Richard,
you can always do an
update volume=blah inchanger=no slot=0
This will set the needed volume options to what the overlooked update slots
would have.
I also noticed a few times this 'stuck' situation...

We have several systems running various versions of bacula and libraries, all
without issues:
- Old one #1 :from memory, a quantum 2 drive , 20 slot LTO3 library , SCSI
interface
- old one #2 : ibm/quantum 1 drive, 7 slot LTO3 library, SCSI interface
- new one (2 month old ) , quantum scalar i500, 3 drives (HP) , 129 slots + 6
exchangers, LTO4, fibre interface.
make sure you spec up the host that is connected to your drive to be able to
push data fast enough. And yes, definitely go with LTO4 unless you have a real
good reason not to.

[Bacula-users] In-changer info wrong for 1 tape.
Hi there,
I'm using bacula 5.0.1 under Centos 5.4 64 bit with a tape library( 3
drives, 133 slots) It's been working great , non stop. I just noticed 1
small item:
We sent a bunch of tapes offsite. After taking them out of the robot,I
issued an update slots command, selected the robot device, it did its thing,
it reported the right info...except for 1 of the 5 tapes sent offsite, which
, in "show volumes pool=xyz" the slot number and 'inchanger = 1".
* all the other tapes sent offsite show as slot=0, inchanger 0
* the info from update slots did NOT include this confused tape
* the tape is DEFINITELY not in the robot, confirmed via mtx , and confirmed
it is checked into offsite facility...
Is there some other test I should run to debug this ?
Cheers,
B

[Bacula-users] Autochanger, checking valid volumes in all drives ?
Hi guys,
we have a 127 slot / 3 drive library, which is working great . Drives 0 and
1 are set for automatic use.
We have 2 jobs, offsite and local, and a separate pool for each job, with
tapes being picked up from Scratch. This works fine too.
Both jobs are configured to use the autochanger storage device (not a drive
specifically).
The somewhat annoying thing is this. if we have:
Drive0 has a tape already in "offsite" pool.
Drive1 has a tape already in "local" pool.
If neither drive0 nor drive1 are currently in use, and job-local starts,
instead of saying, hey, i have a tape for me in Drive1, it actually unloads
Drive0, moves the tape from Drive1 to Drive0 and starts using it.
It would be great if the job could check what volumes/tapes are available
already in the drives, and then just start using the correct one.
Is this a new feature/improvement, or am have I missed a magic something
somewhere?
TIA!

FWIW, you can configure the spooling directory to go to a different

How would this integrate with a tool like bat ? ie, it wouldn't allow you to
integrate it easily with bat (for on-the-server processing of the
filtering), would it?

my $0.02,
Bconsole already performs SQL queries for all commands that would issue a
long listing, right?
SQL was meant for filtering & relating data ... Why not add some filter
param that is added to the SQL being sent to the backend? something like the
original suggestion,but simply as an extra parameter to the existing
command. for example:
*list files jobid=999 incFile="%budget%2009%" excFile="%.doc"
to include all *budget*2009* files, except *.doc .
Similar extensions:
- case sensitive , or not.
- paths instead of file
- client names
- etc
The tricky bit may be avoiding SQL injection attacks, but there should be
some libraries / standard practices for dealing with this.
I think this may be a cleaner approach for then end user.
This may not apply if you have 1,000 clients, 'list clients' may not benefit
from this as it doesnt query SQL...

Hello,
i strongly suggest you use the bacula-bat src.rpm and build from it a new
RPM. I have it working nicely on 5.3 / 4 ,64bit.
I am not sure if the bundled .spec builds with the specific options you
need, but you can always add them to the config line inside the spec...

Robert,
did you solve this? What tape / library are you using? We are just about to
start using a number of LTO4 drives,so this will be something we'd want to
test.
btw, what happens if you rewind the tape manually? (ie, unmount @ bacula, mt
-f /dev/nst0 rewind && mtx -f /dev/xxx unload x, then load in bacula again.
Is bacula writing while the reboot happens?

[Bacula-users] retention times...
Hi,
I just wanted to confirm, for my own benefit :), that when a volume is
recycled ( as per the 'volume Retention' settings), all Job and File records
contained in that volume are gone.
With the caveat that if the volume is not overwritten by a subsequent job,
one can use bscan to restore this information into the database.
Effectively, this means that, if I want to keep my Job and File records in
the DB, I should either set 'Auto Prune' to false (which does *not* affect
*Volume* retention/recycling policies), or set Job/File retention to long
enough periods so that the are not relevant (ie, Volume recycling kicks in
first).
TIA,
b

[Bacula-users] 'status storage=XYZ' - misreporting ?
Hi everyone,
I am using Bacula 5.0.0 on Centos 5.4 64bit.
When I issue 'status storage=XYZ', where XYZ is a storage device managed by
StorageDaemonA , what I get is information about all storage devices defined
for StorageDaemonA. Is this how it's supposed to be ?
For example, below is the output of 'status storage=berthaFileHomeDirs' . It
reports on pretty much anything on the bertha.-sd ,but not specifics on
the berthaFileHomeDirs storage device. Such things like Pools / jobs using
this device, etc
I'm happy to log this in Mantis, i just want to make sure whether it's a bug
or a feature not implemented yet...
Cheers,

[Bacula-users] Backup to disk, then duplicate
Hi there,
I wanted to run this pass more knowledgeable minds before trying on a test
environment.
I need to write duplicate tapes for onsite and offsite storage. The data
will not expire - they are basically archives.
I plan to the backup the data from the network source to a local disk,
diskPool, which will expire after 2 weeks. From this disk copy, I'll write 2
tapes, one on offsitePool and one on onSitePool.
The copy on disk would act, in a way, as both a source for quick restores
while the data is valid, as well as source of the to-tape jobs , reducing
the network transfers.
the "2 jobs to tape" part, i was thinking of tackling it as 2 copy jobs of
the original disk job. In this way, the relation between all the jobs is
clear, and I should be able to restore from any of the 3 jobs.
Questions :
* Can one use RunBeforeJob scripts on Copy / Migrate jobs?
* How could I run the copy jobs right after the backup to disk job has
finished ?
( the Run directive of the Job resource looks great, but it seems it starts
the 'clone' job before the main job... i could imagine the main job being
one of the tape jobs and then start the clone-to-disk before it, but it just
gets too un-KISS. )
* Ideally, a RunAfterJob that starts the 2nd + 3rd jobs would be great...but
they call external scripts, not internal bacula commands (Python interface
is always an option...)
* Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way around, and a scheduled Copy job
should deal with this situation? The important thing is that i need to be
able to pass to an external script information about which "to-disk" job I
just copied to tape. (hence my first question about RunBeforeJob for
copy/migrate jobs)
Any and all input much appreciated!!

hmm the way i read the patch and some history behind it appearing in the
rpm.spec, it was added to support openssl v1.1 on FC11 and FC12 platforms. A
very cursory glance over the changes when I sent the original email about
this seemed to point to new/renamed methods / members in openssl1.1

I reckon it would be. I didn't change this value, and
http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/New_Features_in_3_0_0.html#SECTION007101000
says it defaults to NO.
Which is why I make sure via my own code things work properly ;)
I will review the whole thing soon and see whether i've missed anything,
thanks!

[Bacula-users] Problem with opensslv1.patch when openssl-0.9.8 installed (bacula 5.0.1-2, Centos 5.4 64 bit )
Hi everyone,
I am getting build errors when building 5.0.1-2 from src rpm on Centos 5.4,
64 bit .
rpmbuild line:
rpmbuild --target=$(uname -m) --define build_centos5=1--define
build_client_only=1 --define build_python=1 --define build_tcpwrappers=1
-bb /bacula.spec
The error I get is , @ configure stage :

(notice the 'no', then 'yes'... ??)
then, @ build stage :

Question - is 5.0.1-2 ONLY meant for FC-11 / 12 ??
I am not sure how to check, in an RPM Spec for version of openssl-devel
installed , but blatingly forcing a OS / library specifc patch on any OS
seems a bit much, IMHO.
The patch below ( [1] ) for bacula.spec "Worked-For-Me (tm)".
Please let me know if you want me to log this in Mantis.

The issue is that , say, slot 1 is labelled correctly, 2 and 3 not, 4

[Bacula-users] Automatic labelling from barcodes ?
Hi everyone,
We have a tape library, 7 slots, 1 drive, barcode reader. All our tapes are
barcoded.
I've been using 'label barcodes' with some success [1]. I would like to be
able to just insert new tapes and let bacula automatically label them using
the barcode read from the tape.
Is this possible, and if so, how ?
Running
Version: 5.0.0 (26 January 2010) x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu redhat
thanks!!
[1] sometimes it throws some errors, tape i/o,etc, not sure it is related to

[Bacula-users] Maximum Concurrent Jobs in job definition
Hi everyone,
I have a job that runs very frequently, and successive runs take different
sets of data (as determined by a pre-job script). To avoid problems, my
pre-job script sets a lock file and the post-clears it.
When I configure my director for concurrent jobs = 2, i sometimes get 2 of
these jobs trying to run in parallel (which is understandable, many times a
run has more data than the average and is still running while the next one
is due). My pre-script will then cancel the execution of the 2nd script
(because it finds the lock file). Great.
Of course, this is generating a bunch of (expected) errored jobs . I read in
the documentaiton [1] that I can use "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" in the Job
def, to determine how many of this jobs can start in parallel. So I set this
to 1 [2]
But it has no effect . I get 2 jobs running in parallel (for a short while,
until the pre-script kills it). If I change the director's Max Concurrent
Jobs to 1, then it's forced to 1 (but i need more than one, as I as have
spooling enabled and other jobs writing to the tape too..)
What is going on ?
TIA!

there's been plenty of very good advice given on bacula... thanks everyone!
so, on a slightly different slant...
I don't know how your servers are used/managed... fwiw, I've been trying to
move towards segregating configuration (/etc , crontabs,etc) from software (rpm
-qa as someone suggested), from data (ie, user generated files, DBs,etc).
If you think of it this way, configuration is managed via Puppet (and you only
need to backup Puppet), software is managed via, say, Kickstart (and you only
backup your kickstart data), and then you worry about your 'non-manageable
data'.
just my $0.02 :)

[Bacula-users] Lock Manager, is this for production use?
Hi guys,
First of all, thanks for a top notch product. We are using bacula 5.0.0.1 @
$work, and about to really start using it to back up loads of data (over 60TB of
filesystems, with some very specific needs), and bacula has covered all the
bases. Kudos to you all!!
So, to the point :) I can't seem to find a lot of information on the Lock
Manager. I saw a few posts dating back to 3.x series where it was mentioned
that lockmgr is meant to be used when debugging issues - ie, not for
production.
Is this still the case?
Also, maybe related or not, but bat will crash when running when using client
package built with lock-manager enabled. Would this be solved if bat has
--enable-lockmgr ?
thanks in advance,
B
