I've been trying to get Bacula-3.0.3 to use a new-to-me LTO-2 drive. So
far, though, Bacula is apparently refusing to send any jobs to it. It
appears that Pool directives in the Job or JobDefs resource now
*override* changes to the Job specification made interactively to a
manually-run job in bconsole. Should this be happening?
To illustrate what I mean, here's the applicable JobDefs and Job:
JobDefs {
Name = Backup
Type = Backup
Level = Full
Pool = Full-Disk
Full Backup Pool = Full-Disk
Differential Backup Pool = Diff-Disk
Incremental Backup Pool = Incr-Disk
Schedule = "Monthly Rotation"
RunBeforeJob = "/opt/bacula/sbin/checkhost %c"
Write Bootstrap = "/opt/bacula/working/%c.bsr"
Rerun Failed Levels = yes
Messages = Daemon
Priority = 10
Allow Duplicate Jobs = no
Cancel Queued Duplicates = yes
}
Job {
Name = "Spikyfishthing Backup"
JobDefs = Backup
Client = spikyfishthing
FileSet = "Spikyfishthing Full Set"
}
Here's the available Pools:
Pool {
Name = Scratch
Storage = babylon4-sd
Pool Type = Backup
}
Pool {
Name = Full-Disk
Storage = babylon4-sd
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = no
Recycle Oldest Volume = no
Recycle Current Volume = no
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 3 months
Maximum Volume Jobs = 0
Volume Use Duration = 23h
Label Format =
"FULL-$Year${Month:p/2/0/r}${Day:p/2/0/r}-${Hour:p/2/0/r}:${Minute:p/2/0/r}"
RecyclePool = Scratch
}
Pool {
Name = Diff-Disk
Storage = babylon4-sd
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = no
Recycle Oldest Volume = no
Recycle Current Volume = no
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 2 months
Maximum Volume Jobs = 0
Volume Use Duration = 23h
Label Format =
"DIFF-$Year${Month:p/2/0/r}${Day:p/2/0/r}-${Hour:p/2/0/r}:${Minute:p/2/0/r}"
RecyclePool = Scratch
}
Pool {
Name = Incr-Disk
Storage = babylon4-sd
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = no
Recycle Oldest Volume = no
Recycle Current Volume = no
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 1 month
Maximum Volume Jobs = 0
Volume Use Duration = 23h
Label Format =
"INCR-$Year${Month:p/2/0/r}${Day:p/2/0/r}-${Hour:p/2/0/r}:${Minute:p/2/0/r}"
RecyclePool = Scratch
}
Pool {
Name = Full-Tape
Storage = babylon5-sd
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
Autoprune = yes
Volume Retention = 365d
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Recycle Current Volume = yes
Label Format = "ARCH-"
Maximum Volumes = 9
}
Here, I manually start a job, and modify it to use the Full-Tape pool
and the appropriate Storage device:
*run
A job name must be specified.

The defined Pool resources are:
1: Scratch
2: Full-Disk
3: Diff-Disk
4: Incr-Disk
5: Full-Tape
Select Pool resource (1-5): 5
Run Backup job
JobName: Spikyfishthing Backup
Level: Full
Client: spikyfishthing
FileSet: Spikyfishthing Full Set
Pool: Full-Tape (From User input)
Storage: babylon5-sd (From user selection)
When: 2009-12-28 00:40:12
Priority: 10
OK to run? (yes/mod/no): y
Job queued. JobId=674
*
And here's what actually happened:
28-Dec 00:40 babylon4-dir JobId 674: shell command: run BeforeJob
"/opt/bacula/sbin/checkhost spikyfishthing"
28-Dec 00:40 babylon4-dir JobId 674: Start Backup JobId 674,
Job=Spikyfishthing_Backup.2009-12-28_00.40.48_35
28-Dec 00:40 babylon4-dir JobId 674: Created new Volume
"FULL-20091228-00:40" in catalog.
28-Dec 00:40 babylon4-dir JobId 674: Using Device "FileStorage"
28-Dec 00:40 babylon4-sd JobId 674: Labeled new Volume
"FULL-20091228-00:40" on device "FileStorage" (/spool/bacula).
28-Dec 00:40 babylon4-sd JobId 674: Wrote label to prelabeled Volume
"FULL-20091228-00:40" on device "FileStorage" (/spool/bacula)
Bacula was specifically told to write the job to the Full-Tape pool on
babylon5-sd. It wrote it to the Full-Disk pool on babylon4-sd anyway.
This cannot be correct behavior, can it...? Surely any modification to
a job made from the console should override ANYTHING set in ANY resource
directive.
