Re: [Bacula-users] Feature Request: Allow schedule to override Next Pool.

I hope this one is accepted and implemented :-) Cheers, Arno If so I'll clean out all other text except the feature request and submit it to bacula-devel -- Item ?: Allow Schedule Resource to override 'Next Pool' Date: 18 November 2009 Origin: Jim Barber. jim.bar...@ddihealth.com Status: New request What: Allow the Schedule resource to define a NextPool= statement to override the NextPool statement of the pool defined in the job. Why: I have an incremental pool that each week gets consolidated into a full pool via a VirtualFull job. The 'Next Pool' directive of the incremental pool defines the location of the full pool. The following week, the next VirtualFull backup will run. It will read the previous full backups and incremental backups since then, to create new full backups. It is important that the VirtualFull backup does not try to write to the same tape that the previous weeks full backup wrote to and left in Append status. Otherwise you could end up with the one tape trying to be read and written and dead-lock. At the moment I have a hack to get around this. An Admin job calls an external command that runs a SQL update to find any tapes in the full pool with an APPEND status and change it to USED. This runs after the full backups have been done. Instead I'd like to create two full pools. One for even weeks and one for odd weeks of the year. That way, even week virtual full backups could consolidate odd week virtual full backups with the latest incremental backups. And the odd week virtual full backups could consolidate the even week full backups with the latest incremental backups. The trouble is that the Incremental pool can only define one Next Pool. I can't have it toggle the Next Pool directive from odd to even, week to week. Unless I could override it from the schedule. Doing that would mean I could ditch my SQL hack to manipulate the tape status. It will also be less wasteful of tapes, since I won't have partially filled USED tapes throughout my library. There are possibly many uses for such an override that I haven't thought about. Regards, -- Jim Barber DDI Health -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

I am trying to find out why. The answer will help to improve the build and install process. Sometimes the binary is at: src/qt-console/bat If not there, it is at: src/qt-console/.libs/bat Within a given system, the location is always consistent. It is one of the above. Why the location varies, I do not know. The .libs directory is the default location when building with libtool (for Bacula shared libraries). This is interesting. Please, can you elaborate? The libtool utility is a wrapper around compiling/linking/install to deal with portability for shared library naming. In the build tree, it puts all shared libraries and executables into subdirectories which are called .libs by default. It also creates a shell script for each executable, which sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH appropriately to make it work in the build tree. Note that this is only in the build tree. During make install, it installs the real libraries and binaries. My guess is that that some are not being linked with shared libraries for some reason, so Bacula is not using libtool and the real executable is built in src/qt-console/bat. It isn't clear to me why the location of the binaries matters, unless the Makefile is broken. It matters because building the FreeBSD port/packages needs to know where the binary is. Without knowing, you can't install it or build it into a package. OK, but I don't understand why. Normally, a port's Makefile (or bsd.port.mk) installs the software by running make install with the software's Makefile. The installed location should never have a .libs directory (it should only exist in the build tree). If the installed location has a .libs directory, then the software's Makefile is broken. Yes, that is the normal situation. However, for sysutils/bacula-bat, the bat file is installed by the port's Makefile. I do not know why. That's how it's done. Perhaps the port's Makefile can be changed to use Bacula's make install like bacula-bat.spec does for the rpms? That must be better than adding more hacks... __Martin -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

[Bacula-users] Bacula plugin exchange 2003 backup

to my unbderstanding I have to backup the stores using the plugin and
not the file selction ( I would do like that also utilizing Windows
backup ) I excluded VSS and db filesystem backup.

}
}
At the moment the backup is undergoing 20 gb and running so I assume
everything is ok ( at least on backup ), I would then try to do a
restore on the Recovery group I know how to do this in windows but it is
not really clear in my mind how to do that using bconsole is there some
documentation describing these steps ?

[Bacula-users] Director connection failure -- FD and SD on same machine
Greetings, I am having an issue in that the director cannot communicate with a particular file daemon. The file daemon in question is running on the same machine as the storage daemon. If the file daemon is not running, the director has no problem with any other file daemons, but if the fd in question is running, the director can communicate with other clients only until a failed try with the problem fd. The included console output shows this anomaly. Notice that the estimate works fine for 2 different clients, then fails when trying to access the bad client, then can no longer access the previously good clients. Also possibly of note is the fact that the Fatal Error line shows that the director seems to be stuck on the bad fd (xxx.xxx.0.70:9102) after the original failure.

Ideally, you need to make sure that the directories where the databases
are stored are backed up, but the contents of the directories are not.
In the event of a disaster recovery restore, Exchange will not restore
if the directories do not exist. It is of course sufficient just to
mkdir them before you do the restore.
At the moment the backup is undergoing 20 gb and running so I assume
everything is ok ( at least on backup ), I would then try to do a
restore on the Recovery group I know how to do this in windows but it
is
not really clear in my mind how to do that using bconsole is there

When you create a recovery storage group for a specific database, any
attempt to restore that database gets automatically diverted to the
recovery storage group. As long as the database in the recovery storage
group is set to 'can be overwritten by restore', and the real database
is not, you shouldn't break anything.
