[Bacula-users] During start director failed to initialize TLS
Hi, I`ve reviewed forum and bacula`s guide about TLS config and I know that I need CA Certifi for config TLS on Bacula. I used below description to create CA cert. http://www.g-loaded.eu/2005/11/10/be-your-own-ca/ I created: myca.crt (./certs) - used in config myca.crl (./crl) 01.pem (./newcerts) - used in config myca.key (./private) server.key (./private) - used in config server-key-cert.pem (./private) server.csr (./) My director config is: TLS Enable = Yes TLS Require = Yes TLS Verifi Peer = Yes TLS Allowed CN = labnet.local - Is it nessesary?

configuration. with a volume use duration of 23 hours, a new volume
will get created every day. so, it seemed reasonable to me to have the
volume retention set to 40 days. with AutoPrune and Recycle both set to
yes, this seemed like a maximum of 40 volumes would be created and used,
thus limiting the amount of disk space the backups would use.
but then i started reading the other settings for the Pool resource, and

in there, it indicates the minimum volume retention should be twice the

that? it seems to me with a 40 day limit, at least 2 full backups will
always exist.
Just taking your first question - there is discussion here:

secondly, it goes on to say that i should be using `Action On Purge =
Truncate` along with a RunScript in my CatalogBackup Job to run `purge
volume action=all allpools storage=File`. when i went to read up on the
`purge volume` command, it seems to me that the command should really be
`purge volume action=*truncate* allpools storage=File`.
finally, i then went on to read about the Recycle Oldest Volume
directive which sounds reasonable, but i'm confused as to what is really
happening without this directive set to yes.
is all of this really necessary? thanks

[Bacula-users] performance problem
I currently have 3 clients doing a full backup (simultaneously). According to status client one is getting 300kb/s (this one is my director and storage server machine), one is getting 225kb/s, and one is getting 50kb/s. I've disabled AV on access scanning for the bacula-fd.exe process. I have software compression enabled, but none of the 3 systems seem bogged down so I think the bottleneck is not due to that option (although I'm tempted to turn on ntfs compression on the backup drive and disable software compression in the future). For the most part I don't mind too much that the backups are so slow because I'm quite happy to see the client machines continuing to be quite snappy. The main concern, particularly for full backups (which at this rate will take upwards of 3 days to complete), is the possibility of a system going offline and thus killing the backup (or will it pick up where it left off, as long as I have FD Connect Timeout configured to be longer than a system would typically be offline for, e.g. 12 hours?). So what else could be coming into play with my poor performance? Are simultaneous backups problematic performance-wise? I've watched the I/O activity of bacula-sd.exe and it certainly doesn't seem to be maxed out. It is using an external USB2 hard drive. Could the difference between USB2 and eSATA be the key? I can connect them as eSATA if I really need to. Seems like USB2 should be allowing substantially more than the roughly 600kb/s overall speed I'm getting though. I'm running all Windows Bacula binaries, version 3.0.3. I'm not sure posting config files is necessary at this point, although I'm happy to do so if needed. -- BlackBerryreg; DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.

[Bacula-users] HP 718 Autochanger Configuration
I've muddled through to a certain point in configurng the above
autochanger as my first autochanger. Previosly used DDS DLT single
drive with bacula for a few years.
1. Used mtx commands to sort out the SCSI cabling and they all work now.
Performed a sizable tar to and from tape with no problems.
Note; devices are;
damselfly:/etc/bacula# lsscsi
[0:0:0:0]tapeQUANTUM DLT7000 2560 /dev/st0
[1:0:1:0]mediumx HP C62802.07 /dev/sch0
damselfly:/etc/bacula#
using seperate scsi cards atm
2. Mixed luck on the /etc/bacula/mtx-changer tests. Specifically problem
is this one;
..
damselfly:/etc/bacula# /etc/bacula//mtx-changer /dev/sg1 transfer 5 1
usage: mtx-changer ctl-device command [slot archive-device drive-index]
Insufficient number of arguments given.
Command expected 5 arguments
..
command is given as per examples on
http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/main/main/Autochanger_Resource.html
Hints?
This is the storage config in /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf;
Storage {
Name = Drive0 # See note below
Address = damselfly.woa.com.au
SDPort = 9103
Password =
Device = HP718Autochanger # I expect this is wrong
Autochanger = yes
Media Type = DLT
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 3
}
Note; I suspect the anbove two commented lines are part of the problem.
Previously all JobDefs had Storage = Drive0, which meant that
everytime I changed the Storage Name, I had to go through and change all
the JobDefs to have bacula-director reload the config. after an alomost
all nighter trying the various combinations that came to mind, decided
it was time to ask for assistance
This is the config in /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf;
...
Autochanger {
Name = HP718Autochanger
Device = Drive0
Changer Device = /dev/sg1
Changer Command = /etc/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d
}

AlwaysOpen = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
Spool Directory = /data0/bacula-spool-dir
Maximum Spool Size = 3072000
Maximum Job Spool Size = 1024000
}
...
Currently update slots scan does;
*update slots scan

Any hints would be greatly received.
