[Bacula-users] Tuning SD/FD/DIR Maximum Concurrent Jobs

[Mingus Dew]

Dear All,
 I've been using Bacula for about 7 years and have never quite
understood how to properly configure these values in relation to each
other. In terms of an FD on a normal client I will typically use a Maximum
Concurrent Jobs = 5 setting in bacula-fd.conf.

On my "Backup Server" I run the FD, SD, and DIR. The FD I've set that
parameter to 30, and 45 in the DIR and FD. I use the FD on the server to
backup files from NFS mounts and locally written backups from client types
that can only ftp/scp/sftp files (can't install bacula-fd on them)

What I'm really after is some best practices or guidelines to setting
Max Concurrent Jobs in all the resources based on number of clients, backup
jobs, and number storage devices. I

t seems that every now and then I've got too many jobs in queue waiting for
available storage devices. Sometimes the devices go out to lunch. They
think they are reserved, but don't actually have anything mounted and won't
mount any new volumes.

Thanks,
Shon

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!

[Bacula-users] SchedTime Versus StartTime

[Mingus Dew]

Dear All,
  I am looking for a solution to a specifc problem. Occasionally and
for a variety of reasons, the Job queue will be have many Jobs waiting to
start while other Jobs complete and resources become available. This will
sometimes cause a job to have a StartTime hours after its SchedTime. This
doesn't happen very often, but has caused problems for application
availability when delayed until peak business hours.

 Is there a way to have Bacula not Start a queued job if the real
StartTime is outside a defined window?

Yours,
Shon

[Bacula-users] Failing Windows Backups

[Mingus Dew]

Dear All,
 I'm assuming that setting "Heartbeat Interval = 300" is the same as 5
minutes. I want to be clear on it's usage though.. it would be for when a
Firewall or Router is not honoring KeepAlive?

 I'm having issues with backup failures on a mix of Windows clients.
These all seem to have bsock.c timeout issues. Sometimes the jobs complete,
mostly the FD completes writing files to SD, but loses connection to the
Director and doesn't write the job to the database. It's become a hot
button issue for me that I can't seem to resolve.

 I've added the Heartbeat Interval to the Director and FD configs. I've
verified that the security team is not seeing any dropped connections in
their FW logs, and the timeout is 4h on connections. I've curated the
FileSet to minimize the data transferred. The systems are all VMs and some
version of Windows (Windows 2k8, 2k12). Other than that I haven't been able
to find anything common.

 I'd appreciate any ideas. The server is Bacula 7.0.5 and clients are
all 5.x

Yours,
Shon

[Bacula-users] Issue with In-Changer Media after replacing Tape Library

[Mingus Dew]

Dear All,
  I recently replaced a malfunctioning LTO5 TL2000 tape library with a
new LTO6 TL4000 tape library. I've been having a lot of failing tape jobs
since then, and I think I've finally rooted out the problem, but am not
sure where to begin fixing it.

Essentially, when I do a query to show what Volumes Bacula thinks are in
the changer, it is still showing me Volumes and Slots from the previous
library mixed with Volumes and Slots from the new, higher capacity library.

I'm using Bacula Community Edition 7.0.5 on CentOS 6.7 x86_64. Here is the
output from bconsole query. The old library entries all have Storage
"TL2000" and Media Type "LTO5". Any guidance is very appreciated.

Re: [Bacula-users] Storage Devices not displaying in bconsole status

[Mingus Dew]

Dear Ben,
  Thank you very much. Part of my mind had wondered if it was a change
in display behavior as I only recently upgraded to 7.0. As you can see from
the configs they are all on the same SD instance. I think it doesn't
deduplicate the other Disk storage because it's using a different local IP
in it's config.

Yours,
Shon

[Bacula-users] Storage Devices not displaying in bconsole status

[Mingus Dew]

Dear All,
 I am having an issue where when I run a status command in bconsole,
select "Storage", I am only presented with the option for status on 3 of my
defined storage resources. I am trying to figure out why this is, but am
being left with a blank. Backups do seem to be running at present, but I
should have a lot more devices to status.

[Bacula-users] bconsole status is VERY slow

[Mingus Dew]

Dear All,
 I'm trying to figure out why it sometimes takes 40 minutes for that
status command to return results. It wasn't always this way and I'm not
sure even remotely what might be happening. This seems to be occurring even
when there are only a few (less than 10) jobs in queue. Any ideas?

[Bacula-users] How to use multiple volumes from the same pool, simultaneously?

[Mingus Dew]

Dear All,
 I would like some advice on how to configure Bacula so that volumes
from my Disk pools can be read for Copying at the same time that other
volumes in the same pools are being written for backups.
 Currently if there is a backup writing, none of my copy jobs will run
since the device is mounted with the volume being written. I've seen
reference to a way to get Storage Pools to use multiple devices but can't
find it now or how to properly configure.

Re: [Bacula-users] Is Truncate just broken?

[Mingus Dew]

Dear Kern,
 Thanks for the explanation. I'll have to dig deeper on my end to see
what else could be at the root of the issue. As explained, my disk volumes
are on ZFS, but again this should not be an issue and was working for me
previously.

Sincerely,

  Hello,

 ftruncate did not seem to work over NFS or at least on certain versions,
 so I implemented code that if after doing an ftruncate, the file size (via

 not
 ideal, because it may create it with different permissions and/or owner,
 group but it seemed to work.  If you drop the SD's user from root to
 bacula, depending on how you have defined your NFS volume permissions,
 the SD may be unable do the delete and recreate.

 Nothing has changed in that code for many years.

[Bacula-users] Maximum Concurrent Jobs for Devices

[Mingus Dew]

Dear All,
 I'm trying to understand how to properly use this directive and if its
possible to configure Bacula the way I think I can using this directive.
I'm using Version: 5.2.13 (19 February 2013) i386-pc-solaris2.10 solaris
5.10

The manual at
http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/main/main/New_Features_in_5_2_x.html#SECTION00361000says

Maximum Concurrent Jobs is a new Device directive in the Storage Daemon
configuration permits setting the maximum number of Jobs that can run
concurrently on a specified Device. Using this directive, it is possible to
have different Jobs using multiple drives, because when the Maximum
Concurrent Jobs limit is reached, the Storage Daemon will start new Jobs on
any other available compatible drive. This facilitates writing to multiple
drives with multiple Jobs that all use the same Pool.

I think this means that if you have Device A and its running 5 jobs from
Pool A, and you've set the Max Concurrent Jobs = 5 for Device A, then the
next job from Pool A should use Device A1.

Where this all breaks down for me is how to configure Device, Storage,
Pool, Job (what directives to put where so that Bacula automatically
switches devices but keeps the right initial storage and stays in the right
pool and right devices.

The way I envision using this is currently I have a Full Device and an
Incremental Device for disk backups. I use MaxJobs=1 so that each Job is
its own Volume. As we know, only 1 volume can be mounted at a time. This
limits me to running 1 job in a Pool at a time in my current configuration.
Im hoping I can add multiple Devices and Bacula will start being able to
run more Jobs in each Pool.

Any help understanding if this will work and how to configure it, or just a
push in the right direction to understand this directive is very
appreciated.

Thankfully Yours,
Shon

Re: [Bacula-users] Need help understanding and applying some Retention/Recycle concepts

[Mingus Dew]

Dear Ana,
Thanks for the response. It took a few days to find this in the Inbox.
I see what you're saying. What else besides Max Volumes tells Bacula not to
label anymore. I kind of wanted it to manage that on its own, otherwise
I'll be changing that everytime I add a new client. Then of course if I
remove clients I'll have to update the pool, delete the volumes I want
gone, update the pool again. Doesn't seem very efficient way to use
something that Autolabels. I don't know, but I do understand what you
linked to. Thanks.

Yours,
Shon

 Hi Shon,

 The question is that bacula needs more than just the retention period to
 recycle volumes when you´re using disk volumes and automatic labeling. If
 you don´t have a limit of volumes in your pool or something else that tells
 bacula to not label any more volumes, just use an older one that can be
 recycled (retention period was reached).

 Take a look at the link I posted answering you.

 Regards,
 Ana

Re: [Bacula-users] bconsole - connection refused

[Mingus Dew]

Just wanted to update everyone on what happened.

I found that I was hitting the ulimit, which was set very low to 256.
I tried to set that higher but found it was being ignored. I then found its
an issue with Solaris stdio.h and limiting to 256 descriptors.
To work around, I modified the bacula startup scripts to set the ulimit and
set and ENV variable to overcome the stdio.h limitation

Thanks

[Bacula-users] Need help understanding and applying some Retention/Recycle concepts

[Mingus Dew]

Dear All,
 I am running Bacula Community Edition 5.2.13 on Solaris 10 x86. I am
trying to understand why Bacula doesn't seem to recycle when I think it
should.
 I have recently moved to a configuration where each Volume contains
only a single Job. I had envisioned that when the Volume Retention period
was reached, the Volume would be set to Recycle and reused. Instead what
I'm finding is that Bacula is taking much longer to Recycle Volumes than I
think it should and is instead creating more new Volumes.

This is a relevant Pool Config

Pool {
  Name = Archimedes-FS_Full
  Pool Type = Backup
  Storage = Archimedes_Full_Files
  Recycle = Yes
  AutoPrune = Yes
  Volume Retention = 14d
  Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
  Label Format = Archimedes-FS_Full-
  Next Pool = Archimedes_LTO5_Tapes
}

This is a standard Job Config using Volumes in that Pool

Job {
  Name = ar-web1_Daily_Disk
  Type = Backup
  Client = ar-web1.archimedes
  FileSet = Archimedes_Solaris_FileSystems
  Schedule = Incr_0300_Wed_Full
  Pool = Archimedes-FS_Incr
  JobDefs = DiskDefs
  Full Backup Pool = Archimedes-FS_Full
  Incremental Backup Pool = Archimedes-FS_Incr
  Messages = Standard
  Write Bootstrap = /mnt/backup1/archimedes/bacula/bootstrap/%n.bsr
}

This is the Client definition

Client {
  Name = ar-web1.archimedes
  Address = 10.0.6.101
  FDPort = 9102
  Catalog = Mentora_Catalog
  Password = m7pJY91cdgeYjknTffyj3/vBd+vpRzh6briOhZV5yWWN
  AutoPrune = yes
}


As you can see, the only place where I define retention period is in the
Pool. Nothing should be overriding this. Yet, here are the Volumes. I can
see that the period between LastWritten is 7 days, coinciding with my Full
Backup Schedule, however Bacula should not be retaining 4 weeks of these
files, only 2 (14d)

 108 | Archimedes-FS_Full-0108 | Recycle   |   1 |  1 |
   0 |1,209,600 |   1 |0 | 0 | Archimedes_File |

[Bacula-users] bconsole - connection refused

[Mingus Dew]

Dear All,
 I'm having an issue with bconsole not being able to connect to the
Director

bconsole[18490]: [ID 702911 daemon.error] bsock.c:138 Unable to connect to
Director daemon on mt-back4.mentora.:9101. ERR=Connection refused

I *think* what has happened is that so many jobs are in queue that I've
exceeded the number of connections the Directory allows? This actually
happened to me a couple weeks ago after an incredibly large backup job
backed up the queue.

I was wondering how to more accurately troubleshoot this, if I can recover
without killing, etc...

PLEASE - do not respond about authentication, etc... This is not an
authentication issue.

Thanks,
Shon

 Yes, you are right. It is not an authorization issue, because the error
 is: ERR=Connection refused. :)

 There is no Bacula Director listening at: mt-back4.mentora.:9101. Check it.

[Bacula-users] Where can Catalog be used?

[Mingus Dew]

Dear All,
 I've been reading the manual, but can only find 1 place where
Catalog is used.. in the Client definition. Obviously its defined in the
Director definition, but I can only find it used in Client.

 Does anyone know anywhere else it can be used? I tried in Pool, but
that violates Bacula's constraint on all Pools being defined in all
Catalogs.

Yours,
Shon

 Hi Shon,

 just define your new catalogs in the director's config and assign the
 catalog to the new clients:

 Catalog {
   Name = catalog1
   dbname = catalog1; user = bacula; password = XXX
 }

 Catalog {
   Name = catalog2
   dbname = catalog2;user = bacula; password = YY
 }

 .

 Client {
   Name = client1
   Address = client1.example.com
   FDPort = 9102
   Catalog = catalog1
 ...


 Client {
   Name = client2
   Address = client2.example.com
   FDPort = 9102
   Catalog = catalog2

 Cheers, Uwe

[Bacula-users] Question on Copy Jobs - Selection Type PoolUncopiedJobs

[Mingus Dew]

Dear All,
 I have an existing Bacula installation that uses separate disk pools
for Incremental and Full backups. I have setup a Copy Job to tape pool
setup using the PoolUncopiedJobs Selection Type for the Full disk pool
only.

 I now wish to set this up for the Incremental pool, but only from now
moving forward. My concern is that the first run of the Copy Job will
select all the current Jobs in the Incremental Pool, which would put 3
previous weeks of Inrementals onto 1 weeks tapes.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to avoid this?

Sincere Thanks,
Shon

Re: [Bacula-users] Pools not updating Attributes

Dear Uwe,
 This in fact did work. I had to remove the volumes I no longer

then the Max Volumes finally updated after stopping, restarting Bacula

 Hi Mingus,

 check the list archives, I recently also started a discussion on this
 subject. For now, I've found the only way to shrink a pool is to

 - change  reload your bacula config

 - delete extra volumes (hopefully the oldest ones) manually from the
  pool in bconsole using the delete volume command

 - run update pool in bconsole for the affected pool

 Only then will the pool attributes actually update and reflect the
 changed number of max. volumes.

 Naturally all of this can be scripted and I hope I will eventually get
 around to it (I recently changed the incr pool max volumes vor ~120
 clients and don't feel like repeating all of the above steps for each
 client manually ;)

 I've asked around if this is a bacula  bug, but apparently this is
 considered a feature ;-)

 All the best, Uwe

[Bacula-users] Broken Job History

[Mingus Dew]

Dear All,
 I am running Bacula 5.2.10. I have the following configured in
bacula-dir.conf

Statistics Retention = 90 days

However, Bacula seems to have stopped updating the JobHisto well over
a year ago. I am uncertain as to why this wouldn't be working.

Any Ideas?

Yours,
Shon

[Bacula-users] Pools not updating Attributes

[Mingus Dew]

Dear All,
 I am running bacula-5.2.10 on Solaris 10 x86. I've noticed an
issue recently where I've wanted to restrict further restrict the
Maximum Volumes in a couple of Pools.
I edited the config and changed Maximum Volumes = 3. I then reloaded
and updated the Pools from Resource. It says it successfully updates.
I've also tried restarting bacula-dir and then updating the Pools from
Resource. Here is my config, names changed to protect the innocent.

Pool {
  Name = Company-FS_Full
  Pool Type = Backup
  Storage = Company_Files
  Recycle = Yes
  AutoPrune = Yes
  Volume Retention = 14d
  Maximum Volume Jobs = 25
  Maximum Volumes = 3
  Label Format = Company-FS_Full-
  Next Pool = Company_LTO5_Tapes
}

Pool {
  Name = Company-FS_Incr
  Pool Type = Backup
  Storage = Company_Files
  Recycle = Yes
  AutoPrune = Yes
  Volume Retention = 14d
  Maximum Volume Jobs = 150
  Maximum Volumes = 3
  Label Format = Company-FS_Incr-
  Next Pool = Company_LTO5_Tapes
}

If I run list pools in bconsole, I see this:
++---+-+-+--+-+
| PoolId | Name  | NumVols | MaxVols | PoolType |
LabelFormat |
++---+-+-+--+-+

| 20 | Company-FS_Full   |   5 |   5 | Backup   |
Company-FS_Full-|
| 21 | Company-FS_Incr   |   4 |   5 | Backup   |
Company-FS_Incr-|

So not only is Bacula not updating the Maximum Volumes, but its still
creating additional volumes still (I had removed some volumes)

Can anyone suggest how I can even begin to troubleshoot this?

Sincerely Yours,
Shon

 This is by design. The pool resource is a template to create new
 volumes. Not alter existing volumes. To fix open bconsole and

 update pool from resource

This is precisely what I did. I'm not trying to alter existing
volumes. I'm trying to limit volume creation in the pool. It did not
affect the display of Max Vols in the output, it did not limit Volume
Creation in the Pool, which is by design what Maximum Volumes is
supposed to do.




 then

 update all volumes in pool

 I have a device for each of my tape drives along with the autochanger

 or either drive of my 2 drive exabyte magnum. With that said I have to
 warn you that although this has worked for me since 2006 the

[Bacula-users] Perpetual Issues w/ 2 Drive Autochangers not utilizing 2nd drive

[Mingus Dew]

Dear Bacula Users,
I have been using Bacula for about 4 years now. I recently moved
from a single drive LTO-3 Exabyte Autochanger to a 2 drive LTO-5
TL-2000 Autochanger. All the devices are recognized properly and I can
read/write from both jobs. The issue I'm having is that Bacula almost
never uses the 2nd drive. It does occasionally, but I can't figure out
a rhyme or reason for it.
 I've tried setting Prefer Mounted Volumes = No in a JobDefs
resource for Tape jobs, but still no luck. It does work, just randomly
and not in a way that seem configurable, predictable, or useful.
Can anyone help?
Yours,
Shon

[Bacula-users] Synthetic, Copy, Restore from either?

[Mingus Dew]

Dear All,
 I was hoping someone could clarify for me a few points regarding
Synthetic Jobs, Copy Jobs, and restoring from Copy Jobs

The Synthetic job uses the last Full backup and subsequent Incremental
backups to create a new Full backup from current Volume data into a
new Pool/Volume. Does this new Job become the Full backup that new
Incremental or Full jobs refer to for change deltas and determining
files to backup?

If I have Copy Jobs configured to copy the week's Incremental backups
to tape from disk volume, does the Synthetic backup consider these
jobs at all, or only the actual Incremental jobs?

In the case of Copy Jobs, I imagine the purpose to be having the data
on disk and on tape. Is it possible to restore directly from a Copy
Job?

Yours,
Shon

[Bacula-users] Bacula Events and Python Scripting

[Mingus Dew]

Dear All,
 I am currently truncating volumes on disk manually. In my disk
pools I keep 5 volumes (max volumes = 5) . Each of these volumes is
limited with max jobs = 6 * N-clients (incremental volumes) and max
jobs = 1 * N-clients (full volumes). All the volumes have the Action
On Purge value set to Truncate. Each week I purge and truncate the
oldest volume manually.

 I intend to write a Python script to do this, but was hoping to
get some advice on Bacula events and feedback on my plan of attack.

The documentation states that A Bacula event is a point in the Bacula
code where Bacula will call a subroutine (actually a method) that you
have defined in the Python StartUp script. Events correspond to some
significant event such as a Job Start, a Job End, Bacula needs a new
Volume Name, ... When your script is called, it will have access to
all the Bacula variables specific to the Job (attributes of the Job
Object), and it can even call some of the Job methods (subroutines) or
set new values in the Job attributes, such as the Priority. You will
see below how the events are used.

However, is there some other documentation where a list of actual
defined Events is, or is an event anything we can define in the
method?

I envision that the Python code will work something like:

When a Full Job ends,
Check Volumes in the Pool for status Used
Select the oldest written Volume and Purge it with Action = Truncate

When an Incr Job ends,
Check how many previous Incr Jobs have run since last Full
If the Incr Job is the last before next Full,
Check Volumes in the Pool for status Used
Select the oldest written Volume and Purge it with Action = Truncate

Shon

[Bacula-users] Using Multi-Drive Autochangers - My Autochanger is only utilizing 1 Tape Drive

[Mingus Dew]

Dear All,
 I am running bacula 5.0.3 on Solaris 10 x86. I have a Dell TL2000
24-slots Autoloader Library with 2 HH LTO5 Drives. The changer works
and the device will load tapes and write backups. However, I'm kind of
in the dark as to how to get it to use the 2nd drive. The
documentation is real thin in this regard. I've setup the Drive
Index parameter and listed both devices in the Autochanger config. I
was reading about a PreferMountedVolumes but that doesn't seem to be
the solution to my issue. I'd like to know if

Job A in Pool A writing to Tape 0 can run at that same time as Job B
in Pool B writing on Tape 1

How to make Bacula use both Drives? I purchased the unit because
Bacula docs says it can use multi-drive autochangers. I also purchased
it because a single-tape drive just isn't enough to capture everything
daily to tape.

Thanks for the help,
Shon

 Yes. That should work (and does for me) without much fuss. You get
 into a more difficult situation if you want both drives to use the
 same pool at the same time.

Can you look at my config and see if there is any missing or incorrect
element? I was also wondering if MaxConcurrentJobs for Devices might
need to be set. Though this seems to apply to getting 2 drives running
jobs from the same pool.

[Bacula-users] Help - Client Status shows Backup OK - Job not in Catalog

[Mingus Dew]

Dear All,
     I am running Version: 5.0.3 (04 August 2010) i386-pc-solaris2.10
solaris 5.10  Bacula.
I have a situation where backups are running and the client status
reports the backups as OK, but they jobs do not appear when I query
List all backups for a Client. I know that the jobs aren't making it
into the Catalog because I have a Nagios check that runs against the
Catalog DB for Client Job status. The backup ran as the client
reports, but the check and sql query don't find it in the Catalog.

This seems to happen during when my very large backups are running
with a status of Dir inserting Attributes. However, I don't get any
error in the job status from Bacula and am not getting any MySQL, DIR,
SD, or FD errors. The very large job backs up 239,897,443 files.
This just might be more than MySQL can handle. I'm just wondering why
I'm not getting any errors from Bacula about it, or where to find them
that I'm not picking up on them.

Also, right now my Director is hung. The very large job is Dir
inserting Attributes and there is a job with fatal error. Anytime
I've ever had fatal error, I've had to restart the director. It just
won't recover, cancel the job, process other queued jobs, nothing.
Trying to cancel the job results in the message that its marked to be
cancelled, but bconsole then never returns to a prompt.

I'm almost wondering if I've reached the end of the capabilities of
Bacula (probably not Bacula's fault, but just too much for MySQL or
PostgreSQL to bear with not any other viable backend) I tuned for 15
million rows originally, don't know if I can tune for what is probably
a billion rows or more.

Yours,
Shon

[Bacula-users] Help w/ failed Jobs while Dir Inserting Attributes

[Mingus Dew]

Dear Bacula Users,
 I am running v5.0.3 on Solaris 10 x86 platform with MySQL 5.1 as the
backend. I am currently having a problem where a few very large (15 million+
files) backups to the tape device are causing disk backup jobs to fail.

You can see that the first job is Dir inserting Attributes this is the
large tape job. The disk jobs that are also Dir inserting attributes fail.
They run, start to insert Attributes, and then fail

 Start with debugging.
 Assuming you have installed it under %programfiles%\bacula, do this
 (supposedly you will need to do this using an administrative account):
 1) Run cmd.exe
 2) cd %programfiles%\bacula
 3) Run: bacula-fd.exe -c %programfiles%\bacula\bacula-fd.conf -t
   This should check your config file (specified via -c; you have to
   specify it explicitly because otherwise Bacula tends to look for it
   somewhere under your current user's %appdata%).
 If Bacula reports any errors, fix them.
 If it still doesn't work after fixing any errors detected,
 4) Run: bacula-fd.exe -c %programfiles%\bacula\bacula-fd.conf -d 100
   Which will create a trace file (called whatever.trace in the
   bacula's installation directory with whatever being the name of
   this FD instance read from the configuration file).
   Look at that file to see what happens when bacula-fd starts up.

[Bacula-users] Hardware Encryption?

[Mingus Dew]

Fellow Bacula Users,
 I am in search of a hardware based encryption solution that is
OS/Storage independent. Whether it be a new drive or something else even
Bacula compatible. The encryption provided within Bacula itself is not
sufficient for my needs and during my last search I was unable to find an
LTO-4 drive with encryption that was capable of encrypting tapes w/o
interaction from the Backup program (essentially only being supported by the
software of the vendor itself)

So some responses from fellow users on what you're doing for encryption
of Tapes outside of Bacula would be great.

Thanks,
Shon

[Bacula-users] Need some Solaris advice - Bacula, MySQL memory leak?

[Mingus Dew]

Hi all,
 I recently upgraded to MySQL 5.1.57 from Blastwave packages. I then
upgraded to Bacula 5.0.3
I read somewhere about a memory leak on Solaris and think I'm encountering
it. I was wondering if this is a leak in Bacula, or in MySQL.
I'm running Solaris 10 x86_64 127128-11

Basically, the system just slowly dies, less memory is available, the memory
isn't released when I stop Bacula or MySQL and I have to reboot the box.

If its MySQL, I was hoping someone could point me to a fix or suggest a
version that I can compile myself that isn't subject to this. If its Bacula,
what is
the recommended solution?

Thanks,
Shon

[Bacula-users] Synthetic to Tape

[Mingus Dew]

I want to setup Synthetic backups and write them to tape. I suspect that I
can use the Next Pool directive to point to a pool containing tape
volumes.
My intention is that I will be taking the last Full and subsequent
Incrementals from the Disk-To-Disk backup jobs and writing them to tape as a
Synthetic backup.

I was wondering if I will be able to restore from the synthetic job, or
exactly how a restore from this backup would work.

Thanks,
Shon

[Bacula-users] Job, File, Volume Retention?

[Mingus Dew]

All,
 I recall reading about this long ago, when I read the manual like a
book. I'm having a hard time finding the information now,

I have configured Job and File Retention periods in the Job Definitions and
then Volume Retention periods in the Pool Definitions

Job Retention = 30d
File Retention = 30d

Volume Retention = 14d

Which retention period will be the one implemented, or will this produce
some resultant Retention that I'm not aware of?

Thank you,
Shon

Re: [Bacula-users] Tuning for large (millions of files) backups?

[Mingus Dew]

Henrik,
 Have you had any problems with slow queries during backup or restore
jobs? I'm thinking about
http://bugs.bacula.org/view.php?id=1472specifically, and considering
that the bacula.File table already has 73
million rows in it and I haven't even successfully ran the big job yet.

Just curious as a fellow Solaris deployer...

Thanks,
Shon

 You *really* need to upgrade to MySQL 5 and change to InnoDB - there is no
 way in hell that MySQL 4 + MyISAM is going to perform decent in your
 situation.
 Solaris 10 is a Tier 1 platform for MySQL so the latest versions are
 always available from www.mysql.com in the native pkg format so there
 really
 is no excuse.

 We run our Bacula Catalog MySQl servers on Solaris (OpenSolaris) so
 perhaps I can give you some pointers.

 Our smallest Bacula DB is currently ~70 GB (381,230,610 rows).

 Since you are using Solaris 10 I assume that you are going to run MySQL
 off ZFS - in that case you need to adjust the ZFS recordsize for the
 filesystem that is going to hold your InnoDB datafiles to match the
 InnoDB block size.

 If you are using ZFS you should also consider getting yourself a fast
 SSD as a SLOG (or to disable the ZIL entirely if you dare) - all InnoDB
 writes to datafiles are O_SYNC and benefit *greatly* from an SSD in
 terms of write / transaction speed.

 If you have enough CPU power to spare you should try turning on
 compression for the ZFS filesystem holding the datafiles - it also can
 accelerate DB writes / reads but YMMV.

 Lastly, our InnoDB related configuration from my.cnf :

 # InnoDB options skip-innodb_doublewrite
 innodb_data_home_dir = /tank/db/
 innodb_log_group_home_dir = /tank/logs/
 innodb_support_xa = false
 innodb_file_per_table = true
 innodb_buffer_pool_size = 20G
 innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 2
 innodb_log_buffer_size = 128M
 innodb_log_file_size = 512M
 innodb_log_files_in_group = 2
 innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct = 90



 Thanks,
 Shon

Henrik,
 I really appreciate your reply, particularly as a fellow
Bacula-on-Solaris user. I do not have my databases on ZFS, only my Bacula
storage. I'll probably have to tune for local disk.

Re: [Bacula-users] Tuning for large (millions of files) backups?

[Mingus Dew]

Bruno,
 Not so rude at all :) You've made me think of 2 questions

How difficult is it (or procedure for) converting to InnoDB and what exactly
will this gain in performance increase?

Also, you mention Postgresql and batch inserts. Does Bacula not use batch
inserts with MySQL by default?
I'm assuming I'm using batch inserts because Bacula uses a table called
'batch'

 Rude answer :

 If you really want to use Mysql drop the myisam to innodb.
 But you don't want to use mysql for that job, just use Postgresql fine
 tuned with batch insert enabled.

Re: [Bacula-users] ZFS and Bacula

[Mingus Dew]

I have been using this setup for awhile. You absolutely must disable Bacula
compression on the ZFS Devices within the SD or for the specific Pools that
have volumes on the ZFS. Doubling up encryption can actually increase file
sizes and also lead to data errors.

  I'm planning a Bacula setup with ZFS on the SDs (media being disk, not

  Also, last I tried, with ZFS on a test box, I enabled compression, the
 lzjb algorithm (very lightwegith and quite decent compression). For 'normal'
 data, I usually get 30%+ compression with this, but for the data backed up
 with bacula, it didn't look that good, compression being down to 3-5%. Any
 idea what might cause this?

 If the data coming from bacula are already compressed by the bacula-fd
 there's little space for improvement.
 In your type of setup, I would disable compression on bacula-fd increasing
 the speed of backup, your sd doing it by zfs mechanism.

  Mingus, this is why I always create an empty schedule named NEVER.  To

  bacula doesn't complain if the job resource has no schedule.

 No, it doesn't.  But if you have a Schedule directive in the relevant
 JobDefs resource, and you want to disable scheduling of a job based on
 that JobDefs, then you need a null Schedule to override it with.

[Bacula-users] Disabled Jobs Question

[Mingus Dew]

I am running Bacula 5.0.1 and have a question about Disabled Jobs.

I have some jobs configured that do not have an active schedule (i.e.,
bacula never automatically queues or runs them)
Instead, these jobs are run by a remote user that logs into the backup
server and runs a script to run the configured job on demand.

If I disable these jobs via console, will this prevent them from being run
by bconsole?

Thanks,

 I believe disabling jobs via bconsole just temporarily disables any
 schedule for that job until you restart the director in which case the
 job returns to its normal schedule. Well that is how it has worked for
 me. I have been trying to kill a job for months, I keep doing it in
 bconsole only to forget to change the schedule only to have the job
 come back after I restart the director.. I know its easy to edit the
 file. I did not actually think about this or I would have solved it a
 long time ago with exactly what you did. I mean get rid of the
 schedule. Or was the problem I used the default job as a base. I am
 babbling sorry, too much coffee . end here.

[Bacula-users] High Resource Utilization with Bacula FD on VMWare Virtual Machines

[Mingus Dew]

All,
 I have ESXi 4.0 servers clustered and hosting a variety of Virtual
Machines. The VM's vary between RHEL, Solaris, Windows, and Debian. I run
various versions of the bacula-fd (5.x, 2.x, 3.x) on these VMs for taking OS
backups. No matter what the FD version though, I am seeing high IOwait on
the VM that the backup is running on, and then also problems with resource
availability on other VMs while the FD is active.

 Just wondering if anyone else has experience similiar issues, what the
details of your issue are, and any possible permutations.

Thanks,

 Hi Shon,

 I was having the same problem.

 To actually truncate volumes you have to manually run the bconsole
 command mentioned in the docs or let bacula run it with a RunScript.

 For example:
  *purge volume action=truncate storage=File allpools

Re: [Bacula-users] Bug or Feature Request - Config token too long?

Thank you. Great tip. I won't implement because I'd need to update though.
But it did lead me to the right place.

  This is the only method I can use as the other methods for selecting Job

 It should be possible to create on query, but I don't know how right
 now :-)

 I haven't checked the actual length of your queries, but if they
 really exceed Baculas built-in limit, you might want a function
 defined in the catalog database. Should be possible with PostgreSQL
 and MySQL, as far as I know.

 Cheers,

 Arno

I'd like to know the recommended way to added previously used tapes back to

I have already purged the jobs that were on the tapes and updated the Pool

For the tapes that contained data, should I rewind them manually? What about
the status? Most of them have a status of Purged currently.

[Bacula-users] Need help w/ Volume Status Error

[Mingus Dew]

All,
 Using Bacula 3.0.2 on Solaris 10_x86.  I have a question regarding how
to properly recover tapes from a status of Error. I also have some
questions on reassigning tapes from one Storage Pool to a different Pool.

I am not sure how this status came to be, but I currently have a few tapes
with this status:

|  27 | A00024 | 56.15 | Exabyte_224 |   12 | TSN_Tapes |
LTO-3 | Error

In this state, I can't use them. I don't particularly care about the data
that is on them, but I would like to get them back into the Pool and
useable.
For example, Can I just delete the Volume from Bacula and rewind/relable the
tape?  How would I do so?

Really this same question would apply to the tapes in my Storage Pool. I
have discontinued backups for a customer and can erase their tapes. I'd like
to reuse these tapes and put them into a new Storage Pool. What is the best
method of doing so?

Thanks in advance,
Shon

 these?).

 Hard to say without further information - how are the jobs configured,
 what is actually stalled, and what's the state of the affected daemon?

  I eventually have to cancel the jobs or all the other jobs get stuck
  waiting execution. When I cancel I get the following error:

 Sounds surprisingly similar to the thread Canceling jobs in 3.0.0
 results in Terminated with Error.

  23-Apr 19:13 mt-back4.director JobId 27584: Fatal error:
   Storage daemon didn't accept Device Advisen_ZFS_Storage because:

  However, these resources do exist, are defined, and are written to daily
  by other jobs. Also I've run bacula-dir -t -c bacula-dir.conf just to
  see if any errors come up, but nothing does.
 
  Any ideas?

 At least this seems be a problem affecting both 2.4.4 and 3.0.0. Might
 be worth a bug report.

[Bacula-users] Bacula not finding SD resource properly defined and used by other jobs

[Mingus Dew]

All,
 I'm running Bacula 2.4.4 (not gone to 3.0 just yet) on Solaris 10_x86.
I am having an issue where a couple of new jobs that I've created are
hanging indefinitely (why doesn't they watchdog catch these?).

I eventually have to cancel the jobs or all the other jobs get stuck
waiting execution. When I cancel I get the following error:

23-Apr 19:13 mt-back4.storage JobId 27584: Fatal error:
 Device Advisen_ZFS_Storage with MediaType Advisen_File requested by
DIR not found in SD Device resources.
23-Apr 19:13 mt-back4.director JobId 27584: Fatal error:
 Storage daemon didn't accept Device Advisen_ZFS_Storage because:
 3924 Device Advisen_ZFS_Storage not in SD Device resources.

However, these resources do exist, are defined, and are written to daily by
other jobs. Also I've run bacula-dir -t -c bacula-dir.conf just to see if
any errors come up, but nothing does.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Shon

Bruno,
 Not rude at all. I wouldn't have known that to be in the Manual.

Re: [Bacula-users] Jobs not completing, but not erroring?

[Mingus Dew]

So when I find these jobs that are hung. They all do have Sleep state and a
longer time value. I'm just unsure what that means from a MySQL perspective.
The thread is in a sleep state. To my way of thinking that would mean that
Bacula has opened the thread but isn't using it.

What could the director be waiting on?

 So its got a long sleep time (6179). So what? That doesn't really
 illuminate anything. Its not like MySQL is starved for resources. I'm not
 buying that this is a MySQL issue though.

[Bacula-users] gdb trace output?

[Mingus Dew]

I've seen from time to time other people posting gdb trace output from
Bacula. It looks as though this was automatically generated after a problem
is encountered and then sent via bsmtp.

Is this true? If so how can I set this up?

Thanks,
Shon

[Bacula-users] Help with alert configuration

Hello All,

 I've been scratching my brain but haven't figured out how to do this.
I'd like to supress email alerts from Bacula for jobs that are manually
canceled. Can anyone help?

[Bacula-users] Bacula estimate listing shows the files and attributes, backup job error is Could not stat FILE=: ERR=No such file or directory

[Mingus Dew]

All,
 I am having a very strange problem. My backup server is running Bacula
2.4.2 (Solaris 10_x86) and my client is Bacula 2.2.8 (Solaris 10_x86). This
client is having intermittent job failures that I am at a loss to explain.
Here is the log output from one of the failed jobs. Its completing with an
OK status, but is not backing up any files. I know it says ERR=No such file
or directory, but the files are there and estimate listing shows the
files.

[Bacula-users] Please help me with Bacula tape load issues

[Mingus Dew]

Bacula 2.4.2 has been running generally well for me over a year now. I've
upgraded to 2.4.2 from 2 previous versions.

Lately I have been having multiple issues with Bacula losing track of tapes
in the autochanger, not being able to load tapes
that are in the changer, and just generally not working as advertised.

I haven't made any changes, so I kind of need to know whats going on?

Currently I have this issue:

18-Nov 06:33 mt-back4.storage JobId 16098: Please mount Volume A00046 or
label a new one for:

Storage:  Ultrium-TD3 (/dev/rmt/0cbn)
Pool: Advisen_Tapes

Seems pretty normal. The director wants us to mount a new Volume. But
wait

Re: [Bacula-users] Cannot find any appendable volumes. (but they are there!)

[Mingus Dew]

When I have this issue I do the following.

1. Make sure that the request for an appendable volume isn't legitimate.
It happens, tapes fill up and no more are available in the changer.
2. Cancel any tape jobs. Let any disk jobs complete
3. Stop bacula-dir, bacula-sd
4. Remove bacula-dir.state, bacula-sd.state
5. Restart bacula-dir, bacula-sd
6. Run canceled tape jobs.

  appendable volume

 That might explain it, but then I'd still like to know how to recover.

 The night before, one backup was aborted since the autochanger script
 somehow got confused about the slots to unload the tape into, and then
 the ch(4) device (this is FreeBSD which has a kernel device driver for
 media changer devices) refused to unload the medium because the
 desired destination slot was not empty.  Prompted by this, I modified
 the autochanger script to always use the chio return drive 0 command
 rather than even trying to trust the slot number passed in from Bacula
 -- I found my L280 can always exactly remember which slot the medium
 has been loaded from, even after a power cycle, so there's no point in
 trying to move the tape to anything else but its source slot.

 After fixing this, I did not restart the bacula daemons though.  The
 last messages from the previous night's failed jobs were:

 03-Nov 03:13 uriah-sd JobId 35: 3304 Issuing autochanger load slot 3,
 drive 0 command.
 03-Nov 03:14 uriah-sd JobId 35: Fatal error: 3992 Bad autochanger load

 03-Nov 03:14 uriah-fd JobId 35: Fatal error: job.c:1817 Bad response to
 Append Data command. Wanted 3000 OK data
 , got 3903 Error append data

 One day later (i.e. this morning), the messages were:

 04-Nov 03:03 uriah-dir JobId 36: Start Backup JobId 36,
 Job=UriahHome.2008-11-04_03.03.24

 04-Nov 03:03 uriah-sd JobId 36: Job UriahHome.2008-11-04_03.03.24 waiting.
 Cannot find any appendable volumes.

 I.e. it did not even attempt to touch the changer.

 So how would I have to tell the Bacula daemons my media changer
 problems have been fixed?  Remember, even a full update slots scan
 did not unblock it.

 I had to mark uriah-002 artificially Full because of the drive's
 power vanishing before finishing to write the last job that went onto
 the tape, so the tape is currently not really appendable anymore.  But
 both, uriah-004 and uriah-006 should be OK to be written to, so what's
 missing?

 Since the drive was BLOCKED, unmount/mount did not do anything at all
 (the changer script was not started), and even update slots scan did
 not unblock it, even though it thoroughly scanned all the available
 volume headers (and thus confirmed the volume status).

 I did not attempt to relabel uriah-006 since I want it to continue
 filling up medium uriah-004 first, until that one is really full.

[Bacula-users] Need help with Bacula losing track of tapes

[Mingus Dew]

I'm not entirely sure if its a Bacula specific issue, but I could use some
advice (as usual)

I'm running Bacula 2.4.2 on Solaris 10_x68 with and Exabyte LTO-3 Tape
libary. What is happening is that at some point an error occurs to the
device and then Bacula can no longer load or even determine the correct tape
to load for subsequent jobs. My only solution has been to stop Bacula and
remove the bacula-dir.state file. If I don't do this, no matter how many
times I update slots I can't get Bacula to locate the right slots.

This is the log output

Thanks Arno. I just wanted confirmation from someone more experienced.

 You are absolutely right - I like to think of the pool definition as

This is great too. Thanks Brian. This actually answers a question I was
going to pose about tapes. I have some tapes that I changed pool definitions
for, but wasn't quite sure how to update that on tape.

Thanks again

[Bacula-users] Too many open reload requests?

[Mingus Dew]

I am running Bacula 2.2.7 on Solaris 10_x86. When I make changes I usually
do the following:

Edit configuration file
Test with bacula-dir -t -c bacula-dir.conf
Launch bconsole and issue reload command

Recently I started getting these error messages after issuing a reload

03-Mar 16:16 mt-back4.director JobId 0: Error: Too many open reload
requests. Request ignored.

I have not been able to find any reference to this error or why its
happening. A status command against the director doesn't show any pending
jobs or requests.

Thanks

[Bacula-users] How does a change to Volume Use Duration take effect?

[Mingus Dew]

Hi all,
 I recently made a change in my Pool configs to change the Volume Use
Duration from 7d to 6d 23h.

Pool {
  Name = My_Disks
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
  Volume Retention = 27d
  Volume Use Duration = 6d 23h
  LabelFormat = ${Pool}-${NumVols}
}

I made this change to compensate for the fact that a job may be scheduled to
start at 08:00, but the sd might not actually start writing the job until
08:09. The following week, the use duration wouldn't have expired, and the
current week's job would begin running. Then the volume would expire and the
next job would fail. Somthing like this:

10-Jan 20:01 mt-back4.director JobId 541: Max configured use duration
exceeded. Marking Volume Mentora_Disks-1 as Used.
10-Jan 20:01 mt-back4.director JobId 541: There are no more Jobs associated
with Volume Mentora_Disks-2. Marking it purged.
10-Jan 20:01 mt-back4.director JobId 541: All records pruned from Volume
Mentora_Disks-2; marking it Purged
10-Jan 20:01 mt-back4.director JobId 541: Recycled volume Mentora_Disks-2
10-Jan 20:01 mt-back4.storage JobId 541: Fatal error: acquire.c:366 Wanted
to append to Volume Mentora_Disks-2, but device Mentora_ZFS_Storage
(/mnt/backup1/mentora/bacula) is busy writing on Mentora_Disks-1 .
10-Jan 02:31 mt-www1.mentora JobId 541: Fatal error: ../../filed/job.c:1811
Bad response to Append Data command. Wanted 3000 OK data
, got 3903 Error append data

I believe its because the first job is still writing, while the 2nd that
started after the period expired can't append to the volume it wants. So I'd
like to know a couple of things.

By changing the Volume Use Duration in the Pool config, Bacula will pick up
the change after a reload and I don't need to update the volume in the
catalog?
Is there a better way to address this issue?

Thanks

[Bacula-users] How to permanantly remove client?

[Mingus Dew]

I am running Bacula 2.2.7 on Solaris 10_x86 w/ MySQL4 database. There are
some systems which are being decommissioned and I'd like to remove all
traces of these clients.
I removed their client and jobs from the director config. However, when I
list clients in bconsole, I still see them. How can I get rid of these
persistent client listings and also make sure my database no longer has
these systems in it either?

Thanks

Re: [Bacula-users] How does a change to Volume Use Duration take effect?

[Mingus Dew]

I figured out the Duration part, but I'm still not sure if this change is
the correct way to address the larger issue of jobs failing.

*query
Available queries:
 1: List up to 20 places where a File is saved regardless of the
directory
 2: List where the most recent copies of a file are saved
 3: List last 20 Full Backups for a Client
 4: List all backups for a Client after a specified time
 5: List all backups for a Client
 6: List Volume Attributes for a selected Volume
 7: List Volumes used by selected JobId
 8: List Volumes to Restore All Files
 9: List Pool Attributes for a selected Pool
10: List total files/bytes by Job
11: List total files/bytes by Volume
12: List Files for a selected JobId
13: List Jobs stored on a selected MediaId
14: List Jobs stored for a given Volume name
15: List Volumes Bacula thinks are in changer
16: List Volumes likely to need replacement from age or errors
Choose a query (1-16): 9
Enter Pool name: Shopbop_Disks
+-+--+++-+-+
| Recycle | VolRetention | VolUseDuration | MaxVolJobs | MaxVolFiles |
MaxVolBytes |
+-+--+++-+-+
|   1 |2,332,800 |601,200 |  0 |   0
|   0 |
+-+--+++-+-+

The VolUseDuration is stored with the Pool values, not the Volume values.
This does show the new time as well.

Thanks.

 I may be wrong on this case but I have found that any changes in the
 pool resource do not affect currently labeled tapes. To change
 currently labeled tapes you need to use the update volume command and
 follow the prompts.

Re: [Bacula-users] Exabyte 224 - Additional magazine not properlyrecognized

[Mingus Dew]

I was able to figure out the issue.

The Exabyte Magnum 224 LTO has to be configured via LCD for the number of
slots. After I set the slots to 24, it worked.

As for Bacula not using the IE slot. I was able to get Bacula to recognize
the slot and use tapes from it by modifying mtx-changer. Let me know if
you'd like to see what I've done.

Thanks

  For what it's worth, we use the same model and have had no problem with

  One difference is that we disabled the import/export slot on the
 changer.
  Not sure if that matters though.
 
 I have the IE slot enabled on my unit but my unit came with both slots
 so I always had 24 slots. BTW, bacula will not use the IE slot
 properly so I may switch to disabling it.

Re: [Bacula-users] Exabyte 224 - Additional magazine not properlyrecognized

[Mingus Dew]

All,
 Here is the output of mtx status command and mtx-changer run from
command line for comparison. I am running Bacula 2.2.7 on Solaris 10_x86.
Also, I still do have to run mtx status command 2x from command line for the
additional slot to be seen before updating slots in bconsole. I think this
is an Exabyte issue, but is low on my fix list right now. Also notice that
the IE slot is still numbered 24, even though its in the RH magazine, not
LH.

This is the most significant change in the mtx-changer, but I can't recall
if there were others

[Bacula-users] Exabyte 224 - Additional magazine not properly recognized

[Mingus Dew]

Hi all,
 This is slightly off topic. I've been using an Exabyte Magnum 224
autoloader with 12-slot magazine and single LTO-3 drive with Bacula
2.2.7for several months now.
I recently purchased an additional magazine to increase the number of tapes
in a given cycle.

According to Exabyte I should only have to insert the magazine for the
autoloader to recognize it. Which it seemed to do. However, as a precursor
to using this with Bacula, I wanted to test the mtx status output.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]: mtx -f /dev/scsi/changer/c6t4d1 status
  Storage Changer /dev/scsi/changer/c6t4d1:1 Drives, 13 Slots ( 1
Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0: Empty
  Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=A00037
  Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=A00038
  Storage Element 3:Full :VolumeTag=A00039
  Storage Element 4:Full:VolumeTag=A00040

  Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag=A00041
  Storage Element 6:Full :VolumeTag=A00042
  Storage Element 7:Full :VolumeTag=A00043
  Storage Element 8:Full :VolumeTag=A00044
  Storage Element 9:Full :VolumeTag=A00045
  Storage Element 10:Full :VolumeTag=A00046

  Storage Element 11:Full :VolumeTag=A00047

  Storage Element 12 IMPORT/EXPORT:Full :VolumeTag=A00048
  Storage Element 13:Empty :VolumeTag=

So only 1 additional slot is seen, rather than the 12 more (24 total)
expected.

I'm asking if anyone else has run into this issue with their Exabyte Magnum
224

Thanks
