Re: [Bacula-users] webacula 0.5.beta
Before to begin the project, I have seen already available. I.e. installed and tried to work. I do not want to write critical remarks here . I shall note, that in webacula I at once have written those functions which I use daily. I do not know, whether it is necessary to load further webacula seldom used opportunities, or to be limited to a reasonable minimum. bweb it is written on perl. And constantly reminds me that I used in work firefox. But my working browser is konqueror., etc. Personally it seems to me, that perl the web-development is unpromising for the future. Probably, I am mistaken. Ryan Novosielski wrote: What I would personally like is to see is some collaboration between the bweb and webacula folks, maybe coming up with one product.

[Bacula-users] Problem with 2.2.3
Hey After upgrading to 2.2.3 i'm getting a lot of problems with backup. With 2.0.3 everything worked just great. Have around XX jobs running from around 00:30 to 06:00 to different harddrive devices. The storage is against a enterprise DAS's with a fast frontend server with lots of memory/cpu juice and the network is with 1GBIT enterprise infrastructure all the way to the clients. This settings have been running without (i'm loving bacula) problem now for some years now.. It seems for me that backup is running correctly but when finishing up something happen with the communication to the FD and I think has something do with last critical patch released 10 sept. Anyone knows if this is a bug or could be bad configuration (something changes I have to do with the 2.0.3 configuration) ?

[Bacula-users] Jobs manually
Hi guys
I have got a question that I was wondering how does bacula pick a pool for a
manual job.
If my memory serviced me correct the correct pool was picked in version 2.0.3
when you run the backup manually. But now it defaults to the Default pool
everytime. If the jobs are scheduled the right pool is selected for the job.
As can been seen in the example I have
Pool = Default
Full Backup Pool = Freightware_sys-Full-Pool
Incremental Backup Pool = Freightware_sys-Inc-Pool
Differential Backup Pool = Freightware_sys-Diff-Pool

[Bacula-users] Seeking clarification: Priority Directive implemented or not for Client resource?
Hello all, I have continued my intense reading through the mostly excellent Bacula User's Guide and found on page 170 (Chapter 11: Configuring the Director) the section about the Priority Directive: Priority = number The number specifies the priority of this client relative to other clients that the Director is processing simultaneously. The priority can range from 1 to 1000. The clients are ordered such that the smaller number priorities are performed first (not currently implemented). The last sentence says with parentheses (not currently implemented). So, am curious, if the Clients are not ordered because this ordering is not implemented, then how does the Priority Directive work for Clients, if it works at all for Clients? Should the Priority Directive be ignored for Client resources? Note: I did notice that the sample Bacula Director configuration file ( bacula-dir.conf) which is created during configure / make install, does provide a Priority Directive value (10 and 11) for example DefaultJob and Catalog Backup Jobs but I also understand from the User's Guide that the context for the Priority Directive is different for these resources compared to the Client resource. This inconsistency at first-glance (of Priority Directive for Client resources not currently implemented, being different in behavior than for DefaultJob and BackupCatalog Job) is a little bit confusing but understandable that the context is different for different types of resources. Thanks for any clarifications / insights regarding the Client resource Priority Directive. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

While spooling will work for one job, if you start another job later, this one will wait for a usable DVD disk first, before starting to spool data. Also, spooled data can not be ecovered after, for example, a system restart, wich is not a problem for regular volume files to be migrated.

[Bacula-users] Seeking clarification: Maximum Concurrent Jobs (File Daemon)
Hello all,
In the Bacula User's Guide I discovered, in Chapter 12.1 (The Client
Resource), that the Maximum Concurrent Jobs default value is 2:
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = number where number is the maximum number of
Jobs that should run concurrently. The default is set to 2, but you may
set it to a larger number. Each contact from the Director (e.g. status
request, job start request) is considered as a Job, so if you want to be
able to do a status request in the console at the same time as a Job is
running, you will need to set this value greater than 1.
However, in the sample File Daemon configuration file (bacula-fd), a Maximum
Concurrent Jobs value is set to 20. That's an order of magnitude more than
2. Wow that's a big difference!
Here's an example after a fresh configure / make install on my Xserve:
#
# Global File daemon configuration specifications
#
FileDaemon { # this is me
Name = xserve-fd
FDport = 9102 # where we listen for the director
WorkingDirectory = /opt/local/var/bacula/working
Pid Directory = /opt/local/var/run
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
}
I am curious, is the documentation outdated and should the default value
really be 20? Is there possibly a typographical error where 2 meant to be
typed as 20? Did the core Bacula maintainers (Kern, et al?) change their
mind based on real world user experiences from a default of 2 to 20?
Also, since I am coming up the learning curve with Bacula, I probably don't
understand enough yet about the entirety of Bacula and how the daemons
interoperate, but it seems a little bit strange that the Client Resource
which is also synonymous with the File Daemon has two different default
values for Maximum Concurrent Jobs based on context (in the Bacula Director
configuration context the Maximum Concurrent Jobs default value for the
Client resource is 1 but in the Bacula File Daemon configuration context the
Client's Maximum Concurrent Jobs default value is 2 (or maybe now its 20)?).
I wonder if there might be a better way to more clearly articulate the
abstract differences with respect to the context of the configuration files
for the daemons? I'd be happy to contribute some documentation to this
effect if the Bacula community would find it helpful especially for bringing
new members of the community up the learning curve somewhat faster.
Thank you for any clarification.

[Bacula-users] Requires Mount problem
Hi all,
I've recently installed a bacula setup on RHEL5. I'm using the 2.0.3
RPMs that were up recently on sourceforge until the critical bug.
Everything works fine except for one bit, namely, that I can't make
bacula mount a drive upon use. The backup target is a Dell RD1000
hard drive cartridge; the OS just sees a removable hard drive.
Here's the relevant entry from bacula-sd.conf:
Device {
Name = RD1000
Media Type = Removable HDD
Device Type = File
Archive Device = /opt/rd1000
LabelMedia = yes;
Random Access = yes;
Requires Mount = yes;
Removable Media = yes;
Mount Point = /opt/rd1000
Mount Command = /bin/mount /dev/sdb1 %m
Unmount Command = /bin/umount %m
AlwaysOpen = no;
}
When I run a job against it in bconsole, I get the following message:
10-Sep 13:51 backup.scholar: Please mount Volume rd1 on Storage
Device RD1000 (/opt/rd1000) for Job
backup.scholar.full.2007-09-10_13.49.34
For testing purposes I'm running all of the daemons as root.
My config looks good according to the storage daemon configuration
guide. Can someone please kindly point out what I'm missing?
Thanks for your help,
Ben

[Bacula-users] Disregard
Hello, I have recently setup Bacula and have it working using a DDS-4 drive. However, since I am not always on site I want the brain dead users to be able to put in the next tape without any console access. They do so by selecting a tape based on the current day and insert into the drive. The job is configured to auto eject the tapes. However after much playing with configuration I cannot get Bacula to just go ahead and use whatever tape is mounted. For example I get the following messages: 10-Sep 23:01 crestsrv1-sd: Please mount Volume Set1-Monday on Storage Device DDS-4 (/dev/nst0) for Job crestsrv1.2007-09-10_23.00.00 How can I make Bacula ignore the volume status and just go ahead and overwrite the current tape in the drive with the next backup?

job start request) is considered as a Job, so if you want to be able to do a
status request in the console at the same time as a Job is running, you
will need to set this value greater than 1.
I am not sure but I do not believe the console counts.
However, in the sample File Daemon configuration file (bacula-fd), a Maximum
Concurrent Jobs value is set to 20. That's an order of magnitude more than
2. Wow that's a big difference!
Here's an example after a fresh configure / make install on my Xserve:
#
# Global File daemon configuration specifications
#
FileDaemon { # this is me
Name = xserve-fd
FDport = 9102 # where we listen for the director
WorkingDirectory = /opt/local/var/bacula/working
Pid Directory = /opt/local/var/run
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
}
I am curious, is the documentation outdated and should the default value
really be 20? Is there possibly a typographical error where 2 meant to be
typed as 20? Did the core Bacula maintainers (Kern, et al?) change their
mind based on real world user experiences from a default of 2 to 20?
It probably is 20 but to enable concurrency with a client you must
also set Maximum Concurrent Jobs in the client section of the
bacula-dir.conf file. In that section the default is 1 so without
changing the settings you will not get any concurrency.

First of all: Thanks for your answer. I nearly thought I get ignored on this list. :) Maybe it's a bad idea, I can't decide this, but couldn't bacula compare _filesizes_ also to decide, wether a file has changed? This could be done configurably, so people who don't want that could turn it off. It could be also done on a per FileSet basis. If it is a bad idea, please explain why.

Short answer is not easily. Assuming you're using the most common table type of MyISAM, there's no guarantee that the files on disk at any given moment are consistent. Even if you were to take an instant snapshot, you'd just be backing up potentially corrupt data. If you search around, though, you should be able to find solutions that involve briefly locking tables just long enough to create an LVM snapshot of a consistent database, and then backing the snapshot up. Here's one example: http://lenz.homelinux.org/mylvmbackup/ I *believe* that for InnoDB tables, you can take an LVM snapshot of the partition holding the tablespace without locking the tables first, but I've never tried it myself, so you'd want to research this before trusting it as a backup method. -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu | For every problem, there is a solution that WPI Senior Network Engineer | is simple, elegant, and wrong. - HL Mencken GPG fingerprint = 6174 1257 129E 0D21 D8D4 E8A3 8E39 29E3 E2E8 8CEC - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

We are talking about using bacula for both. Just with backing up databases you run a script that dumps the database first to a file then bacula performs a backup on that file.

Can you produce some console output showing the state of the DIR and SD before, while and after you do the mount? Any method of mounting causes the jobid to sqwak about not having a volume, and the device is unmounted. So there's no volume available. When I use the File backend how do I select what volume to mount? You don't, usually :-) The best I can do is cancel the job, delete the volume. ruining the job then asks for a label, the the label auto-mounts and the job says to use the label cmd(again!) and unmount reports the volume is unmounted already. Unfortunalty that's the loop I'm in. I'm using these instructions: http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Brief_Tutorial.html but I'm altering the config for my setup. So what does your setup look like now? autolabel would be nice, if it weren't for this problem. I turned autolabel and every thing else off to get things working again. I was hoping to find some one who has seen this. The SD is running on Linux and the FD and DIR is on FreeBSD... are there any version mismatches I should look out for? The only officially supported combination is DIR, SD and FD of the same version. That said, most often you can use older FDs (unless you rely on new features), but the DIR and SD versions should match. Eventually only the DIR will be on FreeBSD. I'm also looking to do multiple directors, one for each class of customer, and they may need to share SDs I could not get multiple Directors to work in the same SD. I'll attach some config. I don't have access to the SD at this time, I'm using 'ssh -i key' inside inetd to run 'nc' on the sd server. If there is an interest I am posting this config here.

There is a structure of directories:

/tmp/test/a1/2/test_file
/tmp/test/a1/test_file
/tmp/test/a1/1
/tmp/test/a1/1/test_file
It is required to make backup on a mask:
/tmp/test/*/1
The following FileSet description does not work:
Include {
Options {
wilddir = /tmp/test/*/1
}
Options {
exclude = yes
regexdir = .*
}
File = /tmp/test
}
bwild makes correct output:
/tmp/test/a2/1
/tmp/test/b1/1
/tmp/test/b2/1
/tmp/test/a1/1
estimate command output only /tmp/test
What here it is wrong?
And how to receive demanded result?

Any other idea? I don't want to restart the daemons trying one configuration after another because now they are still running with my working configuration. Perhaps there is a way bacula-dir writes out the running configuration? You can get some of the configuration using the show commands, mainly 'show storage' in your case. Passwords, concurrency, etc. will not be a real problem, I suspect. The most important things - the device settings themselves - can not be reported, I believe. For file storage, they are not that important, though. Regarding the volume data errors, I don't have any idea except to try bls and bextract - these errors happen quite often, and I suspect they are not easily recovered. I have no idea why they happen, though. Arno -- Arno Lehmann IT-Service Lehmann www.its-lehmann.de - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

I don't think this is needed for testing; if you want to test the autochanger handling, you can set up a fake autochanger, which is controlled by the usual mtx-changer script interface, but uses files instead of tapes. The best I can do is cancel the job, delete the volume. ruining the job then asks for a label, the the label auto-mounts and the job says to use the label cmd(again!) and unmount reports the volume is unmounted already.

I turned autolabel and every thing else off to get things working again. I was hoping to find some one who has seen this. The SD is running on Linux and the FD and DIR is on FreeBSD... are there any version mismatches I should look out for? The only officially supported combination is DIR, SD and FD of the same version. That said, most often you can use older FDs (unless you rely on new features), but the DIR and SD versions should match. That may be difficult, due to vendor supplied patches. I'd prefer binary over source, save browsing CVS. Availability for different OSs may make this difficult or impossible, for instance MSwin32 is not something I'd ever learn to build but is something I need to consider supporting. Then I can only suggest to upgrade to 2.2.3, and if that's really not possible, don't use Bacula. I don't think anyone can realistically support a combination of different versions of DIR and SD. Eventually only the DIR will be on FreeBSD. I'm also looking to do multiple directors, one for each class of customer, and they may need to share SDs I could not get multiple Directors to work in the same SD. I'll attach some config. I don't have access to the SD at this time, I'm using 'ssh -i key' inside inetd to run 'nc' on the sd server. If there is an interest I am posting this config here. I really don't understand what you say here... The communications pass like so...

Hello again Arno,
Today I just pulled down Kern's update to Bacula (version 2.2.3) and I
installed it effortlessly on my Xserve. I am running all three Bacula
daemons on the same Xserve machine. I edited the bconsole.conf file (to
change its address field by changing its value to the static IP
address of my Xserve). I did the same for all of the Address fields in
the Bacula Director configuration file (bacula-dir.conf).
Even so, when I ran bconsole for the first time, I received this message:

This *might* have been an old message still spooled - look at the time
stamp. It is possible that this was from before your configuration change.
Where apple-xserve is the host name of my machine. But none of my
Address fields in the config files have the value of apple-xserve any
more. I wonder what file the console is reading which causes it to
continue to attempt to use gethostbyname() with the name apple-xserve
instead of my server's IP address?
How would I discover this, any ideas?
Does it happen again, or was this a one-time problem?
As long as you use IP addresses only in the configuration files, I
don't see where name resolving can fail...

Hello,
In Chapter 6.3.4 of the Bacula User's Guide, with regard to naming
resources, the Guide states that:
Each of your Bacula components must have a unique name.
This is especially necessary when backing up a fleet machines.
I didn't see any similar requirements that the Address fields of
resources also be unique. Can anyone confirm this? For example, would
the following (in the bacula-dir.conf file) have any conflicts?

Client {

# Client (File Services) to backup

As much as it would be ideal to use a FQDN for the Address
fields, there
are some scenarios where this isn't possible and there is a
concern from
my colleague, about a collision in the Address fields. Hopefully as
interpreted from the User's Guid, the uniqueness of the Name
fields is
all that's required (but better to check ahead of time to be safe
than
sorry later).
I think what you intend to do would work. It's even a procedure I
suggested a few times, and nobody complained that it didn't work :-)
Although, in most cases, I suspect you won't need this sort of setup.
Would yo mind explaining why you think you need this?

My fix was to use sed to remove the IMPORT/EXPORT from the stream

Replace this line:

${MTX} -f $ctl status | sed 's# IMPORT/EXPORT##g' ${TMPFILE}

I'm not sure it's a pity. ;-) It's the way tools are. You wouldn't ask Bacula to do your disk mirroring just because that is a form of backup. You use RAID software or hardware to do your disk mirroring. In the same way, databases are specialized and unique. Each database engine has its own mechanisms for table locking, transaction control, database dumping, etc. Those tools are developed within the context of that project. If Bacula developers were going to write that code instead and build it into Bacula, then they would be faced with people who wanted support for PostgreSQL, Oracle, msql, DB2, Sybase It's just not a practical way to build tools.

I must assume that the correct way would be to work in both ways: Bacula for normal data and specialized tools (as mysqldump) for special data. We are talking about using bacula for both. Just with backing up databases you run a script that dumps the database first to a file then bacula performs a backup on that file. See the make_catalog_backup script. You can obviously coordinate the tools. What John is talking about is a script controlled by Bacula that initiates the other tool, waits for it to complete, and then backs that up to tape. You could even contrive to run it through a named pipe or socket straight to the network backup program, though I've never tried to get that fancy. --- Chris Hoogendyk - O__ Systems Administrator c/ /'_ --- Biology Geology Departments (*) \(*) -- 140 Morrill Science Center ~~ - University of Massachusetts, Amherst [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Erdös 4 - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Bacula-users] building RPMs for version 2.2.3
Building the bacula v2.2.3 RPMS is not completing successfully.
on line 199 an open brace { is missing from rhel5.
For Source1: it does not match the version that is on source forge.
There is not a matching Source2: file that I can find for this release.
Once those have errors have been resolved, the following error is produced
during the build process:
+ chmod 755 /rpmbuild/tmp/bacula-root/usr/sbin/bacula-tray-monitor
chmod: cannot access
`/rpmbuild/tmp/bacula-root/usr/sbin/bacula-tray-monitor': No such file or
directory
The following command was used to build the RPMs which worked for version
2.0.3.
rpmbuild -bb --define build_centos4 1 --define build_mysql5 1 bacula.spec
Thanks.

[Bacula-users] Debian and Ubuntu Packages available
Hi all, this is to let you know that I have finished packaging Bacula 2.2.3 for the following distros: * Debian sarge (i386) * Debian etch (i386 and amd64) * Ubuntu edgy (i386 and amd64) * Ubuntu feisty (i386 and amd64) The packages are based on the debian unstable packages by John Goerzen (thanks John) Please note that these packages are being built using pbuilder which allows to build very clean packages regarding package dependencies and the like, however: Although the packages did build clean I have not tested them on every platform so if you want to use them in production: Please test them first. Also it would be useful to have some feedback here that they are working. I built a bat package (bacula-console-qt) for distros that have at least recent qt4 packages available. (libqwt5 is builtin statically on systems where it is not available) There is an issue on ubuntu left: Stopping bacula-fd does not work with the init script, so on upgrades you have to manually killall bacula-fd one time. Patch would be welcome. Find instructions to use the packages here: http://wiki.links2linux.de/en/index.php/PackMan_repo_instructions_for_Debian/Ubuntu_%28en%29 Cheers -Marc -- BUGS My programs never have bugs.

Re: [Bacula-users] Duplicate Address field values ok?

Hello again Arno,
Today I just pulled down Kern's update to Bacula (version 2.2.3) and I
installed it effortlessly on my Xserve. I am running all three Bacula
daemons on the same Xserve machine. I edited the bconsole.conf file (to
change its address field by changing its value to the static IP
address of my Xserve). I did the same for all of the Address fields in
the Bacula Director configuration file (bacula-dir.conf).
Even so, when I ran bconsole for the first time, I received this
message:
10-Sep 21:24 apple-xserve-dir: - Console-.2007-09-10_21.24.24 Error:
bsock.c:182 gethostbyname() for host apple-xserve failed:
ERR=Authoritative answer for host not found.
This *might* have been an old message still spooled - look at the time
stamp. It is possible that this was from before your configuration change.
Thank you Arno, I believe you are correct. This message has since not
duplicated so it was probably an old message spooled.
Where apple-xserve is the host name of my machine. But none of my
Address fields in the config files have the value of apple-xserve any
more. I wonder what file the console is reading which causes it to
continue to attempt to use gethostbyname() with the name apple-xserve
instead of my server's IP address?
How would I discover this, any ideas?
Does it happen again, or was this a one-time problem?
Appears to be a one-time problem.
As long as you use IP addresses only in the configuration files, I
don't see where name resolving can fail...
Thank you very much ... its a joy and a challenge to learn about Bacula!
Cheers,

Thanks!

Hello,
In Chapter 6.3.4 of the Bacula User's Guide, with regard to
naming
resources, the Guide states that:
Each of your Bacula components must have a unique name.
This is especially necessary when backing up a fleet machines.
I didn't see any similar requirements that the Address fields of
resources also be unique. Can anyone confirm this? For example,
would
the following (in the bacula-dir.conf file) have any conflicts?
# Client (File Services) to backup
Client {
Name = myunique-machine-name-1
Address = 192.168.1.25 http://192.168.1.25
http://192.168.1.25
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = YxR21sehW8stTml8RUKYAfln3WSVPoyvJVJ276RqXRmY
# password for FileDaemon
File Retention = 30 days# 30 days
Job Retention = 6 months# six months
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired
Jobs/Files
}
and
# Client (File Services) to backup
Client {
Name = myunique-machine-name-2
Address = 192.168.1.25 http://192.168.1.25
http://192.168.1.25
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = YxR21sehW8stTml8RUKYAfln3WSVPoyvJVJ276RqXRmY
# password for FileDaemon
File Retention = 30 days# 30 days
Job Retention = 6 months# six months
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired
Jobs/Files
}
As much as it would be ideal to use a FQDN for the Address
fields, there
are some scenarios where this isn't possible and there is a
concern from
my colleague, about a collision in the Address fields. Hopefully
as
interpreted from the User's Guid, the uniqueness of the Name
fields is
all that's required (but better to check ahead of time to be safe
than
sorry later).
I think what you intend to do would work. It's even a procedure I
suggested a few times, and nobody complained that it didn't work :-)
Although, in most cases, I suspect you won't need this sort of
setup.
Would yo mind explaining why you think you need this?

[Bacula-users] Vista client-fd.conf file location?
I am using Windows Vista on one PC on my LAN as a client. My server is a Debian Linux box. Where is the client-fd.conf file to go? In Vista, Mr. Gates has done away with the Documents and Settings folder. An equivalent path to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bacula In the new Vista lingo would probably be C:\Users\Default\AppData\Bacula Right now, it seems that placing the conf file in either the bacula program files folder, or the root directory, does not allow it to be read, because it cannot access the client daemon over my network. The XP PCs that I have do not have a problem. For the Vista PC, I am using the latest Sourceforge Win32 version. Jeff K - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Bacula-users] Problem with 2.2.3
Good morning It seems like everything is just fine again. Last night I removed the Max Wait Time from the job resource and everything works again (every job is OK). I have probably used the Max Wait Time wrong in my configuration. What about to make a Migrate from ver = ver section in the user guide where it will be listed the configuration changes and other thing that is importent between the version. Some of the other Open Source system I'm using has this feature and it making the upgrade job much easier and safer. It is probably not so important between the major updates, 1.x to 2.x but between 2.0.3 to 2.2.0, 2.2.0 - 2.2.3 has been nice. Perhaps you guys have allready written that, perhaps I have miss it. Regards, Christian Sakshaug Christian Sakshaug skrev: Hey Have tested some more now, it seems that jobs that I was getting error after normal schedule is working when I have a small number of concurrent jobs running. I wonder what have been change since 2.0.3 that could have this affects? I have been reading the changelog and documentation and I can not find anything special except the critical bug fixed in 2.2.3 that trigger my upgrade at the first place. Actually I have 3 different bacula site-location that have been in used for some times now without troubles. I have upgrade two of those with 2.2.3 and I having trouble with both.
