[Bacula-users] Mac OS X and readline disabled requirement (deprecated information in the documentation?)
Hello,
According to the documentation for Bacula 1.38.11 (24 July 2006), on page 61
of the PDF document, it says this about Mac OS X client:
MacOS X 10.3 is reported to work with the Client only as long as readline
support is disabled.
This may be true for 10.3, but I'm not so sure its true for 10.4 (and
Leopard -- 10.5 is just around the corner). The reason I mention this is
that the MacPorts (formerly Darwin Ports) Bacula Portfile has configuration
arguments as follows (copied and pasted) and there is no explicit disabling
of the readline option (although its also not explicitly enabled either):
configure.args --mandir=${prefix}/share/man
--with-pid-dir=${prefix}/var/run \
--with-subsys-dir=${prefix}/var/run/subsys
\
--sysconfdir=${prefix}/etc/${name} \
--with-libintl-prefix=${prefix}
--with-openssl=${prefix} \
--with-libiconv-prefix=${prefix}
--with-sqlite3=${prefix} \
--without-postgresql --without-mysql \
--disable-gnome --disable-wx-console
--disable-tray-monitor
Any ideas what the reality is for Mac OS X 10.4? Maybe a documenation update
is in order?
Cheers.

Re: [Bacula-users] Autochanger advice
Hi,
I'm not familiar with this particular autochanger but does it really
have 12 DRIVES or does it have 12 tape SLOTS?
If it's the later, your config is wrong as you only need to configure a
device per tape drive, not slot AFAIK.
Also, I dont think you should be specifying 'AutoChanger = Yes' in your
Device definition. You're defining a tape drive there, not the
autochanger (which is defined in the AutoChanger definition above it)
Hope this helps in some way,
Cheers,

You are correct, unless you think they managed to cram 12 drives in a 2U
form factor or the first email mis-quoted the model of the tape library ;)
It seems to be a 2U, 1 Drive, 12 Slot loader
So your bacula-dir.conf should contain something like:

Autochanger = yes

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula compatible with Sony SDX-520C AIT2?
Hi All
I'm still having problems with my Sony AIT2 device. Been trying different
avenues for help but to no avail.
I accidentally typo-ed the wrong device in my previous message and I know that
my tape device is indeed on /dev/nst0 and not the generic scsi device /dev/sg2.
However Bacula is still giving me the same error message from /dev/nst0 as
originally listed (below).
I might have a hardware configuration problem (maybe at BIOS level even) as
someone has hinted to remove (or add the appropriate) idescsi driver for the
tape drive such that the drive itself is on dev/st0 (instead of dev/sgX).
Unfortunately I did not build the server and my Linux knowledge is very
limited. Something about the scsi driver used being a serial-tape device and
not a direct-access hard-drive?
I know it is not directly Bacula related, but I would be very grateful if the
community could help me to resolve my problem. I also know that it has worked
in the past, as I have a First Full Backup tape written using Bacula many
months ago.

You need to use the tape device /dev/nstX not the generic scsi device /dev/sgX
for tape software like tar, Bacula, btape, etc.
If /dev/nst0 isn't the right device then try /dev/nst1, etc.
Anyways this is an OS problem not a Bacula problem.

This was the problem...
...tar, bacula and btape all don't like /dev/sg2!
Anyway, while the Sony TapeTool happily checks/tests and read/write tapes,
using tar/bacula/bconsole etc. still give me the error (this is via bconsole's
label command):
Connecting to Storage daemon SonyAIT at localhost:9103 ...
Sending label command for Volume Tue-A Slot 0 ...
block.c:782 Read error at file:blk 0:0 on device /dev/nst0. ERR=Invalid

block.c:552 Write error at 0:0 on device /dev/nst0. ERR=Invalid argument.
askdir.c:219 NULL Volume name. This shouldn't happen!!!
3912 Failed to label Volume: ERR=block.c:782 Read error at file:blk 0:0 on
device /dev/nst0. ERR=Invalid argument.
Label command failed for Volume Tue-A.
Do not forget to mount the drive!!!
Does this suggest a hardware fault, a linux kernal fault (somewhere) and/or a
Bacula fault? Remember I have also been using other brand new (unopened) AIT-2
Tapes as well as the cleaning tape quite a few times too.

Hello Troy,
thanks for your reply and you´re right I messed up drives with slots.
I´ve corrected my bacula config, but it´s still the same.
I can´t mount a tape with bconsole.
When no tape is in the first slot
an I issue the command mount, following will hapen.

If this is not a blank tape, try unmounting and remounting the Volume.
I mountet a tape with the mtx command returned to the bconsole and tried
to umount and then to mount a tape.

Hello Troy,
thanks for your reply and you´re right I messed up drives with slots.
I´ve corrected my bacula config, but it´s still the same.
I can´t mount a tape with bconsole.
When no tape is in the first slot
an I issue the command mount, following will hapen.

My suggestion would be to make a cron job. Something like
echo list volumes | bconsole | mail -s Volume Listing
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Then you can choose which volumes to use. Any writable (i.e. not {full,
readonly, etc.}) volumes from the correct pool will do fine. Depending on
your setup, you could query only a specific pool: list volumes pool=Full

Re: [Bacula-users] Creating filesets on-the-fly
Thanks for all the suggestions.
This one seems to be the most usefull for what I want to do. Anyway, it
will be a bit tricky to get some day to work and have to program one new
backup for next Tuesdey and another new one for next Friday. Does your
first approach read the local-filelist when the scheduled date comes and
bacula starts backuping files or when I program the backup and set a
schedule for it? The second solution would allow me to handle any backup
not planned. The first solution forces me to have an array of ''
filesets and keep track of which of them are being used and which ones
are free.
The problem is that here we have to do a lot of 'once' backups. Each
time that one artist ends one sub-project we must backup his work and
delete it from the server disks. This happens at least twice a week, and
each backup is a new one. I thought that it was more common in other
places having to do final backups for projects when they are done and
must be deleted from hard drives. Or maybe other bacula users leave
these kind of backups out from bacula control?
We also have periodical backups that can be handled without any problem
with bacula, but these once/final backups happen too frequently to leave
them out from bacula control :(
By the way, is there any way of schedule a backup to run only once? I
didn't see how to specify the year...
Regards and thanks for your help.

Hi,
maybe this will help:
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
}

Hi,
I'm new to bacula, and after reading the documentation I couldn't find a
way of creating filesets from the consoles. It seems that the only way
of creating them is by modifying the configuration file of the director,
but this would involve restarting the bacula server to have the new
fileset into account, right?
Sometimes I need to schedule a backup of some new folder that wasn't
backed up previously. Is there another way of doing this remotely from a
console?
Thanks in advance,

This may be true for 10.3, but I'm not so sure its true for 10.4
(and Leopard -- 10.5 is just around the corner). The reason I

For jobs that you don't want on a schedule, do this:
Schedule {
Name = Never
}
Job {
Name= laptop
JobDefs = DefaultJob
Schedule= Never
Client = laptop-fd
FileSet = laptop files
Write Bootstrap = /home/bacula/working/laptop-fd.bsr
Reschedule On Error = yes
Reschedule Interval = 12 hours
}
Then you can run the job from bconsole:

Re: [Bacula-users] [Bacula-devel] Storage definitions
Hello David, Thanks for your thoughts. I think there are several points that you have minimized or overlooked in your response: 1. Bacula currently permits specifying multiple Media Types in a Pool. 2. Bacula currently permits Storage devices to be specified in the Job resource 3. Bacula currently permits both Pool and Storage overrides in Run resources. None of the above can be removed or changed without causing total disaster to a very large Bacula community. My question was about the order of what takes precedence over what, not in is better or worse than other options. For version 1.39.x, you can run Bacula exactly as you want using Storage resources in Pools and in the Next Pool. Both methodologies cooexist in Bacula (though they probably don't function very well together). See below for more comments ... On Wednesday 22 November 2006 19:35, David Boyes wrote: Defining and figuring out what storage device is going to be used has become a bit too complicated in version 1.39.x. This is mainly due to the fact that we have two different storage devices for each job and three possible places to specify them: My 2 cents worth: This can be simplified dramatically by specifying the Storage resource only in the Pool definition, and then specifying only the Pool in all other places. Since (IMHO) pools are highly unlikely to span multiple SDs, identifying what SD to use is selectable from the devices available in the Storage resource associated with the pool. Some notes below: Yes agreed. Migration job: read storage: job storage resource Shouldn't the migration job always be using the Pool resource being migrated One can do that, but it is not the only way of doing things. The read part remains compatible with the existing code. and feeding to the NextPool, or overriding the NextPool resource, not the storage resource? That is how it is done for the writing side. For migration, we're looking at volumes in pools, not individual volumes (other than the case where we have deliberately limited the selection criteria to a specific volume within a pool via the selection keyword), No, that is not really correct. For migration, as it is currently implemented, we are looking at Jobs. Everything breaks down to a Job. This has certain constraints, but I could see no other way of implementing Migration in the current Bacula otherwise. so there should be no reason to specify individual devices for migration jobs. You have to be able to properly get to the original data, and I don't think it would be wise to have one syntax for restores and a different one to find the read side of a Migration. read storage: pool storage resource Correct. read storage: run override resource See above. Migration is about pools, not devices. No, it is about Jobs, with the caveat that Next Pool does define what set of devices it can be migrated to. If you need to migrate to volumes that are not in a pool then you set up a temporary pool and draw it's volumes from the scratch pool. All Volumes by definition are in one and only one pool, and as I said, we are migrating jobs not volumes and not pools. read storage: command line??? Not sure what you mean by this. Sorry that was not very clear. I meant that the read storage could be overriden by the command line (i.e. in manually starting a Migration job), but I was not sure of what order it was applied ... write storage: pool next pool storage resource (yea, try to figure out the above in C it is job-pool-next_pool-storage Correct as I understand the implementation. See comments above. Yes, but it is terribly complicated, and IMO the average user doesn't understand Pools so is going to break his brain on this. Backup Job: write storage: job storage resource See above for discussion of pools. If pools drive the selection of volumes, the pool definition will clearly define what SD should be used, unambiguously and consistently across all actions in Bacula. Unfortunately the above, however good it may be, is not compatible with the existing Bacula (if you force it on the user), and probably more than 50% of beginning users will not understand how pools work. Any big enterprise backup expert will, but not the majority of Bacula users, IMO. write storage: pool storage resource Ditto. write storage: run override resource Ditto. write storage: command line??? Not sure again. Restore Job: read storage: who knows, probably the same as Migration. To be checked. In a normal case, the pool definition of the pool containing the volume should determine the SD to use. This is now possible, but it is not *enforced* so you just need to use a little discipline in writing your .conf file. In the nasty case of full disaster, you could temporarily override the pool storage resource from the

For jobs that you don't want on a schedule, do this:
Schedule {
Name = Never
}
Job {
Name= laptop
JobDefs = DefaultJob
Schedule= Never
Client = laptop-fd
FileSet = laptop files
Write Bootstrap = /home/bacula/working/laptop-fd.bsr
Reschedule On Error = yes

Then you can run the job from bconsole:

[Bacula-users] Travan tape - very slow
I now have found btape so I set my tape testing on fill this morning.
After 12 hours it's only managed 3GB. It is reporting about 70kb/s,
which is consistent with the rate it's reporting.
With other programs (Windows 98/Veritas backup and Linux/Amanda) it
can fill a 10GB tape in that time (it's spec is 60MB/min and as I
recall but didn't note Amanda was not far off - from memory I think it
was a about 40MB/min).
I have had to set 512 byte blocks (it didn't work with variable size
and mt reports that it has 512 byte blocks). Others have also reported
this requirement. The drive is on an IDE cable shared with the CDROM
(not in use) so it should have full access to the IDE port.
With other programs when writing data the tape whirrs continuously in
one direction. With btape it is winding one way then silent the
rewinding then going forward (that's what it sounds like anyway). That
will clearly hit the performance if it doesn't write continuously.
The drive is a Travan 20 (10GB native, 20GB compressed) Seagate
STT22A.
Clearly the performance is much reduced from what the drive is capable
of. Has anyone suggestions (ideally first hand experience of this or a
very similar model, e.g the STT28000A 8GB/4GB version) that could
help?
The drive may be a few years old, but it's capacity and speed (when
it's going at it's flat out speed) suits my requirements, plus I have
a second drive in another machine which gives me some redundancy in
the event of a failure).
This is the definition that I added to bacula-sd.conf:
Device {
Name = Travan
Description = Travan 10/20GB
Media Type = TR-5
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes;
AlwaysOpen = yes
Offline On Unmount = no
Fast Forward Space File = no
Hardware End of Medium = no
Minimum Block Size = 512
Maximum Block Size = 512
}

Re: [Bacula-users] [Bacula-devel] Storage definitions
Thanks for your thoughts. I think there are several points that you have minimized or overlooked in your response: 1. Bacula currently permits specifying multiple Media Types in a Pool. 2. Bacula currently permits Storage devices to be specified in the Job resource 3. Bacula currently permits both Pool and Storage overrides in Run resources. None of the above can be removed or changed without causing total disaster to a very large Bacula community. All understood. I'm still thinking about how to get to that future state where these things are controlled by Bacula, and the user doesn't have to concern themselves with it. Since migration is a significant new feature, it strikes me as a very good opportunity to start heading in that direction. For version 1.39.x, you can run Bacula exactly as you want using Storage resources in Pools and in the Next Pool. Both methodologies cooexist in Bacula (though they probably don't function very well together). Yes. It's a tradeoff of one-time setup complexity for pain-free normal operation. The bigger problem (as you pointed out) is how to get there from here. Migration job: read storage: job storage resource Shouldn't the migration job always be using the Pool resource being migrated One can do that, but it is not the only way of doing things. The read part remains compatible with the existing code. I guess I'm not seeing why it's useful to override device selection for reads from pooled volumes -- I'm sure there's a reason, but I can't figure it out. The volumes (and thus the jobs you are migrating) are in a pool and are in a changer -- otherwise they wouldn't be eligible for migration -- thus they are associated implicitly with a SD managing that pool. Other than academic completeness, why complicate operations by allowing/encouraging the user to mix into Bacula's device selection and management process outside of real total disaster? That seems to be the core of the problem -- Bacula having to cope with things outside it's control or users doing things that are dumb. Should we use the opportunity to try to remedy the possibility of that? Migration is a *major* change in capability -- I guess I'm thinking that it's also the beginning of the kinds of changes I suggested in order to scale up. I know we can't break the world as it is now. It might be worth breaking migration to work this way and start things in the direction we want to go in the future. For migration, we're looking at volumes in pools, not individual volumes (other than the case where we have deliberately limited the selection criteria to a specific volume within a pool via the selection keyword), No, that is not really correct. For migration, as it is currently implemented, we are looking at Jobs. Everything breaks down to a Job. This has certain constraints, but I could see no other way of implementing Migration in the current Bacula otherwise. I think this is one of those which-perspective-do-you-start-from issues. At the lowest level, that's true - jobs are the most granular thing in Bacula, and that's the units that the migration code deals with. From the larger-scale storage manager's perspective, jobs are the *contents* of a volume, and what they're interested is managing the availability of volumes (empty, partially-full, full). The migration code identifies and moves the jobs contained on volumes or the volumes contained within a pool, but what I care about is if I have enough available space on volumes to meet the requirements. so there should be no reason to specify individual devices for migration jobs. You have to be able to properly get to the original data, and I don't think it would be wise to have one syntax for restores and a different one to find the read side of a Migration. I probably didn't explain this point well. I intend the syntax to be the same in both cases, but in the case of a total disaster (where the bacula configuration and/or database is lost or otherwise unavailable), you would have to ADD parameters identifying the SD and device to the normal syntax. In a normal case, the job would get that data from the Pool definitions (and their associated Storage definitions), and the user should let Bacula do it's job and select appropriate devices. read storage: pool storage resource Correct. read storage: run override resource See above. Migration is about pools, not devices. No, it is about Jobs, with the caveat that Next Pool does define what set of devices it can be migrated to. See above discussion on perspective. The mechanics in the code are about jobs, but that's more detail than the average storage manager cares about. If you need to migrate to volumes that are not in a pool then you set up a temporary pool and draw it's volumes from the scratch pool. All Volumes by definition are in one and only one pool, and as I said, we are migrating jobs not

Re: [Bacula-users] Travan tape - very slow
Hello,
It generally helps to read the manual in cases like this. Here is a short
except from the manual that should pretty much explain it:
Bacula's preferred method of working with tape drives (sequential devices) is
to run in variable block mode, and this is what is set by default. You should
first ensure that your tape drive is set for variable block mode (see below).
If your tape drive is in fixed block mode and you have told Bacula to use
different fixed block sizes or variable block sizes (default), you will get
errors when Bacula attempts to forward space to the correct block (the kernel
driver's idea of tape blocks will not correspond to Bacula's).
All modern tape drives support variable tape blocks, but some older drives
(in particular the QIC drives) as well as the ATAPI ide-scsi driver run only
in fixed block mode. The Travan tape drives also apparently must run in fixed
block mode (to be confirmed).
Even in variable block mode, with the exception of the first record on the
second or subsequent volume of a multi-volume backup, Bacula will write
blocks of a fixed size. However, in reading a tape, Bacula will assume that
for each read request, exactly one block from the tape will be transferred.
This the most common way that tape drives work and is well supported by
Bacula.
Drives that run in fixed block mode can cause serious problems for Bacula if
the drive's block size does not correspond exactly to Bacula's block size. In
fixed block size mode, drivers may transmit a partial block or multiple
blocks for a single read request. From Bacula's point of view, this destroys
the concept of tape blocks. It is much better to run in variable block mode,
and almost all modern drives (the OnStream is an exception) run in variable
block mode. In order for Bacula to run in fixed block mode, you must include
the following records in the Storage daemon's Device resource definition:
Minimum Block Size = nnn
Maximum Block Size = nnn
where nnn must be the same for both records and must be identical to the
driver's fixed block size.
We recommend that you avoid this configuration if at all possible by using
variable block sizes.
If you must run with fixed size blocks, make sure they are not 512 bytes.
This is too small and the overhead that Bacula has with each record will
become excessive. If at all possible set any fixed block size to something
like 64,512 bytes or possibly 32,768 if 64,512 is too large for your drive.
See below for the details on checking and setting the default drive block
size.
To recover files from tapes written in fixed block mode, see below.

Yes, on second thought we probably could do Migration a bit differently. However, unless one wants to overly complicate the existing complicated code, it would either be all or nothing -- that is either accept all possible existing ways of setting the storage device, or do it only from the Pool. If it is done only from the Pool, then modification from the command line would be out, and all flexibility would be lost. Though it is possible, I find adding even more code to restrict devices only for Migration to be a bit of overkill. Maybe I am wrong ... I know we can't break the world as it is now. It might be worth breaking migration to work this way and start things in the direction we want to go in the future. As alluded to above, it is not so easy to break migration and still maintain some flexibility. It is much easier to just let Bacula do its thing. Migration has been the hardest project I have worked on in Bacula, and it is sort of limping along, but I am not really very happy about it. At the moment I don't see any way to improve it, but I am unhappy because it is rather complicated -- try figuring out what happens when Pools, SQL statements, and Regexes are involved to determine what gets migrated -- it is a brain buster. What worries me more though is that the current implementation is not very scalable. I mentioned this some months ago -- I shudder to think of what will happen when some poor guy fires off a Migration job that spawns 1000 child jobs :-) As I think you said, it will be interesting to see how Bacula stands up to the stress test. :-) I'm a bit tired of working on it, but at the same time would really like to see it working well, and even more, I would really like to see about adding a copy feature, and even more than that a consolidation feature (or what some people call a synthetic Full backup -- I think) where the current state of the system will be created from existing backups, but written to one set of tapes ... For migration, we're looking at volumes in pools, not individual volumes (other than the case where we have deliberately limited the selection criteria to a specific volume within a pool via the selection keyword), No, that is not really correct. For migration, as it is currently implemented, we are looking at Jobs. Everything breaks down to a Job. This has certain constraints, but I could see no other way of implementing Migration in the current
Re: [Bacula-users] Update clients FileRetention JobRetention Period?
Hi,
You are right. My answer was wrong. I did some research in the manual and I found this:
(page 292 in the pdf):
-
File Retention = time-period-specification The File Retention
record defines the length of time that Bacula will keep File records
in the Catalog database. When this time period expires, and if Au-
toPrune is set to yes, Bacula will prune (remove) File records that
are older than the specified File Retention period. The pruning will
occur at the end of a backup Job for the given Client. Note that the
Client database record contains a copy of the File and Job retention
periods, but Bacula uses the current values found in the Directors
Client resource to do the pruning.
-
So regarding the documentation you don't need to do anything else. You have already
restarted the director daemon.

Andras, the update command doesn't have any argument about clients resource:
Update choice:
1: Volume parameters
2: Pool from resource
3: Slots from autochanger
Could you please point me where...?
Thanks for your time!!!
Maybe i wasn't clear, the values that i want to update are from the Client Resource in bacula-dir.conf
Client {
Name = Client1
Address =192.168.2.251
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = "mypassword"
File Retention = 26 days
Job Retention = 27 days
AutoPrune = yes
}
This are the values i want to update.
Sorry for this mistake, greetings!!!

[Bacula-users] Windows client and TLS
Hi, I've been running Bacula in Linux/Solaris environment for a long time. Couple of days ago, I've attempted to install Bacula file daemon on Windows box and get it to work with TLS. However, if I have TLS Require = yes in bacula-fd.conf, the file daemon crashes. If I remove it and use plaintext connections, it works. Is TLS supported in Windows version at all? Is there a minimum version of file daemon or directory/storage daemon required for Windows TLS? I've found one email in list archives where Pozdrawiam Leszek asked preaty much the same question about a month ago. However, it doesn't seem he ever got any answer.

Did you use a blank tape when you tested bacula for the first time? If not this is your problem. I do not believe the block size can be changed once there is data on the tape. you can fix this by rewinding the tape and writing an eof at the beginning of the tape using mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind mt -f /dev/nst0 weof then I believe bacula can use the tape and set the block size.
