Post the contents of the c:\programdata\bacula\bacula-fd.conf file, but I 
suspect you just need to change the @monitor_name@ to the same as the director 
name earlier in the config file but with an extension of -mon or something. Or 
just remove the monitor section entirely which is what I do (I find the tray 
monitor causes crashes).

Notice the error misses the first "@"?
http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/install/install/Customizin_Configurat_Files.html
See the section "Including other Configuration Files"

It's looking for the file you told the binary to include. Now look in your file 
and see that
this is simply a placeholder for a value, arguably a bad one as the syntax 
means something
else but it was intended to be obvious anyway.

See the last entry in the faq about making a password, and see here for how to 
correlate them:

[Bacula-users] Windows client error

[rmcgee]

I Just installed the Bacula windows client 5.2.2 on a windows 7 home premium
64-bit edition. I used the password listed in the Bacula-dir.conf  found at
/etc/bacula/  on the main server which is running Ubuntu 10.04 lts and I
installed the Bacula version from the Ubuntu Software Center on the server.
I have disabled ufw and windows firewall to ensure that is not the issue on
either end. On the Ubuntu Server I have the Bacula module installed on
Webmin and have that all set-up and working correctly. From the webmin
console I can get the info from the client so I believe the client info was
added correctly to the server. The Bconsole from the client will not connect
to the server. I ran Bacula-fd -t >out  from the cli on the client and this
is what I got:


---

c:\Program Files\Bacula>.\bacula-fd -t >out

[Bacula-users] Start from Scratch with Current settings

[rmcgee]

I have found a few things on the net about this issue, but nothing really
verified and I am afraid of losing my days of configuring to get everything
just right.

 

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and installed Bacula via the apt-get command. I
have a raid array that is mounted that works as the VTapes and I backup
across multiple domains.

 

I would like my jobs and volumes to start over without losing clients,
volume pools, storage directors, etc.  So Job 1 and Volume0001.

 

Is this all I have to do?:

  apt-get remove bacula-director-mysql 
  apt-get install bacula-director-mysql

 

Or are there other steps? Do I manually delete the Volumes or will those get
removed if the db is reset? If someone can give me a simple step by step, it
would be awesome!

 

Thanks!

[Laurent Pirotte]

Hi,

I'm trying to restore a catalog froma a tape to a new bacula server

postgresql server. Can I force bscan to connect to a mysql server ?
There is a -D option in the bscan command but I don't have found any
information on the parameter I have to provide.

Ok that log is kind of useless. I'm not to interested in
the director and sd as they are not really involved and couldn't
care less what you save.

I would run a bacula-fd -d 100 -f on a test client. e.g. first
shutdown the original bacula-fd and redirect that output to
a file. When we get that data of the backup we can take it
from there first lets make sure bacula-fd sees the xattr.
Like I said in the other mail its better to put just one file
you know for sure has these capability in a seperate fileset.

[Bacula-users] Problems restoring files with bRestore

[Peter A. Henning]

Hi there,

sorry for asking a newbie question, I am sure that I have made some error in 
the config but cannot find it. 

When using the bat frontend (version 5.2.1) with bRestore (_not_ the "Restore 
Files" button) to restore files it generates a job as

run job="RestoreFiles" fileset="WB3" level="" client="trantor-fd" 
pool="Default" storage="HDDBackup" priority="10" when="2011-12-19 12:55:46" 
yes 

This job  then terminates with

Level "" not valid.
Job not run.

When I enter the _same_  "run ..." command manually in bconsole, it runs when 
setting "level=Incremental" and really restores the file. So far, so good - 
but  in the documentation it says nothing about a "Level" in restoring files. 

Also, if - just for testing this - I put a "Level = Incremental" into the 
restore job description of bacula-dir, it is displayed in the bat frontend 
when listing the defined jobs. But when I then start the restore with bRestore 
in bat, this level description is not taken over in the restore job string, 
where  I end up with te same fault as above.

So, where is the fault now ? 

And I should also mention, that the "Restore Files" button in the bat frontend 
works just fine.

Regards

[Bacula-users] Storage Resouce address scripting?

[René Moser]

Hi

We use dedicated backup networks. 

This means, from the bacula-fds point of view, the storage daemon has
several different addresses depending on the clients network.

So, this means I need to define as much storage resources to the same
device as networks exists, which is kind of inconvenient.

I tried to "script" the storage resource address like

Storage {
...
Address = @|"sh /etc/bacula/scripts/get-backup-network %n"
...
}

or define the address on client side:

Storage {
...
Address = "\\http://www.adfinis-sygroup.ch

No idea I'm not much into Linux these days the website describing
the info seems to indicate its in 2.6.24 and later if that's 4 years
old then it been there a bit longer only no one used it or nobody
did look at it.

Ok interesting.

Nope when its saved it will be restored unless you restore
to a filesystem where no xattr can be restored. So restore
to a real filesystem not to things like ramfs etc because
those are known to be very limited.

No idea I only have been for 3 years+ and the support was

sparse.

But I do because I don't want to code and support code when

The PDF linked is about the NSS stuff the website linked has quite
some info on how they are implemented and how they are stored and retrieved
using normal tools like attr etc.

Ok that is at least something as rsync uses the same interface
we use on Linux for extended attributes so either you are restoring
to a filesystem without xattr support or we are for whatever reason
not getting these xattr saved,

Ok, so its on Fedora 16 will install a VM then and see what
is going on in that respect. You got me curious on why the

I guess its compiled with xattr support otherwise you
would get fatal errors on backup trying to enable xattrsupport.

I'll see if I can find something obvious, but as rsync works
I'm confident that we should just save them without additional code.

[Bacula-users] New user struggling to get staging to work

[Jonathon Royle]

Hi,

I have recently moved from commercial backup software to bacula and I like the 
flexibility (shame VSS is not currently Win08 R2 optimised) however I am 
struggling to get staging to work.

Current backup schedule
5 clients including bacula-fd (3 Linux, 2 Win)
1st Month Full backup to FileStorage
Daily incremental backups to FileStorage
Two Pools - MonthlyFullFile and DailyIncrementalFIle  all backup jobs ref 
Default Backup
Individual volumes created for each job

Objective

Yearly Full copy from FileStorage to OffSiteFileStorage
Weekly Incremental from FileStorage OffSiteFileStorage

I have created the config files below however every time I run the 
'offsite-copy' job I get an error that Level="" not valid.  Suggestions 
appreciated.

Regards,

Jon



Job {
  Name = "offsite-copy"
 Type = copy
  Client = bacula-fd
  Level = Full  # must be defined but is ignored
  FileSet = "Full Set"
  Selection Type = Volume
  Selection Pattern = "File"
  Priority = 200
  Storage = OffSiteFileStorage
  Pool = Default  # will be overwritten by Next Pool flag
}

Pool {
  Name = Default
  Pool Type = Backup
  Next Pool = OffSiteWeeklyIncrementalFile
}

Pool {
  Name = OffSiteWeeklyIncrementalFile
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = no
  AutoPrune = no
  Label Format = 
"OffSite_$(Client)_Incr_${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}}-${Day:p/2/0/r}"
Storage = OffSiteFile
}

Hm... v2.6.24 is four years old...  Maybe you mean v2.6.34,
and May 2010?

Hm... I have these settings in the FileSet definition:

  Include {
Options {
  signature = MD5
  xattrsupport = yes
  aclsupport = yes
}
File = /usr/bin
  }

When restoring, the file attributes were lost anyway.

Is there any other place I need to give extra options?  When
restoring?

Guess why I've been using bacula for so long...

I'm just a user of bacula, no developer of it, so I don't care much
about the implementation or the interface. As long as the
functionality is present and working I'm fine with it.

In the linked PDF file I cannot find a reference to cpio or rsync.

But rsync does indeed work as needed when using -X.  Sorry, I missed that.

The cpio in Fedora 16 does not appear to support this.

Done that, but I could not see any.

This is with bacula as distributed with Fedora 16, most recent
updates installed:

bacula-client-5.0.3-13.fc16.x86_64
bacula-common-5.0.3-13.fc16.x86_64

bacula-storage-common-5.0.3-13.fc16.x86_64

Thats not really true. I did some searching on google to find out
how these so called POSIX file capabilities are implemented.
Its also quite new code it went into Linux 2.6.24 in may last year or so.

There is quite some info on the new option at

http://www.friedhoff.org/posixfilecaps.html

As it seems there is a new interface which mimics the acl subsytem.
But the low level implementation is based on extended attributes.
So probably if you enable xattr = yes and save the extended
attributes you are set and things backup fine and restore fine.

Nope they are so new and no mainstream distro seems to have
implemented them already. (Fedora is probably one of the first
to do so.)

Yup add acl = yes and xattr = yes to your fileset and you should
be set to backup most of the future options. Bacula is one of
the few Open Source backup products (probably the only)
which has very broad support for all these kind of exotic
acl's, extended attributes and extensible attributes. I had to
write everything from scratch as no other projects address all
know interfaces. So we are quite good in doing the exotic stuff.
You want to do xattrs anyhow as selinux also uses it a lot.

> If not, are there any plans to add such a feature?
> 
I don't plan on adding the additional interface for capabilities
as the generic xattr interface should be sufficient. If its not
we may look at cloning the acl code and interface to the 
posix file capabilities API. Its quite the same as acl, but
as acl's on Linux are also stored as extended attributes we
already have enough overhead in supporting both the ACL and XATTR
interfaces on Linux so I would prefer not to add an other interface
if the generic extended attribute code works.

We already found out that Novell uses extended attributes for
storing additional access control lists on there NSS filesystem.
And those also backup and restore fine with the generic xattr code.

See

If you look at the linked webpage you will see that rsync and cpio
have support for extended attributes and that is used to copy these
posix file capabilities.

So I would say give the xattr=yes a go on your install and see
if it works for these attributes. You could create a test fileset
with a known file with a posix file capability and run the bacula-fd
with a debug level of 100 and watch for xattr save messages.

It is now working for RHEL 5; it was a problem of the different default

Re: [Bacula-users] Fedora 16 - RHEL 5/6 Bacula RPM repository

[Rodrigo Renie Braga]

Hello Simone, just to give you a feedback: I've tried again on a i386
CentOS 5.7 box and the problem persists:

Just strange, and apparently it does not happens on a CentOS 6 box...
Anyway, thanks again for you contribution, I'm installing using the .rpm
directly.

Thanks Dan, i will keep that in mind. Sorry for the inconvenience. :)

This is my updateslots.sh script:

*echo 'update slots=1-24 storage=cinta scan' | /sbin/bconsole -c
/etc/bacula/bconsole.conf*

This script works without problems in previous versión.

Anyway, for reasons unknown (i suspect machine reboot) now it works.
Updteslots job is placed to work on friday and when i see it was working
and updating the slots i cant belive it. Im repeating the tests now,
launching again the script and trying to understand why is working now.

Im totally confused
