Re: [Bacula-users] purge/mark unavailable all volumes on a given storage volume
2011/12/27 James Harper james.har...@bendigoit.com.au: I backup to permanently attached USB disk (3 weeks retention of weekly full + 3x daily differentials) then to offsite USB disk (virtual full), and one of the permanently attached disks has just failed. Is there a shortcut to tell Bacula to purge all volumes on that disk (they aren't coming back), prompting it to just do a full backup next time the jobs run? My fallback is to just create a shell script based on a query result but maybe there's another trick someone knows? Thanks James -- Write once. Port to many.

I see two ways of forcing it to do that anyway: a) create a separate pool for every weekday containing just the single tape for that day, and put into your schedule a separate Run entry for each weekday requesting the corresponding pool for that day b) set the Volume Use Duration of the daily tapes lower than a day, forcing Bacula to use a different tape every day, and take care of mounting the correct tape manually every day But if you do not have a special reason for doing it that way, it would probably be better to play along with Bacula's design, that is, use every tape until it is full and then continue with the next one in the pool.

You are obviously running a version of bscan compiled for PostgresQL. Use a version of bscan built with MySQL support instead.

I want to use removable disks to take a backup offsite either weekly or forthnightly. (Just copy that most recent Full- file to the removable disk) I would like to rsync the daily INC Weekly Diff backups offsite if possible (100MB Link). My plan is that for complete recovery I will use a combination of the full backup that i will get from the Removable disks and the Rsync'd INC / Diff If I add a new server to be backed up to Bacula midweek it does a full backup in the INC pool. This might be a big backup and screw-up my Rsync job. Does this seem like a good idea and goes anyone know how keep Full backups out of the INC or DIFF pool Thanks Keith -- Ridiculously easy VDI.

Hello, I'm in the process of updating the repository with the latest changes from rawhide. Apart from small tweaks and updates I do _NOT_ plan to make any additional change to the repository in the immediate future; so this could be a safe upgrade for Enterprise distributions. The repository is at: http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/slaanesh/bacula/ The main difference from before are the following items: - RHEL 4 support (i386/x86_64/ppc). - Addition of README.fedora in bacula-common with quick install procedures for PostgreSQL and notes. - Removal of bacula-director-backend package in favour of a unified bacula-director package - The libbaccats alternatives are set up inside the bacula-libs package so bscan can reside in the bacula-storage package. Please read the README file: http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/slaanesh/bacula/README.txt bacula-common package README: /usr/share/doc/bacula-common-5.2.3/README.Fedora git repository: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=bacula.git;a=summary Fedora rawhide packages: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/search?match=globtype=packageterms=bacula As before, I'm available for any questions or complaint about the packaging.

[Bacula-users] Per device Maximum Concurrent Jobs
I'm having a bit of trouble understanding what is causing the below two jobs to fail. Job 25915 is a virtual full backup, job 25919 is a normal full backup. Both jobs are writing to a two drive autochanger. The virtual full job is writing to drive 0 and reading from drive 1. The normal full wants to write to drive 1, but since drive 1 is in use when it starts it blocks waiting for the drive to become available. That is as I would expect, but when the the virtual full unloads drive 1 to load the next needed volume, the normal full job wakes up and decides to load drive 1 with the volume it wants to use at the same time the virtual full job is loading its next tape. This I do not expect, particularly since the two drives both have MaximumConcurrentJobs = 1 in bacula-sd.conf.

Are these compressed backups? Now that the backups seems to be working I need to figure out how to implement an offsite strategy, I want to use a combination of removable disks and rsync to do this. I think bacula is not the ideal tool for running additional offsite backups. And very likely rsync is not a good way if you use bacula. I have 3 possibilities in mind: 1. If you are not talking about windows clients, I'd consider using rsync (e.g. via rsnapshot) to run the complete offsite backup unrelated to bacula. Run one rsync/rsnapshot job per client and the 'new' client will just run longer, independent of the others except the shared bandwidth. Via rsnapshot you only need to do 1 full backup per client, changed files just lead to new full backupsets, but only the difference needs to be transferred. We do that on several locations and wrote a wrapper round rsnapshot (which is a wrapper round rsync), debian packages are available at deb http://ftp.lihas.de/debian stable main package rsnapshot-backup. If you add some file unification tool, you get away with far less used diskspace. + only changes need to be transferred + initial backup can easily be transferred on external media to save bandwidth - no bacula, no bacula indexes - no backup of windows clients / anything that doesn't have rsync 2. Alternatively you can use the normal bacula backup + a copy job. As copy jobs only work on same bacula-sd, you could e.g. NFS-mount some external server and store the target pools there. The copy full pool is to local disks on individual mountpoints. Move the volumes to the remote location and replace it with links to remote NFS. + works with all clients - regularily transporting volumes offsite is required 3. Run a complete seperate job instance to the remote site using a bacula-sd installed there. Use virtual full backups to create the fulls from the full/diff/inc backups. Initially a full backup has to pass the remote connection. + works with all clients 0 initial full might be expensive in bandwidth Currently I use 1. and 2. myself. With 3. I ran into trouble selecting the correct pools in my environment and virtual full in general including a tape changer with a single drive. If I add a new server to be backed up to Bacula midweek it does a full backup in the INC pool. This might be a big backup and screw-up my Rsync job. Does this seem like a good idea and goes anyone know how keep Full backups out of the INC or DIFF pool Just do a manual initial full backup on the new client.
