 Dear all,
 we want to setup Bacula 5.0.3 under SLES 11 SP1 in the following way:
 1x Director and three DEDICATED SD servers (each system has 6TB disk storage
 and one LTO-4 tape autochanger). We learnt from this list that this
 separation
 can be done ie director and sd can live on different machines.
 But we are not sure about these mechanism:
 - to use the file storage of our 3 SD servers the director has to mount by
 NFS 
   these filesystems for the backup, right?

No.  The SD mounts the remote storage.  Not the Director.

I think you need to read more about what each Bacula daemon does.  The FD sends 
backups to the SD, not the Dir.

 -  how does have the director access to the LTO-4 tape of our 3 SD servers
   ie from where does it know the location of the autochanger

It does not need access.  The SD needs access.  Also, I suspect the tape will 
be used by only one SD.

 -  how to we have to configure/compile  Bacula 5.0.3 for the DEDICATED SD 
   servers ie with the same options as we did it for the director?

You... do it.  I do not understand the question. What problem are you having?

[Bacula-users] configure bacula on debian

Hi,

I've been having some real problems installing and setting up Bacula for the 
first time in our organization. I'm trying to get it up and running locally 
before tackling the issue of a network backup.

I've tried to follow the guide as much as possible, but sometimes, I can't make 
head or tails of it.

So far I have the following when I run BConsole:

Husam,

Go ahead and do what bconsole asks, run the label command and create a 
new volume. Call it testvolume or something. Then run a backup. You 
are 95% there.

 And here's my Bacula-dir.conf

Do as the others have suggested.  Label a volume.  Let the backup run .

I suspect, that eventually, you'll want to let Bacula automatically create 
volumes and label them.

There are two directives you need to add.  One is LabelFormat, in the Pool 
definition.  The other is in the Device in bacula-sd.conf:  LabelMedia = yes

The first defines the format for the label.  The other enables a particular 
device to automatically label.

[Bacula-users] It's Sunday!

2011-06-26 Thread Dan Langille 
Hello folks,

It's Sunday.  And I realized  Are my differential backups done?  Of course 
they are.
It says so right here:

  https://services.unixathome.org/bacula/

See that ETU092?  Yes, there's all my differentials from today.  All neatly 
backed up to disk
and then copied over to tape.

Why do I mention it?  Because from time to time, I forget that Bacula is 
running and doing this stuff.

[Bacula-users] Problems backing up to disk

2011-06-26 Thread mikewilt 
I have a little more information.  I have two storage locations configured, 
both set up to automatically label and recycle.  The problem seems to come 
because it goes looking for a volume that was automatically labeled in one 
storage location, but it expects to find it in the other storage location.  
Some relevant bits from the log:

26-Jun 00:34 debian-dir JobId 1413: Recycled volume Inc-0011
26-Jun 00:34 debian-sd JobId 1413: Labeled new Volume Inc-0011 on device 
FileDisk2 (/disk2).
26-Jun 00:34 debian-sd JobId 1413: Wrote label to prelabeled Volume Inc-0011 
on device FileDisk2 (/disk2)

... then did a backup to this volume successfully:

... then for some reason it goes looking for this same volume in the other 
storage location.  I can't find it, and sets the status to Error and moves on 
to recycle a different volume:

26-Jun 02:57 debian-dir JobId 1411: Using Device FileDisk1
26-Jun 02:59 joycelatitude-fd JobId 1411: DIR and FD clocks differ by 67

FileDisk1 (/disk1).
26-Jun 02:57 debian-sd JobId 1411: Wrote label to prelabeled Volume Inc-0013 
on device FileDisk1 (/disk1)

The net result is that each volume is used for a while, then set to Error 
status before it fills up or gets to max jobs or something else that might 
trigger recycling.  If I leave it unattended it wastes all the volumes in 
this fashion and they can't be automatically recycled no matter how old they 
get.

[Bacula-users] Pool strategies

2011-06-26 Thread lists 
 Hi guys,

 I'm currently setting up a new Bacula environment and I thought I would 
 get some different patterns of thought before i start the 
 implementation. :)

 The plan is pretty simple, I need to keep some of my backups for 2 
 weeks, others for 2 months for example. My thought was to create pools 
 for each timespan with matching volume retention, as in pool-full-2week, 
 pool-inc-2week, pool-full-2month, etc. and assign jobs to the 
 corresponding pools. I just wanted to see what some of you with similar 
 needs did to setup his system, to mitigate false assumptions.

 Amaze me! ;)

 Thanks a lot for your feedback!

 Kind regards,

 Bart
