Hi all

I am working on building a backup solution with bareos. the system will be used to replace arkeia which is no longer supported. Arkeia backups were quite easy to install and monitor but we are.

I have install bareos-director and bareos-sd on the same server. They are running on the same network interface.

My initial backups went fine but as time went on the backups would queued. Including the catalog backup. I sometime see that the system is asking for a labeling to happen but it doesn't always fix the problem.

mostly linux vms and proxmox physical servers.

Some of the harder ones to backup is our file server with home volume of 90 TB. This is something that we could never backup and has become a source of many problems.

How would you backup such a volume. Should it be split? Since there is a lot of static content in there, should it be archived?

I am not sure if config files are is set correctly.

I have incremental backups happening daily and differentials happening weekly but I often have full backups happening multiple times during a month.

Currently we have no tape library in place so all is running on disk.

Thought I could add some code snippets to give an idea of what I have going on here


client


Client {
  Name = dr001-fd
  Address = 10.60.100.12
  Password = <passwd>
}

Job

Job {
  Name = dr001-Daily-inc
  JobDefs = linux-daily-inc
  Type = backup
  Messages = Standard
  Client = dr001-fd
}


JobDefs {
  Name = linux-daily-inc
  Type = Backup
  Level = Incremental
  Storage = File
  Pool = Incremental
  FileSet = LinuxAll
}

each job has its own schedule. is this necessary

Schedule {
  Name = dr001-daily-inc
  Description = Incremental Daily for dr001-fd
  Run = daily at 11:00
}


storage under the bareos-dir.d folder
File.conf file

Storage {
  Name = File
  Address = ctbackup.cape.saao.ac.za                # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here (do not use "localhost" here).
  Password = <password>
  Device = FileStorage
  Media Type = File
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5
}


The Pools are configured as

Pool {
  Name = Incremental
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes                       # Bareos can automatically recycle Volumes
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
  Volume Retention = 30 days          # How long should the Incremental Backups be kept?  (#12)   Maximum Volume Bytes = 150G           # Limit Volume size to something reasonable
  Maximum Volumes = 30               # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
  Label Format = "Incremental-"       # Volumes will be labeled "Incremental-<volume-id>"
}

Pool {
  Name = Differential
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes                       # Bareos can automatically recycle Volumes
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
  Volume Retention = 90 days          # How long should the Differential Backups be kept? (#09)   Maximum Volume Bytes = 100G          # Limit Volume size to something reasonable
  Maximum Volumes = 60               # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
  Label Format = "Differential-"      # Volumes will be labeled "Differential-<volume-id>"
}

Pool {
  Name = Full
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes                       # Bareos can automatically recycle Volumes
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
  Volume Retention = 365 days         # How long should the Full Backups be kept? (#06)   Maximum Volume Bytes = 350G          # Limit Volume size to something reasonable
  Maximum Volumes = 100               # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
  Label Format = "Full-"              # Volumes will be labeled "Full-<volume-id>"
}


unfortunately there has been a bit of a thumb suck regarding the numbers here.

The storage config looks like this


Devices

Device {
  Name = FileStorage
  Media Type = File
  Archive Device = /data1/bareos/FileStorage
  LabelMedia = yes;                   # lets Bareos label unlabeled media
  Random Access = yes;
  AutomaticMount = yes;               # when device opened, read it
  RemovableMedia = no;
  Collect Statistics = yes
  AlwaysOpen = no;
  Description = "File device. A connecting Director must have the same Name and MediaType."
}


bareos-sd.conf

Storage {
  Name = bareos-sd
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20

  # remove comment from "Plugin Directory" to load plugins from specified directory.   # if "Plugin Names" is defined, only the specified plugins will be loaded,
  # otherwise all storage plugins (*-sd.so) from the "Plugin Directory".
  #
  # Plugin Directory = "/usr/lib/bareos/plugins"
  # Plugin Names = ""
  Collect Device Statistics = yes
  Collect Job Statistics = yes
  #Statistics Collect Intevals = 60
}
~



I know that my largest backups will probably not work since my capacity I can write to is only about 70 Tb

I have the web gui working but there is no easy way to see progress on a job.

Any improvements would be appreciated

Regards
Waanie
