That's the way I normally run BAT and there are no error messages just the 
missing
taskbar.

[Bacula-users] VF failing with zero files

2019-09-30 Thread Lloyd Brown
Hi, all.

I may be misunderstanding (or misconfiguring) something again.  I'm
hoping someone can explain it to me.

I'm trying to set up a progressive virtual full scheme.  But in several
instances, the incrementals that would be consolidated by the VF, are
empty, meaning that the VF is failing with errors like this:

> 30-Sep 08:25 backup-dir JobId 221077: Start Virtual Backup JobId
> 221077, Job=zhome_sw.2019-09-30_08.25.06_37

Now this is correct.  While there are files in the initial full, there
are indeed zero files in those subsequent incrementals.  But why is that
a fatal condition?

The result of this being a fatal error, is that my existing full remains
at its original date/time  Therefore, it will eventually reach the
retention period age, and be pruned.  Then I have to start over with a
complete, non-Virtual Full again, and lose a few months of backup
history that would otherwise be usable.

If there's a way of changing this behavior via config file, that would
be great (current config example attached).

I do also have a workaround in mind.  I'm just trying to understand if
I've done something wrong, and if not, what the reasoning was about this
being a fatal error.  It was certainly unexpected.

This is running on Bacula 9.4.3.

Thanks,

Lloyd

It doesn't actually spray random bits, just checks to see if it can connect
to the TCP port, then immediately disconnects. It's a basic check to see if
the director process has crashed or locked up. I set this up because it
used to do that pretty regularly, but fortunately the more recent versions
have been pretty stable. I was actually a little surprised that bacula
considers it an error (as opposed to, say, a debug-level message) when a
connection is made without sending any commands; most other daemons I'm
familiar with ignore that sort of thing.

BTW, regardless of what I do the central IT department here runs
vulnerability scans on my subnet every so often, so this is going to happen
from time to time anyway.

HTTP is a little different because it's an open protocol. Bacula's protocol
is proprietary and AFAIK not intended for random "unofficial" clients to
connect to, so writing a more "correct" test would be tricky. I guess I
could write some kind of script with bconsole, but that's heavier and has
its own pitfalls.

No. I really mean: to execute the bat binary from the Linux X terminal so he 
can see the errors and debug messages, and post it here.

Do you perhaps mean, use bconsole in a terminal rather than using bat?

IMHO it would be of tremendous help you you run BAT over a terminal, even 
better if in debug mode.

[Bacula-users] BAT taskbar gone.

2019-09-30 Thread Erik P. Olsen
What happened? The taskbar on my BAT window has disappeared and I can't see how 
to get it
back again.

I'm on bacula 9.4.4 and I would be more than happy if someone could tell me how 
to get
the taskbar back.
