[Bacula-users] Using two different media at the same time
Hi there, I have a tape and a raw disk. How can I configure such that bacula backup to the tape in odd day and to the disk in even day? I try to setup two Storage but bacula said only one is allowed. So I setup two devices under the same Storage... however... in bacula-dir.conf, each JobDefs/Job is associated with only one Storage and only one storage is allowed, so it seems no way to specify one storage for this job and another one for that job. So does it mean we cannot use two different storage device for different backup at the same time? -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

Re: [Bacula-users] backup catalog fail?
bacula.sql is the file that make_catalog_backup should create. Apparently, that script failed for some reason, or it put the backup file somewhere else. The bacula catalog is stored in a mysql database. The most common way to back up databases is in two steps. First, dump the database into a file with the .sql extension, and then have bacula back up that file. make_catalog_backup is supposed to do the first part. The error message indicates that bacula can't find the file that make_catalog_backup created.

[Bacula-users] tapealert/smartctl bacula alert command
Dear List, In the docs and sample configs of Bacula one can find information about the alert command and how it can be used http://bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Storage_Daemon_Configuratio.html#9296 Relevant external docs: http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/smartmontools_scsi.html#tapes http://www.tapealert.org/ Issue is as follows: we have a single slot drive which supports tapealert through smartctl. This works fine from commandline. And should be ok according to the Bacula manual. I was hoping I could use this feature to detect the need for cleaning the tapedrive and send an email to the tape-operator if so. However I run into problems when trying to use it from within Bacula. Device section of sd.conf : Changer Device = /dev/nst0 #Alert Command = sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat' Alert Command = sh -c 'smartctl -H -l error %c' Just as in this thread on the mailinglist: http://www.mail-archive.com/bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg23093.html I found out that regardless if one runs smartctl as user bacula or sudo it from with bacula through the alert command directive in the device stanza in bacula-sd.conf One can run into the following problems: - Changer Device was not defined : resulting in an exit code unequal to 0 from smartctl resulting in abnormal termination of job - Changer Device was defined: device is locked resulting an exit code unequal to 0 from smartcrl resulting in the current volume going into an Used state and therefor Bacula wants an new volume to continue with the job. The new volume is not available and thus the job stalls. My Questions: Can this be resolved in some way so I can still use the Alert command? If not, what is the best way to implement this feature? An external script checking stuff after everything is backuped and then grepping the operator's email-address from the config file? If multiple people have issues with this command (with single slot drives) shouldn't there be an adjustment/warning in the manual?

Interesting additional observation: This happened for a bunch of jobs which were manually run and automatically upgraded from incremental to full (as there were no previous backups of them). Today a bunch of scheduled incremental instances of the same jobs ran without showing the annoying close/open cycle. So this _might_ be either related to the automatic update to full, or the manual starting of the jobs...

So it seems to me that Bacula will pay attention to the Maximum Concurrent Jobs in the client resource and completely ignore the configuration item in the Storage and Job resources.
