Re: [Bacula-users] Problems getting Bacula to backup Windows Client
What kind of firewall you have in the windows client? No firewall Can you ping jerome from the command prompt of that machine? Yes. I can run the bwx-console and connect o the director on Jerome from the Windows Client. Can you telnet jerome 9103 from the command prompt of that machine? If the telnet just hangs there it might have a connection, but if it says connection refused there is a problem. Yes I can telnet to port 9103 on Jerome Do you have own DNS in your LAN? Or are the hosts names in some hosts files? The hosts machines are in host tables but not in DNS as this is a private network behind a firewall. The units are all on the same network and switch. -- http://www.iki.fi/jarif/ You will get what you deserve. John J. Boris, Sr. JEN-A-SyS Administrator Archdiocese of Philadelphia Remember!

[Bacula-users] Confusion in setting up Bacula to Windows Clients
I had to rebuild my Bacula setup here and lost all of my setups.
Currently I am trying to get the Windows client to talk to my Bacula on
my RHEL 5 setup. Looking at the manual I can't wrap my head around the
configuration. In my director I have this setup:
Client {
Name = John
Address = 172.31.6.95
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = XX2 # password for FileDaemon 2
File Retention = 30 days# 30 days
Job Retention = 6 months# six months
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}
on the Windows machine I have
# List Directors who are permitted to contact this File daemon
#
Director {
Name = jerome-dir
Password = @client_password@
}
#
# Restricted Director, used by tray-monitor to get the
# status of the file daemon
#
Director {
Name = jen-a-sys2-mon
Password = Y
Monitor = yes
When I try to find the status using bconsole it keeps telling me that
it can't connect to the client here is the error message:
Connecting to Client John at 172.31.6.95:9102
Failed to connect to Client John.

for help.
Any help or pointer to an explanation would be appreciated.

That is where I think I have things confused. I tried to follow the
manual but what about the line
@client_password@
That is exactly how it is in the file. The other two are not the exact
passwords but are different. should they be the same?

Re: [Bacula-users] Confusion in setting up Bacula to Windows Clients
John, Thanks for the quick response. Also should the names match. In my director I have the Client named John but that machine has a different name. I figure the Ciient name on the server (bacula-dir.conf) is a place holder and it uses the IP address to handle the connection and sends the password.

The other two are not the exact passwords but are different. should they be the same? I believe this password should match the Client password in bacula-dir.conf. The reason I say believe is because I have not implemented rigorous security and I have all bacula passwords being the same. John -- Come build with us!

Re: [Bacula-users] Trouble installing on RHEL 5
Thanks to Ryan and Jari for the quick response. I found what I needed. The issue is the bacula rpm and scripts assume that the mysql installation doesn't require a password. I modified the scripts to prompt for the password and things proceeded just fine. I previously had an installation of bacula on this server but it was under Fedora Core. I since had moved it to RHEL because of a major failure in hardware. Now I just have to recreate things. Thanks again. John J. Boris, Sr. JEN-A-SyS Administrator Archdiocese of Philadelphia Remember!

All you have to put in your client (file daemon) configuration is the Director (Name password), and the informations about the file daemon itself (name, port, working directory, pid directory, max concurrent jobs, etc...). When you install windows client, nearly everything will be configured, you have very little things to change. I haven't found this in the documentation , or maybe I am just too dense to find it.

Re: [Bacula-users] problem with configure on FC 6
Thanks. About 5 minutes ago I found a message to that. They should change the README and INSTALL files. I installed Bacula a while back but I lost the installation when I had to rebuild the RAID array for more space. So I sort of lost the original config. Thanks again. John J.

take a look on a screenshot I send as attachment.
You should see you tape loader under the system devices. As you ca
seen in the picture mine is on /dev/sg5.
If doesn't work or if you don't have access to the harware browser
let

[Bacula-users] How can you get bacula to relabel a tape
I am trying to get bacula to relabel the tapes I have in my autochanger. They were already labeled through the label barcode command in vconsole but the labels aren't being recognized. When bacula tries to use the tape it says it can't find an appendable volume. Any ideas on this one. I issued the label barcode command thinking it would relabel the tape but I was wrong. John J.

[Bacula-users] How do I get Bacula to stop asking for Volume_0001 when that Volume was deleted from the Database?
Okay, I've asked this question a few times and I am still trying to get bacula back to a working state. I had a working configuration on Fedora Core 4, Athlon 64 bit, attached to a Dell 124T Tape library. I use Bacula to do a Master Backup once a month and incrementals the rest. This server handles disk backups from other servers and then bacula backs it up to tape. It was working fine backing up and changing tapes as they became full or somewhat full until the File System filled up. Sorry poor planning. So I cleaned up my mess and then after doing some RTFM'n about reusing tapes I did a Prune and purge and then deleted the Volumes in the database. My Intent was to start over and to force bacula to do a Full backup on the first tape. Now I get this error message. All I want to do is start over without reinstalling bacula. Can anyone point to some help on this? Thanks Error message follows. 20-Jun 03:05 jerome-dir: Client2.2006-06-10_13.05.00 Error: Bacula 1.38.5 (18Jan06): 20-Jun-2006 03:05:10 JobId: 127 Job:Client2.2006-06-10_13.05.00 Backup Level: Full (upgraded from Differential) Client: jerome-fd i686-pc-linux-gnu,redhat,(Heidelberg) FileSet:Full Set 2006-04-17 14:08:52 Pool: Default Storage:Drive-0 Scheduled time: 10-Jun-2006 13:05:00 Start time: 14-Jun-2006 20:05:08 End time: 20-Jun-2006 03:05:10 Priority: 10 FD Files Written: 0 SD Files Written: 0 FD Bytes Written: 0 SD Bytes Written: 0 Rate: 0.0 KB/s Software Compression: None Volume name(s): Volume Session Id: 2 Volume Session Time:1149866416 Last Volume Bytes: 0 Non-fatal FD errors:0 SD Errors: 0 FD termination status: Error SD termination status: Error Termination:*** Backup Error *** 20-Jun 03:05 jerome-dir: sql_find.c:126 No Job record found: ERR= CMD=SELECT StartTime FROM Job WHERE JobStatus='T' AND Type='B' AND Level='F' AND Name='Client2' AND ClientId=1 AND FileSetId=3 ORDER BY StartTime DESC LIMIT 1 20-Jun 03:05 jerome-dir: No prior or suitable Full backup found.

[Bacula-users] Bacula keeps asking for a Volume that was deleted
I am trying to start over with my backup process. I think I screwed up the Volume naming or something. When I set things up I had set the label Format to Volume_. Things ran smoothly but then Bacula started marking tapes as full when they weren't and started loading new tapes. It got to the last tape and then asked for me to load new tapes since the retention time wasn't exceeded for the other tapes in the changer. I looked an I had it set at 365 days when it should have been 30 days. So I did a purge and delete thinking that would clear the Catalog and database so I could continue on. That didn't work since it now is asking for Volume_0001 which doesn't exist since when I did a delete I remember deleting that volume from the Catalog. All of the tapes in the changer have been labeled using the btape command of using the barcodes. Can anyone shed some light on this as to how I can just tell bacula to start from scratch. Should I just do an SQl and clear out the table manually? I have searched the lists and docs and haven't found anything yet. In bconsole I did a status of the Director and I get this: Scheduled Jobs: Level Type Pri Scheduled Name Volume === Differential Backup10 09-Jun-06 13:05Client2 Volume_0001 Full Backup11 09-Jun-06 23:10BackupCatalog Volume_0001 The Volume named Volume_0001 was deleted.

[Bacula-users] Tapes marked full when they aren't
On my Dell 124-T we are using ULTRIUM 2 Tapes that should hold 400gb compressed.

Re: [Bacula-users] Backup to disk then tape
John, We do that here (Backup to disk and then to tape). We have just started using Bacula but we us it to backup to tape. I use Microlite's BackupEDGE to backup my remote Servers to disk on my main backup server. I have a network that is only used by me over night so differentials at night are a piece of cake. We have a long time invested in BackupEDGE on our SCO Servers. Then during the day I use Bacula to backup my Server that holds the nightly backups. This works fine for us. I am not a Bacula Guru but I think it would be just a matter of setting up different jobs at the right interval to do what you want. As for restores here we would first look to the on disk differentials to see if the required file is there. In case of a disaster here I would have to make a site visit to rebuild things so I would have a tape on site of the Master, then once the system is back online I would just restore the last differential. If I had to go to a previous volume that was no longer on Disk I would locate that volume in the tape library and restore that volume to disk and then restore that to my system. Before we went to this we only kept the last thirty days of data anyway so this provides us a longer recovery trail. I have had users delete something and then ask me 45 days later if I still have the file. But in those cases it was usually just a report format that could be recreated in less time than it takes to restore the file. John J.

John Gerritse [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/01/06 3:11 AM Hi all, I work in a ICT company and we are looking to replace Amanda. I figured Bacula would be te best solution, but we hit a snag. A feature my boss feels is paramount to a back-up package is write the data to disk, then to tape. Bacula does that in a way, but data spooling does only that; spooling. I need it to write to disk, then copy or migrate the data to tape. According to the documentation, that is a feature planned for the future. Unfortunately, I need it now. I've considered simply backing data up to disk volumes, then copy that to tape by other means, but I'm puzzled how a restore would work in that sort of situation. Is there a workaround someone has successfully used in the field, on production servers? Hating to have to reinvent a proverbial wheel, I figured I'd ask the community. I really love Bacula and I would love to use it in stead of giving Amanda a version bump and a fresh install on our shiny new backup server. So in short; I want backups on disk, then copy them to tape (with Bacula, other backup software, commandline script, whatever). We run a schedule much like the one explained in the manual (a daily, weekly, monthly tape usage example). Thanks in advance!

Re: [Bacula-users] Problem with an autoloader
Stefan,
Speaking as a newbie that was a bit overwhelmed when I first started
with Bacula and a bit confused about the configuration file. I am not
sure which files you started with but the ones I downloaded (I started
just a few months back) had good examples in the default conf files.
There is one there for an autochanger with two drives. If you look at
that and just change things to match your setup it should work out of
the box. I commented out the second drive designation. I am not going to
try and explain this in detail since I am still new at this but here is
my setup:
#
# An autochanger device with two drives
#
Autochanger {
Name = Autochanger
Device = Drive-0
# Device = Drive-2
Changer Command = /root/bacula/bin/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d
Changer Device = /dev/sg2
}
Device {
Name = Drive-0 #
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = LTO-2
Archive Device = /dev/nst1
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
# # Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
Alert Command = sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'
}
This is in bacual-sd.conf. The /dev stuff would go in Changer Device
and in the Archive Device. The Device= I believe is actually a label
bacula uses to find the correct device. I hope that helps.

Hi evrybody
I just install an autoloader (HP SureStore DAT24x6) on my PC but i

know how to configue bacula-sd.conf.
I had seen the tutorial but nothing run.
My current bacula-sd.conf :

Archive Device = /dev/nst0
Changer Command = /etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
Label media = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
}
I had find this configuraion in an example file in the bacula install,
but
when i want to label my tapes, i can't do.
I just have the possibility to label my autoloader (slot 0). Bacula
don't
ask me which slot i want labelling.
I think i have a wrong bacula-sd.conf ...
Is somebody run bacula with an HP-autoloader ??
Can somebody help me ?
Thanks !!!

Re: [Bacula-users] Problem with an autoloader
I am not sure since I don't know the entire History. I am using 1.38.5.
What is line 63 column 12. That should give you some clue as to what is
misconfigured. What I did when I was starting out was to go back and
read again the manual. I set aside free time where I wouldn't be
disturbed so I could read the docs through. Then run the tests line by
line as you go through the tutorial. You have to have an Autochanger
section defined that has a device = portion that points to a Device
section of the same name. Then in the Device section you have to tell it
that there is an autochanger but setting the field AutoChanger = yes.

Re: [Bacula-users] Problem with an autoloader
You have this wrong. The Device is just one unit the Tape Drive not each
slot in the autochanger. So change the line:
Device = tape1, tape2, tape3, tape4, tape5, tape6
in the Autochanger
to
Device = tape1
Then delete all of the Device sections
Device {
...
}
except the first one. Also add the Archive Device = /dev/whatevere
your tape drive is
Then try it.

Re: [Bacula-users] Autochanger suggestions..
Brett, I am using Bacula on Fedora Core 3 with the Dell 124T. It took me a while to get it working but so far it has proven to be a good buy. We got it on an Educational Pricing from Dell but it was near your budget figure. We got it with one magazine and 10 Ultrium-2 Data cartridges. We also purchased the Adaptec 39160 card to go with it. I didn't want any reason for them (Dell) to say it wasn't working because of the card. The entire package came in just under $5k. That is $1k over your budget but if you have the correct controller and the tapes you save there. I am planning on adding the other Magazine next fiscal year. If you go the Dell route make sure you upgrade the firmware on the Drive and the Loader before hassling with Bacula. The one other nice thing on the 124T is that you can upgrade the drive to an LTO-3 if you want to later. Although we are a large school district this is a small operation. The space on this device will allow me a lot of flexibility. You didn't say your OS or the amount of data so this unit may be too large or not large enough. John J.

Brett Curtis [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/24/06 11:31 AM Hi, First post to the list. I have been using bacula for a few months now. Doing basic backups to the files system. I am looking into buying an autochanger. I was wondering if folks have had any luck with the adic faststor 1? Looking at the Supported_Autochanges.html I see the adic faststor 2 but not 1. Or if folks have any recommendations on a changer to buy please let me know. We are a small company looking to spend no more then ~4000.00 USD. TIA Brett --- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

[Bacula-users] Success with PowerVault 124T
I want to thank everyone on the list especially Pierre for helping me with my setup. I was finally able to get things working here. Here is what I had to do. 1. The first hurdle was to understand bacula's configuration and this took some quiet time to RTFM. 2. My setup is: Fedora Core 3 on a Dual Athlon 64bit processor, Adaptec 39160 and Dell PowerVault 124-T with LTO-2 Drive and one magazine. 3. Load the mtx rpm for FC 3 4. Edit rc.local to get sg_mod loaded (added line modprobe sg). Other Fedora admins might know the proper way but it works for me. 5. Ran the btape test program which passed with flying colors but failed the autochanger test. 6. Ran the autochanger test separately and it passed. 7. Ran the fill command and found that this failed when it tried to change tapes. 8. After a 3 hour phone call session with Dell it turns out that the Firmware on the 124T was outdated. I got the correct file from Dell and ran the utility from the command line and updated the Drive's firmware, restarted the 124T and the server, using the Web interface upgraded the Loaders firmware and restarted the 124T and my server. 9. Edited the mtx-changer to use wait_for_device option. 10. Ran bconsole and did label barcodes Everything ran fine until the job that I had scheduled a week ago at the start kicked off and stopped the labeling process. But while I was trying to figure out what happened it had done two backups. So the firmware upgrade seems to be a must for things to work. The firmware version on the autoloader is 31.0 and the Drives firmware is version 1826. Again thanks to everyone on the list for their patience and help. John J.

[Bacula-users] Newbie Configuration Question
I am new to bacula and I am trying to configure my setup. I am running
Fedora Core 3 and using a Dell 124T. From what I can see the Dell 124T
has passed all of the tests. So now I am trying to edit the
configuration files.
In the bacula-sd.conf I have this defined:
Autochanger {
Name = Autochanger
Device = Drive-0
# Device = Drive-2
Changer Command = /root/bacula/bin/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d
Changer Device = /dev/sg2
}
Device {
Name = Drive-0 #
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = LTO-2
Archive Device = /dev/nst1
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
# # Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
Alert Command = sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'
}
In the bacula-dir.conf I have this defined:
JobDefs {
Name = MainJob
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = jerome-fd
FileSet = Full Set
Schedule = WeeklyCycle
Storage = Drive-0
Messages = Standard
Pool = Default
Priority = 10
}
Job {
Name = Client2
Client = jerome-fd
JobDefs = MainJob
Write Bootstrap = /root/bacula/bin/working/Client2.bsr
}
Job {
Name = BackupCatalog
JobDefs = MainJob
Level = Full
FileSet=Catalog
Schedule = WeeklyCycleAfterBackup
# This creates an ASCII copy of the catalog
RunBeforeJob = /root/bacula/bin/make_catalog_backup bacula bacula
# This deletes the copy of the catalog
RunAfterJob = /root/bacula/bin/delete_catalog_backup
Write Bootstrap = /root/bacula/bin/working/BackupCatalog.bsr
Priority = 11 # run after main backup
}
# List of files to be backed up
FileSet {
Name = Full Set
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
}
File = /
}
Exclude {
File = /proc
File = /tmp
File = /.journal
File = /.fsck
}
}
Client {
Name = jerome-fd
Address = jerome
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = f0/iy0aB0V0gK9YxE2M3BPzEp1IkW9sbcysZ69mSSC1f #
password for FileDaemon
File Retention = 30 days# 30 days
Job Retention = 6 months# six months
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}
And in jerome-fd.conf I have this defined:
FileDaemon { # this is me
Name = jerome-fd
FDport = 9102 # where we listen for the director
WorkingDirectory = /root/bacula/bin/working
Pid Directory = /root/bacula/bin/working
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
}
When I try and start bacula I get this error:
./bacula start
Starting the Bacula Storage daemon
Starting the Bacula File daemon
Starting the Bacula Director daemon
17-Apr 12:06 bacula-dir: ERROR TERMINATION at parse_conf.c:508
Config error: Could not find config Resource storage referenced on
line 32 : Storage = Drive-0
: line 32, col 19 of file /root/bacula/bin/bacula-dir.conf
Storage = Drive-0
Looking at that it says that the Storgae = Drive-0 is wrong. Should
this be set to Device = Autochanger? Looking at the configuration it
looks like you can have multiple Device {} sections but the names must
be different?
Any help would be appreciated. If this is explained in the manual than
pointing to that section is fine.
Thanks in Advance.

the JobDefs field to point to MainJob. Is this correct?

Robert Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/17/06 12:37 PM
You need to add a storage resource to bacula-dir.conf.
This is the abstraction for a device controlled by a Storage Daemon.
You probably want something like
Storage {
Name = name, this is what you put in the Job / JobDefs
Address = IP Address or Name of system running bacula-sd
SDPort = 9103 Must match the Storage resource in bacula-sd.conf
Password = password matching the one in the Director resource in
bacula-sd.conf
Device = Drive-0
Media Type = LTO-2
}

Mount blank Volume on device Drive-1 (/dev/nst1) and press return when ready: Per the Manual I just have to hit enter and the autochanger will unload the first tape and load the second.

If the idea of the fill test is to see if it will go from tape to tape without intervention, then I must have something misconfigured. Anyone on the list using the Dell-124T and can shed some light?

[Bacula-users] New user Question about GUI Interface
I am evaluating Bacula and would like to know if the enable-gnome option is required. Does the GNOME interface make this package easier to configure and maintain? The problem I have is my Fedora Core 3 Server was installed without X Windows and I haven't found any sort of docs that explains how to install it after the fact. So should I install X Windows on my server or not? Thanks in Advance John J. Boris, Sr. JEN-A-SyS Administrator Archdiocese of Philadelphia Remember!
