Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula database is getting too long

 I'm backing up a handful number of Unix boxes, they all get backed up very
 quickly but we can't access them due to the BackupCatalog job being very
 slow. When I read online, I see people said it's because of the database
 size getting larger and larger.
  
 I cancel the backup catalog job and all the servers become accessible. This
 is the configuration for catalog:
  
 # This is the backup of the catalog
 FileSet {
   Name = Catalog
   Include {
 Options {
   signature = MD5
 }
 File = /var/lib/bacula/bacula.sql
   }
 }
  
 All backups finish around 5 AM but all the servers remain inaccessible until
 8:30 or so. The last job running is that backup job so I thought the process
 getting slower and slower everyday might have something to do with the size
 of th ebacula.sql file.

The bacula.sql you showed in your first email was written at 05:23, so it
seems unlikely that Bacula was doing anything at 8:30.

Please post the log output from the BackupCatalog job.

Also, can you describe exactly what you mean by inaccessible?

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula database is getting too long

2012-01-12 Thread Honia A

Thanks for everyone's  helpful responses.

I was handed this backup server which has bacula installed and looks like there 
was no maintenance work ever done to it. The backupcatalog job is the one with 
error every morning:
Error12-Jan-12 05:39 BackupCatalog

I typed the command messages in bconsole to get the messages and pasted that 
below. Is there anywhere else I should be looking to get specifically the logs 
for backupcatalog?
 
The mail server's name is Gauss and although I have it setup babar (name of the 
backup server where has bacula installed) to start at 20:05 every night, the 
mail server will not be accessible until 8:15 AM and by that I mean people at 
work cannot get their messages or send messages because the server is not 
responding.

Agreed, but if there are, say, network issues, bacula could exacerbate
a problem that flies under the radar during normal operation.  I'd be
checking the network settings on every device from the NIC to the
backup server and running some performance tools while bacula is not
active to see if you experience the same degradation.

These were the commands I ran to cleanup the database:
 
mysqldump -f --opt bacula  bacula.sql
mysql bacula  bacula.sql
rm -f bacula.sql 
 
How can I test and find out what's wrong here? When I had shut down the backup 
server, everything was fine. Looks like something is holiding up the servers 
until 8 AM or so, just can't tell what that is.
 
I'd appreciate your help,

 Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula database is getting too long
 
 Excerpts from Martin Simmons's message of Thu Jan 12 10:25:02 -0500 2012:
 
   The mail server's name is Gauss and although I have it setup babar
   (name of the backup server where has bacula installed) to start at
   20:05 every night, the mail server will not be accessible until
   8:15 AM and by that I mean people at work cannot get their
   messages or send messages because the server is not responding.
  
  This is very unlikely to be caused by Bacula.
 
 Agreed, but if there are, say, network issues, bacula could exacerbate
 a problem that flies under the radar during normal operation. I'd be
 checking the network settings on every device from the NIC to the
 backup server and running some performance tools while bacula is not
 active to see if you experience the same degradation.

Re: [Bacula-users] differential backups with xfs/x86-64?

2012-01-12 Thread Martin Simmons
 On Wed, 11 Jan 2012 13:12:56 +0100, IEM  said:
 
 i already included it in the director configuration.
 anyhow, here it is again:

Sorry, I missed the attachment.

 }
 File = /Net/data
   }
   Exclude {
 File = /Net/data/Benutzer.rsync
   }
 }
 /snip

OK, no sign of accurate backup there.

 Change: 2011-10-04 21:35:44.745746088 +0200
 
 so the times seem to be fine (the ctime is when i copied the old files
 to the new fileserver)

That is very strange, because the Modify and Change times are both old.
Without accurate backup, that is all that Bacula uses to detect changed files.

Can you repeat the problem with a fileset containing just that file?

The process running bacula-fd can't create your bacula.sql dump file.

 12-Jan 05:39 babar-dir JobId 1639: BeforeJob: sh: cannot create
 /var/lib/bacula/bacula.sql: Permission denied

Who owns the folder /var/lib/bacula? What kind of permissions are
allowed there for the process running bacula-dir? Bacula-dir is run by
user bacula normally.
