[Bacula-users] multi-drive autoch: Job is waiting on Storage storagedev-LTO
Hi John
Thanks for your reply - yep both jobs are using the same pool, there is only
one.
Here is my jobsdef.conf file:
JobDefs {
Name = Vbackup
Type = Backup
Level = VirtualFull
Schedule = DailyVirtualFull
Pool = Default
#Pool = TapeCopy
Messages = Standard
FileSet = Full Set
Prefer Mounted Volumes = no
Priority = 100
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2
}
Thanks again

[Bacula-users] Volumes in pool with VolStatus Error
Hi everybody. When I do a list media pool=poolname then I see that the 2 Volumes in the pool has VolStatus Error. What is the problem? Can anyone give me instructions to bring the tape to a useable state again? br Robert -- 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.

I think the problem in that case is convincing bacula to load the same
pool using 2 volumes at the same time. I have seen that before. I am
not sure of the solution. I have a two drive changer since 2006 but
for years I just avoid the problem by using different pools.

[Bacula-users] multi-drive autoch: Job is waiting on Storage storagedev-LTO
Yes we have tried a few different configuration parameters which we thought may allow this scenario to work but having no luck, perhaps two pools is the easier way to do this. Would there be any possibility that you wouldn't mind posting your configs or an example that I could take away and test (using your working config) which will allow both drives to be utilised using two pools?

Re: [Bacula-users] Large number of tapes?
Hi John, Thanks for responding! Reply below: Erich I'm looking for a little advice on a setup I have here. I have Erich 300TB of non-changing data that I need to archive. I have a Erich Dell ML6000 tape library that holds like 41 LTO-5 tapes Erich (connected to a CentOS 6 Server), and I have a pile of hundreds Erich of tapes to do this job with. Quick question, how long do you plan on keeping this data? And how often do you plan on restoring it? If this is for an archive, which you expect to be usable for years and years, then I'd suggest that you a) make two copies of each set of data, bacula can do this. b) make sure you verify each tape that's written by reading it back, bacual can do this too Yep, we actually have two backup servers with two tape libraries to make two copies in parallel to reduce backup time. I didn't know it could read the tape back automatically after writing each one for verification; which directive in the config does that? The data will be archived conceivably for 15+ years. Although by that point I suspect we'll refresh our whole archive plan again because of LTO-5 shelf life limitations. ;) This archive strategy is for DR only - we don't plan on doing restores at all for daily stuff.

It's in the bacula manual, and I think it's called 'verify' or something like that. Please note, it *will* slow things down, alot, since it now needs to re-read the tape and the filesystem chunk and compare them. So having multiple libraries will only get you back upto the performance of just one library without verification. Erich The data will be archived conceivably for 15+ years. Although Erich by that point I suspect we'll refresh our whole archive plan Erich again because of LTO-5 shelf life limitations. ;) I thought LTO-5 had a decent shelf life rating, but just making sure you have reliable LTO-5 tape drives in 15 years might be the trick.

If we are restoring for any Erich reason, something went horribly wrong... Yup. The key to tape longevity is nice stable temps and nice stable humidity levels. I'm sure any on the major offsite media vendors can happily provide this, at a cost.

Re: [Bacula-users] use the same spool file for two time recording
Hi, Thanks for answering, seems that bacula does not restore directly from a Copy job, is there a more usable way to have two copies in one job? The Copy process is essentially identical to the Migration feature with the exception that the Job that is copied is left unchanged. This essentially creates two identical copies of the same backup. However, the copy is treated as a copy rather than a backup job, and hence is not directly available for restore. If bacula founds a copy when a job record is purged (deleted) from the catalog, it will promote the copy as real backup and will make it available for automatic restore.

Lately we have to deal with 5 Tb + of data every job it takes 3 days with a LT04 device, so I would like to save time and use the same spool file and write it to two tapes after it is created. Could this be done? Not directly. You may be able to create a Copy job. But that would tie up your archive for some time.
