There are two interfaces available now: S3 and Azure. :)


I presume you mean they are available on the commercial version. Is 
there any news on it coming to the community version?

I wonder if you have to run "update volume maxvolbytes=NNN" in bconsole
in order for it to apply to existing volume. I'm pretty sure "Maximum
Volume Bytes = 4980736" worked on 5.x here (I'm on v.7 now).

I just did - unfortunately, with no effect. After restarting the
director and letting the backup job run manually, the backup file just
got even bigger.

I'm rather reluctant to use software "outside" of my distribution's
repository. I /could/ upgrade from Debian Jessie to Debian Stretch,
which would come with Bacula v7.4.4, but since this update will cause a
lot of work because of other interdependencies (independent of Bacula),
I'm postponing this for the moment.


Regards

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian, try to change the

Maximum Volume Bytes = 500MB

To

Maximum Volume Bytes = 5

I also recommend to upgrade to version 9.x

[Bacula-users] Backup to file, filesize limit not working

[Sebastian Suchanek]

Hi all!

Currently, I'm trying to set up and getting familiar with Bacula.
(v5.2.6 - that's the version that comes with my Linux distribution
Debian Jessie.)

For making backups of the Bacula catalog, I've made the following
configurations:

- bacula-sd.conf --
[...]
Device {
  Name = FileStorage
  Media Type = File
  Archive Device = /srv/bacula/file
  LabelMedia = yes
  Random Access = yes
  AutomaticMount = yes
  RemovableMedia = no
  AlwaysOpen = no
}
[...]
---

- bacula-dir.conf -
[]
Job {
  Name = "BackupCatalog"
  JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
  Level = Full
  FileSet="Catalog"
  Schedule = "WeeklyCycleAfterBackup"
  RunBeforeJob = "/etc/bacula/scripts/make_catalog_backup.pl MyCatalog"
  RunAfterJob  = "/etc/bacula/scripts/delete_catalog_backup"
  Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/%n.bsr"
  Priority = 11
}

Schedule {
  Name = "WeeklyCycleAfterBackup"
  Run = Full sun-sat at 20:10
}

FileSet {
  Name = "Catalog"
  Include {
Options {
  signature = MD5
}
File = "/var/lib/bacula/bacula.sql"
  }
}

Storage {
  Name = File
  Address = localhost
  SDPort = 9103
  Password = "xIOrJZDj98rAAfP3S_dN8ipaa6RbxCkV9"
  Device = FileStorage
  Media Type = File
}

Pool {
  Name = File
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
  Volume Retention = 365 days
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 500MB
  Maximum Volumes = 10
  LabelFormat = "file"
}
---

With this configuration, I would expect that Bacula writes the jobs to a
file "file" in /srv/bacula/file and, as soon as this file's size
reaches 500MB, creates a new file and continues with that. (Up to ten
files.) But instead, Bacula keeps writing to a single file, which
currently has grown to around 690MB, IOW well above 500MB.
What's going wrong here? How can I make Bacula create a new file once
the current file's size has reached 500MB?


Regards

Sebastian

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula asking for tape that is already loaded

[Ryan Butler]

Disabling the tape made it pick a different tape, which did work. Thanks!

It could be a damaged tape. You can disable the volume in bconsole. This will 
force Bacula to select another tape. If the job runs OK with another tape, then 
it is likely a bad tape.

tape drive and the Bacula server, the tape’s status is “Recycle” with the 
Recycle flag set to 1.

I’ve tried doing a mount:

*mount storage=LTO4 slot=1
3001 OK mount requested. Specified slot ignored. Device="LTO4" (/dev/nst0)

It ignores it since slot 1 (the slot that has the tape it wants) is already 
loaded in the drive. I’ve tried moving the tape out of the drive and back into 
the slot, and re-running the job, which will load the proper tape and then give 
me the same error.

List media shows this for that tape:

VolRetention | Recycle | Slot | InChanger | MediaType | LastWritten |
|   9,850 | DK6452L4   | Recycle|   1 |   1 |0 |
5,184,000 |   1 |1 | 1 | LTO4  | 2017-07-25 02:33:25 |

I’ve tried changing the volume’s status to “Append” instead of recycle with no 
change in results.

Running Bacula version 7.0.5.

Any ideas? I can’t fathom what it wants me to do, since the tape is currently 
loaded in the drive. Thanks!
