Re: [Bacula-users] Client / laptop backups

As far as I can see, this will need to either be client-initiated, client saying I'm alive! or something, or having a polling process running to check if the client's online for a given period of time. Is something like this possible or in the works, or is Bacula intended only for server backups? The simplest way to handle this that I've found is to set up space for the laptops to rsync to, and the run bacula's scheduled backups against that (as a bonus, you then also have an immediately-readable copy of the laptop's files if you need to suddenly recover some accidentally-deleted file without needing to initiate a bacula restore). We've got laptop users here that we CAN'T seem to run full bacula backups on because they never stay plugged in long enough to finish, so rsync is the only way we can get full backups.

[Bacula-users] Bacula slow transfer / Compression latency / feature request
On 05/30/2011 02:11 PM, reiserfs wrote: Hello, im new with Bacula scene, i have used the HP Dataprotector with a HP Library fiber channel backup. With the Dataprotector i got 1gbps interfaces and switch and all jobs get done very fast, with transfer like 50-80MB/s. Now im using Bacula with a DELL TL2000 iSCSI, and with my first experience i got only 6MB/s transfer with 1gbps interfaces and switch. So what im missing Used to tes: Bacula Director runing on Slackware64 13.1 Bacula Cliente Windows 2003 Server Turning on software gzip compression on the client is definitely a major performance killer, unfortunately, so that would be my first guess as well. This looks like a good place to mention some testing I've done. I've been doing some testing lately due to also being somewhat aggravated as the apparently slow transfer rates I get during Bacula backups, but it's starting to look like it's not really Bacula's fault most of the time. Most of the time, it looks like the problem is just how fast the client can read files off of the disk and send them. The network (at least on Gb) is not usually the problem, nor even database activity on the director (attribute spooling will help if you DO have any problems with that). Encryption and gzip compression by the client introduce major latency that unavoidably slows down the transfer, and this isn't specifically a bacula client issue. Other things I have seen that cause major slowdowns are antivirus software on Windows (particularly on-access scanning) and active use of the computer while the backup is running. Regarding compression, specifically, though - testing on my laptop here, I tested just reading files from /usr and /home with tar, piping them through pv to get the transfer rate (and then dumping them directly to /dev/null). I repeated the tests then with some different compression schemes inserted. for example: tar -cf - /usr | pv -b -r -a /dev/null (No Compression) tar -cf - /usr | gzip -c | pv -b -r -a /dev/null (GZIP) tar -cf - /usr | gzip -1 -c | pv -b -r -a /dev/null (GZIP1) tar -cf - /usr/ | lzop -c | pv -b -r -a /dev/null (LZO) (and repeated for /home) Here are my results: /usr No Compression: 5.58GB total data, Avg 13.1MB/s (436s to finish) GZIP: 2.11GB Total data, Avg 2.97MB/s (727s to finish) GZIP1: 2.36GB Total data, Avg 4.13MB/s (585s to finish) LZO: 2.82GB Total Data, Avg 6.48MB/s (445s to finish) /home (includes a lot of e.g. media files that are not very compressible) No Compression: 91.56GB Total Data, 34.5MB/s Avg,, (~2700s to finish) GZIP: 77.1GB Total Data, 9.78MB/s Avg, (8072s to finish) GZIP1: 77.6GB Total Data, 11.7MB/s Avg, (~6790s to finish) LZO: 80.6GB Total Data, 28.3MB/s Avg, (~2900s to finish) So, yes, if you have gzip compression turned on, you'll almost certainly see a huge increase in speed if you turn it off (I believe most tape drives can or will do compression in hardware, so you don't need to pre-compress at the client). If you are backing up to disk as I am (or for some reason aren't doing hardware compression on the tape drive), you can also get a small speed increase by dropping the gzip compression down to the minimum (Compress=GZIP1 in the FileSet), which seem to compress almost as well overall but induces less latency. FEATURE REQUEST: However, assuming my tests so far are representative, it looks like LZO compression can get backup jobs transferred in almost the same amount of time as no compression at all, while still substantially reducing the amount of data transferred and stored (not as much as GZIP does, but still a noteworthy amount). Is it possible we could get a Compress=LZOP capability added to bacula-fd? tl;dr: Turn off compression until and unless an LZO compression option is implemented, unless you are desperate for space on your backup media, in which case you'll just have to cope with the slow backups. -- Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.

In my experience, slow performance like this (i.e. 5MB/s on at least
100Mb ethernet) usually turns out to be the client's fault. Compression
seems to be a very common culprit. Try switching compression off
completely and see how much of a difference that makes. The latency
introduced by waiting for compression - even pretty fast compression -
seems to substantially choke throughput down.
If bacula ends up with additional compression type options in addition
to gzip at some point, this might help (LZO compression doesn't compress
as well as gzip, but seems to have a lot less overhead, for example),
but in the meantime if you're not backing up over a very slow link OR
you are not desperate for space on your backup media, you are better off
without the compression.
The other thing (that I'm guessing doesn't apply here) is on Windows
systems and some Macs that run antivirus software that does on-access
scanning. I've seen that bog down backups as well.

Ideally the best option could be compression on the storage director (it has more powerful hardware than this client) but I think that bacula currently doesn't support this feature. You could do that with filesystem compression. There are a few options for that. Although I admit none of them are in the mainline kernel. John Well, depending on what you consider mainline. I'm currently experimenting with btrfs with filesystem compression. As of 2.6.38, this is available as both gzip/zlib and LZO.

It seems to work so far, but I've only been using it for a week or so and haven't had a chance to do any extensive checks. The one problem I see with filesystem-supplied compression is that trying not to run out of disk space for backup volumes becomes more difficult, since it's hard to predict exactly how much real space the compressed data will take up (whereas is bacula is doing the compression, you can just define e.g. 8 20GB volumes and stick them on a 160GB drive). This may or may not turn out to be a 'real' problem.

To follow up, I think I WILL try out BTRFS with compression (with client-side compression switched off) for some experimental backups and see how it does. Due to the way our backup system is set up (continuously growing, with volumes stored on external drives supplied by the offices who want to be on the backup system), the speed that the backups can be done is becoming an issue, but we don't have enough space to shut off compression and still have backups go back far enough. I have been (bravely|foolhardily) using BTRFS as my primary filesystem on my netbook, and on several other of my personal drives with no problems so far, and I'm confident it's at least stable enough to do serious experimentation with.

Well, that's what I mean, though - the terminology in the bacula-fd.conf file is Maximum Concurrent Jobs, so I hadn't expected to be denied non-job-running connections. And do I have any recourse [...] By the sound of it, you're pretty much between a rock and a hard place there. If the Director can't connect to send a cancel, then you really have no mechanism for killing just one of the running jobs I did try ssh'ing into the client, updating bacula-fd.conf to increase the Maximum Concurrent Jobs, and then sending SIGHUP to bacula-fd in hopes of getting it to accept more connections, but it looks like the only option I've got is to kill the jobs by brute force (killing bacula-fd or bacula-dir) and try again tomorrow... -- Nokia and ATT present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
[Bacula-users] Minimum version of GCC needed to compile Bacula (5.0.3)?
I'm not finding it in the documentation so far... I'm attempting to build a storage daemon on a Western Digital MyBook World Edition(tm) NAS, using the most recent gcc available from ipkg, which unfortunately is all the way back to 3.4.6. I'm getting some errors as it tries to compile the bacula libraries, which I assume is why subsequent building of file and storage daemons fails. Is 3.4.6 just too old, am I just doing something wrong, or is this some kind of bug?
