So yes bacula documentation is huge, but everything is in ! One of the first few points you should check (and this is ubuntu/debian related) What type of database would you use : sqlite,mysql,postgresql ? Once you choose : the mysql / postgresql needs to be installed and running. Next choose the according bacula-dir package as each database is specifically linked to. so there's one bacula-dir for sqlite, one for mysql one for postgresql, and they can't be mixed. At your place, I would remove by purge all bacula related package, make my decision and re-start install. (If it doesn't work out of the box, complain about the packager) And yes in ubuntu/debian world they tend to understand network backup service to localhost.

Bacula comes with scripts to create the database and tables. Where those scripts are depends on how you installed Bacula (i.e. what distribution, what package management system, etc.). Looking in /etc/bacula is a good start. What you're looking for is 'make_mysql_tables' in particular.

Hi,

One of these is Allow Higher Duplicates.
I used to this job next directives:

My guess: Because it was already running. Bacula does not cancel
running jobs. The directives are applied to jobs as they are being
added to the queue.
Try running three jobs and then you'll see.
Then you might want to look into these directives:
Cancel Queued Duplicates = yes|no
If this directive is set to yes (default) any job that is already queued
to run but not yet running will be canceled.
Cancel Running Duplicates = yes|no
If this directive is set to yes any job that is already running will be
canceled. The default is no.

So yes bacula documentation is huge, but everything is in ! One of the first few points you should check (and this is ubuntu/debian related) What type of database would you use : sqlite,mysql,postgresql ? Once you choose : the mysql / postgresql needs to be installed and running. Next choose the according bacula-dir package as each database is specifically linked to. so there's one bacula-dir for sqlite, one for mysql one for postgresql, and they can't be mixed. At your place, I would remove by purge all bacula related package, make my decision and re-start install. (If it doesn't work out of the box, complain about the packager) And yes in ubuntu/debian world they tend to understand network backup service to localhost. So you have to change all 127.0.0.1 or localhost in all config files -dir -fd -sd if you want to backup something on your network.

The passwords don't have to be randomly generated, and don't have to look like hashes (that's just what's easiest to randomly generate). You could change them all to Fred and it would work. The only requirement is that the SD password be the same wherever it is used, and so on. So when you're setting up a bacula-fd.conf on client wazoo and putting in that Foobar-dir is allowed to connect to it using password Indigo, then the bacula-dir.conf on foobar needs to say that the Director's name is Foobar-dir, and the Client record for wazoo needs to say that the password to be used with that Client is Indigo. Does that make sense? And, I was serious - to start with, just to remove all possible password issues from contention until you get it sorted out, you should consider literally changing ALL the passwords to (for example) Fred for testing purposes. (Or password, or your favorite ten digits from pi, or ... whatever.)

Re: [Bacula-users] Serious issues, should I start over?
From all that is passing or trespassing through this thread, a passing thought comes to me: I don't think you are changing the right conf files - or you may have multiple executables and they are not looking at where the conf files are. The hint that the hunch is based on is the restart does not restart all services. So, here is a quick way of finding out which file your fd executable is pointing to - look at(edit) the bacula-ctl-fd file. The top few lines of mine looks like: === BACFDBIN=/usr/local/sbin BACFDCFG=/usr/local/etc PIDDIR=/var/run SUBSYSDIR=/var/db/bacula/working FD_PORT=9102 === So, the bacula-fd executable should be in /usr/local/sbin. The bacula-fd.conf should be in /usr/local/etc and so on. BTW, You can take the same fd executable, the same fd ctl and fd conf and copy them on any client(same OS) and fiddle with the ctl and conf files and have it run.

Re: [Bacula-users] Allow Higher Duplicates directive

First job still worked, second job had a status waiting for higher priority jobs to finish. Why the first job does not abort and the second job starts out of hand? My guess: Because it was already running. Bacula does not cancel running jobs. The directives are applied to jobs as they are being added to the queue. Try running three jobs and then you'll see. Thanks for reply. Yes, I ran three jobs, and I have the same effect. All three has been finished OK. I guess that Allow Higher Duplicates does not work correctly. I saw the source code and I guess that if Allow Higher Duplicates is set yes than actions described in Bacula documentation for this directive do not work. In my previous message I mentioned these items. Did you try them? Yes, I did. They did not work. If Allow Higher Duplicates is set to yes then below directives are not taken into account.

Re: [Bacula-users] Schedule - Again
No Don, you didn't misunderstand, I did! I assumed that the week starts on
Sunday, rather than the anniversary of the 1st January.
The only way I can think of to swap the storage disks over on a Monday is to
define week of year in the schedule. A bit inelegant but should work.
Is there a more elegant way?
TIA

Sorry to keep banging on about this but there is still something I don't
get!
Yesterday the back-ups ran as expected on schedule A but today they are
all asking for storage B (schedule B). The schedule works on weeks of
the month and as far as I know, Sunday is the 1st day of the week, so
why is it wanting to switch to the next week on Friday?
Today is the 5th Friday of the month.
Perhaps I misunderstand the issue. Please clarify.
Here is the schedule:
# When to do the backups
Schedule {
Name = WeeklyCycleB
Run = Level = Incremental IncrementalPool = Incr-Pool-B 1st 3rd 5th
mon-fri at 19:05
Run = Level = Full FullPool = Full-Pool-B 1st 3rd 5th sat at 02:05
}
Looks like this matches
Schedule {
Name = WeeklyCycleA
Run = Level = Incremental IncrementalPool = Incr-Pool-A 2nd 4th
mon-fri at 19:05
Run = Level = Full FullPool = Full-Pool-A 2nd 4th Sat at 02:05
}
Schedule {
Name = DayTimeB
Run = Level = Incremental IncrementalPool = Incr-Pool-B 1st, 3rd, 5th
tue-fri at 09:05
Run = Level = Full FullPool = Full-Pool-B 1st, 3rd, 5th mon at 09:05
}
And this.
Schedule {
Name = DayTimeA
Run = Level = Incremental IncrementalPool = Incr-Pool-A 2nd, 4th
tue-fri at 09:05
Run = Level = Full FullPool = Full-Pool-A 2nd, 4th mon at 09:05
}
TIA
