[Bacula-users] Bacula 7 will only see the first storage resource in bacula-dir.conf
Hey everyone!
I’m running Bacula 7.0.4 on Ubuntu 14.04. I’m backing up to two different
devices. One is a hot-swap hard drive bay which I’m treating as a changer
using the vchanger program. These drives get changed out and rotated off
site. The other is a fixed drive. The two devices will use two distinct
pools.
The issue I’m having is that no matter what I do, Bacula seems to see the FIRST
storage resource only. This ultimately causes problems because bacula will
look to the wrong device for volumes associated with the pool the job calls for.
I have a similar setup on a Bacula 5.2 setup that is working great. So I’m not
sure what I’m doing wrong. Config files look the same between the two. If
anyone has some suggestions, I’d be eternally grateful.
The stanza’s from bacula-dir.com:
#
#
# Storage
#
#
# Definition of file Virtual Autochanger device
Storage {
Name = removeable-drives
Address = 10.11.1.2 # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
Password = "RoundHouseBackup"
Device = ExternalDrives
Media Type = File
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1# run up to 10 jobs a the same time
}
Storage {
Name = LocalStorage
Address = 10.11.1.2 # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
Password = "RoundHouseBackup"
Device = LocalStorage
Media Type = File1
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1# run up to 10 jobs a the same time
}
And the stanza’s from my bacula-sd.conf:
# Define a Virtual autochanger
#
Autochanger {
Name = ExternalDrives
Device = ExternalDrives-Drive1
Changer Command = "/usr/local/bin/vchanger -u root %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = "/etc/bacula/vchanger1.conf"
}
Device {
Name = ExternalDrives-Drive1
DriveIndex = 0
Autochanger = yes
DeviceType = File
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /var/lib/bacula/removeable-drives/0/drive0
#LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5;
Maximum Volume Size = 476250 MB; # with 8 volumes per drive, this should
leave about
# 4,800 MB free for other things, or about
0.125%
}
Device {
Name = LocalStorage
Device Type = File
Media Type = File1
Archive Device = /mnt/localstorage/
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
Maximum Volume Size = 237500 MB
}
When I execute “status sd” in bconsole, I get this:
*status sd

Notice how the “Automatically selected Storage:” line changes? It just picks
the first one and seems to ignore the other. On the 5.2 install, I get a sub
menu asking which Storage I want to get status on:
*status sd
The defined Storage resources are:
1: File
2: LocalStorage
Select Storage resource (1-2): 1
Hopefully someone can see what I’m doing wrong here.
Thanks!

Re: [Bacula-users] fd to sd connection refused.
There is authentication. The fd has a password in the conf file on the client side. The director contacts the fd and tells it to initiate communications with the sd with the ip address stored in bacula-sd.conf. Remember this can not be localhost or 127.0.0.1 since the fd would then try to connect to a sd that is on the same machine as the client not the director..

Re: [Bacula-users] list files backed up on a tape
I was able to get a get a listing of the files on my tape with the command that Ana Emília M. Arruda suggested. I had to first stop bacula-sd daemon I then ran the following command: #./bls -V B01206L5 /dev/nst0 This gave me a listing of all the files on this tape. Please note that "bls" utility has other options we can use for example to read the label, to read the block etc.. Thank You. Uthra From: Rao, Uthra R.

[Bacula-users] fd to sd connection refused.
hi,
my first attempt to simply backup one file, but the output on clients fd
tells that the sd refuses the connection.
1) in bacula-fd.conf
Message {
Name = Standard
..
} this is prepared for an (not installed) director on client. so i defined
a second Message-resource, but how can i tell the fd to use the right one ?
i disabled the original Message
and renamed the new one to Name = Standard
and i added (as i found in www) 'append = "/var/log/bacula/bacula.log" =
all, .. '
2) logging: i tried -d100 in dir, sd and fd service scripts. but messages
on console.
why is logging into /var/log/bacula/bacula.log so poor.
when a job with default-timeout writes to log when it gives up, not as soon
as the errors occur ?
3) on server in dir- and sd-config a password is given.
when a job starts the director connects to sd and fd
dir <-authentication-> sd
dir -> fd -> sd
what actually goes on here ?
is there no authentication between fd and sd or does the dir tells the fd
how to authenticate against the sd ? or does the dir tells the sd what
connection to expect within the next minutes ? ( there is an sd-option
(similiar) time_to_wait_for_client )
why the connection fd > sd can fail and how can i find out what goes wrong
?

You can define a file located on client (indirect with FileSet external client shell command) which will have a list of file systems to backup. Check docs for more info. 2) Can I define in client configuration file not to backup certain files or > file systems? > You cannot do this in bacula-fd.conf file. You can define "Exclude Dir Containing" FileSet parameter which allow a client to exclude certain directories from backup. > 3) Can I restore files from client? > Yes.
