Re: [Bacula-users] Q: Bacula for TrueNAS Core?

[Austin C Phelps]

Truenas core plugins are preconfigured jails for a given application. 
Basically, it allows for quick deployment. Truenas core is build on freebsd. In 
freebsd package management is done via freshports. Unlike Linux package 
management, it's not uncommon to find different versions. I noticed freshports 
is more up to date with some applications.

There was a time ix system did maintain a freenas plug in. After converting to 
truenas the amount of plugins has decreased.

To use bacula in truenas core you need to create a jail. You can't install 
freshports outside of a jail in truenas core. Well you shouldn't cause it will 
issues when it's time to upgrade.

We need to commit to terminology as every person can understand different 
questions here.
Bacula has a feature called Plugins which allow Bacula to backup and restore 
different components using these plugins.

So, in my understanding the term: "a Bacula Plugin for TrueNAS Core" means a 
feature for Bacula to be able to backup and restore data (files, configuration, 
etc.) available on your TrueNAS server. This is a case when your TrueNAS box 
flames in fire then you will be able to recover all your data to the new 
TrueNAS box.

But reading on the internet what iX-Systems Plugins are I think it is not what 
I understand with the above term.

TrueNAS is a specialized version of OpenBSD that comes with web-based
UI to ZFS storage subsystem. A plugin is a binary packaged for install
via said UI.

For the record it's FreeBSD, not OpenBSD.

Re: [Bacula-users] Q: Bacula for TrueNAS Core?

[Justin Case]

To be 100% clear: the term “plugin” here is meant in the context of TrueNAS 
Core, so a plugin FOR TrueNAS Core (not a plugin for Bacula).

Good to know, I guess for commercial use.

For my private homelab commercial plugins are out of reach. Or is there such a

In Bacula all such technology has a dedicated plugin which handles all your
concerns very well.
For example you can backup all your VM in a single Host or Cluster with
just one job configuration.
You can even go very Kubernetes way by selecting what containers to backup
using Labels attached to containers when using the Kubernetes plugin with a
single job configuration.

[Bacula-users] Volume (Tapes) go Read-only on mounting

[William Muriithi]

Hello

I have a problem where the tapes I have loaded are going to Read-Only every 
time I have loaded it.

|2*| 04L6 | Read-Only | LTO-6   | windows_regular   
 |

The tapes were already marked ("Recycle |Purged") available for backup when I 
originally loaded them:

william@bacula ~]$ echo 'list media' | bconsole | grep 04L6
| 137 | 04L6   | Read-Only |   1 | 1 |0 |   
 5,184,000 |   1 |0 | 1 | LTO-6 |   2 |0 | 
2022-03-12 13:47:55 |

When I enable debug logging, I see this error:

18-Jun 13:07 eng-backup02-sd JobId 47726: Warning: mount.c:215 Open of Tape 
device "ULTRIUM-HH6" (/dev/nst0) Volume "15L6" failed: ERR=tape_dev.c:170 
Unable to open device "ULTRI
UM-HH6" (/dev/nst0): ERR=Read-only file system

This is on all tapes that I have plugged to this system.  This system has 
already been working previously, so configuration is likely correct.  The media 
changer doesn't show any error on the LCD, and mount and dismount tapes fine.

What would be the next step in debugging here?

Regards,
William

Re: [Bacula-users] Q: ConnectToDirector not working as documented for FD Director directive

[Justin Case]

The Debian FDs are 9.x, the DIR and SD are 11.x.
It is just 1 Debian FD that needs ConnectToDirector, so I guess I just need to 
upgrade the FD on this one host.

Re: [Bacula-users] Q: ConnectToDirector not working as documented for FD Director directive

[Josh Fisher]

Debs are available from the www.bacula.org website. You can build from 
source. I'm not sure what version is in the normal Debian repositories, 
but I think it must be older than 11.0. You can see the version by 
running bacula-fd -? from the command line. But to use the 
ConnectToDirector feature, you will have to upgrade to version 11.x on 
all clients and Director and Storage daemons.

Re: [Bacula-users] Beta Release 11.3.4

[Dieter Scheinkönig]

Hi all,

I'm new to Bacula and would love to have the Debian Packages repository 
after https://bacula.org/packages/6 for using it.

Since 6th June I get told the repository is getting upgraded.

Does it always take so long?

11.0.6 is the current *stable* version of Bacula.

11.3.4 is the last beta version of the next major release 13.0.0.

9.6.7 is the previous stable version of Bacula.

Hope it helps!

Hello,

We are pleased to announce the new BETA release of the next major 
Bacula
version 11.3.4 to both the Bacula website (www.bacula.org) and to 
SourceForge.

Thanks for the valuable feedback.

https://www.bacula.org/downloads/Beta-Bacula-11.3.4

This is the last beta version of the new 13.0 major release with 
many new
features and a number of changes. Please take care to test this 
code carefully
before putting it into production.  Although the new features have 
been tested,

they have not run in a production environment.

We had a service outage this week and some of the bacula services 
are still not
fully recovered (cdash, wiki, packages). It should be resolved 
next week.


Compatibility:
--
As always, both the Director and Storage daemon(s) must be 
upgraded at
the same time. Any File daemon running on the same machine as a 
Director

or Storage daemon must be of the same version.

Older File Daemons should be compatible with the 11.3 Director and 
Storage

daemons.  There should be no need to upgrade older File Daemons.

New Catalog format in version 11.3.0 and greater


This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format.  We provide a 
set of scripts
that permit conversion from 9.x and earlier versions to the new 
11.3 format

(1025).  Normally the conversion/upgrade is fast.

Keep in mind that there is a big change from 9.x to 11.0 that 
takes longer than
usual, the upgrade process will require about twice the disk space 
of the

actual database.

If you start from scratch, you don't need to run the 
update_bacula_tables
script because the create_bacula_tables script automatically 
creates the new
table format.  However, if you are using a version of Bacula older 
than 5.0.0
(e.g.  3.0.3) then you need to run the update_bacula_tables script 
that will be
found in the /src/cats directory after you run the 
./configure command.


As mentioned above, before running this script, please backup your 
catalog
database, be sure to shutdown Bacula and be aware that running the 
script can

take some time depending on your database size.

Thanks for using Bacula!

Best Regards,
Eric
