Re: [Bacula-users] Restoring to different host
A full solution would be to write an selinux policy, either on your own (search for Dan Walsh, he has some excellent selinux troubleshooting guides) or by opening a bug report with RedHat.

Re: [Bacula-users] New to Bacula - emergency situation.
I don't have time for the complete answer it sounds like you need, but I can at least point you in the right direction. Roughly what you need to do is use 'list media' to find the oldest volume - ie, the one that was written to least recently. You can then use the 'delete' command in bconsole to wipe all records of that volume from the catalog, and then safely delete the volume file from disk. A few words of warning! * Don't be too quick to blindly delete that volume - it may not actually be a problem. Depending on how retention and volume recycling is set up, bacula may be configured to just automatically re-use the oldest volume whenever it needs a new one. If this is the case, bacula should be using just about all space made available to it, and you should expect said usage to remain constant +/- one volume. * Read the chapters on pruning and recycling. No, really. Unless you understand those chapters, you won't know what to expect from bacula, and you won't know if any changes you make to your configuration are going to help or hurt. * File retention only controls retention of records in the catalog database, not storage of files within volumes on disk (see above chapters). * You can't reduce the size of a volume, or partially recycle a volume (see above chapters). * Be aware that unless you carefully dig into which volume contains the last full backup of each client, you may be leaving some of your files without any backups on disk when you delete that oldest volume! If your oldest volumes contain the only copy of some files, this is not an easy one to get around. If you can live without a backup of those files for a brief time, the easiest solution is delete the volumes as listed above, and then let the backups run for each client. If there are any such gaps, bacula will automatically detect them based on the catalog, and promote backups as necessary (incremental to differential or full) to ensure that all files are covered. * Unless you properly set up the volume parameters, bacula will most likely just create more volumes and re-use that disk space. Most likely you will want to configure the maximum volume size and maximum number of auto-created volumes to set an upper limit on the disk space that bacula will use. * This may seem obvious, but you should also total up the data sets you need backed up, and take into account data change frequency and your retention requirements, and compare that with the amount of disk space you have available for backups. Long term, it may be that you really do need more space to hold you backups - but at least then you'll need some hard data to illustrate that need.

Re: [Bacula-users] Some questions about bacula
On 2/18/2011 2:15 PM, Mike Hobbs wrote: Hello, I'm a very new Bacula user and am looking for a little help. My experience for the past 10+ years has been with Amanda and Retrospect and I've finally had enough of both (especially Retrospect) and I'm looking to convert to Bacula. I've download the Bacula source and built in on Red Hat 5.5 x64. I'm also trying to move to a disk-based backup solution and I'm using a Promise Technologies VessJBOD 16-bay populated (or will be) with 16x 2tb hard drives. Without editing the config files to much I have done successful backups and restores of both Linux and Windows machines. So far so good. I have to say disk based backups and restores are FAST! Sounds like you're off to a good start so far =) Some questions I have now that I'm ready to start customizing Bacula more for my environment. 1) Bacula, like Amanda, needs to be told what machine and file systems to be backed up. I understand that you add clients (jobs) to the bacula-dir.conf file. This would be fine if I had only a few clients. What do I do when I need to add 50 or 100 clients? Is there a way to auto-generate the list of machines and file systems to be backed up every night? On Amanda one of the programmers on staff wrote me a script that basically pings all the clients and looks at them to see what file systems are mounted, then it generates the Amanda disklist file based on what it finds. This is good because if a user decided to change the name of a file system and doesn't tell us, the script will see it and add the new file system to the list and we don't have to worry about editing the disklist file manually.. Is there some way to do this with Bacula? I hope I made sense here. Yes, absolutely. You can set up the director config to include the output of an arbitrary script at any point in the config file: http://bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Customizing_Configuration_F.html#SECTION001723000 2) Here is a quote from an email of what one of my co-workers would like to do with bacula, I believe this is doable using Pools but if someone could point me in the right direction. If we do a setup similar to Retrospect, then we want two sets of equal size. It should do each set for 6 weeks and it should continue doing incrementals for the first set while it's transferring over to the next set and doing level0s - assuming this is supported by bacula. At any time, we always have at least 6 weeks of backups but most times, we'll have something between 6-12 weeks. I'm not at all familiar with Retrospect, but I'd be careful you don't try to recreate Retrospect in Bacula, rather than making sure you're meeting your goals. In this case, it looks like you're trying to ensure that any data stored on tape is kept for a minimum of 6 weeks, correct? If so, you can do that with a single pool by setting up your retention periods properly. I'd advise you to read the chapters on retention periods very carefully, as they're easy to get tripped up on. 3) As I mentioned I have JBod unit with 16x 2tb drives. I'm thinking 8 drives for the first set and the other 8 drives for the second set. If the about example of what my coworker wants to do is allowed with bacula. How many volumes would I want to create per drive? And what would be the max size? I read a thread on the bacula-mailing list, someone said you want 10-100 volumes per disk. I'm not sure what would be the best way to determine how many volumes I will need. Again, you'll probably be fine with a single pool and the right retention periods. One factor to be aware of, though, is that when Bacula recycles a volume, it recycles everything on that volume all at once - all jobs and all files on it are wiped from the database, and subject to being overwitten. As a result, you don't want gigantic volumes, which would make recycling too coarse. A typical recommendation is around 10-50 gigs, depending on your backup needs. I'm sorry if these questions have been asked already or if I left out any information.. I did search the list for a little while without finding any results. I guess I'm looking for some kind of disk-based backup strategy for about 100 Linux machines with the possible addition of another 100 Windows machines in the future.

Oh, and don't forget EFS partition tables, too, not to mention trying to restore on equivalent devices (same capacity, different geometry), restoring on larger devices, restore a backup taken on 512 sector disks onto a 4k sector disk... And all of said logic would have to fit and work on a recovery disk. This really is not a simple problem. Believe me on this. Indeed. While it would be great if this were to appear, it would almost certainly be a pretty sizeable subproject on its own, with substantial upkeep as new technologies appear.

If I turn off Accurate, backups proceed fine, but with accurate on, mysqladmin processlist will eventually show this query taking hours (or perhaps days, I haven't waited that long): The best way to get more data about what's going on is to use the 'explain' mysql command.

Then, run the query manually, but prefixed with the 'explain' command: explain SELECT Path.Path, Filename.Name, ... This should give you more data about exactly how mysql is going about executing the query, which should hopefully in turn point to why it's taking so ridiculously long and how that might be fixed. -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu | For every problem, there is a solution that WPI Senior Network Engineer | is simple, elegant, and wrong. - HL Mencken GPG fingerprint = 6174 1257 129E 0D21 D8D4 E8A3 8E39 29E3 E2E8 8CEC -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

There's no guarantee that any two files on a system were intended to be looked at with the same encoding.

Part of the requirement is to offer some automated testing of the data (ie backup live data, restore to alternative system, re-insert data into a separate integration database, run some known commands, etc). All of this is pretty simple stuff, however was thinking whether I could integrate this somewhat, by using a separate Verify Job followed by a *Run after Job* script. This script could then use Python and the Bacula-Python hooks to run a restore job and then the rest of the required tests. However, have not used the Bacula-Python side of things before and after hunting about, the only docs I have found are the *Python Scripting* chapter in the concepts and dev-manual.

Kern Sibbald wrote: If you do it by reinstalling the OS from normal distro media, then you can also reinstall Bacula from rpms on a CD. As mentioned above, the binaries are not necessarily the most critical part unless perhaps you have applied a number of critical patches. The most important parts are your Director's conf file, your catalog, and shortly any special plugins, but as time goes by, there are more and more little pieces that are important. By saving everything in one wack, you are sure you did not miss anything. Perhaps a reasonable compromise might be to ensure that, as part of the packaging process, a bootstrap job is created? For example, this might be as simple as a separate config file (call it bootstrap.inc, for example), containing just a fileset definition. The default director config could then ship with a pre-canned job that includes that file for the fileset definition. As other files are added to the list of what's required to bootstrap, the package maintainer just has to add the appropriate directories and files to the bootstrap.inc file. That way, the admin can simply use the bootstrap job, and know that the installation package will ensure it's always backing up the correct set up files without keeping them in one FHS-unfriendly directory. -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu | For every problem, there is a solution that WPI Senior Network Engineer | is simple, elegant, and wrong. - HL Mencken GPG fingerprint = 6174 1257 129E 0D21 D8D4 E8A3 8E39 29E3 E2E8 8CEC - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Has anybody found a method of tape rotation in and out of the library that doesn't involve shutting bacula down? This is kind of a big deal as most backup. I have the same library here, and I've often added and removed tapes without shutting down the sd - you just have to make sure that no jobs are running, and bacula has unmounted the volumes.

Alternatively is is possible to mount a bacula file volume as a filesystem (with fuse for example)? The simple answer is no, that's not something Bacula can do on it's own (or any other backup system I know of, for that matter). What you could do, though, is create a script that makes a copy of your data to a staging area and modifies the data there. You could easily create a Bacula job that would call this script before each backup run, and have it backup the staging area instead of the original data. -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu | For every problem, there is a solution that WPI Senior Network Engineer | is simple, elegant, and wrong. - HL Mencken GPG fingerprint = 6174 1257 129E 0D21 D8D4 E8A3 8E39 29E3 E2E8 8CEC - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Also if I know exactly what job and which dir I want recovered do I have to wait for the cataloging? Can I request the dir directly somehow? Older versions were known to sometimes take a very long time to set up restore trees. It may actually be faster to cancel the current restore, and upgrade to the latest version (2.2.8) and try again.

Re: [Bacula-users] MySQL Errors being logged
James Harper wrote: I've been using bacula on a Xen server for many months with no problems at all. A week ago I set up some jobs to run concurrently to the existing jobs to back up some remote clients to a remote sd. Since then, jobs aren't completing and are hanging around and things are just not running well, although I think the jobs ran okay for the first few nights. I upgraded bacula from Debian's 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 around the same time, remembering that there was a critical bug in Bacula releases around that time. This was probably a bit foolish in retrospect - I should have let 2.2.6 run for a bit before introducing the new jobs. I think the cause may be being indicated by the following messages being logged: 03-Feb 23:24 bitvs1-dir JobId 2104: Fatal error: sql_create.c:732 sql_create.c:732 insert INSERT INTO batch VALUES (234440,2104,'/usr/local/src/linux-2.6-2.6.18.dfsg.1/arch/powerpc/sysdev /','mmio_nvram.c','P0A BVJx1 IGg B Po Po A sk BAA I BHoxp9 BFELiO BHoxqG A A E','LwUL7mrqTpsgiK8bTaPM5A') failed: Incorrect key file for table '/tmp/#sqle43_153_0.MYI'; try to repair it 03-Feb 23:24 bitvs1-dir JobId 2104: Fatal error: catreq.c:482 Attribute create error. Pool record not found in Catalog. This is actually fairly concerning. Normally, in the case of MySQL declaring a table is corrupt, I'd suggest that you just repair the table and move on. In this case, though, the table that's corrupt is the batch table. This is just a temporary table, which normally shouldn't even be hanging around long enough to get a chance to be corrupted, which means that something is hitting it really quick. The first thing I'd check is to make sure that the partition holding /tmp isn't running out of space. If it is, either tell MySQL to use a different directory with more space, or increase the amount of space allocated to /tmp. Beyond that, I'd check through your kernel logs to make sure that there aren't any filesystem or hard drive errors popping up. Just to make one thing clear, though - this is almost certainly not a Bacula problem. All that Bacula ever does is fire off standard SQL queries at the server, which (barring some catastrophic but in MySQL) should never be able to produce a corrupt table. -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu | For every problem, there is a solution that WPI Senior Network Engineer | is simple, elegant, and wrong. - HL Mencken GPG fingerprint = 6174 1257 129E 0D21 D8D4 E8A3 8E39 29E3 E2E8 8CEC - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Okay, so your current scenario is: - you lost a server which was being backed up by Bacula - you have reinstalled a new debian system to replace it, but want to recover data from the original - someone else set up Bacula originally - you're fairly new to Bacula Is this correct? If so, here's what I would suggest doing. - configure networking on the new machine - configure Bacula on it also - on the server, launch bconsole and use the restore command This should allow you to get back any data that was backed up from the original server.

Is it possible for me to setup the director and storage and file daemons to talk to each other on say eth0 (10.0.0.xx). I want to specify an IP or network device to then actually do the copy over (E.g. eth1 192.168.x.x) ? E.g. Lets say we have 3 servers. A director, a client and a storage server. I want to get the client to backup to the storage server. All 3 servers can talk to each other over eth0 (10.0.0.xx) network. But the client and storage server have a crossover cable connecting them (eth1). I want Bacula director to physically transfer the data between the client and storage server over that crossover cable (eth1). Can this be done presently ? or do I need to submit it as a feature request. Currently, the best way to do this would be to tweak the IP address each hosts resolves the name of the storage server to. You can do this either using DNS views, or by adding entries to /etc/hosts file. This way, the director resolves the sd hostname to the 10 net address, but the client resolves the hostname to the 192 address and uses that connection instead. -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu | For every problem, there is a solution that WPI Senior Network Engineer | is simple, elegant, and wrong. - HL Mencken GPG fingerprint = 6174 1257 129E 0D21 D8D4 E8A3 8E39 29E3 E2E8 8CEC - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

I have seen bacula is able to use tls connection and tcp-wrappers. Is this solution strong enough ? Strong-enough is hard to define. It is at least as strong as https, which is used for many things, including financial transactions. Is there a more secure solution ? None easily available. Security is a trade off between risk and convenience. It's secure enough for what I do. I can't tell you if it's secure enough for what you do. Only you can decide that. It is possible to use ssh tunnel, but it is really painfull to administrate on a large number of machines. TLS will be at least as secure as ssh. http://openvpn.net is your friend in a time of need.of security, that is. It's worth noting here that openvpn, ssh, and Bacula all use the exact same crypto library (openssl) under the hood to handle encryption. -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu | For every problem, there is a solution that WPI Senior Network Engineer | is simple, elegant, and wrong. - HL Mencken GPG fingerprint = 6174 1257 129E 0D21 D8D4 E8A3 8E39 29E3 E2E8 8CEC - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Bacula-users] How to do network based off-site backups??
Larry Ludwig wrote: Hi we are use bacula for our backups. So far I like all of it's features and how it performs. More research into the Migrate function and will not work the way it's currently implemented (2.2.6) We currently have a large NAS server which we backup all servers to on a nightly basis. No tape library is installed. We would like to use the Migrate function to move data off site via a VPN to another location after a specific age. At our other data center we also have a large NAS server. The issue is this which appears in the online docs: http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Migration.html Migration is only implemented for a single Storage daemon. You cannot read on one Storage daemon and write on another. I tried it and sure enough it doesn't work. All jobs get into a waiting state. Since the other storage daemon is on another server located at our other data center, which means a seperate storage daemon, this then makes Migration function useless for what we would like to do. FYI to the developers this feature then makes the migrate function very limited. I would be curious why it was implemented this way. My question is how then can we implement off site backups via a network transfer. use rsync to move the existing bacula pool files?? Ideally I would like to do it directly within bacula. Is there a method to do this within bacula? I don't think there currently exists any good method within Bacula. Your best bet is probably to rsync the backup files for now. I would suggest triggering an rsync (or other copy protocol) from a post job script. If you wanted to get a little fancier, you could set up a job on the remote end that bscan's the volumes into a separate director and catalog. Also, there's rumored to be a new version coming up in the next few months, if everything goes to plan. Typically kern puts out a request for voting on new features, so keep an eye out to put your vote in for SD to SD migration. -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu | For every problem, there is a solution that WPI Senior Network Engineer | is simple, elegant, and wrong. - HL Mencken GPG fingerprint = 6174 1257 129E 0D21 D8D4 E8A3 8E39 29E3 E2E8 8CEC - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Can i enable TLS without 'client' (fd) certificate, but only 'server' (dir) certificates, as usually done by SSL/TLS apps/protocols (https, ldaps, ...)? No, since from an SSL perspective, all of the bacula daemons end up acting as both client and server.

Re: [Bacula-users] admin jobs
Lucio Crusca wrote: Hello *, Bacula 2.0.3/Debian here, using DVD and full/month+diff/week+incr/day schedule. In order to always have the full backup on a single media, I need to set the volume status as Full before the next 1st monday of each month. Now I guess there could be at least two ways to do that: 1. set the Volume Use Duration to 1 month 2. run an admin job before the full backup that sets the current volume status to Full and mails the operator asking for a new media. SInce 1 month is likely to be different from until next 1st mon at 10:00, and since the manual says that Volume Use Duration wants a time-period-specification, which is quite hard to adapt to the time remaining before the next full backup, I suspect that the way to go is 2. However the only way I know to change the volume status is the update volume command in bconsole. Is there a way to run that command from a shell script or inside an admin job? It's pretty straightforward to pipe commands to bconsole: http://bacula.org/rel-manual/Bacula_Console.html#SECTION00218 -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu | For every problem, there is a solution that WPI Senior Network Engineer | is simple, elegant, and wrong. - HL Mencken GPG fingerprint = 6174 1257 129E 0D21 D8D4 E8A3 8E39 29E3 E2E8 8CEC - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
