Re: [Bacula-users] is there a way to rename an active volume?

 I don't actually need to rename it. Migrating to another volume in the 
 same pool would also work, as would telling bacula to stop using it for 
 new backups, so that it would eventually be empty.

For tapes, it used to be possible to rename them by manually writing a
label to them (btape label) and then mangling the SQL database to fit
that (don't forget to restart everything afterwards) but even there,
doing a rename of a volume carrying data wouldn't have worked (needed to
be empty to be sure).

Your best bet is probably to empty the volume and just delete/recreate it.

[Bacula-users] SSL/TLS problems between director and FD (certificate issues)?

2012-09-04 Thread Michel Meyers
Hello,

It's been a long time since I have bugged this mailing list but sadly, I
see no other way right now.

I'm trying to set up TLS between an external FD on the Internet and an
internal Director and SD, but failing.

I have my own CA (created in TinyCA2 a long time ago) and have issued
server type certificates to both the director/SD (both on same box) and
the FD, but when I try to connect to the FD, I get this on the director
console:

04-Sep 08:49 server-dir JobId 0: Error: openssl.c:86 Connect failure:
ERR=error:14094413:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert unsupported
certificate
04-Sep 08:49 server-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: TLS negotiation failed
with FD at fdbox.server.com:9102.

When I try to use a client-type certificate on the FD side, I get this:

04-Sep 08:46 server-dir JobId 0: Error: tls.c:92 Error with certificate
at depth: 0, issuer = /C=LU/L=MyCA/O=MyOrg/OU=MyOU/CN=Root
CA/emailAddress=security@blah, subject =

04-Sep 08:46 server-dir JobId 0: Error: openssl.c:86 Connect failure:

verify failed
04-Sep 08:46 server-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: TLS negotiation failed
with FD at fdbox.server.com:9102.

On the Client side, I get this with a server-cert:

k233-fd: filed.c:276-0 filed: listening on port 9102
k233-fd: cram-md5.c:72-0 send: auth cram-md5

k233-fd: openssl.c:85-0 jcr=2480678 Connect failure:

and with a Client-type cert:
k233-fd: filed.c:276-0 filed: listening on port 9102
k233-fd: cram-md5.c:72-0 send: auth cram-md5

k233-fd: openssl.c:85-0 jcr=1fd6878 Connect failure:
ERR=error:14094413:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert unsupported
certificate

The documentation doesn't really clarify which type of certificate goes
where (TinyCA2 will only let me sign certs as Server or Client). Does
the bacula-dir need a client-type cert?

Has anybody got this working with Peer verification and their own CA?
I'd be curious to see how you generated the certs...

I resorted to creating my certs via cacert.org for now and those work,
so I can definitely pinpoint my TinyCA2-generated certificates as the
problem source. I'll have to redo my certs whenever I have the time to
do so.

Hello,

Found this while Googling:

http://www.mail-archive.com/sqlite-users@sqlite.org/msg10902.html
- -
I believe that SQLite will return with an SQLITE_FULL error if your run
out of disk space, OR if the value of the inserted row's rowid or INTEGER
PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT column exceeds a maximum value (2147483647 on a
32 bit, 9223372036854775807 on a 64 bit).

[...]

To check the second condition you could SELECT max(rowid) from category;
and see if you are at or near the maximum value for your platform.
- -

If that's not the case either, your best bet is to take this up with the
SQLite developers, or to migrate to a 'proper' database backend like
MySQL or postgres. (The Bacula manual does state 'we do not recommend it
[SQLite] for production use'.

Not sure if there's a way built into the installer to do that,

... update: While writing this and poking around, the /noservice option
may be what you want (prevents Bacula from installing the service, thus
should also prevent it from trying to remove it).

Alternatively: It seems that the installer only runs that when it finds
bacula-fd.exe already existing, so what you could do is remove
bacula-fd.exe before running the actual installer

In addition to that, the installer script is part of the source
distribution. You can use NSIS (http://nsis.sf.net) to create your own
installer and customize the existing one to your liking. (look for .nsi
files in the src/win32 directory tree)

Hope that helps.

[Bacula-users] Where are file signatures generated? Can bad memory on SD system cause data corruption?

2010-01-20 Thread Michel Meyers
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

Not sure if somebody on the users list can answer this, but with a
fileset that has this:

FileSet {
  Name = Backup
  Include {
   Options { signature=MD5; }
...


1. Where are the signatures actually generated?
2. Are the signatures checked when a restore is done?


I'm asking because I recently had a weird issue with Bacula and am
wondering whether my diagnosis is correct.

Backstory: I recently inherited an Exabyte 110L LTO2 Loader (IBM
Ultrium-TD2 drive) and PCI-E SCSI Controller (Adaptec ASC-29320ALP
U320). My storage 'server' doesn't have a PCI-E slot, so I hooked all
this up to my newer 'desktop' PC and installed an SD there (both run
Bacula 3.0.3 on Debian Testing with a 2.6.30 kernel). To test the setup
I started a backup with a few bigger files (mostly CD images) from the
server and then restored and compared them to the originals. The restore
process didn't complain about the files but to my surprise, they didn't
match. A closer inspection showed that all of the files only differed in
a single byte.

A few weeks later my desktop PC went haywire, which I eventually
diagnosed as faulty memory (segfaults and gpfs in Linux and both
memtest86+ and Windows Memory Diagnostic found issues with 3 of the 4
RAM bars). Knowing that this PC has had sporadic issues previously (with
Windows Vista dumping to blue screen and complaining about the RAM when
it came back) I replaced all of the memory modules and figured I'd
retest Bacula again. It turns out that this backup and restore worked
flawlessly (same amount of files backed up and test files, but it did
use a different tape than in the first test).

Hence my question: How could the file difference slip past the restore
process and is it possible that faulty memory on the SD can cause silent
data corruption? Or is that not possible and the fault actually lies
with either the tape, the drive or the controller/controller cable?

- - Michel

P.S. the relevant part from my SD configuration:

Autochanger {
  Name = Exabyte110L
  Device = Ultrium-TD2
  Changer Command = /etc/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d
  Changer Device = /dev/changer
}

Device {
  Name = Ultrium-TD2
  Drive Index = 0
  Media Type = LTO-2
  Archive Device = /dev/nst0
  AutomaticMount = yes;   # when device opened, read it

 can find no material referencing his work.

 Offhand, the article mentions two solutions in passing and dismisses
 them.  Then it glows on about Amanada.  :)

 At first, I thought the article was outdated, but I could find no
 evidence that it was a republished work.

Well, here's an older version, dated September 2008:
http://searchstorage.techtarget.com/magazineFeature/0,296894,sid5_gci1331591,00.html

The interviewed Chris Hoogendyk is certainly no stranger to our list
here. He was, among others, very adamant about getting the feature we
call 'accurate backup' and which has been available as of release 3.0.0:
http://www.mail-archive.com/search?q=Hoogendykl=bacula-users%40lists.sourceforge.net

Personally, I can't claim to administer anything remotely as big as the
biology and geology departments at the University of Massachusetts
Amherst, (I do admin several thousand users at my job, but my Bacula
install only has a measly 10 users and 13 computers to worry about)
however if they interviewed me, I'd gladly tell them why I dropped
Amanda for Bacula back in 200something. ;)

The resuling piece would be just as biased as this 'article'. Then
again, I can't help but be biased, because I've now spent several years
using the very mature, extremely stable and rather feature rich Bacula
Open Source Network Backup Solution, and it is still a pleasure watching
it bloom and improve with every release.

[Bacula-users] Slightly off topic: Using the mailslot on a Quantum Superloader 3.

2009-06-25 Thread Michel Meyers
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

Forgive me for the O/T post, but I know several people here are using
Quantum Superloaders and have wondered how the mailslot could be used,
given that it cannot be addressed via mtx. I found this on the web:

http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/ejecting-tapes-library-after-job-completion-quantum-superloader-3

I removed the 'Windows-ness' and this is what it boils down to:

Refreshing the commands page:
wget -O /dev/null -q --http-user=guest --http-password=guest
http://192.168.1.10/commands.html;

Moving tape from Slot 4 to Mailslot:
wget -O /dev/null -q --http-user=guest --http-password=guest
http://192.168.1.10/move.cgi?from=4to=18;

(wait for user to take out tape after doing this)

Move tape from Mailslot to Slot 4:
wget -O /dev/null -q --http-user=guest --http-password=guest
http://192.168.1.10/move.cgi?from=18to=4;

(User will have to put tape in and confirm it on the display.)

This can be used to get the status page (no auth required)
wget  -q  http://192.168.1.10/status.html;

The resulting status.html can be checked for the current Autoloader and
drive status (look for Idle to make sure they're not busy before doing
any operations .).


I plan to use this in combination with 'mtx status' and a few SQL
queries to automatically remove Volstatus = 'Full' tapes and insert
Recycled ones. (Query SQL to find volume names of 'Full' volumes, cross
reference with mtx status to find related slot numbers, eject them to
mailslot (one by one), find 'Recycled' volumes to insert, locate free
slots and move tape from mailslot there, ...)

The whole thing isn't set in stone yet and might fall under the table.
If I do complete it, I'll share the resulting scripts here and on the
bacula wiki. (Not sure what language I'll be using yet as I'm actually
no good at coding.)

Greetings,
   Michel

You might want to check the release notes, especially the bit about the
catalog format changes:

http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=50727release_id=679402

Other than SQL schema changes, there's rarely something you have to
modify, but watch out and double check your config files anyway, and of
course monitor Bacula more closely after the upgrade.

 Hi,

 I have a somewhat pressing problem with the performance of my Bacula
 installation.

 My MySQL database currently holds 247,342,127 (36GB) records in the File
 table, and 78,576,199 (10GB) records in the Filename table.

 Since 3.0.0, but even more since 3.0.1, I have a problem with queries
 being really slow. Basically when doing a full backup of a server
 (mailserver, LOTS of small files), I can have my MySQL hanging for up to
 24+ hours on queries like this:

 INSERT INTO Filename( Name )
 SELECT a.Name
 FROM (

 SELECT DISTINCT Name
 FROM batch
 ) AS a
 WHERE NOT
 EXISTS (

 SELECT Name
 FROM Filename AS f
 WHERE f.Name = a.Name
 )
[...]
 Sorry, I don't know how to optimize it.

 These queries are part of the new batch insert code.  You can turn that 
 off
 by passing --disable-batch-insert to configure when building Bacula.
   
 what does this mean in practice? 1 query per file? or?
 
 The non-batch approach makes several queries per file.

But it will do so as it backs up the files, as opposed to the batch
approach where it collects all the queries and does them at the end of
the job, right?

You could do that, but you'd have to recreate the volume etc. The
upgrade process isn't very complicated. You just need to compile/install
the new version and run the update_bacula_tables script to have it
upgrade your database structure.

 Bonjour,
 
 
 Je me lance dans bacula. Mes premiers tests sont concluants et je me
 régale de réaliser des essais.
 
 La distribution sur lesquels repose les différentes serveurs (FD, DIR et
 SD) sont des Debian Etch. L'installation s'est faite via le gestionnaire
 de paquet.
 
 La question de l'architecture des sauvegardes se profile à l'horizon.
 J'en suis encore à l'état de test. Mais, de ce que j'ai compris et pour
 éviter d'avoir une usine à gaz dans le fichier de configuration du
 director je vois une possibilité de configuration.
 
 Si je souhaite, par exemple, sauvegarder les home_dir sur l'ensemble de
 mes clients. Alors je me demande comment est-il possible de mettre
 plusieurs client dans un job ? Si je met la ligne :
 Client = client1 client2
 dans mon job, je n'ai pas d'erreur lors du lancement du director.

Hello,

I'll respond in english (this is an english speaking list).

What you're doing is not possible as such. The manual explicitly
specifies this:

http://bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION00143
- 
The Client directive specifies the Client (File daemon) that will be
used in the current Job. Only a single Client may be specified in any
one Job.
- 


If you want to keep your config file cleaner I suggest you look into
JobDefs:
http://bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION00144


You should also take a look at how to include config files (for example
if you'd like to set up a conf.d-like structure):


http://wiki.bacula.org/doku.php?id=sample_configs
- 
Since Bacula 2.2.0 you can include the output of a command within a
configuration file with the ”@|” syntax. Here's how you can use ”@|” to
include all files within some directory without explicitly naming the
files (this lets you, say, add new clients to a configuration without
changing existing configuration files, just by adding a file for the new
client, containing its Job, Client, and FileSet resources, to the
included directory):
- 


Hope that helps.

Michel

 Hi,

 Is it possible to automate the Windows installer with arguments that fill  
 in the various fields such as hostnames, IP addresses, passwords etc.?

If does have a /S switch (must be capital) that should make it
auto-install the FD with the default settings. You'll have to fill in
the config files for yourself, or somehow replace them further down in
your script.

 If not, is it possible to take apart the installer and write new scripts  
 doing this and how much work would this be? It could be a generic  
 installer choosing from a plaintext file with a list of fixed hostnames,  
 IP addresses and passwords, or a unique installer per server, as long as  
 both can simply be copied and run silently.

The installer uses NSIS (http://nsis.sf.net) and its source files are
included with the Bacula source, so no need to take it apart. As to how
much work it'll be to implement the mechanisms you describe, I
unfortunately don't know.

  * New upstream release:

Which also means that the stock growisofs v7.1 shouldn't need the patch.

 seems to not be included in the release.

 Where did you get the source you're compiling? SVN?

 
 It should be in the svn source in bacula/bacula/src/win32/filed/plugins.
 Or maybe it wasn't checked in at the time of the 2.5.16 release...

Yep, looks like that's the problem:
http://bacula.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/bacula/tags/Beta-2.5.16/bacula/src/win32/filed/

When I read the Changelog for 2.5.16, and the referenced 'New Features'
page, I incorrectly assumed that everything mentioned there was in the
release. As a result, my Freshmeat writeup mentions the Exchange plugin,
which isn't in there. My mistake.

Javier: Sorry for the inconvenience but if you want to test the Exchange
plugin, you will have to download the source from SVN and build it. (I'm
working on building a copy for you, but my system isn't the fastest one.
I'll get back to you when it's done.)

Michel

Well, I tried my build again and this time it worked. Maybe my config

overwritten. Anyway, the FD at least started so feel free to try it:

Note:
- - This is a really poor quality build (of a beta/svn version to boot).
Don't use it for anything serious, unless you want to risk losing data
or inadvertedly creating a black hole.

jumbled together in that archive.

Bacula has a commant (I think it's called setip) which clients can use
to tell the director their IP (if they have access to do it). I'm not

information.

Myself, I simply linked the DNS and DHCP servers so that clients

 spool option i.e. first the data is written to a local disk drive and
 then all these temp. data is streamed to the tape.
 
 Before I changed to use BACULA, I used AMANDA for tape backups. There I
 had to adjust the blocksize. Now I wonder, where can I adjust my tape
 parameters with BACULA to have a smooth stream of data, without shoe

The entire configuration of the storage devices (including Block Sizes) 
is done in the bacula-sd.conf file.

For reference, here are the respective entries from my configs:

The jobs have this:
  Spool Data = yes
  Spool Attributes = yes

And the storage device:

Device {
  Name = LTO-2
  Drive Index = 0
  Media Type = LTO-2
  Archive Device = /dev/nst0
  AutomaticMount = yes;   # when device opened, read it
  AlwaysOpen = yes;
  RemovableMedia = yes;
  RandomAccess = no;
  AutoChanger = yes
  Maximum Changer Wait = 240
  # Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
  Alert Command = sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'
  SpoolDirectory = /space/tapedump
  Maximum Spool Size = 35000m
}

The /space/tapedump directory has plenty of space left:
/dev/md3   92G   31G   57G  35% /space

and the read/write permissions are OK (Plus, bacula is running as root
anyway).

In addition to the two jobs, another one was busy Despooling the job
attributes (ie MySQL was inserting data from the batch table into the
file table).

For now, I cancelled the two jobs, let the other one finish despooling
and then restarted both the director and the SD. This seems to have
gotten rid of the problem (at least temporarily) as my restarted job has
already spooled over 800M of data (and neither of the above would to
more than 30).

 dir, sd, and mysql are all on a Debian system
 client is on a windows system
 
 It's a Xen setup, where Debian is the Dom0 and the client is a HVM DomU

 I hadn't realised that the client version was so old... if there are any
 known performance issues with that version I'll upgrade it immediately.

There's a known performance issue with anything pre-2.0.0 as before
2.0.0, Bacula did not do any seeking in file based volumes (ie it would
read the entire volume from the start until it found the data it wants
to restore).

I'm not aware of any other performance related issues within the 2.0 and
2.2 series but I can hardly claim that to be an authoricative answer.

 Hi all,
   For my company we need to implement bacula as backup software. In a

[...]
 
 My questions are:
 
 - Does somebody know something about Bacula support for Dell Tape
 Libraries? Will I be able to use all the features of my hardware? I
 didn't find it in Bacula supported libraries page.

That's because Bacula doesn't directly need to support your hardware,
Linux has to. If all functionality of your hardware is accessible from
within Linux, (or whatever OS you use) chances are Bacula will work just
as well. Bacula just uses standard tape commands and some scripting (for
mtx) to do whatever it needs to do.

 - I will need to stop mysql slave before and restart it after backup. I
 read the documentation but something is still not clear for me. Can I
 execute a script on client before and a script on client after and
 start the backup only if success? Or it's better to use a script on
 director that remotely stops the db engine?

You can use both. It also depends on how you back up your MySQL
databases. If you just grab MySQL's files from its data directories, you
have to shut it down. Alternatively, you could dump the databases (using
mysqldump) and then back up those db dumps. The advantage of the latter
is that restores are much easier and don't depend so much on your MySQL
version etc (ie if you changed MySQL versions since the backup was
taken, a restore might be very troublesome).

 That's because Bacula doesn't directly need to support your hardware,
 Linux has to. If all functionality of your hardware is accessible from
 within Linux, (or whatever OS you use) chances are Bacula will work just
 as well. Bacula just uses standard tape commands and some scripting (for
 mtx) to do whatever it needs to do.
 
 Doh! You're right. It was so obvious :P. But the page List of bacula
 supported tape drives confused me. So, why does that page exist? 

Well, it shows devices that have proven to work with Bacula in some form
or fashion, so if you're out to get one, you might investigate the ones
listed there.

 4/5 times a week, coders call my db administrator saying ops, I
 dropped/ruined/ate the table X, now I need it as it was yesterday.
 So I need to give DB Admin a tool to quickly restore a single table
 (read files) as it was x days ago (with 1x=4). The version mismatch
 problem is not applicable with this retention.

True... in that case, shutting down MySQL and running the backup should
be enough (can be done with a 'run on client' script). Like mentioned in
another post, you might even want to use LVM do reduce your downtime:

- - shut down MySQL
- - initialize LVM snapshot
- - bring up MySQL again
- - back up from the snapshot
- - release snapshot when backup is complete

 Hi,
 
 I am working with Bacula 2.2.5 on Debian Etch. 
 
 At the moment I test the Worst Case:
 I archive all data (Full Backup) to an usb-disk every month.
 If I want to make a restore from this archive, I use the bacula utility 
 bextract. This is working fine
 But now I want to encrypt the usb-disk. The documentation tells me that 
 bextract does not restore encrypted files. Counts this statement only to the 
 bacula encryption?

I would say yes. bextract can't handle the Bacula data encryption,
that's why it won't restore the files. What you're doing is encrypting
the actual volume which does not matter to bextract as long as it can
still read it (your dm-crypt encryption works on a different level and
should be transparent to Bacula).

 Hi All,

 We are slowly migrating away from hdup to bacula and have some questions.

 - You can limit the amount of concurrent connections to a FD or SD but can
 you throttle/limit the bandwidth speed?? I see no mention of this in the
 documentation.  Useful when moving data over a small pipe so it doesn't clog
 it.  Is there a way to do this?
 
 There is no builtin support for that. You possibly can do that with an
 external tool such as openvpn.

   
 Can I suggest this as a future feature? :-) we have a hardware based VPN 
 to transfer the data so this option really isn't an option.   I don't 
 think the vpn hardware we are currently using can throttle bandwidth.

I don't know what OS you're running Bacula on, but Linux already
features a variety of traffic shapers. Read up on 'trickle', or the
tc/qos systems in the Kernel (usable with the wondershaper script for
example, ...). Other *nixes probably offer similar functionality.

I do believe Windows also has a QoS implementation but its configuration
eludes me.

You mean you back all the files up with ntbackup and then back THAT up
with Bacula? Why? Use ntbackup only for the core system state, and have
the Bacula File Daemon get the other files directly, that way you can
use incremental or differential backups, and Bacula will only get the

 I do not see anything that looks wrong. Are you using spooling? I use
 spooling with most clients except a few jobs that originate on the
 director or the storage machines.

Only guesses here:
- - Did you restart all the respective daemons after setting up the
concurrency?
- - Are all the jobs running at the same priority level? (Jobs with
different priorities will not run concurrently)

Just drop the tables manually, then use make_mysql_tables to recreate them.

 The latter does not rewind when closed, thats the one used with bacula.
 
 Untrue! its creates 8 modes. For each on st and nst, there are {a,l,m}

 Its documented that these have their own minor device numbers, but I

There's no real significance... nothing is mode 0, the default settings,
l is mode 1, m is mode 2 and a is mode 3. For some drives this allows
you to set the compression ratio (mode 1 being the lowest, mode 3 the
highest) some others use it for density settings etc etc but usually
it's not supported and unused.

 As Michel Meyers pointed out, it doesn't see the import/export slot.  I don't 
 think we CAN use mtx to eject a tape to the mailslot.  Thus we can't get 
 bacula to do it automatically either.
 
 I'd be pleased to hear back if you learn otherwise.

Kind of O/T for the Bacula list but given that the discussion started

I know Robert Nelson, who's also active in the Bacula community, took

Other than that, there's always the web interface. Once would just have

 Hi the List,

 I have an autoloader of 8 slots but only 7 are full (one is empty), so 
 bacula always ask for the 8th tape once the other tapes are full ! so 
 how could I tell to bacula to use only 7 tapes and not 8 ? so I can 
 avoid receiving such mails (below) in the week-ends ?
 
 Bacula really is not very interested in the slots in your autochanger. 
 It does keep its own inventory of the available tapes. So you probably 
 need to update the catalog - 'update slots' would be the command for 
 this - or set up your pools to contain only the volumes you want to use.

Also note that, if all the other tapes run full and the remaining tape
is marked as usable, Bacula will request it, no matter whether it is in
the autochanger or not. To prevent that, mark the tape as used and/or
ensure that there's always a usable tape in the autochanger (ie recycle
them more frequently if required...).

Michel

 I think the first thing that would need to occur for Bacula to do this,
 is the use of something stronger than MD5.  Perhaps SHA256.

Why would Bacula need to use SHA256? MD5 should be more than sufficient
to distinguish 2 different files that happen to have the same name and
filesize.

- From a checksum/hashing standpoint, Bacula should be ready to go. It's
the implementation of the duplicate detection and elimination algorythms
that requires careful planning and a lot of work to implement everywhere.

I feel obliged to warn you about that version:

You should upgrade to 2.2.4 as soon as possible. On a sidenote, 2.2.4
has some performance improvements in the way it inserts data into SQL

 wpkg to install and configure (copy  the config files), keep versions
 up-to-date, etc.

I would also recommend a look at OCS Inventory NG
(http://www.ocsinventory-ng.org/). It's a bit tricky to set up initially
but once you get everything going it allows you to get an inventory of
your machines and also push/deploy software packages onto them.

I recently switched from pushing the clients via SMB to OCS. All you
need is to create a silent installer for Bacula, zip it up and use OCS
to deploy and run it.

the last time that happened, AVG reported a false positive on the

I find it doubtful that the FD itself would be infected, unless, as you

Try to reinstall the Bacula FD and see if it still complains. If it

You can, but it involves some hackery and is of course completely

Step one: Shut down Bacula.
Step two: edit the volume's name in the SQL database (everywhere you
find it).
Step three: Start btape and use the 'writelabel' command to write the
new label to the tape.
Step four: Start Bacula again.

At this point, you should have your tape with the label you wrote to it
and the database showing the new name. I cannot guarantee though that
this won't wipe your data or screw up your catalog in some way.

Bacula itself has no function that would allow you to do this. The only
way to achieve this would be to make Bacula take it's list of files from
a script (see file-list in the manual at
http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION00147

Note that that script will be executed on the director, so you need to
find a way to have that script list all the files in question on the
client machine. (have a scheduled script on the client create the list
and this script pull and 'echo' it, connect to the remote machine via
SMB from this script directly and list the files, .).

 Did you specify --enable-batch-insert on your configuration?  I found 
 that in ReleaseNotes.

- From what I read, batch inserts should be enabled by default. I didn't
specifically enable them on my system and configure tells me:

Of course, the performance gains that you get from batch inserts are not
noticeable if you previously didn't have the database inserts as a
bottleneck. (ie if your DB previously didn't have a problem keeping up
with the inserts, this won't do much apart from maybe lowering the

 Then I'll be looking for help with two things:
 
   - translation - into whatever languages we can
   - distribution - post it to relevant websites
 
 In the meantime, suggestions for major highlights in this release are 
 very welcome.  I read through the ChangeLog, but the only big thing I 
 know of is Bat.


Going through what I summarized in the Freshmeat announcements, I
believe there are some performance improvements in:
- - Volume pruning
- - Backups, namely SQL inserts (batch inserts) and the use of
posix_fadvise() in the FD
- - restores (memory tree optimizations)
- - SQLite3 performance (PRAGMA synchronous=OFF)

New features seem to be:
- - heartbeat for all connections (untested)
- - improved volume reservation code (less conflicts in multi drive
autochangers, ...)
- - detection of file size/date change during backup (if enabled)
- - 'Recycle Pool' feature
- - pruned volumes are reusable immediately

Those are just copy/pastes from the Freshmeat summaries, there might be
others.

Greetings,
   Michel

Yes, it is possible. You just need to create the database there (check
the make_mysql_tables script) and then change the catalog entries in
bacula-dir accordingly.

 Could you be a bit more specific? Running either of the

 Moreover, for what its worth, the PGP signatures on both of the

I've seen some Antivirus packages freak out over NSISdl (H+B EDV a.k.a.
Avira's AntiVir complained about it being a trojan). My guess is that
some trojan writers use NSIS to install their stuff and subsequently
that gets put into the virus signatures.

Your best bet is to contact the Antivirus manufacturer and report this

In this case, the version you use is indeed the problem. None of the

Well the strict answer would be: No.

The more lenient one is: Maybe. You'll really have to test it on your
own. These things are not tested in the normal Bacula release cycle and
pretty much unsupported. So it may work or it may just fail. Your best

As long as they don't share the same storage devices and with some
hackery, yes.

You will need to:
- - change the catalog that it uses (bacula-dir.conf, the DB creation
scripts)
- - change all the ports (all .conf files)
- - make sure you're not using storage devices in both simultaneously
(bacula-sd.conf)

I printed mine (I just needed one single label for the Cleaning tape) on

'Normally, if you modify the FileSet Include or Exclude lists, the next

to yes, any changes you make to the FileSet Include or Exclude lists

This implies that the scope of the option is the 'forcing a full backup

Maybe we should change the sentence as follows?

It should. The way I understood it is that Bacula first determines what
job level to use. For that, it checks several things (schedule, is there
a full backup that's valid, ...) and one of them is the MD5 hash of the
FileSet definition. If that hash (stored at the time of the last
backup?) doesn't match the current one, Bacula upgrades the backup to
Full, unless 'Ignore Fileset Changes' is set. In the latter case, Bacula
may (or may not) run an Incremental/Differential as usual while taking
into account whatever you changed in the FileSet (ie if you added sth,
it should see it as new and back it up, if you removed sth, it shouldn't
back it up any more).

Hash: SHA1

Hello,

 Charles Sprickman wrote:
 Lastly, anyone here who has already made the switch, I'd love to hear 
 about how that went and what prompted you to switch.

As all the other items have already been answered, I'll just reply to
this bit. I moved away from Amanda (several years ago) for three reasons:


1. Amanda just stopped working for me due to its reliance on external
programs. I have to backup mostly Win32 machines which Amanda would do
through SMB. What I only found out after several months of getting
nowhere (I wasn't all too Linux savvy at the time) was that it used
smbclient for that and that smbclient had changed its output format
(they had added a single blank line and that had broken Amanda's ability
to back up my Windows machines). Bacula has a native File Daemon (agent)
for Win32 that does a great job at getting the files to the backup server.
2. The ability to append backups to tapes. The office doesn't have much
money, so using tapes efficiently by filling them to the brim is a
definite plus. Amanda wouldn't append to a tape hence wasting a lot of
space on them despite its scheduling. Bacula does this just fine,
provided you set up your tape drive correctly (use the btape tests, ...).
3. The ability to span backups over tapes. As the office grew, so did
their data and at some point in time, Amanda would simply have trouble
fitting jobs to the tapes. Bacula simply spans the job to the next
available tape when one is full (again, if the tape drive is set up
properly).

As for Amanda's 'smart scheduling' of jobs, I never really missed it. I
just put the appropriate resources to the task (a nice Quantum
Superloader 3 Autochanger that takes care of swapping the tapes as
required during the backup jobs) and never looked back.

Michel

Well, you could drop the config files onto the user's PCs via the

settings) would be very cool, it is also quite far away from what Bacula
is actually supposed to do: Taking backups.

The installer could also be changed to parse a specific config file (put
both in the same directory, run the installer and it does everything
according to its 'script') it's just a matter of finding somebody
able to do so and defining the 'best' way to do it. (Just throwing ideas
around here, I'm no coder and not savvy enough to actually build them.)

Re: [Bacula-users] Questions for Bacula Windows users ...

 Hello,
 
 If you are a user of Bacula on Windows, I would be interested in your 
 responses to the following:
 
 1. I am considering to change the default installation location for Bacula on 
 Windows to be the same as it was previously -- that is the \bacula directory 
 on the main disk.  The current installation places files in the standard 
 Windows locations, but IMO, it is very inconvenient because they are 
 extremely long names with spaces that are very hard to remember, and are
 sprayed all over the disk.

I definitely prefer the 'old' way of putting everything in c:\bacula and
have kept my FD installations that way when the new installer came out.
I don't care what M$ says, having the program in a directory that is not
OS language specific, doesn't contain spaces and is self contained
offers me certain advantages over their Program Files + Documents and
Settings + Registry mess, namely:

- - Language independant paths: I can use external scripts to update
Bacula. No need to push an installer and somehow coerce the Windows box
to run it so that it can resolve the pathnames 'locally': I can just
give an RPC command to shut down the FD, map the drive, place the new
files in the standard directory and have the FD service come up through
RPC again.)
- - No spaces in filenames: Obviously this avoids many issues with having
to quote pathnames in config files etc etc.
- - Everything in/under one directory: After running the uninstaller,
ensuring that everything is gone is easily done by wiping said
directory. Similarly, finding the configuration files for the program is
much easier that way than having to wade through Documents and
Settings\variable_username\(Local Settings\)Application Data.

Apart from it's what M$ wants, I do not see any advantage to actually
using their convention (unless people use roaming profiles, but I doubt
Bacula is a candidate for that). At least the config files of a program
should always stay with it. That's my, very biased, 2 Eurocents. ;)

That said, as I'm only using the Win32 FD, the defaults in the installer
doesn't really bother me. I simply unpack the files from it using 7-Zip
and then build my own or manually install the FD.

I don't think I can help with any of the other points, maybe the
regression scripts if that is doable in a VM and doesn't require any
hardware?

Greetings,
   Michel

Debian has dvd+rw-tools v7.0-7 in testing, there must be a patch in

 Thanks for the reply, John.  Unfortunately, this does not work for me.  
 As you can see from the transcript below, bacula thinks there are no

 Thanks!
 

Did you maybe set the File Retention lower than the Job retention?

If so, then your File Entries will be gone (even though the job is still

Have a look at bextract and bscan to extract files without catalog

 I was wondering if it was something like that.  However, I have

Bacula writes EOF (end of file) markers onto tapes to make restoring
faster (it uses these markers to skip/fast forward over the files it
doesn't need when restoring). By default, one such marker is written:

- - at every 1GB of a job.
- - at every end of a job (ie if you run 10 jobs that are all smaller than
1GB, you will have 10 'files' on your tape).

 This error message takes about a minute to appear (/dev/nst0 behaves the
 same way):
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# mtx -f /dev/st0 inquiry

As already mentioned, mtx is only for changers, not tape drives. As you mention 
in another mail you successfully found the drive under /dev/st0. Still I 
recommend NOT to use /dev/st0 and instead use /dev/nst0. The reason for this is 
that tape drives are usually represented through two device nodes, one 
/dev/stx and a corresponding /dev/nstx with the n standing for 
non-rewinding. What this means is that when you access the device through 
/dev/stx, it will auto-rewind when it gets closed by the software (and if the 
software doesn't expect that it may get very confused). The /dev/nstx devices 
will only rewind when told so by the software or manually.


 This comes back immediately, but it's not the format you recommend:

Yep, that's your tape drive (it is also accessible as a generic device, in 
addition to the two aforementioned 'tape' device nodes). As for your changer it 
is likely to come after sg2 (try sg3 or sg4) as it is 'behind' the tape drive 
in your /proc/scsi/scsi output:

 I don't know if this helps:
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev# cat /proc/scsi/scsi

   Type:   Medium Changer   ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Medium Changer = changer device, coming 'after' the tape drive (ULTRIUM-TD3)

Hope that helps.

By the way, if you're having trouble with the devices changing around (sg2 
becoming sg1 if your external drive is missing, ...) you should investigate 
'scsidev' (On Debian this is part of the 'scsitools' packages). When run, it 
will create aliases to your device that are based on the SCSI channel, 
ID/target and LUN numbers. That way you could run scsidev at boot time, and 
then refer to the 'hardcoded' links.

As an example here's my setup:

# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 00
  Vendor: CERTANCE Model: ULTRIUM 2Rev: 1914

Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 01
  Vendor: QUANTUM  Model: UHDL Rev: 0043
  Type:   Medium Changer   ANSI SCSI revision: 02

The ULTRIUM 2 is my drive, on host 0, channel 0, ID/target 5 and LUN 0
UHDL is my changer device (as seen in the 'Type) on host 0, channel 0, 
ID/target 5 and LUN1

The resulting scsidev device nodes are:
Tape drive: /dev/scsi/nsth0-0c0i5l0
Changer: /dev/scsi/sgh0-0c0i5l1

(Note the beginning of the name that represents 'nst', 'sg', ...)

Re: [Bacula-users] DHCP IP addresses

 Hi,
 I am experimenting with using a linux server with bacula ( director and 
 storage ) to backup windows clients on our network.
 I works well!
 BUT
 When the windows client machine is turned off for a long time it is 
 possible for it to get a new IP address from DHCP and then the backups 
 stop working because the director config file has the Address hard coded.
 Is there any remedy for this?

Hmm, I know there's a command called 'setip' that's supposed to allow
clients to communicate their IP to the directory, but I have no clue how
to impement it.

In my case, I've simply told the clients to update the nameserver with
their IPs and supplied their DNS names to Bacula.

Greetings,
Michel

 I think you misunderstand me. I know Bacula can handle other devices

 It is not that simple. Bacula does work with some non-SCSI drives, but the 
 only ones I know of are Windows drivers (just confirmed by Robert) and in the 

Bacula DID work very well with my old OnStream DI-30 (IDE) drive but
initially it took a lot of work and the help of both Kern and Willem,
the osst driver developer, to get it to run. With OnStream gone
bankrupt, their proprietary tape format has pretty much disappeared and
hence the drives I have have become useless (can't get any tapes for
them any more).

Your best bet really is to get the driver developers involved.

Should work. (At least I'm using 2.0.2 Win32 clients with my 2.0.3 Linux
director.)

[Bacula-users] Adding an autochanger to bweb...

2007-03-08 Thread Michel Meyers
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I think I already asked this one but can't recall getting an answer to it:
While playing around in bweb, I found an 'add autochanger' button,
clicking it, I found a form to fill in with an empty drop down box (not
showing my autochanger). I traced where bweb gets this data from and
found out that the Device table in my MySQL database is empty.

Now of course my question: Is that normal? When should that table be
populated or what could cause it to be empty? And what benefits do I
actually get from telling bweb about my autochanger (or is this a
non-working bit that's under development)?

Greetings,
   Michel
