Hi,
I want to backup this kind of directories :

and subdirectories.
I've run a find to list all dir of the home directory and test the
following regexp on it with success :
/home/.*/web/public_html (with quote in the configuration file).
When I run the backup, the job crashes :
My SSH tunnel is stopped and when I run another backup, it tells me that
the last volume do not have the correct number of byte (can't remember the
exact message).
If I comment the regexdir, it works normally.
here is the fileSet :

Include {
Options {

}
File = /etc
File = /home/special/master
File = /usr/src/makeHttpd
File = /root
File = /backup/databases/lastbackup
}
}
Any idea of how I can see what's going wrong?
Thx,

Re: [Bacula-users] Windows restore: Can not browse or restore files
Foo wrote: The file selection subsection is a little bit broken, my experience with this is that you need to know the exact syntax in both config and while selecting files. For example, I notice you have a capital C: while in my backups I have a lower case c:, maybe try using it without a slash change the capital to lower case (both while selecting and in your fileset for backup). I looked my configuration over again to check for uppercase C etc. It turns out that things work so much better when I only use one '/' to separate directories in the paths :) For some reason I had C://blabla - I think I started out with backslashes, and when that did not work I escaped them with another one, and when that did not work I substituted with forward slashes. Now I have substituted '//' with '/' and it works :) If all else fails and you need to get data back from already made backups you could try using the 'all' keyword to restore everything without selection (and then restore it to somewhere else so you don't overwrite stuff you don't want to), or use one of the bscan/bextract utils. There is nothing in the old backups that I need - I have deleted the volume and started over.

Re: [Bacula-users] Restoring from volumes on multiple storages

The solution is to either pick the jobs manually, and start a restore for the set from one storage device first, then run a restore from the second storage devices volumes. Or, alternatively, you can take the bootstrap file you already have, split it in two in this location: FileIndex=320-321 FileIndex=540 Count=7 split here Volume=backup-0145 MediaType=File Device=Disk 1.0 VolSessionId=70 and run two separate restore jobs with the resulting bootstrap files. Thanks for your reply. I would have thought that the bacula director should be able to do this splitting up of the jobs to the separate storage daemons by itself. After all, it has already figured out where the volumes are. Whilst I was entering the commands into bconsole, it said this: Bootstrap records written to /var/lib/bacula/testingserv.examples.co.uk-di.restore.9.bsr The job will require the following Volume(s) Storage(s)SD Device(s) === backup-0031 BPL2Disk 1BPL2Disk 1.0 backup-0013 BPL2Disk 1BPL2Disk 1.0 backup-0297 BPL2Disk 1BPL2Disk 1.0 backup-0145 Disk 1Disk 1.0 809 files selected to be restored. You can see that it knows all the information that is needed. What needs to happen to get this 'fixed' so that it requires no fiddly manual intervention and just does what I told it to do (and what it knows it should do)? It seems to me that the director just needs to feed separate .bsr files to the separate storages that it needs the data from. Can this happen easily? Has anybody come across this, or thought about this before? It seems to me that this must be a reasonably common occurence. -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

Re: [Bacula-users] Could not stat ... ERR=The system cannot find the path specified.^M
I read my mail and i say myself that i have to give you more details
In fact I have a ClientRunBefore and ClientRunAfter for my job. The
ClientRunBefore creates the directory BACKUP on the datastore (J:/ virtual disk
on the client ), it's a directory for dump of a database of my client
(bacula-fd). Then I have to save this dump on my freeBSD (bacula-fd, bacula-sd)
so my FreeBSD have to contact the dataStore via my client, that is why I put in
the ressource FileSet, the directive File = « J:/BACKUP »
ClientAfterJob removes the directory BACKUP on the datastore.
DataStore--
Client Windows--
- FreeBSD
Just disks |
bacula-fd

bacula-dir, bacula-sd

Of the database
But i have this error
25-Feb 18:00 xxx: Could not stat J:/BACKUP: ERR=The system cannot find the

dataStore (where there is no DIR, SD daemon and impossible to install also a FD
daemon, just disks). My client is a Windows server 2003 (bacula-fd) , my
bacula-dir/sd is on a freeBSD, and I want to backup my client in another place

As we'll be adding a 2nd tape library / changer to an existing bacula installation next week I'd be very interested in some comments from the list gurus. Hello, In the Job resource, I had a pool for Fulls, a pool for Incrementals, and a Storage. After leaving it for a couple of weeks, I changed the Job so that it was now using a different Storage. So, it did a single Full backup and several Incrementals to the first Storage, then some more Incrementals on the second Storage. When I run the restore, the bacula director knows perfectly well what Storages the volumes are on, but it creates a single .bsr file and only sends it to the first Storage. The first Storage can't find one of the volumes that has been told about, and the director hangs around waiting for a 'mount request' until the Job times out. I've now looked at the bacula code a bit, and what I think it does is this (bear in mind that I'm not one of the proper bacula development guys, so I might be talking utter rubbish here): When you tell it to restore something, it creates a single .bsr file. Though the director knows the Storage that has each volume, the .bsr file does not contain that information. The director then takes that .bsr file and sends a run job= command back through the bconsole interface, like this (with the %s bits filled in - src/dird/ua_restore.c): run job=\%s\ client=\%s\ restoreclient=\%s\ storage=\%s\ bootstrap=\%s\ files=%u catalog=\%s\ As you can see, the Storage is set outside of the bootstrap file, and I think you can only specify one of them. So, that single Storage gets told to restore from all of the volumes, even if the director knows that some of the volumes shouldn't be there. I suppose that it's possible that if there was a volume in that place with the correct label, it would happily restore from it and give you odd files. One kludgy solution that I may have a go at trying is to make the director write out a separate .bsr file containing the correct set of volumes that it needs for each Storage, and then doing multiple run job= commands. This will set off multiple restores and you'd end up with multiple confirmation messages. It might all go horribly wrong if you're using plugins, mind. -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
[Bacula-users] Catalog Cleanup (Remove Pool)
Hi all, Because my Bacula setup keeps evolving over time, so does the specifics of the database. Currently I have 2 pools with volumes and jobs that I want to get rid of. I tried purging and then deleting them (it would be nice if BAT allowed the selection of multiple volumes and it would stop jumping back to the console) but when I look at the bacula DB, it seems like a number of jobs are still present in the database. I've searched for a tool to check integrity or something that would allow me to specify a pool to delete and then clean up any reference in the database to this pool. I've looked to see if the DB schema was documented somewhere (I've found a lot of references but starting a blind delete is probably not a good idea) but so far I've yet to find something.

The networked drive you create on windows only exists for the current user or even the current session of that user. Since bacula runs as a service, it will not see the remote drive. You have 3 options here: 1. Mount the remote FS on the backup server and unmount afterwards 2.

Run 'net use //yourserver/share J:' or similar to mount the drive using the system account on windows before backupping (use the RunBeforeJobOnClient - or similar - command). Option 2 is the best solution in my opinion as I found remote mounting scripts to be error prone at best. Also, SMB/CIFS is slow as hell - making me guess that a direct FD - SD transport would outperform a backup by a factor 2 at least (if I look at my own network).

[Bacula-users] storage directories based on job names
I have bacula configured to use an attached storage array mounted as /bk_vol_1. I've ran some tests and I have bacula dynamically naming the volumes based on the full, unique, job names using the internal bacula variables. The question I have is can I make the storage director create a new directory for each job name? Example of current file location would be: /bk_vol_1/Inc-ldh0500.p1.2009-02-26_10.07.42.03 Example of the file location I would like to have: /bk_vol_1/ldh0500.p1/Inc-ldh0500.p1.2009-02-26_10.07.42.03 Any insight is appreciated. -WJ -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

Re: [Bacula-users] regexdir stops bacula backup...
On Thu, 26 Feb 2009 10:00:26 +0100, Thomas Manson said:
Nobody has an idea?
Bacula uses the File lines as the roots when it looks for files and none of
yours are going to find files in /home/user1 etc. Also, you can't do what you
want directly with a single Options clause -- you need to exclude everything
that doesn't match the regex and include all of the directories above
/home/user1/web.
Crashing is unexpected though. What does the Bacula log say? Can you repeat
it on a local machine without the ssh tunnel?

Hi,
I want to backup this kind of directories :
/home/user1/web/public_html
/home/user2/web/public_html
/home/user3/web/public_html
/home/user4/web/public_html
and subdirectories.
I've run a find to list all dir of the home directory and test the
following regexp on it with success :
/home/.*/web/public_html (with quote in the configuration file).
When I run the backup, the job crashes :
My SSH tunnel is stopped and when I run another backup, it tells me that
the last volume do not have the correct number of byte (can't remember the
exact message).
If I comment the regexdir, it works normally.
here is the fileSet :
FileSet {
Name = computer.domain.com.FileSet
Include {
Options {
signature = SHA1
compression = GZIP
#regexdir= /home/.*/web/public_html
}
File = /etc
File = /home/special/master
File = /usr/src/makeHttpd
File = /root
File = /backup/databases/lastbackup
}
}
Any idea of how I can see what's going wrong?
Thx,
Thomas.

[Bacula-users] re-syncing volumes and catalog
hi! i am looking for a script that would re-sync my volumes and the catalog as it is stored in the database (postgresql 8.1 in my case). The volumes are full, so i try to get rid of some bloated, unnecessary backups. after some manual probing and fiddling with the database, and some auto-pruning (only the jobs, with the files still there even though i thought they should get pruned just the same, as i configured it to do that) i now have a catalog out of sync with the volumes, which are still full. New backups fail with a full error. so i want to get rid of all data on the volumes that is not referneced in the catalog anymore. furthermore i want to be able to get rid of entries in the catalog where the files are not presents in the volumes anymore. i do backups to disk-storage, so the script could do a find and then go over the database and try to sync that with the files present, and then remove the orphaned files. i am not yet familiar with the layout of the database but i dont imagine it would be so complicated to do. i imagine i have to watch out for references to files in the catalog when removing orphans. where would those be found and what should i do about it? /andreas -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
