Today i noticed on doing an incremental backup that a file that was moved from one directory to another doesn't get stored in the backup?

Do i miss here something? Thanks PM PS: bacula-fd on osx/hfs, atime is enabled That is because hfs doesn't change the ctime when you move a file, so bacula ignores the file.

[Bacula-users] Bacula and automatic labelling of volumes
Hi!
I have set up bacula with automatic labelling of volumes:
In bacula-dir.conf:
Storage {
Name = File
Address = bacula
SDPort = 9103
Password =
Device = FileStorage
Media Type = File
}
Pool {
Name = File
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 10 days
Maximum Volume Bytes = 4G
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Maximum Volumes = 100
LabelFormat = T${JobName}
}
In bacula-sd.conf:
Device {
Name = FileStorage
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /srv/bacula
LabelMedia = yes;
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes;
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}
Automatic creation of volumes then labelling them fails. Bacula
hangs waiting for operator intervention --- this is not what I
expected it to do. I'd like to have:
- Start a job,
- look for an empty volume, if none there, create one, than label it
- push it into the pool, mount it.
- backup the jobs data.
- after finishing keep the volume with this one job arround
- delete it when retention time has come and there is
not enough space for a new volume.
After reading the fine manual , goggling around, not finding
anything helpful: does anyone have a setup doing what I expect mine
to do, running and is willing to share?
I'd appreciate any help!

Bacula does not act like you wish, you could script parts of this to
accomplish what you want, but you cannot do it natively.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula and automatic labelling of volumes
Which parts does bacula do, which does it not? - Start a job, - look for an empty volume, if none there, create one, than label it It looks here for an appendable volume. Although if all of your volumes are use volume once /max jobs =1 it will only find empty ones. - push it into the pool, mount it. You probably already want the volume in the correct pool. There is a scratch pool that can pull new volumes out of into your pool but I am not sure that will help or do what you want. - backup the jobs data. usually no problem if the last step succeed. - after finishing keep the volume with this one job arround this is the default operation/ - delete it when retention time has come and there is not enough space for a new volume. Bacula does not delete volumes when the retention period expires or it runs out of space. It will purge volumes when there are no available volumes in the pool and one is needed at the moment for a job. If you want different functionality than the default you will have to script this.

Although if all of your volumes are use volume once /max jobs =1 it will only find empty ones. Does this mean bacula does not automatically create volumes as needed if storage is File? Would be a nice feature. Else: is there a way to mass create volumes? I've calculated about 70 volumes per host I've to backup ... - push it into the pool, mount it. You probably already want the volume in the correct pool. There is a scratch pool that can pull new volumes out of into your pool but I am not sure that will help or do what you want.

Hi Thomas, i have the same configuration and it is doing the automatic
labeling (Media Type = File).
What about this recycle Volumes-line in your Pool definition ?

[Bacula-users] Unable to restore using different storage device.
Hello, I am having issues trying to restore to a different client and storage device then originally did the backup job. In our setup we have 1 director, 2 clients and 2 storage devices. I can restore fine if I run the restore job using the same storage device that backed it up, the problem I'm having is when I take the tape to our other site using the other storage device. Essentially this is the procedure I am following - Run restore job. - Specify job to restore - Mark files to restore - Choose my restore job profile - Change the client to the client I want to restore to - Change the storage device to the device I want to restore to - Run It then starts the job but the job waits with the message job... is waiting on max Storage jobs. Just to be clear this is the only job that is running. After having tried this same procedure over and over I finally noticed that the restore job writes a bootstrap record. This bootstrap record is written before the part where I can change the client and storage device. This results in the bootstrap file containing the incorrect storage device, even though I am modifying the job parameters and specifying a different one. Is this a bug or am I not understanding the use of the bootstrap file? How can it be written before the user is allowed to modify the backup job parameters? I have tried manually editing the file to reflect the storage device I want to use, as well as deleting the file completely and seeing if it notices. Either method result in the same ... is waiting on max Storage jobs Any tips? Suggestions? Thanks. -- Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App Earn a Chance To Win $500!
