[Bacula-users] Tapes with state Error
Hi People, I have a couple of tapes in my library that are flagged as having errors on - both for having a different number of volfiles to what Bacula thinks they should have, one out in both cases. Is there any way of fixing this? Failing that how do you go about returning the tapes to the scratch pool so I can use them again. I'm guessing I'd need to purge all the jobs associated with the media and remove the media from the pool they're currently in - I'd just like a little confirmation that's correct before I do it. -- Chris Crowther Developer JM Crowther Ltd begin:vcard fn:Chris Crowther n:Crowther;Chris org:JM Crowther Ltd. adr:;;23 Longship Way;Maldon;Essex;CM9 6UG;UK email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Developer tel;work:+44 (0)845 890 0997 tel;home:+44 (0)1621 857 034 tel;cell:+44 (0)7803 168740 x-mozilla-html:FALSE version:2.1 end:vcard - Take Surveys.

I suggest also using 'delete jobid' if there are jobs in the catalog that are not on the tape. Cheers. It would be useful if you can figure out how/when it happened too (e.g. if you have a bad tape). It would; the fact that someone managed to knock the cable to the library loose may have had something to do with it, but I'm not certain; it wouldn't really account for two tapes being in error. Both tapes are in the same pool though, which only services a single client; one which is on the other side of a flakey connection, could have some impact, I guess. I'll check both the tapes for errors though. __Martin -- Chris Crowther Developer JM Crowther Ltd begin:vcard fn:Chris Crowther n:Crowther;Chris org:JM Crowther Ltd. adr:;;23 Longship Way;Maldon;Essex;CM9 6UG;UK email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Developer tel;work:+44 (0)845 890 0997 tel;home:+44 (0)1621 857 034 tel;cell:+44 (0)7803 168740 x-mozilla-html:FALSE version:2.1 end:vcard - Take Surveys.

[Bacula-users] Recovering data without a .bsr or db entries (feel free to start laughing now)
Hey peeps, So, because I cocked up my config and didn't notice, Bacula purged a job pretty much right after finishing it, mea culpa. This wouldn't be a major problem if it wasn't for the fact that the job in question was the contents of Documents and Settings on my workstation, because I was doing a re-install...and I noticed afterwards (yeah, mea culpa again). I've removed the two tapes it used from the library, so it can't physicaly lose the data. I'm wondering if I have anyway of getting the data back off the tapes. I also took a copy of the pgsql data directory as soon as a I realised; I've taken at look at the page files and it seems like the data may still be there (pgsql hadn't vacuumed yet). Anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed? Or am I just going to have to chalk this up as one of those lessons that mean you don't do it again. In many ways I'm just glad I am super paranoid and copied the contents of my development trees to another system as well. -- Chris Crowther Developer JM Crowther Ltd. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Bacula-users] Re-Run Missed Levels with split storage...
Hi All, I seem to have run across a problem when storing Full and Differential backups on tape and Incrementals on disk, when combined with re-running missed levels. If Bacula upgrades the job to either Full or Differential from an Incremental, because of a missed job, it tries to use the wrong storage device, ie it uses the File one that it would have been using for the Incremental job. It does change the Pool to the correct one, probably because I've told the Job which Pools are used for Full and Differential. On a normal scheduled backup, without any problems, the storage is overriden within the Schedule (multiple jobs use the tape library for their Full and Differentials, but there's several Pools, so I set which Pool a job should be using in the Job then just modify the storage in the schedule). Is it the case that you can't combine the two; or if you do you have to put up with a Full backup going to where an Incremental would? -- Chris Crowther Developer JM Crowther Ltd. begin:vcard fn:Chris Crowther n:Crowther;Chris org:JM Crowther Ltd adr:;;23 Longship Way;Maldon;Essex;CM9 6UG;UK email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Developer tel;work:+44 (0)1621 850295 / +44 (0)845 8900997 tel;fax:+44 (0)1621 850300 tel;home:+44 (0)1621 857034 tel;cell:+44 (0)7803 168740 x-mozilla-html:FALSE url:http://www.jm-crowther.co.uk/ version:2.1 end:vcard ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
Re: [Bacula-users] License question
Hugo Schlebnik wrote: I am indeed talking about the binary, not the source. I have no intention of modifying the bacula client code, but rather integrating it (as is) into a larger, proprietary application. Would that mean I'd have to release source code for the larger application? If so, that's a bit of a deal-breaker, which would be a shame, since I'd really like to use bacula. My understanding of the GPL is that you're only required to make the source code available for the GPL'd application, and any changes you made to source code, if you're distributing the binary generated from those changes to 3rd party. Where it gets complicated is when you have a propietry program interacting with a GPL'd program. If the complete package is being sold to 3rd parties then you may or may not need to release the proprietry program under the GPL as well; it depends on the level of the relationship between the two components. Merely invoking a GPL'd application (e.g. Bacula) would probably not require you to make the source available. If you're modifying GPL'd software for purely personal/internal use then I don't think you have to make any changes available to anyone else, so long as you're not distributing binaries generated from GPL'd code (modified or otherwise). I'm assuming the same would be true if you were modifying GPL'd software as a contract programmer, where the modified code is only going to be used within the company you're contracting for. Anyways, the GPL FAQ probably tells you what you need to know: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html The bit on Mere Aggreation is most likely what you want to read. -- Chris Crowther begin:vcard fn:Chris Crowther n:Crowther;Chris org:JM Crowther Ltd adr:;;23 Longship Way;Maldon;Essex;CM9 6UG;UK email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Developer tel;work:+44 (0)1621 850295 / +44 (0)845 8900997 tel;fax:+44 (0)1621 850300 tel;home:+44 (0)1621 857034 tel;cell:+44 (0)7803 168740 x-mozilla-html:FALSE url:http://www.jm-crowther.co.uk/ version:2.1 end:vcard
