Hi folks,
we're planning to backup some openstack-based cinder volumes (LVM). I
was wondering if bacula 9 already supports openstack and has some
custom ways of dealing with backup volumes (community edition) or
wether we'd need to roll our own in the form of runbeforejob /
runafterjob scripts...
Hi folks,
I found the answer to my own question: You do in fact seem to have to
delete the extra volume(s) from the pool in question before you can
resize it.
I used "delete volume" for the pool in question, deleting the oldest
one of the bunch, then did another "update pool from resource" and
I just checked our installation (direct-to-tape backup, lto5, LAN
gigabit connectivity), and I'm not seeing any significant performance
issues between windows and Linux clients.
The evidence is naturally anecdotal though as several backups are
running concurrently, but I'm not seeing anything out

Hello Adam,
if you don't mind having to re-label the volume aftwards a
delete volume=
followed by an
mt -f /dev/st0 weof # insert your tape device here
should reliably wipe your tape.

Hi folks,
just a quick question about traffic flow within bacula:
If I configure a 2nd storage daemon on a separate network which
includes a few clients and then run a backup of said client on the
2nd storage daemon, the traffic will not involve the director except for
backup job details (files,
Thanks Heitor!

Hi folks,
I have a set of tapes that I'd like to use in a daily rotation to backup online
disk volumes to tape.
I defined a pool for this like so:

Name = offline_weekly
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 1 year
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes

Hi folks,
I know CentOS6 isn't exactly "hot of the press" anymore but I have a
legacy system that cannot be updated for various reasons.
In order to backup the replacement system which runs bacula client

Hello there,
I often use mysql directly on the bacula catalog to check for old

quite simple if you take a look at the "Media" table structure:

Hello Larry,
did you remember to "update pools" after you made the changes to the
pool definition (maximum volumes) or did you include those from the

shed some light on the issue as well.
What happens if you manually prune /

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but here goes (bacula 11

I don't think these three items that "stat" shows are part of the ACLs, but of
course I could be wrong.
I checked the "File" table

Apparently "touch" can set the access & modification time but there's
no way to set the "changed" timestamp.

Hello Martin,
sorry for being unclear
Hi folks,
I think it's a problem with the query file. Something changed in 11.x
that broke the standard queries I've been using since 5.x or
thereabouts. Maybe you can check the mailing list archives for earlier
posts w/r to that issue, I seem to recall someone posted a patch.

Hi folks,
we recently upgraded one of our clients from Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04 and
re-installed bacula-fd from the official bacula.org repos.
Now it seems our bacula-server (13.0.x) compiled from source on 20.04
cannot initiate a TLS connection to the upgraded client:
09-Nov 10:04 -dir JobId
First of all I'd make sure that you're suffering from file system
issues, check "dmesg" for example for any problems writing to a disk
volume, timeouts or similar.
Once you are sure your FS / disks are ok, you can use the "purge"
command in bconsole and bacula should recycle those affected
Hi folks,
I also upgraded our bacula instances (all four of them, using MariaDB
backends) to 13.0 from 11.0.x, no issues so far. Great work!
All the best & thanks,
Uwe
