You can try to use something like

Re: [Bacula-users] Full backups and off-sites
Wouter Verhelst wrote: Is it possible to have bacula base its incremental backups not on the most recent full backup, but on the one preceding that? Only if you setup seperate jobs. This way, you can have your most recent full backup off-site, yet you should still be able to restore the most recent version of a file, even if that tape just happens to be off-site, without having to retrive them from the off-site location. Investing in a _good_ fireproof data safe isn't expensive compared with the cost of the other equipment ($500-$7000, depending on requirements) A fully certified one can handle 2 hours at 1200C, survive a drop of 10 metres and then another hour burning and 24-48 hours cooldown without the internal temperature exceeding 60C Check out http://www.phoenixsafeusa.com/ As a matter of policy: Your backup equipment should be isolated from the rest of the data centre, preferably in a separate building and at least in a separate room with its own fire supression setup. I know this isn't always practical but it's something you should shoot for when setting things up. -- BlackBerryreg; DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA Learn about the latest advances in developing for the BlackBerryreg; mobile platform with sessions, labs more.

All right, I could alter my script or something but maybe there is a way to put a keyword into the subject? Get your script to return a non zero exit status on database error. John In my experience, Bacula will not see a failing script as an 'Error' but rather as a 'Warning'. The status line at the bottom of your email should say /Termination:Backup OK -- with warnings/ but the subject will still be /Backup OK/. (my mysqldump script does return 1 on failure and bacula reports this, but it's still only a 'warning') There are a few ways to get this info from what I know. You could have your script parse that specific /Termination/ line in the email (should be pretty straightforward). Another way is to get the info from the bacula database with an SQL query. An example query the way I use it: /SELECT JobID, Name, Level, Job.JobStatus, JobStatusLong, SchedTime, RealEndTime, JobErrors FROM Job INNER JOIN Status ON (Job.JobStatus = Status.JobStatus) WHERE ( Type = 'B' OR Type = 'V' ) AND DATE_SUB(NOW(),INTERVAL 18 HOUR) = SchedTime; EOFCMD/ This runs in a script after all jobs and gets parsed afterwards. The JobErrors field will increase for each warning or error, so as soon as it differs from 0 it's worth taking a look at the given job. There's probably other ways I haven't thought of aswell :) Kind regards, Jeremy DISCLAIMER http://www.schaubroeck.be/maildisclaimer.htm -- BlackBerryreg; DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA Learn about the latest advances in developing for the BlackBerryreg; mobile platform with sessions, labs more.

In this case the script will fail as soon as the first command pipeline it runs exits with a non-zero exit code.

Re: [Bacula-users] Backup status OK, but mysql errors
Didn't help. As well as set -e.
The script basically does the following. Make a list of databases with
mysqlshow and then do mysqldumps for all the db found in the list. So
the important part here is:
for i in `cat list.txt`
do
/usr/bin/mysqldump $i
if [ $? != 0 ]; then
exit 1
fi
done
exit 0
I still got Backup OK of
The error message if mysqldump is ClientRunBeforeJob: mysqldump: Got
error: 1449: The user specified as a definer ('xyz'@'%') does not exist
when using LOCK TABLES
The result is a dump with a few kb. Anyway, the problem is that I can't
see that problem at once. A Termination: Backup OK -- with
warnings would be just fine as I could easily filter those mails to
appear in my inbox.

Re: [Bacula-users] Backup status OK, but mysql errors
Ben, you're right, it's directing in a bash script direction. So, coming back to bacula, I'd better like to find a way of communication between a ClientRunBeforeJob error and the Termination/mail-subject. With such a solution tinkering around with every script would be obsolete. Your trick did not work though. Oliver Hi Oliver, Replying off-list as it's not of general relevance... I have a similar script that used this pattern. I ended up modifying it to do: for i in `cat list.txt` do /usr/bin/mysqldump $i if [ $? != 0 ]; then exitcode=1 fi done exit $exitcode I didn't want a failure in one dump to prevent dumping the other db's. Maybe this is just simplified for email, so forgive me if you're already handling this. HTH.

You can try to use something like
File = | readlink /dev/vmguests/backup
to dynamically read that file containing the real device name.

[Bacula-users] Fwd: Re: Backing up lvm snapshots?
Oh, sorry, I really got confused with this mail.
Hello,
thank you for the comments regarding readlink. Unfortunately, it does
not work :(
if I do:
bashreadlink /dev/vmguests/backup
I get:
../dm-6
I was suspicous about the relative path but this can be healed by adding -f:
bashreadlink -f /dev/vmguests/backup
/dev/vmguests/dm-6
With this new weapon I changed the File = directive as described in your
mails: File = | readlink /dev/vmguests/backup.
I open bconsole, do reload, do run, select job ... and get 89 bytes
backuped.
( I tested also the -f variant)
I cross checked by changing File= /dev/dm-6. This saves 4.4GB of data.
My guess is that the link does not yet exist when the Fileset is parsed.
How can I find out about this. Can I raise the log level to see the
parsed version of File= ?
Thank you for any advice,
Tobias

I try use bacula 5.0.3 on suse linux to backup lvm snapshots.
Basically, I create a lvm snapshot called /dev/vmguests/backup using
the RunScript directive. Unfortunately, this is a sym link
to /dev/dm-6. I cannot be sure it is always dm-6. I would like to
follow the sym link and backup /dev/dm-6 as raw device.
The hints I found while googling are are not working (like
appending /. to the File directive) or obscure (like using bash
scripting to resolve File names).
I cannot simply mount /dev/dm-6 to somewhere because the contents is
a partitioned raw device of a kvm instance.
Maybe it is possible resolve the link using a bash script in the file
directive
You can use the `readlink` command to resolve the symlink.
but I have not found information about when the File
directive will be evaluated relative to RunScript.
Has anyone a working solution for lvm snapshots?
The Job currently looks very plainly like this:
FileSet {
Name = FsVMMyDms # Adjust to VM
Include {
Options {
compression = GZIP
signature = SHA1
sparse = yes
}
File = /dev/vmguests/backup
}
}
You can try to use something like
File = | readlink /dev/vmguests/backup
to dynamically read that file containing the real device name.

Let's quote the manual: Any name beginning with a vertical bar () is assumed to be the name of a program. This program will be executed on the Director's machine at the time the Job starts (not when the Director reads the configuration file), and any output from that program will be assumed to be a list of files or directories, one per line, to be included. The run before job scripts are run before the job is considered to be started, so you have to make sure the snapshot device is created in that run before job type script. -- All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
