 192.168.1.139 home.dyndns.org
 
 (192.168.1.139 being home1's local address)
 
 and then i used the certificate for home.dyndns.org instead of the one
 for home1.local for Director-SD and FD-SD communication.  communication
 works between all daemons, and a backup of work1 is running.
 
 this doesn't seem very elegant to me, though, because home.dyndns.org
 typically resolves to my router's WAN address.  are there any inherent
 problems with this implementation?  any better suggestions?  thanks so much
 

Nothing by me. I have similar apparoach, but not with hosts file, but a
local DNS-server. My LAN bind resolves local addresses to my dyndns
hosts, and dyndns resolves the WAN address. Everything works fine.

[Bacula-users] Problem with data encryption on windows client

2011-07-27 Thread mariusz
Hello, 

This is my first post on this forum and I need your help. I`ve searched 
previous topics and I didn`t find solutions for my problem.

I`ve got a problem with configure data encryption via PKI. I attached current 
client configuration.
I try to start with console and I receive:

ERROR TERMINATION at /home/kern/bacula/k/bacula/src/lib/parse_conf.c#58;971
Config error#58; Keyword PKISignatures not permitted in thi resource.
Perhaps you left the trailing brace off of the previous resource.


Does Bacula support data encryption via PKI on Windows? I also installed 
OpenSSL on windows with MS Visual C++ 2008 Redistribute Package.

I`ve configured clients on linux with data encryption and I haven`t got any 
problem on linux.

Re: [Bacula-users] Problem with data encryption on windows client

I use encryption with Windows 7 and it works perfectly. But I put my PKI
configuration into the FileDeamon { } directive instead the Director { }
directive. Also, I didn't need to install OpenSSL separately, I just
installed the Bacula Client 5.0.3 for windows.

  tape drives for backup purposes.)
 
  Among other things, I'm doing full backups of a set of machines to a
  single tape--yes, full backup each time, no incremental/differential
  which means I supposedly have just straightforward data flows from
  FDs to the SD.  At present time I have max concurrent jobs set to 1

  Would I benefit from enabling data spooling in this scenario?

 OK, perhaps I'm not the best person to ask, but here's what I do know:
 
 Even with only 1 job at a time, if you aren't able to deliver data to 
 the drive at its minimum streaming data rate (for LTO4, probably at 
 least 40MB/sec--possibly varies by manufacturer), then the tape 
 mechanism will have to stop, go back a bit, wait for more data, then 
 start up again--all of this takes time, and increases wear on the
 tapes and drive heads.
[...]
 I hope this helps,

Apart from giving me the knowledge of this mechanics, your message
made me sit down and make some measures.  So I discovered that my LTO-4
drive is actually faster to write (up to 10 times) than my local
filesystems are to read (and I was absolutely sure it's the other way
round).  We're now considering implementing a raid0 for data spooling.
Hence, thanks!

[Bacula-users] Bacula and Dell Powervault 124T

2011-07-27 Thread lokinc
Hi

I've got a Dell Powervault 124T connected to a new server using SAS.

On the server I'm running CentOS 6 with Bacula 5.0.0 installed via YUM, the 
current setup can backup to File and restore. 

Now what I need to know, what is the first step to get the server to backup to 
tape. How to define the Tape changer and drive and where to define these things?

Thanks in advance

[Bacula-users] Concurrent client backups giving waiting on Storage File messages

2011-07-27 Thread Jeff Shanholtz
I am trying to alter my Bacula configuration such that my backup jobs run
concurrently since sometimes a client can be offline and I want to have
Bacula wait up to 12 hours for that client to reappear without holding up
the whole queue of client jobs. As best as I can tell I've got everything
configured correctly but I still get waiting on Storage File status
messages for all clients except one. Only one client is running at a time,
although they all run successfully in sequential fashion.

I am using a removable hard drive for the backup media with one file per
client backup job. I have created separate pools, one per client, to ensure
that the right job matches up with the right backup file. Otherwise I found
that if an error occurred trying to start a backup of client #1, client #2
would use client #1's backup file, causing confusion since the backup files
are named after the client.

I am still running version 3.0.3 since 5.0 doesn't have Windows director and
storage binaries precompiled.

Hopefully I've provided enough background, including what I believe is all
of the relevant config  info below. So how do I fix this waiting on Storage
File problem so I can get clients backing up concurrently?

Director config (including a representative pool definition - remember that
I have one pool per client)...

Bacula can not load more than 1 volume in a storage device at a time
so your pool and volume policy prevent concurrency. To get around this
add more storage devices. And to ease the management of multiple
storage devices use the bacula vchanger to create a virtual disk
autochanger.
