Re: [Bacula-users] Bad disk noises - replace the volume without restarting the backup?
On Wed, Nov 3, 2010 at 6:34 PM, Mark Luntzel m...@luntzel.com wrote: The answer is probably no but... I can hear the disk currently being written to making bad noises, and the speed is extremely slow. Bad disk for sure, about to fail. This is at the end of a multi-Terabyte backup, just about 500 gig left and I would REALLY hate to think there is no way out but to start over completely. So is there a way for me to replace that disk without invalidating the entire backup?

Of course you would have to: 1. use LVM 2. Have the same amount of physical extents available somewhere else in the system as the failing disk.

[Bacula-users] What are your suggestions for backups on a large RAID?
Hi all, I'll do backups to disk on a raid6 (28 TB) which is attached via fibre channel. There will be 50 clients with data ranging from a few MB to 100 GB or more for a full backup, tiny files from mail servers as well as large database ones. Speed and reliability are both important (as always). The question now is simply what is the best setup? Should I do one big volume pool or better a few smaller ones? I think one big pool is easier to manage. What is the best size for the volumes? 100 GB seems to be reasonable. Which file system to have the best transfer rates? xfs? ext4? xfs could be better here but I am not sure about it. I like ubuntu. 10.04.1 LTS or the newer 10.10? I tend to LTS. What do you think?

Re: [Bacula-users] What are your suggestions for backups on a large RAID?
I'll do backups to disk on a raid6 (28 TB) which is attached via fibre channel. I recommend against using a single raid for backups. If the raid controller silently corrupts your raid or there is a file system problem you can easily loose all of your backups. I have seen both happen in my 15 years in the industry. I was not in-charge of the data when either happened and we were not using bacula. There will be 50 clients with data ranging from a few MB to 100 GB or more for a full backup, tiny files from mail servers as well as large database ones. Speed and reliability are both important (as always). The question now is simply what is the best setup? I do not think there is one simple best setup. Should I do one big volume pool or better a few smaller ones? I think one big pool is easier to manage. This is a user preference. I have 15 to 20 pools with about the same amount of space and clients but most of these pools are for archival. I only have 2 pools for backup. What is the best size for the volumes? My opinion is 5 to 10 GB. But others use much larger volumes. Since you have so much space 100GB would be fine. Remember that recycling is all or none. I mean an entire volume needs to be recycled to reclaim any space from after a job expires. So if you make your volumes too large the recycling may take longer than you think. 100 GB seems to be reasonable. Which file system to have the best transfer rates? xfs? ext4? Either xfs or ext4 are good choices. On the subject of filesystems I do not believe ext3 is a good choice however since it will take minutes to delete a large file like this with xfs and ext4 taking less than 1 second. xfs could be better here but I am not sure about it. I like ubuntu. 10.04.1 LTS or the newer 10.10? I tend to LTS. I would go for the newer. John -- The Next 800 Companies to Lead America's Growth: New Video Whitepaper David G.

Whenever anything goes wrong, it is a good idea to check that it is still running. Restarting the director helps too. Also, I have found that you can only restore reliably from a full or a full and a single incremental. If you have a chain of incrementals, it doesn't work.

I had volumes with 20 GB on slow USB-drives, which was ok concerning recycling. As long as the RAID is quite fast I do not expect problems with 100 GB volumes. 100 GB seems to be reasonable. Which file system to have the best transfer rates? xfs? ext4? Either xfs or ext4 are good choices. On the subject of filesystems I do not believe ext3 is a good choice however since it will take minutes to delete a large file like this with xfs and ext4 taking less than 1 second. Yep, ext3 is out of question. Advantages so far for xfs: mkfs takes a fraction of a second, just 4.9 MB taken after formating and no problem with all of the 28 TB. ext4 has a restriction of 16 TiB due to e2fsprogs. xfs could be better here but I am not sure about it. I like ubuntu. 10.04.1 LTS or the newer 10.10? I tend to LTS. I would go for the newer. Because later is greater? And after a while I simply do a dist-upgrade with a (small) risk of messing all up?

[Bacula-users] Can you tell which are active clients from Bacula's database?
Hi there, We have a variable population of client machines being backed up by bacula. What I'd like to do is build a query for the bacula DB that will detect eg. if any clients haven't had a full backup within the last week. (Yes -- I know there are configuration options to automatically promote incrementals etc. to fulls in that situation: we're using them.) We'll then hook this up to our Nagios so the Ops team gets alerted. So I have come up with this query: SELECT clientid, name, max(endtime) FROM job WHERE level = 'F' AND type = 'B' AND jobstatus = 'T' GROUP BY clientid, name HAVING max(endtime) now() - interval '7 day' ORDER BY name (We're using Postgresql) This does pretty much what I want, except that the output includes job records from clients that have been decommissioned and removed from bacula-dir.conf. Now, for the life of me, I can't see anything in the DB that indicates whether a client backup job is active or not. Is it just me being blind or am I going to have to parse that out of the bacula config files? Cheers, Matthew -- Matthew Seaman Systems Administrator E msea...@squiz.co.uk Squiz Ltd.

What you need to do is replace the ID_SERIAL match with the data you

Re: [Bacula-users] What are your suggestions for backups on a large RAID?
On 11/04/10 10:08, Oliver Hoffmann wrote: Hi all, I'll do backups to disk on a raid6 (28 TB) which is attached via fibre channel. There will be 50 clients with data ranging from a few MB to 100 GB or more for a full backup, tiny files from mail servers as well as large database ones. Speed and reliability are both important (as always). The question now is simply what is the best setup? Should I do one big volume pool or better a few smaller ones? I think one big pool is easier to manage. I have a total of four pools: a Full pool on tape and a Full pool on disk, both with one-year retention; a Differential pool on disk, with two months retention (thus spanning across two monthly Full backups); and an Incremental pool on disk with one week retention (sufficient to span from one weeky differential backup to the next). What is the best size for the volumes? 100 GB seems to be reasonable. I do not limit my volume sizes. I manage their size using volume use duration instead. Each days backups go into a single volume, whatever size that volume needs to be, a few GB or several hundred. Which file system to have the best transfer rates? xfs? ext4? xfs could be better here but I am not sure about it. I like ubuntu. 10.04.1 LTS or the newer 10.10? I tend to LTS. What do you think? If your backup server will be running Linux, then for the time being I would suggest XFS. It is optimized for sustained streaming reads and writes, with multimedia and video originally in mind, but just the thing for Bacula volumes. You might want to consider btrfs when it becomes production-ready, though. My backup server runs Solaris 10 x86, and backs up to ZFS. -- 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. -- The Next 800 Companies to Lead America's Growth: New Video Whitepaper David G.
