[Bacula-users] clarification on purging and File volume retention
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 i'm not using tapes, i just have my volumes stored in a directory. it's my intention to take a full backup every month on the first, with incrementals and differentials during the month like in the default configuration. with a volume use duration of 23 hours, a new volume will get created every day. so, it seemed reasonable to me to have the volume retention set to 40 days. with AutoPrune and Recycle both set to yes, this seemed like a maximum of 40 volumes would be created and used, thus limiting the amount of disk space the backups would use. but then i started reading the other settings for the Pool resource, and confusion ensued. in there, it indicates the minimum volume retention should be twice the interval of my full backups, i.e. two months. anyone care to explain that? it seems to me with a 40 day limit, at least 2 full backups will always exist. secondly, it goes on to say that i should be using `Action On Purge = Truncate` along with a RunScript in my CatalogBackup Job to run `purge volume action=all allpools storage=File`. when i went to read up on the `purge volume` command, it seems to me that the command should really be `purge volume action=*truncate* allpools storage=File`. finally, i then went on to read about the "Recycle Oldest Volume" directive which sounds reasonable, but i'm confused as to what is really happening without this directive set to yes. is all of this really necessary? thanks here's my Pool resource currently, Pool { Name = File Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 40 days Maximum Volume Bytes = 100G Maximum Volumes = 100 LabelFormat = "Vol" Volume Use Duration = 23h } -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- iEYEAREIAAYFAk44kh4ACgkQXhfCJNu98qD7BgCcDJuO8TfpSPXz1IasbYWesDZL VZIAoNu0JbiW+/R9Fu2xjTeROd9OTrzZ =AP63 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.

[Bacula-users] Restore error with 10 GbE server and 1 GbE client
Hello, is there anybody else, who has experienced similar restore problem as me? If I use bacula server --(10 GbE)--> switch --(1 GbE)--> bacula client, big restores with many small files (for example, 10 million files in 500 GB) end after a while with the following error (small restores under 10 thousand files are always good): ... 02-Aug 13:12 backup-sd JobId 62258: Error: bsock.c:393 Write error sending 130568 bytes to client:IP:36643: ERR=Invalid argument 02-Aug 13:12 backup-sd JobId 62258: Fatal error: read.c:137 Error sending to File daemon. ERR=Invalid argument 02-Aug 13:12 backup-sd JobId 62258: Error: bsock.c:339 Socket has errors=1 on call to client:IP:36643 ... If I change bacula server connection from 10 GbE to just 1 GbE, all restores go well. I think that it is related to data bursting, 10 GbE -> 1 GbE overload and network buffers in operating system and in switch, TCP error reporting and supposed bigger sensitivity of bacula to network errors.

[Bacula-users] Bacula Conference
Hello, Last year the Bacula "Developers" conference was a big success, so much so that we are holding it again, but now it is known as the Bacula Conference because we think everyone should be invited. I'm pleased to announce take place on Wednesday September 21st 2011 in Cologne Germany. So, please mark your calendars, and please do sign up for it, which you can do by going to the following link: www.bacula-konferenz.de If you would like to submit a paper, there is still one slot free. Obviously I'll be there too and will discuss the Bacula roadmap as I see it -- however, due to some nice unexpected user code submissions, the roadmap does not always work out as I expect :-) . I am looking forward to being there and to meeting you there too. Best regards, Kern -- BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.

[Bacula-users] Files, jobs and volumes retention
Dear all, I need a more clear explanation on bacula retentions. Here's an example of what I would like to define on my director Pool { Name = Full Pool Type = Backup Volume Retention = 2 weeks } JobDefs { Job Retention = 4 weeks File Retention = 6 months } and so on Assuming that I scheduled an incremental job every day and at the end of the month (eg. last Saturday), I scheduled a full backup of my client. What about my previous full backup if I defined the job retention to 4 weeks (should be 2 months - 1 day). If the volume retention is applied without taking care of the Job retention, I'll not be able to restore an incremental job without the previous full (that has been deleted by the volume retention). Am I right ? Thanks for your feedback. Davide -- BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers. Connect with experts.

[Bacula-users] Resetting/truncating table File?
Hi all, our Bacula director (Bacula v3) has a corrupt File table. We tried repairing it but to no avail. Backups do exist, but we were wondering if there is a safe way to simply truncate the File table, throwing all legacy information away. I am aware that this would mean a full backup instead of incremental so this is, in part, a theoretical question more than anything else. Still: Is there a way to cleanly wipe the File table? If we decide to wipe it after all, we would obviously read in the current set of backups once again to make sure only incremental backups would be made, not full ones of everything.

[Bacula-users] One SD two subnets
Goodevening, I got a little problem: I have a bacula director on a server with two NIC interfaces, each of one got a different subnet: 172.20.60.0/24 and 172.20.61.0/24 and I could only use a single LTO-4 tape reader. Now, the problem is howto configure storage section in director configuration file, because the differnt client (from the two nets) should receive two different IP to contact SD. Now I have tried this storage config: Storage { Name = TAPECORP Address = 172.20.60.1 SDPort = 9103 Password = "foobar1" Device = TAPE Media Type = LTO-4 Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 } Storage { Name = TAPECUST Address = 172.20.61.1 SDPort = 9103 Password = "foobar2" Device = TAPE Media Type = LTO-4 Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 } 172.20.60.1 and 172.20.61.1 are, respectively, the IPs of BaculaDIR/SD for each net (DIR and SD are located onto the same physical server). Is it the right way to configure it? Thanks in advance for your suggestions, Simone -- BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.

I think you need to add the Desktop and Eigene Dateien directories themselves. I.e. add this to the first options clause like in the manual: WildDir = "C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/*/Desktop" WildDir = "C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/*/Eigene Dateien" __Martin -- BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.

Re: [Bacula-users] removing indexes on File table

A full backup job is made up of a few different steps. In the main, it's "sending the data from FD to SD" followed by "adding all of the metadata to the catalog". If you can work out how long each part takes (maybe look at the timestamp on the volume if it's a file volume), you may be able to better see which is the slow bit. Optimising the database won't help if the time is all spent on sending data. It might help to create a test job with a smaller fileset which takes a short time but gives the same rate so you can test quickly. It sounds like the rate you're getting overall is about 37Mbit/sec. A few things to check. - Disk access -- is there anything preventing the FD from serving the data faster than this. Fragmented filesystem, slow disks, low on memory, ... An incremental or differential is a bit complex, but you say it's a full backup, so it should be able to pull the data reasonably quickly. - Check the CPU load, I/O load, memory usage and network bandwidth during a backup on the FD and SD. - Software compression or encryption -- if you have either on, the FD's cpu might become a bottleneck. Try turning them off as an experiment. - Network bandwidth -- use iperf to test a TCP connection from FD->SD and make sure the network is capable of taking the speed you expect. Is the entire network path 100Mbit/sec full duplex or better? Is it busy? > and in restores (building the corresponding file tree from my postgres > database take more than 10 minutes).

I wouldn't have expected that adding an index would ever slow down a query, but it seems that with MySQL this isn't always the case and it's clear here that the select query is faster with those indexes removed. Bacula does seem to be better optimised for Postgresql. It would be worthwhile to check that your database has been tuned at least away from the bare defaults. In the case of MySQL, you can use this: http://mysqltuner.pl/mysqltuner.pl the key_buffer seems to be one of the most important parameters. There are lots of howtos around for Postgresql too.

Re: [Bacula-users] removing indexes on File table
Thats amazing, because I searched for reasons of bad performance in the last days both for backup (18 hours for a full of 300 GB with 5 million files) and in restores (building the corresponding file tree from my postgres database take more than 10 minutes). One of the first hint I found was to create these indicies you just remove. So I create them, but without any influence corresponding to the performance. Can anyone tell me: Should these indicies (PathID, FilenameID) be advantageous for the database accesses or not? Or is this depending from database package (mysql, postgres)?

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula web download forbidden
Hi James, no problem. Just a question, why you don't try the latest version (5.1.0 alpha) ? This version include new features and is bug less.
