Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula + MS SQLServer + Shadow Copy
Dear Gilberto, Place the following option in your FileSet configuration: Enable VSS = yes This option will allow Bacula to backup open files. Use this option only when you are trying to backup Windows machine with a OS not prior to Windows XP. Quoting the Bacula Main Reference - 09112014: Technically Bacula creates a shadow copy as soon as the backup process starts. It does then backup all files from the shadow copy and destroys the shadow copy after the backup process. In short: - Bacula will start the VSS service on you Windows Server to create a backup. - After the backup is done, Bacula will stop the VSS service. Here is an example of a FileSet with VSS enabled: FileSet { Name = Windows FileSet Enable VSS = yes Include { Options { signature = MD5 compression = GZIP } File = C:/ } Exclude { File = C:/pagefile.sys File = C:/hiberfil.sys } } Best regards, Luc Assoua.

[Bacula-users] bacula-fd cannot access files from the system still getting [permission denied]
Hi, I have been searching around a lot about “permission denied” errors, however, none of them matches my case. I am keeping getting Permission denied error on bacula-fd daemon. In the manual, it says that run the file system daemon as root. I am assuming it means the following, -rw-r- 1 root bacula 1012 Mar 6 2013 bacula-fd.conf” However, it seems not working at all. In addition, I keep other configuration files with user as bacula and group as bacula. Is this the correct? How can I check whether the daemon is running as root user or some others? What does the manual mean by “run file system daemon as root”?

You can check that with ps command, e.g. ps aux | grep bacula-fd It might be a good idea to get to know how unix works and get familiarize with the basic and common unix/linux commands before you continue playing with backup systems. bacula-fd binary itself supports the option -u which is used to specify the user bacula-fd should use. You are probably going to use init script provided for easier bacula-fd starting/stopping and looking into that init script might give you an idea how to specify the user for the bacula-fd. For example, on RHEL/Centos, bacula-fd init script would source the file /etc/sysconfig/bacula-fd which contains variables used to define the user for the bacula-fd daemon. Almost certainly you want bacula-fd to run as root but this depends on your specific needs. In any case you should ensure that bacula-fd init script is executed by root (like any other init script on the system). -- Josip Deanovic -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

[Bacula-users] Way to check ANY bacula volume on disk
Hello all, I'm using bacula 5.2.6 to backup several servers to HDD storage. Recently I tried to restore a backup job which is about a week old and encounter problem: Error: block.c:318 Volume data error at 2:1331430350! Block checksum mismatch in block=153792 len=64512: calc=782b2290 blk=5201271d What can I use on regular basis to ensure that bacula still can read volume?

Re: [Bacula-users] Way to check ANY bacula volume on disk
Hello Heitor, Sorry, but in this case, this is a checksum error (the checksum in the header of the block does not correspond to the checksum of the actual block data that was read) and not a number of EOF marks error. The EOF mismatch is basically a synchronization error between the volume and the catalog. However, in this case, it is most likely a disk corruption problem. Yes. Sorry about that. I read the word mismatch and started to write. =P Best regards, Kern On 11.08.2015 14:18, Heitor Faria wrote: Error: block.c:318 Volume data error at 2:1331430350!

Hi, I have been searching around a lot about “permission denied” errors, however, none of them matches my case. I am keeping getting Permission denied error on bacula-fd daemon. In the manual, it says that run the file system daemon as root. I am assuming it means the following, -rw-r- 1 root bacula 1012 Mar 6 2013 bacula-fd.conf” However, it seems not working at all. In addition, I keep other configuration files with user as bacula and group as bacula. Is this the correct? How can I check whether the daemon is running as root user or some others? What does the manual mean by “run file system daemon as root”? Hello Jing: vi /etc/init.d/bacula-fd ...

Unfortunately verify job checks only the last job but data corruption could happen later. Thanks in advance. Hi Andrey, As of v5.2.x, you have the ability to specify any jobid to be verified on the command line. From the v5.2.1 main.pdf manual: 8 New Features in 5.2.x 3.6 Ability to Verify any specified Job You now have the ability to tell Bacula which Job should verify instead of automatically verify just the last one. This feature can be used with VolumeToCatalog, DiskToCatalog and Catalog level. To verify a given job, just specify the Job jobid in argument when starting the job. * run job=VerifyVolume jobid=1 level=VolumeToCatalog 8 So, if you really wanted to periodically check (a|any|random) Bacula file volume(s) you could easily script it by piping such a run command to bconsole with the required jobid. Hope this helps.

Re: [Bacula-users] Way to check ANY bacula volume on disk
Hello Heitor, Sorry, but in this case, this is a checksum error (the checksum in the header of the block does not correspond to the checksum of the actual block data that was read) and not a number of EOF marks error. The EOF mismatch is basically a synchronization error between the volume and the catalog. However, in this case, it is most likely a disk corruption problem.

Block checksum mismatch in block=153792 len=64512: calc=782b2290 blk=5201271d Those are not filesystem errors but lack of sync between what Bacula Catalog expects and the actual file volumes. You could run a preventive bscan to fix that, but I think it's much better to deal with the root cause of this, that would be abruptly terminating backup jobs (e.g.: restart daemons with jobs running on it, power shortage etc.).

Thanks, Jing Hi Jing, There is no need for reinstallation of the bacula (unless you really messed up something with its binaries and libraries). Have you checked your bacula init script for clues where additional initscript configuration could be found? For example, on RHEL/Centos and bacula 7.x I have file /etc/sysconfig/bacula-fd which contains variables that can define a user you want bacula to run with. About the ps aux... The line you have posted clearly shows that your bacula-fd daemon is running as user called bacula. That is fine if you only need to backup files readable by the user called bacula but if you want to backup complete system you almost certainly want your bacula-fd daemon to be run as root. So, check your initscript /etc/init.d/bacula-fd. Look for variables that are used as a parameter for the bacula-fd's -u option and look for the files that might be included (sourced) from the initscript. It is likely that the sourced file will contain few variables which could be used to specify a user and a group your want your bacula-fd daemon to run as. -- Josip Deanovic -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

Do you mean the same data being replicated into two different volumes in the same pool? Sorry, I cannot see the goal here. I see copy jobs intended for offline backups. So the data goes to a different pool from the original ones. I tried some configurations with the cloned copy job, but if you have more than one job to be copied, lets say 2 jobs, you will have the original copy job and its clone each one copying each one of the original jobs. This is not the objective here.

But without specifying an extra pool for such a client. If I specify an extra pool, I can specify PoolUncopiedJobs. That works but not for a single client only. If I specify e.g. Client as a selection rule, I'm lost in a recursion because all copy jobs are selected for copy next time as they match a client name. Maybe you could use an SQLQuery for this. Selection Type = SQLQuery Selection Pattern = SELECT DISTINCT Job.JobId FROM \ Client,Job,JobMedia,Media WHERE Client.Name=' myclient -fd' \ AND Client.ClientId=Job.ClientId AND Job.Type='B' \ AND JobStatus IN ('T') AND JobMedia.JobId=Job.JobId \ AND JobMedia.MediaId=Media.MediaId ORDER BY Job.StartTime DESC LIMIT X ; This will include all your jobs for a specific client, just the backups jobs (not the copy jobs), and if you know hoy many jobs for this client will be copied (every time your copy job runs) you can set this value in 'X' at the end of the query.

Re: [Bacula-users] bsmtp failing to connect to mail server
Thank you all for the pointers and information regarding postfix and google mail. I have not determined which way I am going to proceed yet. To many other fires, which makes me check on the backups rather than check the email.

It does the same thing when I specify 'localhost'. I don't really need 'tls' that is just what gmail is looking for when I try to use them as the sending mail server. Send-only postfix setup that also accepts mail on 127.0.0.1: /etc/postfix/main.cf: myorigin = $mydomain inet_interfaces = localhost inet_protocols = ipv4 mydestination = relayhost = $mydomain local_transport = error:local mail delivery is disabled -- change myorigin and relayhost as appropriate. Plus, /etc/postfix/master.cf: #local unix - n n - - local (i.e. the local line commented out). Make sure iptables isn't blocking port 25 on localhost. To test: telnet localhost 25 -- if you get connected and 220 code from postfix you should be good to go. Note that sending mail from command line is not a useful test since it doesn't necessarily work the same way. It's calling the sendmail binary directly instead of talking to the server on port 25. And then there's gmail. It delivers some messages to all mail instead of inbox, messages whose From and To addresses are the same just vanish, and so on. So check the postfix log after running a test job: it may well be there's nothing wrong with your bsmtp or postfix config.
