Hi all,
I have a backup which finished with the following warning:
---
bart-fd: Filesystem change prohibited. Will not descend into /home/mschiff
---
Filesystem change prohibited is correct as I use default values
here. But Will not descend into /home/mschiff is wrong because
both /home and /home/mschiff are in the fileset which are two
different filesystems. And a list files jobid=xy really shows me
files on /home/mschiff.
This is the FileSet:
-
FileSet {
Name = bart ImportantData FileSet
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
noatime = yes
aclsupport = yes
}
Options {
exclude = yes
regex = .*/[Cc]ache/.*
}
File = \\/etc/bacula/backup-include.txt
}
Exclude {
# exclude all dirs containing a file called .BACULA_NO_BACKUP
File = \\|sh -c 'for D in /home; do find $D -xdev -name
.BACULA_NO_BACKUP -type f -printf \%h\\n\; done | tee
/root/bacula_excluded_dirs.log'
}
}
-
The clients /etc/bacula/backup-include.txt:
--
/etc
/opt
/root
/usr/local
/home
/home/mschiff
--
(with /, /home and /home/mschiff being different filesystems)
Any hints how I can get rid of the warning?
This is a known shortcoming at this time. The code that prevents filesystem
change does not check to see if the data will be caught via another rule.
There's no way to prevent the warning via the config. This would be a nice
feature to have added.
Would including the filesystems in the proper order silence this one?
For example, backing up /home/mschiff, then /home, then /, or would that
make no difference?

[Bacula-users] confused about multiple filestorages and one sd :)
Hi all,
i have been very successful in messing up my configuration today and
would like to share it with you, either for a laugh or maybe a hint.
:)
i still assume that a storage daemon can have multiple devices, but
i'm not even sure about that by now, this is why i'm looking for help
- i'll look through the src/examples directory after i send this
email, i already checked my little email archive but with no success.
my current state is that bacula's looking for a volume file-03 in a
directory storage/01 and so on,
so there's something dead wrong about my configuration, and i have to admit
I've been fiddling with it for too long. now it's in a state that
gives no errors, but
is not right either. :)
what i want to end up with is a number devices (file) to assign to the same pool
i.e.:
/bacula/storage/00 (10GB)
/bacula/storage/01 (50GB)
/bacula/storage/02 (10GB)
/bacula/storage/03 (...)
after labeling they'd look like this:
/bacula/storage/00/hostname-file-00
/bacula/storage/01/hostname-file-01
/bacula/storage/02/hostname-file-02
/bacula/storage/03/hostname-file-03
and be recycled forever.
at last i want to use one storage daemon per every two devices, so we
end up with the
following:
sd00:
/bacula/storage/00/hostname-file-00
/bacula/storage/01/hostname-file-01
sd01:
/bacula/storage/02/hostname-file-02
/bacula/storage/03/hostname-file-03
first, the sd config, still lacking a size declaration, but that's
nothing i worry about right now.

RemovableMedia = no;

}
side question: Label media = yes or no? I want the volume to keep it's
name, but to be recycled - does that include 're-labeling' now?
and here is the storage part of bacula-dir.conf
[ passwords grepped out, and the host name is in /etc/hosts, no issues there. ]

# Do not use localhost here
Address = bc00-sd00 # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
SDPort = 9103

}
I *think* that my bacula-dir.conf is what's in error, but i'm not sure. :)

[Bacula-users] Backup on windows
Hi folks, So, I have a client that is _totally_ adamant about _not_ using any Open Source Software or Free Software in their production enviroment. All my efforts to show that OS/F-S is a Good Thing (TM) have fallen for dead ears. They have decided that they don't want it, and they are sticking with that. Regretfully. The reason I write the list this email is that we are about to setup a new backup-scheme for them, and since Bacula is out of the question (gah!) I wonder what kind of equipment/software you would recommend for a pure Windows-enviroment. They only have one server that needs to be backed up, and it's not much data to speak of. At the moment it's 4 GB (only a few files that changes every day, due to that particular progam they use in their business), and is expected to grow by about 1 GB pr month from now on. Any hints/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- Christopher - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Perhaps there is a bug with VSS turned off changing permissions on files
where
the filename is not translated to Unicode -- setting file permissions is
something that rarely happens since I think everyone uses VSS where that
function is not used.
Yes I think I use VSS:
FileSet {
Name = HISserver Files
Include {
File = C:/
}
Enable VSS = yes
}
I think that this is something that Robert will need to look at. In any case,
it is probably not too serious since it is a Warning message and not an Error

Re: [Bacula-users] What should be backuped on Windows?
Well in my case the most valuable is not the time but disk space. On the other hand what's the reason of backup if it do not stores whole data? This returns to the definition of data :-) Is it all the bits, everything else but the base operating system, or only the application data files (eg. text documents) produced by you? To reduce backup time and needed amount of storage, many see that it's only necessary to backup data that was produced by you. And installed software must usually be re-installed from original install files (after a complete system disaster). Restoring improper system files from a backup may re-collapse the newly installed system. But backing up only the minimum just leaves the uncertainty if something were accidentally saved into a wrong place. Plus the need to have backups of different applicatication configuration files etc. To make backup strategy more straightforward is one good reason to keep user files well organised in the system, instead of saving them into million and one different places spread all over the the directory structure. How about a real full backup after massive system changes, followed by frequently repeated more precisely targeted backups? Bacula has good tools for this... Regards, Timo - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Bacula-users] backup on dvd-like base
Hi all, I'm not sure if this is possible: I'd like to instrument bacula to perform backup over a disk storage but preparing a kind of dvd iso and splitting the backup over a set of such iso as needed. A kind of pooling of dvd backups that I'll archive on phisical dvds let's say one at month (remaking then a full backup). Is this possible? Has anybody a sample or some tips for the configuration of this? Thanks, Luca - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Hello,

Hi all,
i have been very successful in messing up my configuration today and
would like to share it with you, either for a laugh or maybe a hint.
:)
Oh, messing up configurations is always a fun thing... when it happens
to others ;-)
i still assume that a storage daemon can have multiple devices,
Definitely.
but
i'm not even sure about that by now, this is why i'm looking for help
- i'll look through the src/examples directory after i send this
email, i already checked my little email archive but with no success.
my current state is that bacula's looking for a volume file-03 in a
directory storage/01 and so on,
so there's something dead wrong about my configuration, and i have to admit
I've been fiddling with it for too long. now it's in a state that
gives no errors, but
is not right either. :)
Use different Media Types as MasterBrian suggested. You'll probably also
have to manually update the catalog to reflect the changes if you want
to keep your existing volumes.
what i want to end up with is a number devices (file) to assign to the same
pool
i.e.:
/bacula/storage/00 (10GB)
/bacula/storage/01 (50GB)
/bacula/storage/02 (10GB)
/bacula/storage/03 (...)
after labeling they'd look like this:
/bacula/storage/00/hostname-file-00
/bacula/storage/01/hostname-file-01
/bacula/storage/02/hostname-file-02
/bacula/storage/03/hostname-file-03
and be recycled forever.
at last i want to use one storage daemon per every two devices, so we
end up with the
following:
sd00:
/bacula/storage/00/hostname-file-00
/bacula/storage/01/hostname-file-01
sd01:
/bacula/storage/02/hostname-file-02
/bacula/storage/03/hostname-file-03
I don't see why that wouldn't work.
first, the sd config, still lacking a size declaration, but that's
nothing i worry about right now.
[passwords grepped out]
snip config
side question: Label media = yes or no? I want the volume to keep it's
name, but to be recycled - does that include 're-labeling' now?
Two possibilities: Enable automatic labeling - just don't use a label
format that includes the date, job name, or anything that changes
between backup jobs as that only confuses you later because it will not
represent the actual volume contents. My opinion, of course. Limit the
number of volumes per pool. Then, whenever you add more storage devices,
you only have to copy the device definition and the corresponding
volume(s) will be created automatically.
Or pre-create volumes per device as needed, which is more work for you,
but if you don't create storage devices daily that's not really bad.
snip more config
I *think* that my bacula-dir.conf is what's in error, but i'm not sure. :)
My default Job looks like this:
JobDefs {
Name = DefaultJob
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = bc00-dir-fd
FileSet = Full Set
Schedule = WeeklyCycle
Storage = FileStorage00
Messages = Standard
Pool = Default
Priority = 10
}
It was giving me angry errors when i uncommented the Storage, this is
where another problem of understanding comes in.
I don't understand the problem... you mean that the Storage= line in the
job causes errors? Astonishing, since that storage device is declared in
the DIR unless I overlooked a misspelling or something.

In this case, when i add the new job in the queue, it doesn't detect the actually full backup and do another full backup for this job (ok two equals jobs in queue, it's not often :p). I would prefer have a differential backup for the second job. So, maybe, you could move the test at the moment where the job really starts, no? This is a Feature Request item. See the web site for info about doing Feature Requests. Hm... wasn't this discussed some time ago? Yes, but I don't recall if we have a project or not. We have so many projects that maybe I forgot ... In any case, I agree with Franck - it would be good to move the upgrade to a later time, if that's possible. I just had to work around that problem myself :-) Almost everything is possible -- it just takes programmers. Looking through the projects, I don't find this one. OK, that confirms my feeling on this. Looking through the list mail is too much work now :-) It isn't necessary. If it isn't in the projects list, it needs a new email and some discussion on the list. (Although technically this might be a feature request because the current behaviour is what has been working for a long while, and there is no documentation indicatng things should be different, the current behaviour is really very close to a bug, IMO.) Arno Hello. I just ran into the same problem. One client does its 20 GB backup over internet and it takes a few days. Today I noticed Bacula had just completed the 2nd full backup and is now waiting for appendable volumes to do the 3rd one. On the 9th of april, 21:47 the 1st full backup was completed, the 2nd job's log: = 07-Apr 23:05 backup-dir: No prior Full backup Job record found. 07-Apr 23:05 backup-dir: No prior or suitable Full backup found in catalog. Doing FULL backup. 09-Apr 21:47 backup-dir: Start Backup JobId 5770, Job=serv1-userdata.2007-04-07_23.05.16 09-Apr 21:47 backup-dir: Recycled volume serv1-userdata-full-0002 ... = I just cancelled the 3rd job, set rerun failed levels = no for that job and hope that tonight the incremental job is done. It seems a bug to me also - job should have decided its level on 9th of april upon starting, not on the 7th upon queuing (when there was the 1st full backup still running). Arno, how did you work around such a situation? Sorry for the short answer, I'm in a hurry... try to avoid it by careful planning. Otherwise, manually.

Re: [Bacula-users] dvd writing and bacula
Copied to bacula-users so that everyone sees the thread Hello, Which OS are you using? I'm trying to get dvd writing going on a freebsd 6 box. Hi, I'm using Linux 2.6.15 on Sparc64. That is what I used to get the DVD support working for bacula 2.0.x. I am not aware of anyone using anything other than linux so far. You can find my checklist for getting things working at http://bridge.oldelvet.org.uk/bacula/BaculaDVDSetup.html If that works then you stand a chance. Possible problems that you might find are that bacula parses the output of mount and umount and if the freebsd output is too different from linux then that would cause problems. Richard Thanks.

Re: [Bacula-users] Fwd: Using Bacula on Windows
Hi! I haven't read your earlier mails. Anyway, this would be kind of an RTFM. Check the troubleshooting, google for the error message you are getting. Also check your config file that the console is connecting to the right host and has the correct password. If you don't find it, post the error message with your confs. Also tell what your setup is like. Is the console on the same machine as the server? Are you skilled with network debugging tools? If so, try looking at the traffic, where it stops and why. If it goes all the way and back, your conf is bad.

[Bacula-users] Volume data error
Hello mailinglist!
I am happily running bacula 1.36.2 on debian sarge for two years now.
One client is a Windows 2000 MVS NT 5.0.2195. I am getting the following
errors during a restore job to create a monthly snapshot of its backup.
The job worked well until this month.
What is going wrong? Can it be similar to this one:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg20622.html
The following facts are of interest:
- Error is always the same (same address, checksums and block), although
the volume can be different and there have been Full backups in between
tries.
- The backup is successful
- Other large restore jobs work well from the same disk
- No I/O errors on either FD or SD, scandisk shows no errors on client
- Same error when running 'restore all' or bextract
- The restore client FD is on the server
- Communications run over stunnel and filesets are GZIPped
- Storage is a file on a md RAID1
- Disks are two Maxtor 6B300S0
- Controller is a Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3114 [SATALink/SATARaid]
The error in bacula:
13-Apr 17:46 SERVER-sd: CLIENT-snapshot.2007-04-13_17.46.00 Error:
block.c:304 Volume data error at 0:383349411! Block checksum mismatch in
block 5715: calc=4d849bb9 blk=5b9137bf
The error with bextract -p and the most recent bootstrap:
13-Apr 18:27 bextract: Ready to read from volume
CLIENT-backup-2006-06-26 on device /opt/bacula1/CLIENT.
13-Apr 18:27 bextract: bextract Error: block.c:304 Volume data error at
0:383349411! Block checksum mismatch in block 5715: calc=4d849bb9
blk=5b9137bf
13-Apr 18:30 bextract: End of Volume at file 2 on device
/opt/bacula1/CLIENT, Volume CLIENT-backup-2006-06-26
13-Apr 18:30 bextract: End of all volumes.
13-Apr 18:30 bextract: bextract Error: 39 block read errors not printed.
4158 files restored.
An upgrade to debian etch is imminent, along with bacula 2.0.3. If this
is a bug or missing feature in this older version, a hint is appreciated
to get my partner pull the switch.
The restore job:
Job {
Name = CLIENT-snapshot
Type = Restore
Client = SERVER-fd
Fileset = CLIENT-set
Storage = CLIENT-storage
Schedule = CLIENT-snapshot-schedule
Priority = 8
Pool = Default
Messages = Standard
Where = /tmp/CLIENT-snapshot
Bootstrap = /var/lib/bacula/CLIENT.bsr
ClientRunAfterJob = /etc/bacula/CLIENT-snapshot
}
The backup job:
Job {
Name = CLIENT-backup
Client = CLIENT-fd
FileSet = CLIENT-set
Storage = CLIENT-storage
Write Bootstrap = /var/lib/bacula/CLIENT.bsr
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Schedule = weekly-cycle1
Messages = Standard
Pool = Default
Priority = 6
}
Help is appreciated.
Best regards,
Johan

[Bacula-users] Problems labelling and writing to tape.
Hello everyone, I've got a problem that's been recurring with some of my tapes. I've got a Quantum SuperLoader 3 with several brand new SDLT-600 tapes. Sometimes when bacula tries to write to one of these tapes for the first time, it fails and the tape's status changes to error. This happens even when bacula succesfully labels a tape. So to investigate this even more, I would load up a problematic tape with btape. I ran the commands, readlabel and rectest successfully, but I always fail with the command wr and test commands.

[Bacula-users] Two tiered bacula setup?
Hi all: I am new to bacula, I have read through the documentation and a portion of the mail archive, but perhaps I am searching using the wrong keywords, I could not find what I am looking for, and I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction. Apologies if this has been brought up and answered before, I could not find the answers myself. Here is the problem I need to solve: - Client site has low bandwidth (upload) to the Internet (less than 0.5Mbps). - Client site has several PCs, with a combined data of 30GB that needs to be backed up. Assume new data rate at 1GB per week. - I am bringing a server on-site to serve as on-site backup, with bacula installed. I install bacula on all the client boxes, and they back up at least once a day to the on-site bacula box. Let's call this the LAN backup tier. - I also need to replicate some of the data off-site, for emergency recovery in case of catastrophic event (say fire burned down the office). I need to do this at least once a week (maybe even more frequently, nightly would be preferred). Let's call this the WAN backup tier. My plan is to use bacula for LAN backup at least once a day (may be more frequent depending on our needs), and use some sort of 'rsync' mechanism for the WAN backup, so each remote site's data is replicated in our data center. Question: Can I use bacula for my WAN backup? I did not think it will work too well because the LAN backup would leave me with some binary tarball-ish files every night, in my example, if I do a full backup (not incremental), then I need to re-transmit 30GB of data across the WAN link, which would take literally days to complete. I only want to send changes, and only do the 30GB massive dump the very first time. In fact, my plan is to send a guy on-site to manually carry the 30GB (maybe more) data back to our data center (where possible). My thoughts currently is to do my LAN backup (this part is easy with bacula), and then immediately after each successful backup, do a restore locally somewhere, so it is decompressed back out to directories and files; then I can use rsync (or bacula client) to do my WAN level backup, which should only transmit changes over the said 0.5Mbps link to the data center. Hopefully, since I am only transmitting changes, it will only take a few hours every night, instead of several days if I cam transmitting the whole thing. So another question: How do I setup Bacula to automatically restore somewhere? The docs I am reading so far talks about using the command-line console to restore files, and I don't want to write a expect script to do the restore... I am hoping that someone out there has already solved this problem before, and came up with a much more elegant solution than me. If so, I would love to hear what others have done in this situation. If I am way off on my solution, please tell me, as I am still fairly new to the whole large scale backup thing. Thanks in advance for any help, and again, my apologies if this has been answered in the past. I will keep reading the docs and mailing list archive in search of my answers. -Josh - Take Surveys.

[Bacula-users] Checking my understanding of Maximum Concurrent Jobs
A couple of days ago I added a 2nd computer with the file and storage daemons to what was previously a single-system bacula config. They're working just fine. Yay! I'd like to help, tips, caveats for concurrent jobs. My setup is like this: server8: Solaris8, Bacula v2.0.3, MySQL, DIR/SD/FD, Quantum-SL3 w/ 1 LT03. server57: Solaris8, Bacula v 2.0.2, SD/FD, Qualstar TLS4210 w/ 1 AIT3. All jobs from server8 go to the storage daemon on server8. Likewise, all jobs from server47 go to the SD on server57. I want to allow one job to run concurrently on each SD/FD pair so that if one of my libraries is waiting for a tape or is just misconfuggered, the jobs for the other server will still execute. I believe this is to be done with Max Concurrent Jobs. Each SD/FD pair runs one job for data. THEN I back up the bacula database on server8 to the server8-sd. So, if i understand the directive properly, in their respective config files I set the Maximum Concurrent Jobs to equal: Director: 2 or even higher. Job: 1 (For the data-related jobs because I don't run the same job more than one at a time.) Client: 1 (I only run 1 job at a time Storage: 1 (Because I don't want/need to interleave jobs on tapes.) I'm pretty confident that I have it right up to this point. BUT! I don't want to back up the database in the middle of server57's data-backup. I don't think there is a directive that I can use to ensure that the database job doesn't run until ALL jobs for the day are done running. So I have to accomplish that by scheduling it long enough after all my other jobs that they should be done assuming their not waiting on a tape, etc... Correct? Thanks! --Tim - Take Surveys.

Few users have access to back up absolutely everything without having admin access. On a UNIX system without special permissions like Solaris 10 or SELinux contain, root is essentially the only way to copy everything. Now if you only need to backup files owned by one user or group, that is easily handled by making sure Bacula has permissions to all of your files. - -- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer III |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGH+yymb+gadEcsb4RAoQ+AKDODEdpei9x8vW4f+QfBPsy6iuXzgCgwx/H MddzMkeorLxrFb6ihaElZZI= =Asbp -END PGP SIGNATURE- - Take Surveys.

I've downloaded and installed Bacula 2.0.3 on Windows 2000 SP4. After install I have two icons on the tray, one for the fd and one for the sd. The problem I have is when I open either the wxconsole or the bconsole I get an error connecting to the director. I've disabled the firewall, added my machine name to the hosts file and checked my configuration files but can't solve the problem. Would you please help me out with this? I'd be very thankfull if you can give me a hand.

Re: [Bacula-users] What should be backuped on Windows?

On the other hand what's the reason of backup if it do not stores whole data? This returns to the definition of data :-) Is it all the bits, everything else but the base operating system, or only the application data files (eg. text documents) produced by you? User files. Unfortunatly not produced only by me ;) To reduce backup time and needed amount of storage, many see that it's only necessary to backup data that was produced by you. And installed software must usually be re-installed from original install files (after a complete system disaster). Restoring improper system files from a backup may re-collapse the newly installed system. But backing up only the minimum just leaves the uncertainty if something were accidentally saved into a wrong place. Plus the need to have backups of different applicatication configuration files etc. To make backup strategy more straightforward is one good reason to keep user files well organised in the system, instead of saving them into million and one different places spread all over the the directory structure. Well. I'm not designer of apps. How about a real full backup after massive system changes, followed by frequently repeated more precisely targeted backups? Bacula has good tools for this... Yes. I know. Regards, Timo Regards -- I've probably left my head... somewhere. Please wait untill I find it.

[Bacula-users] Question/Request Admin Jobs on client
I've searched through the documentation and there seems to be fairly little details on Admin beyond that they don't actually do anything beyond launching admin scripts. It seems that I can run scripts on the director using them, but if I try to run them on clients (through various directives) nothing happens. Is this intentional? The reason I was looking at them was because it seemed a slightly better way to run a database-diff script than via a Backup job with an empty fileset. Even without any file entries a Backup job will attempt to grab a volume which might not be the one other concurrent jobs are using. -- --Darien A.

[Bacula-users] unable to authenticate with file daemon
Hello, I'm using bacula 2.03 on FreeBSD. My original goal was to get dvd writing going, i jumped the cart before the horse, i had a previously working config with tls going from 1.38 and brought the files over, it is no longer working. I am getting a can not authenticate with file daemon msg and a direction to the rel-manual faq on authentication. I've read that, and can't see my problem. It's probably a matter of me staring at something for so long and the issue being right in front of my face. I've disabled all tls so for the moment that's out. I've checked in all files the names and passwords they are the same as i said this is a previously working config. The faq suggested maximum concurrent jobs the only change i made to that was to increase the value from 1 to 3 in the director's config file. I don't believe i'm having a firewall issue, i can telnet to each port successfully. Any help appreciated. If anyone wants my configs write offlist and i'll be glad to send them. Thanks. Dave. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Bacula-users] Will be compiling and running bacula on a Solaris 8 Sun Ultra 30 -- soon! :-)
Greetings! It has been literally months ago, but I did participate (a little bit) in this list then! :-) I backup my Linux system to two different USB disks. This is working perfectly! Well, I also have a Sun Solaris (8) system, and I *finally* got a larger hard drive for it! I have installed all of Solaris on it, and I now have enough disk space to do a few extra things! Well, among the first of those extra things is I'm going to get MySQL and bacula going on it! Actually, mysql is now running. And, I am in the process of getting gcc and some things from http://www.sunfreeware.com/ in place. (My first attempt at compiling bacula failed, but I'm still getting things in place and ironed out.) My situation is, the USB drives are on the Linux system. And, there is no USB on this Sun Ultra 30, so they will always be on the Linux system, so I'll be network backing up. (At least, until I look into USB for the Sun, if I ever want to.) I trust this will be okay. I am mentioning this to you who are so much more experienced with bacula, so if there is something I'm missing, perhaps one of you could tell me. At the moment, I'm really compiling version 1.38.5, because it is the same version I'm running on the Linux system. If anyone knows of anything in particular of which I should be aware about compiling bacula for Solaris, I'd appreciate hearing it. (I know it is successful on Solaris, and I will be checking the web site for what it says regarding Solaris. At the moment, it's failing on the targets 'libbac.a', 'libfind.a' and 'libsql.a'. As I get more things in place, I'll do research on what I need to do for these.) This is just my first message to this list in a long time, though I continue to get it, and I've saved every message I've received. (I can search through them, as well, as I start to research things.) Thank you! Barry -- Barry L.
