Hi Phil,
Some possible causes are already ruled out. So we should consider a
potential bug in Bacula. You could try to check if there are any jobs in
the catalog in an unxpected state -- I'm thinking of 'C' for "created
but not yet running":
In bconsole:
sql
select * from job where jobstatus = 'C';
That returns no rows.
In fact I'm thinking of a very particular issue that some colleagues are
currently working on; not the best fit in your case as there seems to be
no log output at all in your case, and the scenario I have in mind would
usually log at least the "Start Backup JobId "-line, but that could be
missed depending on logging and reporting settings, I guess.
I suppose you did not do any configuration changes in between the last
jobs and the ones you're missing, right?
Correct. And it's only very infrequent. Perhaps a couple of times a
year, which makes it difficult to even spot a pattern, let alone
troubleshoot it.
Also, how did you install your Bacula? From packages? If so, which ones,
and if not, how did you build? (This is mostly for future references...
I don't claim to have any good idea regarding build options or any fancy
patches.)
Locally compiled on each host from the Gentoo ebuild.
Also, is there anything in 'status client' output that would imply any
of the missing jobs actually started doing something?
Nope.
If you want to understand what's going on, it might help to add new
logging, using the comparatively new message type "Events" which afaik
is not included in "All", but which should provide information about a
job start from an early stage on.
So I'd change:
Messages {
Name = Director
append = "/var/log/bacula.log" = all, !skipped
to 'all, events, !skipped'?
And then just wait for it to happen again, I suppose... and remember to
follow up if and when it does.
