[Bacula-users] Clone a job only on certain circumstance
Hello,
I have a question related to cloning jobs.
I've just re-read my mail before pushing the Send button, and ... a
little long I'm afraid.
I want to write my full backups on two different storages (disk + DLT4).
To achieve this goal, I use the Run attribute of the Job resource,
providing the same job name: that's job cloning.
The job is normally an incremental one, that becomes a full one once a
month thanks to the corresponding schedule.
Only the monthly full backups have to go on the tapes. Not the
incremental ones neither the potential full ones that may occur because
FileSet resource has been modified.
And that's the point: how to avoid these random full backups to go on
the tape, that is, how to prevent the original job (writing to disk) to
clone itself (to write on tape).
I thought about using Run Before Job attribute, to prevent the cloned
job to work returning a non-zero value, but I don't know what to provide
to the run command to let it know to return 0 or non-zero.
The command needs:
- I'm a clone or I'm writing to tapes
- and I'm a full backup
- and current date (because of random full backups)
I can't provide to the command, as long as I know, I'm a clone neither
I'm writing to tapes.
Here are some pieces of the setup:
Job {
Name = server-test
Write Bootstrap = /var/lib/bacula/server-test.bsr
JobDefs = default
FileSet = server-test
Client = server-fd
Run = server-test-etc level=\%l\ since=\%s\ pool=cart-month
storage=dlt-storage
Type = Backup
Storage = file-storage
Messages = standard
Priority = 10
Pool = file-full
}
Schedule {
Name = weekly-cycle
Run = Full Pool=file-full 1st sat at 1:05
Run = Differential Pool=file-diff 2nd-5th sat at 1:05
Run = Incremental Pool=file-inc sun-fri at 1:05
}
JobDefs {
Name = default
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
FileSet = full
Schedule = weekly-cycle
Storage = file-storage
Messages = standard
Priority = 10
Pool = default
}
I've added this to see what I obtain:
RunBeforeJob = /etc/bacula/scripts/cloned-inc-not-on-tape \%c\
\%d\ \%i\ \%e\ \%j\ \%l\ \%n\ \%t\ \%v\
And the command line is something like:
$1=server-fd
$2=
$3=634
$4=Unknown term code
$5=server-test-etc.2006-02-22_11.30.31
$6=Full
$7=Backup
$8=Backup
$9=
From this point, hoping I've been clear enought (not sure), does anyone
has an idea ?
Bye the way, I use Bacula 1.38.3. I'm looking forward for the project
item #2 Implement Migration that moves Jobs from one Pool to
another.
Thank you and keep on improving this great software !

RE: [Bacula-users] DB Vacuuming in Postgres
Just a few quick questions before we start testing. Is this necessary to keep the DB size at a norm? I found it very necessary when using Postgres 7.3.4. It needs a full vacuum every week for me. Vacuum is necessary in all PostgreSQL versions, if you ever do UPDATEs or DELETEs. So as long as you never prune anything, you don't really need it - you *do* need ANALYZE though. But in a real deployment, you will have deletes, so you should definitly run vacuum analyze. Only in ancient versions like = 7.3 do you need vacuum full. In modern versions, a plain vacuum is enough. I'd recommend you run it once/day if you can, or at least once/week. Time - If anyone is currently doing this whats the average time it takes for you database? And how large is your database? The problem is likely to be the File table and its indexes. On a 2.8HGz P4 with ~ 7 million rows in the File table, vacuum takes 30 mins and vacuum full takes 90 mins for me. I've not attempted to optimize this. Wow, that's bad :-) I have a similar machine, with 14 million rows in the File table, and a vacuum takes only 9 minutes (that's for the whole database and not just file, but I assume you have the same - it's by far the one that takes most time). Also,that's vacuum analyze, but I don't think the analyze makes much difference. The things you want to do: increase maintenance_work_mem, and upgrade to a current postgresql version (there has been plenty of work wrt vacuum speed at least up to 8.0). //Magnus --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Me said: [voluseduration ignored] I'm a bit confused about this paragraph in the documentation. http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION000141 Volume Use Duration [...] The use duration is checked and the Used status is set only at the end of a job that writes to the particular volume, which means that even though the use duration may have expired, the catalog entry will not be updated until the next job that uses this volume is run. If I understand this right, I should never see the 'Used' state set by 'Volume Use Duration' in the volume list, because it will only be updated by the next job that uses that tape.

As far as I recall (I've had similar problems once) there is no error reporting in this case.

[Bacula-users] Clone a job only on certain circumstance
Hello,
I have a question related to cloning jobs.
I've just re-read my mail before pushing the Send button, and ... a
little long I'm afraid.
I want to write my full backups on two different storages (disk + DLT4).
To achieve this goal, I use the Run attribute of the Job resource,
providing the same job name: that's job cloning.
The job is normally an incremental one, that becomes a full one once a
month thanks to the corresponding schedule.
Only the monthly full backups have to go on the tapes. Not the
incremental ones neither the potential full ones that may occur because
FileSet resource has been modified.
And that's the point: how to avoid these random full backups to go on
the tape, that is, how to prevent the original job (writing to disk) to
clone itself (to write on tape).
I thought about using Run Before Job attribute, to prevent the cloned
job to work returning a non-zero value, but I don't know what to provide
to the run command to let it know to return 0 or non-zero.
The command needs:
- I'm a clone or I'm writing to tapes
- and I'm a full backup
- and current date (because of random full backups)
I can't provide to the command, as long as I know, I'm a clone neither
I'm writing to tapes.
Here are some pieces of the setup:
Job {
Name = server-test
Write Bootstrap = /var/lib/bacula/server-test.bsr
JobDefs = default
FileSet = server-test
Client = server-fd
Run = server-test-etc level=\%l\ since=\%s\ pool=cart-month
storage=dlt-storage
Type = Backup
Storage = file-storage
Messages = standard
Priority = 10
Pool = file-full
}
Schedule {
Name = weekly-cycle
Run = Full Pool=file-full 1st sat at 1:05
Run = Differential Pool=file-diff 2nd-5th sat at 1:05
Run = Incremental Pool=file-inc sun-fri at 1:05
}
JobDefs {
Name = default
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
FileSet = full
Schedule = weekly-cycle
Storage = file-storage
Messages = standard
Priority = 10
Pool = default
}
I've added this to see what I obtain:
RunBeforeJob = /etc/bacula/scripts/cloned-inc-not-on-tape \%c\
\%d\ \%i\ \%e\ \%j\ \%l\ \%n\ \%t\ \%v\
And the command line is something like:
$1=server-fd
$2=
$3=634
$4=Unknown term code
$5=server-test-etc.2006-02-22_11.30.31
$6=Full
$7=Backup
$8=Backup
$9=
From this point, hoping I've been clear enought (not sure), does anyone
has an idea ?
Bye the way, I use Bacula 1.38.3. I'm looking forward for the project

On Friday 10 February 2006 15:58, Karl Hakimian wrote: I don't think COPY will be useful. I don't think I'm ready to give up on the copy command yet. The amount of data in the filename and path tables is small compared to the file table. If we created a copy command while updating the file and path tables and then dumped the file updates via copy, that should be a significant speed improvement. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/sql-copy.html The data we are adding to the database does not already exist. There's nothing to COPY. We should be able to created it from the spooled attributes. I think transactions are more important here. We need to look more closely at that. I believe transactions would help quite a bit. Seems to me I saw some transaction code in bacula commented out. Does anyone know why it was removed? If you are still interested in this subject, I would make the following comments: - I don't know what the COPY command is, but I doubt it is something Bacula would want to use since I like to keep the code simple and as uniform as possible across systems. - As you noted, there is some transaction code in Bacula. However, it is turned off for the reasons that Martin mentions. - On the other hand, I have come up with an idea that I have discussed with Dan (possibly off-list) for implementing transactions in a slightly different way from before. This would IMO permit a significant improvement in speed inserting the file attributes. If this interests you and you have not seen those emails, please let me know, and I'll see if I can dig them out -- if I don't have them (because I was not using my normal email), I'm sure Dan does.

Something else I forgot to mention; the file daemon also ensures data integrity by signing each file. Currently, only file data is signed -- permissions, ownership, et al are not. AFAIK, during a restore, the storage daemon will provide the stream data in the same order it was written by the file daemon. If that's true, the easiest way to add extra file attributes/streams to the signature is to checksum them as we send them to (and receive them from) the storage daemon. Kern, is it reasonable to assume that the Storage Daemon will always provide per-file stream data in the order it was written by the File Daemon? Yes, it is a strict requirement. If not, I'd guess the alternative is to cache the file attributes on restore and checksum them in the standard order.

[Bacula-users] SD Connect Timeout
Hello, we are trying to baclup some laptops using SD Connect Timeout directive. But as I read at the online documentation FAQ: - There are several things you can do to improve the situation. Upgrade to version 1.32 and use the new SDConnectTimeout record. For example, set: SD Connect Timeout = 5 min in the FileDaemon resource. - How does it work? I mean, if the FileDaemon client is offline, how can the Director know about this timeout? Is this value saved at the director the first time it connects the client? Whats the difference between this directive located at the Director configuration and at the FileSet?

[Bacula-users] Scheduling question
Hello,
Weve
been using Bacula in our company since the beginning of the year with a good
deal of success, but I had a scheduling question that I hadnt
anticipated earlier. As part of our backup rotation, I have 2 additional
pools, Offsite1 and Offsite2 (just 1 tape each for now), that are scheduled to
be written to on alternating Saturdays. How it actually breaks down is:
We have 15 jobs setup that point to
one of two schedules, depending on the retention we need.
The schedule then determines when
and where to put the backup; in the case of the Offsite backups, the Offsite1
pool is used on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays, and the
Offsite2 pool is used on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays.
(The actual schedule is below)
The Question:
But I see that we have a problem
coming up in April; 5 Saturdays. So if I specify either pool for the 5th
Saturday, we loose our rotation. I see that what we actually need to do
is to set these up for every other Saturday regardless of when it
falls during the month. My question is, how do you do that?
Our Schedule:
Schedule {
Name = MonthlyCycle
Run = Level=Full Pool=Offsite1 1st sat at 2:00
Run = Level=Full Pool=Offsite2 2nd sat at 2:00

Re: [Bacula-users] Scheduling question
Hello, On 2/23/2006 8:11 PM, Jeremy Koppel wrote: Hello, We’ve been using Bacula in our company since the beginning of the year with a good deal of success, but I had a scheduling question that I hadn’t anticipated earlier.

How it actually breaks down is: ... * The Question: * But I see that we have a problem coming up in April; 5 Saturdays. So if I specify either pool for the 5^th Saturday, we loose our rotation. I see that what we actually need to do is to set these up for ‘every other Saturday’ regardless of when it falls during the month. My question is, how do you do that? I'd try using the week of year specification in the schedule. You'd simply schedule like run = pool=offsite1 w01,w03,w05,... sat at 2:00 the problems here: I don't know if this actually works :-) and you still have to worry about the odd number of weeks per year. At least only one a year, and simply by swapping the pool definitions in the job overrides of the schedules... The better solution, also absolutely untested, would be to use the python interface and implement a simple script that determines which pool to use. I even assume it's impossible at the moment, because in the manual it states that the Pool attribute of a job object in python is read-only... but that might change one fine day :-) Arno -- IT-Service Lehmann[EMAIL PROTECTED] Arno Lehmann http://www.its-lehmann.de --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Re: [Bacula-users] Restore Error...
You will frequently notice this backing up e-mail volumes, or directories that contain lockfiles. For some unknown reason, the .lock files are stored in /var/mail on our system, and so there are many complaints about files that did not exist at the time of writing, but did exist when the list was being made (this was with Data Protector). As for e-mail files, they are bound to grow during the backup. My solution there was to exclude *.lock (useless files anyway). This is the equivalent to Dan's suggestion here. It's scary to see a Restore error, but in these cases, they are no big deal. _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - User Support Spec.

Not out of the box, though I assume that this might be rather easy to implement. Even I as a non-programmer see that that metadata must be stored somewhere, and it's most probably in some extended attribute or the famous resource forks. Accessing that data should be possible for the FD, and passing it an option from the fileset is definitely already implemented :-) Believe it or not this is a critical issue for one of my clients who are mostly artists and need this visual bell.

Re: [Bacula-users] FreeBSD 6.0 + Bacula 1.38.5 Crashing
Hi, I think I located the problem, but will have to see what happens at the full backups this weekend. It might be a hardware problem (servers are recycled/old). When I went to the box it had a lot of swap_pager: indefinate wait buffer in the console. I swapped the RAID array to a different box. Will update after the weekend to see if the problems disappear. Well it happens with a local MySQL and a remote MySQL. I'm pretty certain is actually not to do with the job at all and is probably a bug in the scheduler somewhere. As for using gdb being slower I doubt very much if you'd notice the difference between gdb and not. As for whether MySQL is faster? I'm not sure what you mean.

Re: [Bacula-users] Console program get hang..........
Are you sure that the director is running on the same host as you try to run bconsole? Check this using: ps ax | grep bacula-dir You can try to telnet to localhost to see if you see anything. It should connect if you type: (linux) telnet localhost 9101 If you type anything, it will disconnect. Ger.
