Re: [Bacula-users] Oracle backups using RMAN
Hi ! Yu Safin wrote: One of my departments is using Oracle and via RMAN they backup to Netbackup. How can I accomplish the same using Bacula instead of RMAN? Is anybody backing up Oracle using Bacula? I`m administrating two Oracle 10g Servers and back them up with bacula. One is a development-server - with the ClientRunBeforeJob directive I shutdown the oracle-db (service oradb stop), then backup the whole system (closed-database backup basically) and start the oracle again with the ClientRunAfterJob directive. (This would be without RMAN) Of course this can only be done if you can afford that the database goes down during the backup which is not always the case. This is why we have another Oracle-Server (development-system with live-data) that gets backed up online. I`ve configured a standard oracle-online-backup with the Enterprise Manager (Saturday Fullbackup + Inc Sun-Fri - everything handled by RMAN). This backup goes to a seperate partition on the oracle-server. Now bacula backs-up the system, the oracle itself and the backup-area. I hope that helped you a bit.

[Bacula-users] Auto Creation of Volumes Query
Hi all,
First off I do not use tapes, but volumes created on disk.
Let us assume that this is a new implementation. So no
Volumes exists, now they must be created.
When the schedule executes (arguments sake 5 Jobs)
Then the first Volume gets created as per the
Label Format Value. But any subsequent job the
Director reports that a an Appendable Volume is required.
So... This forces me to create the additional Volumes
Manually, and after the execution update the
Volume Retention Period so that the volume would
be pruned and recycled by the next execution run.
Ie.
MondayDocsPool Client1DocsMonday, Client2DocsMonday, ...
TuesdayDocsPool Client1DocsTuesday, Client2DocsTuesday, ...
WednesdayDocsPool Client1DocsWednesday, Client2DocsWednesday, ...
Client1DocsMonday would be created no problem but for Client2DocsMonday the
director reports that a appendable volume is required.
On this implementation I would have a backup for each client
For every day of the week in a different pool (storage device and so
location).
Pool {
Name = MondayDocs
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 7 days
Volume Use Duration = 1
Maximum Volumes = 1
Accept Any Volume = yes # write on any volume in the pool
Catalog Files = yes
Label Format = ${Job}_
}
Etc, etc.
1. What changes do I need to make to the Pool definition to ensure that if
a new volume is required for a backup that it would automatically be created
?
Your help would be appreciated.
Yours sincerely

You woiuld have to set Maximum Volumes to a reasonable value, and when
you're working on it, also set Volume Use Duration sensibly, too. And
set a maximum number of volumes for the pool to prevent your partition

But the naming i want them to have is dynamic ( Label Format = Test-$Day$Month$Year ), so it'll nag again that i don't have the correct named tape present, and to insert it... :$ There is no mechanism for automatically deleting and relabelling tapes. I suggest just naming all your tapes once, numerically, and using them in rotation. If you need to restore something, Bacula will tell you which tape it needs anyway; the whole point of an automated backup system with a catalog database is that it keeps track of things like this for you. Oh, that explains a lot of my worries :d Is there a way to script this? Like when somebody inserts a tape, and then starts a shellscript that asks for the name, and labels it for him? Secondly, is it better to have 1 big pool of 7 tapes, each with a Test-$Day$Month$Year kind of label?, or per dag 1 tape, with correct label ofcourse? Will bacula automatically unload the current tape if it has a different label, and load the correct one if it's in the same pool? I mean, will it know like ah, tape 2 is currently loaded, but it has a label of Test-12102005, but i need Test-14102005, which is in slot 5, let's load this one instead to do the backup. ? :d Maybe anybody has experience in making it not-really-technical-tape-changer-people-proof? :d Thanks a lot for the help so far :d Kind regards, Bart Verwilst --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

I see the error when Bacula complains about the tape and pull it out, but later when Amanda recycles the tape it cannot read it and reports i/o error. dd if=/dev/nst0 cannot read it either and the only way to recover the tape is to erase it and relabel. Shouldn't Bacula leave the tape untouched when it sees that it does not carry the correct Bacula label? Unless you have setup for Bacula to automatically label tape (or explicitly do a label command), Bacula will not write to a non-Bacula tape. No, I don't have automatic labeling specified and haven't issued any label command. However, depending on what version of Bacula you are running, it will automatically modify your tape drive parameters (variable blocksize, ...) to be compatible with how Bacula uses tapes. If you subsequently try to use the drive and the program is expecting a different mode (fixed blocksize, ...) it will fail. This sounds possible, but a closer investigation proves that it cannot be the case. I have stopped the bacula tests for a couple of days and today a tape showed the same i/o error symptom and only amanda has used the tape drive the last three times it was used, so drive settings should be OK. I get the following using dd on the tape: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ dd if=/dev/nst0 dd: reading `/dev/nst0': Input/output error 0+0 records in 0+0 records out My conclusion is that since I only use bacula and amanda with the tape drive then bacula has indeed caused the failure (it can hardly be dd or mt). My experience with tapes comes from mainframes and there this type of error would occur with a variable blocked tape where the block size or record size was wrongly recorded on the tape. Could that be the case here? Replying to myself! I have now seen that this conclusion is wrong. I haven't been testing Bacula for quite some time and yet the tape error has again shown its ugly face. Perhaps it's a hardware problem? Anyway, I apologise for having accused Bacula for this problem and I shan't bother this mailing list with this tape problem anymore. -- Regards, Erik P.

No, this is not possible.

[Bacula-users] problems with schedules 1.33.6
good day all ...
i'm confused a bit about schedules. i have a basic setup of 1.33.6, i
added another job to the default config. in the console, status
director shows only default jobs:

however, the other job does show up in the console using show jobs:
Job: name=LanceLocal JobType=66 level=Full Priority=10 MaxJobs=1

and its schedule
-- Schedule: name=LanceSched

the schedule i have in the config file is:

}
why doesn't this job show up in the director status?

Can I set bacula to run the after command (or any command), even if backup fails? I don't think so. That would also be a problem if connectivity between the DIR and the FD was lost... In your situation, I'd do things differently. Either, use a backup method which doesn't require tha server to be shut down. That should be possible. You could also shutdown the server, copy the data files to another, local, location, and restart the server. Then back up the copy. That would also reduce service downtime, but it would require additional space. Or you use a process that watches for the backup to take place. In your client run before script, start another script into the background, that could do the following: Wait a while, query the DIR if the backup job still runs, query the FD if the backup job still runs, check a reasonable timeout, if any of the above tests fail, if the job is not finished, send a cancel to the DIR, stop and restart the FD, send a message to the operator, otherwise the job has terminated ok restart your database exit continue This would need some scripting or serious programming, but you could do most checks either through bconsole or start your own programm with the tray monitor as a template.

[Bacula-users] Restoring a Bacula Server
Hi all, I've been using Bacula on our FreeBSD servers for less than half of this year and it has worked quite well. It occurred to me that I should brush up on the Bacula recovery process and in the process of reading I find I am not quite clear as to what I need to do in order to restore a Bacula server. I need to document the restore process as clearly as possible. I'm looking at this section (Here's the link (http://bacula.org/rel-manual/Disast_Recove_Using_Bacula.html#SECTION0003612 000) as follows: If you have a valid saved Bootstrap file as created for your damaged machine with WriteBootstrap, use it to restore the files to the damaged machine, where you have loaded a static Bacula File daemon using the Bacula Rescue disk). This is done by using the restore command and at the yes/mod/no prompt, selecting mod then specifying the path to the bootstrap file. It seems that I am to restore a valid saved bootstrap file for the damaged machine. I am unsure to which machine the bootstrap file is to go. Is it to the damaged server or to the new machine? If I interpret it correctly, the bootstrap file should be restored to the new server. I then need to run the static bacula-fd on the damaged machine to be recovered. The static bacula-fd then will restore data from either an attached tape drive or an external HD on the new server using the catalog on the new bacula server. Once the damaged machine has restored its files, it can be rebooted and then be its old self (assuming the necessary files have been properly backed up and restored). Am I on the right track as far as restoring a Bacula server is concerned? In the above particular case, the bootstrap file is the BackupCatalog.bsr? Not the bootstrap file for the client (i.e. Aries.bsr)? ~Doug --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
