Re: [Bacula-users] Backup of in one directory with 800.000 files
This might be a totally off-the-wall idea, might not even work - or if it does, it may not help in the end. But how about doing your own subdirectorying. Leave all 800,000 files in the directory where they are - and create your own parallel directory structure with subdirectories as you like. For instance, one per day. Then write a script that creates links (maybe soft links will work, else use hard links) from the original files into your subdirectories. You will probably need to run this script daily. If you use hard links, you may be able to use the reference count for the file to find out which files have already been linked into your directory, so you can create new links only for those files with a reference count of 1. That way, the fax application will continue seeing the faxes where you expect them, and at the same time you have the files organized in a backup-friendly structure. Now instead of backing up the single huge directory, back up the directory structure you created yourself. Whether this will work, I don't know; I'm just trying to be creative. Maybe running this script and creating all the links will take 48 hours... Tobias Bartel wrote: Hello, i am tasked to set up daily full backups of our entire fax communication and they are all stored in one single director ;). There are about 800.000 files in that directory what makes accessing that directory extremely slow. The target device is a LTO3 tape drive with an 8 slots changer. With my current configuration Bacula needs ~48h to make a complete backup which kinda conflicts with the requirement of doing dailys. Does anybody have any suggestions on how i could speed things up? THX in advance - Tobi PS: I already talked to my boss and our developers and they will change the system so the faxes get stored in subdirectories. But changing that doesn't have a very high priority and got scheduled for next summer. - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users -- Kevin Keane Owner The NetTech Turn your NetWORRY into a NetWORK!

It's about 70GB of data, stored on a Raid5 (3Ware controller). The database is a SQLite one, on the same machine but on a Software Raid 1. You obviously have a very performance-sensitive situation, and writing to a software raid can seriously affect performance. Any chance you can move the database to a hardware RAID? For that matter, ideally I would recommend completely eliminating the software raid from that machine if you can, or at least only put read-only data on it, such as the /usr directory. -- Kevin Keane Owner The NetTech Turn your NetWORRY into a NetWORK!

Re: [Bacula-users] Improving catalog performance
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Kelly, Brian wrote: Arno, I've been studying different options for improving my database performance. After reading your recommendations on improving catalog performance. There are two rather simple solutions: - Don't keep file information for this job in the catalog. This makes restoring single mails difficult. - Tune your catalog database for faster inserts. That can mean moving it to a faster machine, assigning more memory for it, or dropping some indexes (during inserts). If you're not yet using batch inserts, try to recompile Bacula with batch-inserts enabled. Could you elaborate on how to: 1. Not keep file information for particular jobs in the catalog. 2. How does one drop an index during inserts? Make certain you've done all the optimizations you can before undertaking something more severe like this, however. I know my copy of MySQL was set to use very little system memory and I believe only a single thread, even though the machine it was running on was 3 CPU with 4GB system RAM. my-huge.cnf is a good place to start, if this machine is allowed to use a lot of resources for the DB. There are also scripts that can give you some basic advice about how to tune your DB. I was able to make plenty of gains through this avenue, as well as having the proper indexes to begin with. - -- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer II |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJMDowmb+gadEcsb4RAlBoAJ9ovtk59+aQ7OzdWH7cemGVOSbDWQCeN2DV 7WmaaBhPETbhG5TGO3Buxoc= =QmNf -END PGP SIGNATURE- begin:vcard fn:Ryan Novosielski n:Novosielski;Ryan org:UMDNJ;IST/AST adr;dom:MSB C630;;185 South Orange Avenue;Newark;NJ;07103 email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Systems Programmer II tel;work:(973) 972-0922 tel;fax:(973) 972-7412 tel;pager:(866) 20-UMDNJ x-mozilla-html:FALSE version:2.1 end:vcard - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

However: I also think that that catalog backup has actually been corrupted, because I think the SD would write the data from block 4963 at the beginning of the new tape, which means if I restored that particular backup, I would find a block of data repeated. I would expect it to be OK, as long as the catalog says that block 4963 is on the second tape. Thank for the reply; I am still not sure this is OK, though. Since my original post, I have done a bit of research, and it looks like some drives actually behave this way. [ The block numbers refer to the physical position on the tape, BTW, rather than being a sequence count within the backup data stream, so the first block on the next tape will be block 0. I cannot use that to determine whether the data has been written twice. ] Apparently, some drives will write until they run out of tape, then they fail the write and return EOM. However, some drives will detect *impending* end of tape, and start giving you EOM a little bit before the physical end of the tape, but they will still successfully write data. Have you tried the btape fill test? That should check Bacula's logic for this case. I admit I cannot now remember if I exhaustively tested this drive; I was concentrating mainly on the DLT I use for the main backups. I'll dig out a couple of blank tapes and test it though. I will also get that catalog backup off the tape, and have a close look at the SQL file I get back, in case there is a duplicated block of data. I may move over to the devel list, actually, depending on how the tests work out, just in case there is a (silent) problem with some drives. If there is, however, the SD can easily detect the behaviour of the drive, because it gets the block number back when it re-reads the last block on the tape.

Re: [Bacula-users] DVD backup problems gone!
Sorry, I can't help you. But in general, you're better off seeking help here first before you file a bug report. see http://www.bacula.org/en/?page=support cheers Cheers. That page was about different kind ofsupport for Bacula. 1. Professional Support. I don't want Professional, paid support. I use this at home, have used for years without problems, with Tape. But now my streamer died and I converted to DVD+RW. 2. Reading Bacula Users and Bacula bugs. I already do that. Have done for years. 3. About not sending messages to Kern. Ok. Trying to stay on Users and Bugs. I have tried to be clear and concise in my bug reports. It is easy to comment a bug report if it is not reasonable. I have a feeling that some people are using Bacula with DVD+RW with success. I have had comments that Here, same problem and Here, all good with 2.0.2 There is no such version as 2.0.2 downloadable. That is why I'm writing here? What version works with DVD? Some do, some dont. I kind of feel betrayed when I have used Bacula for years with my tapes, and now I'm offered http://www.bacula.org/en/?page=support Cheers and thanks. - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

That page was about different kind ofsupport for Bacula. Yes. This mailing list is one form of support. I have tried to be clear and concise in my bug reports. It is easy to comment a bug report if it is not reasonable. Bug reports give work to developers. That's who reads the bug reports. By asking the users mailing list first, you allow other users to contribute to the project and at the same time lessen the workload for developers. I kind of feel betrayed when I have used Bacula for years with my tapes, and now I'm offered http://www.bacula.org/en/?page=support You aren't being asked to do anything new or being singled out. The main point was: please post here and seek help *before* filing a bug report. http://www.bacula.org/en/?page=bugs is also quite clear on this point. regards. :) - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

The main point was: please post here and seek help *before* filing a bug report. http://www.bacula.org/en/?page=bugs is also quite clear on this point. regards. :) And that is all I have done. I started this with writing to users. All help I got was Yes I have the same problem. Then I downloaded the source and debugged. Tried and tried to understand what the code does. Could not do it with my 20 years of C/C++ work history. THEN I filed a bug report. As we speak, I'm doing backups with a slightly modified 2.2.28 version, and hope to get something out of it.But it's not easy.

A period of 24 hours isn't best practice. As we speak, I'm doing backups with a slightly modified 2.2.28 version, and hope to get something out of it.But it's not easy. Great. It'll be great to see the patches in the bug report. But as it stands now, the bug report is premature. Please, I'm trying to *help* you *help* us *help* you. :) thanks. - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
