ok here ist my pool:

Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 325 hours
Accept Any Volume = yes
Recycle Current Volume = yes
Maximum Volumes = 10

and here list media. this evening montag2 will be used(tape is
inserted and volumeretentionperiod is over). but i know the same error
like above WILL occur. if i purge the volume manuell before backup these
evening, then the backup runs without problems. but i wont do this
manuell every day.

Also we have 3 pools for the backup job for daily, weekly and monthly tapes. The best way would be a new command show_next_appendable_tape pool for the console. There's already a function find_next_volume_for_append in the code which is also called by the status dir command. I suppose it should not be too difficult to implement this functionality as a console command for someone who knows the code structure. I think for most sites it's a major issue to know in advance what tapes bacula wants to use next in a particular pool. -- Georg --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Hi Phil, we have 3 different pools: montly (new tapes, archive) , weekly (4 tapes) , daily (4 tapes). For data security reasons the tapes are changed each day. Monthly and weekly tapes are stored off-site. The 3 daily tapes are stored at the same location (but not the same room). So if the tape drive melts down the tape or something happens physically to the server only the last backup is concerned. To enforce the policy I set Maximum Volume Job to 2 (Backup plus catalog) and Accept Any Volume to no. -- Georg --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

[Bacula-users] Bacula-sd CPU eating in system space.
Hello everybody, I would like to tell a random strange behaviour in bacula in bacula-sd. The storage (and director) system is a RedHat AS 4.0 2 Gb RAM and 4.5 Tb raid 5 disks paritioned (ext3) in 1 Tb partitions. Bacula volumes are limited to 45 Gb (compressed by client-fd) so that they can fit on one SSL2020 cartridge. During normal behaviour one volume is filled in 1 hour 40 minutes, and bacula-sd process uses below 5 % of CPU time. Ramdomly it happens that time becomes 3-4 times longer, CPU spent in bacula-sd raise to 80-90% (mostly in system space). Once the current volume is filled up copying continues with normal behavior, maybe to the end of job or maybe it switch again in the bad state. Does anyone have any suggestion about what to look for? Thanks everybody. Ferdinando PasqualettiG.T.Dati srlTel. 055 7310862Fax 055 720143

I cant find any information on the sqlite page about making a
database readonly (or how to turn this feature off).
I have checked the file permissions and they are correct.
I can perform this INSERT from the sqlite command line tool but
not from the bconsole sqlquery option.
Has anyone seen this problem before? Im using the sqlite2 and
the bacula-server from the ports tree.
Thanks,
Anthony

[Bacula-users] Automatically mount the tape for next backup
Hi,
I have installed Bacula 1.36.2 on Debian Sarge dealing with an LTO2 drive.
I have 7 Jobs to run each night and I ant to change the tape after each
full backup that occurs each night.
I use this option in order to mark the tape as Used when the backup is
finished :
Maximum Volume Jobs = 7
But, when I insert a new tape, I have to mount the tape so that the next
backup can run.
Is it possible to have a fully automatic configuration in order to avoid
the need to explicitly mount the tape through bconsole ?
Extract from bacula-sd.conf :
**
Device {
Name = LTO2
Media Type = LTO2
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes;
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
}
**
Thanks in advance,
Sébastien

your solution with the run before job only mount the tape before a job, but a
tape could be full during a job, too. Does your solution work too, if bacula
requests a new tape during a job?

[Bacula-users] Forcing Pools for upgraded jobs
Good morning everyone, Can a backup job which has been upgraded to Full be forced to use a different Pool in the director config? Example situation: 1) A new client is added to the director config in the middle of the month. 2) Full backups occur at the beginning of the month. 3) The new client uses a generic schedule which is defined for similar clients. 4) The next Run in that schedule is defined with Level=Incremental Pool=IncrPool. 5) So the director upgrades the job to Full, but still wants to use the IncrPool because it's specified in the Run directive. What I would like to see (if it is possible) is optional functionality such that when a job is upgraded during a scheduled Run, the Pool for that Run can be overridden as well. The first thing that came to mind when I started thinking about this is that job levels might have to be assigned to pools -- which may not be want some users want. After some further consideration it occurs to me that an optional Upgrade Pool directive could be added to the Schedule resource. Of course, these considerations hinge on whether such functionality is not currently available. Any thoughts?

i dont know. my nightly backup fit on 1 tape.
i assume runbeforejob will be executed only once per job. but thats
highly speculative :)

[Bacula-users] Problems with VSS snapshots
Hi all ,
So i'm testing the VSS enabled bacula, and want to backup an outlook
data file ( .pst). But bacula returns with an error :

Include {
Options { compression=GZIP9; signature=MD5; portable=yes;}
File = d:/Work
File = c:/Documents and Settings/Gytis/Local Settings/Application
Data/Microsoft/Outlook/
}
}
Client is runing Windows XP Pro with sp2. VSS is started.
Any ideas?

Re: [Bacula-users] Show next tape

Hi Phil, we have 3 different pools: montly (new tapes, archive) , weekly (4 tapes) , daily (4 tapes). For data security reasons the tapes are changed each day. Monthly and weekly tapes are stored off-site. The 3 daily tapes are stored at the same location (but not the same room). So if the tape drive melts down the tape or something happens physically to the server only the last backup is concerned. To enforce the policy I set Maximum Volume Job to 2 (Backup plus catalog) and Accept Any Volume to no. Hm. I don't see how having Accept Any Volume disabled would do anything to enforce that policy that could not be better enforced by carefully structuring you Volume Retention and Volume Use Duration settings. For instance, let's assume your daily backups take eight hours to run, and your schedule calls for re-using tapes every eight weeks, then you could set the following in your Pools: Volume Use Duration = 12h Volume Retention = 55d Recycle = yes Recycle Oldest Volume = yes Accept Any Volume = yes This will give you 12 hours to write each tape, then Bacula will not allow that tape to be written again for 55 days, so it will become available for use again approximately 12-16 hours before the next time it's due to be used. Do this for ALL your tapes and keep a catalog of what is scheduled for use when, and you shouldn't have a problem. -- Phil Stracchino [EMAIL PROTECTED] Renaissance Man, Unix generalist, Perl hacker Mobile: 603-216-7037 Landline: 603-886-3518 --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

How can i restore my backups, without database? Linux filesystem is xfs, so i cannot restore deleted directories :( Please help me to get back my backups. Hi again Viktorija. You have two alternatives here. First, if you've been running a job to dump and backup your catalog, you can use bextract to restore the Catalog backup from your most recent backup. Failing that, you can use bscan to reconstruct your Catalog from your backed up volumes. -- Phil Stracchino [EMAIL PROTECTED] Renaissance Man, Unix generalist, Perl hacker Mobile: 603-216-7037 Landline: 603-886-3518 --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Re: [Bacula-users] Forcing Pools for upgraded jobs
Chris Lee wrote:
Good morning everyone,
Can a backup job which has been upgraded to Full be forced to use a
different Pool in the director config?
Example situation:
1) A new client is added to the director config in the middle of the month.
2) Full backups occur at the beginning of the month.
3) The new client uses a generic schedule which is defined for similar
clients.
4) The next Run in that schedule is defined with Level=Incremental
Pool=IncrPool.
5) So the director upgrades the job to Full, but still wants to use the
IncrPool because it's specified in the Run directive.
What I would like to see (if it is possible) is optional functionality such
that when a job is upgraded during a scheduled Run, the Pool for that Run
can be overridden as well.
The first thing that came to mind when I started thinking about this is that
job levels might have to be assigned to pools -- which may not be want some
users want. After some further consideration it occurs to me that an
optional Upgrade Pool directive could be added to the Schedule resource.
Of course, these considerations hinge on whether such functionality is not
currently available.
It's already possible to specify which pool should be used for jobs of
specific levels:
JobDefs {
Name = Backup
Type = Backup
...
Full Backup Pool = Full
Differential Backup Pool = Inc
Incremental Backup Pool = Inc
...
}
Reason says all that SHOULD be required is to make Bacula honor these
directives when it upgrades Job levels. (I seem to recall this issue
has come up before, but I don't recall the resolution.)

[Bacula-users] how to redo a job
Moin, I have run a backup, but one host (= one job) do not run successfull, because I have a network problem. I fixed this network problem now. How can I run the unsuccessfull job now with all configurations (the same pool, the same data). I know the command run but then the job would use the Pool Default and not the pool Weekly ?

Re: [Bacula-users] Re: Bacula Multiple Tape Drives
Amanda changes the access-times on all the files it backups but this collides with out tmpwatch system - the files never expire :-( I hope this behavior is different with bacula. Bacula uses access times to decide what files to backup on Incremental and Differential backups. I'm not sure what the tmpwatch system does or why it conflicts with Amanda. tmpwatch is basically a small program that deletes things out of directories you designate: it cleans up /tmp and other bits here and there. It does so by querying access time of the file; if over a chosen threshold, it deletes the file. If Amanda changes access time on each file it touches, then that threshold would never be reached. He's basically wondering if Bacula changes atime on files it backs up, cause that'll mess up tmpwatch. (and it does) That being said, Kern, I have access time turned off via a mount option on a few of my larger filesystems for specific reasons; I'd assume that won't completely weird Bacula out? (I haven't brought those FS's into the new system yet) Thanks! Mark --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

When I investigated I discovered that Bacula configured itself to have ACL support: no. I compiled it from soure using ports (bacula-1.36.2) The relevant portion of the configure check is as follows. checking sys/acl.h usability... yes checking sys/acl.h presence... yes checking for sys/acl.h... yes checking for acl_get_file in -lacl... no From my research that last test is only really valid on linux. I would really like to know how to get Bacula to backup and restore ACL's on FreeBSD. Is this a known issue that has a simple fix or have I missed something? Thank you for your time. acl_get_file is in libc on FreeBSD. The acl library does exists on freebsd and is why the test fails. Removing the -lacl from the test will cause it to succeed. Here is a replacement patch for / usr/ports/sysutils/bacula-server/files/patch-configure. I haven't tested things completely yet so I am very interested in your results. If it works for both of us, I will submit the patch to the port maintainer and we can see about getting the test fixed in future releases. In case the mailer mangles the patch, you can also get it here: http://freebsd.tamu.edu/bacula/ After poking around some more, there is some linux only calls and headers that get added in when ACLs are enabled. I fixed those up and things will compile but being that is a lot of changes, I decided to check what changes went into 1.37.30. Things are much better in 1.37.30 and I would suggest looking at it for ACL support. I also think testing the beta is probably best since any bugs found might be fixed before it becomes stable. One thing that still needs fixing is the configure check for ACLs. Its the same as in 1.36.3.
