I appreciate that I can do that, but it seems like having to create a mass

Once you edit your fileset you should be left only with important

Are junction points the only unimportant warnings?

I know this because I disabled the autochanger function and made it a straight tape drive for testing. I have gone through everything concerning this unit in the mailing list. Everyone says it works, but I am unable to get it to work with the autochanger. Also, I noticed that when it starts a backup if I have a tape in the drive, it takes the tape out and cannot find the tape. I then get the error above. I want to backup to the tape until it is full. This is for a one time backup I perform weekly. I just want to append to the tape until I need to send the tape offsite at the beginning of the month. Then I will start with a fresh tape.

The mailslot issue is that the mailslot isn't exposed on the scsi interface.

[Bacula-users] restores from backups that were creted with bpipe?
I have been kicking the tires with bacula-2.5.28-b1 and the bpipe
backups seem to be a very nice addition.I have been able to backup
data directly from mysql.
My issue is I would like to restore the data in the same manor and I
haven't been able to pull it off.
The restores currently write the file back to the file system instead of
calling mysql.
This is the file set that I am using for my test.
FileSet {
Name = MYSQL-BPIPE-TEST
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
}
Plugin =
bpipe:/bpipe/MYSQL-DUMP-ALL-DATABASES.sql:/usr/bin/mysqldump
--max_allowed_packet=32M -f --all-databases -u MYSQL_USER
--password=MYSQL_PASSWORD:/usr/bin/mysql -u MYSQL_USER
--password=MYSQL_PASSWORD --one-database test
}
}
In the restore I edit the restore job to use this fileset and it doesn't
seem to use the plugin but just places the MYSQL-DUMP-ALL-DATABASES.sql
on the file system.
Idea's of what to test would be appreciated. This is not a production
issue, just something that I am attempting to play with.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula-web - Error query: 4
Nico, I don't know how many people are using bacula-web, nor at what level it is supported. My understanding is that for a GUI the development is being done on BAT. Most people use bconsole to manage bacula. I would suggest making it work then play with the GUI's.

SYSTEM : Power edge 2650.
CPU - 1
RAM - 4GB.
OS - SLES 9 SP3.
Bacula - 2.2.7.
Tape Drive - SCSI LVD Ultrium LTO 3 Autchanger.

Maximum writing speed with bacula - 7.8 Megabytes/second.
Maximum Writing speed with vdump and 1024 block size - 32
Megabytes/second.
The tape library device - /dev/sg1
The tape drive - /dev/sg0( But we use /dev/nst0 for taking backup )
The Autochanger company claims the following speed of writing.
Data Transfer Rate (native): 80 MBps ( 22.8 GBph )
Data Transfer Rate (compressed): 160 MBps ( 45.5 GBph )
I feel the above is in Megabits/sec? am I correct, please tell me if
anybody is sure on this. As I get a speed of 7.8 Megabytes / sec with
compression and without compression.
The whole bacula set up works fine with our environment, like Storage
daemon,file daemon etc. And the backup process is absolutely fine except
for the speed.
I have changed the daisy chain scsi cable 3 times. No improvement in
speed.
I have tried changing the terminator also today. The same speed results.
The funny thing is I tried without terminator also and everything works
fine with same speed.
I have tried with enabling spooling ( no raid ). The spooling speed
differs from 2 Megabytes/sec to 100 Megabytes/sec but the despooling
speed lies exactly at 7.8 megabytes/second.
The despooling speed is at 7.8 Megabytes/sec for local file system,
mounted file system(tru 64 filesystem mountes in bacula server ) and any
file system of bacula client .
Does anyone find anything fishy Kindly help...
The config iam using are attached.

Hello John,
Many Thanks .
I have tested the raw drive speed with vdump and bs=1024, The drive
speed is around 35MB/s during vdump.
The tape drive is SCSI LVD.I had tried replacing the cable twice.but no
improvement in speed through bacula.
Does a spool file on raid0 increases the despooling speed significantly.
Because my spooling directory is /var/backup and it is not raided and no
spool size limit is set.
We use a single processor machine with 4 GB memory and the spool folder
is ext3.
Is your despooling speed with Compression or not? Either software or
hardware compression?
Thanks Regards,

We have a LTO-3 Ultrium Tape Library.Bacula 2.2.7 is implemented in

9.
The despooling speed to the tape is 7.8 MB/sec always, even with
hardware compression and no hardware compression.
Is your tape drive scsi? Possiblty the problem is a scsi problem.
You can test raw drive speeds with dd something like:
time dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/nst0 bs=1G count=10
If you have hardware compression on do not use /dev/zero because you
will get a very unrealistic result.
Is it possible to increase the despooling speed.
I get despooling speeds of 30 to 45MB/s on a LTO2 autochanger when
using a 2GB spool file. My spool folder is currently on its own xfs
filesystem and using software raid0. My bacula-sd machine (different
machine from the director) is a 2 processor opteron 248 with 4GB of

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula support Quantum SuperLoader 3 LT0-3 ?
The LTO-3 version of this drive works well under bacula. The supperload is not the fastest at changing tapes (About a minute) but as bacula does this in the middle of the night without you, thus it's not a big deal. The 1/2 height LTO-3 drive that's inside my Superloader 3 is not as fast as the full height one in our HP MSL6030, but it was is also much less expensive. I had the Superloader 3 doing backups of ~50MB/sec vs ~90MB/sec with the HP. For the most part this is faster than many of our disks will stream the data. The mail slot issue is anonoying but shouldn't be a show stopper. It is just used for removing a tape for off site storage. With most libraries you can use mtx to kick the off site tape to the mail slot, then have bacula update slots drive=0 barcode. Without mtx you will have to think some more as you wil have to do this by your self. Pick the tape and ejected it via the webpage or the front panel then update the bacula inventory. The library has an Ethernet port and an embedded web server. The embedded web server lets you see what's going on with the library configure the auto cleaning and you can use it to eject a tape to the mail slot. -Jason On Tue, 2007-12-18 at 14:59 -0800, Nils Blanck-Wehde wrote: Hello Everyone!

[Bacula-users] Issue with tape logic?
Has anybody had this issue where the auto changer is looking for the
same tape in two drives?
This is part of a normal backup.
Bacula Version: 2.2.6 (10 November 2007) x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu redhat
Enterprise release.
Normaly each drive would be using different tapes
Autochanger Autochanger with devices:
Drive-1 (/dev/nst0)
Drive-2 (/dev/nst1)
Device Drive-1 (/dev/nst0) is not open.
Device is BLOCKED waiting for mount of volume JX2027L3,
Pool:Daily
Media type: LTO-3
Drive 0 is not loaded.
Device Drive-2 (/dev/nst1) is mounted with:
Volume: JX2027L3
Pool:Daily
Media type: LTO-3
Slot 7 is loaded in drive 1.
Total Bytes=496,623,458,304 Blocks=473,636 Bytes/block=1,048,534
Positioned at File=498 Block=344
This is is my default Job:
JobDefs {
Name = DefaultJob
Type = Backup
Level = Differential
Client = defaultclient
FileSet = LINUX_ALL_LOCAL_FS
Schedule = WeeklyCycle
Storage = Autochanger
Messages = Standard
Pool = Daily
SpoolData=no
Spool Attributes = yes
Priority = 20
Prefer Mounted Volumes = no
Write Bootstrap = /var/spool/bacula/working/%c_%n_%l.bsr
}
Each of the jobs look like this:
Job {
Name = fqdn
JobDefs = DefaultJob
Client = fqdn
}
Any insight to why this is acting this way and how to avoid it would be
appreciated.
Thanks -Jason

Re: [Bacula-users] LTO4 backup rates
I have a new LTO-4 library and LTO-3 tapes. I have changed the buffers around and I am using a 1MB block size. The best I have been able to get on a single client backup is 89MB/sec on a ~300GB backup to a LTO-3 tape. I found that most of my clients max out at 25MB/sec.

Re: [Bacula-users] scratch pool usage (Cannot find any appendable volumes)
You need to have a different pool to do your backup in. The Scratch pool is a special pool that the other pools go to when they are out of media. I have 3 pools a Scratch, Weekly and Daily pool. All new tapes are put into the Scratch pool then backups are done in the Weekly and Daily pool. As tapes are needed they are pulled from the Scratch pool.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula support Quantum SuperLoader 3 LT0-3 ?
This tape drive works with bacula, but the mail slot is only usable via the web interface, not controllable via the scsi interface at all. You will have to use the web interface or the front panel to eject tapes. -Jason On Fri, 2007-11-23 at 09:55 -0500, Miguel Angel wrote: Hi list!
