[Bacula-users] Loose ends upgrading to 15.0.2?

2024-03-27 Thread K. M. Peterson
Hi all, Decided it's time to go to Bacula 15 from Bacula 11. I'm trying to figure out a few hanging issues... 1. For starters, using the CentOS RPMs, Bacula daemons upgraded and any database fixes appear to have worked... thanks! 2. I think I missed something around whether Baculum is

[Bacula-users] SD Hang - Only when using "cloud upload" command

2024-03-06 Thread K. M. Peterson
Hi all, I've been using the S3 driver for some time now, and working around various idiosyncrasies - the most lasting one being where occasionally due to something being shut down there are backup parts in the cache that haven't been uploaded for some reason. I started using a job that ran at

So, jumping into this a bit late, but... About six years ago, I had a NetApp that I needed to back up using Bacula. I spent about a week scripting a solution using the hidden shell on the device. Solution used the NetApp 'dump' command piped out to Bacula using rsh (tried ssh, but the

2013-05-05 Thread K. M. Peterson
I am, but not in a way that makes much difference to you. I have a script that moves backup disk volumes in a particular directory that are older than a certain number of days to Glacier; the volumes in that directory get populated by migration jobs from the primary pool. I'm skeptical about

Depending on your needs and general level of DIY, you could look at the scripts that we use for a daily report: basically parsing log entries in /var/log/bacula.log and /var/log/messages and generating an HTML-formatted version and emailing it. It's here:

Re: [Bacula-users] save DB's online

2013-01-18 Thread K. M. Peterson
What do you mean by online? In some environments, this is a synonym for hot, so I interpret your question as whether Bacula has any particular specialized interface into any of these db engines that allows it to copy data in a consistent state. The answer is no. What I think most of are doing

Re: [Bacula-users] SQL query to find media without jobs or with zero file bytes?

2012-12-24 Thread K. M. Peterson
Hi Mark, I have two jobs that I run periodically. query_errvols.sql generates a list of volumes that were written by failed jobs. If a job failed, or was cancelled, it gets returned by this program. query_orphan_volumes.sql does the same for volumes that are in the Media table with no

Hi everyone, I have some strategy questions. We've been using Bacula for about 18 months; backing up ~3.5TB/week to DLT-S4 (Quantum SuperLoader). We are still on 2.2.8, but will be upgrading to 3.x this fall. Thanks to everyone on this list, and the Bacula team for an excellent product. We

2009-05-13 Thread K. M. Peterson
Dave, A really interesting question this is. I can't answer it. But, I would ask you this: if the spooling time elapsed is near to the despool time, then why spool at all? Our setup was set up originally with all jobs spooled (and we have the same Quantum Superloader/Drive that you do); I

We also have a Quantum SuperLoader 3 (with DLT-S4; I've written about some of my questions on this list) and I've also used these systems in the past. Although it's new enough that I haven't really gotten into Bacula labeling, I can tell you that the hardware/firmware apparently doesn't have an

Hi all, New installation of Bacula, and I'm a new user; I apologize if there's something that I overlooked. Bacula is installed in testing mode on Open SUSE 10.2. Version is 2.2.8. The device is a Quantum SuperLoader3 with one DLT-S4 tape drive. I ran btape - test and it worked fine, and I
