[Bacula-users] Bacula web site All Files link broken
Hi There, FYI bacula.org webmaster. The bacula home page link for All Files which is links to: http://download.sourceforge.net/bacula appears to be broken: Not Found The requested URL /bacula was not found on this server. Apache/2.0.55 (Unix) PHP/5.0.5 Server at download.sourceforge.net Port 80 In the meantime can anyone suggest where I might be able to get tarballs of older versions of bacula - in particular 1.34.5 ? On the All Files section of the bacula download page on sourceforge, the only 1.34 version I can see is 1.34.6 Jason -- Why work smarter when you can work harder? --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Bacula-users] Scheduling problem - schedules loaded but jobs won't queue (though they will run if fired manually)
Hi All,
I a have a problem with scheduling - specifically jobs I think should
be getting queued are not.
The story is this I have two exernal USB disks, which are mounted on
different mount points, and I want to fire off jobs so that for one week
we do a full backup and a set of diffs to one disk and on another week
we do a full backup and a set of diffs to the other disk.
The idea is that we will eventaully keep some offsite.
I can see the schedules in bconsole if I do a show schedules, but the
jobs don't get queued.
If I do a manual run of a job, the work, so I am fairly confident that
pretty much every thign about the jobs is correct - except the scheduling.
Below are a date and a cal ouput from my baculsa director host for
reference and below that the two schdules from bacula-dir.conf as well
as an the default jobs defs and an example job.
Below those is a bcsonsole status dir showing none of the jobs queued
and a show schedules.
Please not the bottom five chedules were orignally the top fvie
schedules but these work so are not very interesting in the context of
the problem, so I've moved them to the bottom
Bacula version is 1.34.5.
I'd really appreciate it if any one could make any suggestions as to
what is going on (or more correctly not going on) and any suggestiosn
for further diagnosis or fix.
Regards and Thanks
Jason

Re: [Bacula-users] MySQL Structure question (1.36.*)
Rushowr wrote: Anyone have a rundown of the relationships that bacula uses between tables in the mysql db? I'm trying to manually track down a file and ALL jobs within a date range that saved it, but the database is so spread out, it would be beautiful if I could come across this. I could have sworn I saw it online, but can't find it, and the PDF of documentation doesn't have it either.. Thanks to any who can help. (A SQL query that would find file FINDMEX.sql and all jobs that saved that file in the date range STARTDATE to ENDDATE would be even more awesome). It used to be in the manual. In a version of the HTML manual for version 1.34.5 there is a page called catalog.html, which I can';t find in the current online manual (at least not by looking at likely contents entries and then checking. This page has some description of the db schema. Since I can not make the docs I have public, I've just pasted the page contents into this email. Apologies for the HTML. Hope this helps.

The *Bacula Catalog* services consist of the programs that provide the SQL database engine for storage and retrieval of all information concerning files that were backed up and their locations on the storage media. We have investigated the possibility of using the following SQL engines for Bacula: Beagle, mSQL, GNU SQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle, and MySQL. Each presents certain problems with either licensing or maturity. At present, we have chosen for development purposes to use MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite. MySQL was chosen because it is fast, proven to be reliable, widely used, and actively being developed. MySQL is released under the GNU GPL license. PostgreSQL was chosen because it is a full-featured, very mature database, and because Dan Langille did the Bacula driver for it. PostgreSQL is distributed under the BSD license. SQLite was chosen because it is small, efficient, and can be directly embedded in *Bacula* thus requiring much less effort from the system administrator or person building *Bacula*. In our testing SQLite has performed very well, and for the functions that we use, it has never encountered any errors except that it does not appear to handle databases larger than 2GBytes. The Bacula SQL code has been written in a manner that will allow it to be easily modified to support any of the current SQL database systems on the market (for example: mSQL, iODBC, unixODBC, Solid, OpenLink ODBC, EasySoft ODBC, InterBase, Oracle8, Oracle7, and DB2). If you do not specify either *--with-mysql* or *--with-postgresql* or *--with-sqlite* on the ./configure line, Bacula will use its minimalist internal database. This database is kept for build reasons but is no longer supported. Bacula *requires* one of the three databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite) to run. Filenames and Maximum Filename Length In general, either MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite permit storing arbitrary long path names and file names in the catalog database. In practice, there still may be one or two places in the Catalog interface code that restrict the maximum path length to 512 characters and the maximum file name length to 512 characters. These restrictions are believed to have been removed. Please note, these restrictions apply only to the Catalog database and thus to your ability to list online the files saved during any job. All information received and stored by the Storage daemon (normally on tape) allows and handles arbitrarily long path and filenames.

[Bacula-users] File based backups
Hi All, I'm wondering if anyone who uses file based backups (instead of tapes) could tell me if the volumes for their files get VolumeBytes, VolumeFiles and LastWritten recorded. My catalog shows 11 jobs on Volume BaculaQuickFile-0001 (ie Volume Id 50). However these is apparently no data and no files recorded on the Volume in the catalog (at least not that part of the catalog that bconsole displays). In addition a file listing shows the volume to have been written to the tune of about 2.3G. What I am trrying to do is get backups working on a pair of remoavvable USB disks. The data gets written to the volume, but the volume never changes, despite the fact that Max Volumes Jobs for the pool is exceeded and other labelled volumes exist in the pool. I also get an error listed below, about an Invalid Catalog Request. I'm not sure how to interpret this other than quick's sd cant write to radio's sd. However it is possible to open a socket from quick to radio:9101 which is what I assume is required for quick's sd to communicate with radio's dir. Various data below. Has any one had a similar experience? Can anyone suggest what the issue might be or where I might look for more info. The bacula log bascially doesn't containt anything over and above the messages I get via mail or bconsole. Regards and thanks for reading this far.
