Re: [Bacula-users] Is there a way...
Yeah sorry about my english, I'm not so clear. All these tapes are in the same pool, and the VOLUME retention is 18 days (cause the first tape goes to the bank, the second becomes first after 20 days, and so on..). I've read a lot about the retentions, I know that there is a thing about the priority, something like : VOLUME => JOBS => FILES. I assume that I don't really understand the roles of the jobs and files retention, any help is welcom on that one.. I don't do an "update slot" (you mean, manually ?). I thought I could set a tape to the "used" status manually when it goes to the bank, but the point is I don't want to do things manually. Hope you get my point ! Thx !

[Bacula-users] Is there a way...
Hey, I was wondering if there is a way to tell bacula not to ask the oldest tape it wrote on.. I mean, when a tape is pruned, it's status come to "Recycle". Is there a way to put all the status tape to recycle (those who the retention is over, that means they could be pruned), and not only the oldest one ? Why.. ? Because I'm using 20 tapes, but every twenty days (one tape per day), one tape goes to the bank. I take a new tape and the cycle goes on during twenty days etc.. The problème is, if I put a tape in the bank, 19 days later Bacula will ask me THIS special tape, which is not available (cause in the bank..). Is there a solution for this problem or it is inherent to the way Bacula actually works ? Thx by advance. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Is-there-a-way...-tp29108233p29108233.html Sent from the Bacula - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

In the webacula interface, the state of the current task is set to : "is
waiting on Storage Tape"
Come on, the tape is labeled, mounted ! What's wrong !

Re: [Bacula-users] Re cycling is not working.
Yeah thanks !
I had not understood the "maximum volume" use, you're saying I've to wait 20
days from the last tape written right ? (cause there is only 1 volume in the
pool ?)
I thought it was from the "last written" value of a specific tape I had to
care about to reuse the same one.
It's ok for the volume use duration, I understand that one ;)
Number of tapes will grow up every month so I've commented the "maximum
volume", restarted the backup and it looks good now.
Thanks John ! (again ! ;)

[Bacula-users] Re cycling not working.
Hey,
I've a problem (I guess) cause bacula doesn't recycle my tape, even when
volume retention is over.
Here is the pool part of my bacula-dir.conf :
# Tape Pool definition
Pool {
Name = TapePool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Use Duration = 18 hours
Volume Retention = 20 days # one year
Maximum Volumes = 1 # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
Maximum Volume Jobs = 2
Label Format = "Day-"
}
Look at the tape day-20A (retention period and the last written thing)
http://www.flickr.com/photos/47940...@n08/4641302169/sizes/l/
And now look at the error (1month after the last written thing on the tape,
bacula seems to not recycle the tape..)
http://www.flickr.com/photos/47940...@n08/4641307241/sizes/l/
There is a problem, right ?

Re: [Bacula-users] Fwd: Can someone help me to solve my logical problem... ?
Yeah, you're right.. I'm dumb.
I did something like that :
Schedule {
Name = "SchedTapeRetDay"
# Run = Full mon-fri at 23:05
Run = Full w01, w05, w09, w13, w17, w21, w25, w29, w33, w37, w41, w45,
w49, w53 tue-fri at 23:05
Run = Full w02, w03, w04, w06, w07, w08, w10, w11, w12, w14, w15, w16,
w18, w19, w20, w22, w23, w24, w26, w27, w28, w30, w31, w32, w34, w35, w36,
w38, w49, w40, w42, w43, w44, w46, w47, w48, w50, w51, w52 mon-fri at 23:05
}
Schedule {
Name = "SchedTapeRetYear"
Run = Full w01, w05, w09, w13, w17, w21, w25, w29, w33, w37, w41, w45,
w49, w53 Mon at 23:05
}
That sould work fine.
Thank you John.
I'll be back in 1 month to confirm the process ;)

Well, about that..
Is there a way to use an exception for one or several days ?
Schedule {
Name = "SchedTapeRetDay"
Run = Full mon-fri at 23:05
}
Schedule {
Name = "SchedTapeRetYear"
Run = Full w01, w05, w09, w13, w17, w21, w25, w29, w33, w37, w41, w45,
w49, w53 Mon at 23:05
}
You see the problem. For the mondays who are parts of w01, w05 etc. bacula
will double the backup.
My only issue at this point is to stop the backup manually when this
configuration appears.
Any idea ?
I just need to create 2 pools / 2 jobs now, one for 365 days vol retention
(schedule for w01, w04 etc..) and the other one for 21 days vol retention.

Re: [Bacula-users] Fwd: Can someone help me to solve my logical problem... ?
Yeah that should work ! Thanks ! I upgraded bacula to the 5.0.1, it seems like I can reuse a tape when Vol Retention is exceeded (even if jobs and files retention are not exceeded). The volume status of the tape is set to Used when the Vol retention is reached. I just need to create 2 pools / 2 jobs now, one for 365 days vol retention (schedule for w01, w04 etc..) and the other one for 21 days vol retention. Am I right ?

Re: [Bacula-users] Can someone help me to solve my logical problem... ?
I don't know if it's "normal", but I can't reuse a tape if files and jobs are not pruned, even if the volume is. Files retention and Jobs retention ar definited in the client section. Plus, how can I say to bacula, "use this pool every twentieth backup" ? John M.

[Bacula-users] Can someone help me to solve my logical problem... ?
Hello, I have a problem with my personnal cycle tape. Let's see how it works : I have 20 tapes who are changed everyday. Everytime the 20s tape comes, I put it in a box during 365 days. It's like that : 1- 2- 3- 4- 5- . . . 20--> In the box during 1 year And so on... 1- (New tape) 2- (Ex 1st tape) 3- (Ex 2nd tape) . . . 20--> In the box during 1 year You see my problem ? I haven't the same retention times for the tapes who are rewritted every 20 days, and those who are keeped during one year. The problem is that I put the catalog name in the client... and as I know, I can't have two same client right ? I can't find any solution, excepted keeping files, jobs and volumes during only 20 days and save the catalog in each tape, and rebuilt the catalog to recover datas... But that's not easy to use.. Can someone has an idea ?

[Bacula-users] Still have problems with backups on tape...
Hello,
I've a problem with my tape backups.
When I start the job BackCvsOnTape, it does anything. I set the setdebug to
200 and the trace to "on" but I got no relevent information.
Here is my conf :
Bacula-dir
JobDefs {
Name = "DefaultJob"
Type = Backup
Level = Full
# FileSet = "FullSet" # Ex : pour file backup de lan-backup01 => desactive
pour le moment
Storage = Disk
Messages = Standard
Priority = 10
Write Bootstrap = "/opt/bacula/working/%c.bsr"
}
Job {
Name = "BackupCvsOnTape"
Client = cvs-fd
Pool = TapePool
FileSet = "cvsFileSet"
Schedule = "SchedTape"
# RunBeforeJob = "/opt/bacula/sysconf/mount_tape"
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
Storage = Tape
}
FileSet {
Name = "cvsFileSet"
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
}
File = /cvs/vira.txt
}
}
Schedule {
Name = "SchedTape"
Run = Full mon-sun at 23:05
}
Client {
Name = cvs-fd
Address = cvs.klee.lan.net
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = "kleeklee" # password for FileDaemon
File Retention = 365 days # 30 days
Job Retention = 365 days# six months
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}
Storage {
Name = Tape
# Do not use "localhost" here
Address = 172.20.3.200# N.B. Use a fully qualified name
here
SDPort = 9103
Password = "kleeklee"
Device = LTO-2
Media Type = Ultrium2
}
Pool {
Name = TapePool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Use Duration = 18 hours
Volume Retention = 10 minutes # one year
# Maximum Volume Jobs = 10
Maximum Volumes = 1 # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
Label Format = "Day-"
}
bacula-sd
Device {
Name = LTO-2
Drive Index = 0
Device Type = Tape
Media Type = Ultrium2
Archive Device = /dev/st0
AutomaticMount = yes;
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = no;
LabelMedia = yes;
Spool Directory = /tmp/spool
Maximum Spool Size = 7
Random Access = no;
}
When I run a job, I just got a :
"lan-backup01-dir Start Backup JobId 125,
Job=BackupCvsOnTape.2010-03-08_10.05.17_04"
2 days later, the job is still running but nothing append.
I tried to purge everything (jobs, pools, volumes) several times, I've
labeled the volume and.. that's it.
I have the same job who backup on the disk and everything work fine.
Where should I look ?
Thx !
Ps : bacula 5.0.0, centos 5.4 x64

Actually the label is rewritten everytime but with the same name. If Recycle is set to yes and all Jobs have been pruned, the volume status will be set to Purged and the volume may then be reused when another volume is needed. If the volume is reused, it is relabeled with the same Volume Name, however all previous data will be lost. I've made a test with the new label, it worked fine. But the volume name hasn't a "speaking" name, it's just Day-0016, Day-0017.. Thx a lot btw, I couldn't find it by myself !

Re: [Bacula-users] Problems with automatic labeling

Bacula will then append a number to it. or label them once manually. Yes I understood that bacula use to append a number to the label volumes, maybe this is my mistake cause I don't use it.. >> be sure to set Retention times on the pool (e.g. for your schedule maybe 18 days) and and a use duration (maybe 1 day as you change it on a daily basis). I know that my Retention times is wrong right now, but I'm just doing some test so I purge volumes manually. But Thanks for the use duration, I will set it up. Well, again, assuming that the volume is purged from the catalog, the tape is rewind and "woef-ed".. I still don't unterstand why bacula doesn't want to relabel the volume. I mean, the label format worked fine for the first backup but apparently there is no way to relabel the tape. Will it really fix the problem if I change the label format ?

Re: [Bacula-users] Problems with automatic labeling
Because I change tape everyday during 20 days.
It easyer to know wich tape I need if the volume name include the date and
time isn't it ?
Define the label format like I did does impact the recycle fonction of
bacula ?
What should be set in the label format ?

Re: [Bacula-users] Pool with AutoPrune=no
I guess you should set up a volume retention in your pool and set both Recycle and Autoprune to yes. When the value of your Volume retention is reached, it is automatically purged in your catalog. Then your volume can be recycled. If anyone can confirm ?

Re: [Bacula-users] Backup two clients to same tape...
You just need to create 2 Jobs for your clients :
Job {
Name = "BackupClient1OnTape"
Client = Client1
Pool = YourPool
FileSet = "Client1FileSet"
Schedule = "YourSched"
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
Storage = Tape
}
Job {
Name = "BackupClient2OnTape"
Client = Client2
Pool = YourPool
FileSet = "Client2FileSet"
Schedule = "YourSched"
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
Storage = Tape
}
What's the problem ?
