[Bacula-users] automatic cancellation of jobs taking too much time waiting for device
Hi, is there a good solution to automatically cancel a job waiting for, e.g., a tape ? In my case sometimes the tape runs full and we don't have an autochanger. I'd like to have bacula cancel this job after a couple of minutes. how would i achieve this? thanks juergen -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

This definition is wrong -- it should be Device = Autochanger to match the

Re: [Bacula-users] Configuring Bacula-SNMP subagent

[Bacula-users] Determining next tapes to use
Hello everyone, We are using Bacula 5.0.1 running on an Ubuntu 10.04 server attached to a Dell PowerVault TL2000 tape library. I run differential daily backups Monday thru Thursday and a full weekly backup on Friday. I have pools setup for both the daily and weekly tapes and use the list nextvol command from bconsole to determine the next tape I should be using. This works fine for the daily differential backups because they only use one tape each day. However, the weekly full backup always takes two tapes. If I use the list nextvol command for the full backup it only gives me the next single tape to use. Since I place the tapes in the tape library's magazine before I leave each day I would like to be able to know which two tapes to use for the weekly full backup. What I have been doing so far is to place in the library all the remaining tapes in the full backup pool. I would prefer for Bacula to tell me what the next two tapes should be used instead. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Thanks in advance.

Before running a job it does not have any idea how many volumes would be needed. One way for you to figure out what tapes it will ask for is to sort your destination pool by lastwritten.

Re: [Bacula-users] Determining next tapes to use
John, Thanks for the reply. I will give that a try and work on a script that will tell me the next two tapes I could use based on the last written date.

Re: [Bacula-users] 3999 Device /dev/changer not found or could not be opened.
Perfect! was just that. I think I've seen this in your response to another
forum user, but did not understand the solution, because it asks which device
was fixed in my mind thatwould always be something like /dev/* ..Thank you
Martin and sorry my bad english!Ema

[Bacula-users] Finding (and killing) Phanton job IDs
Hello, We have a working bacula (5.0.3) instance with a MySQL backend. A few weeks ago we had a power outage that caused the server to shut down and restart abruptly. The jobs are running successfully but now there is a complete set of phantom jobs running in parallel that fail. Bconsole only shows the successful JobIds. If I do a status of a client only the successful job IDs show up. The failed job IDs increment just as one would expect if they were valid jobs. An example of the successful job IDs are 730, 731, 732. An example of the phantom/failing job IDs are 900, 901, 902. As you can see they are not in the same sequence. The successful job IDs follow the previously successful job IDs (prior to the crash). I looked around in the database but I was unable to determine where they are stored so that I could remove them. I have confirmed that there is only one instance of bacula running on the server. Any pointers as to where I might look would be appreciated, Karyn -- Karyn Stump IT Administrator FastSoft, Inc ka...@fastsoft.com -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
