Re: [Bacula-users] upgrade from 1.38.9 to 2.0.3 and moving to a new server

What would be the best approach - move and then upgrade, or upgrade and then move, or install the new server with 2.0.3 and then move/upgrade the database? There are many approaches, mostly, it depends on your own preferences. I've done this several times, and what I found that suited me the best was to move the conf files over to the new server, then install the new version (2.0.3) of Bacula, move and upgrade the database, then modify the conf files appropriately (typically a change of Director name, and possibly SD). Then after shutting down the old Bacula, but keeping everything in place, I could test the new server with *different* Volumes until I was happy. If it doesn't work, you simply shutdown the new Bacula restart the old Bacula and the next day, move and upgrade the database again and work on it until you are satisfied. Once it works, you either keep the new Volume you used for testing, or simply move and upgrade the old database again. Regards, Kern - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

All seemed to be working well until Friday, but that was only because I hadn't discovered this issue yet. I run several jobs each night, with Full backups on Friday night and incrementals every other night. Once the backups are completed I have bacula setup to verify a few of these tape jobs against the catalog with Volume to Catalog jobs. These verify jobs have a higher priority, so they shouldn't start until after the backup jobs are complete. I also schedule them to start 10 minutes after the backups at 23:15. (All backups are scheduled to start at 23:05) This behaviour seems to have changed in Bacula 2.0.2 however. They seem to launch immediately and select which tape they'll use for the verify. Here's a log excerpt from a job running under 1.38.5 (My old version) 02-Mar 01:09 backup1-dir: Verifying against JobId=6017 Job=fs1.2007-03-01_23.00.00 02-Mar 01:09 backup1-dir: Bootstrap records written to /export/bacula/var/backup1-dir.restore.Verify-fs1.2007-03-01_23.15.00.b sr 02-Mar 01:09 backup1-dir: 02-Mar 01:09 backup1-dir: The job will require the following Volumes: 02-Mar 01:09 backup1-dir: 02-Mar 01:09 backup1-dir:09 02-Mar 01:09 backup1-dir: Even tho it was scheduled to run at 23:15, it didn't start until 1:09 the next morning. This is the expected behaviour. Here's a log excerpt from Friday night under 2.0.2: 09-Mar 23:15 backup1-dir: Verifying against JobId=6101 Job=fs1.2007-03-08_23.00.00 09-Mar 23:15 backup1-dir: Bootstrap records written to /export/bacula/var/backup1-dir.restore.11.bsr 09-Mar 23:15 backup1-dir: 09-Mar 23:15 backup1-dir: The job will require the following Volume(s) Storage(s)SD Device(s) === == == 09-Mar 23:15 backup1-dir: 09-Mar 23:15 backup1-dir:10Tape OfficeAutochanger 09-Mar 23:15 backup1-dir: 10-Mar 20:57 backup1-dir: Start Verify JobId=6125 Level=VolumeToCatalog Job=Verify-fs1.2007-03-09_23.15.00 As can be seen, the job started at 23:15, selected tape '10' and then waited until the next night to run (Full backups take most of a day :) ) Meanwhile, the full backup ran, writing to 2 other tapes. The problem encountered by bacula is that tape 10 had been removed from the Autochanger on Friday morning and replaced with this weeks incremental tape. So Bacula blocked, waiting for a tape, until I discovered and cancelled this job this morning. Not ideal, but it did bring this issue to light. What I'd like to know is if this was a deliberately designed feature, or if it classifies as a bug? If it's deliberate, is there anyway to control when it performs it's tape selection, or even which job it verify? I've scanned the Jobs section of the latest manual but didn't see anything obvious. For now I can either work around it(With a Run script running the verify job), or even work with it (I've wanted to run the Full Backup job verifies on Sunday for a while anyways.) To the best of my knowledge there is no deliberate change in the way Verify jobs are run. You haven't supplied sufficient information, so I am not able to understand the problem. Doh, and I thought I'd described the problem well. Take 2. Not sure what else to say about it. Maybe if I summarise it a bit more (My previous attempt was a bit verbose) When a verify job is scheduled under 2.0.2 to perform a Volume to Catalog verify it now selects the job to be verified (and the associated tape(s)) at the scheduled start time. It then waits until all jobs of lower priority finish before performing the actual verify. This results in it verifying the previous nights backup instead of the current nights one. Under 1.38.5 the job wouldn't select the job to verify until it actually ran (Actual start time instead of scheduled start time). In my case this is after the job I actually want to verify has finished running for the evening. OK, thanks. This time, the problem is crystal clear. The above describes what I need to know/understand. I haven't looked at the code, but I suspect that some of the startup code was moved earlier in the process. In general this was done so that the catalog entries are more complete if the job is subsequently cancelled before it is actually started. In this case, if this is what happened, I can see that this will create a problem for you. However, it does seem to make sense that the Verify job would select the job to be verified when Verify is scheduled rather than at some later time when additional jobs may have run. I'm not sure what

[Bacula-users] Spooling questions
We had an adventure Friday. We had errors in backup and later, when re-starting the server, in MySQL. To make a long story short, it turned out that the disk was full. I eventually found the culprits. They were spool files from past jobs. I suppose that those jobs failed for one reason or another and the spool files remained. Deleting them fixed my immediate problem but left me with two questions. 1) Is it possible for Bacula to write such an orphan spool file to tape? 2) Spooling differential jobs to disk makes perfect sense, for reasons explained in the manual. On full backups, does Bacula de-spool from disk at the same time that the FD is spooling data to the disk? This seems to be what happens, as I can see tape activity pretty much right away on full backup jobs, but my boss wonders about this. -- Tks n rgds, Richard White CNE6 Network Engineer Mason County, Washington 360-427-5501 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Take Surveys.

The conf file is correct and there is an entry in my hosts file for the Bacula server.

[Bacula-users] Failed Windows backup
I have just recently set up Bacula to backup a Windows 2003 server. The setup is a bit unusual - Bacula Director is run on an Ubuntu 6.06 server and is version 1.36.3 The File Director is run on a Windows Small Business Server 2003 The Storage Director is run on a Windows 2000 system using an HP DAT72 device. I have run the test on this system and it works without error. Using the documentation and various tutorial notes, I have tried to set up the .conf file correctly.

Re: [Bacula-users] verify job fails, must init catalog run twice?
to me it looks like InitCatalog must run twice before all changes are known and the regular verify behaves the way it should. (note: I have not done any changes to the system between the two jobs and auto update is disabled. I am not running a virus scanner or anything else that could touch the files). one more addition: the special thing on my setup is that its using *two* catalogs. One for backup jobs, one for verify jobs. Could that confuse bacula? Stephan - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

like that:

[Bacula-users] Omitting directories from backup
Hi, guys. I'm doing a fairly standard backup of home directories on a linux system. My users store their email in Maildirs (one directory per folder) and each has a Spam folder which holds the spam delivered by the mail server. I'm using a lot of backup space backing up spam, and I'd like to avoid that. As an example, the directory structure looks like: /home /home/bob /home/bob/Maildir /home/bob/Maildir/Spam /home/bob/Maildir/Spam/cur (this is where the files really are) /home/jeff /home/jeff/Maildir/Spam /home/jeff/Maildir/Spam/cur (ditto) What I am doing now is backing up /home which backs up everything, of course. I'd like to backup /home but omit /home/*/Maildir/Spam and all folders under, so skip: /home/*/Maildir/Spam and /home/*/Maildir/Spam/* Is this possible in bacula? I saw some stuff for omitting directories or files, but it wasn't clear if I could set it up like this. Thanks Jeff - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

No I am only talking about one single system.
I am not sure. If I only use the inlcude option and define only the two
desired folders, will bacula only backup those and exclude everything else?
Do you mean something like following?
FileSet {

portable = no
IgnoreCase = yes
}
File = C:/Document and Settings

[Bacula-users] Fw: Rif: Re: Change tape problem
Hi everybody,
I am following Arno's suggestion about
a problem in writing additional tapes started with 1.38.11 and persisting
in 2.0.2. Arno's idea is that the problem could be on tape or OS and maybe
he is right, but the same hardware/OS with 1.36.3 did not have the
problem (it could also be a hardware failure in the meantime, but apparently
all the rest works).
What I think happen is that once there
have been an ERNOSPC writing a tape block the last block is correctly reread
and the tape changed by the autochanger with a prelabelled tape, the the
label is rewritten (or skipped, I do not know) and when the block is written
on the new tape it get again the ERNOSPC error. This is reported again
as an EOT, but the last block control fails and the job fails too.
I have also made a very small modification
to the block.c routine (I am not a programmer and more then that I am not
a C programmer, so this change is not correct for sure, even if it solves
the problem in some way). The change is:
532d531
if (dev-file ==
0) { dev-clrerror(-1); }
that simply means (I hope) clear
all errors before writing the block if this is the first tape file
That because the write continues to
get the errors until an EOF is written. Because the file is normally around
1 Gb this slows down performance to 20-25% during this phase, but I can
deal with it.
What I would like to know is if this
behaviour is really an hardware/firmare/OS problem according to your opinion
and if the block routine could br made more resilient in some way (EOF
mark at tape end, Closing and reopening of fd or whatever).
Many thanks if you would like to give
me an asnswer and very many thanks anyway for this great package.

When there is a tape change after an out of space error susequent

You'd better discuss this at bacula-devel, I think, or send Kern a mail
explaining the problem and the resolution.
(very simple, because I'm not
a C programmer and also I don't know the logic of sd program). I made
the routine enter the retry loop even for ERNOSPC if file number is
0.
This made bacula-sd work correctly (but it took 20 hours to write
file
0). After writing the EOF mark speed is normal again.
My idea is that changing the tape does not reset the EOD condition
on
the tape
That sounds like a bug, either in the hardware or the HBA driver.
until a file mark is written. I do not know if this a wrong
device or OS error, but I believe that the FD of tape should be closed
and reopened in a tape change.
I know about nothing about these details, so I won't comment on it...
dd and mt tests always gave correct results, but dd always write an
EOF
mark at the and of the transfer.
If you have some idea about that I will be very happy. Thank you very
much in any c asze.
Difficult problem, I think.
If this is a hardware or driver problem, I don't think modifying the SD
code is the right solution.
If it works for you - fine, but it might be that you have to manage that
patch for your installation yourself.

Fedora {5,6} + EL 4 RPMs are released, too.
Please note that there are efforts getting bacula into mainline Fedora.
Andreas
Thienemann did a great job there. I think that these RPMs (once accepted
in
Fedora) will find their way into Enterprise Extras which is good news to
all EL
users out there.
If you like to participate/follow the package creation process, have a

[Bacula-users] autochanger still requesting a volume/tape?
Hi, I'm a new bacula user. Already have bacula setup to do some disk based backups(which work great), now i want to use a tape library with autochanger for some other clients. I'm pretty sure I have everything setup right, but for some reason when I run a test backup to tape, I still get this: bserv-sd: Please mount Volume 12 on Storage Device AITDrive0 (/dev/st0) for Job etctape.2007-03-12_14.31.02 I'm pretty sure I have 'autochanger = yes' in all the appropriate files and places.

[Bacula-users] very slow backup (database update ?)
I've been running bacula 1.38 on my linux fileserver with 2 exabyte magnum LTO-3 libraries for several months and I recently had problems with a couple of full backups failing due to lost communication with the FD daemon. I was writing directly to the tape drive and decided to try data spooling to improve data transfer to the LTO-3 drive and setup a 250GB disk area for the spool. Last night I ran a full backup of a 350GB disk area and it started around 2AM and was still running this morning. I could see that it had done one 250GB chunk and was on the remaining 100GB chunk, which finished dumping to the disk spool area in more or less reasonable time and then seemed to be spooled to the tape device - in perhaps not as ideal a time, but nonetheless finished and then no more data is being sent to the tape drive, the intermediate spool file has been deleted, but the job still isn't finished. Status says it is still running and the SD status says it is: Attr spooling: 1 active jobs, 2,153,030,897 bytes, 3 total jobs, 2,188,188,495 max bytes. I got curious and wondered if it was related to the database, so I checked its status and I can see the time being updated on the bacula sqlite database file. The first byte counter in the SD status Attr line is decreasing, but very, very slowly. Does anyone know what the job is now doing (updating the database, presumably) ? And why should it be taking so long ? Some more information - prior to the full backup, I had a running job that was an incremental that had been promoted to a full of about 27GB. This job also did the data spool to disk and then spool to tape in reasonable time but then took more than 4 hours to complete the Attr spooling part. Thanks for any assistance, Dirk - Take Surveys.

I am not sure. If I only use the inlcude option and define only the two

Yup, see the manual section on FileSet:

Do you mean something like following?
FileSet {

Enable VSS=yes
Include {

Roughly, yes. Though you'll want to add the missing quote after

Not 100% sure, but archived volumes probably stay archived until their rentention period is up, then they would go into recycle which would then allow bacula to use them.

Re: [Bacula-users] Change in verification job tape selection time - deliberate or accidental?
When a verify job is scheduled under 2.0.2 to perform a Volume to Catalog verify it now selects the job to be verified (and the associated tape(s)) at the scheduled start time. It then waits until all jobs of lower priority finish before performing the actual verify. This results in it verifying the previous nights backup instead of the current nights one. Under 1.38.5 the job wouldn't select the job to verify until it actually ran (Actual start time instead of scheduled start time). In my case this is after the job I actually want to verify has finished running for the evening. OK, thanks. This time, the problem is crystal clear. The above describes what I need to know/understand. I haven't looked at the code, but I suspect that some of the startup code was moved earlier in the process. In general this was done so that the catalog entries are more complete if the job is subsequently cancelled before it is actually started. In this case, if this is what happened, I can see that this will create a problem for you. However, it does seem to make sense that the Verify job would select the job to be verified when Verify is scheduled rather than at some later time when additional jobs may have run. I'm not sure what the solution is. It seems there are two ways to resolve it: 1. Start the Verify immediately after the backup (probably with a RunScript. 2. Put the code back the way it was in 1.38.11 (assuming that is the problem). Do you or anyone else on this list have any comments on the above two possible solutions? Well I've already updated my config to implement option 1 as a 'workaround', and am happy to trigger my verifies that way. I've scheduled a 'TriggerVerify' admin job that will run after the backup is complete and launch the verify. I used this as I believe using a RunScript within the backup job wouldn't work as the backup job will still be 'running' when the verify job is scheduled, so it'll still automatically select the previous nights job. Also, I personally feel the current implementation isn't as intuitive as how it worked in 1.38.11 - however this can probably be dealt with by appropriate documentation within the manual. It comes down to the difference in scheduled time and start time under Bacula. Especially when you throw priorities into the mix. You might schedule a job to start at 23:15, but you can stop it running until after the backup job finishes using priorities. Seems to me that if you've setup your job to me, you are most likely going to want to verify the job that just ran. What I would *really* like to see is the ability to set which job gets verified by jobid - Currently I can say Verify job 'BackupCatalog' but I cant say Verify last nights/weeks/months/whatever 'BackupCatalog' job This would aid in resource scheduling IMO - in my case my full backups take up most of Saturday, and there is barely enough time to perform the verifies before Saturday nights incremental backups start - it would be nice to be able to schedule the verify jobs for Sunday when the tape drive is otherwise idle. A nice side effect of the changed behaviour is that I can now achieve this. This probably needs to be a feature request doesn't it - or is there one in already that covers it? Just had another thought - is this change limited to VolumeToCatalog verifies, or was it applied across the board to all verify job types? Seems to me, that it would be a lot easier to overlook the fact that your verify job is actually verifying the previous nights backup if tapes aren't involved. If I get time today I'll look into the documentation and see if I can come up with a suitable addition explaining this situation. I might even throw in a feature request if one doesn't already exist.
