Re: [Bacula-users] postgres database
Zitat von Joseph L. Casale jcas...@activenetwerx.com: What process keeps the bacula database size under control? None, configuration does. Check your various retention levels for sane values. If there are a lot of clients/files/jobs a monthly dbcheck could also help to purge out no longer needed entries. Also if PostgreSQl is a really old version ( 8.4) the OP should check if autovacuum is running. Regards Andreas -- LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.

Re: [Bacula-users] postgres database
On 2012-12-05 20:17, Jonathan Horne wrote: What process keeps the bacula database size under control? Mine is growing and growing, and I'm not sure how much space i need to allocate for future growth. First, some questions: What version of Bacula are you using? What version of PostgreSQL are you using? How large is your database? I'm expecting output like this: bacula=# select pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size('bacula')); pg_size_pretty 22 GB (1 row) bacula=# Next, some background, which you many already know, but is highly relevant to the topic. The database is used to store the Catalog, which is a list of what was backed up, from what client, when, and where is it stored. The Catalog is one of the strongest features of Bacula. Personally, it is what drew me to Bacula. Retention refers to how long data remains in the Catalog. It is *not*, as commonly misunderstood, how long your backups are retained[1]. There are three retention values that can be specified: * File Retention * Job Retention * Volume Retention Once *any one* of these retention periods has expired, the Volume is eligible for recycling[3]. Once a Volume is recycled, the data that *was* on that Volume is lost forever. NOTE: just because a Volume is eligible for recycling does not mean that it WILL be recycled. Bacula must first need a Volume to write to and be unable (according to configuration restrictions) to create a new Volume or append to an existing Volume). Bacula recycles a Volume as a last measure. It is important to note[2] that Catalog information is the basis for restoring data. Restores can be done without the Catalog, but I sure wouldn't want to do that. I set File retention very high. 3 years. I set Job retention very high. 3 years. I then let Volume retention dictate how long a given backup is kept. I keep incrementals for three weeks. I differentials for 3 months. I keep Fulls for 3 years. About database size: Disk space is cheap. I have TB of data on disk and tape. My database is 22G. That's a big database by some standards, but it's not a hefty database when PostgreSQL id used. I consider that ease of restore is the primary consideration. When it comes time to restore data, I want to do it right now. I don't want to deal with bextract, bls, etc (the tools that you would use if you had no Catalog). That is why I keep my retention values so high. That is why I keep File retention = Job Retention. My recommendation: unless you're running into problems with the database size, let it grow. [1] - some may wish to argue it is the same, but it isn't. [2] - as I wrote a while ago: http://dan.langille.org/2010/02/08/bacula-retention-periods/ [3] - There is more to recycling than this. Pruning, purging, etc. See http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Automatic_Volume_Recycling.html -- Dan Langille - http://langille.org/ -- LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.

[Bacula-users] bpipe plugin and variables
Hello! I'm trying out bpipe with innobackupex script [1], and I need different filenames or commands for Full and Incremental backups, because with innobackupex every Incremental backup should be restored in a separate dir, not just over the Full, and then prepared. Is there any way to achieve that? I couldn't figure it out. I could (probably) break it into several jobs with slightly different filesets, but that would mean that I'll have to do restores manually, finding all necessary JobIds and restoring them one by one. -- Best regards, Aleksei Miheev -- LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.

Re: [Bacula-users] Trouble getting jobs to run simultaneously
You can also set Allow Mixed Priority = yes on all your jobs. From bacula docs: Allow Mixed Priority = yesno This directive is only implemented in version 2.5 and later. When set to yes (default no), this job may run even if lower priority jobs are already running. This means a high priority job will not have to wait for other jobs to finish before starting. The scheduler will only mix priorities when all running jobs have this set to true. Note that only higher priority jobs will start early. Suppose the director will allow two concurrent jobs, and that two jobs with priority 10 are running, with two more in the queue. If a job with priority 5 is added to the queue, it will be run as soon as one of the running jobs finishes. However, new priority 10 jobs will not be run until the priority 5 job has finished. -- Diego P.
