[Bacula-users] Bacula cannot write on disk Volume... because: The sizes do not match!
Hello all! What we have: FreeBSD-8.0-p2 amd64 Bacula-3.0.3 MySQL-5.1.44 I have a working bacula setup for an 4-5 month without any problems. Today I notice an error: 26-May 06:46 hide.domain.org-sd JobId 1645: Volume hide.domain.org-0074 previously written, moving to end of data. 26-May 06:46 hide.domain.org-sd JobId 1645: Error: Bacula cannot write on disk Volume hide.domain.org-0074 because: The sizes do not match!

[Bacula-users] btape spouradically times out on test command
Hello list,
i have a problem with btape (bacula-sd too) and writing on a tape. After
a while it times out sporadically and i can't find out the reason. The
problem is reproducable.
Filling the tape with tar works well, I tested all the commands (rewind,
fsr,bsr ...) by hand and there is no problem with that. The mtx-changer
script from bacula works well too.
My environment:
Hardware:
- a linux server running Debian Linux 2.6.32-bpo.4-xen-686 #1 SMP Tue
Apr 13 16:03:38 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
- a new Tapechanger Quantum Superloader 3 LTO4 with an Ultrium 4 drive
(2190)
- its coupled with an Adaptec 1045 SAS-adapter
Since kernel 2.6.30 the mvsas-module supports the adapter
Software:
- Bacula 5.0.1-1 installed from the Backports
- mt-st 1.1-4
- i recompiled the st driver with debugging: st: Version 20081215, fixed

This happens when what the catalog believes the size of the volume is differs from the actual size. I have seen this happen on the case of a job ending in error. The big question is do you need to fix it? If bacula can just create another volume its probably best to leave it alone. If not you need to edit the database to make the the sizes match.

Re: [Bacula-users] Fwd: Logging bconsole activity
Hello! At least 3.0.3 source code have readline code support, so readline history, it should go into ~/.bconsole_history, check that your bacula compiled with readline support.

[Bacula-users] Re cycling not working.
Hey,
I've a problem (I guess) cause bacula doesn't recycle my tape, even when
volume retention is over.
Here is the pool part of my bacula-dir.conf :
# Tape Pool definition
Pool {
Name = TapePool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Use Duration = 18 hours
Volume Retention = 20 days # one year
Maximum Volumes = 1 # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
Maximum Volume Jobs = 2
Label Format = Day-
}
Look at the tape day-20A (retention period and the last written thing)
http://www.flickr.com/photos/47940...@n08/4641302169/sizes/l/
And now look at the error (1month after the last written thing on the tape,
bacula seems to not recycle the tape..)
http://www.flickr.com/photos/47940...@n08/4641307241/sizes/l/
There is a problem, right ?

Re: [Bacula-users] Re cycling is not working.
I've a problem (I guess) cause bacula doesn't recycle my tape, even when
volume retention is over.
Here is the pool part of my bacula-dir.conf :
# Tape Pool definition
Pool {
Name = TapePool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Use Duration = 18 hours
Volume Retention = 20 days # one year
Maximum Volumes = 1 # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
Maximum Volume Jobs = 2
Label Format = Day-
}
Look at the tape day-20A (retention period and the last written thing)
http://www.flickr.com/photos/47940...@n08/4641302169/sizes/l/
And now look at the error (1month after the last written thing on the tape,
bacula seems to not recycle the tape..)
http://www.flickr.com/photos/47940...@n08/4641307241/sizes/l/
There is a problem, right ?

Yes there is a problem with your configuration. You have it configured
to use only 1 volume. Write up to 2 jobs on that 1 volume then wait 20
days until it can be used again. I do not think this is what you want.

I missed the other condition. On top of a maximum of 2 jobs to a
volume you limit the volume to 18 hours of usage. So the second job
must be started within 18 hours of the first.

Sorry. I see what you mean from the pictures. I would still get rid of
Maximum Volumes = 1 because that may be confusing bacula since you
have way more than 1 volume in the pool.

If your CPU is mostly idle, then offloading won't buy you much. (At least with 1GB NICs. With 10GB NICs this is a whole different picture.) But beware: some Linux versions had problems with offloading, so while benchmarking your network with netio and iperf it may be worthwhile to toggle some offloading options to see if you get any changes in throughput and/or CPU load.

Re: [Bacula-users] Re cycling is not working.
Yeah thanks !
I had not understood the maximum volume use, you're saying I've to wait 20
days from the last tape written right ? (cause there is only 1 volume in the
pool ?)
I thought it was from the last written value of a specific tape I had to
care about to reuse the same one.
It's ok for the volume use duration, I understand that one ;)
Number of tapes will grow up every month so I've commented the maximum
volume, restarted the backup and it looks good now.
Thanks John ! (again ! ;)

Today I tried a FULL restore job, I receive several error with file lock at the end of the job, and to let it work well I need to reinstall Sql Server... why? This DBMS is under Windows 2k3 There is a best way to backup this kind of server? In the Windows section of the documentation, they say: If you are not using the VSS (Volume Shadow Copy) option described in the next section of this chapter, and if any applications are running during the backup and they have files opened exclusively, Bacula will not be able to backup those files, so be sure you close your applications (or tell your users to close their applications) before the backup. http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Windows_Version_Bacula.html#SECTION00375 So maybe check VSS...

[Bacula-users] Upgrading copy jobs to backup jobs
Hi, this is from the bacula documentation: Note that when a copy is made, the original JobIds are left unchanged. The new copies can not be used for restoration unless you specifically choose them by JobId. If you subsequently delete a JobId that has a copy, the copy will be automatically upgraded to a Backup rather than a Copy, and it will subsequently be used for restoration. The first part works, I can restore files from the copy when I choose the job by jobid. But after deleting the original job bacula tells me there is no backup when trying to restore. So this automatic upgrade doesn't seem to work. Also list jobs still shows a C for the copy job, no B. Any ideas?

So why does it say please mount volume or label a new one? Why does it keep saying this despite the fact the tape is loaded in the drive? Anyone know why. Typically, I just label a new tape, and that fixes the problem, but why the hell does it not just use the tape that it loaded into the drive in the first place instead of complaining about it.

Re: [Bacula-users] Why does bacula keep giving me these errors
To add to this, apparently this tape is just bad or needs to be erased. I marked it read only and mounted another tape into drive 0 and everything seems to be working. Is there any way for bacula to just say, Hey this tape is crap, send me an email and load another tape Thanks, Randall Svancara Systems Administrator/DBA/Developer Main Bioinformatics Laboratory - Original Message - From: randa...@bioinfo.wsu.edu To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2010 4:50:39 PM Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Why does bacula keep giving me these errors Connecting to Director 10.0.0.176:9101 1000 OK: mlbkp1-dir Version: 5.0.1 (24 February 2010) Enter a period to cancel a command. *status Status available for: 1: Director 2: Storage 3: Client 4: All Select daemon type for status (1-4): 2 Automatically selected Storage: Overland Neo2000 Connecting to Storage daemon Overland Neo2000 at 10.0.0.176:9103 mlbkp1-sd Version: 5.0.1 (24 February 2010) x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu ubuntu 9.04 Daemon started 26-May-10 16:03, 0 Jobs run since started.

Is there any way for bacula to just say, Hey this tape is crap, send me an email and load another tape You should replace /dev/st0 with /dev/nst0. With /dev/st0 there is a chance of corruption caused by the os rewinding the volume without bacula expecting.
