Re: [Bacula-users] disk full, need to reset and upgrade
Hi Richard, I would make a move instead of a delete so I keep the data, and dump the mysql schema. To reset bacula, I just need to drop the database and recreate the schema ? (and change the data location to my NAS) Thanks for the advice, I'll try this this weekend... I've my file system filled up to 96% but still have 33GB left... ;) I'll even try to truly restore the backup, to test the restore ;) Regards, Thomas.

That's why I'd like to reset my bacula. That makes sense. I suggested that you might copy the backup data as an interim precaution to ensure that you were not without a backup of your data whilst making the changes. If you are comfortable just deleting the data (and removing it from the database too) then I will not argue against it. Also to re-work the exclude list I've setup and that doesn't work, I need to know what file was backup during the last job. How I do that ? I see that no-one has jumped in with ideas yet and I must claim the my bacula setup has been fairly static for a while (why break something that works!) but my suggestion would be to use bconsole to setup a restore job. Once in the restore job you can move around the directory tree and look at what is in there. You don't need to complete the restore operation but you can look around. If you have the jobId of the last backup handy (look in the email that bacula sends when a backup completes) the select option 3 (Enter list of comma separated JobIds to select) from the restore command and enter the jobId. One you have selected the job bacula will drop you into the file selection mode where you can use the cd command to move around and ls to list things. If you use the mark command to mark a specific directory then you can use the estimate command to show you the total data selected in that directory. If you unmark those file then you can estimate other directories. It can be slow going if you have lots of folders to look at but it does work. Others may have better suggestions. Below is an example from one of my incremental backups for a small host. Regards Richard *restore First you select one or more JobIds that contain files to be restored. You will be presented several methods of specifying the JobIds. Then you will be allowed to select which files from those JobIds are to be restored. To select the JobIds, you have the following choices: 1: List last 20 Jobs run 2: List Jobs where a given File is saved 3: Enter list of comma separated JobIds to select 4: Enter SQL list command 5: Select the most recent backup for a client 6: Select backup for a client before a specified time 7: Enter a list of files to restore 8: Enter a list of files to restore before a specified time 9: Find the JobIds of the most recent backup for a client 10: Find the JobIds for a backup for a client before a specified time 11: Enter a list of directories to restore for found JobIds 12: Cancel Select item: (1-12): 3 Enter JobId(s), comma separated, to restore: 3791 You have selected the following JobId: 3791 Building directory tree for JobId 3791 ... 1 Job, 17 files inserted into the tree. You are now entering file selection mode where you add (mark) and remove (unmark) files to be restored. No files are initially added, unless you used the all keyword on the command line. Enter done to leave this mode. cwd is: / $ ls var/ $ cd var cwd is: /var/ $ ls spool/ $ mark spool 17 files marked. $ estimate 17 total files; 17 marked to be restored; 185,790,882 bytes. $ unmark spool 17 files unmarked. $ estimate 17 total files; 0 marked to be restored; 0 bytes. $ I've tryed to browse the mysql database, but filename are in blob which is not handy for browesing.

Re: [Bacula-users] disk full, need to reset and upgrade
Hi Marc,
I've already tried something similar.
As the backup filesystem is remote (through ssh), before the execution of
the backup, I execute a remote script that list all directory to exclude,
then scp to the Director machine and do the job. (tech detail may be
inaccurate as it's off the top of my head)
but after a check it didn't work (all data were backup, excluded directory
too), and I didn't have time to work on it...
I'll try again tonight as it become urgent... ;o)
But I really need to reset bacula storage, set the save path to the NAS and
enable the recycling feature on the volume.
Thomas.

Hi Thomas,
there is an exclude feature in previous bacula versions as well. And
if you are talking about the new Exclude Dir Containing feature:
You can achieve the same behavior in 2.x versions of bacula with an
Exclude setting like this:
FileSet {
Name = MyFileSet
Include {
Options {
...
}
File = ...
}
Exclude {
File = \\|sh -c 'for D in / /var /home; do find $D -xdev -name
.BACULA_NO_BACKUP -type f -printf \%h\\n\; done | tee
/root/bacula_excluded_dirs.log'
}
}
You have to put the relevant filesystems into the list of the for-loop. In
this case all dirs containing a file .BACULA_NO_BACKUP within
the /, /var or /home filesystem will not be backed up. And you will find a
list of directories that have been excluded this way in
/root/bacula_excluded_dirs.log
I am using this mechanism since years and it works very well.

Re: [Bacula-users] Folder Exclusion... didn't work
I know that a feature is planned in the version3, but I need full backup now ;)
I would rather execute the command to generate the exclude list on the
client with the \| syntax. That at least ensures the list is always
up to date.
The exclude file is updated with some ssh command before the backup
starts so the file is up to date.
And like this i've a centralized view of the exclude file of each
machine on my bacula director server.
File = \\|bash -c \df -klF ufs | tail +2 | awk '{print \$6}'\
there's also this variant for a client execution :
File = \\ /path/to/fileList
Also, sorry for the response time, I've tryed to upgrade my PC from
kubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 and it fails... (seems that the raid1 setup has
been lost at boot time)

Not necessarily wrong, though I admit I don't use excludes very often :-)

up to date. From the manual:
If the vertical bar (|) in front of my_partitions is preceded by a
backslash as in \|, the program will be executed on the Client's
machine instead of on the Director's machine. Please note that if
the filename is given within quotes, you will need to use two
slashes. An example, provided by John Donagher, that backs up all
the local UFS partitions on a remote system is:
FileSet {
Name = All local partitions
Include {
Options { signature=SHA1; onefs=yes; }
File = \\|bash -c \df -klF ufs | tail +2 | awk '{print \$6}'\

Obviously, you'd exchange the df with your find | sed combination.

Yes, that's a start.
you need to exclude everything that doesn't match the regex and include
all of the directories above /home/user1/web.
Well, I've nothing to backup between / and /home/*/web
What's the point of using regexdir if I have to exclude everything else ?
That's just how it works. Bacula doesn't scan the whole world looking for
something that matches the regexdir.
Instead, it searches down the tree starting from the 'File =' lines looking
for files to back up. To prevent something from being backed up, you must
exclude it by using an Exclude section or by using options with 'exclude =
yes'. See the *.gz example here:
http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION00148
When you exclude a directory, it doesn't look any further. Therefore, to
back
up selected subdirectories of /home/*, you need to make Bacula select all
directories leading up to those you want to back up, without selecting any
of
ther contents. Something like this (not tested):
Include {
Options {
signature = SHA1
compression = GZIP
# include the dirs in /home
regexdir = ^/home/[^/]+$
# and include the web dirs of them
wilddir = /home/*/web
# and the public_html dirs within the web dirs
wilddir = /home/*/web/public_html
# and the contents of the public_html
wild = /home/*/web/public_html/*
}
Options {
# exclude everything else
Exclude = yes
wild = /home/*
}
File = /home
}
__Martin
For the fact that bacula FD stops with the regexp, I'll recheck, but I
don't
think their is something in the director's logs...

Bacula uses the File lines as the roots when it looks for files and
none
of
yours are going to find files in /home/user1 etc. Also, you can't do
what
you

Crashing is unexpected though. What does the Bacula log say? Can you

}
Yes, that's a start.
you need to exclude everything that doesn't match the regex and
include
all of the directories above /home/user1/web.
Well, I've nothing to backup between / and /home/*/web
What's the point of using regexdir if I have to exclude everything else
?
That's just how it works. Bacula doesn't scan the whole world looking for
something that matches the regexdir.
Instead, it searches down the tree starting from the 'File =' lines
looking
for files to back up. To prevent something from being backed up, you must
exclude it by using an Exclude section or by using options with 'exclude =
yes'. See the *.gz example here:
http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION00148
When you exclude a directory, it doesn't look any further. Therefore, to
back
up selected subdirectories of /home/*, you need to make Bacula select all
directories leading up to those you want to back up, without selecting any
of
ther contents. Something like this (not tested):
Include {
Options {
signature = SHA1
compression = GZIP
# include the dirs in /home
regexdir = ^/home/[^/]+$
# and include the web dirs of them
wilddir = /home/*/web
# and the public_html dirs within the web dirs
wilddir = /home/*/web/public_html
# and the contents of the public_html
wild = /home/*/web/public_html/*
}
Options {
# exclude everything else
Exclude = yes
wild = /home/*
}
File = /home
}

For the fact that bacula FD stops with the regexp, I'll recheck, but I
don't
think their is something in the director's logs...

Bacula uses the File lines as the roots when it looks for files and
none
of
yours are going to find files in /home/user1 etc. Also, you can't do
what
you
want directly with a single Options clause -- you need to exclude
everything
that doesn't match the regex and include all of the directories above
/home/user1/web.
Crashing is unexpected though. What does the Bacula log say? Can you
repeat
it on a local machine without the ssh tunnel?

Re: [Bacula-users] mark a directory to be excluded from backup
Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the tip,
even If I need to update the director conf file each time I add a website,
it's easy enough to be usable.
Thanks again,
Thomas.

Here we have a centralized configuration for what is to be backup,
while I think a distributed configuration would be more efficient and
easy to handle (Ok, not in every case, but in my case I don't get why
the director should know every thing about it's clients file system)
For example, if a directory would contain an empty file
.bacula_exclude_dir own by a specific user, the file daemon would not
backup this dir even if inside a directory mention with a File=
this can be easily done by something like:
find /home/thomas/test/ -name .exclude | sed 's/.exclude//'
/home/thomas/test/excludelist
and then specify
Exclude {
File = \\/home/thomas/test/excludelist
}
in the Fileset.
you can configure the includelist in the same way on the client.
Or a file like the robot.txt that one left for search engines so they
know what to index and what not.
If the filedaemon find a file like .bacula_directives, it would follow
that list of directives for all subdir of the current dir.
Or even a configuration file for the file daemon. It's easier to
modifiy (with scripts) a conf file on the client, that to automatically
update the director conf file from the client (quite impossible in fact).
Ok, it's a bit intrusive, but as far as I know bacula, if the only way
to exclude a directory is to write some complex config in
bacula-dir.conf, it's very cumbersome !
In my case, on the machine I add very often new websites, each one
with specific structure with some files to be backup some not.
this would lead to huge config file or huge amount of data backuped
for nothing...
What do you think about that?
Thomas.

Hi Martin,
So I should do this :

File = /etc
File = /home/special/master

File = /root
File = /backup/databases/lastbackup
*File = /home*

}
you need to exclude everything that doesn't match the regex and include
all of the directories above /home/user1/web.
Well, I've nothing to backup between / and /home/*/web

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula-fd starts and then crash (leaving an empty file in /var/lock/subsys/bacula-fd)
Hi John
This machine is backuped up by a SSH tunnul.
When Director backup this client, it creates a ssh tunnel, with the needed
port tunneling.
This configuration works on another machine prefectly.
See this howto : http://wiki.bacula.org/doku.php?id=sshtunnel
Just to give a try, I did set the public IP of the client, and it gives the
same results :
[r...@dell1 ~]# service bacula-fd start

[r...@dell1 ~]# service bacula-fd status

With 127.0.0.1 you will not be able to the fd. I mean this will only
work if this is also the machine with the director and SD.
That did not come out right. Use the external IP address network

I plan to use ssh tunnel to backup remote client (which are on other physical site with only ssh accissible) What IP should I then put for the director ? Thomas.

Thx Kevin, I'll look at your doc. THomas On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 22:23, Kevin Keane subscript...@kkeane.com wrote: Funny that you mention that.

Re: [Bacula-users] Setup advices for some heterogenous set of server
Hi Arno, Thanks for your answers, and sorry for the delay to answer back. To answer your questions : I've control (directly or indirectly) of the firewall, but I'd rather use a ssh tunnels. My homeServer has access to other servers with certificate authentication. I can set explicit rule to the firewall to allow acces to the needed port, but ssh is better on security concern. Btw, when compression is done ? by the client or by the storage? because, in this last case, ssh built in compression could be a nice help. Each blue 'backbone' on the schema represents a /24 network and all servers are in this subnet. All server has public IP address and an FQDN. Over the servers, the amount of data should not be that uge (only website, configuration script, no logfile or mail inbox). In case of machine crash, each machine setup is documented, so that to resume the service, I've to reinstall the system (less than an hour for the secondary DNS server) and restore data. Each machine have or will have a mirror server on another physical site. It's probably not the best solution, but given my mean, I can only afford that solution. I also wanted to set this kind of backup : 1 mounthly full backup of the file system. 1 daily incremental backup of the filesystem. 1 daily full backup of databases. because, in my case, the filesystem isn't modifyed heavily, most of the udpates are done in the databases. I think it's suitable for my specific case, but there are maybe some convients I didn't see About the setup itself : The more I read, the more I get confused... the doc is not easy to get a simple and working configuration. I've read more than 150 pages, and still have no concrete material to configure a simple setup... I'm quite found of learning by example, which you usually find for every software, but here... not that much indeed... the only tuto I've found : http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/bacula1.htm doesn't explain really much things. What I'd like, is to 1/ enable a working backup on the homeServer (director hosting) test it, play with it with some simple test case like : make a backup of a directory, delete (or move outside the dir) one file in the directory, restore the file. make a backup of a directory modify a file make a incremental backup modify the same file make a incremental backup modify the same file walk though the different 'version' of this file. It would be nice, if bacula team could setup a vmware using a linux distro like ubuntu with several test case pre-setup to speed up the learning curve. 2/ Once I've setup the backup for the server, add a remote client (through ssh) (and next add all others) I find it better to have on directory per client (can't explain why, but sounds safer), I've read the basic volume managment chapter which tell I should add a device per client with a Type per Device so that everything isn't mixed up. Well I'll explore this later.. I'll try now to get something working on the homeServer itself. tomorrow, I'll probably setup a ubuntu on vmware to practice some test case and may publish it on my blog (well the size of the vmware could be an issue ;o) Thomas.

I've attached a simple diagram that represent the network as it will soon be. (DNS Server 1 and WebServer 2 are not yet setup). On each server of the left side, the host provider gives 160GB of disk on FTP. The Home Server is the server that will run the Backup Director. Over internet, servers can communicate via SSH. Additionnal port can be opened, but I'd rather not. You can tunnel any connection where you can specify the host and port to use through ssh. In Bacula, you could set up the tunnels using a run before job script. A regular VPN might be easier to maintain, though harder to set up. HomeServer and Office Server has an 1MByte/s download and 100KByte/s upload capabilities. That's a bit limited for backup purposes of large data sets. Other Servers have more the 50MByte/s upload capabilities For WebServer1 3, and Office Server, I've no other solution that get backup to HomeServer. For other servers, I've the 160GB disks available, but I'm not sure of their reliabality (Probably not raid 1 or 5 device, who can access). Any thought, advice? Well, it's quite important to know where you want your backups to end up. Assuming you want them all consolidated on the HomeServer, you'd need some VPN/ssh tunnels to all the servers you want to back up. Once those exist, it's a rather standard situation to set up Bacula accordingly. If you need to keep backup data on te different sites because of the traffic limitations
