Re: [Bacula-users] Failed on backup volume 2 suddenly
Hi Heitor, Many thanks! But tried to recreate a new database and catalog since I stuck there for some times. Now, the backup job was running and doing volume 3 data backup. Hope it will be accomplished in this weekend. BTW, any advise/references of tuning DB dir inserting faster? Thanks in advance! Best regards,Keith On Wednesday, November 12, 2014 8:35 PM, hei...@bacula.com.br hei...@bacula.com.br wrote: Keith, Did you check this? It's for MySQL, but for PgSQL I think would be the same logic. Fixing table 'bacula.batch' doesn't exist Newer versions of Bacula create a temporary working table in order to do batch inserts, which can greatly speed up inserting attributes into the catalog. Unfortunately, if the MySQL connection gets dropped for any reason (such as a timeout) the temporary table goes away. If you're seeing these problems, there are two workarounds.The simplest one is to turn off batch inserts. This will revert to the older, somewhat slower behavior, but it should avoid this particular glitch.The other option is to alter the MySQL timeouts to a sufficiently long value that the connection never gets yanked out from under Bacula. For example, adding these two lines to your my.cnf file in the [mysqld] block will set the relevant timeouts to 8 days.wait_timeout=691200 interactive_timeout=691200Future versions of MySQL will automatically set the timeout values, which should prevent the problem without requiring changing the global MySQL timeout values. Source: http://wiki.bacula.org/doku.php?id=faq What I mean: it's not a database integrity problem, it should be fine, and perhaps the error you should observe is the abrupt backup connection termination.

Re: [Bacula-users] Failed on backup volume 2 suddenly
Hi Heitor, Thanks for your kind reply! No upgrade had done in those few months for Bacula. If DB got error, just query why volume 1 has no problem but always stuck at volume 2? Is it able to check/repair the DB comes with bacula? Or shall I check postgresql manual? I ran the job again after replaced another USB docking and HDD to see whether it would be the issue related.

Re: [Bacula-users] Unable to recover data using bscan
Hi Ana, Thanks for the point! I think I could not avoid setup the previous old version for this recovery when the new version currently use seems not working. I had already tried bextract command and failed as it seems to be not possible for encrypted data referring to some posts. Thanks much again for your helps!

Your 2012 backups have database vesion=12 and your current catalog uses version 14. If this is the problem, I'm not sure it is, then you can solve it creating an 5.0.3 director virtual machine with an empty database and restore the 8 volumes and jobs with bscan. For old backups, I normally use bextract for restores, mainly because I don't have file retention times too long and with bextract I can easly do full restores or select folders/files I want be restored (and you can use only one volume or all of them).

When changed Media Type from Disk to File', I could run the job but a new
volume was created on usbdocking1 but not usbdocking2 when HDD is full on
usbdocking1? If using same archive device (e.g. usbdocking1), it won't backup
on to another even the HDD is full.
Any hints? Thanks in advance!

I wonder why the command prompted me to check sg device but not sd device
since I was connected a USB docking with dual slots.
Recap:
#Bacula is running as root

/etc/bacula/usbchanger1.conf is not an sg device, or old sg driver
In My Very Humble Opinion you are going in the wrong way!!! Stop before someone
gets hurt. :)
First of all. Do you have a tape library or autochanger connected into your
Bacula server? Could you show an output of the command (run as root):
# lsscsi -g
If you do not have any tape library then please forget about mtx-changer
script. It is for tape library/autochanger not disks.

[Bacula-users] Is this strategy sensible ?
We been using Bacula for just over a month now and want to get our offsite backups in place. We do file based backups with the following schedule. Name = WeeklyCycle Run = Level=Full Pool=Full-Pool 1st sun at 20:40 Run = Level=Differential Pool=Diff-Pool 2nd-5th sun at 20:40 Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Inc-Pool mon-sat at 20:40 The above schedule works fine, But I want to rsync the backup files to another data center automatically. The above schedule works fine but when a full backup happens there's to much data to transfer over the network. So I am thinking about modifying the schedule so that the full backups only happen once every 6 months and using weekly Diff's as these's are much easier to transfer as our data doesn't change that often. Then every 6 months we'd manualy trawnsfer the full backup files. Is this a good idea ? If we do the above it would be nice to have a seperate Full backup schedule that we run in addition just as a precaution. We couldn't transfer the full backups anywhere they would just be there in case. If we were to do this we would need the additional full backups to run without modifying the files on the clients. Is this possible ? Thanks Keith -- Try before you buy = See our experts in action! The most comprehensive online learning library for Microsoft developers is just $99.99!

[Bacula-users] Can't get multiple catalogs to work.
I can't get bacula to work with two catalogs, if I have two catalog
entries in the bacula-dir.conf file and start Bacula it starts up ok but
if I then run a job via BAT or the Webmin Bacula gui the job doesn't
seem to start. So I've striped out all of the additional catalog stuff
from the bacula-dir.conf file and restarted bacula. Ran a job via Webmin
and the job ran as expected !
So if I add an additional catalog to the bacula-dir.conf as follows
Catalog {
Name = Cat-Full
dbname = bacula_full; dbuser = bacula; dbpassword = secret
}
Catalog {
Name = Cat-Standard
dbname = bacula; dbuser = bacula; dbpassword = secret
}
Restart Bacula try and run a job and nothing seems to happen.
I haven't realy used bconsole as BAT Webmin were great, just hoping
that they can cope with two cataloges
Can anyone help ?
Cheers
Keith

[Bacula-users] Schedule virtual servers so their not running concurrently
We have about 80 virtual servers running on 20 Physical servers that need backed up. Our Bacula implementation is now at scheduling stage and we are stuck trying to figure out how to get the virtual servers to backup without them all running concurrently overwhelming the physical servers that they are on. Our current plan is to have just one Schedule that will start at 1am then we will give each virtual server a unique priority, We plan to give the the first Job a priority of 5 then the next 10 and on.This seems a messy but I can't see any other way to stop or limit the number of virtual servers on the same physical server from running at the same time. There must be other people with load of virtual servers that have the same issues. This has probably been that forth or fifth email that I have written to this group. I've never sent the previous ones as I 've always found a solution before sending the email, but this time I'm stuck. It seems that the people that make Bacula what it is have though of everything and I'm just hoping there an elegant solution to my problem. Any help is really appreciated.

Are these compressed backups? Hi Adrian, The 10G was just a new additional client being introduced into the Bacula. Now that the backups seems to be working I need to figure out how to implement an offsite strategy, I want to use a combination of removable disks and rsync to do this. I think bacula is not the ideal tool for running additional offsite backups. And very likely rsync is not a good way if you use bacula. Oh ok I have 3 possibilities in mind: 1. If you are not talking about windows clients, I'd consider using rsync (e.g. via rsnapshot) to run the complete offsite backup unrelated to bacula. Run one rsync/rsnapshot job per client and the 'new' client will just run longer, independent of the others except the shared bandwidth. Via rsnapshot you only need to do 1 full backup per client, changed files just lead to new full backupsets, but only the difference needs to be transferred. We do that on several locations and wrote a wrapper round rsnapshot (which is a wrapper round rsync), debian packages are available at deb http://ftp.lihas.de/debian stable main package rsnapshot-backup. If you add some file unification tool, you get away with far less used diskspace. + only changes need to be transferred + initial backup can easily be transferred on external media to save bandwidth - no bacula, no bacula indexes - no backup of windows clients / anything that doesn't have rsync We have some Unix servers but the bulk of our servers are Windows. Our old/current backup strategy is to do full backups nightly and these are about 450G Compressed. If I could I would like to do some type of copy jobs where I copy the Incremental files to another place on the server and then get rsync to down these files knowing that they were just the incrementals. 2. Alternatively you can use the normal bacula backup + a copy job. As copy jobs only work on same bacula-sd, you could e.g. NFS-mount some external server and store the target pools there. The copy full pool is to local disks on individual mountpoints. Move the volumes to the remote location and replace it with links to remote NFS. + works with all clients - regularily transporting volumes offsite is required Only just read about Migration / Copy jobs last night (I am slowly getting through the Bacula manual) and will probably try to get one of these jobs working later today. I plan to have one dedicated bacula-fd server and have also planned to put the removable disks (Offsite Backup) into this server. If I can get Bacula manage my offsite disks and to also know whats on these disk will be great. 3. Run a complete seperate job instance to the remote site using a bacula-sd installed there. Use virtual full backups to create the fulls from the full/diff/inc backups. Initially a full backup has to pass the remote connection. + works with all clients 0 initial full might be expensive in bandwidth Currently I use 1. and 2. myself. With 3. I ran into trouble selecting the correct pools in my environment and virtual full in general including a tape changer with a single drive. There are network / firewall issue outwith my control that would make remote Bacula backups an issue. If I add a new server to be backed up to Bacula midweek it does a full backup in the INC pool. This might be a big backup and screw-up my Rsync job. Does this seem like a good idea and goes anyone know how keep Full backups out of the INC or DIFF pool Just do a manual initial full backup on the new client. As I assume they don't appear magically in your backup setup. Regards, Adrian Your right, they shouldn't just be appearing but they are while I play with Bacula :) But in the future when adding new clients in then it makes sense to manually kick off a full backup. Adrian, thanks for the detailed answers. I give the copy jobs a try and see how I get on. Cheers Keith. -- Ridiculously easy VDI.

We're seeing very slow spooling from a locally-attached disk: 12-Jun 10:31 rodney-sd JobId 179: User specified spool size reached. 12-Jun 10:44 rodney-sd JobId 179: Spooling data again ... 12-Jun 15:11 rodney-sd JobId 179: User specified spool size reached. 12-Jun 15:23 rodney-sd JobId 179: Spooling data again ... 12-Jun 19:59 rodney-sd JobId 179: User specified spool size reached. 12-Jun 20:12 rodney-sd JobId 179: Spooling data again ... 12-Jun 23:33 rodney-sd JobId 179: User specified spool size reached. 12-Jun 23:46 rodney-sd JobId 179: Spooling data again ... The spool size is set to 40Gb, so the above shows around 12-13 minutes to despool 40Gb to tape (sounds reasonable: tape is LT04), but between about 3.5hrs and 4.5hrs to copy the data to the spooling area. Both the spooling area and and source disk are locally mounted SCSI disks. No other Bacula jobs are running. A manual copy of data from the source disk to the spooling area seems not unreasonably slow: 11G copied in 5m15s, which would suggest that the 40Gb spool size should be copied in around 19 minutes. I fully accept that this slow spooling may be due to factors other than Bacula, but given that manual copy is running around 10-12 faster than the Bacula spool, I was wondering if there are any known issues with Bacula spooling? (Also grateful for other suggestions or tests we can run). Bacula version 2.4.4 Thanks, Keith -- ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.

Re: [Bacula-users] Slow spooling
Apologies: I should have added that this was a full backup, so the slowness is not due to searching for newer files. -- ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.

[Bacula-users] one time local full and then remote differentials
I dug around in the archives but didn't find this yet so I'll ask. I need to do a 50 gig remote backup with only a T-1 at the remote site. I want to perform the initial full backup of the data locally from a USB drive image of the remote data, and then update the bacula client and job configurations to point to the remote server and somehow trick Bacula into performing only differential backups of the remote site using the backup from the USB drive. With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. -- RFC 1925 -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

[Bacula-users] Remote backup
I hope this isn't an old question. I did a little archive searching but didn't find anything. I want to do a FULL 50 gig backup locally (on the LAN), from a usb drive snapshot of a remote servers data maybe once or twice a year. Subsequently, I want to run INCREMENTAL backups over the Internet. i.e. I don't want a FULL triggered in any way for the over the Internet runs. So the differences between the two backups would be 1. a change in the client config (IP address), and 2. initially there would be no state file on the remote client server to agree with the cataloged FULL job record created from the local FULL snapshot. I don't know about director and/or storage daemon state files if any. Does the backup level selection logic tie into the clients state file job history or is the level choice completely director/catalog based? If its a director only decision, will I need to make any manual updates to the FULL job record prior to beginning the INCREMENTAL runs? Thanks in advance if anyone knows. -- Keith Stevens With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.

[Bacula-users] status jobs shows odd sizes
We're seeing some odd sizes reported for incremental backups. A 'status jobs' shows, firstly, for a full backup: 338 Full 19,796,3962.916 T OK 06-Apr-09 04:07 Client1 That looks right: nearly 20 million files and nearly 3Tb. Now an incremental: 340 Incr 1,0851.313 T OK 07-Apr-09 13:10 Client1 Just over a thousand files (believable) but 1.3Tb of data (not believable). That would suggest an average file size of over a gigabyte whereas the full back suggests an average file size of around 150K, which is much more believable. Quite apart from anything else, it's unlikely that 1.3Tb would even fit on an AIT5 tape. Whilst the backups seem to run successfully, it would be good to fix this erroneous reporting. Any suggestions for doing so would be appreciated. Bacula 2.4.2 Thanks, Keith -- This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.

But my apologies if this has been asked a lot. I didn't find the answer by searching. I just did a some testing and figured it out for myself. Nothing that follows is recommended (by me) unless you're comfortable with db-admin tasks, sql, and probably C so that you can look into bacula source code to confirm your suspicions about how things work. But actually, doing what follows was pretty easy. We're running bacula 2.2.8 on Debian. I'd like to replace our main fileserver without having to do a full backup of the jobs immediately after the switch. Just to clarify, our fileserver is just computer running bacula-fd. We have about 25 TB of data on some FC disk arrays. Our filesystems are xfs and we use LVM for some nice flexibilty. We'll unplug our old server from the FC switch and plug our new server in. Mount the filesystems and go from there. This worked really well. Copying the /etc/lvm configuration from old to new is what's needed. What is my best bet for getting incrementals to work the next evening? 1) Alter the client table. (I.e. add a new client entry, immediately stop bacula, manually change the two client entries in database table so that the new server has the old servers clientID.) 2) Alter the jobs table (i.e. alter the clientID entry for every job row so that the new servers clientID is listed where the old server used to be.) 3) Buy new tapes dude, you're screwed. If so, why? Thanks! Keith Option 2 was the path I took. After backing up the bacula config and db to my hearts content, I configured the new client and ran a simple backup. Then I looked into the client table and saw what I wanted. Then I ran: update job set clientid = 14 where clientid = 2; (Your query may be different and involve more in the where clause depending on your setup.) Then I updated the jobs jobdefs so that the new fileserver replace the old fileserver. Now its like the old filesystems are on a new server, and I can do incremental backups immediately. If you want to do this, make sure you test it all yourself. Thanks!

[Bacula-users] Bacula restore incomplete
Hi there, We are running bacula 2.2.8 on an Ubuntu 8.04 distro. We are backing up a Windows 2003Server, 5 XP PC's and the Ubuntu server. A relatively small system. Everything appears to be set up ok. The Director is running happily with reports coming through on e-mail. The Server2003 machine holds our teacher Users directory with 25 teachers (each with their own directory. We also back up the Mail directory - also 25 teachers. When we restore (as a trial to test it) we find only a few Directories reappearing for the Users and Mail directories. Why is this? I am at a complete loss. We are postulating that only the Incrementals are restored???

[Bacula-users] Changing backup completely / blanking or relabel tapes quickly
Hi Guys, Currently we backup every day to tape, we are changing to backup every thing to NAS each night and then backing the NAS up with Bacula every Friday. I am wondering what is the quickest way to blank / relabel a tape. I have a whole pile of tapes I need to add to Fridays job pool that are currently in other pools. I was thinking about having 24 friday tapes, friday1, friday2, friday3 etc and putting them in the pool Friday.

I am wanting to use it on my Xen box, I will be running Bacula on the Dom0 which will be CentOS and the two virtual machines will be Windows 2003 SBS and a CentOS 5.1. I will be deploying agents on the the two virtual machines and run the Bacula server on the Dom0 where the tape drive is connected, I will be backing up MS SQL and MS Exchange databases on the Windows box plus standard file backups. Does this sound sane? I am also wondering what is the best way to install Bacula on RHEL and it's clones like CentOS? This must be a popular version of Linux to install Bacula on? Are there any RPM's available? I need to be running Bacula 2.0+ for the Exchange feature, I did stumble across some RPM's for version 2.0.3 I am not sure if there are any issues with that version and windows open file / Exchange / MS SQL backing up?

Re: [Bacula-users] Unable to Connect fo File daemon. ERR:No Route to host
A little bit more detail, if you need it. See if iptables is blocking the
port, after your host configs are done. You may want to do a quick test on the
director and storage host. (Save the settings, stop iptables, test bacula,
start iptables, then configure iptables correctly.) I won't make suggestions
about the last step, but its probably documented somewhere.
Steps 1,2, 4 are:
/etc/init.d/iptables save
/etc/init.d/iptables stop
/etc/init.d/iptables start
I don't suppose this is dangerous for a short testing period, but would anyone
suggest that you not do this?

Make sure you have a valid route to the client.
Do you use subnetting?
Can you ping the client from the director computer?

I have a couple more machines to setup but I need the above to work. I
followed what the documentation said. Is there a specific version of the
bacula-client that CentOS prefers. I am using version 1.36.2 of bacula-dir
and 1.36.3-1 of the bacula-client. I have even modified hl72's host file to
make sure it knows how to get the the director and I still have this
problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

[Bacula-users] Bacula issues with Linux Fibre Channel drive
Hello,
I'm having a hard time tracking down some issues with bacula on my Linux2.6.9k
system. I have the sense that the issue could be the result of a
misconfiguration of a wide variety of sub-systems. I've spent a lot of time
learning how to update firmware, verify driver versions and Fibre Channel
topology. So with apologies in advance for my inability to identify the
important info first... here's my issue.
I have a 4-cpu Xeon system that runs RedHat AS4. This has an Overland 11 slot
changer (/dev/sg12) with an HP LTO3 drive (/dev/nst0). This runs through a
AIC7xxx type of scsi card.
I rebuilt to bacula 2.0.2 last month. I also had the same issues last year
using 1.3.36. I use postgres 7.4.13 as the db.
The bacula system seems to function well on its own as tests with btape have no
issues. But, when jobs are run, the jobs run very slowly with long halts.
Also, thousands of these messages are put in the kernel ring buffer while the
jobs are spooling to the staging area. The database is on one Fibre Chan.
drive. The spooling directory is on another Fibre Channel drive. Most of data
getting backed up is from those and other FC drives. All of those drives are on
Fibre channel arrays on ioc0 using the mpt-fusion driver.
mptbase: ioc0: LogInfo(0x2008): SubCl={FCP Initiator}
mptbase: ioc0: LogInfo(0x2008): SubCl={FCP Initiator}

mptbase: ioc0: LogInfo(0x2008): SubCl={FCP Initiator}
mptbase: ioc0: LogInfo(0x2008): SubCl={FCP Initiator}
This bacula issue is the only issue that I have with the system. I can't
determine if the issue is related to bacula directly or if it is an indirect
problem that only appears during bacula due to the high throughput.
Have there been issue related to bacula's file usage on similar systems? (Just
grasping at straws.) Can anyone offer suggestions one identifying or solving
the problem?

[Bacula-users] Ubuntu missing mysql scripts?
After RTFM/Google/Gmame/etc., I still can't find a way to re-init the bacula mysql db. The bacula manual directs you to use 'drop_bacula_tables' and 'bacula_tables,' but nothing close to them exists on my system (per locate command). I just want to empty the mysql database so I can start over with new volumes and new backup schedules. I am using Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) on x86 running bacula 1.38.11. -- Keith Reed [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.fastmail.fm - mmm... Fastmail... - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Bacula-users] the DREADED autochanger won't load problem
Wow that was a helpful reply Arno. Thank you. Your btape advice will be heeded. Bacula is fantasic. Could it be that I was only missing the update slots command? (see below) Message: 1 Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2006 00:50:27 +0100 (MET) From: Arno Lehmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] the DREADED autochanger won't load problem To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed I?ve been able to get through about 5 tapes of full backup by manually loading and mounting the tapes. That is, the jobs are working fine, but the jobs are much bigger than the tapes? and bacula won?t change the tapes itself. Ok, first thing to try: Use the query command and check which volumes Bacula thinks are in the changer (hopefully that query is in your version...). Then: Use the 'Update slots scan' command and see what it reports. When I ran query, it reported there were only 2 tapes in the changer instead of the 11 newly labeled tapes. I ran update slots without problem and now query reports the tapes correctly. I started a job and bacula went off and loaded tapes and got things moving. Success! Bacula: 1.38.5 (run as root) RHEL4 We have a 11 slot LTO3 changer with no barcodes on the tapes. I?ve manually labeled all of the tapes in bconsole (via mtx /dev/sg8 load 1, then label.) How exactly did your label command look? My changer.volumes You mean you've got Bacula set up with the fake autochanger feature? I would NOT recommend to use that. Does that mean you recommend using barcoded labels? Or is there more too the fake autochanger setup that I'm using? ... Giving the mtx ?f /dev/sg8 status : ... looks normal. ... Starting a job: 16-Nov 16:52 backup3-dir: Start Backup JobId 537, Job=data.2006-11-16_16.52.32 16-Nov 16:52 backup3-sd: 3301 Issuing autochanger loaded drive 0 command. 16-Nov 16:52 backup3-sd: 3302 Autochanger loaded drive 0, result: nothing loaded. 16-Nov 16:52 backup3-sd: 3301 Issuing autochanger loaded drive 0 command. 16-Nov 16:52 backup3-sd: 3302 Autochanger loaded drive 0, result: nothing loaded. 16-Nov 16:52 backup3-sd: Please mount Volume F06T06 on Storage Device drive1 (/dev/nst0) for Job data.2006-11-16_16.52.32 Normal so far, because because it's quite possible that Bacula doesn't know the volme it wants is in the autochanger. ... I think we have a stock mtx-changer: ... then it's time to fix it, erm, to make it better suit your needs :-) ... especially here: # Increase the sleep time if you have a slow device # or remove the sleep and add the following: # wait_for_drive $device ... I'd usually recommend to use the wait_for_drive function if it works on your system. How will I know if the wait_for_drive function works? By uncommenting it and testing it with btape? ... Any pointers would be appreciated. It will probably really help you if you started with btape, checking your hardware setup, and learning how it works. Once you really need that knowledge there might be people around telling you to get at your data really soon.. I understand. Thanks very much. Anyway, I suspect you're only missing how to operate Bacula together with an autochanger. The key point is that Bacula needs to know which volumes are in the autochanger.

[Bacula-users] New Admin
Good Day, I'm taking over as one of our sysadmins at work and have found that we're using Bacula to implement our datacenter backups. It seems to have been installed and at one time worked, but our last admin decided documentation was a form of unholy evil and stayed fully away from it. So I'm trying to get up to speed post haste to start our backup cycles again. At this time, I just have some silly questions but the answers will really help me out as to finding out the problem and getting it solved. When I first logged in I had some messages, I typed 'messages' and got them - sort of skimmed through to see what kinds of messages bacula gives. I made the poor assumption that they'd still be there when I went back - I was incorrect. Is there a log that these are logged to somewhere? There were valid errors in there about labels that I would like to see. Also, if it's stating: Archive DATACENTER-TAPE1 is not open or does not exist. Is this a permissions issue perhaps? I'm currently going through the tutorial I found looking for instances of this. Any other advice you guys may have would be most appreciated. I really need to get my head wrapped around this program quickly as it's priority number one in my department. Best Regards, -Keith - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Rudolf Cejka wrote: Keith Brautigam wrote (2006/02/15): Quinton Jansen wrote: What speeds are others getting when using an LTO-3 drive? I take up interest just in direct writing speed to the tape reported by iostat, which I have typically about 60-80 MB/s, but still I think that it should be better, because 80 MB/s is native speed of LTO-3 drives without compression, so with compression it should be possible to go above 100 MB/s (look for example at http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11739_div/11739_div.html). What actual speed are you getting now during the de-spooling process? Also, how would you recommend measuring how fast you are writing to the tape (I realize you're on FreeBSD not Linux)? I'm new to having such a fast drive and am also interested in in creasing write performance. If I'm reading the numbers correctly, 2GB in 13 minutes (10GB/hour) is way too slow (should be around 200G/hour). From bacula report? There is a problem, that there are counted all times, like data spooling and attributes despooling (I suppose, that you do use spooling, because it is almost a must for LTO-3 drive). Feb 15 00:39:23 localhost kernel: scsi0 : Adaptec AIC79XX PCI-X SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 1.3.11 Feb 15 00:39:23 localhost kernel: Adaptec 29320ALP Ultra320 SCSI adapter Feb 15 00:39:23 localhost kernel: aic7901: Ultra320 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, PCI-X 67-100Mhz, 512 SCBs It would be interesting to see the real agreed communication speed, beause I still have problem to run LTO-3 drive from HP with Adaptec using 320 MB/s (it is known bug). It works just with 160 MB/s, so I had to buy LSILogic, which does work with my LTO-3 over 320 MB/s very well. However, I did not get any speed differences :o( My dedicated bacula server is a dual Athlon MP 2GzH system with 4 SATA drives (add-in non-RAID 4 port Promise controller) and a Gig NIC running Linux Ubuntu 5.10. I have the same version of bacula, and it is also compiled from source. FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE, dual Intel Xeon 3.6 GHz, spooling is on 3ware 9500 with 7 drive RAID-0. How did you arrive at using hardware RAID and seven drives? Was that convenient with your hardware, or did you first try a smaller number of drives (like I have) and find they were not enough? The main performance enhancement for me was switching to a system with more CPU power. The second most important performance enhancement was how I configured the systems four drives, so as to not be disk I/O bound This is what I already said before: Bacula has and will have more and more performance problems with high speed backup cofigurations. MD5 checksums should be either precomputed before writing data to the tape, or maybe there would help two writing threads instead of just one: One thread would read data and compute md5, the second thread would just try to write data to the tape. (although that's still the slows part of the system). Two of the drives are configured with software RAID1 for the OS etc. The other two (250GB each) are configured as software RAID0 with XFS, and serve as a dedicated data spool for bacula. I also spool attributes so that data entry into the catalog does not slow writing to the tape. The second problem is that there can be just one spooling area, where one read + write RAID array may have performance problems even in very good configuration. There would be good to have some possibility to say, that spooling area is exclusively reserved for despooling process (or atleast more independent spooling areas, some reservation feature, ...). not sure). I believe the advertised speed for LTO3 is around 60 MB/sec, 80 MB/s but I think seeing a 44 MB/sec average in real world performance (on a relatively old and cheap server) is pretty decent. However for LTO-3 it is not very satisfactory, because minimal physical speed accomodation for LTO-3 drives is 27 MB/s (HP) or 40 MB/s (IBM), so 44 MB/s is the lowver bound for IBM drives for best effectivity. It would be interesting to see, how many repositions is done during write. There is one value in HP drives (Repositions Per 100 MB), which can help in performance diagnostics. And I think that there are even better counters in IBM drives. How do you find/set the number of repositions? What other sorts of tuning did you perform on the drive? Also, I'm using an older SCSI controller card (160 not 320) and have never tried to tune the drive with mt or any other utility. My experiences are not so good among 160 MB/s and 320 MB/s - I have the same performance in both cases for now. So it sounds like I should be okay with an older Adaptec 160 MB/s card? --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!

With this configuration I'm getting between 40 and 54 MB/sec write to the tape drive during the de-spooling process with an average around 44 MB/sec. During that time bacula uses about 50% of the system's CPU power (I think this may be because I have md5 sums turned on, but I'm not sure).

[Bacula-users] multiple catalogs
I've made the standard, DefaultCatalog, and one additional catalog named TestCatalog. I then created some tapes in pool 'Test' while connected to TestCatalog. In bcosonle I issue the 'use' command to connect to TestCatalog. Then I start a job. However, the job does not see the volumes in the Test pool. So it seems the job is using the DefaultCatalog, which can see the pool Test, but shows no volumes in it. What am I missing? Is there some place I should specify what catalog a job should use?

[Bacula-users] File retention issue
How can I set different file retention periods for each Fileset or job when they are on the same bacula client? From reading the docs it seems this can't be done since File retention is specified in the client resource, which is a problem for me (unless I'm missing something). Suggestions anyone? I can do something like set long file retention period, do a db query to fine the File Records I don't want, and then purge them. But that seems very hackish compared to just specifying the File retention along with the job or file set and having bacula take care of the purging. Has this been an issue for anyone else? Also, I have different Pools, but that doesn't seem helpful because I need to keep all volume and job records for the same amount of time (1 year). However, for some jobs I don't need or want the file records because I'd only restore entire Filesets and there are millions of files, so the size of the catalog will be problematic. For other Filesets I do need all the file records since I'm most likely to restore individual files here and there. Thanks, Keith --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Bacula-users] VXA2 packetloader tape change issues
Zack,
I'm using bacula 1.38.2. so I use the auto-changer resource. Here's
what I have:
Autochanger {
Name = AutoPakChanger
Device = AutoPakDrive1
Changer Device = /dev/sg2
Changer Command = /etc/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d
}
Device {
Name = AutoPakDrive1
Media Type = AutoPakVXA17
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes;
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
Drive Index = 0
AutoChanger = yes
Alert Command = sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'
}
You may also need to edit the following part of the mtx-changer script...
# enable the following line if you need to eject the cartridge
# mt -f $device offline
An easy way to test if the mtx-changer script works for your autoloader
is to run it by hand. Or you can use 'btape autochanger'
You might want to double-check using /dev/nst0 vs /dev/st0 since I use
nst0 and you have st0 since the VXA drives are non-autorewinding
devices. Also, make sure that 'btape test' works. I got by without the
Hardware End of Medium and Fast Forward Space File directives.
If you haven't already I'd also recommend getting vxaTool from Exabyte,
which lets you enable/disable hardware compression on the VXA drives.
I hope that helps,
Keith

[Bacula-users] autochanger and tape use
Short version - bacula is attempting to use a tape that is not loaded into the autochanger even though a different, usable tape is loaded in the autochanger. According to the documentation (that I have seen), bacula should always prefer to use tapes in the changer to avoid unnecessary operator intervention. Has anyone else run into this kind of problem? Is there something obvious that I'm missing? I'm new to bacula and am otherwise very impressed. Thanks! Keith Long version detail - I am using bacula 1.38 on Linux and have also seen the same problem with bacula 1.37.4 on the same platform. Basically, I have a bunch of tapes with bar codes already labeled by bacula. I use, say, all of tapes 1-7 and part of tape 8. I then pull out tapes 1-8 to store off site having completed a full backup and load in two unused tapes - 9 and 10. I inform bacula of the change with 'update slots' and run a job. The problem is that bacula still tries to use tape 8 even though it's not in the changer. All the tapes are in the same Pool. I can see that when I issue status for the storage daemon from the console. Here's the output from mtx showing the tapes loaded in the changer: mtx -f /dev/sg0 status Storage Changer /dev/sg0:2 Drives, 31 Slots ( 1 Import/Export ) Data Transfer Element 0:Empty Data Transfer Element 1:Empty Storage Element 15:Full :VolumeTag=USER0009 Storage Element 16:Full :VolumeTag=USER0010 Here's the output from `update slots` showing that it works: * update slots Catalog record for Volume USER0009 updated to reference slot 15.

Re: [Bacula-users] autochanger and tape use
My apologies! It looks like I sent this to the announce list by accident. Here it is in the right list... I can reproduce this on two separate bacula installs and two different autochangers. The easiest way is to make two volumes for catalog backups, and create a backup schedule for the catalog. Then, when you query status of the director it will tell you which tape it expects to use (always seems to be the fist volume created) for the scheduled job. If you only load the second created into the autochanger, update the slots, and then query the director again bacula still wants to use the first tape created. When the job actually runs it still tries to use the fist tape even though the second is present in the library (you can see that with an *st st), which causes the job to hang and eventually to be canceled. Am I forgetting something in the config files? I am using the autochanger resource. I have also confirmed that the job runs okay when you give bacula the volume it wants. Has anyone else with an autochanger seen the same problem? Can anyone else reproduce the problem? Kern - is this the same issue that you mentioned is fixed in branch Branch-1_38_0 of the CVS? It sounds different to me.
