Re: [Bacula-users] NFS mount back ups?
Well, I did a full restore and tested random files and everything works fine. It was the software compression.. ha.. Thanks for all the help everyone.

Romer Ventura said: I cant omit the fstype = nfs, as bacula will fail since bacula checks for that. [Based on version 5.x] I think bacula will check the file system type _only_ if you specify it, and default to “everything” when you omit it. You can’t even use it for Windows clients. I don’t specify ‘fstype=’ anywhere, and my backups run fine, of local disks as well as NFS shares (that’s how I back up a NAS on which I can’t install a file daemon). As far as I understood it, it is optional; you can specify zero, one or more filesystem types to include; and the main (or only) reason why it exists is so you can avoid getting into an endless loop traversing mount points when you set onefs = no.

Re: [Bacula-users] Restoring pruned files
I am trying to restore some files from pruned volumes and I am having a bit of difficulties. I did run bscan like: bscan -b h34.bsr -h localhost -P password -v -s -m -c bacula-sd.conf H23- DataStore-full Bscan finished normally and I went into bconsole, there I started the restore and it showed this: Could it be that Bacula noticed that the files were old enough to be pruned and so just pruned them again as soon as the bscan had finished? Try pushing out the prune date and doing the bscan again. James Ok, well it ended up being that since I am using a somewhat older version, the bscan bug still present where the PrunedFiles in the DB does not update.

[Bacula-users] backing up to disk - vtapes
Hello, I am backing up to disk and I am having some issues with a particular pool. Mail-diff-pool: Pool { Name = MailPool-Diff-tape Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 1 months Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 Label Format = H22-Diff- Maximum Volumes = 3 Storage = H23-FileStore-diff } The idea is to do a differential backup every weekend where the full backup doesn't run, this should be 3 weekends. Each of those weekends should use 1 tape. The problem I am having is that it seems like the first time the differential backup ran, it created file sizes (for the vtapes) of 4.2GB, 4.8GB and 22GB. Now that the differential backup is to run again, it used ALL 3 vtapes for 1 job. In the job log I can see each tapes being purged and recycled in order to be used, but then it just stops once it fills up the last tape. Are the file based backups supposed to increase and decrease the file size for the vtape depending on what's used for a particular run or once the file size is set there is no resize for them??

Re: [Bacula-users] backing up to disk - vtapes
Are the file based backups supposed to increase and decrease the file size for the vtape depending on what's used for a particular run or once the file size is set there is no resize for them?? They are supposed to increase up to whatever limit were set on them when the volume was created (or if you issued the bconsole commands to change the volume's maximum size). That is unless you are using use volume once or some other usage limit. Volumes will only decrease size on recycle if you have the truncate on purge enabled. John Well, the volumes were purged and recycled before they were used on May-19. But for some reason the volume did not grow in size to accommodate the new increased size of this differential run. For this pool I have not set any usage limit other than Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 as I want each of the 3 differential runs to be on its own vtape.

And it did the same for the other 2 vtapes. Do I need to set any max size in order for the vtape to be able to increase its size??

Hello, I need to restore some older files, the problem is that the retention policy has already pruned the files. However, the volumes have not been over written. I did a bscan with -m and -s options and when I went back to the bconsole and did a restore I selected the most recent, option 5, however, I keep getting: For one or more of the JobIds selected, no files were found, so file selection is not possible.

[Bacula-users] retention
Hello, I wanna accomplish the following: 1.- Full back up the first saunday of every month, incremental back up Mon through Fri and differential backup every Sun except for the first Sun of the month. So far I have this: Schedule { Name = WeeklyCycle Run = Level=Full 1st sun at 18:00 Run = Level=Differential 2nd-5th sun at 18:00 Run = Level=Incremental mon-fri at 20:00 } And jobDefs look like: JobDefs { Name = H22-MailServ-def Type = Backup Level = Full Schedule = WeeklyCycle Messages = Standard Pool = MailPool-Full-tape Full Backup Pool = MailPool-Full-tape Differential Backup Pool = MailPool-Diff-tape Incremental Backup Pool = MailPool-Incre-tape Write Bootstrap = /var/lib/bacula/%c.bsr Priority = 10 } 2.- I have 4 sets of 7 tapes, that would give me 4 months of back ups. Actually 3 since the last one would have to be reused. Basically I want each set to be used every month. So far I have this: Pool { Name = MailPool-Full-tape Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 3 months Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 Maximum Volumes = 4 Storage = SLDLTv4 } Pool { Name = MailPool-Diff-tape Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 3 months Maximum Volumes = 4 Storage = SLDLTv4 } Pool { Name = MailPool-Incre-tape Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 3 months Maximum Volumes = 4 Storage = SLDLTv4 } Do this look about right.?

Look at the WHERE field listed above. In addition to that, the restore job has: client= housigma25-fd which is a debian server and also the localhost. Look at restore client in the output above. It is not restoring where where you think it is. Also, the available space for both server has not changed so if the restore happened somewhere, I would notice 13GB less than reported. When you are running the restore job, you probably want to mod the job (as opposed to y/n when prompted). You probably want to change the restore client and the WHERE field. -- Dan Langille - http://langille.org/ Sorry, Outlook
Re: [Bacula-users] Ensuring Bacula uses the new tapes

For example: i put in 8 tapes into scratch pool, then each job pulls tapes from there into their respective pools, then when the month goes by and i replace the tapes with 8 new tapes, bacula still wants to use the tapes i removed even when i do update slots, and indicate Autochanger = yes on the config. So what can i do to ensure that when i replace the tapes, the new tapes are actually used instead of getting the error manual mount might be required. Hi Romer (OOPS! I wrote a whole reply before noticing that you have run the update slots command) I'll leave my original reply below this one, because it may help someone else with a similar issue, but I suspect your problem is that you are not labeling your tapes by their barcodes. If your changer supports barcodes, you need to use the label barcodes command in which case Bacula will ask a couple question (which pool etc) and will then cycle each tape into the drive, label it by its barcode and put it back into its slot in the changer. You can not label them with human friendly names, since Bacula will query the changer for the barcodes of the tapes in the slots and the changer does not know about the human readable labels that may have been manually written to the tapes. BTW, you can do a list media to see what tapes bacula thinks are in which slots. Look at the Slot and In Changer columns to confirm that Bacula knows where your tapes are. Hope this helps. -- Bill Arlofski Reverse Polarity, LLC --[original reply when I thought your question was differnt :) ]-- The command you are looking for is update slots As long as your tapes have bar codes on them, and they have been labeled with the label barcodes command, the update slots command will update the media database so that bacula knows which tape is currently in the changer and in which slot each tape resides. What I do is create an Update Slots job that is configured to run at the same time as my nightly backups but with a higher priority so it always runs first. This way I never really have to remember to manually run the update slots command unless I need to run a restore or backup job manually after media replacement, and before the nightly jobs run. The Update Slots job def looks like this: --[snip]-- # # # Update Slots Job # # Job { Name = UpDateSlots Client = None Type = Admin FileSet = None Storage = c0 Schedule = WeeklyToOffsiteDisk Messages = Standard Priority = 8 SpoolData = no Pool = Default RunScript { RunsWhen = Before RunsOnClient = no Fail Job On Error = no Command = /usr/local/sbin/runbefore-updateslots.sh } } --[snip]-- and /usr/local/sbin/runbefore-updateslots.sh looks like this: --[snip]-- #!/bin/bash # BC=/usr/sbin/bconsole CONF=/etc/bacula/include/bconsole-SITENAME.conf STORAGE=c0 $BC -c $CONF EOF update slots storage=$STORAGE quit EOF --[snip]-- Hope this helps. -- Bill Arlofski Reverse Polarity, LLC -- Nokia and ATT present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users -- Nokia and ATT present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

I believe it will pull from the scratch pool if only if there are no acceptable volumes in the pool. CNH895 was an acceptable volume even though it was not in the changer so it picked that over grabbing one from the scratch. There may be some configuration setting to prevent bacula from wanting a volume that is not in the changer but I do not know. Some one else will have to help with that.. John In your Storage section of your bacula-dir.conf file, if you are using an autochanger you need to specify 'Autochanger = yes' so bacula will check the InChanger field when it works with media.

[Bacula-users] Backup plan - Pool errors
Hello, So what i want to do is: 1.- Full backups run first sunday of the month. 2.- Incremental backups run monday through friday 3.- Differential backups run 2dn-5th sundays of the month. At the moment i am backing up 2 servers; file server and mail server. File server has 310GB of data and it would?certainly?fit in 2 VS1 tapes. Mail server is 100GB so 1 VS1 tape will be enough. I dont want the full backup jobs to exceed those amount so i want to set file server job to use 2 tapes and mail server 1 tape. Then use the?remaining?tapes for incremental and?differential?(we have 7 tapes in the super loader). So file server job would use 2 tapes for full and 1 tape for incremental and differential (3 tapes total). Mail server 1 tape for full and 1 tape for incremental and differential. We also have 5 sets of 7 tapes and i plan to use 1 set per month so that we have 5 months of backups and be able to restore data from any point in time during the past 5 months. I would like to have the full backup tapes to be written once until the whole ?cycle runs and it's time to use them again. The problem i am having is that when the file server job runs, it adds 2 tapes to the Full-pool, then the mail server job runs it says i cant add anymore tapes to the pool. Do that mean that i have to define more pools if i want to separate the mail server and file server tapes...? Here are my pool definitions: Pool { Name = Full-Pool-dsk-tpe Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 1 months Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 # Label Format = Full- Maximum Volumes = 2 Storage = SLDLTv4 } Pool { Name = Diff-Pool-dsk-tpe Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 1 months # Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 # Label Format = Full- Maximum Volumes = 1 Storage = SLDLTv4 } Pool { Name = Incre-Pool-dsk-dsk Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 5 days # Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 # Label Format = IncreFileServ- Maximum Volumes = 1 Storage = SLDLTv4 } Thanks -- Romer Ventura -- Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.

Re: [Bacula-users] Backup plan - Pool errors
I dont want to have a single full backup. I want a single full backup per set. I have 5 sets and each set has 7 tapes. I want to keep the full backup and it;s differential and incremental backups for 4 months or 5 months before a set can be over written. Does that mean that the Full-Pool will have to have a maxVol = 10 to account 2 tapes for each month? Thanks -- Romer Ventura On Aug 25, 2010, at 11:19 AM, Phil Stracchino wrote: On 08/25/10 11:00, Romer Ventura wrote: Tapes are 120GB native capacity and 320GB with compression. 2.75:1 compression? Only if you have unusually compressible data. I assume you meant 160GB native; still, 1.3:1 to 1.5:1 is a much more likely overall compression ratio with real-world data. But the short answer is, if you expect your fileserver to fill two tapes, and your mailserver to fill one, and the pool your fileserver tapes go in have a two-tape limit, then yes, you're going to need to back up your mailserver to a separate pool unless you're willing to increase that volume limit. And if your fileserver backup runs over two tapes, you have a problem. But then, you have a problem anyway with this plan. Because if your fileserver takes two tapes to back up, and is backed up to a pool with a two-tape limit, then you've got to erase each full backup before you can start a new one. Then, if there's a problem with the new backup (even if it just runs beyond the two-tape pool limit, which will cause it to fail), you don't have a backup. And then if there's a problem on the server before you can make a new backup, you're dead in the water. This is how Microsoft managed to lose thousands of Sidekick customers' data. Microsoft's Danger unit only had room for a single full backup, and had to delete it in order to begin a new backup; then they cancelled the new backup in progress, because the manager was impatient and didn't want to wait the three days for the backup to complete; then the major system update they were backing up in preparation for went south. Any backup plan that calls for having only a single full backup that must be purged to begin a new one, is a bad plan. Prudent planning would call for your full backup pool to hold AT LEAST sufficient tapes for two complete cycles of your Full backups, allowing a 50% safety margin on the expected tape usage for each one. So, if you *expect* your full backup to take two tapes, based on your expectations of compression, allow for at least six tapes in your pool. Remember, tape is cheap, and un-backed-up data may be irreplaceable. -- Phil Stracchino, CDK#2 DoD#299792458 ICBM: 43.5607, -71.355 ala...@caerllewys.net ala...@metrocast.net p...@co.ordinate.org Renaissance Man, Unix ronin, Perl hacker, Free Stater It's not the years, it's the mileage. -- Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.

Re: [Bacula-users] tape has room, but Bacula warning unable to add scratch volume
Could it be the schedule..? Well since i havent got a full backup, i manually ran the full backup job. Does this mean that since the job scheduled for the 1st sunday hadnt run, bacula scheduled and tried to run it as if it was the 1st sun? Shouldnt bacula check for the a full backup for the same job and then just do the incremental job? or manually ran jobs do not count on this checks bacula does...?

What i just started doing is: Full back up the first Sun of every month directly to tape incremental backup mon-fri directly to disk differential backup every sunday except for the 1st sunday directly to tape Our data is about 300GB which will fit fine in 2 tapes, i dont feel like writing daily small sets of data to time is worth the time so i write that to disk and consolidate the changes with the differential backup. This will use 5 tapes per month (of course without current data demands) and allowing me to keep 4 months worth of data with the differential tapes allowing me to go back i time in a weekly manner.

[Bacula-users] Slow backups under XenServer with Windows2003 SP1/R2 guests
Hello, So i am trying to back up my file server with Bacula and i am having a difficult time getting it to work. I am able to back up desktops at 7MB/s, non-virtualized windows servers at 4.7MB/s, virtualized desktops at 4.7MB/s and virtualized windows servers at 100KB/s.?? The servers are any of Windows 2003 SP1 or Windows 2003 R2, the desktops (virtualized or not) are Windows XP SP3/SP2. My hosts server all run Citrix XenServer Enterprise, running on HP blades with 8GB of RAM and dual quad core CPUs on SAS HDDs. The VMs storage resides in an HP EVA4400 connected via fiber. If i mount server1's (virtualized windows 2003) share on the bacula server and copy the same amount of data(3.1GB) it gets done in about 6min. If i copy the data via scp it gets done in about 5min at a rate of 11MB/s. But when i run bacula on any virtualized windows 2003 server the data rate doesnt go higher than 200KB/s. NOTE: That i am backing all this up to disk. Here are the relevant config files: bacula-dir.conf: Job { Name = test1 Type = Backup Level = Full Client = I USE ANY OF THE CLIENTS BELLOW TO TEST THE SAME SETTINGS FileSet = wintest Schedule = WeeklyCycle Storage = File Messages = Standard Pool = Default Write Bootstrap = /var/lib/bacula/%c.bsr Priority = 10 } Client { Name = vir-server1-fd Address = vir-server1.DOMAIN.COM FDPort = 9102 Catalog = MyCatalog Password = asdfasdfsadfaf # password for FileDaemon File Retention = 14 days# 30 days Job Retention = 1 months# six months AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files } # Client (File Services) to backup Client { Name = ph-desktop1-fd Address = ph-desktop1.DOMAIN.COM FDPort = 9102 Catalog = MyCatalog Password = asdfsadfdsafsdafasd # password for FileDaemon File Retention = 30 days# 30 days Job Retention = 6 months# six months AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files } # Client (File Services) to backup Client { Name = vir-desktop2-fd Address = vir-desktop2.DOMAIN.COM FDPort = 9102 Catalog = MyCatalog Password = asdfsdfdsfsadfa/ # password for FileDaemon File Retention = 30 days# 30 days Job Retention = 6 months# six months AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files } Pool { Name = Default Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes Volume Retention = 3 days # one year Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 LabelFormat = File- } bacula-sd.conf: Device { Name = FileStorage Media Type = File Archive Device = /bacula-staging/backups LabelMedia = yes # lets Bacula label unlabeled media Random Access = Yes; AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it RemovableMedia = no; Maximum Network Buffer Size = 13107200 AlwaysOpen = no; } Thanks -- Romer Ventura -- The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
