[Bacula-users] bacula has only backed up part of a directory?
Hi, I considered that but volume retention is set to 65 days and the last full backup was on the 1st probably you have a problem with retention periods. When you select 5 option on restore command you should able to see the entire chain of backup (FDIII...)? Maybe you full backup has already expired and the media has been recycled.

Re: [Bacula-users] What happen if I change the client of a job ? Multi node virtualization cluster
Hi, I found no solution to do that. What I think is to have a script on my virtualization cluster that returns the value of the Bacula client that the job should use. My first question is : How can I tell bacula to choose dynamically the client according to the result of a script ? My second question is : Can I safely/often change the client of a job without having bacula going bad ? Does a client change will create a rupture in my backups ? ( eg: Upgrading an incremental to full ) If someone have some idea, that would be very cool ! Thanks Hugo 2011/3/10 Hugo Letemplier hugo.let...@gmail.com: Hi, I am using a KVM and open vz virtualization cluster and I am going to do my backup directly from the host instead of from each virtual machine. So I increase my backup performance by reducing the virtual layers and also it will give me an advantage in managing LVM snapshots during my pre and post backup scripts. The difficulty is that VMs are supposed to be migrated on many nodes of the cluster. For the moment I have one File Daemon per node. I thought I could change the client of a job after a migration ? Nevertheless, I have some doubts: - It will be complicated to rewrite dir configuration after each migration, with obligation to reload the conf - Is there a mean to do that via bconsole ? - I think that changing the client will break the continuity of a job so it will create a new full like if the system detect a fileset change. - Have you another approach of the problem ?

[Bacula-users] Volume Retention / Use Duration
Hi folks,
I'm trying to wrap my head around the following setup:
- For a couple of clients / jobs, we'd like to store two full backups
on disk (weekly full, daily incremental)
- We'd also like to keep 14 incrementals around just in case we need
to do a point in time recovery.
The incremental part seems rather easy, I've defined a separate pool
like so (Bacula 5.0.2 on centos compiled from source):
Pool {
Name = Online_Incremental
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 14 days
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Maximum Volumes = 14
Volume Use Duration = 1 day
Label Format =Incr-
}
So we'd end up with a maximum of 14 volumes, using a new volume for
incrementals each day, recycling the old ones as they expire.
Now I was wondering how to go about the Full Pool definition. I'd like
to do full backups on the same day for all clients / jobs, so I've
come up with something like this:
Pool {
Name = Online_Full
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 14 days
Volume Use Duration = 6 days
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Maximum Volumes = 3
Label Format =Full-
}
But I'm unsure about the use duration. Is there a better way to
implement the above requirements?
Thanks in advance for your help comments,
Uwe

[Bacula-users] Bacula SD dont accept the correct director password :\
Hi.
Im starting with bacula using the debian squeeze version (5.0.2).
Im experimienting a problem when try to connect with the storage. The
console says:

causes:

But when start the SD with the debug option (-d100) show that:

The director can connect correctly to the FD's all with the same password,
but the SD dont accept it.
Im 100% sure to im giving the correct password.
Why say Unknown Director if the same is declared in the bacula-sd.conf?

I finally figured out bcscan and shunted the volumes onto another bacula server, hoping it was just a database issue.

My first question is : How can I tell bacula to choose dynamically the client according to the result of a script ? You can script that by echoing commands to bconsole. Then execute your script as a cron job. My second question is : Can I safely/often change the client of a job without having bacula going bad ? Does a client change will create a rupture in my backups ? ( eg: Upgrading an incremental to full ) I believe you will be fine to do this. Although it is not something I have done often.

You might run into issues with a 14d volume retention. The retention is
counted from the end of the last job written to the volume, and will
thus be at a point in time áfter the first job's scheduled time.
In the third week you might then not have any expired volumes that are
available for recycling.
You also have to keep in mind that incrementals form a chain. So if you
recycle the monday volume, you'll effectively lose your backup of all
files changed that day, that didn't change again later during the week.
Now I was wondering how to go about the Full Pool definition. I'd like
to do full backups on the same day for all clients / jobs, so I've
come up with something like this:
Pool {
Name = Online_Full

}
Here you specify 3 volumes max, probably to make sure your incrementals
are still useful? (something you forgot to do for the incrementals
themselves I think)
Why the 6 day use duration though? You say you want to do all full
backups on the same day. Do the backups take multiple days to complete?
But I'm unsure about the use duration. Is there a better way to
implement the above requirements?
Thanks in advance for your help comments,
Uwe

[Bacula-users] Moving a catalog due to performance issues
Hello, I am using Bacula 5.0.3 on ubuntu 9.04 I am have serious performance problems with migration speeds to tape. I have used the btape speed command to test the throughput of the disk to tape and it is achieving speeds of up to 6 times what my migration speed is getting, so I don't think it's the hardware. Someone asked if my catalog is on the same disks as the data being migrated, and it is. I am not sure if this would be making such a huge difference, but I'm looking into moving it off the Bacula server to a remote server. I have some questions on doing this: 1. Does it make sense. Could it be having such a serious impact on the migration speeds, or should I look elsewhere first. In case it's relevant, my Bacula server has a single Raid 5 array configured with LVM into two logical volumes. The catalog is on one, and the data on the other. 2. Does Bacula need to be on the box hosting the catalog, or is just having MySQL installed enough. 3. Can I dump and reload the catalog db from the Bacula server to the new remote server, change the catalog resource record, and continue using that. 4. I am currently using mysql version: Server version: 5.0.75-0ubuntu10.5 (Ubuntu) I understand that unless I install this exact version on the remote server, I'll have to recompile Bacula. Is this correct? Thank you.

If spooling, or at least spooling of attributes, is not being used, then this will cause disk thrashing, where the r/w heads of drives are constantly having to be moved back and forth to write to the catalog, then the data, then the catalog, then the data, etc. The simple solution is to turn on spooling and see if that makes a big improvement. Otherwise, to move the catalog to another server is possibly a solution, but it would then be limited by, and taking up, network bandwidth. It would be better to have another disk in the same server that was dedicated to the catalog. 2. Does Bacula need to be on the box hosting the catalog, or is just having MySQL installed enough. Just MySQL. 3. Can I dump and reload the catalog db from the Bacula server to the new remote server, change the catalog resource record, and continue using that. Yes, it is just a normal database. 4.

1. Yes. It's ok. 2. the bacula will do this for you. When you try to do restore, if the media has already recycled the bacula will get files from copy. What type of disaster you want to protect? If the boths tape drives was located in the same site you will not able do use it in fire or water incident. But, if the tapes are stored off-site you will able to recreate catalog with bscan with success.

Re: [Bacula-users] Restore (knock on wood) from Copy Jobs
Thanks Kleber (Brazillian?) We will keep these copy tapes on another building (~5km away). There they have a reinforced safe that the company Itaipu Binacional already use for the same purpose. Also, daily I have a specific Job with a RunAfter directive that saves the Catalog Database and Bacula config files on Dropbox (in the future, Amazon). Back to my doubts, I read in the documentation that Bacula will upgrade my Copy Jobs to normal Backup Jobs if the original Backups were purged or recycled (just like you said). But still, If disaster happens and I restore all my Database from my daily backup, the normal Backup Jobs won't be actually recycled, just their tapes that won't be available.. In this case, all I need is to manually purge the original backups after I restore the Database? Thanks again! 2011/3/30 Kleber Leal kleber.l...@gmail.com 1. Yes. It's ok. 2. the bacula will do this for you. When you try to do restore, if the media has already recycled the bacula will get files from copy. What type of disaster you want to protect? If the boths tape drives was located in the same site you will not able do use it in fire or water incident. But, if the tapes are stored off-site you will able to recreate catalog with bscan with success. Some informations cannot be recreated with bscan, but probably all you need will be available on catalog. Kleber 2011/3/30 Rodrigo Renie Braga rodrigore...@gmail.com Hello again everyone. Currently, I have 2 Tape Storages configured on my Bacula Server, but I only using one (which is enough to hold all my Full/Diff backups). I want to use the second Tape Storage to store Backups and take it's tapes somewhere else safe. I was thinking about using Copy Jobs, to copy every Full/Diff Backup ran on the first Tape Storage to the second. My doubts are: 1. Is this the right solution for my problem? Or, at least, will it work? 2. In case of a (knock on wood) catastrophe and loose every tape on my storages (except the ones that are on a safe place), how do I restore from those tapes storing those Copy Jobs? For now, that's all.

[Bacula-users] slot is repeatedly set to zero
I've been able to reproduce this situation reliably. I'm using an autochanger on FreeBSD 8.x within Bacula 5.0.3. * Let a job start and ask for a new tape (in my case, part of the job writes to an existing tape) * Don't give Bacula the tape it is asking for * label a new tape * Bacula grabs it and starts writing to it immediately * while the job continues, run the update slots command Verify that the slot number has been updated in the database: bacula=# select volumename, slot from media where slot 0 order by slot; volumename | slot +-- ETU022 |1 ETU044 |2 ETU047 |9 ETU026 | 10 (4 rows) Wait a while. Then verify again: bacula=# select volumename, slot from media where slot 0 order by slot; volumename | slot +-- ETU022 |1 ETU047 |9 ETU026 | 10 (3 rows) Run update slots again. Verify. Wait... this can be repeated several times throughout the job. My suspicion, yet to be verified: the UPDATE command being run as the job progresses is setting the slot column when it should not be. -- Dan Langille http://langille.org -- Create and publish websites with WebMatrix Use the most popular FREE web apps or write code yourself; WebMatrix provides all the features you need to develop and publish your website. http://p.sf.net/sfu/ms-webmatrix-sf ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
[Bacula-users] Scheduling Question
Hi, Now that I have used Bacula a full cycle (60 days) I have a question: If backups are done Full (which expires after 60 days). Then Diff each week and Incre each day where there is no Diff Then restoring from any given date going back 60 days is not a problem UNTIL the initial Full is replaced/overwritten. At that point all the Diffs and Incre up to the next Full cannot be restored (as far as I can see anyways) and that makes logical sense as there is no base to base the selection on. So how would I retain the initial Full until the next Full (let's say first Sunday 2 months later) cycles back so not to obviate all the Diff/Incre between? If I am asking the question upside down please correct me. And please bear with if the answer is glaringly obvious! I reread this a few times and what I really want is: 1st of month 1 Full Diff each Sunday after Incre each day other then Sunday 1st of month 3 Full Expire the Initial Full when the 2nd one has no more increments (Diff/Incre) before it. Not sure how to translate to the schedule/expire times though.

Hello list.
Can someone send me the SQL Query to get the size that all my Full, Diff and

Full Backup tapes, the same happens for Diff and Inc Backups. But if you send
me a SQL Query.
I'm going to use this to know when should I get more tapes for my Storage...
The OP contacted me on IRC and I suggested they post here. They were asking me
about this page:

SELECT P.Name as name,
pg_size_pretty( sum( coalesce( m.volbytes, 0 ) )::bigint) as size,
count(M.mediaid) as tape_count
FROM pool P, media M
WHERE P.PoolId = m.poolid
AND P.name IN ('Incrementals', 'Differentials', 'Fulls')
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY P.name
