Re: [Bacula-users] Server Crash on SLES 10
Hello, In case you or anyone else on this list are not hooked into the SUSE bug report that I reported on the kernel crash, they have now come up with a patch that reportedly fixes the problem. Please see: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=208782 or download the patched kernel directly from: http://beta.suse.com/private/hare/testing/bug208782 I would appreciate feedback from anyone trying this kernel. I am currently running my tests against it ... Best regards, Kern On Friday 03 November 2006 11:31, Thomas Traeger wrote: Hello list, Tonight we experienced a server crash during the bacula backup.

[Bacula-users] Rif: Re: SUSE SLES 9 bacula client 1.38.11
Hello Kern, thanks for your answer. I checked the manual again, but I only found how to make a client -only version using the tarball sources. I did non find any way for building an rpm client-only. Rpmbuild defines only allow to set platform, database type and some other. Obviously I can build the complete package and then use the client rpm only, but I need all necessary packages on the system. I still have to backup some RedHat 7.3 systems that had the FD client installed with an RPM for rev 1.36. I had to build binaries from the tarball in order to upgrade to 1.38 (unless setup one of the systems with MySQL and all the other necessary stuff). If it would be possible to have a %define enable-client-only in the rpm source spec (as in tarball) it would be easer. May be this can be easily done modifying the spec file, but not by me. Also a worst situation. A couple of SUSE SLES 9 system do not have development installed, but client RPMS for these systems are not on the web any more. I found a 1.38.9 for SLES 9.1 on rpmfind.org, so the problem is over. What I would like to say is that it would be useful build clients also for old platforms (specially when the old clients are not compatible). Anyway it is a minor issue related to what bacula gives us.

[Bacula-users] Error Connecting to (Remote) File Daemon
I've got a setup that's fairly simple: a bacula director, sd, and fd on a
debian box, and an fd on a remote windows box (that is, it's not even on the
LAN). The relevant sections of the config file are:
/etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf (on the server):
Director {
Name = ptnv-dir
DIRport = 9101
QueryFile = /etc/bacula/query.sql
WorkingDirectory = /var/bacula/working
PidDirectory = /var/run
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
Password = jveb**IGHappe
Messages = Daemon
}
Client {
Name = carlos-fd
Address = 66.100.53.72
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = jveb**IGHappe
File Retention = 30 days
Job Retention = 6 months
AutoPrune = yes
}
Storage {
Name = File
Address = [externally resolvable ip address of localhost - not 127.0.0.1]
SDPort = 9103
Password = jveb**IGHappe
Device = FileStorage
Media Type = File
}
F:\\bacula\\bin\\bacula-fd.conf (on the client, a windows machine not on the
LAN of the server)
Director {
Name = ptnv-dir
Password = jveb**IGHappe
}
FileDaemon {
Name = carlos-fd
FDport = 9102
WorkingDirectory = /bacula/working
Pid Directory = /bacula/working
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
}
The director connects fine to the sd (I know this as it spits no errors, and
local backups - that is to say, backups where the fd is on the same machine are
the director - work perfectly fine). However, trying to run a job on carlos-fd
fails with:
Fatal error: Unable to authenticate with File daemon. Possible causes:
Passwords or names not the same or
Maximum Concurrent Jobs exceeded on the FD or
FD networking messed up (restart daemon).
I've checked the docs (though not the list archive, apologies - gmane was
behaving strangely earlier), and I'm thoroughly at a loss. Any suggestions? Any
extra info I need to post?
Thanks,
Arjun

Re: [Bacula-users] Preventing windows bacula-fd from accessing some files
Hi Bill, thank you for your reply. I know that if install the windows client using default options, it will run as a service using the system user. Since bacula-fd is running using the system user, it will be able to access every file on the pc, rigth? I need to limit the bacula-fd to access to just a few files ( the ones I need to backup). The thing is, the pc user (AAA in my previous email) have personal information on it and he doesn't want bacula to able to access it. So I thought of running bacula-fd as a BBB user having permissions to access only files I need to backup. That way, bacula-fd doesnt have access to all files on the system, but just the ones I need to backup. This should work just fine. But, having bacula-fd running as BBB user, it wont have permissions to put the icon tray on the AAA systemTray when he is logged in. I could solve this problem if bacula had a bacula-monitor for windows, which it does not.

First, you need to clearly establish the status of those files: 1) Are they important data? 2) Are they confidential data? If the answer to #1 is yes, then you need to back them up. It sounds to me that the answer to #2 is yes and you're using that as a reason _not_ to back the data up, which is a _VERY_ bad idea. I could go on and on about foolish assumptions such as the assumption that your Windows client is more secure than the Bacula server ... However, I'll cut to the chase: 1) If the data is just personal, then simply exclude those files from the backup fileset using a wildcard if necessary. 2) If the data is confidential, then you're putting the cart before the horse by trying to teach bacula not to back it up. Instead, use some sort of file-level encryption, such as one of pgp's tools. Then, you can even back up the encrypted files if it makes sense to do so, without sacrificing their confidentiality. The approach you're taking is like trying to fix a flat tire by changing the spark plugs. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc.

Re: [Bacula-users] the DREADED autochanger won't load problem
Wow that was a helpful reply Arno. Thank you. Your btape advice will be heeded. Bacula is fantasic. Could it be that I was only missing the update slots command? (see below) Message: 1 Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2006 00:50:27 +0100 (MET) From: Arno Lehmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] the DREADED autochanger won't load problem To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed I?ve been able to get through about 5 tapes of full backup by manually loading and mounting the tapes. That is, the jobs are working fine, but the jobs are much bigger than the tapes? and bacula won?t change the tapes itself. Ok, first thing to try: Use the query command and check which volumes Bacula thinks are in the changer (hopefully that query is in your version...). Then: Use the 'Update slots scan' command and see what it reports. When I ran query, it reported there were only 2 tapes in the changer instead of the 11 newly labeled tapes. I ran update slots without problem and now query reports the tapes correctly. I started a job and bacula went off and loaded tapes and got things moving. Success! Bacula: 1.38.5 (run as root) RHEL4 We have a 11 slot LTO3 changer with no barcodes on the tapes. I?ve manually labeled all of the tapes in bconsole (via mtx /dev/sg8 load 1, then label.) How exactly did your label command look? My changer.volumes You mean you've got Bacula set up with the fake autochanger feature? I would NOT recommend to use that. Does that mean you recommend using barcoded labels? Or is there more too the fake autochanger setup that I'm using? ... Giving the mtx ?f /dev/sg8 status : ... looks normal. ... Starting a job: 16-Nov 16:52 backup3-dir: Start Backup JobId 537, Job=data.2006-11-16_16.52.32 16-Nov 16:52 backup3-sd: 3301 Issuing autochanger loaded drive 0 command. 16-Nov 16:52 backup3-sd: 3302 Autochanger loaded drive 0, result: nothing loaded. 16-Nov 16:52 backup3-sd: 3301 Issuing autochanger loaded drive 0 command. 16-Nov 16:52 backup3-sd: 3302 Autochanger loaded drive 0, result: nothing loaded. 16-Nov 16:52 backup3-sd: Please mount Volume F06T06 on Storage Device drive1 (/dev/nst0) for Job data.2006-11-16_16.52.32 Normal so far, because because it's quite possible that Bacula doesn't know the volme it wants is in the autochanger. ... I think we have a stock mtx-changer: ... then it's time to fix it, erm, to make it better suit your needs :-) ... especially here: # Increase the sleep time if you have a slow device # or remove the sleep and add the following: # wait_for_drive $device ... I'd usually recommend to use the wait_for_drive function if it works on your system. How will I know if the wait_for_drive function works? By uncommenting it and testing it with btape? ... Any pointers would be appreciated. It will probably really help you if you started with btape, checking your hardware setup, and learning how it works. Once you really need that knowledge there might be people around telling you to get at your data really soon.. I understand. Thanks very much. Anyway, I suspect you're only missing how to operate Bacula together with an autochanger. The key point is that Bacula needs to know which volumes are in the autochanger.

Most likely you have two storage daemons and did not specify different MediaTypes.

Building the directory tree seems to take forever... at least I had to interupt it after 30 hours of 100% CPU-usage :-( Wow ...

I didn't see any excessive CPU usage during the build, but disks ran at 100% the whole time (loading the database data off disk). Fast hardware helps. This system is a Dell 1850 with 2G of RAM and SCSI 10,000 RPM disks. Are you sure it was CPU-bound during the build, and if so, what process was CPU bound? The DB server? The director? Also, I'm using PostgreSQL as the DB backend. I've got a bit of experience tuning Postgres, so I've made sure that it uses all the system RAM for caching.

Hi there, ok, my machine here is not comparable to your hardware, but it still should work at least within minutes, not hours or even days I think. Some additional information: CPU: P4 1,7 GHZ RAM: 1GB ATA-Harddisks OS: FreeBSD DB: Mysql 4.0.27 bacula: 1.38.11_1 While building the directory tree, top tells me CPU states: 98.9% user, 0.0% nice, 1.1% system, 0.0% interrupt, 0.0% idle 5463 bacula 3 118 0 14540K 12124K RUN 1:14 96.68% bacula-dir 457 mysql 6 20 0 57580K 32720K kserel 5:15 0.29% mysqld Looks like the director is using all of CPU, not the database, while it only takes about 60MB of RAM.

[Bacula-users] Error when restoring with multiple catalogs
Greetings fellow Baculites:
We're reconfiguring our bacula services. We back up several machines to
disk, and this time around to limit the size of the backups of a couple
of hosts by splitting into multiple catalogs to give each of these
servers their own databases (one, for example, is a mail server that
averages about 45GB spread over 550,000 files).
We also have machines which have smaller backups that have been grouped
into catalogs all their own, such as one for our desktops. We also have
a separate catalog for the catalog backups.
Each client (or group) has its own device, storage, pool and volumes.
I've been naming things in a format such as 'storage.name' and
'pool.name' to help reduce confusion and make it easier to spot config
mistakes.
Backups are working, but I'm having trouble restoring files. It appears
that bacula is attempting to restore files from the catalog I created to
backup catalogs on our new config (which isn't being used yet, actually).
I've verified my steps in the console a dozen times, to no avail. I do a
use to change the catalog to catalogs.desktop, type restore, choose
select the most recent backup for a client, pick the client, mark
files, then modify the job to look like this:
JobName:RestoreFiles
Bootstrap: /var/bacula/dir.bigdawg.5.restore.bsr
Where: C:/restore/
Replace:always
FileSet:fileset.desktop.xpsp2
Client: caughran
Storage:storage.desktop
When: 2006-11-17 15:58:28
Catalog:catalog.desktop
Priority: 10
But still, I am receiving an error message saying the following:

Now it should be noted that this isn't the path that bacula should be
looking for volumes. The volumes for catalog.catalogs (the catalog for
backups of the catalogs) are under /home3/bacula/pools/catalogs, and
desktops are under /home3/bacula/pools/desktop. We don't have the path

Here's the relevant config sections (because of the size of our configs,
we split out the groups into their own config files and use @includes,

enabled).

it, and wouldn't use a different solution if someone paid us to).

Re: [Bacula-users] Error when restoring with multiple catalogs
If you are using multiple disk devices or storage daemons, on Bacula versions
prior o 1.39.x you will need to give each one a unique MediaType so that
Bacula can figure out what storage daemon/device to use for restores.
See the manual (MediaType) for more details.

That is, the jobs are working fine, but the jobs are much bigger than the tapes? and bacula won?t change the tapes itself. Ok, first thing to try: Use the query command and check which volumes Bacula thinks are in the changer (hopefully that query is in your version...). Then: Use the 'Update slots scan' command and see what it reports. When I ran query, it reported there were only 2 tapes in the changer instead of the 11 newly labeled tapes. I ran update slots without problem and now query reports the tapes correctly. I started a job and bacula went off and loaded tapes and got things moving. Success! Good. Bacula: 1.38.5 (run as root) RHEL4 We have a 11 slot LTO3 changer with no barcodes on the tapes. I?ve manually labeled all of the tapes in bconsole (via mtx /dev/sg8 load 1, then label.) How exactly did your label command look? My changer.volumes You mean you've got Bacula set up with the fake autochanger feature? I would NOT recommend to use that. Does that mean you recommend using barcoded labels? Or is there more too the fake autochanger setup that I'm using? Well, the fake barcodes solution - fake autochanger was definitely not what I wanted to say - is kind of error-prone because you have to manually keep it up to date. Doing things automatically is much better, I think. Especially if you can be sure things are done automatically right, as opposed to manually wrong ;-) In my office, where I don't have barcode capability, I use 'update slots scan', which loads each tape, reads the label and updates the catalog. This does take longer, strains the tapes, but I can't break anything. If your changer.volumes is not correct, Bacula won't overwrite any tapes it should not overwrite, but it will need manual intervention. Also, keeping the changer.volumes up to date also needs to be done manually. Choose your poison... ...

Thx again, Frank Bill Moran schrieb: In response to Frank Mueller [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi there, ok, my machine here is not comparable to your hardware, but it still should work at least within minutes, not hours or even days I think. Some additional information: CPU: P4 1,7 GHZ RAM: 1GB ATA-Harddisks OS: FreeBSD DB: Mysql 4.0.27 bacula: 1.38.11_1 While building the directory tree, top tells me CPU states: 98.9% user, 0.0% nice, 1.1% system, 0.0% interrupt, 0.0% idle 5463 bacula 3 118 0 14540K 12124K RUN 1:14 96.68% bacula-dir 457 mysql 6 20 0 57580K 32720K kserel 5:15 0.29% mysqld Looks like the director is using all of CPU, not the database, while it only takes about 60MB of RAM. I already checked the db indexes and found em all in place... I have no idea what the hell's going wrong on that machine. I'm no MySQL expert, but isn't there something that needs to go in the my.cnf or whatever in order for MySQL to operate efficiently on large data sets? - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
