Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula BLOCK issue where already created volumes not being read
Forgive me if I'm prolonging this troll here but I felt compeled to write. I don't know exactly what was the problem he was having but on the other hand, with Bacula, I was able to write a series of scripts that creates a nice backup system for switchable hard drives. It worked so well that it has been running on Bacula 1.39 since it started. It is perfectly stable to say the least !. Yes it took a lot of reading. Yes it took a lot of trial and error, but Bacula was always beside those points, They were relevant to my scrpts only. I think is it extremely unfare to stamp a wonderful software like Bacula to be an unstable or poorly design software just because of ONE of your experiences with it. I think its proper to measure the sucsses/failure ratio among users before posting this things. Then you may find that there is nothing wrong with Bacula but with your attempts at it. I have been lurking in the FreeBSD comunity since version 2.2.8 and, believe me, I'd risk to say that 60 to 70 % of the help/support we need to use it comes from the users, not from the guys who designed it. But they are there, monitoring, ready to step in when some of us users adds a BS along the way. I think the suport is right here. Is it unpaid? yes because the developers do it on their spare time for free. Does it take long to get a reply? well, sometimes yes, for the same reason above. I am not trying to change your mind about Bacula. I am just humbly trying to give you another perspective in the hopes that you might reformat your atitude towards open source. In any case, I hope you find something that works for you.

In both options stop bacula-sd before proceeding and you can start it again after this procedure completes. The first is to wipe the label on each tape: Basically use mtx or the autochanger controls to load each tape one by one and do the following two commands to erase the label from the tape: mt -f /dev/st0 rewind mt -f /dev/st0 weof replace /dev/st0 with your tape device if it is different. There is a discussion of this here: http://www.mail-archive.com/bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg16850.html This method will erase the label so that label barcodes will be able to put a new label on each tape. Now the second is to scan the tapes and import them back into the catalog: http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/Volume_Utility_Tools.html#SECTION00397 bscan -s -m -c bacula-sd.conf -v -V Vol001\|Vol002\|Vol003 /dev/nst0 And in your case the volumes will be B27715\|B27687\|B27684\|B27679 Dont forget the \ before the | This will read all data that was written to these tapes so it can take a long time.

When you previously labeled these volumes bacula wrote a header to each tape. Now it is telling you that you can not write a label because one already exists on the tape. However since your catalog was wiped clean bacula does not know about the tapes so it refuses to use them. Are there only 4 tapes here that have this problem?

The reason I ask is that what this means is the catalog was created with a script from a newer version of bacula than the version of bacula that you are running. I believe 2.0.X installed a catalog version 10. You can not downgrade a catalog so this will not work on a system with 1.38.X installed.

I have come to the conclusion that Bacula is simply too unstable. You get what you pay for So much for a lot of the internet, linux, open source, foss, . . . . I guess that leaves Microsoft, Vista, NetBackup, etc. And, of course, no one ever complains about them. There is more than one way to pay for something. In the open source community lots of people contribute their time and effort back into the community. This makes many of the open source products much richer. For example, I doubt anyone can fairly argue that linux has not made much more progress than Windows in the last 10 years. While Windows may have a larger user base, those are just passive users paying their money while Microsoft profits. There are far more people actively involved in linux. If someone claims a security glitch in Windows, Microsoft huddles behind closed doors; and, maybe, in a few months or a year or more a fix is released. If someone claims a security glitch in linux, anyone can look at the code. Large numbers of people do. Fixes are more forthcoming. You can take Bacula or leave it. You can look at the code. I make decisions like that all the time. My servers have dozens of primary software packages delivering their services. There are many more packages and libraries behind those that fill out dependencies. All of it is open source. If you choose to use open source, then choose what you like and work with it. Contribute to it in whatever way you can. Offer constructive commentary. If you choose not to use it, then just leave it be.

Thanks, I've been studying for a certification exam all day and needed a good laugh.

I noticed some weird "Cannot open FileSet" errors in the console and log, but this only appeared on some of the later jobs. 10-Feb 17:42 backup-va-1-dir JobId 9160: No Volumes found to migrate. 10-Feb 17:42 backup-va-1-dir JobId 9160: No JobIds found to migrate. 10-Feb 17:42 backup-va-1-dir JobId 9160: Bacula backup-va-1-dir 2.4.2 (26Jul08): 10-Feb-2009 17:42:03 Build OS: sparc-sun-solaris2.10 solaris 5.10 Prev Backup JobId: 0 Build OS: sparc-sun-solaris2.10 solaris 5.10 Prev Backup JobId: 0 New Backup JobId: 0 Migration JobId:9160 Migration Job: MigrateDatabaseArchives.2009-02-10_17.42.09 Backup Level: Full Client: backup-va-1 FileSet:"FileSet_PgWal" Read Pool: "Staging" (From Job resource) Read Storage: "File" (From Pool resource) Write Pool: "Staging" (From Job resource) Write Storage: "Sony SDX-700C" (From Storage from Pool's NextPool resource) Start time: 10-Feb-2009 17:42:03 End time: 10-Feb-2009 17:42:03 Elapsed time: 0 secs Priority: 10 SD Files Written: 0 SD Bytes Written: 0 (0 B) Rate: 0.0 KB/s Volume name(s): Volume Session Id: 0 Volume Session Time:0 Last Volume Bytes: 0 (0 B) SD Errors: 0 SD termination status: Termination:Migration -- no files to migrate 10-Feb 17:42 backup-va-1-dir JobId 9160: Begin pruning Jobs. 10-Feb 17:42 backup-va-1-dir JobId 9160: No Jobs found to prune. 10-Feb 17:42 backup-va-1-dir JobId 9160: Begin pruning Files. 10-Feb 17:42 backup-va-1-dir JobId 9160: No Files found to prune. 10-Feb 17:42 backup-va-1-dir JobId 9160: End auto prune. 10-Feb 17:41 backup-va-1-dir: ERROR in getmsg.c:163 Malformed message: Cannot open FileSet input file: not open FileSet input file: not open FileSet input file: not open FileSet input file: not open FileSet in

Hi Steve A lot of people use Bacula and it works. Please stop trashing Bacula and the devs. It is not productive to do that.

Re: [Bacula-users] help with getting volumes in the catalog
>Connecting to Storage daemon Autochanger at 127.0.0.1:9103 ... Although this is probably not related to your current problem. This is something that needs fixed. You can not use localhost or 127.0.0.1 in any bacula config file if you plan on backing up more than the server that bacula is installed on. Replace that with the external ip address. I will examine further and get to the other problem in a few minutes.

Thanks, I've been studying for a certification exam all day and needed a good laugh. Seriously, though, if you think that a paycheck suddenly turns someone into a brilliant software engineer, then you've obviously never had to painstakingly read and explain RFCs to the developers who supposedly implemented them in the product you bought, had a trouble ticket filled with with carefully documented details and transcripts of reliably reproducible problems come back with a response that basically says "Oh, our software doesn't do that, so you're not having that problem!", or, when you finally convince them that it really is a real bug, have the vendor respond by simply retracting any claim to having that feature rather than fix it. And yes, those are all experiences I have personally had when dealing with "highly paid engineers." Of course, you don't have to simply take my word for it. I challenge anyone out there to read The Daily WTF at http://thedailywtf.com/ for a few weeks and then argue with a straight face that programmers who are motivated by paychecks magically make fewer mistakes than ones who care deeply about the projects they're working on. -- 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 -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

After 9 months of solid performance from Bacula, I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you to the list and the developers. I find it amazing how much you can get for free if you take the time to read the documentation.

Re: [Bacula-users] Never Mind - Given up on Bacula
Five years ago. I am sure Netbackup has progressed in those times. No one likes to dish out money to expensive software, but typically sturdy dependable products come at a price. Bacula is not a horrible product, but it has bugs in it. Bugs any serious company will probably not. In my opinion, it needs to be taken out of the open source community, closed sourced, and then have some highly paid engineers stamp the bugs. -Original Message- From: John Drescher [mailto:dresche...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 3:14 PM To: Steve Handy; bacula-users Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Never Mind - Given up on Bacula > You get what you pay for > I moved to bacula nearly 5 years ago because veritas had extremely poor support and used extortion licensing tactics.

Since many distros come with autofs and auto-mounting of NFS shares pre-configured, the mounting step is not needed and all that need be done is to include the correct path in the job. For example, in Centos it would be something like '/net/nas_ip_address/share_name'. Autofs can be configured for CIFS as well, but usually isn't by default. Otherwise, RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob scripts can do the mounting and unmounting. > John > > -- > ___ > Bacula-users mailing list > Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users > -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
[Bacula-users] upgrade 2.0.3 > 2.4.4
Hi All ! I want to upgrade my Bacula (currently in v 2.0.3) in 2.4.4. So, I install the Bacula v 2.4.4 on another OS just to see the difference. Then I realized a dump of the catalogue database in my Bacula v 2.0.3 and 2.4.4 to compare. I did a diff on my two dump and there is one thing which is strange Bacula 2.0.3 DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `File`; CREATE TABLE `File` ( `FileId` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, `FileIndex` int(10) unsigned default '0', `JobId` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL, `PathId` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL, `FilenameId` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL, `MarkId` int(10) unsigned default '0', `LStat` tinyblob NOT NULL, `MD5` tinyblob, PRIMARY KEY (`FileId`), KEY `JobId` (`JobId`), KEY `JobId_2` (`JobId`,`PathId`,`FilenameId`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=785251836 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; Bacula 2.4.4 DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `File`; SET @saved_cs_client = @@character_set_client; SET character_set_client = utf8; CREATE TABLE `File` ( `FileId` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, `FileIndex` int(10) unsigned default '0', `JobId` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL, `PathId` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL, `FilenameId` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL, `MarkId` int(10) unsigned default '0', `LStat` tinyblob NOT NULL, `MD5` tinyblob, PRIMARY KEY (`FileId`), KEY `JobId` (`JobId`,`PathId`,`FilenameId`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=199415 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; SET character_set_client = @saved_cs_client; More precisely: Bacula 2.0.3 PRIMARY KEY (`FileId`), KEY `JobId` (`JobId`), KEY `JobId_2` (`JobId`,`PathId`,`FilenameId`) Bacula 2.4.4 PRIMARY KEY (`FileId`), KEY `JobId` (`JobId`,`PathId`,`FilenameId`) The two Bacula are on FreeBSD 7, for each I look in /usr/ports/sysutils/bacula-server/work/bacula-2.0.3/updatedb And /usr/ports/sysutils/bacula-server/work/bacula-2.4.4/updatedb For the first, about mysql I can see: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3.2K Nov 3 2005 update_mysql_tables_8_to_9 And for the second -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2.4K Apr 1 2007 update_mysql_tables_9_to_10 I opened update_mysql_tables_9_to_10 and can read echo "This script will update a Bacula MySQL database from version 9 to 10" echo " which is needed to convert from Bacula version 1.38.x to 2.0.x or higher" echo "Depending on the size of your database," echo "this script may take several minutes to run." So I conclude I don't need to execute any script to upgrade my catalogue database to pass in 2.4.4, but there is the first thing that I find strange :s It could raise problem?

No, I have many jobs spanning many tapes. This is ok. Lets say I have 3 jobs spanning 2 tapes. Job 1 spans tape A and tape B. Job 1 runs OK. Job 2 starts but stalls for some reason before writing. The Volume Use Durations is then exceeded before Job 2 is corrected and finished. Bacula then wants tape C. I want Jobs 2 and 3 to be on tape B only. Then I want that last tape (B) marked used when all the jobs are done so that when the next nights jobs run, a new tape is written to. -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
Re: [Bacula-users] [Bacula-devel] Feature Request: Implementan'Volume Append Duration' pool directive
Yes, exactly. I cannot give any other reasons for this other then what I have said. My need is to close the tape after x hours of no writes. You said you did not want to mix weeks, and I do not want to mix days. I guess I could make a Monday pool, and a Tuesday pool, but that seems a bit much, but that might work. Right now I just have one Daily pool and one Weekly pool. Robert LeBlanc wrote: > I've run into a similar problem that he seems to talk about.

[Bacula-users] Bacula BLOCK issue where already created volumes not being read
Good Morning Everyone, I have an issue with Bacula. Here is the case. I Bacula setup on both an Ubuntu Server machine and Solaris. The director is on Ubuntu and storage server on Solaris. We have a LTO-180 Solaris tape library implemented. I recently ran a label barcodes command which created volumes with the same name as the barcodes: FCOM. This resulted in a default pool of volumes FCOM01,.FCOM20. I performed an update scan slots twice. I then moved FCOM01-FCOM03 into a new pool i created: WindowsBackupServer Pool from the default. Here are the tables: Default Pool: +-++---+-+--+--+--+-+--+---+---+-+ | MediaId | VolumeName | VolStatus | Enabled | VolBytes | VolFiles | VolRetention | Recycle | Slot | InChanger | MediaType | LastWritten | +-++---+-+--+--+--+-+--+---+---+-+ | 12 | FCOM04 | Append| 1 | 64,512 |0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 104 | 1 | LTO-2 | -00-00 00:00:00 | | 13 | FCOM05 | Append| 1 | 64,512 |0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 105 | 1 | LTO-2 | -00-00 00:00:00 | | 14 | FCOM06 | Append| 1 | 64,512 |0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 106 | 1 | LTO-2 | -00-00 00:00:00 | | 15 | FCOM07 | Append| 1 | 64,512 |0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 107 | 1 | LTO-2 | -00-00 00:00:00 | | 16 | FCOM08 | Append| 1 | 64,512 |0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 108 | 1 | LTO-2 | -00-00 00:00:00 | | 17 | FCOM09 | Append| 1 | 64,512 |0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 109 | 1 | LTO-2 | -00-00 00:00:00 | | 18 | FCOM10 | Append| 1 | 64,512 |0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 110 | 1 | LTO-2 | -00-00 00:00:00 | | 19 | FCOM12 | Append| 1 | 64,512 |0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 112 | 1 | LTO-2 | -00-00 00:00:00 | | 20 | FCOM13 | Append| 1 | 64,512 |0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 113 | 1 | LTO-2 | -00-00 00:00:00 | | 21 | FCOM14 | Append| 1 | 64,512 |0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 114 | 1 | LTO-2 | -00-00 00:00:00 | | 22 | FCOM15 | Append| 1 | 64,512 |0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 115 | 1 | LTO-2 | -00-00 00:00:00 | | 23 | FCOM16 | Append| 1 | 64,512 |0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 116 | 1 | LTO-2 | -00-00 00:00:00 | | 24 | FCOM17 | Append| 1 | 64,512 |0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 117 | 1 | LTO-2 | -00-00 00:00:00 | | 25 | FCOM18 | Append| 1 | 64,512 |0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 118 | 1 | LTO-2 | -00-00 00:00:00 | | 26 | FCOM19 | Append| 1 | 64,512 |0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 119 | 1 | LTO-2 | -00-00 00:00:00 | | 27 | FCOM20 | Append| 1 | 64,512 |0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 120 | 1 | LTO-2 | -00-00 00:00:00 | +-++---+-+--+--+--+-+--+---+---+-+ Pool: Scratch No results to list.

[Bacula-users] order of operations
I'm pulling a massive full backup, and am curious on one point. I can see, in bconsole, that the file daemon is examining files. I can also see that the bytes / files backed up is holding at 0 on the jobs list. Does bacula examine all the files before it begins to actually back them up? Ie does the file daemon have to finish all the examining before the data begins to transfer over to the storage daemon? That was my assumption, but, I have seen the storage machine (same machine as the director) have its incremental backup run and that run was *much* larger than its initial full backup, so, thinking there may be some data coming over, but just not sure...
