Where else could this be set?

It is correct already. Bacula uses wom 0 internally to mean 1st, 1 to mean
2nd etc.
A schedule runs when all of the conditions are true simultaneously. Also, it
calculates
mday = calendar_day_of_month - 1
wom = mday / 7
i.e. Jan 1 to Jan 7 are wom 0.

Re: [Bacula-users] How to backup shares on a NAS without bacula-fd ?
I don't know the answare, but if it runs samba means the the SO is linux, so I think you can connect to it with ssh, and there I think you can put and run one static-bacula-fd and the confing file.. If this works well in same folder you will find the mount point of his disks, and you can find all the share In this ways you can backup all the file with their permission, and also the smb.conf file I never have tried this kind of solution, but in my opinion it sounds good :) 2010/1/20 Mikael Kermorgant mikael.kermorg...@gmail.com: Hello, We're planning to move file shares from a windows DC to a dedicated NAS appliance (something like a thecus N8800 for example).

Well, there's basically nothing difficult about the dual filesets.
You'll just need to give the client two different Jobs. You could set
up all the parameters for the client in a JobDefs record, then base two
jobs on that and change only the Fileset and Schedule and/or Priority.
(You probably will not want the two to run concurrently, so you'll want
to either run them at different times, or start one a minute or two
later at a slightly lower priority so that it doesn't run until the
first has completed. Having two different backups running on the same
client at the same time will likely result in both high system load on
the client, and reduced overall throughput, as the client will probably
be I/O bound.)
Having different retention times for the two Filesets is going to be a
little more difficult. As far as I know, retention time directives
cannot be placed in a Job resource. If you want one fileset to have a
shorter retention time, I think what you will have to do is set the
longer retention time in the client, then set the Job that backs up the
Fileset for which you want the shorter retention time to be backed up to
a different Pool that has a shorter retention time.
I personally haven't tried restoring to a client that has multiple
Filesets defined. I believe Bacula SHOULD Do The Right Thing and
present you with a superset of the applicable filesets, but you'll have
to try it to make sure.

Create a Pool for your annual backups:
Pool {
Name = PICKANAME
Pool Type= Backup
Recycle = no
AutoPrune= no
Volume Retention = 100 years
Storage = PICKASTORAGE
}
This pool should be used ONLY for your annual backups.
Only your annual backups should use this Pool.
But I think you have that part (the above for was the record).
What you could do, if all else fails, create an addition Client resource
that points to the same physical computer but specifies a special Job
and File retention. Use that new Client only for these annual jobs.

bacula-dir hang waiting for execution.. I have no further information on why
they are waiting, nor what they are waiting on. They have waited nearly a
week. All jobs I queue after them even ones with the same or higher priority
do not run either.
If I restart bacula-dir service, all of my running jobs disappear completely as
though it forgot about them.
If I try to cancel a job, it stays in the running queue with the note has been
cancelled. Nothing else changes and the other jobs stay waiting for
execution.
Questions:
1. Is there any way I can get more information on why they are waiting or
kick them into running?
2. Is it normal to lose running job history when restarting bacula-dir?
3. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
I am running bacula-3.0.3 x86_64 compiled on Red Hat Enterprise 5.4 and MySQL
5.0.77.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula hangs waiting for execution...
Well I've restarted the director to get a critical job running, but as soon as
that job finishes I'll run a few more and show you what happens. Essentially
they show up as:
Running Jobs:
Console connected at 20-Jan-10 13:27
JobId Level Name Status
==
42 BackupServer1.2010-01-20_10.30.00_01 is waiting for execution
43 BackupServer2.2010-01-20_10.30.00_01 is waiting for execution
44 RestoreFiles.2010-01-20_12.20.31_03 is waiting for execution
That's a simulation of previous results.
When I cancel the jobs and they sit there and then I restart the director, I do
NOT see the cancelled jobs show up in the Terminated Job list.

[Bacula-users] Hypothetical question ...
I have the following scenario. I have a main storage server with a multi-terabyte disk array, but only SATA, no SCSI. I also have a SCSI LTO-2 drive which, for environmental reasons, cannot live in the same location as the main storage server. In order to be able to copy or migrate jobs from the main storage array to tape, the array and the tape drive need to be controlled by the same FD. I have the ability to put the LTO-2 drive on a separate server located on the other side of the wall, connected to the main storage server with a dedicated point-to-point gigabit link. It occurs to me that, theoretically speaking, I might be able to publish the LTO-2 drive as an iSCSI target over the gigabit link and drive it with the storage server's FD. Has anyone tried doing anything like this with Bacula? If so, did it work? How did you accomplish it? The target OS for the tape host is probably Solaris 10. -- Phil Stracchino, CDK#2 DoD#299792458 ICBM: 43.5607, -71.355 ala...@caerllewys.net ala...@metrocast.net p...@co.ordinate.org Renaissance Man, Unix ronin, Perl hacker, Free Stater It's not the years, it's the mileage. -- Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

[Bacula-users] Where are file signatures generated? Can bad memory on SD system cause data corruption?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hello,
Not sure if somebody on the users list can answer this, but with a
fileset that has this:
FileSet {
Name = Backup
Include {
Options { signature=MD5; }
...
1. Where are the signatures actually generated?
2. Are the signatures checked when a restore is done?
I'm asking because I recently had a weird issue with Bacula and am
wondering whether my diagnosis is correct.
Backstory: I recently inherited an Exabyte 110L LTO2 Loader (IBM
Ultrium-TD2 drive) and PCI-E SCSI Controller (Adaptec ASC-29320ALP
U320). My storage 'server' doesn't have a PCI-E slot, so I hooked all
this up to my newer 'desktop' PC and installed an SD there (both run
Bacula 3.0.3 on Debian Testing with a 2.6.30 kernel). To test the setup
I started a backup with a few bigger files (mostly CD images) from the
server and then restored and compared them to the originals. The restore
process didn't complain about the files but to my surprise, they didn't
match. A closer inspection showed that all of the files only differed in
a single byte.
A few weeks later my desktop PC went haywire, which I eventually
diagnosed as faulty memory (segfaults and gpfs in Linux and both
memtest86+ and Windows Memory Diagnostic found issues with 3 of the 4
RAM bars). Knowing that this PC has had sporadic issues previously (with
Windows Vista dumping to blue screen and complaining about the RAM when
it came back) I replaced all of the memory modules and figured I'd
retest Bacula again. It turns out that this backup and restore worked
flawlessly (same amount of files backed up and test files, but it did
use a different tape than in the first test).
Hence my question: How could the file difference slip past the restore
process and is it possible that faulty memory on the SD can cause silent
data corruption? Or is that not possible and the fault actually lies
with either the tape, the drive or the controller/controller cable?

P.S. the relevant part from my SD configuration:
Autochanger {
Name = Exabyte110L
Device = Ultrium-TD2
Changer Command = /etc/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d
Changer Device = /dev/changer
}
Device {
Name = Ultrium-TD2
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = LTO-2
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
Spool Directory = /tapedump
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
Maximum File Size = 3GB
Maximum Spool Size = 1m
}
The /tapedump spool directory is on a RAID1 array.

Re: [Bacula-users] How to backup shares on a NAS without bacula-fd ?
I try to avoid NFS for heavy or prolonged use because of bad experiences. I have an untried 15-bay Coraid AOE array. What I have accomplished is to notice that the AOE array disks show up, without re-configuring the kernel, on a linux box via the LAN and a mount later, it's available for use. I can opt to go multi gig but my needs are tiny. If anyone needs a test done, I'll be happy to comply.

[Bacula-users] 3.0.3 FD Crashes on Solaris/x86
I just upgraded to 3.0.3 on my Director/SD, and found that the FD crashes every time I try to take a backup. Restores to the FD seem to work. Installing a client-only FD from 3.0.1 seems to work just fine though. Not sure exactly how to report this, or diagnose it better then this, but it is consistent across 2 different Solaris machines. -- Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
