Re: [Bacula-users] slightly annoying bug in the console
This is what you said James Harper I'm not sure if this is just something peculiar to my configuration, but in the text console for bacula, if I type a command then backspace over it then press enter, bacula still acts as if I typed the command, or at least part of it. Does anyone else see this or is it just me?

[Bacula-users] RPMS (bacula 2.2.5) and file locations
I built the RPMS for bacula 2.2.5 from the src.rpm file downloaded from sourceforge. Taking a quick look at some of the files and my system I am wondering if the files in the RPM are installed to the correct location? Logwatch files: In the bacula RPM it looks like the logwatch files are placed in the following directories: /etc/log.d/conf/logfiles/bacula.conf /etc/log.d/conf/services/bacula.conf /etc/log.d/scripts/services/bacula On my CentOS 4 and CentOS 5 systems that is not the location for the logwatch files. Instead of /etc/log.d I think /etc/logwatch should be used. Possibly even this directory /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/. Logrotate file: From the RPM in the file /etc/logrotate.d/bacula the log file points to /var/lib/bacula/log for the log file. This in fact does match the log location that is configured in the default /etc/bacual/bacula-dir file, but to stay consistent with the Red Hat file system layout I would think that the appropriate location for these files would be somewhere in the /var/log directory structure.

Subject: [Bacula-users] Client Run Before job
I gave up a while back on getting a job to run on the client before
doing the backup. Mostly all I am trying to do is get an MySQL backup
(mysqldump) to run before I do a backup job that includes the file just
created. As I recall, I was having a problem with the return code
indicating the job had completed. I tried all of the suggestions in the
manual, to no avail.
Anyone out there have a simple step by step set of rules, scripts,
whatever to get this accomplished for both the director conf and the
client scripts?
Sorry to be so vague on the problem errors I received, but it's been a
while back and I got pulled away for another little fire. Kinda new to
bacula also, although I'm fairly certain I have RTFM concerning this
area. For now, I just run a job in cron to do the mysqldump in time to
have the output ready for the bacula backup, but it would be nice to
have it all run together.
Here is what I use:
http://www.worldcommunity.com/opensource/utilities/mysql_backup.html
This is the directive I use in my job{} definition:
ClientRunBeforeJob= /usr/local/bin/mysqlbackup/mysqlbackup.pl
Then of course my FileSet {} definition would include the directories where
the compressed archives have been created.
As I use this configuration at home, it works fine for me. In the version I
am using, clear text password is stored in configuration file so this would
need to be evaluated in your environment.

Re: [Bacula-users] Client Run Before job
Thanks Scott,
Can I assume the script does all of the waiting required before starting
the data backup? How would this differ from just setting up a shell
script that has a mysqldump statement in it? I don't read Perl real well
and didn't see anything that does that (at least based on my knowledge
of Perl) and just skimming the file.
Sorry do be demanding, but this is the crutch of the problem I had
before. Any type of shell didn't return a code before timing out. The
manual addresses this, but in a couple of different ways. At the present
time, by doing the mysqldump from cron locally on the client, and using
logrotate to keep the directory clean, it works pretty well, but still
I'd like to get it working with the benefit of ClientRunBefore.
Yes, I use this script with bacula as mentioned before and it works great
for me. I keep one week of bzip2 files which contain a dump of each of my
MySQL databases. Each day I receive an e-mail which contains the output
from this script (databases that were backed up, compressed file names,
etc. Again, this works great for me, but may not be right for everyone.
Actually the make_catalog_backup script, which is used in the
BackupCatalog Job {} definition, that comes with bacula is basically doing
exactly what you are trying to accomplish. It uses mysqldump to dump the
bacula database to a file. That file is backed up, and then the file is
deleted after the backup is completed. Possibly you just want to take a
look at the make_catalog_backup script and the BackupCatalog job for an
example?
I am sure there are many different processes people have implemented to
accomplish this task, I was just mentioning the one I chose and works well
for me.
Good Luck.

If all works as expected when backing up to the non-USB drive, then maybe something is wrong in the way USB is being virtualized/configured. Is anyone else successfully running a similar environment? As bacula is the only program that appears to cause the problem I am making an assumption it is a problem with bacula. If anyone has this type of environment working successfully I would like to hear about it. I had reported it was believed that not backing up the VMware disk files of a live virtual machine solved the problem. Unfortunately I was wrong and the problem persists. Now that more testing has been completed, I can officially say the problem still exists. I recompiled the kernel, upgraded VMWare Workstation (to version 6), Upgraded VMWare Tools, and rebuilt all the VMWare modules using the same gcc that the kernel was built with, but none of that helped. I have the exact same issue. Unfortunately the problem is not always present as the backups do complete some of time. The only constant is that the hard crash only happens when bacula is running. Although the VM is not configured with a USB device there might possibly be some contention with the physical USB drive I back up to and the VM instance. As the crash does not happen every time it is hard to determine what exactly is going on. As no other programs really access the USB device, and the crash only happens when bacula is running, I am just guessing the problem might be with that combination. I know this is not really a priority on anyone's list, but I thought I would keep everyone informed who might have been following this thread.

If I run 'sudo -u bacula /etc/bacula/make_catalog_backup param1 param2 param3' from a shell prompt the shell script executes correctly creating the bacula.sql file in the /var/lib/bacula directory. When run from the BackupCatalog job the file is never created. In my case no error is displayed and the job completes (except no data gets backed up). This too was from an RPM upgrade of 2.0.3 to 2.2.4 on a CentOS 4.5 x86_64 system. I have not really researched this fully to be honest, including reading the release notes and new documentation, I just thought I would also piggy-back the OP at it sounds like a very similar problem that may require some attention. I have noticed I also use the directive ClientRunBeforeJob in other jobs and not the RunBeforeJob that was put in the BackupCatalog job definitions as part of the default 1.3.8.x installation.

[Bacula-users] Bacula 2.2.4 RPMS (x86_64) -- RunBeforeJob (make_catalog_backup) -- [SOLUTION]
I was not able to respond to the corresponding thread so here is the answer to the problem with upgrading to Bacula 2.2.4 from the src.rpm file and the catalog backup no longer working (although I originally assumed it to be a problem with the RunBeforeJob directive). In all my previous upgrades the make_catalog_backup script created the bacula.sql file in the /var/bacula directory. Also, the Catalog FileSet in my configuration always had the following directive: File = /var/bacula/bacula.sql. After upgrading to version 2.2.4 the make_catalog_backup script instead uses /var/lib/bacula. The Catalog FileSet in the bacula-dir.conf.rpmnew also has the following directive: File = /var/lib/bacula/bacula.sql. These two match as they should, but unfortunately my old bacula-dir.conf file still used the /var/bacula directory. So although the bacula.sql file was being created and later deleted it was never getting backed up. I have now changed the the File directive in my Catalog FileSet to match the correct directory and everything is working as it should. I assume this is all just something configured during the configure/make process, but I am surprised this is the first time this has bit me because this is not the first time I have built RPM packages from the src.rpm file and upgraded my environment. This might be documented somewhere and I just missed it. I just thought I would point this out just in case someone runs into a similar issue.

Re: [Bacula-users] BACULA/VMWARE crashes entire system [ON-GOING PROBLEM]
This is what you said Robert LeBlanc Try excluding the VM's vmdk file directory from Bacula. My guess is that it is trying to read an ever changing file (the virtual hard disk). If you want to back-up your VMs while they are running, look into automating snapshots and be sure to exclude the portion of the snapshot that is holding the changes (usually name_of_VM-snap.vmdk or something like that.

Once those have errors have been resolved, the following error is produced
during the build process:
+ chmod 755 /rpmbuild/tmp/bacula-root/usr/sbin/bacula-tray-monitor
chmod: cannot access
`/rpmbuild/tmp/bacula-root/usr/sbin/bacula-tray-monitor': No such file or

The following command was used to build the RPMs which worked for version
2.0.3.
rpmbuild -bb --define build_centos4 1 --define build_mysql5 1 bacula.spec
Thanks.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula Version: 2.1.28/MySQL 5 (new install)errors [SOLVED].

Is there something with MySQL5 that I need to consider that I did not have to with MySQL4? There is an upgrade script which you need to run manually. This will perform any database modifications required for the latest version you are running When I looked at the upgrade script it did not look like it would have any impact and the script was for upgrading older 1.38 type databases. FYI, I'm running 2.0.3 and do not have a batch table. I checked the database creation and update files. It does not seem to create the batch table. I'll check with devel@ and find out the story. I did a quick google for Media record for Volume not found and did not come up with anything useful. I am not sure what that error is telling me. It's tell you that it could not find an entry for the Volume it is trying to backup. BTW: Did you happen to drop the old database and create a new one for Bacula? Is FULL-0001 a VOLUME label that you created with the previous version of Bacula? I dropped tables and database after I could not get things working with old database. I have created the database and tables from scratch several times. Each time, the scripts completes successfully and database/tables are created. When the daemons are started for the first time, the bacula.Pool table is updated with the information from the bacula-dir.conf file. As such, I assumed bacula/MySQL are playing nice with each other. The FULL-001 is an auto-labled/auto-created volume (on disk). I will admit I have not looked at the manual in quite some time as the backups were working fine before the MySQL upgrade. I am hoping someone knows what this error means and can point me in the right direction. Interestingly enough when I built the src.rpm (v2.0.3) using: rpmbuild -bb --define build_centos4 1 --define build_mysql5 1 bacula.spec It appears to be working fine. When I used the following configure command when compiling from source (v2.0.3) when I had MySQL v4.x everything also worked fine. CFLAGS=-g -Wall -O0 -I/usr/lib64/mysql \ LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib64/mysql -L/lib64 -L/usr/lib64 \ ./configure \ --sbindir=/usr/local/sbin/bacula \ --sysconfdir=/etc/sysconfig \ --with-scriptdir=/etc/bacula \ --enable-smartalloc \ --with-pid-dir=/var/run \ --with-subsys-dir=/var/lock/subsys \ --enable-conio \ --with-openssl \ --with-mysql \ --with-working-dir=/usr/local/bin/bacula/working \ --with-dump-email=[EMAIL PROTECTED] \ --with-job-email=[EMAIL PROTECTED] \ --with-dir-user=bacula \ --with-dir-group=bacula \ --with-sd-user=bacula \ --with-sd-group=bacula \ --with-fd-user=root \ --with-fd-group=root \ --with-python Unfortunately using the above configure command with v2.0.3 and 2.1.x Betas when using MySQL v5 there appear to be some issues. The source compiles without error, but the above described symptoms are present. Is there something blatantly wrong with the configure command when using a MySQL5 database? Thanks. - This SF.net

Re: [Bacula-users] Windows (FD v2.0.1): ClientRunBeforeJob
This is what you said Erich Prinz Agreed Troy! Add the .exe to the path name. I ran into this very same issue 'assuming' the extension would otto-magically be added. So much for assuming Erich On Jan 19, 2007, at 12:40 AM, Troy Daniels wrote: Hi Scott, I might be completely wrong but have you tried to append .exe to the ntbackup command? On my systems at least the full path is c:\WINDOWS\system32 \ntbackup.exe Microsoft normally tries to be nice and append the .exe extension automatically, but something may have changed in the latest version that interferes with that. However, it also hides the extension in by default in Explorer which leads to confusion more often than not in my experience. What version were you running before upgrading? And what version of Windows are you running? The answers to the above might help others answer your original question. Hope this helps, Troy Daniels. Perth Systems Admin. iTouch Australia (pty) ltd. To answer Kern, it was working with version 1.39.27. I can not remember what the actual version of the Windows FD was at that time. Both director and FD were upgraded at the same time when version 1.39.27 was installed. Now the Window FD is version 2.0.1. I will definitely give adding the extension (.EXE) a try, but I am not sure why that would make a difference. The .BAT file, which calls the ntbackup.exe, program works fine (from an windows command prompt). This leads me to believe the syntax in the .BAT file is correct. I assume the bacula-dir.conf file is correct because the .BAT file IS being called (or so appears from bacula's messages). The messages show the commands from the .BAT file. The problem is that what is in the .BAT does not run (when executed from bacula). The results are the same if I add the .EXE extension to the command line in the .BAT file. Below are the results: ClientRunBeforeJob: run command C:/Program Files (x86)/Bacula/bin/backup_systemstate.bat ClientRunBeforeJob: ClientRunBeforeJob: C:\WINDOWS\system32C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup.exe backup systemstate /F C:\SystemState\systemstate.bkf ClientRunBeforeJob: 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, ClientRunBeforeJob: operable program or batch file. ClientRunBeforeJob: ClientRunBeforeJob: C:\WINDOWS\system32exit 0 I do not doubt the problem could be me, but this used to work in earlier versions of bacula. I started using this .BAT file in version 1.38.11. Thanks. Scott - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Bacula-users] Windows (FD v2.0.1): ClientRunBeforeJob [RESOLVED]
This is what you said Martin Simmons On Thu, 18 Jan 2007 20:23:38 -0700 (MST), Scott Ruckh said: Importance: Normal I am trying to call a .BAT file using ClientRunBeforeJob. The config used to work fine before upgrading the Windows FD 2.0.1. It looks like the syntax in my bacula-dir.conf file is correct. It looks like the .BAT file is being called, and for some reason there is a problem with the .BAT file. Taking Bacula out of the equation, running the .BAT file works without any problem. Possibly the environment/context that the Bacula FD runs under is different then the user I am using to run the .BAT file. The security on the actual files appears to be correct for the SYSTEM user, which is what I believe is the context for the Bacula FD. Perhaps someone can lend some assistance. Here is what is reported from Bacula's messages. ClientRunBeforeJob: run command C:/Program Files (x86)/Bacula/bin/backup_systemstate.bat ClientRunBeforeJob: ClientRunBeforeJob: C:\WINDOWS\system32C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup backup systemstate /F C:\SystemState\systemstate.bkf ClientRunBeforeJob: 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup' is not recognized as an internal or external command, ClientRunBeforeJob: operable program or batch file. ClientRunBeforeJob: ClientRunBeforeJob: C:\WINDOWS\system32exit 0 Yes, C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup, does exist and is the correct PATH. This is a 64-bit Windows system, right? If so, then I think you are being hit by the way that 64-bit Windows hacks file names when running 32-bit programs. Basically what happens is that a 32-bit program accessing C:\WINDOWS\system32 actually accesses C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64, which contains files that a 32-bit Windows installation would provide. The real C:\WINDOWS\system32 contains 64-bit Windows. The problem is that Bacula runs C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe to execute your .BAT file. Because Bacula is a 32-bit program, it ends up runing the 32-bit cmd from C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\cmd.exe. Then when this cmd runs C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup, it actually tries to run C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\ntbackup, which doesn't exist. To make it work, you'll have to put a copy of C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup.exe is some other directory. __Martin Martin is right on! Thanks! Great find as I forgot to mention I was trying to run script on x64 system and originally I was running it on x32. It is still completely insane and does not make sense. Why can't the other command interpreter locate the fully qualified path to the ntbackup executable. Is that other directory structure unavailable when launched from the other cmd.exe interpreter? G!!! I am not a fan of Windows x64. Everyday I find something new I do not like. Thanks for the help. I hope this thread will educate others with similar situations. Maybe a 64bit Windows bacula FD would help? Now back to x32 where drivers worked and programs functioned as expected. Scott - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Bacula-users] Windows Service not starting
I just upgraded director, storage daemon and clients (both Linux and Windows). Director, storage daemon, and Linux client built from CVS sources. The version from bconsole reports: Version: 1.39.27 (24 October 2006). The Windows client (winbacula-1.39.26.exe) which was installed was downloaded from sourceforge. Per ReleaseNotes I did the following: Manually copy the *.conf files from C:\Bacula\bin to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bacula. cd c:\bacula\bin net stop bacula net stop baculfd ./bacula-fd /remove (Install the new Bacula) The bacula service path to executable looks like the following: C:\bacula\bin\bacula-fd.exe /service -c C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bacula\bacula-fd.conf During automatic start after system boot up or if I manually try to restart the service I get the following error: Source: Service Control Manager Event ID: 7034 The Bacula File Server service terminated unexpectedly.

Yes. Look at the Pool parameters. I use this:
Maximum Volume Bytes = 1GB
Wops. I completely overlooked this. But I guess in order to use this
parameter you have to let Bacula automatically create volumes in the
pool, don't you?
No, not AFAIK, you can still create volumes manually. Not very
practical, but you could.
Hm I never had the intention to create volumes manually...but actually
bacuala didn't try to add volumes to the pool by itself at all. Did I
overlook something? Automatic labeling is enabled in the
bacula-configuration(s) but after bacula hit the max-volume-bytes limit
it simply stopped (complaining about Cannot find any appendable
volumes). Is there anything else that I have to activate in order to
get this feature up and running? FYI, I'm running bacula 1.38.11 with
mysql.
Are you using Maximum Volumes = in your Pool Definition. If you are
using a hard limit, make sure you have enough volumes.
I have a pool definition that looks like the following and it acts as
expected.
Pool
{
Name = INCR-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 1 months
Accept Any Volume = yes
Maximum Volume Jobs = 12
Maximum Volumes = 53
Maximum Volume Bytes = 2147483648
LabelFormat = INCR-

You should change it NOW.
Any suggestions?
Yes - Read the manual for mysqldump. There are some options you should
consider for good results. Think about locking, key disabling,
--add-drop-tables for example. This depends on your restore needs, though.
Make sure the command you execute results in the action you want. Run it
from a shell, as the user Bacula would run it as.
Make sure there are no errors. For example, I could imagine that
--all-databases might conflict with giving a limited account to use.
Verify that the database dump actually contains all the info you need.
And, last not least, do you have any error messages?
As the original poster is not concerned with passwords, check out:

It is a configurable perl script that can be run before a backup to dump
databases to disk.

[Bacula-users] Bacula causing system crash.
I have discussed this topic before but I was not sure at had enough evidence to defend my stance. Anyway, 3 or 4 weeks have passed and I still have the same problem. I am wondering if anyone else has a similar set up to mine. I am running CentOS 4.3 (x86_64) with latest vendor supplied patches. I am running bacula 1.38.8 compiled from source. I am backing up to disk (external USB2 WD-500GB disk). I am running fluxbox windows manager and running VMWare Workstation 5.5x. I run anywhere between 2-4 virtual machines within VMWare. Typically I have 1 x Windows 2003 Virtual Machine and 1 x CentOS Virtual machine running. The problem is that bacula will crash the host system, the CentOS machine, when it begins to write files to the USB disk. I have a job to backup the database before backup run. This job always completes, but after that the host system is in the state of no return. You can not get video signal, and can not see anything on the screen. The host system, the bacula server, is completely hung. I ran this system for a month or so without any problems without any virtual machines. Then I ran for almost 2 weeks straight with the 2 VMs listed above running. As soon as I added a 3rd machine running (a Fedora Core 5) the system crashed in the same spot. Although the environment runs fine all day long, as soon as bacula finishes backing up the databases and begins backups the host system will crash. Last night it killed the host system with only the 2 Virtual machines running. It crashed in exactly the same spot. Last night would have been a FULL backup as opposed to an incremental backup. This problem is definitely related to bacula. Everything else works fine all day long. The system hangs in the exact same spot when it dies (according to the log files). I originally thought maybe there was a contention problem with the external USB drive and USB devices in the Virtual Machines. I disabled all USB devices in the virtual machines thinking that would help, but it has not helped the situation. Bacula and VmWare are definitely not playing nice together. Does anyone have any suggesstions? Is anyone successfully running a similar environment? If anyone has some insight on a resolution I would appreciate your input.

[Bacula-users] System crashing hard -- presumably Bacula is the culprit
I have been running bacula Version: 1.38.8 (compiled from source) for a few months now. I am running CentOS 4.3 on an x86_64 platform. I am backing up to disk (external USB storage). This has been running fine for the past few months. This week the system has crashed hard (no kernel panic) 2 times. I can not find anything of value in any of the system logs. It is a complete hang of the system. I am running VMware Workstation on this server. The reason I mention this is because the only significant change to the system this week is that more VM instances have been running on the server this week. All day long the Virtual Machines and the physical system plays nicely with one another. Then, within 2 minutes of seeing this bacula message Volume INCR-0003 previously written, moving to end of data, the system hangs. The above message is seen write after the script defined in the RunBeforeJob (for the physical system) directive is run (and completed successfully). It is a presumed 2 minutes because that is the time from the above message to the last message written to the /var/log/messages file. I can not find any other jobs running at that time then would be any different then the jobs running throughout the day. Anyone have any suggestions on things I could tune that would prevent the system from crashing? My bacula configurations are not all that complex or strange. Anyone else seen this type of behavior?

Anyone have any suggestions on things I could tune that would prevent the system from crashing? Is the USB disk for anything other than backups? If not, maybe the problem the problem is USB-related. Can you do a backup to a non-USB disk? Thanks for the feedback. I do not really have that available disk space for backups on a non-USB device (this environment is for home office). When I am only running 1-2 virtual machines everything works fine, or at least has run fine in the past. The same has been true this week. Now twice this week when 3 Virtual machines were running the system crashed nearly at the same time (right after the RunBefore script has been completed). As backups seem to work when when more memory is available (less VM's running) it does not appear to be a USB issue (at least the USB Drive). Possibly a conflict with the USB sharing between physical machine and virtual machine. Also, as the only time the system crashes is at the start of the backup process, I do not think hardware is failing. Maybe conflicting as stated above.

Re: [Bacula-users] problem with wx-console on windows
This is what you said Orallo Orallo Hi Bill, And thanks for your input, I appreciate your help. I dont think I am missing any steps, but here I will do a play by play of what I click/select/press etc. As I mentioned on my original post, I've been able to perform restores succesfully using the regular bconsole, but the GUI would be nice use. - I open wx-console, and it connects to my bacula director, and it lists the list of available commands. - Next I click on the restore tab. - Next I click on enter restore mode and the listboxes are enabled and populated. - Next I select one of the Job Names that are on the first listbox. RestoreITFD and automatically, the client (IT-FD) gets listed and selected, so does the fileset (IT-FD-SET) so does the pool (default) the storage (File) and the before (sets to the current time and date) then I click OK at the bottom of the screen and it switches to the a screen divided into two, the left side shows it-fd with a red X to the left, if I right click on it it the X turns to a green check mark, no matter what I do, the right side of the screen shows NOTHING at all, no file names, no drives, no directories, nothing I have not had much success using the wx-console to restore files back to windows servers. I perform the exact steps from bconsole and the restores work fine. I was having a different problems then what you have described. My restore would start but no files would restore. It was kind of strange because when I first tested the wx-console it did actually work. As wx-console was unreliable and I could still restore from bconsole it was not a show stopper. I thought I read the experiences from other users to see if it was a problem worth pursuing. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Bacula-users] Dealing with the past... lastlog (sparse files), x86_64, and Bacula
This is what you said Gregory Brauer Due to some poor foresight on the part of the implementers of the last utilities, the lastlog is stored as a sparse file where the specified size of the sparse file is based on the highest possible user on the system. On a 64-bit system, that means you get a file which is reported by ls and seen by Bacula as 1254130450140 bytes (1.14 TB) in size. What would be the best way of dealing with this issue? It looks like all users running Bacula on a 64-bit system will run into this problem soon. Thanks. Greg If you search the archives you would find a thread I started on this exact problem when I first started using Bacula. There was even a person who attempted to code a utility that would quickly (un)compress the sparse file. This way you could exclude the actual sparse file but backup the compressed file. The utility never worked for me. I never found a good solution to the problem. If I used the sparse option from bacula the data written was less but the actual time to perform backup was not reduced. As my system is not in a production environment, I have chosen to just skip the lastlog file until a real solution can be delveloped. Scott - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

I could be totally wrong. I am by no means an expert at this stuff. I
have been using bacula for less then a couple of months.
Here is my director file if interested. I could be totally wrong, but I
think it is close to what you are trying to accomplish. My FULL,
Incrermentals, Differentials, and Catalogs all go to different mount
points, have their own labels, and have their own storage definition.
This could be totally wrong, but that is what I am using.

Re: [Bacula-users] Retaining incremental with full backups
This is what you said Dan Trainor Dan Trainor wrote: Good morning - I've not yet started using Bacula, but I'm getting ready to. I'm very impressed with how it works, and the documentation is clear and concise - even without having used bacula yet, I'm very impressed. One thing that I did not see in the documentation was how I could retain a set of incremental backups, with a full backup. What I'd like to do is do one full backup nightly, and then incremental backups every four hours, until the next nightly backup. I'd like to retain these incremental backups for as long as I retain their corresponding full backup. I'd like to have at least ten days' worth of these sets. I did not see this type of setup in the documentation. If anyone would care to explain this to me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! -dant Seems like a reasonable request. Your Pool directives will need to be planned, but it seems like something bacula can do. Myslef and many others do weekly full backups and daily incrementals in between without problems. Increasing frequency should not be that big of deal, although I have not personally attempted it.

Re: [Bacula-users] File-based Storage and Pool Definitions
This is what you said Mark McCracken
Hi guys -
I'm new to bacula, but I've been reading the docs and trying different
things to accomplish my goal here, and I'm stumped. Maybe you can help
me.
I have 6 machines on my home network that I want to backup, all to a large
drive mounted at /mnt/lacie on my storage daemon. I want to have a
separate
subdirectory for each machine (/mnt/lacie/libby, /mnt/lacie/jazz, etc),
and
below that a separate subdirectory for each level (/mnt/lacie/libby/Full,
/mnt/lacie/libby/Incremental). I am doing Fulls and Incrementals only, no
Differentials. I do monthly full backups and weekly incremental backups,
and I want to keep about 2 months worth of stuff on there at all times (a
little slop one way or the other is fine).
In a perfect world, my directories would look something like this after
being completely filled by bacula over the course of 2-3 months:
/mnt/lacie/
libby/
Full/
Monthly0001
Monthly0002
Incremental/
Weekly0001
Weekly0002, 0003, etc up to 0008
jazz/
(just like libby's tree)
(other machines just like libby and jazz)
I am a novice bacula user, so beware --

[Bacula-users] Restores -- XP Client -- Bacula 1.38.8
I am having some problems with restores, or possible a mis-understanding of how restores work. I am running Bacula 1.38.8, both server (CentOS x86_64) and client. One of my clients is a Windows XP machine running the VSS enabled bacula client. Full backups run once weekly with incremental backups running the other days. All backups are done to disk storage device. When I tested restores orginally (only having on Full backup in the catalog), everything worked as expected. Now some time has passed and I have a catalog filled with several backups (full and incremental) for different clients. I tried using the wx-console app from the Windows XP machine to perform a restore. After selecting the tab for restores and going into restore mode, I entered all the information pertaining to the last full backup for this particular client including the FULL-pool and enterting a date one second after the Full backup in the Before: field. I marked several top-level sub-directories. Modified the job with the correct client, and kicked off the restore. Very few of the files actually restored. I tried this several times changing the directories, dates, Pools, etc., and I was never able to get all the files restored. I ran what I believe is the same restore from bconsole on the server and all files restored as expected. Is anyone else experiencing similar problems? If not, can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

Re: [Bacula-users] restore from windows
This is what you said Alexey Koptsevich Hello, We are evaluating Bacula as a replacement for our out-of-contract NetBackup installation at an academic site. Everything seems very attractive, except for one thing: as far as I understand from the documentation, there is no way for Windows users to restore their files with a GUI tool. So either admin should do restore for them, or they should be taught to log into the backup server and initiate restore from the command-line. I would appreciate if someone on this list could confirm that. Thanks, Alex There is a simple GUI client for Windows that will allow for the restoration of files. I personally have not had a whole lot of success from the Windows client, but that might just be my issue.

Re: [Bacula-users] Restore: Windows XP; Bacula Version: 1.38.8; ERROR
This is what you said Troy Daniels Scott, I noticed you stated you changed your bootstrap file after selecting the file to be restored. By any chance did you change it to the one created during the backup process? If so, as I understand it (And I could be wrong) you just told the system to restore all the files recorded in that file. The selection mode should build it's own bootstrap file, containing only the file you asked for. (You should see a message to this effect once you enter 'done' I believe). Try it without changing the bootstrap file and see if it makes a difference. Cheers, Troy Daniels Systems Administrator iTouch Australia PTY LTD We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it. -- Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Scott Ruckh wrote: This is what you said Scott Ruckh I am trying a restore for the very first time, so this may just be user error, but I got strange results when trying to restore a single file to a Windows XP client. I ran the WX-Console program from the target machine (Windows XP). I went into restore mode and I marked a single file for restore from the root of the C:\ drive. If I ran lsmark the correct file was returned. If I ran ls the directory was displayed and the single file was prefixed with an *. I ran the count command and the response was that 1 file is selected for restore. All of this looks correct to me so I issue the done command. The restore job needs to be modified so I change the Bootstrap file, the client name, Where = / (to put back the file where it came from) etc, until job parameters look correct. I then launch the job. The restore kicks off and the file I selected is restored with no problem. Seems good, right? Well here is the kicker: Unfortunately the restore continues going through the entire FileSet. I can not tell if the job is just reading files, or if it is actually restoring files. Whatever the case may be, I do not understand why this would happen. Once the single file was restored I would have thought the job would have completed sucessfully. I have yet to let the job run all the way through because it scares me that all the files keep scrolling on the console and the Storage Device is continuosly active. I am almost certain it was restoring the other files based on events that happened during the restore, though I do not have valid proof and I am too nervous to test. Is this normal? Is this user error? Is this a bug? Anyone know what is going on? I went ahead and tested because I thought the damage was already done. In fact I did the same restore from the director's console just to see if it made a difference. The results from the director's console were exactly the same as the target's console. Also, I proved other files are definitely getting restored even after only 1 file was marked for restoration. I am using disk as my storage device in case it makes a difference. I am almost certain I am using the correct settings for the restore job, so I have no idea what is going on. Anyone have any idea what is going on? There you have it!! Prime example of user error. I obviously did not understand the .bsr file. I will re-read the documentation in the restore section of the users manual because I do not remember the bsr's usage being discussed.

Backing up the sparse file (1.2TB in size (64K actual size)), with the
spase otion enabled for the file, still takes about 2.5 hours to backup.
Does this sound correct?

I could probably remove /wildir = /BACKUPS as /BACKUPS is its own
filesystem, but I included it for readability.
If this is still not the correct way to handle the sparse file, please let
me know.
Thanks.

[Bacula-users] Restore: Windows XP; Bacula Version: 1.38.8; ERROR
I am trying a restore for the very first time, so this may just be user error, but I got strange results when trying to restore a single file to a Windows XP client. I ran the WX-Console program from the target machine (Windows XP). I went into restore mode and I marked a single file for restore from the root of the C:\ drive. If I ran lsmark the correct file was returned. If I ran ls the directory was displayed and the single file was prefixed with an *. I ran the count command and the response was that 1 file is selected for restore. All of this looks correct to me so I issue the done command. The restore job needs to be modified so I change the Bootstrap file, the client name, Where = / (to put back the file where it came from) etc, until job parameters look correct. I then launch the job. The restore kicks off and the file I selected is restored with no problem. Seems good, right? Well here is the kicker: Unfortunately the restore continues going through the entire FileSet. I can not tell if the job is just reading files, or if it is actually restoring files. Whatever the case may be, I do not understand why this would happen. Once the single file was restored I would have thought the job would have completed sucessfully. I have yet to let the job run all the way through because it scares me that all the files keep scrolling on the console and the Storage Device is continuosly active. I am almost certain it was restoring the other files based on events that happened during the restore, though I do not have valid proof and I am too nervous to test. Is this normal? Is this user error? Is this a bug? Anyone know what is going on? Thanks. Scott --- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Re: [Bacula-users] Backups too big, and other questions
This is what you said Eric Warnke Unfortunately I have looked high and low, there is just no good way to read sparse files intelligently. Whoever though of providing the functionality without an API to step through the block mapping was a moron. It is truly a brain dead technology. At least there is a fcntl under Win32 to deal with it with some intelligence.

In the olden days, prior to the wide-spread use of 64 bit computers,
Unix user IDs were 32 bit integers, and the lastlog file had an entry
for each one. There were few enough that the bit of wasted space
didn't matter. At some point, Red Hat changed user IDs to 64 bit
integers on 64 bit platforms, and since the lastlog file still had an
entry for each one, there were now so many user IDs that the wasted
space does matter, bloating the lastlog file to 1.2TB as you've noted.
They've corrected this problem in recent releases of their
distribution.
$ uname -p
x86_64
$ ls -l /var/log/lastlog
-r 1 root root 11390920 Apr 25 07:49 /var/log/lastlog
I am not sure my FileSet is correct (see below), but it sort-of worked.
The backup still took 3 hours longer then if I completely excluded
/var/log/lastlog.
FileSet {
Name = Firewall Full
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
sparse = yes
compression = GZIP
}
File = /var/log/lastlog
}
Include {
Options {
compression = GZIP

signature = MD5
wildfile = /var/log/lastlog

Exclude {
File = /proc
File = /tmp
File = /sys
File = dev
File = /.journal
File = /.fsck
File = /mnt
File = /var/spool/squid
File = /BACKUPS
}
}
The good news is the backup only took about 13GB of space as opposed to
the 205GB of space it had gobbled up before I had to cancel the job. The
bad news is that this backup is 3 hours longer then running the backup and
just excluding /var/log/lastlog.
Does the above FileSet look correct for what I am trying to accomplish?
Thanks for the help.

Re: [Bacula-users] Backups too big, and other questions
This is what you said Pieter (NL)
I use following filesets. First exclude in options and after that include:
FileSet {
Name= bsdserver1 files
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
compression = GZIP
Exclude = yes
WildDir = /proc
WildDir = /dev
}
File = /etc
File = /usr/local/etc
File = /usr/image/part2/home
File = /usr/image/part2/profiles
File = /usr/image/part2/oldproj
File = /usr/image/part1/mysql.bak
}
}
Maybe for you something like this will work:
FileSet {
Name = Firewall Full
Include {
Options {
compression = GZIP
signature = MD5
exclude = yes
WildFile = /var/log/lastlog
WildDir = /proc
WildDir = /tmp
WildDir = /sys
WildDir = /dev
WildDir = /.journal
WildDir = /.fsck
WildDir = /mnt
WildDir = /var/spool/squid
WildDir = /BACKUPS
}
File = /
File = /boot
File = /home
File = /var
}

Thanks for the reply, but I believe you have excluded the /var/log/lastlog
file all together. This is not the desired result.

[Bacula-users] Incremental job changes to Full (Storage does not change)
-
Bacula release 1.38.8
-
I thought I would ask this question again as I think it got lost inanother
topic.
I have a schedule that looks like the following:
Schedule {
Name = WeeklyCycle
Run = Level=Full Storage=FSD_FULL FullPool=FULL-Pool 1st sun at 02:05
Run = Level=Differential Storage=FSD_DIFF
DifferentialPool=DIFF-Pool2nd-5th sun at 02:05
Run = Level=Incremental Storage=FSD_INCR
IncrementalPool=INCR-Poolmon-sat at 02:05
}
If the Incremental schedule is run, but then later changed to a FULL
backdue to not having a previous FULL, the job keeps the Pool as defined
by the job definition, but writes it to the Storage device defined in
theSchedule (in this case FSD_INCR).
The job, by default, is defined to use Pool, FULL-Pool, and storage,FSD_FULL.
How do I get a job that has been changed from incremental or
differentialto FULL to use the FULL storage device?
Thanks.

This is what you said Wolfgang Denk
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED] you
wrote:

Use the FullPool and DifferentialPool (and eventually
IncrementalPool) options, i. e. something like this:
Schedule {
Name = WeeklyCycleHydra
Run = FullFullPool = FULL 1st sun
at 00:10
Run = DifferentialFullPool = FULL DifferentialPool = DIFF 2nd-5th
sun at 00:10
Run = Incremental FullPool = FULL DifferentialPool = DIFF
IncrementalPool = INCR mon-sat at 00:10
}
I was already using those options in my schedule. It looks like you are
saying to add the other pool options for each RUN statement. I had not
tried this. Are you already using this, and is it working?
Thanks.

Re: [Bacula-users] Incremental job changes to Full (Storagedoesnot change)
This is what you said Wolfgang Denk In message [EMAIL PROTECTED] you wrote: I was already using those options in my schedule. It looks like you are saying to add the other pool options for each RUN statement. I had not tried this. Are you already using this, and is it working? Yes, I'm using this. It's working fine for automatically scheduled jobs. You still have to be careful if you - for example - manually start an incremental backup which gets propagated into a full one - then none of these configuration settings will be consulted, and you must take care to manually adjust pool, storage etc. Best regards, Wolfgang Denk Now that I think about it, the Pool is not my problem, but rather the storage. The FULL-Pool was chosen, but it wrote it to the INCREMENTAL Storage Device rather then then the FULL storage device. Am I getting confused? I do not believe your suggestions will resolve my issue. I am running a manual FULL right now to get a FULL backup before the Incremental schedule kicks off which I think will fix everything. It would be nice that this would work automatically when a new client is added and the first backup is run. If I am not correct in my thinking, let me know. Thanks.

[Bacula-users] Backups too big, and other questions
Output from df -h looks like the following:
df -h

/dev/sda6 129G 23G 100G 19% /
/dev/sda1 99M 27M 68M 29% /boot

/dev/sda2 97G 2.5G 89G 3% /var
/dev/sdb1 459G 131G 305G 31% /BACKUPS
FileSet looks like the following
# List of files to be backed up
FileSet {
Name = aname
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
}
File = /
File = /boot
File = /var
File = /home
}
Exclude {
File = /proc
File = /tmp
File = /sys
File = dev
File = /.journal
File = /.fsck
File = /mnt
File = /var/spool/squid
File = /BACKUPS
}
}
The backup is to disk for this single system and the backup is well over
143GB in space. The actual data being backed up is less then 30GB. Why
is this backup so big?
With Compression on this same backup (with locally attached storage) takes
up around 30GB of space and takes over 8 hours to backup. 8 hours is way
to long to back up 30GB of space.
Simlarly a 10GB NT client backing up to same storage and director with
compression enabled across the network takes about 48 minutes and takes up
way less space. What is going on?
Also, I have used the override Pool values in my schedule. If an
Incremental backup kicks off due to schedule, but is later changed to full
backup due to not having and existing Full backup, the backup job will
still use the Incremental Pool. If the job was changed to Full, why
wasn't the Pool changed to Full?
Thanks.

Also, are you spooling and including the spool directory in the backup? -Jason Martin You can see from my ealier post that my total used space (of the volumes listed in my file list) was about 25.3GB (per the output from df -h). My backup volume (to disk) was already 10 times the size of the total used disk space before I cancelled the job. I am excluding /BACKUPS in my file list so you can see I am not backing up my backups. Also, I am going straight to disk so I am not spooling first.

I am guessing I can exclude this file, but is there a more graceful way of handling this file. Now that I believe I have found the trouble maker I will go back through the bacula archives to see if there is a solution. If not, has anyone else had to deal with this file? Thanks fo your help.

Wow. I don't think that file is particularly important and it can probably be deleted. You might want to run a fsck on that filesystem to make sure all is well. What is the ls -l output on that file? I think I am going to try Dan's suggestion of setting the sparse file configuration parameter. /var/log/lastlog is the file that contains all the data from when you run the lastlog command (it displays the last time users logged into the system). I am running CentOS 4.3 which is a RHEL4 clone. I do not know if it is part of other distros. A du on the file shows that in reality it is only 64K. Anyway, thanks for everyone's help.
