[Bacula-users] moving backup files from one storage area to another
I have the situation, where my backup files are filling up one storage area (disk) on one machine (A) and I wish to move the backup files and backup process to another machine (B). I have defined the new storage entity in the director and the SD process on machine B. Do I have to start the whole backup process from scratch (full, diff, inc) or can I somehow move the files from machine A to B and carry on as usual.

[Bacula-users] Bacula, Jobs and Pools
Greetings, I have been lurking for a few days, and done some experimenting with Bacula. So far so good... But I have a few newbie like questions. 1. Are there any documented backup methodologies given the notion of full, differential and incremental backups? 2. Given a different Pool for each client, is it possible for the Director to process two jobs, from two different clients to two different Volumes on separate pools at the same time? 3. Given a disk/directory of size N Gb and and a tape that can store M Gb (where N >> M ), how would one go about devising some backup regime, given say that it is impossible to go back B months in time to retrieve data? Thanks in advance. -- Russell Sutherland russ AT madhaus . cns . utoronto . ca +1.416.978.0470 [ voice ] +1.416.978.6620 [ fax ] - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Re: [Bacula-users] File Daemon Encryption Maturity
I do not know if this idea has been mentioned before, or whether it has any merit, but for backups done to disk, one could first install an encrypted file system such as gbde and geli for FreeBSD. It seems like another case of flexibility and functionality through modularity.

[Bacula-users] Building bacula on OpenBSD
There does not seem to be a port for Bacula for OpenBSD 4.0. I've tried building the package from source. After configuration, the "make" fails when trying to compile the stored code: ==>Entering directory /usr/local/src/bacula-1.38.11/src/dird Make of dird is good ==>Entering directory /usr/local/src/bacula-1.38.11/src/stored /usr/bin/g++ -c -I/usr/local/include -I. -I.. -g -O2 -Wall -pthread dev.c dev.c: In function `bool eod_dev(DEVICE*)': dev.c:850: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_fileno' dev.c:850: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_blkno' dev.c:852: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_fileno' dev.c:881: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_fileno' dev.c:882: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_fileno' dev.c:899: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_fileno' dev.c:900: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_fileno' dev.c: In function `u_int32_t status_dev(DEVICE*)': dev.c:1023: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_fileno' dev.c:1023: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_blkno' dev.c: In member function `bool DEVICE::fsf(int)': dev.c:1188: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_fileno' dev.c:1188: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_blkno' dev.c:1190: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_fileno' dev.c: In member function `bool DEVICE::fsr(int)': dev.c:1375: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_fileno' dev.c:1375: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_blkno' dev.c:1023: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_fileno' dev.c:1023: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_blkno' dev.c: In member function `bool DEVICE::fsf(int)': dev.c:1188: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_fileno' dev.c:1188: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_blkno' dev.c:1190: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_fileno' dev.c: In member function `bool DEVICE::fsr(int)': dev.c:1375: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_fileno' dev.c:1375: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_blkno' dev.c:1377: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_fileno' dev.c:1378: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_blkno' dev.c: In function `bool dev_get_os_pos(DEVICE*, mtget*)': dev.c:1968: error: 'struct mtget' has no member named 'mt_fileno' *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/local/src/bacula-1.38.11/src/stored. == Error in /usr/local/src/bacula-1.38.11/src/stored == ==>Entering directory /usr/local/src/bacula-1.38.11/src/tools Make of tools is good Any ideas how this can be fixed? -- Russell Sutherland russ AT madhaus . cns . utoronto . ca +1.416.978.0470 [ voice ] +1.416.978.6620 [ fax ] - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

[Bacula-users] Moving volumes to a new
In order to create more space on one of my SD machines, I have created a new
Device entry
in the sd.conf file:
Device {
Name = Tank-device
Media Type = Tank-file
Archive Device = /backup/bacula
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}
Device {
Name = Tank-large-device
Media Type = Tank-large-file
Archive Device = /opt/bacula
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}
I added the new disk partition /opt/bacula as /backup/bacula was getting
full.
To free up space on the old Device area, I wanted to move the job volumes
from the old device to the new device, and just change the "Storage" field
in
the job to the one that accesses the new Device.
Job {
Name = utm-wireless-system
Enabled = yes
JobDefs = DefaultJob
Client = utm-wireless-fd
FileSet = "NS-System"
Storage = Storage-remote-tank-large <--- new larger storage area
Full Backup Pool = utm-wireless-full
Differential Backup Pool = utm-wireless-diff
Incremental Backup Pool = utm-wireless-inc
}
Storage {
Name = Storage-remote-tank
# Do not use "localhost" here
Address = tank.a.b.org # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
Password = "asdasdsd"
Device = Tank-device
Media Type = Tank-file
}
Storage {
Name = Storage-remote-tank-large
# Do not use "localhost" here
Address = tank.a.b.org # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
Password = "asasdasd"
Device = Tank-large-device
Media Type = Tank-large-file
}
My question is, is there a method for moving my current related volume files
over to the the new Storage device (/opt/bacula) seamlessly? They look like:
tank: ls -ltr utm*

[Bacula-users] Catalog backup best practices
I have perused through the Catalog Maintenance section in the documentation: http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Catalog_Maintenance.html looking for some guidance on where to store the Catalog data from the Catalog Job. (This is the data which gets generated by the make_catalog_backup script.) I assume that it's OK to save the data from this job to tape. Given that one does not have tape, is it a good idea to store the data on a remote storage volume? By remote I mean on some other media on some other machine.

And after this fact the /dev/sa0 device was no longer usable and btape was wedged. Any ideas? Either the Dell hardware is very flaky and can not be used in a production service, or I've got some scsi hardware tuning to do.

[Bacula-users] Auto label frustration....
My autolabels just stopped working. For no apparent reason. Here's the
error message:
*messages
01-Feb 12:49 tank-dir JobId 21689: Start Backup JobId 21689,
Job=madhaus-home.2010-02-01_12.49.16_07

01-Feb 12:49 tank-sd JobId 21689: Job madhaus-home.
2010-02-01_12.49.16_07 waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:
Storage: "Tank-large-device" (/opt/bacula)
Pool: Inc-Pool
Media type: Tank-large-file
I believe my configuration is set to allow for auto labeling:
Pool {
Name = Inc-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 20 days
Maximum Volume Jobs = 216 # 6 times number of
total Jobs, One week of Incs
Label Format = Inc-
Maximum Volumes = 7
}
Here's the appropriate section from the SD configuration file:
Device {
Name = Tank-large-device
Media Type = Tank-large-file
Archive Device = /opt/bacula
Random Access = yes
Automatic Mount = yes
Removable Media = no
Always Open = no
Label Media = yes
}
And here's the job definition:
JobDefs {
Name = "DefaultJob"
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = tank-fd
FileSet = "Full Set"
Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
Messages = Standard
Storage = Storage-tank-large
Pool = Default
Write Bootstrap = "/var/db/bacula/%c_%n.bsr"
Priority = 10
Full Backup Pool = Full-Pool
Differential Backup Pool = Diff-Pool
Incremental Backup Pool = Inc-Pool
}
Job {
Name = madhaus-home
Enabled = yes
JobDefs = DefaultJob
Client = madhaus-fd
FileSet = "Home"
}
Here's the Pool Volume info:
