[Bacula-users] q: re-initialize verify job?
Dear List, In my configuration of the FileSet stanza in bacula-dir.conf I forgot to add a verify= configuration line. The verify job using this fileset reports tons of new files on a daily basis as all files are considered new every day. On a test setup I specified the verify=pins5 configuration and on that setup things run fine. Obviously I now want to adjust the other configuration. This leads to the following questions: - Can I just add this line or will I need to re-run the initialization job ? - Will I have to update existing volumes? - Is there anything else I have to take care of or look out for?

[Bacula-users] support for tape library sun sl24 or sun sl48
Hi, does bacula support the tape library sun sl24 or sun sl48 with 2 lto 4 tape drives? If not does anybody know similar supported tape libraries, i mean they all look (and probably work) the same. thanks Uwe -- Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
[Bacula-users] Looking for client removal documentation
Hi list... there once was an email about how to safely and completely remove a client from a bacula server. Since there were no responses, and since this was almost the only one I've found for this topic, I'm asking here if someone has a good pointer for it. Well, the problem is, bacula is quite perfect in doing periodic backups on many clients. But, as I've seen so far, there is no single pointer on how to remove a client completely. I mean, just removing the client definition in the bacula config files doesn't help. The catalog database is full of references to this client, and the jobs, the files, etc. are not removed by auto-pruning if the client is deleted. So, I once tried to just disable a client for some weeks, hoping that the autopruning would do the job of cleaning the database, but it doesn't seem to be very helpful. Any pointer on how to really completely remove a client would be very appreciated ... -- Le deagh dhùraghd, Frank Altpeter There is no way to happiness.

Thanks, John This indeed took care of my problems. I will guess that it was the relocation of the MySQL tmpdir, but I implemented both changes at the same time, so can't be 100% sure. I am running a job right now where the temp DB is around 4G in size, which would have WAY overfilled the original location's space. -John -- (In this one, Pinky is smart.)

Any pointer on how to really completely remove a client would be very appreciated ... Keep the client and related stuff in the configuration at first. Then, list all the jobs that client uses. After that, you use the 'delete job' command on that list (could be scripted rather easily, passing the output from bconsole's list through a pipe with awk and feeding the output to bconsole again). After that's done, you can remove the client from the configuration file and reload / restart. I don't have a complete recipe here, but the above should be reasonably easy. Alternatively, you could also manually remove the relevant stuff drom the catalog database, but I would be *very* careful with that approach - it's too easy to miss some important stuff. In any case, a run of dbcheck might clean your catalog of lots of orpahned files or directories, unless you have clients backed up that are very similar to the one just removed.

I'm using CentOS, and I don't yet have any PCI-E based systems. How about any old sata controller with an esata bracket.. Stay away from eSata brackets. They should only be used as a last resort. The problem is that they are a break in the cable. At the extremely high data rates for eSata, this causes signal reflection and data errors. If you do have to use an eSata bracket, you may need to reconfigure that SATA port to only use 1.5 GB; I hear that with that setting it is usually reliable. But what you really want is to have a single uninterrupted cable going directly from the port to the hard disk. Fortunately, you can buy eSATA PCI cards for around $30 nowadays. One pitfall: make sure that it actually says eSATA. Many manufacturers are cutting corners and put a cheaper internal SATA connector on the external bracket. That's actually illegal (can get you in trouble with the FCC for radio interference). Worse - at first glance, the two connectors look the same, but they actually have different shapes (SATA is L-shaped, eSATA is I shaped). So if you have trouble plugging it in, you probably have the wrong connector. -- Kevin Keane Owner The NetTech Find the Uncommon: Expert Solutions for a Network You Never Have to Think About Office: 866-642-7116 http://www.4nettech.com This e-mail and attachments, if any, may contain confidential and/or proprietary information.
