[Bacula-users] Multiple Devices in Director Storage definition
Hello !
I am testing around a bit and found something that would help a lot in my
setup, but i´m not quite sure if this is a supported configuration.
This way i can mount up to 4 different volumes at the same time on one storage.
Please note that the Archive Device location is always the same so i don´t
think i have to split up the storage definition as suggested in the manual.
- bacula-dir.conf -
Storage {
Name = backup.mb.filestorage
Address= 10.11.6.32
SDPort = 9103
Password =

Device = backup.mb.filestorage-2
Device = backup.mb.filestorage-3
Device = backup.mb.filestorage-4
Media Type = backup.mb.filestorage
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 4
}
- bacula-dir.conf -
- bacula-sd.conf -
Device {

Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
}

Is it intended to be used that way ?

Help?? Bacula does not really know what volume it will use till it actually starts the backup so the display will not take into account Use volume once or any other condition that limits the volume usage. That's right - normally it displays *unknown* in the column for volume, and it gets a new volume allocated when the job runs. But in the case I showed above, the upcoming jobs had been pre-allocated a volume, which isn't normal. Also, they'd all been allocated the same one, which won't work, as each volume can be used once only. Hence why I'm asking how could this happen? and how do I fix it? It displays the first usable volume in the pool, without doing any pruning or creating any new volumes. It displays *unknown* when there are no usable volumes (e.g. they are all marked as Full or Used). So apparently Full-0179 was still available at that time. __Martin -- WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula-dir crashes
Just another hint: I was able to solve the problem by reducing the maximal
number of jobs selectable by selection type PoolUncopiedJobs. I changed the
type to SQLQuery and Selection Pattern to
SELECT DISTINCT Job.JobId,Job.StartTime FROM Job,Pool WHERE Pool.Name = 'Incr'
AND Pool.PoolId = Job.PoolId AND Job.Type = 'B' AND Job.JobStatus IN ('T','W')
AND Job.jobBytes 0 AND Job.JobId NOT IN (SELECT PriorJobId FROM Job WHERE
Type IN ('B','C') AND Job.JobStatus IN ('T','W') AND PriorJobId != 0) ORDER by
Job.StartTime LIMIT 300

Dear bacula users,
I am running bacula 5.0.3 (x64). Recently my system started to crash the

It should copy all uncopied jobs from pool Incr to a tape pool.
Running the jobs results in:

[Bacula-users] severity of warnings issued by Bacula
Hi, like many people I imagine, we get various warnings from the Bacula daemons, particularly the file daemons. There are some which seem like it would be nice to simply suppress them and some which are severe and I'd actually like more attention drawn to them. To give an example, on a director's laptop, every backup comes with a slew of: 04-May 15:50 yy-fd JobId 14235: c:/Users/Default/SendTo is a junction point or a different filesystem. Will not descend from c:/ into it. 04-May 15:50 yy-fd JobId 14235: c:/Users/Default/Start Menu is a junction point or a different filesystem. Will not descend from c:/ into it. 04-May 15:50 yy-fd JobId 14235: c:/Users/Default/Templates is a junction point or a different filesystem. Will not descend from c:/ into it. 04-May 15:50 yy-fd JobId 14235: c:/Users/Default User is a junction point or a different filesystem. Will not descend from c:/ into it. There are no fewer than 163 of these messages, which makes the resulting backup email very hard to read. These warnings are totally benign and happen on every single backup. It would be great to have a way to suppress them so. By contrast, I recently also noticed a bunch of errors of this form in a Windows server backup: 01-May 05:00 saturnalia-fd JobId 14146: Generate VSS snapshots. Driver=VSS Vista, Drive(s)=E 01-May 05:00 saturnalia-fd JobId 14146: Could not stat e:/g.Avi: ERR=The system cannot find the path specified. 01-May 05:00 saturnalia-fd JobId 14146: Could not stat e:/gx.doc: ERR=The system cannot find the path specified. 01-May 05:00 saturnalia-fd JobId 14146: Could not stat e:/grx.Avi: ERR=The system cannot find the path specified. This, it turns out was a backup seriously failing due to a filesystem issue on that server. Thanks to Bacula reporting it and me actually reading the report email, we got to solve that. I might easily have missed this though. It would be great to have a feature which allowed us to say for specific jobdefaults, jobs or file daemons that warnings or messages matching a certain pattern were harmless, eg. /is a junction point or a different filesystem. Will not descend/ On the other hand, a Could not stat is a message I'd like to have my attention drawn to. It could indicate that a backup has effectively failed. I currently filter all bacula backup reports into a folder if they have a subject header beginning Bacula: Backup OK of . This means that I only get bacula reports in my inbox where the backup fails. If the headers could somehow reflect this more severe error, that would be great. Is there a way to do something like this? It's difficult to catalogue all warnings that might be bad, but one can quite quickly work out what warnings are normal. I guess I'm looking for something like a pedantic mode which gives messages like: Subject: Bacula: Backup OK (Warning!) of . unless the warnings are ones I've already configured it to ignore -- in which case they might even be left out of the body altogether. Sorry to be demanding :-) Gavin -- WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.

Re: [Bacula-users] backup interrupted
Op 20110428 om 12:53 schreef Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk: I have a problem with a Windows 2003 server where backup is interrupted quite often. I only see the problem on this machine (dev0), but the error looks more like an SD failure. This SD is in use for several other backups, which work well. Director, FD and SD are all running Bacula 5.0.3. Also, please note that heartbeat is enabled at all of them. Any ideas what this might be? What is ment with 'This SD is in use for several other backups'? We have a Bacula 5.0.3 setup consisting of the following: - One Director with a local PostgreSQL database. - Three Bacula Storage Daemons, two with 100TB storage each (PRV and DMZ), and one with 14TB storage (TOS). Each of them are on their own local networks (private HQ, DMZ HQ, and the Tromsø office). - Currently, 66 Bacula File Daemons, 25 on PRV, 36 on DMZ and 5 on TOS. The clients are on everything from Windows XP, Windows server 2003/2008/2008R2, different Linux distros etc. They are all setup with heartbeat interval = 60 and they all work. Except dev0, a Windows 2003 VM on the DMZ, that for some reason loses its connection to the SD while backing up. Sometimes it works and the backup finishes, mostly it gets interrupted. so - any ideas how I can debug this further?

Re: [Bacula-users] decompression when migrating from disk to tape?
On Mon, 02 May 2011 13:15:28 +0200, Uwe Mohn said: Hello all, is it possible to decompress the files on a job when it is migrated to tape? No. The backround is: we want to keep the last set of full, differential and incremental backups on tape for fast restore. As soon as a new full backup is done, we want to migrate the last full to tape (differentials and incrementals will be recycled without migration). To save disk space we would like to compress the disk backups. But (as also mentioned in the documentation) it would be counterproductively to write compressed data to tapes with hardware compression. Following the documentation the software compression is done by file-deamon. When now a job is migratet to a device wich has set AllowCompression=no due to hardware compression will the data be decompressed before transferred to tape? Is ist possible to achive this behavior? If your tape is LTO then don't worry about it -- sending compressed data to the tape won't cause any problems. The manual says to avoid it for regular backups because the hardware compression is usually much faster. __Martin -- WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.

There was a bug report about this within the last 2 months that was immediately closed as Cant Fix. I have experienced this myself. I had a few original tapes that I set some size other than the default and those are currently not readable now since I reset the block size back to default. The difference is between fixed size and variable size blocks and also even fixed sized blocks of different sizes. I believe if you used fixed sized blocks (max and min are the same) you can not change that otherwise the tape drive can not read the new block size. If you use variable sized blocks (max and min different sizes) you may be able to extend the max size or reduce the min size as long as you don't make the max=min.

No. You need a separate device in bacula-dir for each device you have

Re: [Bacula-users] Device Error
2011/5/4 Robert Longfield robert.longfi...@klinsight.com:
I know I sent this to the mailing list and please forgive me for trying
again but I am really at a loss of what my next step needs to be to get
backup working.
A bit on my setup. I am running Debian 6 with a Dell Powervault 122T. I can
load tapes, and mount the tapes but when I tr y to run a bacup from bconsole
I get the following errors when I do a 'messages'.
KITSrv01-sd JobId 9: Fatal error: Device reservation failed for JobId=9:
KITSrv01-dir JobId 9: Fatal error:
Storage daemon didn't accept Device PV-122T-1 because:
3924 Device PV-122T-1 not in SD Device resources.
In my bacla-sd.conf I have the following which shows the device name:
PV-122T-1 and -2
Autochanger {
Name = PV-122T
Device = PV-122T-1, PV-122T-2
Changer Command = /usr/local/bacula/etc/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d
Changer Device = /dev/sg5
}
Device {
Name = PV-122T-1
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = LTO-2
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
}
Device {
Name = PV-122T-2
Drive Index = 1
Media Type = LTO-2
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
}
Not sure if this is the problem but why are PV-122T-1 and PV-122T-2
using the same tape drive?

Re: [Bacula-users] ignored entries in FileSet

Thanks for your help! The link was very helpful, and I got the basics working.
Here is my current FileSet:
FileSet {
Name = FreeBSDConfigs
Include {
Options {
RegexDir = ^/usr/jails/[^/]+$
WildDir = /usr/jails/*/etc
Wild = /usr/jails/*/etc/*
WildDir = /usr/jails/*/usr
WildDir = /usr/jails/*/usr/local
WildDir = /usr/jails/*/usr/local/etc
Wild = /usr/jails/*/usr/local/etc/*
}
Options {
RegexDir = .*
Wild = /usr/jails/*
Wild = */defaults/*
Wild = */periodic/*
Wild = */rc.d/*
exclude = yes
}
File = /etc
File = /usr/local/etc
File = /usr/jails
}
}
Is it necessary to specify both of these lines?
WildDir = /usr/jails/*/etc
Wild = /usr/jails/*/etc/*
Will Bacula backup a directory, but not its contents?
Also, although I've specified to exclude the defaults, periodic, and rc.d
directories, they are still listed in the job estimate. What am I doing wrong?

You would waste your tape/disk space. To do that I imagine that I need to create one pool per day and reduce progressively the retention periods. It doesn't makes sense ! I turned the problem on all its sides but I cant find a good solution. Maybe the other retention period are the solution but I didn't succeeded ? Thanks in advance That means that your upper backup levels should have greater retentions to be sure that at any time, you can use the full + diff + inc if needed. Keeping incremental without full backup can be useful to restore only specific files. Yes, but this problem is the same between incremental backups: Lots of people recommended me to use one pool per level: It works for Full and differentials, but not for inc pool Maybe one inc-pool per incremental run of a scheduling cycle should be good ? But it 's not simple I think that a new feature that add dependency between various job levels for the next versions of bacula could be cool. The idea is to allow pruning only for volume/jobs that aren't needed by other ones whatever are the retention time. As a consequence : you can prune a full only (((if the differential is pruned) if the XXX incrementals are pruned) if the last incremental is pruned ) So you you can say that the maximum retention time for a full is at least equal to the retention time of the last inc + the delay between the full and the this last inc so you have something like this : full : inc : = inc : = inc : = inc : = inc : = inc : = diff : inc : = inc : = inc : = inc : = inc : = inc : = diff : inc : = inc : = inc : = inc : = inc : = inc : = and not like that : diff : == inc : === inc : === inc : === What do you think about such a feature ? A while ago, I made a patch that does it. Nobody seemed to want it though. http://www.adsm.org/lists/html/Bacula-users/2011-01/msg00308.html Just because you didn't find anyone that wanted it does not make it a bad idea. Ideas are sometimes difficult to comprehend. I didn't follow the above in a 30 second scanning If you think it's a good idea. Pursue it. Give examples. Describe the issues, in brief, and then in general. Build a case that others can comprehend with minimal effort. If you think it's a good idea, something will come of it. But nothing will come of it if you don't persist. -- Dan Langille - http://langille.org -- WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.
