If I were you, I would see the Bareos project as an opportunity to raise the bar, make a better product. Randall, You are missing the point. The issue is not that Bareos is a fork of Bacula. If Bareos were a clean, above-the-board fork of Bacula community edition, conducted openly and maintaining all due attribution and credit, there would not be a problem. But that's not what happened. DassIT created the Bareos fork in secret using Bacula Enterprise code stolen from Bacula Systems by a consultant who was under non-disclosure agreement, removed all of the author attributions from the code in an apparent attempt to disguise the theft, and then launched a smear campaign against Bacula.

Granted, most people are using LTO today. I managed to pick up some very good used DLT drives and tapes. They are much sturdier than DDS. Yeah. I check the DDS tapes every once in awhile. Never had a bad restore, and DLT is definitely overkill for me.

[Bacula-users] Hint about small backup jobs with larger tapes
Looking for a bit of advice here... hoping someone may have some pointers. The back story is that I have three incremental tapes. Each one is written to for one business week. The total of the jobs per day is roughly 300MB. So, for the 5 days, about 1.5GB. I'm concerned about premature tape wear in this scenario -- writing to the same 1.5GB at the beginning of the tape all of the time must be a bad idea. So, I guess what I'm looking for is some way to keep my current rotation (3 tapes, 1 week per tape) but write to a larger part of the tape surface. These are DDS4 tapes, so I could write several times to the same tape.

Yes, of course you are correct; thank you. And I've even read that in the documentation. And moving the default Options clause to the end of the Include does result in compression always being used. So all is well now. I guess I had better not wonder why I've always had it this way, and _was_ getting compresssion 50% of the time. Moving on... I think you'll find it depends on what was backed up. Reading this page: http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION00187 However, one additional point is that in the case that no match was found, Bacula will use the options found in the last Options resource. As a consequence, if you want a particular set of default options, you should put them in an Options resource after any other Options. Thus, sometimes your backup matched a previous Options clause, and sometimes it did not.

Re: [Bacula-users] General questions after 1 year use
once the retention policy expires. Is there a fix for this? Could this be causing/affecting point 1 above (i.e. doing manual purges)? Purging is the last resort. If the scratch pool contains Volumes, they will be used. 3. Disk pool structure. I have 4 directories on my backup server for the Disk pools, Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Yearly. The Daily, Weekly and Monthly directories are all in the region of 1.4Tb in size. The problem is that the server is near it's capacity of disk space, and I can't add any more clients until I address this. I feel the current structure is not making the best use of the space. The retention policy of 2 days on the disk volumes is to allow a tape copy job to run the morning after a nightly backup, and these tapes are then moved to a safe and replaced with Scratch tapes in the autoloader. It also allows us to do a quick restore of a file that may have been deleted the previous day, which is the most common restore request. It sound like you need to set a limit on the Pool so Bacula starts to recycle Volumes. Bacula will not recycle Volumes if it is permitted to create new Volumes. The space taken up by the weekly and monthly volumes is wasted, as they have expired 2 days after use, but the space is still not available to the Daily volumes. I suspect I'd get a lot more clients covered if I could change this. Is it possible to have a single directory shared by all pools, and all pools share and recycle the same volumes. What are the pros and cons of doing this, or is there a better way. Is there any benefit in upgrading bacula to address any of these items.

I think most on this list have read Kern's frustrations with aspects of this projects, and along comes someone with the topic Bacula Project Will Die and scolds the author of this software, saying that he's frustrated to see the free version being destroyed by the paid for and that it is not the way to get compensation. It's not polite to come to someone's house, accept the kind offer of a free meal, and then to go into the kitchen and start bossing the cook around. Perhaps you are right and perhaps it is a language issue, but honestly I think the person made their point very clear. I also think that Kern has given people no reason to think that the paid software will cannibalize the community edition and to stop supporting it... so who needs to hear this kind of stuff? - -- - _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Sr. Systems Programmer |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |novos...@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/CST-Academic Svcs. - ADMC 450, Newark -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkzYJ6gACgkQmb+gadEcsb4nBQCgjok+JrGUBreNam/EtV2bL3L9 iJUAoOG/uEwVjFYQRhTeXnCCnuck5l8t =L5zf -END PGP SIGNATURE- attachment: novosirj.vcf-- The Next 800 Companies to Lead America's Growth: New Video Whitepaper David G.

Hi, Where did you get this information? Is it proven message? I use backup to DVD from long time and in my opinion as Bacula user this functionality works well. I think, it will be a big pity for users for which tape drives are too expensive and for which disk based backup is not enough (for example using at home or small office). DVD discs are cheap and backup to DVD is nice solution. If it is true that the DVD code will soon be removed then remains for me respect this decision. What do you think about it? What version are you using? I was under the impression that it was already removed some time ago. I don't think it's a big deal.

It's very frustrating that a project that become a huge success being a free software, is being destroyed like that. I acknowledge that Kern and other developers had lots of development work on Bacula - and there is not huge contribution. But creating a paid fork is not the way of get compensation. Bacula Systems has financed additional features and has created an Enterprise version that is available to subscribers. All community contributions including most Bacula Systems contributions go into the community version which is available to everyone. For two years we were putting everything into the community version, but the company will not survive that is very clear -- Bacula Systems spends more than CHF 50,000 / month in salaries and other costs. Very few people or companies are willing to finance this for something that is free. You complain, but you suggest no viable alternatives. I nolonger want to be the only person contributing most to Bacula and fixing most of the bugs. So If Bacula Systems fails, the project will most likely die, stagnate, or the code reliablity will become so bad in a few years that no one will want to use it. I have spent 15 years contributing everything I do to Open Source, 10 of those years to Bacula. Other people have done more, but for me that is a lot! All the code I continue t contribute is Open Source, but I choose not to give all of it to everyone today, because I want to see Bacula continue -- the only way to do so is to ensure that Bacula Systems continues. Both Bacula Systems and I could make the code proprietary as do virtually all other projects that include support. We have chosen to continue writing Open Source, which has a lot of risks. I find it ungrateful of you to complain about a not getting everything you want for free -- especially when Bacula Systems has contributed *far* more than the community in creating version 5.0.x. One of the projects I am working on for the next community release is restarting failed jobs. When I hear statements and complaints such as yours, it makes me wonder why I shouldn't just put that code only into the Enterprise version. Had you attended the recent Bacula conference, you would have had ample time to discuss these points and to hear what I and other users say. If you want these features, why don't you submit the code for them or stimulate the community to do so. Anything that comes from the community will be available to the community, and this is generally after we invest a significant amount of time correcting the code, debugging it, testing it, releasing it, documenting the new features, and then later supporting it with bug fixes. I have the feeling that most people are unaware of the amount of work that goes into creating and supporting Bacula -- even with features contributed by the community. The Bacula project will only die if Bacula Systems fails and the community does not make more contributions. So please stop complaining, and be happy that Bacula Systems is contributing to the Bacula project, and that all of Bacula Systems code is Open Source, even if everyone doesn't get everything for free. This is far better than us taking the code proprietary as other projects are doing. Continuing to complain may well contribute to the Bacula project dying. Kern, Thank you for what you do provide. Bacula has been a great and trouble-free piece of software. I'd love to adopt it more and move to the paid enterprise edition, but that is not how my workplace thinks.

Kern Now, see, I think that's actually the kind of thing the original poster was worried about, not that it's just plain bad to make money on Legally-Free software or anything. There's been some discussion of the open core business model going around lately, so it's not an unreasonable concern. If it WERE the case that a lot of the new really useful features were going paid premium only, I think it WOULD slowly kill off the free community version. I suspect that's really what Heitor was trying express concern about (and I suspect English is not his primary language, so his post ended up looking more intense than perhaps he'd intended). It sounds to me like the actual functionality in the community version isn't likely to be allowed to stagnate any time soon, so I'm not too worried about there being some extra bonus features in the paid version (a GUI for configuration makes things easier to use, but not having it doesn't prevent us from using the actual bacula functionality in the community version). I was just a little surprised that the hate level in the replies so far seem to be turned up a notch or two higher than necessary - at least if my interpretation of Heitor's original post is correct. You misread that message, I think: Just so it is really clear, I had and have no intention of putting Restarting Failed Jobs only into the Enterprise version. ...to be fair, it's sort of a double negative.

The director? (More reading in my future.) So if this makes any sense at all could some one clue me with the right terms I need to look for? I think you may be looking at Item 9 on this list? http://bacula.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=bacula/bacula;a=blob;f=bacula/projects;hb=HEAD If so, as far as I know, it is yet unimplemented. What you can do, I believe, is to set up the tunnels from the client side and then have the client connect to the director and order it to run the backup. I think FD initiate is not a bad search term to start. - -- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer II |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |novos...@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/CST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkuMlB0ACgkQmb+gadEcsb6BXACglqOn4Z20J6BhX2EuOxafvN7D G1IAoLe+WE6HHubV8pzE5W/cSoxYrRYm =Vw2n -END PGP SIGNATURE- attachment: novosirj.vcf-- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

The first thing to understand is that it is *impossible* to know what the encoding is on the client machine (FD -- or File daemon). On say a Unix/Linux system, the user could create filenames with non-UTF-8 then switch to UTF-8, or restore files that were tarred on Windows or on Mac, or simply copy a Mac directory. Finally, using system calls to create a file, you can put *any* character into a filename. While true in theory, in practice it's pretty unusual to have filenames encoded with an encoding other than the system LC_CTYPE on a modern UNIX/Linux/BSD machine. I would say particularly at schools, it's probably a lot more common than you think. My other concern is that if you ARE someone that does tend to have this kind of problems and Bacula messes with the filename, in the case of a disaster recovery restore where Bacula has chosen safe filenames, the process to fix everything that has been changed may be rather involved, or in the case of user data, perhaps impossible for a sysadmin to repair without user intervention. - -- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer II |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |novos...@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/CST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAksX2MgACgkQmb+gadEcsb5b8gCfTk2I9DzIqCZT0vpQAqya+lfB qi4An0ndfzCC3oVE2TwMwQyUzEimt+Pb =jDEy -END PGP SIGNATURE- attachment: novosirj.vcf-- Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.

the level of the Job by days following something like this Schedule.
Schedule {

Run = Level=Full on 1st sat # Use for Monthly Full First Saturday
Run = Level=Differential sun
Run = Level=Incremental on 2nd-5th sat

This of course runs constantl because there is no at time set.
Is there a way to set the level using bacula's scheduler without scheduling

Re: [Bacula-users] Sun's incompetence
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Robert Hartzell wrote: Kern Sibbald wrote: Hello, serious-flame I very seldom complain publicly about vendors such as Sun Microsystems, so this is a bit unusual. Just to note, in 1983, Sun was the first Unix system that I had ever used, and I continuously used it until about 1998, when I switched to Linux. Their OS was quite stable and worked with a lot of high end equipment. I enjoyed working with it, but found that Linux OS was very nice and worked with much cheaper and more available hardware (the reason for my switch to Linux). Recently I tried loading OpenSolaris in a VM, and I discovered that they somehow have remained frozen in time in 1998 and had not significantly improved their user interface -- a big disappointment for me. I ended up with a default system that had a Java user interface and a /home/kern that was read-only (can you imagine that by default your home directory is read-only?). I finally gave up. What do you mean by Java user interface? Opensolaris is currently using Gnome Desktop version 2.28.0 I'm not sure what OpenSolaris version is in use these days or how much different it is from Solaris 10, but Solaris 10 is using something they they call Java Desktop, but I believe it is a skinned GNOME as well. The interface may look the same as 1998 (some would call that a selling point -- I'm personally indifferent), but it's current stuff. Are you using the automounter to mount /export/home/kern to /home/kern? if autofs is turned on (default) you can't write to /home because thats where the user directories are mounted Ah! I was confused about this one myself. Solaris doesn't use /home/kern anyhow, it would tend to use /export/home/kern. When that's the convention, you just go with it, and you tend not to run into these problems. I would have been happy to leave things there, but Sun has not stopped making my life difficult. First they bought MySQL, which is heavily used by Bacula users. Their latest source prerelease for Solaris, which two of our regression testers were using was simply broken and did not work. Great, Sun buys MySQL and breaks it! I can understand why the MySQL developers are leaving and MariaDB was created -- what a pity. This was due to a compiler bug: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=49091 a simple fix is to use mysql5 instead of the default mysql51 pkg install SUNWmysql5 Thanks for the information -- this made me a little nervous, but I figured that it wasn't really the way it sounded. I don't even think Sun is that intimately involved in MySQL at this point, are they? At least not non-MySQL Sun people. For the last several users I have been using VirtualBox. It has worked perfectly. Recently, my RHEL 64 when applying upgrades upgraded from RHEL 5.3 to 5.4, then shortly later, the VM hard disk image destroyed itself. The first time in 2 or 3 years that I had any problem. OK, that kind of thing can happen. What is destroyed itself? So, I upgraded from VirtualBox version 2.2 to version 3.1 on my Xeon machine. In doing so, the new Virtual box has destroyed *all* the VM images that I had (8-10). I don't know if you have ever setup and configured a VM, but it is not a trivial amount of work. Very peculiar. I upgraded from 2.2 to 2.4 to 3.0 (no 3.1 yet) and I have not had any problems. I suppose I might want to back up my VM's though. As far as I am concerned Sun OpenSource software venture stinks. I think with all the noise about Oracle buying them, and their blunders in implementation of OpenSolaris, MySQL, and VirtualBox, they have little chance of surviving in the Open Source software market. Perhaps their high-end hardware offerings will fare better. They have a lot of faults (I would say the documentation that never quite seems to relate to what I'm actually doing, the fact that you can call tech support and get nine different answers, the fact that if the question is hard, they may just not get back to you, etc...), but I haven't run into any of these and continue to rate my experience with them as largely positive. - -- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer II |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |novos...@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/CST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAksVObQACgkQmb+gadEcsb54OwCeMbdE6rl5m1Q2btyJ6ua37F+w hHwAoMom8J4v+PLL5rcWgQQhNeRDAuOE =EgZY -END PGP SIGNATURE- attachment: novosirj.vcf-- Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.

What do you mean by Java user interface? Opensolaris is currently using Gnome Desktop version 2.28.0 That surprised me too. It was a full Java user interface, and all I did was about 6 months ago install an OpenSolaris. It is possible that they gave me the choice between two user interfaces and I made the bad choice. Java Desktop is what Sun is calling their Gnome-based desktop, afaik. They do offer two interface choices out of the box: the Gnome Java Desktop, or CDE. Much though I detest Gnome, it's the more usable of the two. Hmmm. That sounds like what I saw. I vaguely remember trying CDE, but it was too different, so I chose the Gnome desktop, which like you I don't particularly like, but I can work with it. However, Gnome running under or implemented in Java makes it *much* slower and nothing like what I would call a normal Gnome desktop running under X Window. The reason it was slow, I don't know. But the Java name is just Sun being dopey. Same with the Java Enterprise System mail software. I'm fairly certain that no significant portion of it is written in Java, it's just what they choose to call it. Same with the dopey stock ticker symbol change from SUNW to JAVA. Perhaps the video driver you were using (or all of them -- I'm not really sure) is slower than the Linux equivalent. Oh, well. I guess if I try again, it isn't going to be any better than what I already saw. Sun has a really nice, stable OS, with ZFS. Too bad they cannot publish a modern GUI -- even their old Sun Windows was better looking than what I saw. You might see what the deal is with the video driver if you find it slow.

That's definitely the solution I would vote for. There are scripts and documentation available for moving in that direction... the other one is generally less supported and no doubt you'll need to eventually upgrade anyway. Upgrading clients is generally foolproof anyway, incidentally. For CentOS/RHEL machines in particular, I've just installed the new RHEL package and everything's been fine. Basically, the moral of the whole story is that the Director and Storage Daemon need to be running the same version.

Hmmm, I have a second client configured in the same manner. The only
difference is that the second client has 240 1gb volumes instead of 60
1gb volumes. The configs are identical and the larger client has no
issues. Both backup jobs start and finish within 10 minutes of each
other, yet the smaller backup has it's job purged and the larger backup
does not.
Still digging.

Changed the pool resource to not autoprune and the error was the same
last night.
Pool {
Name = ex3-allied-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
LabelFormat = ex3-allied-
Recycle = yes
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Purge Oldest Volume = yes
AutoPrune = no
Volume Retention = 12 hours
Maximum Volumes = 60
Maximum Volume Jobs = 0
Maximum Volume Bytes = 1G
}
The larger client mentioned above, again, no problems. If I have Job
Retention = 1 week then why is my current job not found in the catalog?
From the manual,
Job Retention = time-period-specification The Job Retention directive
defines the length of time that Bacula will keep Job records in
the Catalog database after the Job End time. When this time period
expires, and if AutoPrune is set to yes Bacula will prune (remove)
Job records that are older than the specified File Retention period.
As with the other retention periods, this affects only records in the
catalog and not data in your archive backup.
And the error clearly states No Job found for JobId 20126, when the
job is still running.
the only mention I ever seem to find of this error is a recent post by
Joshua J. Kugler, with no solution other than his issue went away and he
will keep an eye on it until it returns.
DAve
I find nothing different between the two configs that would explain why
one works and the other does not. So I created a new media pool called
exch3-allied-Pool, changed the name of the pool resource to the new name
in the director config, added volumes same as before, and now I have
been running without error since
Re: [Bacula-users] Error with DR backups
list media pool=exch3-allied-Pool shows no difference between the pools. The show commands provide more information. Bear in mind, also, that volume property changes must be updated on the individual volumes. If you change them in the config file, they will affect new volume defaults, not current ones. I do not know if this applies to your situation or not, but show should tell you. - -- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer II |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |novos...@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iD8DBQFK0z3kmb+gadEcsb4RAjKQAKDa7tMIduSJrcw2/PpjBjWWIsUfJQCeMlPv zk0MP1huD3hVHpxec6h3QDY= =rXz6 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Come build with us!

Why: One of the real strengths of bacula is the ability to query the database, and the fact that complex queries can be saved and referenced from a file is very powerful. However, the choice of query (both for interactive use, and by scripting input to the bconsole command) is completely dependent on the order within the query.sql file. The descriptve labels are helpful for interactive use, but users become used to calling a particular query by number, or may use scripts to execute queries. This presents a problem if the number or order of queries in the file changes. Wanted to give a +1 on this one.

Forums would also provide easier support access to younger folks (such as myself :P). I don't see how a forum would be any easier than E-mail. In my experience, it's the other way round. Whenever I have to use a forum for support it tends to be much more time consuming than simple E-mail. One major advantage to forums over email is that if I can connect to the forum, I've got a complete trail. Not necessarily with email. I read my e-mail in a threaded view, so I have the complete trail if I've chosen to keep it. This is why people who thread hijack irritate me (and possibly folks like me) more than some others. They don't realize that changing the subject line and deleting the message text is not the same as composing a new e-mail. At any rate, threaded view provides nearly the same thing without requiring me to go to another website somewhere (which I don't, at least not while I'm working). I'm not suggesting the removal of mailing lists in favor of forums, I'm merely suggesting the forums should be added to the main site, mainly in order to get support. That would exacerbate the manpower problem. How many mailing list participants will find the time to frequent a forum in addition? And if none of the mailing list participants frequent the forum, who will provide support there? I see the danger of fragmenting the Bacula user community into old hands on the mailing list and younger folks on the forums. Crosslinking the two isn't a viable solution either, as demonstrated by the Opensuse mailing lists whose usability has suffered seriously after the merge with the previously separate Opensuse forums. This one I'd agree with. One or the other, but not both. Cross populating would be difficult at best. Though it is done on a quasi regular basis. I think there are some aggregators out there that actually take THIS mailing list and import the stuff into a forum interface. I wonder if that isn't the best of both worlds? I don't go looking for that kind of stuff, so no I don't know the address, but it seems to me I've stumbled across it in the past. - -- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer II |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |novos...@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJR9f6mb+gadEcsb4RAj0QAKC6YT5c6mfp3uCdsD82AhbXiSXFWQCeO/Xf jiV/gqtQ+21X+pQxjKdpZ/w= =6aEX -END PGP SIGNATURE- begin:vcard fn:Ryan Novosielski n:Novosielski;Ryan org:UMDNJ;IST/AST adr;dom:MSB C630;;185 South Orange Avenue;Newark;NJ;07103 email;internet:novos...@umdnj.edu title:Systems Programmer II tel;work:(973) 972-0922 tel;fax:(973) 972-7412 tel;pager:(866) 20-UMDNJ x-mozilla-html:FALSE version:2.1 end:vcard -- SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

But tests 9 (orphaned Path records) and 10 (orphaned Filename records) are inacceptably long to complete. Configuration: dual Intel Pentium 4, 1 GB RAM, Linux 2.6.22.13, running Bacula 2.2.8 director with MySQL database and Bacula 2.2.8 storage daemon driving an LTO-1 tape drive, doing daily backups for 12 servers for a total data volume of about 70 GB. The catalog size reported by the catalog backup job is 300 MB. When started individually, dbcheck tests 3-8 and 11-15 run rather quickly (at most a few minutes). Check 9 finally completed after about 15 hours, pushing the nightly backup into the day and causing a lot of complaints. Check 10 has been running over the weekend for 40 hours now with no sign of getting anywhere. During that time, top shows mysqld constantly at 100% CPU while the second processor is basically idle. Is that normal? If so, how can I check my database without disrupting my regular backup cycle? If not, how can I find out what's wrong? I was involved in a thread about 9 months ago that had to do with this. There was a lot of back and forth between another person on this list and me about what to do. It came down to indexes in the catalog database and making sure your database was configured properly for the machine it was on. For example, my machine was for some reason using my-small.cnf's defaults (it is a relatively powerful machine, or was in its day, and does almost exclusively Bacula). Having changed both at the same time, I'm not sure which change did it. For specifics though, you should really check the archives.

Re: [Bacula-users] weekly backups
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Blake Irvin wrote: I'm attempting something very simple with Bacula that has not worked correctly yet. I've decided I need to start from scratch. Here are my goals: I want to back up to a rotation of 4 1tb hard drives over the course of 4 weeks. I want a full backup every Sunday, and incrementals every day after until I change disks on Monday morning. I want each disk to be re-used when necessary (that is, I don't need to keep any backup longer than a month). What's the best configuration to make this happen with Bacula? A high- level example should be enough to get me started, since I'm familiar with the basics of Bacula configuration. Most important aspects are: 1) Making sure that the volumes are limited in the amount of time they can be written to. That means if you want to change it on Monday, make sure that you can only write to the drive for something-a-little-less-than-7-days, for example. 2) Making sure that you limit the number of volumes in the pool (though this may or may not be explicitly necessary... it will be if you're doing autolabelling, but that sounds like something you wouldn't be doing here). 3) Making sure that when you run out of volumes the first time (after the 4th week), there is a volume that is old enough to be pruned. A retention time of something-a-little-less-than-30-days for example. I think I go with 28 on my systems for the weekly full backups. 4) Making sure that you either set the pool settings and then create the volumes or update them when you make changes. Many make the mistake of creating a pool, creating volumes, finding that doesn't work and fiddling with the params and finding it still doesn't work; trouble is the pool settings are really just a template for future volume creations, at least as pertains the things you can change with update volume Now... as far as the four drives are concerned? Can probably symlink the volume files into one place, or do a runbefore/runafter to change mount points. I don't really know -- I don't change disks.

Re: [Bacula-users] Improving catalog performance

After reading your recommendations on improving catalog performance. There are two rather simple solutions: - Don't keep file information for this job in the catalog. This makes restoring single mails difficult. - Tune your catalog database for faster inserts. That can mean moving it to a faster machine, assigning more memory for it, or dropping some indexes (during inserts). If you're not yet using batch inserts, try to recompile Bacula with batch-inserts enabled. Could you elaborate on how to: 1. Not keep file information for particular jobs in the catalog. 2. How does one drop an index during inserts? Make certain you've done all the optimizations you can before undertaking something more severe like this, however. I know my copy of MySQL was set to use very little system memory and I believe only a single thread, even though the machine it was running on was 3 CPU with 4GB system RAM. my-huge.cnf is a good place to start, if this machine is allowed to use a lot of resources for the DB. There are also scripts that can give you some basic advice about how to tune your DB.

It's about 70GB of data, stored on a Raid5 (3Ware controller). The database is a SQLite one, on the same machine but on a Software Raid 1. The backup device is an LTO3 connected via SCSI OS is a Debian stable. I already thought about moving the Database to MySQL but there is already a MySQL Server on the same box, it is a slave for our MySQL master and used for hourly Backups of our database (Stop the replication, do the backups and start the replication again). I don't really like the idea of adding a DB to the Slave that isn't on the master, nor do i like the idea of hacking up some custom MySQL install that runs parallel caus that will cost me with every future update. To be honest, i didn't expect that SQLite could be the bottle neck, it just can't be that slow. What made me think that its the number files, is that when i do an ls in that directory it takes ~15min before I see any output. My understanding is that you cannot expect decent performance out of SQLite for Bacula for any production level backup. I could be wrong here, but I say forget about SQLite for anything other than a trial, and definitely not using it for a backup that is extra demanding. You could use PostgreSQL if you wanted to avoid messing with the slave server (though something tells me that's not a major worry, but I am not sure about it), or just run MySQL on a different port which I don't think is all that hard (or, actually, use it in socket-only mode, which is even easier and I think would suffice). - -- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer II |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJLtgHmb+gadEcsb4RApbKAJ4gTg9fF8susc4iS6e44D9s7uWTxwCg2T/n hd0IuSIG6mg6J4FPrL/aRz8= =M8R0 -END PGP SIGNATURE- begin:vcard fn:Ryan Novosielski n:Novosielski;Ryan org:UMDNJ;IST/AST adr;dom:MSB C630;;185 South Orange Avenue;Newark;NJ;07103 email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Systems Programmer II tel;work:(973) 972-0922 tel;fax:(973) 972-7412 tel;pager:(866) 20-UMDNJ x-mozilla-html:FALSE version:2.1 end:vcard - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I figured you had access to a search engine :) basically Augeas is a language for describing configuration files so that they can be parsed into trees and manipulated uniformly. e.g., you could run set /files/etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf/job/foobar-job1/schedule Monday1 or set /files/etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf/director/my-dir/maximumconcurrentjobs 5 don't be mislead by /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf -- Augeas will handle recursively including other files, so this is just the filename of the starting point. one nice feature is that it takes comments and whitespace seriously, so comments are attached to configuration statements and will go away if the statement is removed. (obviously, depending on comment style it can't always do this 100% correctly, but it does its very best.) Sounds a little like 'defaults' on MacOS, except I guess the backend for that is XML (binary at this point). - -- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer II |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJEmoemb+gadEcsb4RAj8YAJ9LUdurUZItNyvAgLT2RZNaXG3fkQCgp6eS 3XkNdcgc6aqakfmCHj41E70= =hBB+ -END PGP SIGNATURE- begin:vcard fn:Ryan Novosielski n:Novosielski;Ryan org:UMDNJ;IST/AST adr;dom:MSB C630;;185 South Orange Avenue;Newark;NJ;07103 email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Systems Programmer II tel;work:(973) 972-0922 tel;fax:(973) 972-7412 tel;pager:(866) 20-UMDNJ x-mozilla-html:FALSE version:2.1 end:vcard - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

Re: [Bacula-users] Who talks to whom in bacula?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I think there is a chart early on in the manual if I'm not mistaken. Kevin Keane wrote: I would like to understand the way data flows in Bacula a bit better. Does the user data that is being backed up flow straight from the SD to the FD? Or does the SD send the data to the director, and the director then sends the data on to the FD? The reason I'm asking is that I would like to set up bacula to back up data locally on another site. Basically, I would like the director to be on a computer in, say, San Diego, and both the SD and FD would be on the same local network in, say, Los Angeles. The same director should also be able to control a similar SD/FD combination in Miami, New York and Seattle. Obviously, that's not practical if all data has to flow over the Internet and through the director, but if the director only exchanges control information with SD and FD, it might be very practical.

Re: [Bacula-users] automatically pruning the loaded volume
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I would strongly recommend not pursuing workarounds. This part of the software works just fine. I believe if your retention settings are correct, the pruning will happen by itself after a mount, and if they aren't no amount of manual pruning will save you. Tilman Schmidt wrote: I'm still wrestling with my problem of Bacula requesting a different volume although the one already loaded is eligible to be recycled. [1] As I cannot find a solution to the root problem I am now thinking about workarounds. One idea I'm currently pursuing is to preventively prune every volume after mounting it. What I'd need for that is a way to issue from a script a prune command for the volume which is currently loaded in a specific standalone tape drive. Unfortunately the prune command of bconsole requires the volume name to be specified. Any ideas how to specify currently mounted volume there? Note that the AutoPrune configuration directive does not help, because it doesn't work in the presence of appendable but inaccessible volumes in the pool.

I am not much of a programmer (despite my oddly-chosen title), but I
think this will be of interest to someone. The mem_pool.c no such file

The relevant section, BTW:

Is there a possibility that you're running out of memory here? Also,
which SQLite are you using?

It makes totals actually MORE readable (though I realize internationally, that might be subjective). I suspect it is a very easy change to make though, if one would want to.

Hm, I'm not sure if I get Your point. As far as I see it does already work, it is only not yet supported or present in the configuration options etc.etc. Actually Your post inspired me to experiment a bit, and (besides finding another bug in the migration code - patch will follow) I could create identical mirrors of already completed backup jobs, and move them from storage to storage. Really? How is this done? My understanding is that this was not currently possible, at least not inside the software. Sure, you could duplicate the tape itself so it was identical. In that case, both tapes would be identical and Bacula would not be able to tell them apart, which might be OK. Restore is not my concern, because I would direct such a mirror into a Pool with CatalogFiles=no, so there will be no restore from it. Fair enough. What is the rationale behind that? In the event that the primary backup will get lost/destroyed, that media could be replaced and the mirror migrated back to the new media - this step will automatically (actually as a side-effect) recreate the filelists in the catalog. Is that definitely the case? That sounds more like using bscan than a migration job. Can it be migrated without catalog information? Surely, there is still some way to go until this can be used in production, but the road should be more or less clear. Have you been reading the code, and that's why you know this is in there, or are you using a currently documented procedure in the current version? Or maybe You were talking of something different? Possibly. Let's find out. :) |You can run two backups, but for some places this is not compliant |with policy, as the backups will by definition NOT be identical. Yes, and doing two backups has another tradeoff: it puts extra load on the clients. The good solutions are either stream-duplication, so that the backup data flow from the client goes immediately to two tapedrives (usually in different buildings and attached via SAN). This is the most effective method, but I think it is a lot of work to bring this into Bacula: an FD would have to talk to two SD simultanously. There are plans for that as I understand it. There have been discussed problems about how to or whether to catalog both. I suppose if only one was cataloged, this problem goes away. When I think about it now, I see the cataloging on a second tape (or two copies of such a catalog anyhow) to be unnecessary, but I may be missing something. The other solution is to copy the backup after it is done. Here the disadvantage would be that one needs additional tapedrive ressources: not twice, but three times as much as for a single backup (taken that the tape throughput is fully exhausted). But this can be avoided with the disk staging. And this approach is already present in the Bacula code, and I would think it is quite functional. Surely those configurations are complicated - but those of the commercial solutions (the big ones, not the SMB-targeted) are not much less complicated. So my biggest concern is not how to do it. My biggest concern is: how good does Bacula handle severe concurrent activity? When doing backup to disk to tape, there should be at least 8 concurrent jobs on a disk storage object, and they should do something sensible... Are you talking about the case of 8 individual concurrent jobs running, or one job running and then subsequently splitting it somehow into a number of copies (either manually copying them or some sort of migration trick, etc.)? - -- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer II |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHr8MSmb+gadEcsb4RAtJsAJ9g/S2DY6pZVf5jMjlzt38iw8z4xgCdFdXJ tSht3DaKsvO+X/V/LoDNQ10= =lUdU -END PGP SIGNATURE- begin:vcard fn:Ryan Novosielski n:Novosielski;Ryan org:UMDNJ;IST/AST adr;dom:MSB C630;;185 South Orange Avenue;Newark;NJ;07103 email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Systems Programmer III tel;work:(973) 972-0922 tel;fax:(973

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Peter Much wrote: So now, if some of You are wondering what I'm actually trying to do with Bacula Storage Solution - well I would say I try to implement a straightforward ideal storage solution: 1. backups shall be saved to disk storage 2. disk storage shall be moved to tape after a certain time 3. tape storage shall be duplicated/mirrored Concerning 1: There are a lot of good reasons to save to disk. - You do not need to change tapes - The schedules will not interrupt unexpectedly for tapechange - Restore does not need a tape to load and works much quicker - You can increase backup frequency greatly, you could restore an accidentally deleted file even if it was created only half an hour earlier - You can tune the volume size to your demands Concerning 2: There are no good reasons to keep older backups on disk. - They are seldom required - They occupy a *lot* of space, which can find better use There are some more good reasons for 1+2: - I am seldom and irregularly on-site. Nevertheless I want a regularly scheduled backup - because when it is manually initiated backup, then it quickly becomes no backup at all. So the backup should go to disk, and when I'm on-site, I can manually start the migrate-to-tape (which I MUST do because otherwise the disk fills up). - The tapedrives can be powered off. They are noisy, and they add to the CO2 production. - disk-buffering is implicite, so no shoe-shining. Concerning 3: A tape cartridge is no more reliable than a disk. Actually you SHOULD be able to restore most of the data even if a piece of the tape is damaged, but with any modern tapedrive I think if the header of the tape cannot be read in an orderly fashion, then it gets similarly difficult as restoring from a broken disk, i.e. it needs special facilities. Now with disks it is totally convenient to have mirroring. Actually I can choose for every filesystem if I want to take the space from mirrored storage or from simple storage. For tapes there is obviousely no way of *mirroring*, as they are streaming devices. So there should be a way of duplicating, if in realtime with two drives or sequentially with one does not matter much, but with a finer granularity than image-copying whole tapes, and someway managed by software, as it is really boring to do this manually. Now putting this into practice with Bacula gives a couple of issues, which I am currently working on. Your writeup is very well done. I would ask that when you DO figure out how to do this , you share some of your documentation as it somewhat looks like you will be writing some and that it would be something that would be helpful to have in the wiki. To the technical points you discuss, you will discover that tape mirroring is a problem, as currently choosing which media from which to restore is not something that would work with Bacula the way things are now. You can run two backups, but for some places this is not compliant with policy, as the backups will by definition NOT be identical. - -- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer II |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHrHFemb+gadEcsb4RAnadAKDTLjyj4sxzjI3qe3ADFNuhubfMMwCffWQh giXIRMqbOxmfrTH4gfm/wpE= =Ov0H -END PGP SIGNATURE- begin:vcard fn:Ryan Novosielski n:Novosielski;Ryan org:UMDNJ;IST/AST adr;dom:MSB C630;;185 South Orange Avenue;Newark;NJ;07103 email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Systems Programmer III tel;work:(973) 972-0922 tel;fax:(973) 972-7412 tel;pager:(866) 20-UMDNJ x-mozilla-html:FALSE version:2.1 end:vcard - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Keep replies on the list -- you'll get more assistance that way.
Sure - seems like my reply list was incorrect this morning - will check.
That is possible. Seems to me what's actually goofing you up here is
that the backup is hung waiting for a tape, since it wasn't there when
the backup started. The next backup will then wait for that one. A
cancellation should allow the next backup to start anew. It
theoretically want the wrong tape, but as long as your tape is ABLE to
be written, AFAIK, it will be written to when it is presented with that
tape.
A cancellation cleared the job queue, It looks as some intervention is
unavoidable when a
tape is missed as I have been working through this problem for a while
now. However some
interventions is required, the tape needs to be changed! so to cancel a
job is not a huge amount
of extra work. It would be nice if entering the next tape was all an
untrained user needed to do.
What gives you the idea that you need to do more than that? If an
acceptable tape is placed in the drive, the software should attempt to
mount it by itself.
I suspect you are running with AlwaysOpen = yes? This is not desirable
in this situation. While AlwaysOpen = no is harder on the tape drive by
design, if you are replacing the tape every day and only using it once,
there is no specific harm in closing the tape (you'd need to reopen it
on the next one anyway). AlwaysOpen an some of the polling options I
suspect make this come together.

Re: [Bacula-users] Getting an error on many Win32 Backups
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I send this note every once in awhile, since I know around my workplace there is a lot of confusion over it. Both ends of a network connection must be either hard-coded to the same speed and duplex, or set to auto/auto. Any other combination will result in the end that is set to auto stairstepping down from fastest to slowest until it finds a comparable rate, and WILL use half duplex. So I suppose to adjust my comments a little, if you are using 100/half on one end and auto/auto on the other, that will work, but I'd say it's not a great habit to get into (and who uses half duplex on anything other than 10-base-T anyway?).

It seemed to happen pretty frequently on the first handful of Windows machines of the day (the most critical ones too). I found that after I upgraded my SD to 2.2.6 or 2.2.7 that the problems greatly deminished. I have one every few days now instead of constantly 5-7 every day or every other day. The Windows FD version has not changed. Robert -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Philip W. Dalrymple III Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2008 5:17 AM To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Bacula-users] Getting an error on many Win32 Backups We are getting a common error on a number of backups from Windows clients, the Linux ones work without problems. We are running 2.0.3 director from the fedora repros The storage demon is 2.0.2 (not updated) the fault will happen on Full, Inc. and Diff backups. It does not happen at the same number of bytes or time. The backups where working a few month ago but we had a hardware fault on the directory and needed to re-build and reload the OS. The Storage server (different hardware from the director) has not changed nor has the file daemon. There is enough space on the File system for spooling (set to 50 Gig with 87 Gig free). I am not sure why it is spooling data here the Full should be about 6 Gig and there should be plenty of space (there was no other job running at the time of the example below but I do run 4 jobs at a time (and was doing so before when everything works. This is failing on a number of very different windows hardware and OS version but working on a number of different Linux hardware an OS version (mostly the same version of bacula but some differences. Should I try to set a Heartbeat Interval on either the SD or FD (I did not need this before)? the errors look like the following: 21-Jan 22:59 is-net-4-dir: Start Backup JobId 17447, Job=blue-cdrive.2008-01-21_21.10.28 22-Jan 00:00 is-net-1-sd: Spooling data ... 21-Jan 23:52 blue-fd: blue-cdrive.2008-01-21_21.10.28 Fatal error: ../../filed/backup.c:860 Network send error to SD.
