[Bacula-users] Strange behavior with dynamic labeling

2009-03-13 Thread Wolf
Greetings,

I've noticed an odd behavior in bacula and I am not sure if it is a
documented bug or not.

I have my label format, in my pool definitions, set as Label Format =
Full-${JobName} so that each backup that runs gets a unique name such as
Full-superdb.2009-03-11_15.46.47.03.

What I am noticing is that if I have a client configured in bacula but the
director cannot contact a remote client the stuck label is used on the
next job that runs. For example I have a client in the director that is
named ldh0500.p1. When we did some IP changes the director was unable to
connect the ldh0500.p1 to run it's scheduled backup. When the next job ran,
for client wdh0500.p1, the volume generated was tagged as
Full-ldh0500.p1.2009-03-09_23.05.00.57. This went on for a few nights before
we were able to correct it and get jobs running and labeling properly again.
We noticed it again when a new client was added to the director but not
properly setup on the remote. Again, when bacula was unable to reach this
new client the next job that ran was labeled with the missed clients job
name.

So, it this a know bug or have I missed something in the configuration
(besides the human error of adding clients in the director before the remote
is setup).

[Bacula-users] storage directories based on job names

2009-02-27 Thread Wolf
Going to try this again, since I didn't realized I wasn't sending in plain
text beforemy apologies.

I have bacula configured to use an attached storage array mounted as
/bk_vol_1. I've ran some tests and I have bacula dynamically naming the
volumes based on the full, unique, job names using the internal bacula
variables, ${JobName} in this case. 

The question I have is can I make the storage director create a new
directory for each job name using the same method? 

Example of current file location would be: 
/bk_vol_1/Inc-ldh0500.p1.2009-02-26_10.07.42.03 

Example of the file location I would like to have: 
/bk_vol_1/ldh0500.p1/Inc-ldh0500.p1.2009-02-26_10.07.42.03

We're trying to make syncing the data to a remote site more manageable and
efficient.

Thanks,
-Adam

 How about a different storage resource for each Job then you can put
 the storage where ever you want.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't that require making job specific
Storage, in bacula-dir.conf, and Device, in bacula-sd.conf, entries?

Hello Martin,

 Is bcopy broken?

 Yes, it looks like bcopy creates broken file volumes :-(

 However, it does read the input volume, so it is a useful test for their
 correctness.

We still need something to copy volumes around (from tape to file, from
file to tape, without touching the catalog ...)

 Does bls give the same short block error when reading the DVD-RAM volume?

Yes.

 Does restore work for the jobs on DVD-RAM volume Archive-0001?

This is what I got trying to do a restore from Archive-0001: (Newlines
inserted)

14-Nov 16:42 hq-sd JobId 31: Error: block.c:1091 Volume data error at

14-Nov 16:47 hq-sd JobId 31: Forward spacing Volume Archive-0002 to

Archive-0001 was created by bacula-sd 2.2.5 by doing a backup job in
bconsole writing a file volume to a mounted DVD-RAM with ufs
filesystem. Maybe the out of storage detection is not good for this
combination. I would expect bacula to detect that it didn't write the
whole block and repeat the block at the beginning of the next volume,
but why does the restore go on on file 0 block 199 of the next
volume?

As I proposed to do some archiving here, I don't have the data backup'ed
up to those Archive-000? any more in some other storage. How can I
detect which files have been damaged?

I suppose that most of the backup is useful, as the restore goes on ...

Yours sincerely,

In testing is bacula 2.2.0, so for a production system you should
compile bacula 2.2.6 yourself and use something like GNU stow

 The error means that the block length recorded in the block's header is 
 longer
 than the data read from the device.

 I would expect that to be impossible unless the volume is corrupted.  Did you
 get any syslog messages?  Is the error repeatable with the same numbers in 
 the
 message?  Which version of Bacula wrote the volume?

 Version: 2.2.5 all on linux.
 No syslog message on Read. 
 I looked through my syslog in the time the volume was written and
 nothing.

Hi,

Arno Lehmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 Why it purge the file catalog record of the first job? I want to use

Not the backup is purged, but the job records in the database.

 There is a work around, which might help you or might not: Use the job 
 cloning approach to run a job a second time, going to different media.

 This has the disadvantage that it doubles load on the client and the 
 network, though.

Why not using bscan in an Run After Job to read in the file volumes
again, after a migration job?

 The error means that the block length recorded in the block's header is longer
 than the data read from the device.

 I would expect that to be impossible unless the volume is corrupted.  Did you
 get any syslog messages?  Is the error repeatable with the same numbers in the

Version: 2.2.5 all on linux.
No syslog message on Read. 
I looked through my syslog in the time the volume was written and
nothing.

[Bacula-users] tapealert command gives exit code 1

2007-11-07 Thread Eric Böse-Wolf
Today I switched from using an autochanger to using a single drive and
updated the alert command to sh -c tapeinfo -f /dev/sg1 | grep
'TapeAlert' and now bacula complains about a bad alert command, as it
exits with exit code 1.

Reading the man page of grep I noticed that it exits with exit code 1 if
it does not find the pattern searched for, so I should have had the same
error message with my autochanger, shouldn't I?

What's going on? Didn't bacula call the alert command with my
autochanger? If it did and grep exited with code 0 it should have found
the pattern and bacula should have noticed my about this, shouldn't it?

What do you think? Is it a good idea to write a shell script which
exits with error code 0 if grep exits with either 0 or 1 and
with code 1 if grep exits with code 2 (the actual code for an error
in grep)?

Yours sincerely,

Eric Böse-Wolf

PS.: Thank you Kern for writing Bacula. Besides being useful it is also
a great toy ;-)

 I'd start with trying the actual tapealert command you run from Bacula 
 executed from the shell. Run that as the user bacula-sd is run under.

 There might be permission problems, for example, which don't get 
 reported through the pipe.

According to the man page of grep, it is normal that it exits with code
one if it doesn't find the pattern searched for. 

My bacula-sd runs as root, which might not be a good idea but it rules
out the permission problem :)

Re: [Bacula-users] tapealert command gives exit code 1

2007-11-07 Thread Eric Böse-Wolf
Hello Arno,

 There will be some reason why your tapealert command output isn't 
 matched by grep. You'll ony see what happens behind the scenes if you 
 try the tapealert command Bacula runs and look at the output, not 
 piped through grep.

This is a misunderstanding or maybe I didn't tell you. I did what
you suggested. Here it is without tape in drive:

Product Type: Tape Drive
Vendor ID: 'SEAGATE '
Product ID: 'DATDAT72-052'
Revision: 'A060'
Attached Changer: No
SerialNumber:  # you don't need to know this.
MinBlock:1
MaxBlock:16777215
SCSI ID: 0
SCSI LUN: 0
Ready: no

Here it is with tape in drive:

Vendor ID: 'SEAGATE '
Product ID: 'DATDAT72-052'
Revision: 'A060'
Attached Changer: No
SerialNumber: 
SCSI ID: 0
SCSI LUN: 0
Ready: yes
BufferedMode: yes
Medium Type: 0x35
Density Code: 0x47
BlockSize: 0
DataCompEnabled: no
DataCompCapable: yes
DataDeCompEnabled: yes
CompType: 0x20
DeCompType: 0x20
BOP: yes
Block Position: 0

So no 'TapeAlert' line present at the moment, but the drive is capable
of TapeAlert, as I read TapeAlert: -stuff- need cleaning -stuff- a few
days ago.

So it is possible to have no 'TapeAlert' in tapeinfo output. I was just 
wondering that nobody else had similar problems.

To solve this I wrote a script that executes the command, gives
the desired output and exits with 0 if grep exits with 0 or 1 and
it exits with 1 if grep exits with 2.

Actually my Subject line is not precise.

Your sincerely,

Eric

[Bacula-users] Encryption and compression

2007-10-30 Thread Eric Böse-Wolf
I did a few test and maybe someone is interested in the results.

I did a backup of the linux kernel documentation, quite a lot of
text (du -sh . gives 22M in the directory), under different
conditions, each of those backups I wrote to a new file volume and
here are the sizes of the file volumes:

Keylength   Compression(GZIP)  Resulting Mediasize (Bytes)
noneno 17299177
noneyes 6638157
1024no 18840845
2048no 19751779
4096no 21519151
1024yes 8179802
2048yes 9091106
4096yes10858478

If you compress and you have a damaged tape, you will lose more date as
if you did not use compression, but for encryption the tape is wothless
with only a single failure to, so I think if you use encryption you can
also use compression, if you have the CPU power for it. (The time a
backup needed increased significantly with the keylength, but I did not
measure exact times here.)

Yours sincerely,

Eric Böse-Wolf

[Bacula-users] Encryption and hardware compression

2007-10-26 Thread Eric Böse-Wolf
Hello Bacula Users,

I want to do encrypted backups and asked myself wether it 
makes sense to turn off the hardware compression of the 
tape drive. 

AFAIK does encryption do some kind of compression (the entropy
of the messages is significantly reduced) and so an additional
hardware compression could make things worse. 

Is my reasoning ok?

A second thing, if I turn on data encryption and TLS, will the
data on the wire be twice encrypted?

Yours sincerely,

Eric

It's a time ago, that I used Ubuntu, but it is similar to Debian, which
I'm using now, and on Debian you need to install libqwt5-qt4-dev package
to have the header files.

On debian there had been another problem with the linker as there is
a qwt-qt4 library but no qwt, a symlink from /usr/lib/libqwt.so to
/usr/lib/libqwt-qt4.so fixed that.

Bat is cool. It's not essential but it makes - e.g. - the selection of

Re: [Bacula-users] Fileset compression + Migration

Hello Arvid,

Arvid Rune Rånes [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 Is it possible to turn software compression on/off other
 places than inside the fileset definition and override it (in job
 def. or storage def.)?

I think you should not use software compression from inside bacula in
this scenario. Try to get some transparent filesystem compression on the
lv/partition where your backups file volumes are. That has two 
advantages:

1. You don't need to bother about compression in bacula.
2. If you migrate a job from file to tape it won't be twice compressed.
   (If you backup to file, the backup get's compressed, if you migrate, 
   the contents of the file volume will be written on the tape but on a 
   per job basis and not on a per file basis, but the compression is on 
   a per file basis so I can't imagine, that the backups get
   decompressed for migration and zooom you have twice compressed data,
   which is most of the time bad.)

As I'm not an expert on bacula, take a grain of salt.

Your sincerely,

Eric

To my experience volumes on a file storage will never be deleted by

Recycle = yes, then it should be reused next time bacula needs a volume

[Bacula-users] Understanding media-type

2007-10-08 Thread Eric Böse-Wolf
Hello Everyone!

As I understand the manual each job is tied to a specific device
in the storage daemon, either by the pool ressource or by the storage
resource in the job resource.

But the manual also tells about bacula selecting the first device, that
can handle the media-type mentioned in the catalog for a job, to do a
restore, but the restore job is also tied to a specific device, isn't
it?

Please explain.

John Drescher [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 Media types are arbitrary. Two devices with the same media type, it is
 assumed, can share volumes. If they can't, the media type needs to be
 different. If not, they can be the same.

 Exactly. I have two DLT drives on different bacula-sds on different
 servers and they share the DLT-IV media type while my LTO2
 autochanger has the LTO-2 media type. This way I can backup my DLT
 tapes on one server/sd and restore it on the other server/sd and also
 bacula will not try to share volumes from my LTO2 drives to my DLT
 since they are different...

So it's actually not bacula choosing one of the sd's (because the
restore job is tied to storage, which is tied to a device) but it's me
writing a new restore job or doing a mod?

So what is media type good for? Nobody would try to get a DDS-4 tape
into a LTO2 slot?

 You specify the old client when you start the restore command from
 bconsole. This will then have you mark the files you want to restore.
 After this you issue the mod command and then change the client to the
 new client.

 John

In src/dird/ua_restore.c you can read, that there are 
a client and a restoreclient commandline option. I don't know, but I
think it the restoreclient option is set, then the job to be selected
has to match against the client option and is restored to the
restoreclient option. If only client is given, then it will do both, the
job has to match against it and it will be restored to that client.

Maybe someone with more knowledge coulde enlighten us?

 I changed the stuff on bacula_manula in dokuwiki syntax and 
 linked Command Line Arguments (for restore command) to 
 restore_command_command_line_arguments and supplied a little bit

I would suggest to change the structure from an unordered list

Re: [Bacula-users] Debian

Tom Allison [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 I thought I caught a thread on this mailing list about Debian.

 I have a box with postgresql 8.2 installed on it and is well suited  
 for putting bacula on it.
 But when I tried to install the debian packages I got hung up on the  
 packages trying to install postgresql 8.1 (or at least some part of  
 it - client).

 Any suggestions on how to get around this so I can install bacula  
 with postgresql 8.2 and avoid installing another database on the same  
 machine?

Ask that to some debian mailing list or newsgroup. Actually the
maintainer of the debian package has set a dependency to postgresql 8.1,
normally he would have done so to postgresql = 8.1, maybe there is a 
reason to this.

Additionally in lenny and etch there still is bacula = 2.2.0, so it is
no good running the native debian packages, get the source and compile
yourself, until the 2.2.4 packages from sid make it to lenny, than wait 
for a backport to etch.

Using bacula on a sid system is a bad idea, as it is always a bad idea
to run a sid system in a production environment.

You could recycle your volume files, set all retention (volume, job,
files) periods less than a month, set AutoPrune = Yes, Recycle = Yes and
set a limit to the pool Maximum Volume Bytes = xxx and Maximum Volumes =
y such that xxx times y matches the size you want to invest in your

Where to place all those directives? I don't know out of my mind, read

 Would be nice to have the files on disk for some period to get a file

You could backup to disk and migrate the files, when you

Tom Allison [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 Unless you have a carousel, does anyone really use tapes anymore?
 I'm speaking of small networks, but it seems to me that hard drives
 are much cheaper than tapes for the $$/GB ratio.

That's really a good question. Yes hard drives have a better money/GB
ratio, but cheap hard drive keep your data safe only for 3 - 4 years for
sure (maybe longer) and some tapes (DLT, LTO) are specified to hold your
data for 15 - 30 Years (if the tape is not constantly in use, so for
archiving purposes).

So if you have to do a revision proof backup according to the laws of
some nations, you need to use something, that holds your data long and
here tape comes in I think.

Also tapes are safe to problems in electric circuits or electric supply,
viruses, trojans and hacker attacks. You can take them offsite easily.

I think it depends on the problem you want to solve.

Disk backups for data that need only be kept a few weeks and easily
accessable or home office backups, tape for revision proof long term
archiving.

[Bacula-users] Backup to removable media

2007-09-24 Thread Eric Böse-Wolf
Just for testing I tried to backup to floppy (in preparation
for DVD-RAM) I had the configuration at the end of the Mail.
Undefined ressources occur, as I didn't copied and pasted
everything.

I run the testjob manually from console, I expected it to do
the following:

Asking the operator for mounting a media

label it automatic

begin job

What it did: It just started to write the backupvolumes 
happily in the directory, where the floppy should be mounted
to.

I could disable automatic labeling, so I have the change of
changing the media before it writes, but how can I avoid such
a workaround?

 Martin,

 Thank you for checking my logic. I wonder if it would be worthwhile to the

 such a diagram that shows a timeline and how Bacula Jobs operate along such a
 timeline? I'd be pleased contribute some graphics to the documentation if
 that's something other people would also be interested in.

I would really appreciated it.

I noticed: If I have two Jobs, both on the same Client with the same
FileSet but with different schedules, Bacula will make two Full Backups
as the individual job has never had a Full Backup before, even if the
other job did a Full backup a few days ago. Maybe thats something, that
could be mentioned, too.

Excuse me, I did send this mail to Tom directly, but as everybody should
be able to read it, I do post it to bacula-users again.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Eric Böse-Wolf) writes:

 Tom Meiner [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 Hi!

 I have set up a bacula 2.0.3 server with an autochanger and several
 clients. My default pool directs to the tape. So my backup lasts a long
 time because all clients have to wait while one client does his backup.
 To speed up the backup I consider to create an additional disk pool as
 the default pool to get more then one client backed up simultaneous and
 than migrate the files to the next tape which lays on the tapes.

 Although I heave read http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Migration.html
 and all the referenced parts of the manual I haven't found an answer to
 one of this questions.


 1. Is bacula aware to update the bootstrap files
(/var/spool/bacula/client.bsr) after migrating the files from disk
pool to tape pool?

 The manual says write bootstrap is only for backup jobs, but I would
 test if it doesn't work in a migration job too.

 2. Is it possible to begin to migrate the files automatically from disk
pool to tape if the disk pool grows up to i.e. 60%?

 Migration High Bytes and a migration job with PoolOccupancy selection
 type, which runs each hour or every ten minutes as you like.

 3. What is the best way to create this disk pool (2 files sized 1 GB
each?)?

 Pool {
   Name = your pool name here
   Pool Type = Backup
   Recycle = yes  
   AutoPrune = yes
   Volume Retention = 100 days
   Label Format = Volume-
   Maximum Volume Bytes = 1073741824 #1Gb per Volume
   Maximum Volumes = 2   #Max 2 Volumes 
   Storage = your storage resource here
   Next Pool = your tape pool here
   Migration High Bytes = 1288490188 #60% of 2GB
 }

 As I'm new to bacula, too, I would take that with a grain of salt :-)
 Maybe you wait until some grown up confirms of neglects this.

 4. How big has this disk pool to be? What happens with the backup job if
the disk pool becomes full. Does is automatically start the migration
and after that continues backing up that client?

 I don't know, but for the questions you asked, I would imagine that you
 don't need migration but data spooling. With data spooling the
 configuration is much easier, it happens automagically and if the spool
 device is full it automagically begins to despool data. Hmm, spooling is
 done on a per job basis, so may it's not what you want, as each client
 has again to wait until the previous job despooled. Again: I'm new to
 bacula too and this information may be inaccurate.

So, now I formatted the hard disk of a windows client, to look
if the restore procedure works well and hey it works, but all
the umlauts in the filenames have not been restored correctly,
I think the bacula-fd.exe in the windows installation missed it
to convert from utf8 to cp12xx, because there an umlaut should
be are now two special charakters.

The configuration was :

bacula-sd, bacula-dir 2.2.4 on a linux machine, and
bacula-fd 1.36 from the available BartPE Plugin. (An 
more actual plugin I could not find.)

What do I have to do to restore files with umlauts in the
filename correctly?

Hello,

I want to backup to DVD-RAM and I want to schedule backups at night, but
as the space on a single DVD-RAM is limited and I don't want to change
DVD-RAMs at night, I asked myself: What to do?

I read about data spooling and have enought space to spool my nightly
jobs as whole. Is this a bad idea? Should I better backup to file first
and then migrate?

(DVD-RAM is used like a (small) external harddisk, just plug a DVD-RAM
in your drive, format it, mount it and you can use it like any other
hard disk. No need for a special burning command or so.)

 Yes, the output of estimate shows the created timestamp (that may be a bug).
 However, incremental/differential backups are triggered by either the

First of all: Thanks for your answer. I nearly thought I get ignored on

Maybe it's a bad idea, I can't decide this, but couldn't bacula compare
_filesizes_ also to decide, wether a file has changed? This could be

It could be also done on a per FileSet basis.

[Bacula-users] winbacula-2.2.3.exe with static compiled executables?

2007-09-11 Thread Eric Böse-Wolf
Are the executables in winbacula-2.2.3.exe compiled static, so one
could use them to create an uptodate BartPE Plugin?

[Bacula-users] Bart PE Plugin

2007-09-11 Thread Eric Böse-Wolf
I tried today to crosscompile bacula on my linux machine to get an up to
date Bart PE Plugin, but after stumpling from error to error in make in
top-dir/bacula/src/win32 (top-dir/bacula/src/build-depkgs-mingw32 forget
to copy the postgresql files to locations so they are found by compiler
and linker) to notice the the pebuilder directory was empty after a
complete successful run.

What can I do to get a up to date pebuilder plugin?

[Bacula-users] Times in Windows

2007-09-11 Thread Eric Böse-Wolf
Hello Everybody,

I read somewhere in this list, that there had been flaws in the
detection if files have changed on windows clients. If you move a whole
folder windows will not set the timestamps correctly.

I noticed the following: I did a fullbackup on a laptop, the day after
I used the laptop normally especially sending and getting mail. On the
next day I did an incremental backup, but Inbox.msf (Mozilla
Thunderbird) had not been backup'd this time, so I took a closer look at
the file. Windows gave me three timestamps created, changed, last accessed
and changed was closely too created -- ok, blame windows or mozilla or
whoever, but not bacula. (Last accessed had been right.)

But now I deleted all my backups, and tried the estimate command in the
console, to see what would be backup'd this time. And the timestamps bacula
listed together with Inbox.msf was the timestamp windows gave me as created
timestamp. Had this been due to it was the first (database reinstalled)
backup?

I checked another file, which was reported by windows with correct
changed timestamp, but in the bacula console listing of estimate,
there was again the timestamp listed which corresponds to the window
created timestamp and not the changed.

Please, I'm not a programmer, so don't throw peaky details at me, but
what is an incremental backup worth, if files get backup'd up according
to their created timestamp?

So maybe it's better not to rely on backups of windows clients with
bacula?

mfg

Eric

PS.: I don't want to be a spoilsport, but saving users mail in a backup
is a serious thing. :(

[Bacula-users] Can Bacule use DVD-RAM?

2007-09-07 Thread Eric Böse-Wolf
Hello everybody,

as DVD-Ram Media is the most reliable optical media in the DVD area,
I would like to use it. I aked myself can Bacula use DVD-RAM? I read
parts of the manual and found only things regarding DVD+-R(W), which
need a special treatment due to mounting, burning and so on 

But DVD-RAM could be used like a harddrive, just put in the DVD-RAM
and use e.g. /dev/hda as device, but then Bacula have to check if the
media is full. Otherwise you could create udf 2.01 on the DVD and mount
it, but then you don't need a special writing tool like dvd-handler
From Bacula. 

Another Problem could be that kernels lower (strictly) 2.6.22 cannot
create files larger than 1 GB on an DVD-RAM with udf, so back to direct
writing on the DVD-RAM without filesystem  ? 

I don't know if one could just use the tapedrive drivers for dvd-ram, as
I don't know if the ioctl's are the same or so.

As I don't have a clue about all of this, this might sound all stupid, 
but please enlighten me :-)

mfg

Eric

 Bacula users are most likely involved in other projects. Perhaps they 
 can inquire and see how that transition went.
 
 I'll ask FSFE what other project have been through this.  At this point, I 
 have no reason to think there will be any down side to this ...

[Bacula-users] Bacula FD with FreeBSD Jails

2006-11-17 Thread Alain Wolf
Hello Bacula Users

We run FreeBSD with some Jails, all of them (jails and host system) run
Bacula-FD.

Our problme now is ...

bacula-fd refuses to start on the host system after booting or when
called manually by /usr/local/etc/rc.d/bacula-fd.sh
with the following error:

Local package initialization:
bacula_fd already running? (pid=644 820 993 1170 1344 1554 1886 2099).

The PIDs it complains about are the ones of the bacula-fd processes
already running in the jails.

We use the FreeBSD ports version 1.38.11_1 on FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p15

Regrads
