Or, if you know of someone who might have some ideas please ask them to review the posts. Ideas... you're welcome. By the way, for windows I use BartPE for rescue purposes, for linux I prefer doing a minimal system install from the distribution media (which allows me to change the disk /filesystem layout using a GUI, which is needed from time to time, and once the machine is down you can as well do some maintenance work :-) , add bacula-fd + configuration to it and recover from there. A completely static FD seems to be somewhat difficult, so in case of problems I even install gcc/g++, the necessary development packages, and compile Bacula - I found this to be more flexible than fighting with a pre-compiled binary and its requirements. Usually, though, the pre-compiled FD works without problems. I never actually tried to prepare a universal linux Bacula rescue CD because I found it much too complicated handling all necessary ATA/SATA/Chipset modules, filesystem types, LVM1 / LVM2 issues, network setups (rather the simplest part, though) combinations I encounter.

I recompiled the fd from /root/bacula-1.38.11/ with: ./configure --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --enable-static-fd -- enable-client-only make all created an image that used the bacula-fd.conf from the bacula-1.38.11/src folder, instead of the one from /etc/bacula.

You could try a run before job where you pass the job name to it. From that run before job script, call bconsole with a command like 'estimate job=$1' and parse the output (and yes, if the estimate triggers the run before job script this will badly recurse, but I don't think so :-) The reason I ask this question is that I am trying to backup data from laptops and there is only a limited number of hours in the day. Hmm. I'd do it differently: Set up a laptob-job, allowing only a certain number of simultaneous jobs of this type. Use reasonable retry counts and rerun attempts, and let the job run only at level incremental. In a run before job command check if the machine is available so the jobs don't block too long. Finally, I'd ceate a small script which reports which machines were not saved at all for some time, or have no full backup for a while, and then I'd ask these people and their notebooks to pay me a visit. Plugging a cable to the notebook and manually running a full backup should be rather simple and fast, then. Depending on the number of notebooks you have and your timing you could run the full backups overnight and not bothering your notebook-carriers at all with their backups :-) Hope this helps a bit, Arno Thanks for the great software Stephen Carr - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Or, if you know of someone who might have some ideas please ask them to review the posts. This is just to let you know that I *have* been following all your posts as well as those of everyone else, and in my case, it is not that I am shy, but that at the moment I am totally overloaded trying to finish off the current Bacula release. Concerning the rescue disk, here are a number of points: 1. Most if not all of the discussion on what I have been doing (a lot) has been on the bacula-devel list. 2. I am totally convinced that Bacula needs a good rescue CD on the ideas of the current rescue CD, but the current implementation is essentially dead (see below). 2. In my opinion, the old rescue code that you are using worked only moderately well on Fedora systems up to and including FC4. In FC5 and in most other Linux distros, it is simply broken. It was at this point that I realized that writing a general rescue CD for Bacula is a full time project for one person, and is not my preferred activity (I prefer adding features to Bacula and improving the code). 3. The problem is that booting an OS and getting all the RAID/LVM, and 20 other two and three letter thingies working is first difficult (which I can handle), but above all significantly different on each distro (which I cannot handle). 4. I've come up with a short term strategy, which I have implemented (almost) and a longer term strategy (actually two different strategies). Short term strategy (95% implemented): 1. Used mkcdrec (3rd party open source package) as the basis of the booting and hook into its code to get the Bacula stuff on the CD. The advantage is that mkcdrec shares most of my ideas (i.e. build a rescue cd using *your* kernel and data from *your* system). The author of mkcdrec has been very kind and has integrated all the changes I have sent him that make it easy for Bacula to insert its own stuff (bacula-fd, bacula-fd.conf, ...) onto the CD. This code is as I say 95% complete (it boots and the Bacula stuff is there) -- there are still lots of little details to clean up, and NO documentation as of the current time. The big advantage is that it is likely to boot on many more systems than just the ones I have. If anyone is willing to test this code (I think you are likely to get much farther than with the old 1.8.x rescue), please let me know, and I'll create a first cut documentation and tell you how to get the code. It would be a *big* help to have testers, but I have to specify that my priority is getting Bacula 1.39.x stabilized and released ... Longer term stragegy (designed in my head 5-10% implemented): 1. Longer term, mkcdrec is going away because the author has a new much more flexible project (released to Source Forge) called rear (Relax and Recover). 2. I haven't yet had the time to look at rear in detail to see if it is far enough along to be used by Bacula -- the authors kindly let me provide them with input at the design phase, so they are aware of what Bacula needs. So this is a possibility. 3. It seems to me that there are two possibly better solutions to the problem: a. Most distros now have rather serious rescue modes of booting their installation disks (by serious, I mean they do a very good job of getting any configuration booted, and they have a lot of tools). SuSE even has tools that will check and repare a whole filesystem (beyond just fsck). The problem is that these rescue disks do not have Bacula. b. Most distros have good scripts to create a initrd and an iso boot image. 4. I believe that it would be quite possible, and not too complicated to (referring to a and b above): a. Remaster a distro's rescue disk and add Bacula specific data (i.e. bacula-fd, bacula-fd.conf, some scripts ... I am leaning towards implementing this. b. Making a collection of scripts for each distro, and modify them slightly to add the hooks for Bacula to insert its data when running those scripts (much like I did for mkcdrec). c. It would be nice to convince the distros to include those hooks in their distributed scripts -- this would make it much easier to support future versions. Bottom line: - Short term, I need another couple of days of work to complete the integration of Bacula with mkcdrec, which should provide us with a viable short term solution. Any persons interested in testing please let me know copying only the bacula-devel

APPARENT BUG: What is interesting is that it is complaining about
wanting a new volume exactly 24 hours *AFTER* it last tried to run,
and didn't find a new volume. (You can see that a we're a few days
ahead of 30 days, so I'm having to manually purge the volumes each
day until we catch up)
HOWEVER: I didn't purge the volume and release it for writing until
11pm last night.
ANALYSIS: So.. the volume's usage period is being determined not by
when it was first written to, but instead by the start time of the
first job that wrote to it.
Is this behavior known? Is it fixed in current? Obviously it's not
a crucial flaw, but if its decided not to fix it then it should be
documented.
All pruning is based on the termination time of the Job concerned not the
start time of the job.
The manual was not very explicit on this, so I have made it so. Note, in a
few exceptional cases (Bacula crashes between the time the job starts and the
job terminates), the End time of the job will be set to the start time of
the Job. Any job that is correctly terminated by Bacula (normal, warning,
error, fail, ...) will have the End time set correctly.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula-dir and remote Postgres
To workaround the problem, I had to move the Director on the DB machine too.So now, the SD is still on Sun280R, all FD are around unchanged, and Director runs on the Solaris Intel together with Postgres, with a modified dir.conf to connect to the SD on the network.Maybe some bug with postgres when not on localhost?

[Bacula-users] Problem with cancel a job
Hello, our administrator is currently in holiday and I have a problem with our backup system : bacula. We use a powerVault 110T on a EMC² server with Dedian. Friday, the backup was too large for our storage support. So I have try to kill the job in the bacula console with cancel command and the job number. But it didn't work. So I have restart the daemon with the command /etc/init.d/bacula-director restart. (I try also stop and start). But when I display the status in the console, I have this : Connecting to Director server02:9101 1000 OK: server02-dir Version: 1.38.11 (28 June 2006) status Using default Catalog name=MyCatalog DB=bacula Status available for: 1: Director 2: Storage 3: Client 4: All Select daemon type for status (1-4): 4 server02-dir Version: 1.38.11 (28 June 2006) i386-pc-linux-gnu debian 3.1 Daemon started 12-sep-06 12:31, 0 Jobs run since started.

I that others jobs which are automatically launch each day, but since Monday morning, no job want to start. How to cancel this job ? I hope this problem as is place on this mailing list. thanks in advance. You might want to try stopping and starting your storage daemon.

[Bacula-users] Autoloaders
Hi, Im going to ask a really dumb question now, so please bear with me. We just bought a Dell Power Vault 124 with a LTO 3 now the problem is that I dont know what device the autoloader is specified in /dev. I have a nst0, nst0a, nst0l, nst0m as well as st0, st0a, st0l and st0m. At least I know what the difference between nst0 and st0 is but I dont know which one of the rest is the autoloader ??? The best thing is I just got to grips with Bacula and the AIT and now I have to do everything over again but this time on RHEL 4 and the Dell Autoloader, at least Bacula is easy but the hardware through a curve ball.

Re: [Bacula-users] Autoloaders
First you need to be sure that you have the PV-124T correctly connected. I bought my PV-124T with a adaptec board scsi with it. First be sure that the board is recognized by linux.

Also, if it's stating: Archive DATACENTER-TAPE1 is not open or does not exist. Hi Keith, If you do a 'list volumes' and then look for that tape it should find it. Hopefully if it's not in the drive he has actually labelled them. Alternatively put a fresh tape in the system and then type 'label' and give it a name.

Re: [Bacula-users] New Admin
In response to Keith Phipps [EMAIL PROTECTED]: When I first logged in I had some messages, I typed 'messages' and got them - sort of skimmed through to see what kinds of messages bacula gives. I made the poor assumption that they'd still be there when I went back - I was incorrect. Is there a log that these are logged to somewhere? There were valid errors in there about labels that I would like to see. Console messages are gone after you view them. Hopefully, your admin configured the system to save those messages to a log file as well, which is pretty common. Look for the messages section in bacula-dir's config file to find out what it's doing. Also, if it's stating: Archive DATACENTER-TAPE1 is not open or does not exist. Is this a permissions issue perhaps? I'm currently going through the tutorial I found looking for instances of this. Not sure. I get those messages when I check the status if a file device that isn't currently in use -- they don't indicate an error condition in that case. I've never seen that message occur in reference to a tape device. When there's no tape in the drive, I see: Device Ultrium (/dev/nsa0) open but no Bacula volume is mounted. Any other advice you guys may have would be most appreciated. I really need to get my head wrapped around this program quickly as it's priority number one in my department. Well, your question-asking technique could use a little brushup. When providing an error message (such as the one above) it helps to say what you did that caused that message to be printed. Sure would be nice to know what version of Bacula you're running, as well as the OS and hardware involved. And when you ask questions, include the relevant parts of Bacula's config (sanitized: passwords removed and the like). Otherwise, my recommendation would be to grab a scratch machine, download the PDF version of the Bacula docs, and spend some time experimenting. Once you're more familiar with Bacula, it'll be easier to understand what the previous admin was doing. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Re: [Bacula-users] New Admin
Logs usually runs under something like {bacula-home}/var/bacula/workingYou will find a log file there with all the messages.If you want a better help, take the three conf files of the server (bacula-dir.conf, bacula-sd.conf and bacula-fd.conf), make a copy, disguise any personal information (passwords, names and so on), and send it here.I will take a look, and try to figure you out the design behind it.

[Bacula-users] fatal error--Bacula wants tape to be in the other drive in autochanger
I'm running into a frequent situation where Bacula wants a given volume to be in one drive of our autochanger, and it doesn't seem to find the volume when it's already in the other drive. This is with Bacula 1.38.9, under Linux (FC1), with a 23-slot, 2 drive autochanger and mysql5. Most backups work fine, but this is a persistent problem. Here's an example...there are two tapes (volumes 13 and 39) loaded and in use. Volume 39 is in the pool Incremental, and is in drive 0. Volume 13 is in the pool Full, and is in drive 1. I manually begin a new backup (type Full). Bacula correctly wants to use volume 13, however it insists on using that volume in drive 0 (which is in use by other jobs). This results in a fatal error. - bconsole session output --- Run Backup job JobName: athens-full FileSet: Full Set Level:Full Client: athens-fd Storage: pv132t Pool: Full When: 2006-09-12 12:11:26 Priority: 10 OK to run?

Re: [Bacula-users] Rescue cd create/make problem
Thank you Kern, Arno, and Erich for your responses. Please forgive my impatience. I need to be mindful that not everyone in the world lives between the Eastern and Pacific (US) timezones. I thought it was an unusual question that not many had experienced, and certainly not on the short list of the key players. I was obviously wrong. I believe this is an exceptional application, and appreciate all that has been invested by some many personally and technically. I'm definitely an open source advocate. Projects and list responses like yours are the reason. I was certain I was just technically ignorant. I'll take all the input and come up with a solution for my environment. Again, thank you all for your time, responses, and the substance. Don.

Or, if you know of someone who might have some ideas please ask them to review the posts. This is just to let you know that I *have* been following all your posts as well as those of everyone else, and in my case, it is not that I am shy, but that at the moment I am totally overloaded trying to finish off the current Bacula release. Concerning the rescue disk, here are a number of points: 1. Most if not all of the discussion on what I have been doing (a lot) has been on the bacula-devel list. 2. I am totally convinced that Bacula needs a good rescue CD on the ideas of the current rescue CD, but the current implementation is essentially dead (see below). 2. In my opinion, the old rescue code that you are using worked only moderately well on Fedora systems up to and including FC4. In FC5 and in most other Linux distros, it is simply broken. It was at this point that I realized that writing a general rescue CD for Bacula is a full time project for one person, and is not my preferred activity (I prefer adding features to Bacula and improving the code). 3. The problem is that booting an OS and getting all the RAID/LVM, and 20 other two and three letter thingies working is first difficult (which I can handle), but above all significantly different on each distro (which I cannot handle). 4. I've come up with a short term strategy, which I have implemented (almost) and a longer term strategy (actually two different strategies). Short term strategy (95% implemented): 1. Used mkcdrec (3rd party open source package) as the basis of the booting and hook into its code to get the Bacula stuff on the CD. The advantage is that mkcdrec shares most of my ideas (i.e. build a rescue cd using *your* kernel and data from *your* system). The author of mkcdrec has been very kind and has integrated all the changes I have sent him that make it easy for Bacula to insert its own stuff (bacula-fd, bacula-fd.conf, ...) onto the CD. This code is as I say 95% complete (it boots and the Bacula stuff is there) -- there are still lots of little details to clean up, and NO documentation as of the current time. The big advantage is that it is likely to boot on many more systems than just the ones I have. If anyone is willing to test this code (I think you are likely to get much farther than with the old 1.8.x rescue), please let me know, and I'll create a first cut documentation and tell you how to get the code. It would be a *big* help to have testers, but I have to specify that my priority is getting Bacula 1.39.x stabilized and released ... Longer term stragegy (designed in my head 5-10% implemented): 1. Longer term, mkcdrec is going away because the author has a new much more flexible project (released to Source Forge) called rear (Relax and Recover). 2. I haven't yet had the time to look at rear in detail to see if it is far enough along to be used by Bacula -- the authors kindly let me provide them with input at the design phase, so they are aware of what Bacula needs. So this is a possibility. 3. It seems to me that there are two possibly better solutions to the problem: a. Most distros now have rather serious rescue modes of booting their installation disks (by serious, I mean they do a very good job of getting any configuration booted, and they have a lot of tools). SuSE even has tools that will check and repare a whole filesystem (beyond just fsck). The problem is that these rescue disks do not have Bacula. b. Most distros have good scripts to create a initrd and an iso boot image. 4. I believe that

Re: [Bacula-users] Purge Oldest Volume fails on 1.36?
My opinion is that the update is a coincidence. I have had this happen
from time to time and ordinarily it was a tape failure (either on this
or the last job -- the initial read/set of the number of volume files is
getting messed up), or a bad exit from the previous job.
That said, I hear Purge Oldest Volume is a somewhat unpleasant directive
to use anyway.

The manual was not very explicit on this, so I have made it so. Note, in a few exceptional cases (Bacula crashes between the time the job starts and the job terminates), the End time of the job will be set to the start time of the Job. Any job that is correctly terminated by Bacula (normal, warning, error, fail, ...) will have the End time set correctly. I hate to argue, but here's the facts in this case: 1. Started at 11:05 2.

Re: [Bacula-users] Rescue cd create/make problem
Title: RE: [Bacula-users] Rescue cd create/make problem Hi to all! I took the advice about loading a minimal OS config and then restoring from backup. I have another issue that may or may not be related to the restore... I used restore all from the console, with files being replaced always and the where set to /. However, after entering the / for the where parm the field appeared blank. No matter, or so I thought. Near the end of the restore process as it is trying to restore the sys/dev folder (some of which can't be restored because it's in use) the server ceases to communicate. No ping, not bacula client response... I rebooted the server and after loading vmlinuz... I get an error saying that it can't find the root (/) folder, and then the kernel panics. I'm thinking that there are some folders that I should know to exclude from the restore, but don't have the experience to know about. I'm trying to follow the docs (not a complaint, just want you to know I'm not lazy), but I don't see anything different from what I'm doing. Links to mail list threads and/or documentation are welcome - I'm willing to do my homework, I just need a nudge or a shove in the right direction - as are outright answers. Again, I appreciate the features and quality of bacula, you guys are great. Don. PS. I'm willing to do some beta testing as Kern requested, but I'm booked through mid-October. If it's still needed at that time I'll be happy to help. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Arno Lehmann Sent: Tue 9/12/2006 12:54 AM To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Rescue cd create/make problem Hi, On 9/12/2006 1:39 AM, Don MacArthur wrote: Sorry to be so chatty- Failure: when I eject the bacula boot cd, restart the server, after the POST when (I'm guessing) it tries to read from the drives I'm presented with a blank screen and a blinking underscore cursor in the upper left corner of the display. Hmm. Which rscue CD? The one from the Bacula project? That, AFAIK, was always rather limited. IIRC, Kern started integrating Bacula into something else which name I forgot (of course...) but a search in the list archives and possibly through the ReleaseNotes might find something... ah, not what I was thinking of, but look here: http://rescuecd.pld-linux.org/ Going to plan b; load the OS and bacula from scratch, and restore from there. That should work - it's more difficult with windows, but I understand you've got your windows recovery routine proven already. (BartPE?) I've seen no response to my posts, so don't be shy. Or, if you know of someone who might have some ideas please ask them to review the posts. Ideas... you're welcome. By the way, for windows I use BartPE for rescue purposes, for linux I prefer doing a minimal system install from the distribution media (which allows me to change the disk /filesystem layout using a GUI, which is needed from time to time, and once the machine is down you can as well do some maintenance work :-) , add bacula-fd + configuration to it and recover from there. A completely static FD seems to be somewhat difficult, so in case of problems I even install gcc/g++, the necessary development packages, and compile Bacula - I found this to be more flexible than fighting with a pre-compiled binary and its requirements. Usually, though, the pre-compiled FD works without problems. I never actually tried to prepare a universal linux Bacula rescue CD because I found it much too complicated handling all necessary ATA/SATA/Chipset modules, filesystem types, LVM1 / LVM2 issues, network setups (rather the simplest part, though) combinations I encounter.
