Re: [Bacula-users] Network error with FD during Backup: ERR=Connection reset by peer

2012-09-28 Thread Michael Neuendorf
 There are Job options to reschedule jobs on error:
 
 Reschedule On Error = yes
 Reschedule Interval = 30 minutes
 Reschedule Times = 18
 
 The above will reschedule the job 30 minutes after the failure and
it'll try and
 do that 18 times before finally giving up.  These options come in
handy if
 you're backing up laptops or other computers that may not be on your
 network 24x7.
 
 hope this helps,

I never have had to use these options, but while you mention it now, I
remember, that I had read about them in the past. :)

Thanks for the hint. I will try to use it, hopefully just as a
workaround.

Yes, and how is the further design?

In others words: The provided list can read as 
 One physical computer with fibre channel disk hosts all the VMs.
If it is so, then tell so. Otherwise eloborate the setup, the design.


 One question: can vmware tools have any influence in this case? From what I
 know vmware tools is mainly for better graphics performance  isn't it? I din't
 installed it.

There could also be beter disk drivers. The virtio drivers come to mind.


Back to
   During a backup I can see bacula-sd using 100% cpu,

And where did you see the 100%? ( Which tool was used to read that 
performance valule? )

I would like to see the output of

 vmstat 2 5

during non-back-up-time and also the output of

 vmstat 2 5

during back-up-time. Thing I'm interrested in, are the CPU columns.
Especial the colums system and wait.

And to avoid an extra e-mail exchange:
 I'm asking for 2 to the power 3, so 8 measurements.

So 2 moments (during backup or outside backup)
on 2 Bacula compoments ( storage deamon and file deamon ) on the VMs
on 2 physical hosts.

Yes, that means that I assume the VMware hosts have a 'vmstat' command.
That is because I'm not familair with VMware, I'm from the Xen world :-)

Re: [Bacula-users] Extremely Slow Performance

2012-09-28 Thread Uwe Schuerkamp
What kind of files are you backing up? I've seen speeds as low as 0,5
MB / sec on a more or less idle host which has a gazillion of small
image files on it. In fact I've needed to split up the backup into
several sub-jobs to prevent it from running more than 48h or so ;-) 

Also, I've seen jobs which start off incredibly slow only to pick up
speed near the end... very weird. (bacula version 5.2.6 in this
case). 

Have you checked your mysql tables for a corrupt index on the File
or Filename tables? 


All the best, 

Uwe

 Director: 5.0.1-1ubuntu1
 Storage: 5.0.1-1ubuntu1

It is fairly old version of Bacula. Is it possible to upgrade?

 FD: 5.0.1-1ubuntu1 (some clients have lower version)
 Database: mysqI
 OS: Ubuntu 10.04.4 x64 Server
 FC Storage 4 GBits/s.
 All my network is Gigabit Ethernet.

 First you have to check if your storage server is able to write data to
disk fast enough. You can do a test with a simple dd if=/dev/zero
of=/your-storage-filesystem bs=65536.

Second you have to check if you set Spool Attributes = yes in your job, if
not change it. You'll have to setup a spool directory for your device too.

Next check a network speed. What is your RTT between client and storage
daemon? I know it is a 1Gbit, but it is possible that you cannot utilize so
much. You can test with a simple ftp client. Is it possible that you have a
Firewall between both servers?

Last you have to check a client utilization and filesystem read speed. How
many small files you have to backup? Every new file to backup has its own
overhead. Bacula has to find this file, stat it, open it, read data from it
(with 64k block) and finally close it. If you have a 10M files of 1kB then
your backup will be much slower then 1 file of 10GB. You have to be aware
of it.

 One question: can vmware tools have any influence in this case? From what
 I know vmware tools is mainly for better graphics performance  isn't it? I
 din't installed it.

It is possible that without vmware tools you are using an emulated storage
and network I/O instead of much faster virtualized.

Re: [Bacula-users] file signatures PKI vs FileSet

2012-09-28 Thread lst_hoe02

Zitat von lst_ho...@kwsoft.de:

 Hello

 i wonder which of the cryptographic signatures is used and how if i
 specify in the FileSet option signature=md5 and on the client FD
 config PKI Signatures=yes. In the manual is stated that the PKI
 Signatures is not configurable but uses SHA-2 if available, otherwise
 SHA-1. This lead to the following questions:

 - Is the signature upgraded in this case to SHA-1?
 - Is one of them silently ignored if both are specified or will both
 be calculated and used?

Further digging in to this one it looks like the signature configured  
in the FileSet is stored in the DB while PKI signature is part of the  
data, so both will be used/calculated. So it boils down to the  
following:

- PKI Signature ensures that the client FD can verify on restore that  
the data are actually saved by itself signed with the private key

- PKI Encryption ensures that no one without any of the private keys  
used at backup time can read the data

- The FileSet signature (md5/sha) is used to compare (at Bacula SD?)  
if the data read are unaltered regarding the hash value stored in the  
database

With this in mind we will switch off PKI signatures to eventuelly  
(re)gain some speed.

Please let me know if i got something wrong on this topic

Thanks

Andreas

[Bacula-users] console messages

2012-09-28 Thread Gary Stainburn
I don't log into bconsole for maybe a week at at time and when I do I'm 
usually messing about with config settings.

I tend to always run 'auto on' as the first command but can sometimes have to 
wait over 5 minutes for a week's worth of log entries to scroll up my screen.

Is there a way to limit the entries displayed to say the last 4 hours, or the 
last 1000 lines?

Correct.

And Master Key if configured. :)

I think fileset signature is not used during restore. :) I can't

elsewhere.

It's a good idea. Especially that pki signatures are computed after whole

Not really.

Change maximum file size to 10Gb and maximum block size to 2M

You _must_ set all open tapes to used and restart the storage daemon 
when changing the block size. Bacula can't cope with varying maximum 
sizes on a tape

Even with those changes, if you have a lot of small, incompressible 
files you'll see high tape overheads.

It looks like the error arises if the FD does not overwrite some files  
on restore. This confuses the PKI code and subsequent file restore  
fails also. In our case it was a fresh formated NTFS partition with a  
restore with replace=never and the hidden System Volume Information  
stops the restore.

There was also a report some time ago:
http://www.mail-archive.com/bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg50628.html

Should i create a bug report or have i missed something obvious?

Re: [Bacula-users] Extremely Slow Performance on VMware

2012-09-28 Thread Rodrigo Abrantes Antunes

I have a physical machine that is a Vmware ESX node wich hosts only one
vm, the one with bacula-director, bacula-sd and bacula-fd (called
bacula-server), this vm has an RDM with the fibre channel storage where
the volumes partition is mounted. Then I have all my clients (some are
physycal machines and others are vms in other ESX nodes) with bacula-fd
that are backed up. When I manually run a job to backup one of these
clients in bacula-server I can see (with the command htop) that bacula-sd
is using 100% of the cpu, I also noted that the backup starts at around
4MB/s and after some time it is around 300KB/s. If I simple send the same
files to be backed up with scp for example the transfer goes around
100MB/s. The vms don't have vmstat, I use linux own commands.

What kind of files are you backing up? I've seen speeds as low as 0,5
  MB / sec on a more or less idle host which has a gazillion of small
  image files on it. In fact I've needed to split up the backup into
  several sub-jobs to prevent it from running more than 48h or so ;-)

  Also, I've seen jobs which start off incredibly slow only to pick up
  speed near the end... very weird. (bacula version 5.2.6 in this

  Have you checked your mysql tables for a corrupt index on the File

[Bacula-users] HOWTO - FileSet from MD5 to SHA1

2012-09-28 Thread Humphrey Bryant

Hi All,

I want to change the File Signature type encryption from MD5 to SHA1 on 
one of my client FileSet.


Will changing it from MD5 to SHA1 trigger a Full Backup ?
Whats the correct way of doing this?
Should i just change the FileSet encryption from MD5 to SHA1 and restart 
bacula-dir and all will be well ??


Thanks in advance

 It looks like the error arises if the FD does not overwrite some files

 fails also. In our case it was a fresh formated NTFS partition with a

 stops the restore.
 
 There was also a report some time ago:

Re: [Bacula-users] Extremely Slow Performance

2012-09-28 Thread Rodrigo Abrantes Antunes

It's the version that is in ubuntu 10.04 repos and I can't update the
system right now.
   My storage array with raid6 can write up to 400MB/s and trough the
network up to 100MB/s (Gigabit), these speeds were tested and confirmed
and I don't use firewall between bacula-server and clients.
   I din't set spool attributes, can it increase speed? How? Sorry I'm new
to bacula.
   f I simple send the same files to be backed up with scp for example the
transfer goes around 100MB/s, so I don't think I'm using an emulated
storage and network I/O.

  Director: 5.0.1-1ubuntu1
  Storage: 5.0.1-1ubuntu1



It is fairly old version of Bacula. Is it possible to upgrade? 


FD: 5.0.1-1ubuntu1 (some clients have lower version)
  Database: mysqI
  OS: Ubuntu 10.04.4 x64 Server
  FC Storage 4 GBits/s.
  All my network is Gigabit Ethernet.
   


First you have to check if your storage server is able to write  
data to disk fast enough. You can do a test with a simple dd  
if=/dev/zero of=/your-storage-filesystem bs=65536.

 
Second you have to check if you set Spool Attributes = yes in your  
job, if not change it. You'll have to setup a spool directory for  
your device too.

 
Next check a network speed. What is your RTT between client and  
storage daemon? I know it is a 1Gbit, but it is possible that you  
cannot utilize so much. You can test with a simple ftp client. Is it  
possible that you have a Firewall between both servers?

 
Last you have to check a client utilization and filesystem read  
speed. How many small files you have to backup? Every new file to  
backup has its own overhead. Bacula has to find this file, stat it,  
open it, read data from it (with 64k block) and finally close it. If  
you have a 10M files of 1kB then your backup will be much slower  
then 1 file of 10GB. You have to be aware of it. 


One question: can vmware tools have any influence in this case?  
From what I know vmware tools is mainly for better graphics  
performance  isn't it? I din't installed it.



It is possible that without vmware tools you are using an emulated  
storage and network I/O instead of much faster virtualized.

Re: [Bacula-users] Extremely Slow Performance on VMware

2012-09-28 Thread Rodrigo Abrantes Antunes

Citando Rodrigo Abrantes Antunes rodrigoantu...@pelotas.ifsul.edu.br:


I have a physical machine that is a Vmware ESX node wich hosts only  
one vm, the one with bacula-director, bacula-sd and bacula-fd  
(called bacula-server), this vm has an RDM with the fibre channel  
storage where the volumes partition is mounted. Then I have all my  
clients (some are physycal machines and others are vms in other ESX  
nodes) with bacula-fd that are backed up. When I manually run a job  
to backup one of these clients in bacula-server I can see (with the  
command htop) that bacula-sd is using 100% of the cpu, I also noted  
that the backup starts at around 4MB/s and after some time it is  
around 300KB/s. If I simple send the same files to be backed up with  
scp for example the transfer goes around 100MB/s. The vms don't have  
vmstat, I use linux own commands.

One thing I noted now, in the vm htop says that 100% cpu is used and
actually the machine is very slow when backing up so I think this value is
accurate but in VSphere Client in the performance chart it says that the
vm is using only 400Mhz of the 5000Mhz that were allocated, but the node
cpu usage is low so I don't know why it isn't aloccating more MHZ to the
bacula-server.

I installed vmstat, I can't do vmstat during non backup time because it is
currently backing up my mail server, about 200gb, it is doing this for
almost 15h:

vmstat 2 5 during backing-up on the bacula-server (director, storagedaemon)


Re: [Bacula-users] newbie - problem labeling / adding tapes to pool

2012-09-28 Thread Simon Tyler
OK
Hopefully I'm not annoying anyone with my updates.
Here is the latest:

I deleted the 5.2.6 install and installed 5.2.12, like so:

backup the config files etc.
delete all tapes by rewind, writing eof, rewind each one
do a: make uninstall of bacula
make sure that everything is deleted. I did this, and then deleted and
recreated the bacula db, so Everything is wiped
download the latest version and install, configure, used my previous config
files
see how bacula recognizes tapes

And after doing an : barcode label, I'm basically back where I was. Only 4
out of 8 tapes are recognized. At least it's behaving consistently broken.

*status slots
The defined Storage resources are:
 1: File
 2: HP Autoloader
Select Storage resource (1-2): 2
Connecting to Storage daemon HP Autoloader at pmappp01.tpmcomm.com:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger slots command.
Device HP-0 has 8 slots.
Connecting to Storage daemon HP Autoloader at pmappp01.tpmcomm.com:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger list command.
 Slot |   Volume Name|   Status  | Media Type   |
Pool  |
--+--+---+--+|
1*|  | ? |?
|  ? |
2*|  | ? |?
|  ? |
3 | TPMBU001 |Append |LTO-4 |
Default |
4 | TPMBU005 |Append |LTO-4 |

5 | TPMBU007 |Append |LTO-4 |
Default |
6 | TPMBU015 |Append |LTO-4 |
Default |
7*|  | ? |?
|  ? |
8*|  | ? |?
|  ? |

So at this point, I'm not sure what to think. When I do an: update slots
scan, it returns the correct slot and correct Volume name for all tapes in
all slots. I did this before doing a label barcodes, so it seems to be
reading the barcodes (this is after writing eof)

but when I do a label barcodes, it only labels 4 out of 8 tapes. It's like
it only sees 4 slots during this operation.

I'm going to see how backups run over the weekend, hopefully I'll get a
full backup.

I'm wondering if it's possible that a cabling issue could cause this, or
some incompatibility with the controller card. Or 4 tapes went bad at the
same time, but that seems extremely unlikely. I tried the btape test again,
everything passed, even when using one of the 'mystery tapes' so I don't
think it's the tape. When I check the mysql db, it says:
mysql select concat(VolumeName,', ',Slot) from Media;
+--+
| concat(VolumeName,', ',Slot) |
+--+
| TPMBU001, 3  |
| TPMBU005, 4  |
| TPMBU007, 5  |

I'm sure people have had longer battles with bacula, but I'm getting
discouraged. I'm thinking about taking the 4 good tapes out, connecting
the tape drive to the old backup server, and trying backups using the same
bad tapes and slots. That would rule out tapes and slots. any suggestions
much appreciated, bacula is breaking me

At least it's Friday,

Re: [Bacula-users] newbie - problem labeling / adding tapes to pool

Hey Simon,

The output from your status command is not returning the label information for 
the slots.  Do you have another application that you can use to see if the 
autoloader is reading the barcode labels correctly?

The following is what I get if there are no tapes in some slots (extra 
information is coming from BAT):

(slots 8  14 are empty)  If I have new tapes in these slots that have not been 
labeled by bacula(but have barcode labels) I get the following :

Slot 8  14 show the barcode labels for the tapes, but no other information 
because they have not been labeled by bacula yet.

OK
Hopefully I'm not annoying anyone with my updates.
Here is the latest:

I deleted the 5.2.6 install and installed 5.2.12, like so:

backup the config files etc.
delete all tapes by rewind, writing eof, rewind each one
do a: make uninstall of bacula
make sure that everything is deleted. I did this, and then deleted and 
recreated the bacula db, so Everything is wiped
download the latest version and install, configure, used my previous config 
files
see how bacula recognizes tapes

And after doing an : barcode label, I'm basically back where I was. Only 4 out 
of 8 tapes are recognized. At least it's behaving consistently broken.

So at this point, I'm not sure what to think. When I do an: update slots scan, 
it returns the correct slot and correct Volume name for all tapes in all slots. 
I did this before doing a label barcodes, so it seems to be reading the 
barcodes (this is after writing eof)

but when I do a label barcodes, it only labels 4 out of 8
