[Bacula-users] tapeinfo under windows
Hi, I'm trying to configure the tape alert (Alert Command) for my DLT drive under Windows 2003 Server. I ran the following command on the command line: tapeinfo -f DeviceName the result is always: cannot open SCSI device 'DeviceName' - No such file or directory I read in the archive (may 2006) that Robert Nelson has ported the mtx package to windows. So I assume that this program should work under windows, but what is the correct DeviceName to use it under windows? Thanks Andreas - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Bacula-users] Ideas for restore job to test backups
Hi all, On Tuesday 09 January 2007 18:02, Misty Stanley-Jones wrote: I'm looking for some ideas about how to create a Restore job such that a random file, from a random client, from a random backup (which has not been pruned, obviously) will be picked to be restored. I have been just arbitrarily choosing a file to restore, but it will never be even close to random, and isn't really a great way to test the backups. Great Idea. Someone on the IRC channel got me started with the following query: select * from File order by RAND() limit 1 This just gives me the FileId, and I would need to join with another table to get the file name and which client it belongs to. But is there a better way to approach this? From the Bacula Manual about restore : 7: Enter a list of files to restore: If you prefix the filename with a question mark (?), then the filename will be interpreted as an SQL table name, and Bacula will include the rows of that table in the list to be restored. The table must contain the JobId in the first column and the FileIndex in the second column. This table feature is intended for external programs that want to build their own list of files to be restored. JobID and FileIndex are columns of File. Just build a temp Table or whatever. Also, I would like to be able to schedule this restore to happen once per week. Is that possible?

Re: [Bacula-users] FD running as non-root
On Tue, 09 Jan 2007 16:52:41 -0500, Dan Langille said: This issue came up on IRC yesterday. The statement in question is at http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Bacula_Security_Issues.html : The Clients (bacula-fd) must run as root to be able to access all the system files. Someone wanted to run FD as non-root. I replied that would be fine provided the UID/GID has permission to access all the files you want to backup. I propose to replace the quoted sentence with: The Clients (bacula-fd) must run as whatever GID/UID is necessary to access whatever files you wish to backup. In addition, if you wish to restore over existing files, bacula-fd will require sufficient permission to do that. In most cases, this means root. Comments? Restore will also be limited for new files, always setting the owner to the user that is running bacula-fd and similarly for the group. __Martin - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Bacula-users] Behavior to expect?: appendable tape not in autochanger...
I'm using an autochanger and a scratch pool for new volumes. Each month I remove from the autochanger all the tapes from one backup job that uses the CADArchive pool. They are stored off-site. Right now the backup spans two disks with the 2nd one about 1/2 full. When a job runs that needs a tape from the CADArchive pool, will Bacula: 1. Detect that there are no CADArchive volumes in the autochanger, relabel one from the Scratch pool and run the job using that relabeled tape. 2. Notice that there is an appendable volume from the CADArchive pool, ask for it and wait until it's loaded or the maxwait time is reached. #1 is how I think it will behave, and how I want it to behave. If #2 is the behavior I should expect, what do I do to close the appendable volume so Bacula will use a new tape from the Scratch pool? --Tim (This message is also serving to test my ability to send to the list.

The lastest snapshot is available through a constant URL found on the main page. Historical snapshots are available from the archives directory. The snapshots will be useful to those want to test out the latest version without using CVS. The plan is to run the regresssion scripts each night and have the results available on the website. Such regression tests go a long way towards keep the product reliable and stable. Problems are quickly highlighted. At present, my time is short, so if anyone wants to help out in designing and putting together the automation of the regressions scripts, please get in touch.

[Bacula-users] Problem w/ Verification after Bacula upgrade
Hi folks,
I'm seeing a problem in that prior to the Bacula 2.0 upgrade, I was able to
run a verify job on the current day's tape data to ensure that the tape can
be read as well as verifying the tape data reflects the data on the server's
HDs. However, after the upgrade to 2.0 from 1.38.11 (or so), the verify job
asks for the previous day's tape instead of the current day's tape.
In short, this is what I do:
1) backup data on server
2) verify server data on tape
3) backup catalog
4) verify catalog backup on tape

Re: [Bacula-users] tapeinfo under windows
I'm new to the world of Bacula + Tapes so some of this is new and fresh for me. Kill any process that might be accessing the drive - this means bacula-sd, bacula-dir, and any OTHER backup software that may be running as a service (eg Backup Exec, NT Backup, etc..) wanting to connect to the drive. That will clear up the permissions problem for you. Then attempt access to the drive. I had no luck with Bacula writing to the DAT-72 on the unit I was working on, but the DLT you have should work.

[Bacula-users] Pools of storage devices?
Is it possible to configure a backup Job to write to any available storage device? For instance, assume I have two (or more) tape drives without an autochanger. Is there a way to associate the two drives in a pool that the backup job can then point to, such that it will use whichever drive is available? Or another possible scenario is having two storage servers and pooling them both among the defined jobs.

Re: [Bacula-users] Problem w/ Verification after Bacula upgrade
Hello,
If you re-work this just a bit, I'll take a look at it. However, as it
stands, it is just too complicated and doesn't have all the info I need.
Please do the following:
1. If two jobs are failing in a similar way, simplify it and just report one
of them, the simplest one.
2. You start OK with what you want to do.
3. Next add a brief description of what happens (or add it in line where you
describe what you want).
4. Next show the output from the backup job that completes.
5. Then show the output from the verify that fails.
6. Briefly describe any important points about the failure
7. Add your .conf files as attachments.
Note, verify jobs are not used very much so are not tested and could well be
broken, especially since the way in which Bacula obtains Pool and Storage
information has been rather extensively modified. The exception to that is
Verify Catalog, which I use as a security tripware feature for my server
and development machine, and which I am sure works.
Regards,
Kern

Hi folks,
I'm seeing a problem in that prior to the Bacula 2.0 upgrade, I was able to
run a verify job on the current day's tape data to ensure that the tape can
be read as well as verifying the tape data reflects the data on the server's
HDs. However, after the upgrade to 2.0 from 1.38.11 (or so), the verify job
asks for the previous day's tape instead of the current day's tape.
In short, this is what I do:
1) backup data on server
2) verify server data on tape
3) backup catalog
4) verify catalog backup on tape

Thanks for any insight provided. You simply specify multiple Storage resources on your Storage = directive, where each one is separated by commas. In version 2.0.0, any Storage = specified in a Pool will override what is specified in the Job resource. Downside to using multiple Storage specifications: 1. It is not well tested, and I doubt it is documented yet. 2. It works only with multiple devices on the *same* storage daemon. 3. If the devices have different media types, you will not be able to easily restore files. Bacula only automatically handles a single media type for restoring (currently). There is code to do this, but I doubt it works yet. 4. During a restore, the Volumes will most likely be requested on the last storgae device that wrote to the volume. 5. Once a backup Job has selected a drive, all subsequent Volumes needed to complete writing the data for that Job will use the same drive (i.e. it will not switch drives within a job -- yet). - Take Surveys.

[Bacula-users] My $.02 worth of well-deserved praise for Bacula.
Back in December I got Bacula up and running on a Solaris 8 machine using a Quantum Suplerloader 3 autochanger that's equipped with both magazines and a single LT03 drive. Bacula is running great, doing it's job wonderfully. It's capabilities, robustness, flexibility and ease of use far exceeds those of the Legato software we were using with our old tape drive.

Hello, You will surely get better help by asking on the bacula-users list. However, what I do note is that you are attempting to configure three databases, and Bacula works with only one of those three.

[Bacula-users] Optimizing bacula in large filesystems
The servers that I am backing up with bacula have on the order of 11TB of data 4.5 million files. The data resides on NAS appliances that are incapable of running the bacula FD natively so I'm forced to back the data up over GbE and NFS mounted on the server that is running DIR, SD, FD and the db. The server is a 2cpu 2+GHz Xeon Solaris 10 x86 server with 4GB of RAM. It's currently taking 36+ hours from the start of the backup job to when the first files are written to tape. This makes it difficult to do incremental backups in a reasonable timeframe. I've seen mention here on the list of others backing up multi-terabyte servers - I'm looking for suggestions on how to optimize and speed up the backup process. Thanks!

Re: [Bacula-users] Optimizing bacula in large filesystems
On Wednesday 10 January 2007 22:48, Alan Davis wrote: The servers that I am backing up with bacula have on the order of 11TB of data 4.5 million files. The data resides on NAS appliances that are incapable of running the bacula FD natively so I'm forced to back the data up over GbE and NFS mounted on the server that is running DIR, SD, FD and the db. The server is a 2cpu 2+GHz Xeon Solaris 10 x86 server with 4GB of RAM. It's currently taking 36+ hours from the start of the backup job to when the first files are written to tape. This makes it difficult to do incremental backups in a reasonable timeframe. Even with 4.5 million files, which is rather large, it should not be more than 5 or 10 minutes before Bacula finds the first file in an incremental backup and begins writing it to tape (assuming you are not using spooling). I suspect that you have an *extremely* slow NAS or some other major bottleneck (network, NFS, ...). It seems to me that you not only have something that has a bottleneck, but it has a monsterous bottleneck that I even have difficulties imagining unless you are talking about another software product or trying to do a restore, which for 4.5 million files could be very time consuming. Bacula simply reads the filesystem directories and writes out files that need backing up. There is no preliminary time intensive setup before Bacula begins working as in some other programs. I've seen mention here on the list of others backing up multi-terabyte servers - I'm looking for suggestions on how to optimize and speed up the backup process. Thanks!

Hi Kern That may be, but I am on dialup, and was not connected to the Internet, so couldn't check for subscription rules, or subscribe if needed etc. Your name came up when I was looking for someone to complain to Nor am I wildly enthusiastic about subscribing to a list just to report what looks like a bug. It is not a bug, and it is not absolutely necessary to subscribe to the list, but better even if it is for a short time. However, what I do note is that you are attempting to configure three databases, and Bacula works with only one of those three. I'm trying to do a generic build (how else would one create a deb or rpm?); in any event I don't see that my problem arises because I'm building support for multiple databases, it's because configure is looking for a file (sqlite.h) that does not exist (not in FC5 nor any other release of Linux I could find - I have several Fedoras, CentOS 4, SUSE10 and packages for some others to hand). There is no single generic binary that works with more one database. Though with some work one could build an installation package that asks what db you want to use and buids and/or installs the correct binary. It seems to me that configure should be looking for is sqlite3.h. SUSE10 does have sqlite.h, it's in sqlite2-devel. I'm thinking more than the file name needs to be changed to use the version of sqlite everyone's distributing (Debian seems to have 2 and 3). On the two above points, I believe I have already correctly explained the solution in my previous email. If you want to use SQLite3 then I believe that you need to say something like: ./configure --with-sqlite3 I have just checked this and it is correct. The README and INSTALL do not mention that, and on Fedora RHEL one does not have a package sqlite3, it's sqlite. Well the README and INSTALL are extremely general and possibly out of date. You need to read the manual to understand the build options, procedure and installation. Without the manual, it is virtually impossible to build, install and run Bacula.

Hi, On 1/10/2007 4:18 PM, Flak Magnet wrote: I'm using an autochanger and a scratch pool for new volumes. Each month I remove from the autochanger all the tapes from one backup job that uses the CADArchive pool. They are stored off-site. Right now the backup spans two disks with the 2nd one about 1/2 full. When a job runs that needs a tape from the CADArchive pool, will Bacula: 1. Detect that there are no CADArchive volumes in the autochanger, relabel one from the Scratch pool and run the job using that relabeled tape. I'm unsure... that behaviour has changed in the past, and it's kind of hard to say which behaviour is best. 2. Notice that there is an appendable volume from the CADArchive pool, ask for it and wait until it's loaded or the maxwait time is reached. #1 is how I think it will behave, and how I want it to behave. If #2 is the behavior I should expect, what do I do to close the appendable volume so Bacula will use a new tape from the Scratch pool? Set the VolStatus to Used. Also, look up the Maximum Use Duration for volumes. And wait some time - I'll have a tool to manage your task ready some time soon.

[Bacula-users] [SPAM: 8.456] Can't figure out how to use rpmbuild
Hey all, I'm getting stuck trying to install bacula 2.0.0 on a fc5 box. I've decided to try the rpm method of installation this time. I tried to follow the manual ( http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Bacula_RPM_Packaging_FAQ.html ), and when I ran my rpmbuild command, it looks like it's doing it's thing for a few minutes...and then...nothing. It doesn't appear to install anything to run. I'm new to working with rpms (gotta love yum), so I wonder if I'm just making some simple mistake somewhere. In the manual, it says to run two lines. But the first command doesn't seem to work. The following was copied from my console: # rpmbuild -ba --define build_fc5 1 --define build_mysql5 1 bacula.spec error: failed to stat /var/tmp/bacula.spec: No such file or directory So, I ignord that, and went to the second line. Here is what I ran: # rpmbuild --rebuild --define build_fc5 1 --define build_mysql5 1 bacula-2.0.0-1.src.rpm This is the one which is the one that appeared to do its thing, but then ended without having anything to run. From the manual, my only guess is that I should have something in /var/bacula. But nothing is there. The only bacula filepaths I have on this system is a bunch of stuff in the /usr/src/ directory.

[Bacula-users] Autochanger Slots and InChanger fields
I could just not be sane, but this seems weird to me. I'm using an autochanger with one drive, no barcode reader, and I'm using bacula 2.0.0 and MySQL 5.0.20. I see this behavior: 1. I label a tape. (This isn't the strange part) Bacula loads the tape from the specified slot and labels it. At this point Bacula knows that that particular volume is in the changer, and lives in the specifed slot. So it sets the Slot and InChanger fields appropiately. list volumes confirms this. 2. A job runs and uses the new volume. It's not full yet, so it's status is set to Append after the job finishes. But list volumes also shows that InChanger is 0, and Slot is 0. I don't see why that would change, since bacula never removed the tape from the drive, let along have any reason to think it's been removed from the tape changer. 3. I use mount to load the tape from that slot (or any other slot with a labeled tape). Bacula correctly fetches the tape and reads it's label. Says so in the message log. This time it doesn't update the database though, and the tape's InChanger and Slot fields aren't touched. Seems to me like they should be. 4. Because of this weirdness, if I were to do something like run a job to Tape 1, then pre-label Tape 2 and 3 with the label command, subsequent jobs will start writing with Tape 2 and 3, and then bacula will stop when it runs out of room, instead of using the free space it should? be aware of locally on Tape 1. Does this all make sense? Am I misunderstanding something about the tape handling? Thanks, Andrew Fabian - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Bacula-users] Archive file selection Windows Client
Dear All I have started using version 2.0.0 and all is going very well to date - thanks to the developers. I have hit one problem in that a Windows client's Incremental backup was as large as its Full backup - it was not changed from Incremental to Full due to no Full backup in the catalog. Other workstations are fine that is no massive incremental backup. May I ask if it is the file date and time on the client or the archive attribute on the windows client file is what determines if it is to be backed up?
