To back it up, you need only one Catalog backup job, specifying Client = mistral-fd. __Martin -- Come build with us!

[Bacula-users] version 3
Martin, Cedric, Thanks for the input.
I think my understanding as to how to set up Bacula is a bit off!
The configuration is this:
mistral Ubuntu machine runs the Director, fd and sd with a USB hard drive
connected to back up to. mistral hosts sugarcrm and the database is backed up.
cumulus is a NAS without a client and an nfs mount point allows it to be backed
up.
typhoon Ubuntu machine runs a client and is backed up using the typhoon-fd
Both glyn-laptop and colyn-acer-7 are windows laptops and are running clients.
Both are backed up during the daytime schedule using the file daemons.
>From what you are saying, I don't need multiple catalogs, am I right?
I would appreciate a critique of the director.conf which I have pasted below,
so I can get Bacula running smoothly. I hope you don't mind pasting such a
large lump...

I see you're using JobDefs. The only way for us to get a clear picture
of your Job configs is to include the JobDefs they're based on.
Also, I asked if you could post your FileSets, but it appears you did
not do that, however that may turn out to be moot because...
as Martin pointed out it's rather unusual to have five separate
catalogs, and this may be where you're getting into trouble. You need
to make sure your dump scripts correlate exactly with your clients -- in
other words make absolutely certain you aren't dumping the database to
the backup server's hard drive, and then trying to pull the dump file
from one of your remote client's hard drives (where it obviously doesn't
exist).

That's definitely not good! I can think of three reasons off the top of my head why this might happen: 1) You ran the ls command at JUST the right second -- after the dump job started but before it had generated any data (possible, but unlikely) 2) The dump failed completely 3) The dump job is still running (or, more likely hung) and the dump file is essentially locked by the running job Try running the dump script manually. Look for errors. Check the size of the dump file when it is finished. BTW, it's probably not a bad idea to make sure you're not running low on disk space on /var (or anywhere else). - Cedric -- Come build with us!

Wow, you have 5 different catalogs?! That's unusual.
Are they running on 5 different machines (specified via the JobDefs), which
are all different from your Bacula Director machine?
If so, then you'll either need to use ClientRunBeforeJob and ClientRunAfterJob
to dump the backups on the correct machine or have variants of the
make_catalog_backup script to connect to the correct machine.
Don't forget that the catalog backup job is just a normal job that uses a
normal Bacula FD. You have to ensure that the sql file is present on that
Bacula FD.
