Re: [Bacula-users] Can bacula do this for me?

I had to test all your suggestions and so I wasn't able to respond earlier To ensure that I understand, here's what I think you want to do. Use bacula for backups to disk-based volumes. Create backups of these volumes to a tape library. Tapes are taken offsite. You exactly hit the point :-) I think that the feature of bacula you want is copying jobs, which is currenly in development. However, I can think of a couple of things you can do. That was my guess too, yes. (1) Bacula can use multiple catalogues. Use a second catalogue for backing up (or archiving) the disk volumes to tape. You can set the priority of the archiving job to ensure that it doesn't start until after the backups have completed. You could also have a pre-flight script that dumps the first catalogue and include it in the tape-archiving. You could have a final (after archiving) job that dumps the second catalogue. This won't be very large since the archive will contain a small number of large files. You could probably save it to CD or transfer it somewhere else for disaster recovery. Didn't take that into further consideration yet, because I prefer an approach in some matter of (2) (so does the customer). (2) Instead of tar use star. It can use different header types that enable it to store ACLs and files larger than 2G. It also has a multi-volume mode and a new-volume-script option. You can write your own scripts to operate the tape-library using the mtx command. If you are using multiple drives, you will need to use lockfiles or semaphores to avoid conflicts with the user of the changer. As a matter of fact, the library isn't there yet. At the moment, we are using a single tapedrive as we are still in our pilot. Nevertheless I am already able to test this procedure, as the volumefiles of our pilot don't fit to one tape anymore. So I was able to test tar with multiple volumes. As I didn't know star before, I did some further research with tar. tar knows two options which may suite my needs, which are --info-script and --new-volumescript. What I am doing now, is to call a script, which ejects the volume, does a mt -f /dev/st0 status and waits until the next volume is inserted and so tar doesn't wait for someone pressing enterkey. It is in testingstage since friday and it looks as if it works (will verify that on wednesday). My plan is, to use tar with a modified script which takes the next tape in the library. As one of the last questions: What I don't get yet, is the difference of --info-script and --new-volume-script. It is kind of hard to search google for examples, so I hope that anyone on this list may provide some knowledge. Hope this helps. It really did, thanks a lot.

Re: [Bacula-users] recommended iscsi hba ?
Hello, I'm using bacula with an iscsi storage array without any iscsi hba on the bacula server (a dell poweredge 600sc). As the cpu load is quite high during backups, I thought maybe an iscsi hba would help a bit. Would someone have a model to recommend that works well with linux ? Regards, -- Mikael Kermorgant Hi Mikael, I use a few Qlogic QLA4010C and QLA4050C iSCSI HBAs [1] on my iSCSI SAN (EMC). All under Linux (we're a completely Linux shop server-wise) and all work well. There are (or at least were, I haven't checked lately) a few issues building the kernel module on *very* recent kernels (2.6.19 20) but earlier ones worked fine. Qlogic release their drivers under the GPL and update them fairly often so seem to be pretty good. Have used them under FC4/5 and RHEL4. I've just had a look and it looks like the Qlogic driver has recently been accepted for inclusion in the upstream kernel [2], the first for a iSCSI HBA. This should make this even simpler :) HTH Dan -- [1] - http://www.qlogic.com/products/iscsi_products_hba.asp [2] - http://www.qlogic.com/news-events/details/releases_details.asp?id=6711 Dan Hawker Linux System Administrator Astrium http://www.astrium.eads.net -- This email (including any attachments) may contain confidential and/or privileged information or information otherwise protected from disclosure.

[Bacula-users] latest incremental JobID for a client?
Is there a known/standard way to get the jobid for the latest incremental backup for a client using bconsole? Or, does anyone have a tried and trusted method of their own? I need the jobid for an automatic restore from one client to another, in a bconsole shell script that is run immediately after successful completion of a daily incremental job. The current backup is not ideal because that includes the most recent full backup. I need the incremetal backup only (this is for servers with scheduled jobs for inc, diff and full backups). One way I can think of would be to separate the diff/full and icremental jobs. I could create a job that only does incrementals, and then use restore option 5. (select most recent backup for a client) in the bconsole script. (This is for off-site incrementals that are taken by Attix off of a W2k3 backup server. The W2k3 machine is the one to which the incrementals are restored.) Any suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks, Mark Mark Tiramani FREDO Internet Services [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Take Surveys.

[Bacula-users] incrementals
Hi,
I am backing up /home on one server to file storage on another.
I would like a full to happen 4 times a year and incrementals every
other day so I set up the following schedule:
Schedule {
Name = homesched
Run = Fullon 1 jan apr jul oct at 18:05
Run = Incremental daily at 1:05
}
My problem is that after the first FULL backup completes OK and
incremental is supposed to go next and it seems to be doing another full
instead of backing up only the new or changed files.
Can anyone suggest why or how to fix it?
The clocks are perfectly synchronized on both servers.
Thanks
The pool is:
# Default pool definition
Pool {
Name = Default
Maximum Volumes = 500 # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
Maximum Volume Bytes = 4831838208
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 14 days # half a month

Re: [Bacula-users] Change in verification job tape selection time - deliberate or accidental?
Hi, We have seen the same behaviour as described below. When a Verify job is scheduled to run before the last Backup job is finished, it will not verify the backup that was running but the previous job that already was finished at schedule time. So you have to make sure that a backup job is finished before you can start a verify job of that backup Job in the new version (2.0.x). The difference with 1.38.x is that with that version the verify job picked the Backup job when it was starting the verify Job, and with the 2.0.x version it is picking the Backup job at Schedule time. You can verify this behaviour when you start a backup and verify job (with different priority) at the same time. The verify job will not verify the backup job that was started at the same time, but the one that finished before the verify started. At the moment we don't schedule a verify job but we schedule an Admin Job with a Runafter shellscript that will start the verify job, so that the verify job will absolutely sure start after the backup job is finished. We are running version 2.0.2 at the moment, so maybe the behaviour is changed in the 2.0.3 version, I didn't check, but as mentioned above we found a way to do a verify of the correct backup tape.

If you are getting the error from check_bacula then you need to make
sure the password from the check_bacula invocation matches the password
in the fd.
As I understand your question, you would use the following (all on one
line),
./check_bacula -H your FD host or IP goes here -D fd -P 9102 -M
backup-mon -K 'yes_naya'
This is what is working for me. Try running './check_bacula -?' from the
command line to see the switches and their uses.

I think you should rethink what you are doing. Given that this is URGENT, and it probably involves important data for you company, you really should be quite careful about basing it on a technology that you don't fully master (Bacula on Win32) AND basing it on a part of Bacula (Win32 server + SD) that is not yet officially documented nor supported. If your request were not URGENT, I could see learning and working with the Win32 version, which to the best of my knowledge works perfectly fine. However, you would probably be much better off spending a very minor amount of money and install an OpenSUSE system similar to the one you are currently using. At least in the short term that might (must be carefully reviewed) be a much less painful way to solve the problem. as you can see in the bacula's scsilist.exe log, the device has no name attributed, that's what confused me regards, Nawfel - Message d'origine De : Florian Heigl [EMAIL PROTECTED] À : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Envoyé le : Lundi, 12 Mars 2007, 11h38mn 33s Objet : Re: [Bacula-users] ***URGENTNeed Help !*** Hey sorry, but answer me one question: What topic are You going to use if you ever have a really urgent problem?

My problem is that after the first FULL backup completes OK and
incremental is supposed to go next and it seems to be doing another full

Can anyone suggest why or how to fix it?
It might help to know what was printed in the log for these jobs.

Hi, On 3/12/2007 1:01 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there a known/standard way to get the jobid for the latest incremental backup for a client using bconsole? The only suggestion I have is parsing a query output. Or, alternatively, directly access the catalog. Or, does anyone have a tried and trusted method of their own? I need the jobid for an automatic restore from one client to another, in a bconsole shell script that is run immediately after successful completion of a daily incremental job. The current backup is not ideal because that includes the most recent full backup. I need the incremetal backup only (this is for servers with scheduled jobs for inc, diff and full backups). One way I can think of would be to separate the diff/full and icremental jobs. I could create a job that only does incrementals, and then use restore option 5. (select most recent backup for a client) in the bconsole script. That would not work, because for the Levels to reference each other, they have to run through the same Job. I.e. it would create two independent lists of backups if you separated the levels into two Jobs. (This is for off-site incrementals that are taken by Attix off of a W2k3 backup server. The W2k3 machine is the one to which the incrementals are restored.) Any suggestions would be most welcome. Looks like you, too, need copy jobs :-) Do you backup to disk or to tape? Backing up to disk, you could simply scp or rsync the volume files. Of course, you could also use rsync to transfer the data to the off-site system, independent of Bacula.

I've checked connections and tried different DLT Tapes and the obvious things, I'll try a different scsi card tomorrow just in case. It just seems odd it backs up small amounts of data and not large amounts. I guess my question is, is there anyway I can get a more descriptive error message to help isolate the source of the problem or has any else had a similar issue? Not a similar issue... but you might try tapeinfo on the drive. Also could this be caused by the drive requiring a cleaning? I don't think so. It should report the need of cleaning by an LED, usually. Admittedly, I don't know your autochanger model, but it might help to check the device configuration and reset it to its factory default. Usually taht should work through the control panel somehow. Also, HP has a tool for library and tape testing called Library and Tape Tools or short LTT which you can download here: http://h2.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?pnameOID=406731locale=en_UStaskId=135prodSeriesId=406729prodTypeId=12169 or go through this http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/ltt/index.html URL. Hope that helps you, Arno Thanks for the reply Arno I'm downloading the HP tools at the moment to see what it has to say. I also grabbed some more info from dmesg, I'm now wondering if it may be the SCSI card or kernel: This looks like a hardware problem. Quite often, checking and perhaps replacing the cabling and terminators helsp in these cases. It might also be a problem with the SCSI driver, but you would know a lot about the drivers code to verify that... For cases like these, I try another SCSI HBA using a different driver, for example LSI instead of adaptec. If that driver works, you can be quite sure it's a software problem. I can't recall you telling us, but is that an Adaptec 2940U(2)W HBA? There seem to be different revisions of the controller chips on these cards, some of them buggy. I looked through the drivers code once, and there were lots of special cases for problem handling depending on the exact chipsat revision.

When there is a tape change after an out of space error susequent block write continue to get that error even after the tape change by the robot. This continue. I made some changes to the block.c routine You'd better discuss this at bacula-devel, I think, or send Kern a mail explaining the problem and the resolution. (very simple, because I'm not a C programmer and also I don't know the logic of sd program). I made the routine enter the retry loop even for ERNOSPC if file number is 0. This made bacula-sd work correctly (but it took 20 hours to write file 0). After writing the EOF mark speed is normal again. My idea is that changing the tape does not reset the EOD condition on the tape That sounds like a bug, either in the hardware or the HBA driver. until a file mark is written. I do not know if this a wrong device or OS error, but I believe that the FD of tape should be closed and reopened in a tape change. I know about nothing about these details, so I won't comment on it... dd and mt tests always gave correct results, but dd always write an EOF mark at the and of the transfer. If you have some idea about that I will be very happy. Thank you very much in any c asze. Difficult problem, I think. If this is a hardware or driver problem, I don't think modifying the SD code is the right solution. If it works for you - fine, but it might be that you have to manage that patch for your installation yourself.

Re: [Bacula-users] Change in verification job tape selection time - deliberate or accidental?
Hi, Kern Sibbald wrote: On Monday 12 March 2007 04:05, Troy Daniels wrote: Greetings Listers, Last week I upgraded my Bacula install to 2.0.2 without any issues during the upgrade process. All seemed to be working well until Friday, but that was only because I hadn't discovered this issue yet. I run several jobs each night, with Full backups on Friday night and incrementals every other night. Once the backups are completed I have bacula setup to verify a few of these tape jobs against the catalog with Volume to Catalog jobs. These verify jobs have a higher priority, so they shouldn't start until after the backup jobs are complete. I also schedule them to start 10 minutes after the backups at 23:15. (All backups are scheduled to start at 23:05) This behaviour seems to have changed in Bacula 2.0.2 however. They seem to launch immediately and select which tape they'll use for the verify. Here's a log excerpt from a job running under 1.38.5 (My old version) 02-Mar 01:09 backup1-dir: Verifying against JobId=6017 Job=fs1.2007-03-01_23.00.00 02-Mar 01:09 backup1-dir: Bootstrap records written to /export/bacula/var/backup1-dir.restore.Verify-fs1.2007-03-01_23.15.00.bsr 02-Mar 01:09 backup1-dir: 02-Mar 01:09 backup1-dir: The job will require the following Volumes: 02-Mar 01:09 backup1-dir: 02-Mar 01:09 backup1-dir:09 02-Mar 01:09 backup1-dir: Even tho it was scheduled to run at 23:15, it didn't start until 1:09 the next morning. This is the expected behaviour. Here's a log excerpt from Friday night under 2.0.2: 09-Mar 23:15 backup1-dir: Verifying against JobId=6101 Job=fs1.2007-03-08_23.00.00 09-Mar 23:15 backup1-dir: Bootstrap records written to /export/bacula/var/backup1-dir.restore.11.bsr 09-Mar 23:15 backup1-dir: 09-Mar 23:15 backup1-dir: The job will require the following Volume(s) Storage(s)SD Device(s) = == 09-Mar 23:15 backup1-dir: 09-Mar 23:15 backup1-dir:10Tape OfficeAutochanger 09-Mar 23:15 backup1-dir: 10-Mar 20:57 backup1-dir: Start Verify JobId=6125 Level=VolumeToCatalog Job=Verify-fs1.2007-03-09_23.15.00 As can be seen, the job started at 23:15, selected tape '10' and then waited until the next night to run (Full backups take most of a day :) ) Meanwhile, the full backup ran, writing to 2 other tapes. The problem encountered by bacula is that tape 10 had been removed from the Autochanger on Friday morning and replaced with this weeks incremental tape. So Bacula blocked, waiting for a tape, until I discovered and cancelled this job this morning. Not ideal, but it did bring this issue to light. What I'd like to know is if this was a deliberately designed feature, or if it classifies as a bug? If it's deliberate, is there anyway to control when it performs it's tape selection, or even which job it verify? I've scanned the Jobs section of the latest manual but didn't see anything obvious. For now I can either work around it(With a Run script running the verify job), or even work with it (I've wanted to run the Full Backup job verifies on Sunday for a while anyways.) To the best of my knowledge there is no deliberate change in the way Verify jobs are run. You haven't supplied sufficient information, so I am not able to understand the problem. Doh, and I thought I'd described the problem well. Take 2. Not sure what else to say about it. Maybe if I summarise it a bit more (My previous attempt was a bit verbose) When a verify job is scheduled under 2.0.2 to perform a Volume to Catalog verify it now selects the job to be verified (and the associated tape(s)) at the scheduled start time. It then waits until all jobs of lower priority finish before performing the actual verify. This results in it verifying the previous nights backup instead of the current nights one. Under 1.38.5 the job wouldn't select the job to verify until it actually ran (Actual start time instead of scheduled start time). In my case this is after the job I actually want to verify has finished running for the evening. This is the core of the problem I wanted to highlight, and you can see in the above quoted email log excerpts showing the different times the job/tape selection was performed. Maybe an example will help too. At 23:05 every night, backups of my servers are scheduled to commence. All servers are backed up concurrently. At 23:15 every night, VolumeToCatalog verify jobs of certain backup jobs are scheduled to commence. These jobs have a higher priority than the backups so they will wait until they are finished. Under 1.38.5, the job to be verified wouldn't be selected until the verify job ran. This meant it picked the job that had run that night at 23:05. Under 2.0.2 the job to be verified is chosen at 23:15. The job I want to be verified is still running,
