Re: [Bacula-users] All the problems with Bacula
Shon Stephens a écrit : Ok. This is a rant and you can remove it from the list if you want to later. I just have to vent. Bacula is incredibly complex to setup. Its taken 4 months and its still not working correctly. Things that should be easy that Bacula makes overly complex: Labeling tapes Assigning tapes to pools Reassigning tapes to pools Managing disk media Things Bacula can't seem to get right: Detecting a tape is in the drive and using it Even though the correctly labeled tape is in the drive, and has the right Volume label, and is marked Append, and is from the correct Pool Bacula is still waiting for a mount request. Every external program recognizes that the tape is in the drive and mounted. Not Bacula Catalog entries. I've not had a single backup job where the right entries made it into the Catalog Windows hosts. Good luck figuring out the esoteric path syntax because its different in different chapters of the manual and also different depending on which part of the config you are editing Basically I can't see that its useable for anything more than backing up a single system, and even then better be careful. I'm going with Arkeia Network Backup. Might cost money, but at least it will work as advertised which is more than can be said for Crapula You are a nice person, your good humor will be missed for us all.

Re: [Bacula-users] Modifying Fileset changes incr to Full
Hi, Just use the Ignore FileSet Change directive. Regards, Ludovic Strappazon. Jean-François Leroux a écrit : Hi, I noticed that changing the FileSet content changes bacula behaviour : a scheduled incremental backup becomes a full backup in such a case. This is a problem for me because : - I shall change the FileSet ressource often - I'm backing up to disk with a fixed volumes number. Let's take an example: I have set the Max Volumes to 3 for one of my machines, so, when a change comes, a full backup is done and one of my 3 full backup volumes is used. Thus, when the next full backup time comes, bacula hangs with th usual message waiting for appendable media, because this is now the fourth backup of this type, and so on... Is there a way to avoid that, or to free the oldest volume after a FileSet change? What I did is delete the oldest volume by hand then use the 'delete' command in bconsole, but I guess there is a cleaner way to do it.

Re: [Bacula-users] FW: Backup of a mysql dump of the database
Marc a écrit : I have to maintain a server park with 500+ databases, and databases being remove and added every day. So defining a job for each database is not an option. I can't imagine a way to back them up one by one in a single job. Creating a backup of the database files is not what I'm looking for, as I will be unable to restore Inno databases. Inno databases are stored in one file, not separate files / directories as MyISAM. I think I don't understand that. Regards, Ludovic Strappazon.

Of course you will have to configure file-1-fs and file-2-fs to backup file-1 and file-2. I think the syntax is false because I did it without looking at the documentation, but the idea is here.

[Bacula-users] Problem with the Scratch Pool behaviour.
Hello, I have a problem, or something I don't understand, with the scratch pool's behaviour in Bacula 1.38.11 : Yesterday, Bacula ran a job with tape 000110 from the pool Externalisation and let this tape with status append and ~100 Go free. Then It ran two jobs from with the tape 000125 from the pool Sauvegarde. Then It ran another job using the pool Externalisation, but instead of using the previously used tape 000110, it took the tape 000117 from the scratch pool, which is not what I expected, nor what I want. I don't know if I do something wrong or if it is a bug ? I reproduce the sequence of jobs and the list volumes (before and after) below. Thanks for any help.

Is there any way to have bacula predict how many volumes will be needed for the

My goal is to make sure that the autochanger is always loaded with enough tapes
to handle the next night's backup, without changing tapes every day.
I'm interested in having bacula notify me in advance that it guesses that the
following night's backup will require N volumes. I don't want to run
estimate for each client (which is a time-consuming and resource intensive
action), and then sum the results. It would be great if bacula made use of
information that's in the database to get the average of the sizes of the last
X backups of the same level that's scheduled for the next backup (ie., full,
incremental, differential) for each client, and then added a user-defined
fudge-factor (maybe 10%) to guess at the size of the upcoming backup for all
scheduled jobs.
For example, most of our non-full backups are under 100GB for all clients
combined, so our autochanger can run for a long time without manually removing
full tapes and putting in new ones. However, full backups can be anywhere from
40GB to over 2TB (depending on the client). To reduce contention, full backups
are set up with a staggered schedule--each client does a full on a different
night. It would be nice to get some warning from bacula that the next night's
backup will probably take 6 volumes, so that I can make sure the enough empty
(or over-writeable) tapes are loaded.
Any suggestions about scripting such an early warning system? I'm thinking of
something like:
--- bad pseudo-code ---
foreach $client sqlquery(Get list of clients scheduled to backup
tonight)
{
$backup_level=sqlquery(Get level of next backup for $client);
$size=average(sqlquery size in GB of all backups for
$client of $backup_level);
$predictedsize=$total + $size;
}
$predictedsize=$predictedsize * $fudgefactor;
foreach $volsize (sqlquery(Select VolumeSize in GB
where VolumeStatus='Full'))
{
$volsizetotal=$volsize + $volsizetotal;
$volcount++;
}
$average_GB_to_fill_volume=$volsizetotal/$volcount;
$volumes_needed=$predictedsize / $average_GB_to_fill_volume;
roundup($volumes_needed);
print There will be $volumes_needed needed for tonight's backup;
EO bad pseudo-code ---

I don't use scratch pools at all, currently, but I can't see why I'd want a new volume being added to the pool when I've got one in there that's supposed to be used. Wouldn't that mean that it would ALWAYS choose a scratch volume if there is one available and all of your tapes are full (even if one should be recycled)? In my setup, this would be the case anyway. If I remember the argument correctly, it was: Why overwrite volumes if there are scratch volumes available? That is what scratch volumes are for. Hello, In my opinion, the pools should normally cycle on theirs tapes without adding tapes in a stable situation. The scratch pool should be a security to avoid blocking the backups if one volumetry's job increases suddenly, for example. The second advantage of scratch pool is to reach a stable situation automatically : I create all my pools, I put all the tapes in the scratch pool, and let's run Bacula and see what happen. The pools will pick the tapes until they can cycle respecting the retentions periods, so the different pools should be stable. With the new algorithm, I can't use the scratch pool in any of these ways... So please Kern, put it back to the 1.38.5 behavior !

The same restrictions apply to Unix systems as noted above for the *Run Before Job*. In addition, for a Windows client on version 1.33 and above, please take careful note that you must ensure a correct path to your script. The script or program can be a .com, .exe or a .bat file. However, if you specify a path, you must also specify the full extension. Unix like commands will not work unless you have installed and properly configured Cygwin in addition to and separately from Bacula. *Special Windows Considerations* The command can be anything that cmd.exe or command.com will recognize as an executable file. Specifying the executable's extension is optional, unless there is an ambiguity. (i.e. ls.bat, ls.exe) The System %Path% will be searched for the command. (under the environment variable dialog you have have both System Environment and User Environment, we believe that only the System environment will be available to bacula-fd, if it is running as a service.) System environment variables can be referenced with %var% and used as either part of the command name or arguments.

Re: [Bacula-users] Autochanger with multiple drives
Hi,
You should look to this option :
*Prefer Mounted Volumes = yes|no*
If the Prefer Mounted Volumes directive is set to *yes* (default
yes), the Storage daemon is requested to select either an
Autochanger or a drive with a valid Volume already mounted in
preference to a drive that is not ready. If no drive with a suitable
Volume is available, it will select the first available drive.
If the directive is set to *no*, the Storage daemon will prefer
finding an unused drive, otherwise, each job started will append to
the same Volume (assuming the Pool is the same for all jobs).
Setting Prefer Mounted Volumes to no can be useful for those sites
particularly with multiple drive autochangers that prefer to
maximumize backup throughput at the expense of using additional
drives and Volumes. As an optimization, when using multiple drives,
you will probably want to start each of your jobs one after another
with approximately 5 second intervals. This will help ensure that
each night, the same drive (Volume) is selected for the same job,
otherwise, when you do a restore, you may find the files spread over
many more Volumes than necessary.

[Bacula-users] About Scratch Pool
Hello, I've just tried the Scratch Pool feature. I'm very happy to have it in Bacula. However, I think there is two problems, unless I'm missing something : - Bacula takes a Scratch Pool volume when it can't find any appendable volume, but it should (in my opinion) look before if there's any recyclable volume. I think it should use Scratch Pool only when a pool can't cycle on its volumes. - The retention of the volume added from the Scratch Pool should be the retention of its new pool instead of one year.

Re: [Bacula-users] Re: [Bacula-devel] About Scratch Pool
I agree with you about moving 8 before 7. But from my test, I think that 8 is currently between 3 and 4. There is something I don't understand : Is there something the 9 can do that the 4 couldn't ? (ie : prune oldest is included in prune all, no ?) Ludovic. Kern Sibbald wrote: On Monday 28 November 2005 12:26, Ludovic Strappazon wrote: This is maybe more readable : Yes, thanks, it keeps it all on one line. So, thanks for the example, this seems pretty clear. Here is the algorithm that Bacula uses to get the next volume (as written in the manual): 1. Search the Pool for a Volume with VolStatus=Append (if there is more than one, the Volume with the oldest date last written is chosen. If two have the same date then the one with the lowest MediaId is chosen). 2. Search the Pool for a Volume with VolStatus=Recycle and the InChanger flag is set true (if there is more than one, the Volume with the oldest date last written is chosen. If two have the same date then the one with the lowest MediaId is chosen). 3. Try recycling any purged Volumes. 4. Prune volumes applying Volume retention period (Volumes with VolStatus Full, Used, or Append are pruned). 5. Search the Pool for a Volume with VolStatus=Purged 6. If InChanger was set, go back to the first step above, but this second time, ignore the InChanger flag in step 2. 7. Attempt to create a new Volume if automatic labeling enabled If Python is enabled, a Python NewVolume even is generated before the Label Format check is used. 8. If a Pool named Scratch exists, search for a Volume and if found move it to the current Pool for the Job and use it. 9. Prune the oldest Volume if RecycleOldestVolume=yes (the Volume with the oldest LastWritten date and VolStatus equal to Full, Recycle, Purged, Used, or Append is chosen). This record ensures that all retention periods are properly respected. 10. Purge the oldest Volume if PurgeOldestVolume=yes (the Volume with the oldest LastWritten date and VolStatus equal to Full, Recycle, Purged, Used, or Append is chosen). We strongly recommend against the use of PurgeOldestVolume as it can quite easily lead to loss of current backup data. Please look it over carefully, but it seems to me that if I move item 8 before item 7 (i.e. exchange the two), Bacula will do what you want. I agree this would be much more logical ... Please let me know what you think. I have a pool with two full tapes : Tape_1|Full|1 week|Recycle=yes|LastWritten=5/11/2005 Tape_2|Full|1 week|Recycle=yes|LastWritten=23/11/2005 And a Scratch Pool with Tape_3.

Perhaps this doesn't apply to Gilberto, but I suspect so:
I would add to what Ryan says because we have seen a lot of similar
complaints lately, and the bottom line of all of them is that most
of you are running on the ragged edge. This means, in general, that
you have no margin of safety. Most of you are asking Bacula to
destroy a previous backup that is still valid. I.e. you want to
write over a tape that has the only full backup say from last week.
Bacula won't normally do this without a lot of arm twisting. The
features exist, you just need to read the document to find them.
Some of them are marked The use of this directive is not
recommended
If you find yourself in this situation, you may be risking your
company's data, and the simple solution is to buy more tapes and use
a longer cycle so you are sure you are not writing over the last
full backup made a week ago.
All this is in the manual. The manual is big, so sometimes it is
hard to find, but look at the table of contents and the index, and
read, read, read. For those of you who do not easily read English --
I'm sorry, its our only manual at the current time ... :-(

I use this two tape one saturday yes and one saturday no...
The backup runs every saturday, at 13hs00.
The Pool called Saturday work very well...
But the Pool Night is so complicated...
The night pool backup the file very well.
But when the schedule Catalog runs, the tape is not mark whit Full

How can I set bacula to mark tape whit Full status, by
recycling the

Re: [Bacula-users] Listing of remote files
Hi Fred, Maybe estimate ? Ludovic. http://bacula.org/rel-manual/Bacula_Console.html#SECTION000205000 *estimate* Using this command, you can get an idea how many files will be backed up, or if you are unsure about your Include statements in your FileSet, you can test them without doing an actual backup. The default is to assume a Full backup. However, you can override this by specifying a *level=Incremental* or *level=Differential* on the command line. A Job name must be specified or you will be prompted for one, and optionally a Client and FileSet may be specified on the command line. It then contacts the client which computes the number of files and bytes that would be backed up. Please note that this is an estimated calculated from the number of blocks in the file rather than by reading the actual bytes. As such, the estimated backup size will generally be larger than an actual backup. Optionally you may specify the keyword *listing* in which case, all the files to be backed up will be listed. Note, it could take quite some time to display them if the backup is large. The full form is: estimate job=job-name listing client=client-name fileset=fileset-name level=level-name Specification of the *job* is sufficient, but you can also override the client, fileset and/or level by specifying them on the estimate command line.

If the US patent office allows patents of crap like that, we are all in *deep* trouble. We can only hope that the European Union does not follow the US's lead.

Re: [Bacula-users] isolating users
Hello Marco, I think you need to use ACL's. Take look there : http://bacula.org/rel-manual/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION0001413000 Ludovic. marco wrote: Hi all, I am currently trying to find a backup solution that allows my clients to backup on my storage space (eg; disk set) and allow them to perform restore operations without risking our own data and or other clients. Would I just need to run multiple per client instances of the backup server, or would I need also need to have seperate storage daemons as well? From what I gather from the documentation, and my own tests a few months back, it is possible for anyone who has director access to arbitarily restore any data to almost anywhere What have other list members done in a multi-user dont-trust-anyone environment?

Re: [Bacula-users] Script nagios
Arno Lehmann wrote: Now, if only you could rely on the scheduled jobs output, concerning tape requirement... I, at least, can't, and even if I see why that doesn't help me a lot... Do you mean rely on an estimate for each scheduled job ? No, I mean that the volume given in sta dir for the scheduled jobs does not consider job overrides or schedule overrdes, like Incremental Pool in a job definition or Pool= in the schedule. Nor an upgrade from Incremental to Full, I suppose. This is very far from my poor programming capacities, and I don't know how to get these infos from Bacula. I hope you will succeed. Oops, you misunderstood me - I'm not trying to do that, because that would require redoing all the considerations the director has to do when it starts a job. And I really don't intend to either rework the director status output or add such a capapility to my script, starting with parsing the bacula-dir.conf... no, I'll wait till Kern asks for possible improvements and then suggest this issue :-) Arno Good strategy :-D Ludovic. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: [Bacula-users] Concurrent Job Behaviour
Hi Sean, It is possible to have Concurrent Jobs running and spooling in the second scenario :-) You can send more details. Ludovic Sean O'Grady wrote: Hello, I'm trying to get a better understanding of Concurrent Job behaviour and how it relates to multiple jobs going to a single Storage Device. The basics of my setup are multiple clients and a single Storage device. I specify that all Jobs will be spooled and that there is a Maximum Concurrent Job number of 20. What I would like to have happen is if 5 Jobs start @ 23:00 the first one started spools its data and then writes to tapes when its finished spooling. The additional 4 Jobs meanwhile start spooling their data from the client while the first job is running and then write to tape when the Storage Device becomes available. The order of Job completion can be FIFO as long as the data can be spooled concurrently from all clients (assuming there is enough disk space). As an alternative which would be even better - All 5 Jobs start @ 23:00 spooling data from the client, the first Job to complete the spooling from the client starts writing to the Storage Device. Remaining Jobs queue for the Storage Device as it becomes available and as their spooling completes. Instead what I'm seeing is while the first job executes the additional jobs all have a status of is waiting on max Storage jobs and will not begin spooling their data until that first Job has spooled-despooled-written to the Storage Device. My question is of course is this possible to have Concurrent Jobs running and spooling in one of the scenarios above (or another I'm missing). If so I'll send out more details of my config to see if anyone can point out what I'm doing wrong.

Re: [Bacula-users] Device is BLOCKED waiting for appendable media.
Hi Evelyne, From the manual : *My Catalog is Full of Test Runs, How Can I Start Over? * If you are using MySQL do the following: cd bacula-source/src/cats ./drop_mysql_tables ./make_mysql_tables If you are using SQLite, do the following: Delete bacula.db from your working directory. cd bacula-source/src/cats ./drop_sqlite_tables ./make_sqlite_tables Then write an EOF on each tape you used with *Bacula* using: mt -f /dev/st0 rewind mt -f /dev/st0 weof where you need to adjust the device name for your system.

Re: [Bacula-users] Problem with concurrent jobs, pools, volumes.... ;-)
Hello, - setup pools as in the example Kern gave in Using Pools to Manage Volumes with some changes: volume retention for full is only 2 month. Another thing i would like was to have uniqe name for the volumes created according to the job-name (is this a good idea?) Why not, but unless I'm wrong, your volumes will remain on your disk as they will not be reused, tou will need to delete them yourself. Running Jobs: JobId Level Name Status == 7 Increme sunserv-data.2005-05-02_08.09.35 is waiting on max Storage jobs 6 Increme sunserv-system.2005-05-02_08.09.32 is waiting execution 5 Fullsonne-data.2005-05-02_08.09.03 is running 4 Increme sonne-system.2005-05-02_08.08.59 is waiting for higher priority jobs to finish 3 Fullatpc4ujc-data.2005-05-02_08.06.14 is running sonne-data, sunserv-data and sunserv-system will all use the same pool and same storage but why are the sunserv-jobs waiting for sonne to complete? I think they are waiting because they need a volume from Incr-Pool while the storage device is busy with a volume from Full-Pool.
