[Bacula-users] mtx-changer script - a few hairs left...
Hi List :)
At this time, I have a few hairs left on my head...(I recall a few
e-mails claiming this was easy to do and ran fine)...evidently my
bacula-fu is weak...
I'm (still) running Bacula Version: 1.38.11 (28 June 2006) with a
single, external HP DLT IV VS80 40/80G drive. Platform is FreeBSD6.1 on
a P4/256 with *lots* of disk space.
I'm trying to get the mtx-changer script
(http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/mtx-changer.txt) to work to provide
auto-eject, auto-notify and auto-resume functionality. There may be
other, better ways to do this (feel free to suggest), but the
mtx-changer seemed to fit the bill.
I've been following the instructions on
http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Autochanger_Support.html.
According to the above link - That each Volume (tape) to be used must
be defined in the Catalog and have a Slot number assigned to it so that
Bacula knows where the Volume is in the autochanger. This is generally
done with the label command. See below for more details. You must
pre-label the tapes manually before using them.
Q1 - Do I need to do this *before* bacula has been told about the
auto-changer? So I label all of my tapes and then update the volume
manually assigning a slot number (in relation to how they have been
listed in the mtx-changer script)? Or, do I make bacula
autochanger-aware and *then* label my tapes? (so it prompts me for what
slot to use?)...or does it not matter on a well-functioning system?
My Storage Daemon's configuration is:
# Our pseudo-autochanger
#Autochanger {
# Name = DLT-PSEUDO-CHANGER
# Device = HP-DLT-VS80-01
# Changer Device = /dev/nsa0
# Changer Command = /usr/local/bin/mtx-changer %o %a %S
#}
# HP tape drive configuration
Device {
Name = HP-DLT-VS80-01
Description = HP DLT VS80 EXTERNAL
Media Type = HPDLT-IV
Archive Device = /dev/nsa0
RemovableMedia = yes
AutomaticMount = yes
AlwaysOpen = yes
Label Media = yes
Device Type = tape
Offline On Unmount = no
Hardware End of Medium = no
BSF at EOM = yes
Backward Space Record = no
Fast Forward Space File = no
TWO EOF = yes
# Autochanger = yes
}
Elements have been commented out because I keep reverting back to a
single-drive operation...Offline On Unmount was commented out because I
had to keep walking across the building to re-insert the tapedoes
the above config look sane?
Also, the Director is configured using:
Storage {
Name= nasbox-sd
Address = nasbox1
SDPort = 9103
Password= m00c0wTheGreat
# Device = DLT-PSEUDO-CHANGER
Device = HP-DLT-VS80-01
Media Type = HPDLT-IV
# Autochanger = yes
}
Again, comments applied to revert to single-drive operation.
Permissions on /dev/nsa0 are:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 rootwheel6 Jan 1 1970 nsa0 - nsa0.0
crw-rw-rw- 1 rootbacula 0, 94 Feb 26 19:55 nsa0.0
As per Bacula documentation, /etc/devfs.conf:
own nsa0.0 root:bacula
permnsa0.0 0666
Here's a second problem...when I undo the comments on the above
configurations and stop/start fd/sd/dir, tail -f /var/log/mtx.log shows:
Tue Feb 27 11:26:59 EAT 2007 : loaded /dev/nsa0 0
mtx-changer: Request loaded, dev /dev/nsa0
This would seem to be a problem (at least for me)...the mtx-changer
script does a stat stor to implement the loaded command - this
causes a chicken-before-the-egg lock up. Looking at ps waux we see:

[Bacula-users] FileSet doc suggestions + question
hi all.
setting up my test system i ran into some problems with the FileSet.
first of all, it took me a while to figure out, that only the File
sections are used to calculate the hash of the FileSet.
since i decided (probably because of wron assumptions) that i would do
most of the generic inclusion/exclusion in the Options{} SubResource,
my hash would not change, making me wrongly believe, that the FileSet
was not read correctly (since bacula would only do incremental backups
and not upgrade to Full backups, even though i did change something).
probably it would be nice to make it explicit in the manual, that only
the File sections of Include{} and Exlcude{} are used for the Hash.
my second problem myteriously resolved while i am writing this email
(cheerio to systematic testing!):
i would like to NOT backup all directories named tmp (e.g. /tmp AND
/home/user1/tmp AND /home/user2/subdir/tmp)
in theory this should be fairly simple, no?
i tried to specify wilddir as tmp, tmp/ and even as /tmp and
/tmp/ (though i had little hope with the last 2 ones), in the
Options{}-resource of Include{} (of course with 'exclude=yes').
however, this did not work.
i finally found out that i had to use 'wilddir = */tmp'.
(it is fairly simple to exclude directories where you do know the full
path before hand; however this may not work if you allow users to have
their own directory layout in their home directories)
i couldn't find any hint in the documentation, and i think this might be
interesting to a lot of people.
(but probably they are just faster with understanding FileSet's ;-))
finally:
is it possible to use other exclusion mechanisms, e.g. by file-size?
or do i have to write my own scripts to achieve something like this?

Umm, how is this silent? ;) Probably because Florian wrote that without mumbling the words while typing? ;-) I never noticed bacula didn't track media errors, but this *is* a missing feature As far as I know, Bacula does keep track of all errors it encounters. One of the current problems on many operating systems is that they return an I/O error at the end of the tape (Linux handles it correctly, if I remember right), so tracking the errors may not be accurate. Bacula does not ask the SCSI controller for the soft errors -- i.e. those which are not seen by the program. Yes, and that's part of the reason for the feature request Adam and I submitted some time ago :-) I wasn't aware of the difference between soft and hard errors, but that's obviously important. - the backup tool is expected to have error counters for tape devices and media, both will fail lots once things scale up as they're just parts that wear off over time and one needs an indicator for replacing things on time. usually a tape should be blocked from being recycled after a certain point and a tape drive should be disabled for intervention. Sounds like you want to get this onto the projects page,and ready for the next vote. In my opinion that has already taken place: Item 25: Improve Bacula's tape and drive usage and cleaning management. Yes, and I hope a big part of this can be resolved by Python scripting even if most users may not like this idea. It will in the long run provide a lot more flexibility. Perhaps in the next major release, someone (or I) can create a nice set of Python scripts that really do something useful and can be a sort of default that users can tweak as they wish ... Currently item 7 - and I notice that the projects page on the web site is kind of broken. The overview and the actual descriptions are not representing the current state, I believe. The projects file that is in the trunk of the SVN should be pretty close to the current state as I recently updated it. Or someone could just do the work. If this is to be done, it must be modular: not every OS will collect the errors the same way. It may even differ from device to device. I had discussed some of that with Kern quite a while ago. He suggested to keep the 'status poller' in an extra script or program, similar to mtx-changer. That does sound reasonable, and there even is a configuration directive for that purpose in existence: AlertCommand. We would only need a defined interface to return status information in a way that the SD can easily parse. In the thread 'Cleaning Jobs' on -users I presented some ideas that could be used, because the problem of cleaning job and this one here are tightly related: Basically, and as a first step, it's about getting status information from the drive at regular intervals. These need to be passed to the DIR, which could put them into the catalog, and which would have to determine if any action is necessary - drive cleaning, requesting operator assistence, or disabling the drive or tape altogether. Looks like Adam and I did not understand what our feature request should have contained, but we can always rewrite it. Quite soon, possibly :-) Good idea -- you might also discuss with Eric what he is currently working on for tracking Device statistics since he is currently implementing many things that you will probably want (real read/write times, ...). Also, I met Andrew Morton (the stable Linux kernel maintainer) at FOSDEM, and he agreed with me that the current Linux tape interface is rather primitive and promised to help me get in touch with the SCSI kernel developer. I would like to see some significant improvements in the information returned by ioctl() -- mainly whether or not there is a tape in the drive, but perhaps we can define an interface that will directly return a lot of the tape statistics that interest us (tape soft/hard errors, read/write counts/times, ...). - Take Surveys.

[Bacula-users] Alaways using the inserted volume and auto label if needed
Dear list, I got a bacula setup with a number of tapes that are switched on a daily basis during the week. During the weekend the same tape stays in. There are about 11 tapes in the rotation (but this shouldn't matter). The desired behaviour is that bacula should not demand other tapes and always use the inserted one no matter what. It should not matter if the tape is not already labelled, used or if any other Volume is marked as recycled. If the tape is not labelled yet, it should be labelled. My approach (of which I'm not sure if it does work as intented) is to set AutoPrune to 'no' (so old volumes don't get pruned and purged automatically and are not chosen over the inserted volume). Second I set VolumeRetention to a small time span, say '10 days', and Recycle Current Volume to 'yes' so that the current tape will be recycled and used (my rotation is longer than 10 days, so this should suffice). Is this approach correct? Is there any other method to achieve the desired behaviour? Cheers, Philipp - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Nice. Thanks for reporting that. It is always nice to be faster than the big

By the way, I imagine you have done so, but please run a btape test to
ensure that your new Device resource works correctly with your drive. I have
no reason to believe that it won't but it is always good to check.
btape test is not 100% foolproof, but it will catch a lot of subtile
problems that could show up later ...
I love it. :)

Hi list,
first of all i will thanks the developer of this great software.
I have a question about the bacula tape handling.
Environment: FreeBSD amd64 6.2 Bacula 2.0.2 Autochanger MSL6030 with two
LTO-2 drives.
Backup an Restore worked how i expected.
But the restore of selected files from a backup is very slow.
Tested with to jobs one restore 102mb an a solaris server. Takes 50
minutes to restore. The second job was restore 400mb on a windows 2003
server. This takes 1h and 20 minutes.
Now the question.
When i do a restore job in bacula. The SD load the Tape for the restore.
How get Bacula the position of the files.
Any settings to the sd-conf or the dir-conf to force bacula to write a
signature an the tape to speed the spool of the drive up?
Sorry for the bad english.
I hope anyone understand my question.
Tim

Re: [Bacula-users] Does bacula track and or store tape soft errors?
On Mon, 26 Feb 2007, Rex Wheeler wrote: Do you have the expertise to write something which can parse this information or would it need to go on the Bacula wishlist? I do have the expertise, but not sure about the time. It would be a reasonable undertaking. It would involve: 1) Updating the storage daemon to send the appropriate SCSI commands to inquire about error counts at mount and unmount times (or possibly with each block read / write.) This shouldn't be too bad as the sg_logs utility is out there and can access these statistics. The code could either be pulled from that tool, or the storage daemon could just call that tool and parse the results. Loading/unloadng is handled by external scripts, so could be quite modular. 2) Updating the configuration syntax and parser for the storage daemon so the soft error recording logic could be enabled from the configuration file. This is likely more complex 3) Changing the protocol between the storage daemon and the director to include the new soft error count information. 4) Changing the protocol between the director and the catalog service to include the new soft error count information. 5) Changing the schema in the configuration store to hold this new information. 6) Other stuff I haven't though of because I have only about an hour of looking at the bacula source code. If this is done in an external program then things are somewhat easier. There is already some scripting logic in place to flag to the operator when cleaning is needed or other errors have been encountered and it would be terrific if more detailed stats were kept on individual tapes - Take Surveys.

[Bacula-users] Backup Windows System to a NAS
Hi,
I'm trying to set up bacula 2.0.2 to back up Windows XP (for testing,
later Win2k3 Server for production) to a NAS (supporting SMB) with no
success. The problem is to access the smb share with the storage daemon.
First I changed the account for the storage daemon / service to a local
user account (the account I'm logged in).
Then I tried this:
bacula-sd.conf
...
Device {
Name = FileStorage
Media Type = File
Archive Device = pegasus\\backup
LabelMedia = yes # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes
AutomaticMount = yes # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no
AlwaysOpen = no
}
...
then this (share mounted manually):
bacula-sd.conf
...
Device {
Name = FileStorage
Media Type = File
Archive Device = L:\\
LabelMedia = yes # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes
AutomaticMount = yes # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no
AlwaysOpen = no
}
...
and this:
bacula-sd.conf
...
Device {
Name = FileStorage
Media Type = File
Archive Device = L:\\
LabelMedia = yes # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes
AlwaysOpen = no
RequiresMount = yes
MountPoint = L:\\
MountCommand = \C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\NET USE L:
netdisk1\\backup /PERSISTENT:NO\
UnmountCommand = \C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\NET USE L: /DELETE\
}
...
I always get a error message like this:

That configuration looks funny... is that an autochanger or a single
drive? The configuration looks like a 1.36 one - i.e. no separate
autochanger section - but that was not ported to windows.
I don't have an autochanger. The last four lines were added recently to achive
that a tape
is automatically ejected, that a new inserted tape is mounted automatically and
that a new
tape is also automatically labeled. The idea behind was, that a normal user
could change
the tape himself and that no admin is needed to mount the tape etc.. These
lines were
actually taken from this list some days ago(Erich Prinz - Win32
mtx-changer.cmd and
single drive).

But there are attributes still spooled... looks like the SD

Is that possible, i.e. did the Job finish some time after you

I looked in the log and the Full Backup showed a Termination:***

If it did not, I'd like to see the 'sta dir' output, because above you

any output showing us how it did wait :-)
Arno you're right, that was a mistake on my side. The yesterday evening backup
was
normally executed.
Do you have a clue why the director couldn't get the record for JobId 97?

Hi All,
Running a status dir command in bconsole essentially hangs the console.
I am running bacula-dir 2.0.1 on Centos 4.3 with a MySQL backend.
Having checked the MySQL database is approx 2.5G in size. Obviously
this is getting to be a little on the large size, so I have run dbcheck
and selected Eliminate orphaned Job records. There are 3 to remove.
I believe this is working as the mysql daemon is now using 95% of my cpu
:-), however it has been running for a little while, so I was looking
for some examples of configuration tips for optimal usage of bacula boxes.
We are going to be configuring several machines to back up 100+ servers
on our network, to allow for us to split the network load etc. The data
will be held as 1 full backup taken every sunday and then six
incremental backups.
With this in mind I wanted to check the following settings in the dir
that we create for every client we are to backup:

That configuration looks funny... is that an autochanger or a single

I don't have an autochanger. The last four lines were added recently to
achive that a tape
is automatically ejected, that a new inserted tape is mounted automatically
and that a new
tape is also automatically labeled. The idea behind was, that a normal user
could change
the tape himself and that no admin is needed to mount the tape etc.. These
lines were
actually taken from this list some days ago(Erich Prinz - Win32

Ah, ok. Well, unfortunately I didn't follow that thread, but I think I
get a general understanding of what you set up...
Data spooling: 0 active jobs, 0 bytes; 7 total jobs, 2,000,050,371 max
bytes/job.
Attr spooling: 1 active jobs, 9,135,494 bytes; 6 total jobs, 17,783,343 max
bytes.
But there are attributes still spooled... looks like the SD
is currently despooling attributes after a completed job.
Is that possible, i.e. did the Job finish some time after you
wrote your mail?
I looked in the log and the Full Backup showed a Termination:***

***. See below for the whole log entry of that job.
If it did not, I'd like to see the 'sta dir' output, because above you
state that the director is still waiting for a tape but didn't give
any output showing us how it did wait :-)
Arno you're right, that was a mistake on my side. The yesterday evening
backup was
normally executed.
Good to hear.
Do you have a clue why the director couldn't get the record for JobId 97?
No, that's hard to tell... usually, that would indicate a database
problem. Like when your database was shutdown and immediately restarted,
but then you would normally see more errors.
Anyway, this is hard to analyze whan it was a unique, one-time problem.
If this problem persists, you should closely observer the backups, and
tje database, too.

Hi All,
Running a status dir command in bconsole essentially hangs the console.
That's ususally because there is some hard catalog work happening.
Simply wait...
I am running bacula-dir 2.0.1 on Centos 4.3 with a MySQL backend.
Having checked the MySQL database is approx 2.5G in size. Obviously
this is getting to be a little on the large size, so I have run dbcheck
and selected Eliminate orphaned Job records. There are 3 to remove.
That's not much. Anyway, file and path records might take up much more
space in the catalog.
I believe this is working as the mysql daemon is now using 95% of my cpu
:-), however it has been running for a little while, so I was looking
for some examples of configuration tips for optimal usage of bacula boxes.
That looks like the (more or less common) problem of suboptimal indexes.
Check which indexes exist for your catalog database, and compare that to
what has been discussed on this list some times...
We are going to be configuring several machines to back up 100+ servers
on our network, to allow for us to split the network load etc. The data
will be held as 1 full backup taken every sunday and then six
incremental backups.
With this in mind I wanted to check the following settings in the dir
that we create for every client we are to backup:
Client {
Name = srv-IP_IP_IP_IP
Address = blahblahblah.ukfast.net
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = passwordhere
File Retention = 30 days (can this be changed to 7 days?)
Job Retention = 6 months (can this be changed to 7 days?)
You can shorten these retention times, but personally I would try to
keep at least two backup generations. When doing weekly full backups,
your retention times should then be about two weeks.
AutoPrune = yes
}
Storage {
Name = file-IP_IP_IP_IP
Address = storage_device.ukfast
SDPort = 9103
Password = storagepasswordhere
Device = storage-IP_IP_IP_IP
Media Type = File
}
JobDefs {
Name = IP_IP_IP_IP Job
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = srv-IP_IP_IP_IP
FileSet = Full Set
Schedule = WeeklyCycle
Storage = file-IP_IP_IP_IP
Messages = Standard
Pool = pool-IP_IP_IP_IP
Priority = 10
}
Job {
Name = IP_IP_IP_IP Job
JobDefs = IP_IP_IP_IP Job
Write Bootstrap = /home/bacula/bootstraps/srv-IP_IP_IP_IP.bsr
}
Pool {
Name = pool-IP_IP_IP_IP
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Recycle = yes
Maximum Volumes = 5
Maximum Volume Jobs = 7
Maximum Volume Bytes = 5g
VolumeRetention = 7d
Volume Use Duration = 0
LabelFormat = srv-IP_IP_IP_IP-
}
I have a couple of settings that I have queried in brackets - would
these affect the size of the MySQL database?
Perhaps - most of the catalog is usually used by the File table, and
that remains more or less stable in size unless you have many new file
names on a regular basis.
Also, should dbcheck be configured to run regularly (IE through cron say
once a day)?
I would not do that on a daily basis... in most installations I know,
running dbcheck once every few months is sufficient, but there are cases
where a more regular schedule can be advisable.
This has been discussed recently, and someone mentioned mail storage as
one example where you get lots and lots of new file names every day
which will vanish soon - and then, running dbcheck can really reduce the
catalog size.
Does anyone have any further tips - I'd like to get all this in place
before I have to roll out a bunch of these machines thanks :-)
I'd recommend to check the database indexes first.

I want to force bacula to do the scheduled type of backup (incr, diff, full) and nothing different. That should happen anyway, with one important exception: When there's no full backup left, Bacula will run one instead of what you scheduled. The Rerun failed levels setting can lead to multiple attempts to do backups of a higher level after a job failed, but you'd know this because you have to set this up explicitly, I think. On one client many files changed, and bacula made a fullbackup instead of a diff backup like it was scheduled. No. I mean, possibly many files changed, and possibly Bacula ran a full instead of a differental backup, but as far as I know there would not be a causal correlation between both. I now deleted the full backup and want bacula to do the diff backup even if it is nearly a full backup - how do I do this? I don't think you can do that, because I guess that there *is* no longer a previous full backup known to Bacula. There is one... Full-0001 the next backup will create a Full-0002. Hmmm... then I really don't see why Bacula would insist on doing a full backup next time... anyway, there might be failed full jobs in between. In the restore command, you will only be presented with jobs that ran ok. If the last full is considered broken, Bacula will upgrade a differential to a new full job.

[Bacula-users] What to do when tape full?
What is the procedure to follow when a tape is full? I have a tape drive with 40/80 DLT tape that fills up over 2-3 months. Then one night the tape gets full, and the job running at the time is blocked. At this point, I unmount in bconsole, physically eject the tape and put in a new or pre-labeled tape (which is past the volume retention). The status of the storage at this point is Device is BLOCKED. User unmounted during wait for media/mount. I label the new tape or mount the pre-labeled. At that point, the status of the storage is shown as mounted with such and such volume. But the jobs never start, and the status also shows that Device is BLOCKED waiting for media right below the line stating the device is mounted with a certain volume of a certain pool. I've tried various commands such as add, update, etc. and looked at the User's Guide for hints, but I always end up rebooting to get past this point. This happens whether or not the pool for the jobs queued have other volumes defined. All of the jobs use this one pool. What is the correct way to handle this basic case? Thanks. It's here!

I agree and your position is true. Can you tell me what method you have in mind for changing permissions?

Can you tell me what method you have in mind for changing permissions? A shell line inside /etc/init.d/bacula-sd.conf (I use Fedora) with the chmod previously said or a different command? I suppose you're using a recent (2) version of fedora, so your system should be running udev. If that's the case, you just need to tell udev which owner/group/permissions you want that device node to be created with. Create a file named 10-tape.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d with the following line in it: KERNEL==nst0, OWNER=foo, GROUP=bar, MODE=0660 If you don't need to set the owner or group simply leave out the corresponding section. Taking a look at the udev documentation on rule writing might also be a good idea, since there is much more you can do with it. Andrea - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Hello Arno,
It looks like the retention periods are set incorrectly since the Volume was

Ah, ok... in that case, you should do an 'llist volume=...' (IIRC) with
the volume in question. And,of course, also check your pool and client
settings for their retention times, and also keep in mind that
individual volumes may need to be updated to have their retention times
updated after a pool change...
And, of course, this shows how important it is to report problems with
the right sort of information attached to it :-)

That configuration looks funny... is that an autochanger or a single

autochanger section - but that was not ported to windows.
I don't have an autochanger. The last four lines were added recently to
achive that a tape is automatically ejected, that a new inserted tape is
mounted automatically and that a new tape is also automatically labeled.
The idea behind was, that a normal user could change the tape himself and
that no admin is needed to mount the tape etc.. These lines were actually
taken from this list some days ago(Erich Prinz - Win32 mtx-changer.cmd
and single drive).
Ah, ok. Well, unfortunately I didn't follow that thread, but I think I
get a general understanding of what you set up...
Data spooling: 0 active jobs, 0 bytes; 7 total jobs, 2,000,050,371 max
bytes/job. Attr spooling: 1 active jobs, 9,135,494 bytes; 6 total jobs,
17,783,343 max bytes.
But there are attributes still spooled... looks like the SD
is currently despooling attributes after a completed job.
Is that possible, i.e. did the Job finish some time after you
wrote your mail?
I looked in the log and the Full Backup showed a Termination:
*** Backup Error ***. See below for the whole log entry of that job.
If it did not, I'd like to see the 'sta dir' output, because above you
state that the director is still waiting for a tape but didn't give
any output showing us how it did wait :-)
Arno you're right, that was a mistake on my side. The yesterday evening
backup was normally executed.
Good to hear.
Do you have a clue why the director couldn't get the record for JobId 97?
No, that's hard to tell... usually, that would indicate a database
problem. Like when your database was shutdown and immediately restarted,
but then you would normally see more errors.
Anyway, this is hard to analyze whan it was a unique, one-time problem.
If this problem persists, you should closely observer the backups, and
tje database, too.
Thanks

[Bacula-users] Restore Problem / File Retention
Hello everybody!
After getting some storages together at last I have a really bad problem
when I try to restore some files. As I got some Windows and some Linux
Servers to Backup I put them onto different storages and here comes the
problem:
I created the following job definition for the restore:
Job {
Name = restore-linux-server
Type = Restore
Client = linux-server
FileSet = linux-server-set
Storage = StorageDaemon-LinuxServer
Pool = linux-pool
Messages = Standard
Where = /tmp/bacula-restores
}
But after I marked the files and typed done, Bacula wants to create a job
with the windows storage daemon rather the one that is listed in the job
definition above. Even when I modify the job so that I should use the
right storage daemon it still tries to use the windows storage daemon and
creates the following error message:
08-Feb 12:54 StorageDaemon: restore-linux-server.2007-02-08_12.54.51 Fatal
error: acquire.c:109 Read open device Storage-WindowsServer
(/mnt/windows-server-bac
kup) Volume linux failed: ERR=dev.c:450 Could not open:
/mnt/windows-server-backup/linux, ERR=Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht
gefunden
I hope that someone here can help as I really dont know what to do about it.
Thanks a lot in advance.

P.S.: It would be glad if someone could also tell me how to answer to
posts in this mailinglist as I dont want to put all my posts on the top

[Bacula-users] bacula not responding
Hi All,
Running a status dir command in bconsole essentially hangs the console.
I am running bacula-dir 2.0.1 on Centos 4.3 with a MySQL backend.
Having checked the MySQL database is approx 2.5G in size. Obviously
this is getting to be a little on the large size, so I have run dbcheck
and selected Eliminate orphaned Job records. There are 3 to remove.
I believe this is working as the mysql daemon is now using 95% of my cpu
:-), however it has been running for a little while, so I was looking
for some examples of configuration tips for optimal usage of bacula boxes.
We are going to be configuring several machines to back up 100+ servers
on our network, to allow for us to split the network load etc. The data
will be held as 1 full backup taken every sunday and then six
incremental backups.
With this in mind I wanted to check the following settings in the dir
that we create for every client we are to backup:
Client {
Name = srv-IP_IP_IP_IP
Address = blahblahblah.ukfast.net
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = passwordhere
File Retention = 30 days (can this be changed to 7 days?)
Job Retention = 6 months (can this be changed to 7 days?)
AutoPrune = yes
}
Storage {
Name = file-IP_IP_IP_IP
Address = storage_device.ukfast
SDPort = 9103
Password = storagepasswordhere
Device = storage-IP_IP_IP_IP
Media Type = File
}
JobDefs {
Name = IP_IP_IP_IP Job
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = srv-IP_IP_IP_IP
FileSet = Full Set
Schedule = WeeklyCycle
Storage = file-IP_IP_IP_IP
Messages = Standard
Pool = pool-IP_IP_IP_IP
Priority = 10
}
Job {
Name = IP_IP_IP_IP Job
JobDefs = IP_IP_IP_IP Job
Write Bootstrap = /home/bacula/bootstraps/srv-IP_IP_IP_IP.bsr
}
Pool {
Name = pool-IP_IP_IP_IP
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Recycle = yes
Maximum Volumes = 5
Maximum Volume Jobs = 7
Maximum Volume Bytes = 5g
VolumeRetention = 7d
Volume Use Duration = 0
LabelFormat = srv-IP_IP_IP_IP-
}
I have a couple of settings that I have queried in brackets - would
these affect the size of the MySQL database?
Also, should dbcheck be configured to run regularly (IE through cron say
once a day)?
Does anyone have any further tips - I'd like to get all this in place
before I have to roll out a bunch of these machines thanks :-)

Re: [Bacula-users] What to do when tape full?

What is the procedure to follow when a tape is full? I have a tape drive with
40/80 DLT tape that fills up over 2-3 months. Then one night the tape gets

I use the following for my DLT drive that automatically ejects the

You never have to reboot. if the job will not cancel restarting the
storage daemon will do the trick. For me this is
/etc/init.d/bacula-sd restart

Re: [Bacula-users] Restore Problem / File Retention
Hello,

Hello everybody!
After getting some storages together at last I have a really bad problem
when I try to restore some files. As I got some Windows and some Linux
Servers to Backup I put them onto different storages and here comes the
problem:
I created the following job definition for the restore:
Job {
Name = restore-linux-server
Type = Restore
Client = linux-server
FileSet = linux-server-set
Storage = StorageDaemon-LinuxServer
Pool = linux-pool
Messages = Standard
Where = /tmp/bacula-restores
}
But after I marked the files and typed done, Bacula wants to create a job
with the windows storage daemon rather the one that is listed in the job
definition above. Even when I modify the job so that I should use the
right storage daemon it still tries to use the windows storage daemon
The quick work around is to symlink the file to where it wants it.
and
creates the following error message:
08-Feb 12:54 StorageDaemon: restore-linux-server.2007-02-08_12.54.51 Fatal

I hope that someone here can help as I really dont know what to do about it.
Thanks a lot in advance.
I assume you have the same file type for the two storage devices you
created, which will lead to the problems you encounter.
Set up different file types and things should go much better. (This is
mentioned in the manual, I believe.)

Erm, I ususally simply press the Reply to all button and remove the

handle mailing list mail better by itself - I miss a Reply to list

You're using SquirrelMail, which is a web mailer, which is something I
really don't like. So, my recommendaton is to set up a proper mail client.

[Bacula-users] Few notes regarding the restricted console commands
Hi Recently I tested the patch that fix the bug 767 (see bugs.bacula.org). The patch works fine - the restricted console is not able anymore to cancel running jobs that not belongs to it. With this occasion I tested other commands and I found few things which, in my opinion, should be mentioned, maybe for future references: - the shortcuts for commands (for example st or sta instead of status) can't be used in a restricted console, except the case when the shortcuts are literally mentioned in the CommandACL. - the command help retuns the full commands list and, for a restricted user, typing commands that returns ... is an invalid command can be frustrating because the user have no idea about the allowed commands - the show command returns information related to other jobs than the ones configured in the restricted console configuration file - the query command allows queries against job ids different than the ones related to the restricted console. Based on this, I get the volume names and job ids for other bacula clients and I tried to restore some files. It's true I wasn't able to restore any files from other jobs, but I was able to browse the files list. One mention here - this is true only when the restore command is used and not when the restore tab is used in wx-console. Daniel - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula Director daemon does not start on boot
usually a service in bacula doesn't start at boot because it is running as the wrong user. While when you manually invoke it, it is running as the correct user. Make sure the scripts being used to start the director deamon have the correct permissions. Jason David Hatcher wrote: I run the Bacula (v2.0.1) server on a Fedora Core 5 machine named BACULA.

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula-dir won't start from a script
First of all, we need to know what OS you are trying this on. Secondly, when you create a script you need to tell the script which shell you will be using in the first line of the script: #!/bin/bash or something like that. Take a look at some of your other shell scripts. Also if you are using this script to start the service automatically you have to make sure you are running it as the correct user. You shouldn't have to create a Script to start a single line service though. You could put the command in the bootup process of your particular distro.

On Fedora 6, I have the following services (created by the RPM's): bacula-dir bacula-sd bacula-fd So, in my case, to set bacula-dir to start on boot: # chkconfig bacula-dir on This will set it to start automatically for several run levels (not sure off the top of my head, but 3 and 5 for sure). To disable auto start: # chkconfig bacula-dir off To check the auto start status: # chkconfig --list | grep bacula -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason King Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2007 15:58 To: David Hatcher; bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula Director daemon does not start on boot usually a service in bacula doesn't start at boot because it is running as the wrong user. While when you manually invoke it, it is running as the correct user. Make sure the scripts being used to start the director deamon have the correct permissions.

[Bacula-users] Advise debugging bweb / bconsole issues
Have a working Bacula install, and have been working on getting Bweb running. Mostly it works, but a few parts do not. Commands like 'Jobs / Defined Jobs', and 'Current Jobs' from a clients list have problems -- there is a delay loading the page (30-40 seconds), and finally the page (with no defined jobs, or no client status). I figure this has something to do with spawning bconsole, or communicating with it. But I cannot determine what the problem is. I have set permissions on bconsole to be executable by the httpd uid, and set the bconsole.conf and bweb.conf file permissions accordingly. I use the configuration /usr/sbin/bconsole -n -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf in the bweb.conf file. Setting debugging on does not provide any useful information. Only debugging I'm finding is in httpd/error_log: [Tue Feb 27 20:19:03 2007] [error] [client 10.1.10.112] Use of uninitialized value in scalar assignment at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Bconsole.pm line 153., referer: http://eagle/cgi-bin/bweb.pl?action=client Does anyone have advice on how to debug problems with bweb talking to bconsole?
