[Bacula-users] restrict pool to write to single volume
Hi there,
I don't know if this has been discussed but google won't show me
relevant results.
I use bacula to backup to eternus library with 4 drives. Multi drive
config and simultaneous write works great. But what I need is to
restrict one pool (offsite pool) to write to only single volume so that
I can take it out of the library and store in a safe place. My total
backup size fits in single media. Single media restriction is required
for only one pool. The other pools should not be affected. How can i
achieve this? My pool config is below.
Thanks.
Pool {
Name = Offsite
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
#Use Volume Once = yes
Volume Retention = 365 days # one year
Maximum Volume Bytes = 4924983103488
#Recycle Pool = Offsite
}

Re: [Bacula-users] update slots reports Autochanger has 0 slots
Hello Ana,
What I recently experienced was Autochanger has 0 slots error when
AutoChanger = yes line is missing in Device directive in bacula-sd.conf with
Centos 6 and Bacula 5.2.13
Best regards,

Hello Rainer,
Can you try changing Device Name? You have Name and Media Type using the same
LTO-5. Bacula doesn´t work fine when you use the same name for different
things. If you could, I recommend you setting name with Drive-0 or something
like this:
Autochanger {
Name = Autochanger
Device = Drive-0
Device {
Name = Drive-0
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = LTO-5
...
}
Best regards,
Ana

Merhaba Can,
Maybe the Device directive in bacula-sd.conf, where the drives are defined, is
missing AutoChanger = yes line.

Hello Bacula users,
Have some problems with a Quantum SuperLoader 3 LTO-6, and try to break them
down in small pieces… here is one:
“update slots“ command in bconsole says:
Automatically selected Catalog: MyCatalog
Using Catalog MyCatalog
Automatically selected Storage: Autochanger
Connecting to Storage daemon Autochanger at 192.168.1.15:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger slots command.
Device Autochanger has 0 slots.
No slots in changer to scan.
But:
“/usr/libexec/bacula/mtx-changer /dev/changer slots” reports 16
Of course the Autochanger has 16 slots.
Someone has an idea?
Best regards
Rainer

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula can't make use of multi drives
At last !!!
Finally setting same priority for the jobs did the job. Now bacula can write
to all 4 drives for the jobs that are in the same pool simultaneously.
Thanks for the support.

Hello!
If you want to run concurrent jobs, you should define the same priority for all
of them. From the manual: Bacula concurrently runs jobs of only one priority
at a time. It will not simultaneously run a priority 1 and a priority 2 job.

Back in March 2014 Wolfgang Denk wrote it can but how? http://adsm.org/lists/html/Bacula-users/2014-03/msg00212.html It's not a bug, but just the way it's designed. Prefer Mounted Volumes=no it's a directive that could allow to write multiple volumes within the same pool at the same time, however this is a little buggy and not recommended at this time. It's not a bug, but it is a little buggy?? I think that the only problem with setting Prefer Mounted Volumes = no is that it will result in a lot of moving of a volume back and forth between drives. While it might not be a bug, since it works as advertised, it CAN be a problem. For tape, it will really slow things down because it takes a substantial time to move a tape out of one drive and into another. For disk virtual autochangers, though, the moving between drives is simply closing a disk file and then re-opening it, meaning that the delay is very negligible. I would really prefer autochanger to move volumes back and forth rather than wait a couple of hours for the job to finish especially when there are 3 drives just sitting lazy. If there is some other issue, like a race condition that I am not aware of, then that would indeed be a bug in my book. But I have used PreferMountedVolumes=no for disk virtual autochanger without (so far) encountering any such problems, just the swapping between drives. And for disk virtual autochangers, I don't see that as a problem in and of itself.

Dear Kern,
I applied solution 1 AND 3 without success.

Hello,
There are a number of different ways to write to several drives at the
same time. They are listed with the preferred solution (for most
cases) first and the worst solution last.
1. This is probably the simplest and best. Simply limit the number of
simultaneous jobs by putting a Maximum Simultaneous Jobs = nn inside
each Device resource in your bacula-sd.conf file. Bacula version
7.0.x comes with this directive in the Device resources as a default.
Do you mean Maximum Concurrent Jobs = nn ? But wait, I put the setting
in Storage and Job definitions in bacula-sd.conf and bacula-dir.conf. I
will update the bacula-sd.conf to use the setting in Device resource and
see what happens.
2. As other people have pointed out, direct the output of different
jobs to different Pools. This is very good for separating backups by
say department, but is not an ideal way to limit concurrency.
3. Set Prefer Mounted Volumes = no. I *strongly* recommend against
using this directive. It will inevitably lead to problems.

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula can't make use of multi drives
Thanks for the response heitor,
Is it a bug that bacula cannot write to multiple drives for the jobs in
the same pool? Will there be a fix. Back in March 2014 Wolfgang Denk
wrote it can but how?

Hey Mr. Suleyman: if you want Bacula to write in more than one drive
simultaneously, the most reliable option is submit the job into
different pools at the same given scheduled time.

Re: [Bacula-users] exclude day from schedule
Sample schedule is missing weekly and montly pools. Each pools retention
time is different. Daily pool expires after a week. Weekly pool expires
after 4 weeks, monthly pool expires after 12 months. Sometimes it is
necessary to restore previous backups not the latest. This way I have a
wide range of options to restore.
But i'm not sureif itis better by including weekly and montly pool media
to daily pool and set the expiration time to 365 daysand only backup to
daily pool. If you want to restore a 6 months old backup, how do you
configureyour schedule?

You are right that I have two full backups on sunday, it is a mistake.
I should remove daily backup on sundays.
The really strange thing is that you are running a full backup to the
Daily pool at 3:17 each morning and an incremental each day except
Sunday at 19:05 to the Weekly pool. Assuming normal business hours, that
means you are doing an incremental followed by a full each day. Do you
need two backups each day?
The sample schedule looks pretty good and appears to do what you want:
Schedule {
Name = ScheduleTest
Run = Full 1st sun at 23:05
Run = Differential 2nd-5th sun at 23:05
Run = Incremental mon-sat at 23:05
}
In fact, you could even simplify it to running a full every Sunday and
incrementals in between.
Schedule {
Name = ScheduleTest2
Run = Full sun at 23:05
Run = Incremental mon-sat at 23:05
}
If you put the incrementals into a different pool from the
full/differential then you keep the size of the pool you want offsite
manageable.
If you are backing up the catalogue (a common practise) along with the
files, then you don't need to run a full backup to an Offsite pool. I
just copy the Weekly pool to a removable drive/media each week after the
weekly Full or Differential backup finishes. This can be done as a
RunAfterJob script or as a cron job. Should you need to restore the
pool, just copy it back to your disk drive.

[Bacula-users] exclude day from schedule
Hi,
I read the docs but couldn't find any info. Is it possible to exclude
from schedule? My schedule is as follows:
Schedule {
Name = MultipleRUN
Run = Level=Full Pool=Daily mon-sun at 3:17
Run = Level=Full Pool=Weekly sun at 9:05
Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Weekly mon-sat at 19:05
Run = Level=Full Pool=Monthly 1st sat at 2:05
Run = Level=Full Pool=Offsite 1st fri at 2:05
}
What I'm trying to do is to prevent Daily full backup from running when
thereis a Monthly full backup is scheduled for the same day.
Is the following possible?
Run = Level=Full Pool=Daily mon-sun at 3:17 *not 1 st sat*
Thanksfor your time.

This schedule looks strange to me, because incremental jobs are always
relative to the last full job, but you are sending them all to the Weekly
pool. On Monday it will be relative to the Pool=Daily full and on the 1st
Friday it will be relative to the Pool=Offsite full.
__Martin
I thought incrementals were relative to the last backup job and
differentials relative to the last full backup. He does a full on Sunday
to the weekly pool and incrementals the rest of the week. Each
incremental should have just the day's changes.
What I find strange is that he's running the Offsite a day before the
Monthly while the Weekly full is 31 hours after the Monthly. Given that
the month doesn't always start on the same day of the week, the various
backups could be done on different weeks (e.g. the first Saturday may be
before or after the first Sunday).
Another strange thing is that he's running both full and incremental
backups each day, with two full backups on Sunday. I don't understand
why anyone would do this.

I seem to remember that was a bug in some old version of Bacula. Which version are you using? We are running 5.0.0-9 on a RHEL 6.3 machine. I'm quite happy with Simone Caronni's Bacula builds for RHEL from http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/slaanesh/bacula/epel-6/x86_64/ . It's currently at release 5.2.12-7. Scanning through my old logs, I see I did get that same message back when I still ran 5.0.0. It disappeared after the upgrade to 5.2.6 in March 2012. Before I actually do the upgrade, I was wondering, if it is just an erroneous message and it actually is purging on the 180 day job retention? The reason I ask is last week I had reached a point where I needed to start re-using old volumes. Which I was able to resolve by adjusting the Volume retention time. But I think when I did that it also overrides the job and file retention anyway, so it really was not a problem. I think I will use bconsole and see if I can determine if the job and file retention times are being used as expected.

Now the problem; full and incremental backups are not bound to pools, bacula
just picks up the last full backup to compare, regardless of the pool when
preparing for the incremental. When I remove the cartridge out of the
office, there is a chance that the corresponding full backups are still
located in the library, and my montly backup is useless without a recent
full backup.
How can i make sure my monthly backup consists of a full backup and
incrementals derived from the full on the same media
I would do a separate job and schedule for the offline set. This way
the incrementals will work correctly instead of being based on the
daily full backups.
In this case you keep the exact same fileset but have a different job
and a different schedule resource.
John
Thanks for yor reply John,
I have more than 15 different fd-clients that needs to be backed up, is
it practical to create extra 15 more jobs for monthly offsite backups?
