[Bacula-users] RHEL6 (Bacula 5.0.0) and 'Begin pruning Jobs older than 41 years etc.'
Hi, I understand this is a known bug but has not been fixed in the RHEL6 packaged 5.0.0 version of Bacula yet (see http://www.mail-archive.com/bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg39554.html). We're actually running a newer version (5.0.3) on Debian without this issue but management has decided to consolidate on Red Hat.. So is this cosmetic or should I look at installing from source or downloading third party (unsupported by RH) packages with newer versions and/or prune manually + dbcheck to trim the database while waiting for RH to update the version?

Your average server's filesystem seldom allows 40 MB/s sustained because it often consists of many thousands of small and often fragmented files. Over time W2k3 suffers most from this, a defrag run or two will often yield the biggest speed increase of them all. Linux with ext3 is much more robust in this respect, although some new W2k8 servers are doing pretty well here so far. As long as you are using something like an average 7200 rpm 2 disk RAID1 setup speed will also degrade very quickly if a few other read/write actions are taking place at the same time simply due to seeking.

Hi, I have a couple of (W2K8) servers on a different subnet, network config is correct as far as I can see (routes/gateways added on both subnets, can ping both ways, telnet into 9102 on client from director/sd, telnet into 9103 on sd/dir machine from clients, status client works from bconsole).

The /var/working/bacula/log file does not contain the above two lines, only a bunch of the intermediate failures on junction points, in fact it freezes in mid line at some point (first other line continues there without newline in between, other director output continues fine afterwards. status dir reports: Running Jobs: Console connected at 18-May-10 17:41 JobId Level Name Status == 32486 FullHOSTNAME1.2010-05-18_16.00.56_18 is running 32487 FullHOSTNAME2.2010-05-18_16.01.03_19 is running The resource monitor on the hosts does not report network activity (i.e. an open connection) to the sd/dir, except when I do a status client on it (which works), and it seems like the (5.0.2) client thinks it has successfully finished the job: *st client=HOSTNAME1-fd Connecting to Client HOSTNAME1-fd at 1.2.3.4:9102 HOSTNAME1-fd Version: 5.0.2 (28 April 2010) VSS Linux Cross-compile Win64 Daemon started 18-May-10 15:54, 1 Job run since started.

How should I write the where during restore to let it restore on D:\tmp\bacula-restore? Can't you just set the 'where' to 'D:\tmp\bacula-restore' when you do the restore? The 'where' functionality of restore is somewhat broken, because it simply prepends the original path instead of (partially) replacing it. - if you change 'where' to '/' (or have this as the default), the restore will overwrite the original. - if you don't have '/' as default and don't change 'where', 'c:/foo/bar.txt' from a Windows client may end up restored in a location like 'C:\mnt\nas\bacula\restores\c\foo\bar.txt'. To work around this you need separate restore stanzas for each client. - the closest you can get to restoring in an another location is if you change 'where' to e.g. '/tmp' or 'd:/', in which case your '/foo/bar.txt' or 'c:/foo/bar.txt' backups will end up as '/tmp/foo/bar.txt' or 'D:\c\foo\bar.txt' restores, respectively.

output like logging.
Doing all of those calculations doesn't solve the underlying problem,
which is
that the user has entered ambiguous data by saying run this at 2:05am
local
time today. On the day of the DST change, there is no unique UTC for
2:05am
local time -- it might occur twice or not at all.
I'm just guessing here but this would seem logical to me: when Bacula
(re)loads the config, it parses the Schedule {} stanzas and puts them in
an array, then it does a neverending sleep/check loop to see if the
current time occurs in the array and if so executes the associated job.
I'm proposing to remap the schedule array to UTC and check against UTC
current time. Since neither changes during the course of the year, every
scheduled job is executed exactly once, and always - unless the config is
changed/reloaded exactly during a DST change period, but that's up to the
user to deal with.
The trick is while doing the mapping, you look at whether the schedule
would fall in/on a DST change period/second or not. If so, then map it so
it occurs on the UTC time equivalent to the 'first' local time (for
changes backwards) or immediately after the change (for changes forwards,
possibly offset by the same amount in the hour), i.e. a job scheduled for
02:05 local time would occur at 02:05 364 times a year (at the 'first
02:05' on summer to wintertime change day), and at 03:00 (or 03:05) once a
year.
Obviously this would mean instead of having a static array as large as
there are schedules, a dynamic array that needs to be calculated ahead of
time for a certain period and refilled every so often (e.g. FIFO every 24
hours). This might cost some extra memory but can be scaled if needed,
down to 1 hour and a second basically.
The problem is what should 2:05am mean in that case? E.g. is it 2 hours
after midnight or 10 hours before midday?
It is 02:05+$offset UTC :)
The code gets even more non-trivial when you also need to deal with clock
adjustment as well. See the first half of cron_tick in
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/cron/cron/cron.c?rev=1.20
for example.
I haven't thoroughly read the code so I'll assume it is an example of
dealing with time/offset changes by checking whether current time
previous time instead of the above proposal.

Will the actual data be restored together with the junction? The actual data will be restored with the whatever directory it actually resides. The important bit is, how do you handle the junction point? If Bacula doesn't understand it, like now, you can either back it up explicitly, which is redundant and quite possibly breaks any updates for apps that expect a junction point instead of a real directory (or update files in one location expecting the other to be in sync), or you can ignore it and probably break whatever is using it immediately after a restore, unless you know why something breaks and how to fix it. Neither option is very good. You might argue that the latter option is better, since it's best to fix something immediately than to have a latent problem that's harder to troubleshoot later, however when you need a restore you tend to be under SLA, already sleep deprived etc. :) Bacula should handle this itself intelligently: on backup note in the Catalog it's a junction point and then check whether the original location is backed up, if so do nothing else, if not, back up enough of the structure referenced by the junction point so that it can be restored and complain in warnings. Do the same in reverse for restores, i.e. restore junction point and if it's not in the fileset enough of the hierarchy it references so the structure underneath it can be restored (and possibly complain again). If the intelligent bit is too much work you could possibly leave the junction dangling like a (soft) symlink without target in *IX, although I'm not familiar enough with Windows to say this will work without problems. -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

Don't think there is a bconsole command for this, but you could do
something like this:
echo autodisplay on | bconsole /tmp/foo
Then grep hostname on /tmp/foo, make it a pipe for continuous use etc.
Unfortunately only a part of the lines is prepended by the proper
hostname, so this is only a quick workaround.
A better way is to use a script instead (or in front) of /sbin/bsmtp for
the mailcommand facility in the Messages {} resource, since this is
already splitting output per job.

[Bacula-users] Strange backup errors on Windows 2003, 2.4.4 fd, 2.4.3 director
Hi,
on one W2K3 machine (same settings as a bunch of others without problems),
I started getting some strange errors. The job report says Backup OK with
warnings (which is expected), the Windows console tray reports 'Error' for
all jobs, even after restart of the bacula-fd service and a rerun of the
job which now reports Backup OK in bconsole.
The job also does D:, so I do get some files backed up for the second day.
The eventlog doesn't show anything bacula related, I haven't tried
rebooting the server yet. Is the server on the fritz? What could cause
these errors?

Hi, should /selinux be included or excluded from backup? I.e. is it also dynamically created at boot or will I be left with an incomplete system if I exclude it?

but not yet all the other associated stuff like
Storage/Pool/Job/Fileset/Schedule definitions for them, then did reload in

- 'status clients' and 'list clients' return the defined Storage resources
- 'status client', '.client' and '.clients' return the defined Client list
- 'list client' gives an error
- 'show client' and 'show clients' return the defined Client list
- 'status storage' is an alias to 'status clients'
- 'list storage' gives an error
- 'show storage' shows detailed Storage info

[Bacula-users] How to send Bacula messages to different addresses based on backup job, not type
Hi, Is it possible to send mail to different recipients depending on the backup job? I.e. operator messages and jobs backing up servers 100 to 200 should be sent to address A, but e.g. error messages (or just all messages) concerning machines 110 to 120 should (also) be sent to address B. I couldn't find this in the manual, so I would think it's only possible via an extra 'append =' directive in all message sections, and doing some scripting on the resulting file. -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
[Bacula-users] How to properly escape Linux shell commands for ClientRunBeforeJob?
Hi, I'm trying to run the following command before a backup: svnadmin --quiet dump /var/svnrepo /tmp/svnrepo_backup.svn_dump; gzip -9 /tmp/svnrepo_backup.svn_dump and 'rm -f /tmp/svnrepo_backup.svn_dump.gz' after the job. When executing the above on the shell it works fine. So I added in the job definition of the machine: ClientRunBeforeJob = svnadmin --quiet dump /var/svnrepo /tmp/svnrepo_backup.svn_dump; gzip -9 /tmp/svnrepo_backup.svn_dump ClientRunAfterJob = rm -f /tmp/svnrepo_backup.svn_dump.gz This fails with: ClientRunBeforeJob: svnadmin: invalid option character: 9 ClientRunBeforeJob: Type 'svnadmin help' for usage. Error: Runscript: ClientRunBeforeJob returned non-zero status=1. ERR=Child exited with code 1 Obviously the command needs some escapes lest svnadmin think all the line is arguments for it. So I peruse the manual and find the '' needs escaping. But when I do that (or break up the svnadmin and gzip commands into two ClientRunBeforeJob lines), the whole svn dump will be done to standard out, which in short order fills up the bconsole log and since the job output is mailed, kills bsmtp and gets me blacklisted on the mail gateway for DoS-ing it :) Canceling the job doesn't stop the flood, only killing the bacula-fd on the SVN machine does after a while. Does anyone know how to properly escape the above? I could probably use a local shell script as a single command instead, but would like to know how to do proper escaping for future use. -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

On unix you could sent the mail to a sendmail alias, use the bacula-main-alias:|/opt/local/bin/parse-bacula-mail.sh syntax. The shell script would decide where the message should be redirected when the alias receives it. Just to clarify the whole chain, output (from jobs etc.) is piped to the mail/operatorcommand, which is normally bsmtp with arguments, so bsmtp listens to stdin, adds formatted headers and sends output to the defined mail gateway. I presume bsmtp doesn't look at aliases, so for the above to work you need to replace the mail/operatorcommand with sendmail. Wouldn't it be more useful to simply point the mail/operatorcommand directly to the shell script and put bsmtp in there with some grep + if/then constructions to decide what goes where?

[Bacula-users] Perception of Bacula (was: products based on bacula)
Sorry, don't have the thread in my mail anymore, so new thread. Today I got this snippet in the mail regarding permission to install Bacula on a subcontractor's systems: Regarding `the count bacula', I need to escalate your request to my colleagues in *** to see if it can co-exist with ***. I'll let you know. Somehow that sounds ominous. Personally I appreciate the catchphrase's humour, and apparently my counterpart above does too, but it also gives the wrong impression regarding maturity (of the product) to his PHB. If Bacula (or more importantly Bacula Systems) wants to be perceived as professional, it needs to be acknowledged that engineering culture (read humour) is not compatible with management/business culture. IMHO it's a mistake to rely on the engineering layer's ability to sensibly filter this to management, at least the 'sucks by night' catchphrase needlessly complicates acceptance and has to go. -- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
[Bacula-users] How to automate Windows installer for a large number of hosts?
Hi, I'm looking at a large rollout, and estimate around 16 hours of non-stop clicking for the Windows side of things (I've got the Linux side covered). Is it possible to automate the Windows installer with arguments that fill in the various fields such as hostnames, IP addresses, passwords etc.? If not, is it possible to take apart the installer and write new scripts doing this and how much work would this be? It could be a generic installer choosing from a plaintext file with a list of fixed hostnames, IP addresses and passwords, or a unique installer per server, as long as both can simply be copied and run silently. I would prefer the elegant solution over the mindnumbing one, but it has to take less than about two full working days (for a non-developer who has never seen NSIS from the inside). -- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
[Bacula-users] Retention period definitions clashing with scheduling definitions?
Hi, Just to make sure I've got this correct: Bacula does a simple calculation when parsing retention config options such as month=30 days*24 hours*60 minutes*60 seconds everywhere. An example: maximum volumes=3 (per pool) volume use duration=1 month volume retention=5 weeks file retention=2 months job retention=2 months Which translates to (llist volumes): VolRetention: 3,024,000 VolUseDuration: 2,592,000 So, Vol A is used for 2,592,000 seconds (day 1-30 day), on day 65 its status is changed from Append to Used (volume retention=5 weeks) and associated files/jobs are purged from the database on day 91. (I may have the status names confused) Vol B is used from day 31-60, its status changes on day 95, file/jobs purge on day 121. Vol C is used from day 61-90, its status changes on day 125. file/jobs purge on day 151. On day 91, Bacula sees Vol A is the only one from the pool which can be recycled (status Used) and it has also just purged file/job info from the db so the cycle is complete, everything's fine. Except, in the schedule section, if you use something like: Run = Full 1st sun at 00:30, the actual backup date can be up to 6 days later (i.e. month starts on a Monday, so 1st Sun is 7th day). For 2009, 1st Sun in Jan/Feb/Mar/Apr is 2009-01-04, 2009-02-01, 2009-03-01 and 2009-04-05. Vol A is used from 2009-01-04 - 2009-02-02, status changed on 2009-03-09, files/jobs purged on 2009-04-03. Vol B from 2009-02-03 - 2009-03-04, status 2009-04-08, purge 2009-05-03. Vol C from 2009-03-05 - 2009-04-03, status 2009-05-08, purge 2009-06-02. So, Vol A has a full backup on 2009-01-04 and 2009-02-01, Vol B has a backup on 2009-03-01 and Vol C has no backups at all. After the cycle rotates around and Vol B is purged, if something goes wrong you are basically missing a month. Also, if you make the mistake with file/job retentions using 3 months for example you will also end up with warnings (and no backups) while Bacula is waiting to purge file/job info. Is there any way to have Bacula keep dynamic track of weeks/months and interpret 'month' as 28 days for February for example? -- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

To automate that:

If you're not in a hurry you could run it in a screen session :) (will probably take a couple of hours) The 'file_with_names' restore option is useful to get around the speed issue but even with the 'before a speficied time' bit you can't select a specific jobid to restore from (it probably takes the newest match before the time you specify from the latest set of full+differential+incremental backups for the particular device you select), which means you might not get the correct file. In either case you still need to create the file containing the filenames. This should really be solved by fixing bconsole's recursive file selection functionality. You might also try creating a restore Job with an Include section with WildFile arguments or something similar, I haven't tried that. But I've just found a way to have an unlimited history in the new kde4 konsole. which save me ... Now just have to insert it in the bconsole restore command. A copy/paste with 5 filenames is probably going to take a large amount of time too, and if there's even one problem (glitch where prompt doesn't come back in time for example) you may end up with a broken restore.

The recursive behaviour is broken, as well as listing already marked files
outside of the directory they are in, in every version I used so far (2.0
- 2.4.3).
My workaround for this is:
- use 'list jobs' or 'list jobname=jobname to find the jobid you need,
use '@output /tmp/foo' then 'list files jobid=nnn', then '@output' to
dump the file list to /tmp/foo
- on a single line (hopefully not munged by the list/by browsers):
grep .bak /tmp/foo | awk '{ gsub(/^\|\ |\ +\|$/,); print }' | awk -F
/ '{ printf (cd \); for (i=1; iNF; i++) printf (%s/, $i); printf
(\\n); print mark \ $NF \ }' /tmp/foo2
Note the space behind the extension, this makes sure we only get files
that end with this (so .bak.2 and similar will not be restored). The awks
strip leading/trailing pipes and spaces, then strip off path (using '/' as
separator), does a cd to the path, then marks the file (NF is number of
fields on the line, $NF is last field).
- in bconsole do restore, during file selection do '@input /tmp/foo2' -
this will dump the file we just created above resulting in a bunch of cd
and mark statements executed by bconsole. Use estimate or count to see how
many files you marked, should be the same as 'wc -l /tmp/foo2'.
With lots of files this is slow, it could be optimized to cd to a dir only
once and use wildcards for marking instead of the full filename, but
that's left up to the reader :)

[Bacula-users] Concurrent backups to disk
Hi,
according to the manual, you need to create more devices for concurrent
backups to disk since Bacula regards everything as tapes, so a single
Device will block until each individual job to it is finished.
I'm a little unclear on what new sections I need though, presumable a
number of 'Device {}' sections in bacula-sd.conf (or one per job if I
absolutely want to be able to do concurrent backups of any combination of
jobs, right?), but do these need to have unique Names, Media Types, and do
I need one new 'Storage {}' section for each of these in bacula-dir.conf?
Can these have the same keys for communication?
Or am I off base and can I just add new 'Archive Device' lines in the
Device {} section of bacula-sd.conf instead and create symlinks to the
directory I'm backing up in?
BTW, a number of my questions regarding using VSS, OpenSSL encryption and
rescue CDs has gone unanswered, does noone have experience with these or
have I offended someone? I'm trying to Google and read the manual as much
as possible before giving up and posing the question here, if the answers

Please use the label command to create a new Volume for:

The last bit is repeated after 1, 2 and 4 hours.
I had a single Vol_foo_full volume which was 11 GB (lots of
full/incremental backups before changing max size/duration/retention
settings) which changed to 0 bytes during the above.
I will of course label at least one new volume, but out of curiosity, when,
if ever, will the single volume I have now be recycled and reused? Was it
blocked because of the 1 byte limit I set yesterday and should it work
during the backup tonight? (or after 16 hours, whichever comes first)
Couple more questions:
- why does the job output say 2 files were deleted from the catalog when
there were many thousands of files (in dozens of jobs) in the volume (and
catalog) already?
- how do I change the Volume's 'Error' status to 'Append' again? (will a
manual cancel job do it for example?)
- how do I make sure such an error does not block any other backups without
resorting to parallel backups and/or autolabeling?
- if this job runs OK tonight the other jobs that are waiting behind it
(scheduled to be run at the same time once a day) will presumably run, but
will they run again immediately due to the schedule? Or if they take a few
minutes, will passing the scheduled time mean they are not executed?

[Bacula-users] Can Bacula-rescue 2.2.6 Knoppix use OpenSSL?
If I sent an empty mail previously my apologies, pushed the wrong button. Since I'm working with remote machines I'm looking at the Knoppix CD with ISO image creation instead of the generic Linux one which seems to want to burn a physical disc. The documentation of bacula-rescue says not to use OpenSSL when building the Linux rescue CD, is this also the case for the Knoppix based image? If so, then since my backups are encrypted with OpenSSL, is it even possible to use a rescue CD to restore? ___ Want ideas for reducing your carbon footprint? Visit Yahoo!

[Bacula-users] How to use VSS to backup registry
Hi, for a Windows 2003 agent I see various lines with VSS Writer (BackupComplete) and System Writer, Event Log Writer, Registry Writer, MSDEWriter, WMI Writer, BITS Writer and COM+ REGDB Writer in them, all followed by State: 0x1 (VSS_WS_STABLE). However for FD/SD bytes written I see 0, so the entire (incremental) backup didn't backup anything. This to me indicates that VSS is available but not used. How do I explicitly use VSS to actually back up the contents of the registry or Event Log for example? And how do I restore them, are they separate special files in the backup or similar? ___ Yahoo!

here I have to fake the -f entry or my host.com refuses the mail, while
another recipient has no problems with nonexistent info behind -f).
If they do deliver, then the comma separated list I gave you should work,
doublecheck the entry. If all else fails, you might also try using a single
(local) address and have a .forward with procmail actually sending it to
two or more addresses. Or you could use some other mailer instead of bsmtp,
although I doubt that's the problem.

I answered this one, multiple comma separated addresses worked for me. If
that doesn't work for you (after checking the syntax again), you might want
to try running the bsmtp util manually to try if the mail is delivered at
all, and then perhaps another util like sendmail, nullmailer or whatever to
check why not.
I tried from a shell (and it worked):
/sbin/bsmtp -h your.smtp.server -f (Bacula) [EMAIL PROTECTED] -s
Bacula test message [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] foo.txt
(where foo.txt contains the message body) If this doesn't work for you
either your.smtp.server or host.com might be rejecting mail based on
headers (what you put behind -f for example).

I would like to restore to a different machine (e.g. a network mount relative to the director). How do you specify this? You specify the old client when you start the restore command from bconsole. This will then have you mark the files you want to restore. After this you issue the mod command and then change the client to the new client. Aha, I somehow missed the option to change the restore client. However, after trying that: it fails with either complaints about the path (trying to restore a file backed up from a Windows client to a Linux client) Error: Cannot create directory /mnt/bacula/restores/c:: ERR=No such file or directory) or Error: Missing private key required to decrypt encrypted backup data. The former can probably be worked around by using a Windows client to restore to, which I have not tried yet. I did run into a problem using pathnames restoring from/to the same client though: The way it's described in the manual doesn't work properly (only allows restore of single files), need to use forward slashes and lower case drive letters, so instead of File = C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\My Documents\\Bacula, File = c:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/My Documents/Bacula To fix the encryption thing I tried copying the client's .pem, .key and .cert files to /etc/bacula/ on the director (which also runs the storage daemon) but to no avail, same error message. The subdirs and file are created, but the file has size 0. It also complains about not being able to set permissions for all the subdirs and files it tries to create although all daemons have as group bacula (restoring to a Samba mount, but /mnt/bacula also has group bacula). All permissions are correct as far as I can see (writable by group etc.). Also, lsmark doesn't show files unless you are in the directory the files were marked in.
