Re: [Bacula-users] Reliable Backups without Tapes?
On 7/14/11 4:56 PM, Ken Mandelberg wrote: We currently backup our department network running Legato networker with backup to a raided disk array (advanced file device in their jargon) followed by cloning to a Qualstar/SAIT2 tape library. Our backup needs are increasing and we don't want to buy licenses for more file device space or more tape slots. We would like to go with Bacula and have no limits. In fact since SAIT has dead ended and its not clear to me if Bacula supports Qualstar, I wonder about an all disk solution. Under Legato the license restriction artificially keep the file-device small relative to the tape storage. However, these days disks are cheaper than tapes and license free we could afford a lot of disk space. However, the second feature of the tapes is that if the file-device fails (even raid fails), we can transparently go to tape. It also affords the option of off site copies of the tapes. Is there any strategy for Bacula that adds the reliability we would lose by abandoning the tapes. Perhaps a second redundant array combined with some removable drives for off sites? Ken, You will have to change the way you look at backups. Use the RAID but also consider an off-site disk arrangement - depending upon what kind of environment you are in and the size of data. You could purchase a supported model tape drive if you need to keep your current arrangement. Although disks and Bacula provide freedom, you gain the headache of having to think about how to architect a solution.

The issue seems to be that the storage daemon is not automatically labelling a new volume. The setup looks like this: Director lives on an Intel server running Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS, the installed version of bacula is from the packages for this release: 5.0.1 Storage daemons live on a pair of Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ (sparc-based NAS boxes) using 5.0.1 compiled natively on a ReadyNAS box. The NV+ is running Linux 2.6.17.14ReadyNAS and I believe this is a re-packaged Debian Sarge We have File daemons (version 5.0.3) deployed on a range of Windows 2003, 2000 and Ubuntu server boxes. We do a full backup each Saturday morning, then each weeknight we write an incremental. The director config has has custom schedules so that alternate weeks are written to different storage daemons. The problems seemed to start occurring when the volume names rolled over from Incr-0099 to Incr-0100 (that is the first instance I can find of this issue, anyway). I don't know if this is coincidence or not. When the problem occurred, we got this in the director's logs: [snip] My suspicion is that the issue is on the storage daemon. I've now set them to create debug level output (using-v -dt -d 200) which I have redirected to a file, so I hope to have more info in future. Regards, Philip. Philip, My first thought is that your fd, maybe, should not be more current than the dir or sd. Having an older fd worked for me. The second thing is there are no 'maximum' commands. Here are mine in the Pool section: Maximum Volume Bytes = 4GB Maximum Volumes = 115 Multiply 4 x 115 = 460 GB - bad things happen if the disk gets full The third thought is that you really should run a much simpler setup(conf files) till all issues are hashed out.

Re: [Bacula-users] Tuning Bacula
Compare against a stock, non tuned, Bacula install. Are you going between building where you get the slow transfer speed? UCSC has 1 Gb links between buildings from my recollection. The link to the outside world is not much more than that. Bacula also has a batch mode which you can twiddle around with. For the slowest backup job, the two servers are sitting in the same rack on the same gigabit switch. The fastest client actually is in a different building. Yes, we have 1Gb between buildings here, but out Internet connection was recently upgraded to 10Gb (not that it really applies to this situation anyhow). I found some Google hits that talked about batch mode, but no documentation that tells me how to enable it. Can you provide a link? The batch mode is a compiling option and is described in the manual (http://bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Installing_Bacula.html) below. I recall this *might* be helpful in speeding up handling of many, small files. -enable-batch-insert This option enables batch inserts of the attribute records (default) in the catalog database, which is much faster (10 times or more) than without this option for large numbers of files.

Re: [Bacula-users] Using Bittorrent as Backup Technology
Thanks to both of you for your thoughts. I am actually looking for anyone who has tried it or someone who has thought about trying it and dropped the idea. I understand 10 instances is very small - but I am not contemplating huge files either. Is the transfer latency something like filesize/number of nodes? Bacula can dump a daily differential and Bittorrent can take it from there. Databases will be more problematic. DRBD assumes, atleast that's what Google says, stable, decent bandwidth. My design takes network cutting out on a daily basis into account. We are talking the US postal service kind of a backup. It should work under adverse situations. I also want to be able to plug another unit in and have it start backing up without any twiddling. I have been there on the rsync front and it is reliable and simple. I just think if a cleaning person bumps the power cord and then plugs it back in (at night) that the machine should right itself. I know it can be done with scripts and rsync. Why invent and maintain something when p2p apps have solved the problem already? For some reason, I still think Bittorrent could be a winner in the set it and forget it backup arena. Technically, this is not really a backup, it is actually backing up a backup. A poor man's disaster planning. To be clear, here is the amount of work I am willing to do with this technology: a. Get the hardware and connection installed b. Configure encrypted transfers among a limited number of nodes c. Configure the master directories which needs to be backed up for 3x redundancy THAT'S IT - any more work is getting into fiddling.

[Bacula-users] Using Bittorrent as Backup Technology
My question may or may not be appropriate for this forum, so sorry beforehand if I am intruding. PROBLEM I am trying to solve off-site, on-disk backup problem in the Bay Area which is prone to earthquakes. QUESTION Is anyone out there using bittorrent as a backup tool? APPLICATION D-Link D323 2-bay NAS boxes (with bittorrent clients) run around USD 150 at the local store w/o drives. Plop in a couple of USD 100-1.5 TB's w/o any RAID configured. That's 3 TB or TiB (I never understood the difference. I have been to sites and read the words, but they flow way over my head). So, if a company has a dozen offices spread over a 100-mile radius territory, and we put, let's say 10 of these boxes - that is 30 TiB of raw space. Now, let's introduce redundancy.. let's say triple, so, 30/3 = 10 TiB for USD 3.5K. We can explore how much risk reduction has taken place with this redundancy...but that's a point for another time. BENEFITS - fast backup, cheap SATA drives, reliable system - data is very safe in case of earthquakes, fires, power outages, theft, communication outages and easy to maintain - one box goes down, plug another one in and point it to the mother ship. Another benefit is by spreading around the backups, you can locate the systems within a high-risk area (of fire, earthquake, flooding, tornadoes, etc) and make it reasonably reliable and easily accessible (easy driving distance to go pick up the hard drive) WHY POST THIS? I am posting this message for two reasons: a) Bacula and other enterprise backup tools do not particularly like unreliable bandwidth connections and a bittorrent-like technology fills the gap. The gap is that Bacula and other tools are making disk backups convenient. As people move away from tape, the disk-based systems are increasingly at risk from natural disasters and wear and tear over time. Thus increasing risk as compared to tape backups. Although they too are susceptible to wear and tear. Do you consider some sort of off-site as a natural cost of doing on-disk backups? b) If someone is doing it or thinking about using bittorrent technologies - I'd like to know how of your experiences (and config files) and what hardware you use.

Re: [Bacula-users] Deploying Bacula
We backup ~35TB each week in a 3 week rotation so we just have to scale out in order to meet our demands and we are planning to go multi-DIR, multi-SD with a couple of very hefty MySQL servers to service them. Holy cow! That's a lot of data. I'm exploring using ZFS's de-dup function. Problem is it is easiest implementing on the storage side AFTER you have gone through the pain of bringing the stuff over. Ideally it should be on the client side.

With the others advices I had, I'm planning to have a dual Xeon Nehalem, with 8 ou 12 GB of RAM, and four 300 GB SAS disks in RAID 10. Not sure about the OS, I'm balancing between FreeBSD and Gentoo. But, if someone here have a similar setup, I'm ready to hear his advices and tips about my configuration. We are currently planning a large Bacula deployment (~1k machines) so I have been facing many of the same challenges. Regardless of whatever database you choose you'll need enough disk IOPS to service the DB and I don't think that 4 x 300 GB SAS are sufficient. A 4 disk RAID10 will give you the write IOPS equivalent to 2 disks and the DB is most likely going to do synchronous random writes which in turn is 100% disk IOPS bound. Find the tech specs of the disks you are using - they should give you an indication of how many random write IOPS they can handle. I will do some bonnie++ tests :) Additionally, you should align your FS to the same blocksize as your database - 8K for postgresql if I remember correctly. It you are using a fixed blocksize FS where the blocksize is lower than the DB blocksize you could end up in a siutation where one DB operation is causing 2 or more disk IOPS. Right, we never see the problem on this side. The filestem used for the director can be: - if FreeBSD FFS or ZFS (ZFS is nice supported with FreeBSD 8) - if Gentoo or Linux Distro, ext4 In the same way, what FS do you, on the list, prefer for storage ? We don't use tape, only disk storage. The first who talk of NTFS will need to avoid my curses for generations.edk We backup ~35TB each week in a 3 week rotation so we just have to scale out in order to meet our demands and we are planning to go multi-DIR, multi-SD with a couple of very hefty MySQL servers to service them. Directors will run Linux and both our SD's and MySQL servers will run Solaris. So, you plan to have dedicated databases servers, having a lightweigh director but huge database servers ? And, if Solaris on the SD, you'll surely use ZFS ? The only place where we scale up instead of our are our SD's - currently our 3 SD nodes have access to 300+ disks and 2 dedicated 10 Gbit fiber links. Wow.. Tht's really impressive. I'd like to have enough money for building such system. But, that's not and we'll use hand-made NAS with poor inexpensive SATA disk ;) Right, the lowly inexpensive Coraid AOE SATA arrays are DUAL 10 GB capable with a $1K HBA. It's a simpler setup than Fiber Channel and they claim, faster. I don't work for the company but have one of their 15-bay unit. I'm freaking out about the configs files :) They'll be really huge I think. If your filesets are standardized, which they should be else you'll go crazy, you can simplify your task. I have a directory /../.../etc/conf.d where I put filesets.conf, schedules.conf, clients.conf and the like. I can see schedules and clients being large.

So yes bacula documentation is huge, but everything is in ! One of the first few points you should check (and this is ubuntu/debian related) What type of database would you use : sqlite,mysql,postgresql ? Once you choose : the mysql / postgresql needs to be installed and running. Next choose the according bacula-dir package as each database is specifically linked to. so there's one bacula-dir for sqlite, one for mysql one for postgresql, and they can't be mixed. At your place, I would remove by purge all bacula related package, make my decision and re-start install. (If it doesn't work out of the box, complain about the packager) And yes in ubuntu/debian world they tend to understand network backup service to localhost. So you have to change all 127.0.0.1 or localhost in all config files -dir -fd -sd if you want to backup something on your network.

Re: [Bacula-users] Serious issues, should I start over?
From all that is passing or trespassing through this thread, a passing thought comes to me: I don't think you are changing the right conf files - or you may have multiple executables and they are not looking at where the conf files are. The hint that the hunch is based on is the restart does not restart all services. So, here is a quick way of finding out which file your fd executable is pointing to - look at(edit) the bacula-ctl-fd file. The top few lines of mine looks like: === BACFDBIN=/usr/local/sbin BACFDCFG=/usr/local/etc PIDDIR=/var/run SUBSYSDIR=/var/db/bacula/working FD_PORT=9102 === So, the bacula-fd executable should be in /usr/local/sbin. The bacula-fd.conf should be in /usr/local/etc and so on.

Re: [Bacula-users] Restoring large directory does not work
Thanks Martin, You have put a good closure on the quest for knowledge. If I upgrade Bacula, will I have to upgrade the database? Meaning do I have to run those update table scripts. I am on postgresql version 8.29. Yudhvir OK, this shows why it is slow. The algorithm in add_findex is only efficient when called with consecutive index values (the third number printed). The code for restore all in 2.4.4 doesn't do that, so it can take a very long time to complete. This was fixed in later version, so I think the best solution is to upgrade Bacula. __Martin -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

[Bacula-users] Restoring large directory does not work
Trying to restore files using bconsole: * restore client=client1-fd fileset=Client1-Fileset select current all done. It does the 'select', 'current', and 'all' but sits there on the 'done' part. I have left it like this overnight with no change in status.
