm and compiled / installed from this sources: http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/tools/dvd+rw-tools-7.1.tar.gz Now, growisofs is version 7.1: * growisofs by [EMAIL PROTECTED], version 7.1 Does this version still require patching before building? Here is what happens now: DVD burning works AS LONG as bacula doesn't write more than one part. After the first part a mount error occurs.

Current part less than total number of parts (5/5, device=DVD_RW (/dev/hdc)) 5 is less than 5 and it fails. Dammit. I went from tape to DVD a month ago, and everything failed. Bug reports: http://bugs.bacula.org/view.php?id=1184 http://bugs.bacula.org/view.php?id=1186 Yahoo! Google! I downgraded to 2.2.8 for the dir/stored server, and I made it! Backup successful! I don't remember when was it, but the stored code was rewritten. Seems that broke the DVD code. I have not restored yet, but at least each DVD part updates the database, and everyting seems to work fine in backup.

Sorry, I can't help you. But in general, you're better off seeking help here first before you file a bug report. see http://www.bacula.org/en/?page=support cheers Cheers. That page was about different kind ofsupport for Bacula. 1. Professional Support. I don't want Professional, paid support. I use this at home, have used for years without problems, with Tape. But now my streamer died and I converted to DVD+RW. 2. Reading Bacula Users and Bacula bugs. I already do that. Have done for years. 3. About not sending messages to Kern. Ok. Trying to stay on Users and Bugs. I have tried to be clear and concise in my bug reports. It is easy to comment a bug report if it is not reasonable. I have a feeling that some people are using Bacula with DVD+RW with success. I have had comments that Here, same problem and Here, all good with 2.0.2 There is no such version as 2.0.2 downloadable. That is why I'm writing here? What version works with DVD? Some do, some dont. I kind of feel betrayed when I have used Bacula for years with my tapes, and now I'm offered http://www.bacula.org/en/?page=support Cheers and thanks. - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

It is easy to comment a bug report if it is not reasonable. Bug reports give work to developers. That's who reads the bug reports.

Hello,

Hello *,
I've a problem with my 1st bacula installation (quite normal I suppose). I'm
running bacula 2.0.3 on Debian Etch/i386. It has to backup a single folder on
DVD, classic full/monthly, diff/weekly, incr/daily schema.
When I enter bacula-console I try a test backup with the run command.
bacula-sd closes the DVD tray but never starts writing.
It's a while ago that I played with DVD writing, but perhaps some
helpful hints:
If I ask status 2 I get (among other things):
Device status:
Device DVD-Writer (/dev/hdb) is not open.
Device is being initialized.
for a few seconds, and then:
Running Jobs:
Writing: Incremental Backup job Client1 JobId=13 Volume=Backup-0003
pool=Default device=DVD-Writer (/dev/hdb)
spooling=0 despooling=0 despool_wait=0
Files=0 Bytes=0 Bytes/sec=0
FDReadSeqNo=6 in_msg=6 out_msg=4 fd=6
[...]
Device status:
Device DVD-Writer (/dev/hdb) is not open.
Device is BLOCKED waiting for media.
Are there any messages regarding this job?
But I've put in bacula-sd.conf :
Device {
Name = DVD-Writer
Media Type = DVD
Archive Device = /dev/hdb
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = yes;
AlwaysOpen = no;
MaximumPartSize = 800M;
RequiresMount = yes;
MountPoint = /media/cdrom0;
# MountCommand = /bin/mount -t iso9660 -o ro %a %m;
MountCommand = /bin/mount %a;
UnmountCommand = /bin/umount %m;
SpoolDirectory = /tmp/backup;
WritePartCommand = /etc/bacula/dvd-handler %a write %e %v
FreeSpaceCommand = /etc/bacula/dvd-handler %a free
}
so the SD should label the media on my behalf, right?
It should work if you've enabled it in the DIR too.
Then, you probably need a patched version of the dvd+rw-tools.
Finally, try running the commands from your configuration from the
shell, as the user the SD runs as.
Make sure your mount an unmount commands work (they most likely do).
Try the free space command: '/etc/bacula/dvd-handler /dev/hdb free ;
echo $?' It should return a reasonable number of free space on the disk
and an error code of zero. If it doesn't, verify the disk is empty and
your dvd+rw-mediainfo (IIRC) works correctly.
Then, he the write command to write a reasonably sized file to an empty
disk. Note that from my experience the file must not be too small - some
100 MB might be the reasonable minimum.
Finally, if these all work correctly, enable debug output in the SD and
see if there are any DVD related messages that indicate problems.
