Thanks to all that answered.
I'll reply here collectively.



@Matlink

Why don't you have a single machine name, i.e. sd.mydomain.it, but resolving to 
a different IP address depending on the network you're in?


This LAN I inherited is a mess.
I thought about playing with DNS, but this is going to be unreliable.
E.g. there are machines which are joined to different AD domains which 
don't exist here (probably they were just physically transferred to this 
building and network cable plugged in, without any reconfiguration); 
they will insist in adding their own suffixes and I cannot reconfigure 
them properly now.




@Pedro

Please could you check the configuration directive fdstorageaddress in the 
client


This is probably what I should have used.
Thanks.



However, my most important question was: given I configured a single SD 
with three different HDD-based storage, is it normal that one of them 
can get stuck (with clients on the affected VLAN all "waiting on Storage 
"), while the others are working?


Is this a bug? I remeber I had something like this in the past (but with 
13.x and only two storages) and it worked.

Or is this NOT supposed to work?

 bye & Thanks

[Bacula-users] bacula tray monitor

[Stipe Tabak]

Hello,
I'm configuring tray monitor to make client initiated backup.
But when I click Run and select the Director I get a pop up saying "The 
restricted console does not have access to Backup jobs".

Is this limitation of community version or configuration mistake.
Thanks.
Bye.

Re: [Bacula-users] Multiple interfaces for storage daemon

[Jose Alberto]

FdStorageAddress: sd.a.mydomain.it;   (config on dir.conf)

My case:
LAN1 Server   192.168.5.0/24   (DIR, SD-TS3200-LAN1, FD-LAN1+N1)

LAN2 Server192.168.7.0/24  (SD-TS3200-LAN2, FD-LAN2+N1)

My SD  have 2 interfaces   192.168.5.5  (eth1)  and  192.168.7.5 (eth0)

On Server of LAN2. add client (dir)  FdStorageAddress:  192.168.7.5

The Traffic:   FD-LAN2   === SDrun  for  192.168.7.0/24

I have this strategy applied but point by point. Backup 3TB in less than 4
hours. RMAN-Oracle.

Example:  SD   10.20.5.4 FD:   10.20.5.5   (point to point).

I am currently evaluating   FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet)

I understand that Bacula Enterprise does not even work with Fiber backup
(SCSI) like DataProtector does.

One option is to handle FC over TCPIP

[Bacula-users] Multiple interfaces for storage daemon

[Andrea Venturoli]

Hello.

I'm deploying a completely new installation and I'm both facing some new 
problems to solve and using 15.x for the first time, so I'm not sure if 
I'm doing things wrong or if Bacula is misbehaving.






First problem: clients are spread across three different VLANS.
While I only have one storage daemon, listening on all interfaces, 
clients will need to contact it through different addresses.

I.e.
_ clients in VLAN 1 need to use sd.a.mydomain.it;
_ clients in VLAN 2 need to use sd.b.mydomain.it;
_ clients in VLAN 3 need to use sd.c.mydomain.it.

I found no way of doing this without declaring three "Storage" resources 
in bacula-dir.conf.

Is this the best way to do this? Or are there better alternatives?

As a consequence of the above, I declared three "Device"s in bacula-sd 
(since this is an HD-based storage, I just made three different 
directories).

Again, is this the best way to do this?

It's more or less working, but the SD will often hang with one "Device" 
or two working and the third stuck (with clients on the affected VLAN 
all "waiting on Storage ").
Is this a bug that I need to investigate or am I just using the SD in a 
way that it's not supposed to work?


Should I let three different SD run?
(This would somewhat complicate management, but I can't think of any 
stopper).






Aside, I've always done backups in sequence (one at a time); alas the 
number of clients and amount of data in this installation require that I 
start doing them in parallel.


If I understand correctly, doing multiple jobs in parallel on one SD 
means that data from different clients will be interleaved in a single 
volume.

Is this correct?
Since I'd like to have one job per volume, is there any way to have a 
single SD/device open multiple volumes at once?


The above configuration (three Devices) allows me to do at least three 
jobs in parallel (one per VLAN) without interleaving data.

However, is this supported or am I just asking for troubles?



 bye & Thanks
av.

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula-fd appearing to use wrong storage server

[gaston.gloesener--- via Bacula-users]

Thanks man 

You nailed it down. I did comment out this setting and it worked immediately. I 
did completely overlooked this before.

I have now removed it form all my client files and also the template that is 
used by my client auto-install script.

Many thanks,
Gaston

Hello Gaston,


I am re-sending this since the last one I sent I had included a screenshot 
which will not translate well for search engines, etc...

The problem had pointed out in the screenshot was that it looks like you are 
using the `FDStorageAddress` setting in this client. I believe this is causing 
your issue.:

If this is not it, we will look a little deeper. :)

Hello Gaston,

A bconsole `show job=` will show what the Director knows about this job.

It is quite possible, and my guess that one of two possible things has happened:

#1: You forgot to issue the bconsole reload command
#2: The Director has reached its default configuration reload limit of 32 and 
is no longer reloading


You can check with:

* status director

...and look at the header line:

`Daemon started 24-Apr-24 18:55, conf reloaded 24-Apr-2024 18:55:27`

If the `conf reloaded` time is not recent, then you have hit #2 above and 
simply need to restart the Director.


Hope this helps,
Bill

It would be useful to see the bacula-dir.conf Job and Client resources for
this job and also the full job log.

So you are not referring to VSS, but any backup created by Bacula, right?
You are concerned that Bacula creates a Bacula Volume or Volumes, where all
backups are stored. Is this what you want to avoid?
It is not about VSS, but how Bacula stores its backups?

A simple question is no. You can't create a fully working, platform
independent backup without using Volume files (which are basically archive
files like zip, tar, etc.). A single file backup includes multiple data
streams for this file: metadata, data, acl data, xattr data, resource
forks, encryption data, deduplication references, etc. Bacula Volume can
store all different backup streams in a single file you can copy elsewhere
having all data you require for full recovery. Even a billion files can be
saved in the single volume in the space efficient, optimal way.
OTOH, why do you need to avoid Bacula Volume? This volume is like tar or
zip, and people do your backups with it without complaints.

Not true. A single file (volume) has advantages on disks too: it is a
single directory entry, faster throughput on both write and read, space
efficient especially for small files, platform independent, support
multiple streams and distinct attributes for single file, easy and fast
copy to different location or machine, etc.
An advantage one could think of is that a restore from directory tree
archive could be faster for a multi-terabyte backup when you need to
restore a single small file. But Bacula keeps track of every file archived
in volume (some kind of indexing) and such restore takes almost no time as
Bacula can seek to the required location and read from there - for every
distinct file. So, no advantage at all.

[Bacula-users] bacula-fd appearing to use wrong storage server

[gaston.gloesener--- via Bacula-users]

Until now I did run bacula in a virtual machine running the director and 
storage deamon. The storage daemon was stroing data to files on a shared 
directory as the storage is on a NAS.

 

Now I have build bacula-sd for the NAS to avoid this duplicate transfer. I have 
configured one client to use the new storage but while it uses it, it claims to 
still contact the “old” storage daemon on the bacula node.

 

Using bacula 13.0.4

 

Here is the storage definition in bacula-dir.conf (vTape1 is the original 1, 
vTape2 the new one): 

Storage {

  Name = "vTape1"

  SdPort = 9103

  Address = "bacula.home "

  Password = "…deleted…"

  Device = "vChanger1"

  MediaType = "vtape1"

  Autochanger = "vTape1"

  MaximumConcurrentJobs = 2

}

Storage {

  Name = "vTape2"

  SdPort = 9103

  Address = "nas1.home "

  Password = "…deleted…"

  Device = "vChanger2"

  MediaType = "vtape2"

  Autochanger = "vTape2"

  MaximumConcurrentJobs = 2

}

 

The client pool definition looks now like:

 

Pool {

  Name = "james1-Full-Pool"

  Description = "Pool for client james1 full backups"

  PoolType = "Backup"

  LabelFormat = "james1-full-"

  MaximumVolumeJobs = 1

  MaximumVolumeBytes = 200

  VolumeRetention = 8726400

  Storage = "vTape2"

  Catalog = "MyCatalog"

}

 

I have tried a manual and the scheduled job with same result:

The job log on the director confirms:

So correct storage but bad server. Note that vTape 2 has always been pointing 
to nas1 (not bacula) and the director (as well as james1-fd and both storage 
deamons) was restarted several times

 

The storage daemon on nas1 reports only a connection from the director, the ip

     The error is at the end of the page, where it says that you
     can see how
     much space is being used using 'df -h', but the problem is
     that df can't
     actually see the space gain from dedup, it shows how much
     would be used
     without dedup.


     This command (df -h) shows how much allocated and free space is
     available on the filesystem. So when you have a dedup ratio 20:1,
     and you wrote 20TB, then your df command shows 1TB allocated.


     But that is the exact problem I had. df did NOT show 1TB
     allocated. It indicated 20TB allocated (yes, in ZFS).

I have not used ZFS Dedup for a long time (I'm a ZFS user from the
first beta in Solaris), so I'm curious - if your zpool is 2TB in size
and you have a 20:1 dedup ratio with 20TB saved and 1TB allocated
then what df shows for you?
Something like this?
Size: 2TB
Used: 20TB
Avail: 1TB
Use%: 2000%


No, the values are quite different. I wrote 20tb to stay with the
example previously given. My actual numbers are:

df: 2,9TB used
zpool list: 862GB used, 3.4x dedup level.
Actual partition size: 7.2TB


You use zpool list to examine filespace.
Or zfs list.


On FreeBSD at least, zfs list will show the same as df (i.e. will include all
copies of the deduplicated data in the USED column).

I think the reason is that deduplication is done at the pool level, so there
is no single definition of which dataset owns each deduplicated block.  As a
result, the duplicates have to be counted multiple times.  This is different
from a cloned dataset, where the original dataset owns any blocks that are
shared.
That's correct, zfs list gives the logical filespace in use.  Sorry.


If you do "zfs get used,compressratio filesystem" then you can play with 
the values returned...

On FreeBSD at least, zfs list will show the same as df (i.e. will include all
copies of the deduplicated data in the USED column).

I think the reason is that deduplication is done at the pool level, so there
is no single definition of which dataset owns each deduplicated block.  As a
result, the duplicates have to be counted multiple times.  This is different
from a cloned dataset, where the original dataset owns any blocks that are
shared.

No, the Size will say 21TB in that situation (on FreeBSD at least).

Re: [Bacula-users] VSS

[Lionel PLASSE]

If you know where your vhd file is, just create a single FileSet and schedule 
it .
Look at a WindowsImageBackup using VSS and how it is composed  : it contains 
vhdx file.
So You juste have to create a FileSet specifiying the correct dir of your vhdx 
for example
But You have to know that you cannot access to the Bacula volume file directly, 
you have to restore the entire file before using it.  But it is not pertinent 
for me.
Bacula is Linux oriented so file oriented, so it's a quite different for 
windows. (system state, recovery point etc.). to back-up file and to back-up 
System state is not the same for windows.

Hi

Thanks for your reply

This makes sense, and is what i could make work, guess i could do a PS script 
to make a VSS snapshot of files i need, save it in file and have bacula backup 
that file instead of using bacula doing a VSS backup of iles But question is, 
is it possiple to get bacula to backup the .vhd file as a separate file ?? Do u 
have an example conf file you can share or some documentation on the net??

Re: [Bacula-users] VSS

[Lionel PLASSE]

For me vss make a snapshot of a volume, like in hyper-v virtual disk. This 
shnapshot vor windows is a virtual disk file like .vhd (or .vdi). So you can 
mount this volume file a work with files in the snapshot. 

So with Bacula to use vss agent you have to make a vss backup with vss agent by 
windows and backup this vss snapshot file into Bacula to do what you want if a 
understand well.

bacula deals with the C VSS API, as you would in powershell, it does not 
directly save the VSS result but uses the API functions to read the snapshot 
and recover the files stopped at a given time.

I have not used ZFS Dedup for a long time (I'm a ZFS user from the first
beta in Solaris), so I'm curious - if your zpool is 2TB in size and you
have a 20:1 dedup ratio with 20TB saved and 1TB allocated then what df
shows for you?
Something like this?
Size: 2TB
Used: 20TB
Avail: 1TB
Use%: 2000%

You do not need any vss tools to make VSS backup with Bacula. Bacula will
handle all for you.

What does it mean "save it as it is" - I'm not familiar with VSS internal
nor advanced usage.
What do you need to do?

HI

Thanks for taking the time to answer, but that was actualy not the question
I am aware that VSS is for copying files that maybe in Use in windows 
env., As i said most of our backup is from machines which are windows, 
both server and client


My question is if it possible to get bacula to not put a VSS backup in a 
volume(which makes it impossible to restore if by VSS tools if something 
happens to the bacula server), rather save it as it is, that is a 
sperate file, readable by teh VSS system

[Bacula-users] Question about CDP

[Jose Alberto]

Hi.

I understand that CDP is a copy that is cached in the same FD and that it
can be restored without the need to request a Restore from the Bacula
administrator?

Being the native JOB that saves the data in the SD?

I still think that if the user's PC burns down. It depends on a direct
restore from Bacula. he he.

Re: [Bacula-users] Baculum error with 15.0.2 catalog Pg

[Marcin Haba]

Hello Jose,

Yes, this Baculum from Bullseye repository is a bit older and not adapted
to Bacula 15.

As you could notice, Bacularis is a better choice for that. It has been
prepared and well tested with Bacula version 15.

The general idea of Bacularis for supported Bacula versions is to help
users stop thinking in a way: "Which Bacularis version should I use with
which Bacula version?". It is something that in Bacularis we would like to
avoid. It works with all Bacula versions starting from 9 up till latest.
So, if somebody has a relatively modern Bacula environment, he/she can
always take the latest Bacularis and be sure that it will work.

Best regards,
Marcin Haba (gani)

Yes, that is how df works with ZFS unfortunately (it doesn't know about
dedup).  See also

This command (df -h) shows how much allocated and free space is available
on the filesystem. So when you have a dedup ratio 20:1, and you wrote 20TB,
then your df command shows 1TB allocated.
Yes, zpool list shows you the exact Dedup ratio achieved without additional
checking or counting. But this command (as mentioned by Heitor) will work
with ZFS only.
Aligned volumes can be used with external deduplication appliances where
zpool command is unavailable. Then you can quickly check with the df -h
command.

This command (df -h) shows how much allocated and free space is 
available on the filesystem. So when you have a dedup ratio 20:1, and 
you wrote 20TB, then your df command shows 1TB allocated.


But that is the exact problem I had. df did NOT show 1TB allocated. It 
indicated 20TB allocated (yes, in ZFS).

Yes zpool listed all the information properly, both the actually 
allocated space and the dedup ratio, and as I said, in ZFS, df is not 
showing the correct information (in an Ubuntu 22.04 and ZFS environment).


Thank you,

Roberto

[Jose Alberto]

Have you tried the Direct point-to-point connection Tape <==> server ?

That is, without going through the SAN switch.

You must discard the ZONE configuration on the SAN switch.

This error ERR=Input/output error has only occurred to me when the Drive
(by license) is Read Only. It happened to me with a Drive from an ORACLE
robot.

Or when the tape is damaged.

[Bacula-users] VSS

[Mehrdad Ravanbod]

Hi

I am new to bacula, trying to set up a test system for backup of a mixed 
linux and Windows env. (Mostly Windows, server and desktops)


I have gotten it to work more or less, a few issues to work out. One is 
bout VSS, which i assume most people use when doing backups from windows


It seems that the VSS copies are saved inside Volumes, which makes 
impossible to read them indiviualy if something happens to the bacula 
server,  it is there a way to get these snapshots to be saved as 
files(which could be read with the VSS tools? or not


If yes, how is it configured??

Why not migrate the LTO-2 volumes to disk, then install whatever version

As a rule of thumb, LTO drives can write to one previous generation of 
tapes and read from two previous generations of tapes. (There are some 
exceptions for LTO8 and LTO9.)

machines while still maintaining the ability to read (and hopefully

LTO2 tapes can be read by LTO2, LTO3 and LTO4 drives and written by LTO2 
and LTO3 drives.

Re: [Bacula-users] advice about tape drives

[Rob Gerber]

Alan,

>From the Wikipedia article on LTO:


   - Up to and including LTO-7, an Ultrium drive *can read* data from a
   cartridge in its own generation and the two prior generations. LTO-8 drives
   can read LTO-7 and LTO-8 tape, but not LTO-6 tape.[29]
   
   [30]
   

   [31]
   

   - An Ultrium drive *can write* data to a cartridge in its own generation
   and to a cartridge from the one prior generation *in the prior
   generation's format*.
   - Some LTO-8 drives may write previously unused LTO-7 tapes with an
   increased, uncompressed capacity of 9 TB (*Type M (M8)*).[32]
    Only
   new, unused LTO-7 cartridges may be initialized as LTO-7 Type M. Once a
   cartridge is initialized as Type M it may not be changed back to a 6 TB
   LTO-7 cartridge. LTO-7 Type M cartridges are only initialized to Type M in
   an LTO-8 drive. LTO-7 drives are not capable of reading LTO-7 Type M
   cartridges.[33]
   
   - An Ultrium drive *cannot make any use* of a cartridge from a more
   recent generation. For example, an LTO-2 cartridge can never be used by an
   LTO-1 drive; and even though it can be used in an LTO-3 drive, it performs
   as if it were in an LTO-2 drive.

So based on that, I'd guess that LTO 4 is the highest version of LTO
technology you could make use of with your requirement to be able to read
LTO 2 media.

I do have an alternative suggestion however: what if you purchased a drive
newer than LTO 4, and either used your LTO 3 drive to read any LTO 2 media
as needed, OR used migrate jobs to migrate the backups off those LTO 2
tapes to the newer media type?

Just fyi, a migrate or copy job type requires two devices be simultaneously
available, a read device and a write device. So you'd have to have the
ability to connect two LTO drives at once to your system, or maybe would
have to migrate tape data to a file volume, them migrate the file volumes
to the new LTO standard. I don't know how complex it would be to migrate
LTO volumes to disk volumes, then migrate those disk volumes back to the
newer LTO tapes. I think it should be feasible in theory.

I don't have practical experience with migrate / copy jobs, or LTO variants
below 8. Just fyi. Others here may be able to provide more information
about migrate / copy jobs, or about your choice of hardware.

[Bacula-users] advice about tape drives

[Alan Polinsky]

I have used Bacula for many years, since version 5. In the past, I have 
mentioned my two Nas's along with various Windows and Linux machines get 
backed up on a nightly basis to tape. Currently that tape drive is an 
LTO3 based drive. Some of the older backups are on LTO2 tapes. My tape 
drive is starting to show its age, and within a period of time it will 
have to be replaced. (Since I am a retired programmer on a fixed income, 
cost, as always becomes an issue.) I need to understand the backward 
capabilities of more recent drives. How high could I go with LTO based 
machines while still maintaining the ability to read (and hopefully 
write) those old LTO2 tapes?



Thank you everyone for your help.

[Bacula-users] New release Bacularis 2.8.0

[Marcin Haba]

Hello Everybody,

We are glad to let you know that we released a new Bacularis version 2.8.0.
It is a new feature and bug fix release. We introduced a couple of
improvements for using the backup file list function like finding the
largest or the newest files in backup. Besides that we added new deployment
OS profiles for Ubuntu 24.04 Noble and Fedora 40 to enable easily deploying
Bacularis and Bacula components to remote hosts with these systems.

On the bug fixes side, we fixed bugs reported by the Community.

New functions in 2.8.0:
 - Top 10 backup files function: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny1pDIwZnD0

Useful links:
 Release announcement:
https://bacularis.app/news/80/36/New-release-Bacularis-2.8.0
 Documentation: https://bacularis.app/doc
 Online demo: https://demo.bacularis.app

As always binary packages 2.8.0 for popular Linux distributions are
available already in the package repositories. Docker container images
2.8.0 are available in the Docker Hub repositories.

Happy using.

On behalf of the Bacularis Team

[Bacula-users] IBM TS3500 LTO7 ULT3580-TD7 Sense Key : Data Protect [current] Add. Sense: Operator selected write protect

[Heitor Faria]

Dear Bacula Users,



I wonder if someone had faced a similar problem that have been haunting me for 
weeks and I found no exact similar case on the internet.

This partitioned tape library with two drivers for the Bacula machine cannot 
perform a weof diretcly:



[root@localhost Device]# mt -f /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35005076044064c01-nst weof
/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35005076044064c01-nst: Input/output error
mt: The tape is write-protected.




And the dmesg displays the error:



[Thu Apr 18 17:32:01 2024] st 14:0:0:0: [st0] Sense Key : Data Protect [current]
[Thu Apr 18 17:32:01 2024] st 14:0:0:0: [st0] Add. Sense: Operator selected 
write protect




However, if we do an eod before weof, it displays no error.



[root@localhost Device]# mt -f /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35005076044064c01-nst eod
[root@localhost Device]# mt -f /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35005076044064c01-nst weof




But still, I cannot use the tape with Bacula, or test it with btape:



[root@localhost Device]# /opt/bacula/bin/btape  
/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35005076044064c01-nst
Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes.
btape: butil.c:296-0 Using device: "/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35005076044064c01-nst" 
for writing.
btape: btape.c:475-0 open device "Drive-0" 
(/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35005076044064c01-nst): OK
*label
Enter Volume Name: test
btape: block.c:301-0 [SE0201] Write error at 0:0 on device "Drive-0" 
(/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35005076044064c01-nst) Vol=test. ERR=Input/output error.
18-Apr 17:39 btape JobId 0: Error: block.c:301 [SE0201] Write error at 0:0 on 
device "Drive-0" (/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35005076044064c01-nst) Vol=test. 
ERR=Input/output error.




And the same dmesg Data Protect message appears. 

The curious thing is we are able to write and restore some files using tar 
using the same drive, but only if we manually move the tape:



[root@localhost Device]# tar cvf /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35005076044064c01-nst 
/etc/resolv.conf
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
/etc/resolv.conf

tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
[root@localhost Device]# mt -f /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35005076044064c01-nst bsf 2

[root@localhost Device]# tar tvf /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35005076044064c01-nst
-rw-r--r-- root/root        74 2024-04-18 16:24 etc/resolv.conf




mt status as follows:



[root@localhost Device]# mt -f /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35005076044064c01-nst status
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=20, block number=1, partition=0.
Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x5c (LTO-7).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (101):
 ONLINE IM_REP_EN




The tapes are new, LTO7 such as the drive, the red read-only physical tape 
switches are open, no encryption is used by the drivers.

We already tried two different OSes with the same behavior. Ubuntu and Rocky 
Linux.

There are no relevant tape library error logs.

Any hints?

Re: [Bacula-users] Fix documentation on deduplication

[Heitor Faria]

Hello Roberto,



This guide was written by me, and it is not part of the bacula.org project.

That said, the step-by-step deployment was made using ddumbfs, despite the fact 
I briefly mention that ZFS could also be used.

Subject: [Bacula-users] Fix documentation on deduplication

Hy,

I've installed a bacula system using ZFS deduplication in an Ubuntu 22.4
server, and one thing that made me lose a lot of time is that there is
an error in the documentation, more specifically on this page:

https://www.bacula.lat/community/block-level-file-system-deduplication-with-aligned-volumes-tutorial-bacula-9-0-8-and-above/?lang=en

The same page is available in Portuguese, with the same problem, in the
following address:

https://www.bacula.lat/community/dedup-alinhado/

The error is at the end of the page, where it says that you can see how
much space is being used using 'df -h', but the problem is that df can't
actually see the space gain from dedup, it shows how much would be used
without dedup.

After some search, I found in the chapter 1.7 of
'https://bacula.org/whitepapers/DedupVolumes.pdf' that the proper
command for checking dedup usage in ZFS is 'zpool list', and that
command did show that dedup was working properly.

These are my outputs with the two commands:

user@bacula2:~$ df -h

So, could someone please correct the two above mentioned pages? It would
avoid others from having the same problem.

Thank you,

Re: [Bacula-users] Backup from windows

[Mehrdad Ravanbod]

Thanks Rob,

appreciate the answer, some very interesting, how ever my main problem 
is that part of the back needs to be done via the Bacuka Windows agent
if i understand the documentation correctly, the windows agent is the 
only way to do backups via VSS on a windows machine so that the ACL 
attributes of windows files and folders can be preserved
Or have i missunderstood?? Is it possible to mount shares to the Liux 
server and still use VSS and preserve the ACL attribues and back up to 
another mounted windows share??


BTW, i forgot to mention that i am using Bacula community version for 
the testing, I will go for the enterprise version if i can show that 
Bacula can do what we need but the free period of Bacula enterprise is 
simply too short to do something that convinces management



Sincerely /Mehrdad

Oh!

One thing I forgot to mention: if you do not define the file, job, or 
volume retention periods, this does not mean that everything will be 
retained forever. Instead, bacula uses the default retention periods 
(I think they are 365 days, not sure).


Any volume or job retention period specified in a pool resource 
overrides the volume or job retention periods specified elsewhere.

Mehrdad,

I don't know if I can help with all of your questions but I have
some information for you.

I back up samba shares for a machine that I cannot get shell
access onto. The only way for me to access the files on this Nas
is via smb. For this case, on the bacula server, I have mounted
the relevant shares read only. I have a run-before script defined
for my backup job, which script runs basically
mountpoint -q /mnt/sharename || mount /mnt/sharename

This ensures that my smb targets are mounted. If mountpoint exits
>0 (error, nothing mounted there), it tries to mount the shares.
If the mount command fails, it exists > 0 (fails), and the script
then exits > 0. The job then ends with an error code and doesn't
proceed further. This is the desired behavior since I don't want
bacula to back up an empty mount folder and happily report success.

My mountpoint script lists each of the relevant shares that are
included in my fileset.

By default, bacula backs up to file volumes, which you could think
of as virtual tapes. The default configuration includes setup to
write the catalog backup to said file volumes. I don't use file
volumes (yet), so I can't help much there. However, I would
suggest you examine the default configuration and adapt it to your
needs. Probably add new pool resources, etc for your file volumes,
so the catalog backup infrastructure isn't changed or mixed in
with your regular backups.

Let's say a volume (whether tape or file volume) has aged out of
whatever file, job, and volume retention periods are defined.
However, the tape isn't in an autochanger, the file volume is read
only or has been copied elsewhere, volume recycling is disabled,
etc. Basically, the catalog entries for the volume in question
have been removed from the database, so bacula has no knowledge of
what could be on that volume, and bacula has been prevented from
reusing the volume. In this case, you can use the bacula bscan
tool to read the volume and see what data is stored on it.

You may notice I provided many caveats to the above hypothetical
situation. This is because while I could fairly easily withhold a
tape from bacula for archive purposes merely by refusing to insert
it into the tape library, withholding a file volume is more
complicated. In any case, operating within defined retention
periods is better, so perhaps what you could do is have an archive
pool and job definition and use copy or migrate jobs to move or
copy an existing job into that pool. I think the existing
retention period might apply there, so maybe that would be better
than manually copying a file volume and then bscanning it later.
In any case, the idea is to work within bacula to define an
increased retention period for a certain job instead of seeking to
work outside bacula. I haven't done this, so I recommend seeking
the advice of others to confirm how best to do this.

With bscan it is not necessary for you to have any information
about the backup.

Bacula does generate BSR (Boot Strap Record) files when backing up
or when restoring (can also configure a restore, then at last step
tell bacula just to save a BSR instead of doing the restore).
These BSR files are small and human readable. They say which
volumes contain the relevant data, and where in the volumes the
data is stored. If you have your BSR files backed up, this will

Let's say a volume (whether tape or file volume) has aged out of whatever
file, job, and volume retention periods are defined. However, the tape
isn't in an autochanger, the file volume is read only or has been copied
elsewhere, volume recycling is disabled, etc. Basically, the catalog
entries for the volume in question have been removed from the database, so
bacula has no knowledge of what could be on that volume, and bacula has
been prevented from reusing the volume. In this case, you can use the
bacula bscan tool to read the volume and see what data is stored on it.

You may notice I provided many caveats to the above hypothetical situation.
This is because while I could fairly easily withhold a tape from bacula for
archive purposes merely by refusing to insert it into the tape library,
withholding a file volume is more complicated. In any case, operating
within defined retention periods is better, so perhaps what you could do is
have an archive pool and job definition and use copy or migrate jobs to
move or copy an existing job into that pool. I think the existing retention
period might apply there, so maybe that would be better than manually
copying a file volume and then bscanning it later. In any case, the idea is
to work within bacula to define an increased retention period for a certain
job instead of seeking to work outside bacula. I haven't done this, so I
recommend seeking the advice of others to confirm how best to do this.

With bscan it is not necessary for you to have any information about the
backup.

Bacula does generate BSR (Boot Strap Record) files when backing up or when
restoring (can also configure a restore, then at last step tell bacula just
to save a BSR instead of doing the restore). These BSR files are small and
human readable. They say which volumes contain the relevant data, and where
in the volumes the data is stored. If you have your BSR files backed up,
this will make recovering from a volume much easier and faster. One
suggestion I have heard is that maybe you could configure a run-after
script to email the BSR file generated by a job to yourself after the
bsckup job runs.

I have discussed tape and file volumes. One exception to this behavior of
backing up files into volumes is if bacula is used to back up to an S3
object storage target. In that case I am led to understand that bacula
backs up files directly to the object storage and does not use volumes.

Re: [Bacula-users] Backup from windows

[Rob Gerber]

Oh!

One thing I forgot to mention: if you do not define the file, job, or
volume retention periods, this does not mean that everything will be
retained forever. Instead, bacula uses the default retention periods (I
think they are 365 days, not sure).

Any volume or job retention period specified in a pool resource overrides
the volume or job retention periods specified elsewhere.

[Bacula-users] Backup from windows

[Mehrdad Ravanbod]

Hi guys

I am new to bacula and trying to figure it out and testing atm

I have it installed on a RHEL9 server with clients on 2 windows computer 
( one server, one win7 client) and trying to set up backups both via VSS 
and indiviual file/folders to disk(mainly a NAS and shares)


Only problem is i am having trouble finding any guides or resources 
handling this, almost everything i have found s far is backup of Linux 
machines and concentrated on Tapes/autochangers etc
I would appreciate any pointers towards relevant material or if anyone 
has any exple configuration files(dir, fd, sd conf files etc)


Also, is there anyone who has experience of long term back up with 
bacula?? How easy is it to archive backups/data for several years?? How 
easy is it to access such archives?? Do you need teh records to be in 
the database for such archives?? Can they be accessed even if something 
happens to database??

Hello Stefan,

You are welcome!

Well, it is 23:41 here now, so I have switched from coffee to beer. :)


Understandable ;-)



I didn't add "signature" but already came up with this yesterday:

Fileset {
    Name = "VM_XYZ"
    Include {
  File = "/mnt/backup/vmbackup/Backup XYZ"
  Options {
    WildFile = "*.vbk"

  Options {

    RegexFile = ".*"
  }
    }
}

seems to work!


OH! Look at you, jumping from WildFile to RegexFile!  :)

I was trying to keep things simple, but OK. :)

Yes, this is fine. Remember my first post about there always being 
several ways to do something in Bacula? :)


Sure. So far it seems to work. At least I see other things to learn now 
... as I get used to Bacula.



Do I have to add that signature-line?


To confirm why I made that comment, try running a restore of one of 
these jobs that you have now backed up. ;)

>> What do you see?

Will do tmrw

Sounds as if I should add these lines asap.


Glad y
ou got this working!

And, if you like we can talk about Client side scripts to point your 
`File = ` at too. Just for more fun and practice, of course. BUT... 
client side scripts are a bit less scalable as you might imagine. :)


Right now I don't know if I might need them. But I always like to learn.

Re: [Bacula-users] MD5 Fatal Error

[Martin Simmons]

Please Cc replies to the list so other people can see them.

Did that job read from Vol0159 as well as writing to it?  If yes, then
messages like this help to show why:

pbckall004-dir JobId 5387: There are no more Jobs associated with Volume 
"Vol0159". Marking it purged.

To prevent that, I think you need to increase the Job Retention in the pool or
client resource so it keeps the job records for longer.

BTW, the job log lines below are in reverse order (latest is first) so that
make it confusing!

Maybe the same problem as reported in

?

I assume the "cycle in their volume list" comment there means it is writing to
a volume that it previous read.

First goal, who supplies that?

Searching at https://www.freshports.org by pkg-plist, I find 
sysutils/bacula-libs3

How is that used:

[12:30 pkg01 dvl ~/ports/head/sysutils] % grep -r bacula-libs3 bacula*  

bacula11-server/Makefile:LIB_DEPENDS+=  libs3.so:sysutils/bacula-libs3
bacula13-server/Makefile:LIB_DEPENDS+=  libs3.so:sysutils/bacula-libs3
bacula15-server/Makefile:MS3_LIB_DEPENDS=   libs3.so:sysutils/bacula-libs3

Interesting how it's MS3 for 15, and S3 for 11 and 13. I have only myself to 
blame and I have no idea why it's like that.

It appears to be cruft leftover from my mangled transformation from "if 
${PORT_OPTIONS:MS3}" to modern methods.

compare old and new:

https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/sysutils/bacula13-server/Makefile#n135
https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/sysutils/bacula15-server/Makefile#n136

Doing this change allowed the build:

[14:41 pkg01 dvl ~/ports/head/sysutils/bacula15-server] % git diff .
diff --git a/sysutils/bacula15-server/Makefile

These are different libraries and you need both of them
(bacula-sd-cloud-driver loads bacula-sd-cloud-s3-driver if required).  I think
this is the same in 13.0.4.

> The problem is the files do not get installed, and I'm not sure why.

The build log contains:

checking libs3.h usability... no
checking libs3.h presence... no
checking for libs3.h... no

so that looke like the problem.  Where is your libs3.h?

[Bacula-users] Building the S3/Amazon options for Bacula 15

[Dan Langille]

A problem with building the S3 options on Bacula 15.0.2 has been reported[1] 
and I'm trying to figure it out. I'm not an s3 user myself, and I am the 
maintainer of the FreeBSD port/package.

When building 13.0.4, see:

src/stored/.libs/bacula-sd-cloud-s3-driver.so
src/stored/.libs/bacula-sd-cloud-s3-driver-13.0.4.so

When building 15.0.2, I see

src/stored/.libs/bacula-sd-cloud-driver.so
src/stored/.libs/bacula-sd-cloud-driver-15.0.2.so

Of note, the '-s3' part of the name has been removed. That doesn't seem to be 
my problem though.

The problem is the files do not get installed, and I'm not sure why.

Is the correct option still --enable-s3

Checking the config options[2] I see no mention of it, nor mention of s3 or 
cloud.

I did find it in the configure file though:

work/bacula-15.0.2/configure:# Check whether --enable-s3 was given.

Is it me? What am I doing wrong? The 15 package is using the same build process 
as 13.

Thank you

Does the bconsole estimate command also show the same effect?

Maybe you are backing up a sparse file?  You could look for large files using
/usr/bin/find with the -size option.

Re: [Bacula-users] Issue with size of the backup

[Borut Rozman via Bacula-users]

Hi All, 

thanks for the pointing out the obvious, it was 2 files growing out of
proportions (steam logs) and they got compressed on a FS level but
actually they were 2.5 tb x2 in size which then got compressed again in
bacula, so all good now.

Thanks

Hello Stefan,

You are welcome!

Well, it is 23:41 here now, so I have switched from coffee to beer. :)

OH! Look at you, jumping from WildFile to RegexFile!  :)

I was trying to keep things simple, but OK. :)

Yes, this is fine. Remember my first post about there always being several ways 
to do something in Bacula? :)



Do I have to add that signature-line?


To confirm why I made that comment, try running a restore of one of these jobs 
that you have now backed up. ;)

What do you see?


Glad y
ou got this working!

And, if you like we can talk about Client side scripts to point your `File = ` at too. Just for more fun and practice, of 
course. BUT... client side scripts are a bit less scalable as you might imagine. :)

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula and german special chars "umlauts"

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

I think those special chars are already in the filesystem like this.

It's no big deal as long as they are in the backups ;-)

Choosing files in the GUI is still possible, it just looks ugly or 
incorrect somehow.


I will check if that relates to the way samba was set up there etc (the 
relevant files are hosted by Samba)

Hello Stefan,

No, this will not backup anything because you have not specified 
anything to backup with a `File = /path/to/somewhere` inside of your 
`Include{}` block. So far, you have only set something (WildFile) inside 
of an `Option{}` block.


There are several ways to do what you want (there always is with Bacula :)

The first, based on your current Fileset template will require a `File 
=` line as mentioned above and also another `Options{}` block to exclude 
everything else:

8<
Fileset {
    Name = "VM_xxx-y"
    Include {
  # This option block matches your *.vbk files and creates a 
signature in the catalog for backed up files

  Options {
    signature = sha1   # You need a 
signature, so I added this
    WildFile = "/mnt/backup/vmbackup/*.vbk"    # Note, I fixed your 
extra quotes and a backslash and simplified here

  }

  # This options block says to exclude everything else, not matched 
above

  Options {
    WildFile = "*.*"
    Exclude = yes
  }

  File = "/mnt/backup/vmbackup"  # And finally, what 'top level' 
directory are we considering for backups

    }
}
8<

This "Should work"™  I have not tested it, and wrote it quickly in my 
email client before finishing my first cup of coffee this morning. :)


First coffee here right now ;-)

}

  RegexFile = ".*"
}
  }
}

seems to work!

Do I have to add that signature-line?

Remember, when you have re-configured this Fileset and have issued a 
`reload` command in bconsole, instead or running the job, you can 
quickly see if your settings do what you want with an `estimate` command 
like:


* estimate listing job=

This way you don't have a bunch of failed jobs in your catalog. :)


Ah, good, that's a nice learning, thanks!

P.S. I see your files (or directories, I am not 100% sure which) have 
spaces in their names.  I would recommend doing yourself a favor and not 
using spaces if you can help it. It will make your life easier and save 
you from needing to "escape" spaces with backslashes, etc.


I totally agree, but it's not fully in my hand.

The Veeam--backups are done by another admin there .. I will talk to him 
to use better naming and also generalizing the directory names.


I am proceeding with editing and testing all my Filesets and Jobs now.

Have a great day,

Re: [Bacula-users] Backup in disk AND tape

[Chris Wilkinson]

I have this working now. The script is below, as per Bill's script with an
extention. It is called from a Runscript as "Command =
/full-path/run-copy-job.sh copy-job-name". There is a copy job defined for
each backup job. The $1 parameter passes the copy job name to the script.

#!/bin/bash
#usage run-copy-job.sh job-name
# Pipe the run command to bconsole
# 
echo "run yes job=$1" | bconsole

This all works fine. The disadvantage is that the copy job hard codes the
level to be copied so the same copy job (in my case full) runs irrespective
of the job being incr/diff/full. For "selection type=PoolUncopiedJobs" this
is only a minor issue since already copied jobs are skipped.

Re: [Bacula-users] baculum + bacula 13.0.4 slow web interface

[Marcin Haba]

Hello Unkdef,

Thanks for your feedback.

I would propose to do a test. Could you please go to the application
settings page (the gear wheel icon on the top left side), there please go
to the 'Display options' tab and in an option with label "Job age on the
dashboard job graphs" could you put a value for example 7 days or 3 days?
Once you save it, please check and let us know if loading the dashboard is
faster.

Did you try to tune the database using mysqltuner?

Best regards,
Marcin Haba (gani)

 Unkdef, one important thing to know is that Bacularis is a friendly
 fork of baculum. It's very similar, and Marcin has been actively
 maintaining it. Marcin is also a baculum developer.

 Basically, Bacularis is the better, more optimized tool.

 This doesn't mean that the source of your problem is certainly baculum,
 but trying the actively maintained and more optimized tool Bacularis is
 certainly a good first step. :)

 Bacularis is available in docker containers if you want to simply load
 a container and give it a try. It is naturally available for bare metal
 installations as well.

Re: [Bacula-users] Install.sh error trying to install manually Bacularis

[Marcin Haba]

Hello Neil,

Yes, I think that your assumption about PATH can be correct. It looks that
the /usr/local/bin path is not accessible for executing by PHP exec().

If you want you can add at the beginning of the mtx-changer script

echo $PATH

to see where exactly mtx-changer looks for binaries when it is executed via
web.

I found that FreeBSD users report this problem with PATH too:

https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/heads-up-php-exec-does-not-look-in-usr-local-bin-for-executables.78098/

Fortunately it is not difficult to solve. You can fix the PATH in
mtx-changer script or globally if it is possible.

Best regards,
Marcin Haba (gani)

 I’m almost there

 I’m using a Dell TL2000 Tape library and a HH LTO7 drive

When trying to configure the auto changer in the API panel,  I click. Checkbox 
on get sudo configuration and when I test I get this error in red:

   /usr/local/share/bacula/mtx-changer: mtx: not found 
/usr/local/share/bacula/mtx-changer: perl: not found


Both mtx and perl are installed in the system ,  perhaps there’s a path issue 
in the MTX changer script ?

 Should update bacula's knowledge of what is in the library, as per mtx. 
 The output once you click that button and tell it to update slots 1-24 
 should show that it knew about every tape's position in various slots in 
 the library. If it says anything about updating a record to reflect a tape 
 being in a certain slot, then its knowledge was incorrect and has been 
 corrected.

I don't get files with this ... seems not to match.


Hello Stefan,

No, this will not backup anything because you have not specified anything to backup with a `File = /path/to/somewhere` inside 
of your `Include{}` block. So far, you have only set something (WildFile) inside of an `Option{}` block.


There are several ways to do what you want (there always is with Bacula :)

The first, based on your current Fileset template will require a `File =` line as mentioned above and also another 
`Options{}` block to exclude everything else:

8<
Fileset {
   Name = "VM_xxx-y"
   Include {
 # This option block matches your *.vbk files and creates a signature in 
the catalog for backed up files
 Options {
   signature = sha1   # You need a signature, so I 
added this
   WildFile = "/mnt/backup/vmbackup/*.vbk"# Note, I fixed your extra 
quotes and a backslash and simplified here
 }

 # This options block says to exclude everything else, not matched above
 Options {
   WildFile = "*.*"
   Exclude = yes
 }

 File = "/mnt/backup/vmbackup"  # And finally, what 'top level' 
directory are we considering for backups
   }
}
8<

This "Should work"™  I have not tested it, and wrote it quickly in my email client before finishing my first cup of coffee 
this morning. :)


Remember, when you have re-configured this Fileset and have issued a `reload` command in bconsole, instead or running the 
job, you can quickly see if your settings do what you want with an `estimate` command like:


* estimate listing job=

This way you don't have a bunch of failed jobs in your catalog. :)

P.S. I see your files (or directories, I am not 100% sure which) have spaces in their names.  I would recommend doing 
yourself a favor and not using spaces if you can help it. It will make your life easier and save you from needing to "escape" 
spaces with backslashes, etc.



Hope this helps,
Bill

Perhaps for your runbefore use something like the following line.

If any part of this fails it SHOULD exit nonzero and the job will fail 
(which is what you want). I recommend testing this before relying on it. 
I've only written it in an email client. I assume using bash here.


I'm not certain how to include files from a list elsewhere, but I know 
it can be done. I think you do @/opt/bacula/working/VM_xxx-y.list in 
your fileset definition. Check the docs to be sure.


I can't believe that this could be that complicated to have to use a 
script before the dump!


my goal:

include all files "*.vbk"

or exclude "*.vib" in a given directory

I look at

Re: [Bacula-users] [Bacularis/Baculum] Restore with web doesn't create job before 1 hour

[Marcin Haba]

Hello Timothé,

I did some tests and analysis for this hanging restore command error. It
looks that the Bacula Bvfs restore part responsible for hardlinks causes
it. This change came to Bacula in version 11.0.

Looking at this hardlinks part, as a workaround I created an index in the
catalog that solved this hanging:

CREATE INDEX file_jobid_fileindex_idx ON File (JobId, FileIndex);

Creating this index can take some time specially if you have many files in
the File table, but later the restore starts without waiting.

Creating index is not a solution, better if the hardlinks part could be
optimized if possible. For now I don't have any other option for that.

For these hardlinks, in Bacula it is a common part for MySQL/MariaDB and
PostgreSQL, but with MySQL this problem is much better visible.

Best regards,
Marcin Haba (gani)

Re: [Bacula-users] Install.sh error trying to install manually Bacularis

[Marcin Haba]

Hello Neil,

For running everything in FreeBSD Jail, if to use mtx-changer by bacula
user is needed sudo, I think the sudo needs to be added to ChangerCommand
too:

Autochanger {
  Name = "TL2000"
  Device = "HH-LTO7"
  ChangerDevice = "/dev/pass1"
  ChangerCommand = "sudo /etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
}

For Perl, it is used by mtx-changer script. I see in mtx-changer that the
Perl command can be changed to commented by default awk/sed/cut commands.
Inside mtx-changer after the Perl command is this comment:

# If perl isn't installed, you can use by those commands

Best regards,
Marcin Haba (gani)

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacularis in a container

[Rob Gerber]

I know what your problem is. You need a Bacularis API instance. Bacularis
web connects to a Bacularis API instance, which connects to the bacula
director. Right now you only have a Bacularis web instance.

If your bacula instance is entirely bare metal, not in a container, then
you probably don't want to use containers to install Bacularis, or at least
don't want to use containers for the Bacularis API. I recommend installing
Bacularis api + web on bare metal in that case.

There is not a container featuring a Bacularis web instance with a
Bacularis API instance but NO bacula components. I don't know why this is
the case. The various containers that do exist support a number of
different circumstances where Bacularis is being used to manage a
distributed, modular bacula system. There isn't a single container that
only contains the functionality and packages to support Bacularis
management of an existing bare metal bacula instance.

Re: [Bacula-users] Install.sh error trying to install manually Bacularis

[Rob Gerber]

What happens when you click 'update slots' on the volumes page, and tell it
to update slots 1-24? Idk if this is relevant, but perhaps it is. Should
update bacula's knowledge of what is in the library, as per mtx. The output
once you click that button and tell it to update slots 1-24 should show
that it knew about every tape's position in various slots in the library.
If it says anything about updating a record to reflect a tape being in a
certain slot, then its knowledge was incorrect and has been corrected.

Re: [Bacula-users] Install.sh error trying to install manually Bacularis

[Marcin Haba]

Hello Neil,

>From your description it looks that Bacularis works with the mtx-changer
script well.

For labeling volumes, as it is action realized by Bacula SD, so I think, it
might be good to check if the mtx-changer script is capable of being
correctly executed by the bacula user.

For test I would propose to try this command:

# sudo -u bacula /etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer /dev/pass1 slots

and also a good test could be trying to label a sample volume using
bconsole.

Best regards,
Marcin Haba (gani)

Re: [Bacula-users] Install.sh error trying to install manually Bacularis

[Neil Balchin]

Ok Great,  that solves that problem

I’m almost there

I’m using a Dell TL2000 Tape library and a HH LTO7 drive 

I’ve added these to my bacula-sd ( configs pasted below). Also added the 
Autochanger and Drives to the API device list

From the API gui. It’s clearly running the slots and status commands properly. 
Because it shows the 19 tapes with barcodes ,  however when I try to label 
these tapes from the volumes page it reports Zero slots

Autochanger {
  Name = "TL2000"
  Device = "HH-LTO7"
  ChangerDevice = "/dev/pass1"
  ChangerCommand = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
}

Device {
  Name = "HH-LTO7"
  MediaType = "LTO-7"
  ArchiveDevice = "/dev/sa0"
  HardwareEndOfMedium = no
  BackwardSpaceRecord = no
  BsfAtEom = yes
  TwoEof = yes
  FastForwardSpaceFile = yes
  RemovableMedia = yes
  RandomAccess = no  
  AutomaticMount = yes
  AlwaysOpen = yes
  Autochanger = yes
  ControlDevice = "/dev/pass1"
  AlertCommand = "/usr/local/share/bacula/tapealert %l"
}

I can run mt and mtx commands freely from the command line as both the bacula 
user and www user so I think my /dev/ permissions are ok

 Hello Neil,
 
 Thanks for your feedback with installing Bacularis on FreeBSD.
 
 It looks that in your environment this script uses the default FreeBSD 
 shell /bin/sh (or any other) that does not support arrays.
 
 This is the Bash script so to use it you need to install Bash:
 
 # pkg install bash
 
 After that you need to update shebang in the install.sh script to:
 
 #!/usr/local/bin/bash
 
 Once it is done, it should start working well. In case problems, please 
 let us know.
 
 Good luck!

Hello Chris,

Yes, convert that run command to a simple script like:

/opt/bacula/script/run_catalog-copy.sh:
8<
#!/bin/bash

# Pipe the run command to bconsole
# 
echo "run yes job=catalog-copy" | bconsole
8<

Now, that is the most basic it needs to be, but you can add other things to it. ie: error checking, command line options, 
etc. Although in your use case it does not seem necessary to complicate things. :)



Then, just replace the
8<
Console = "run job=catalog-copy yes"
8<

...line in your RunScript with:

8<
`Command = /opt/bacula/script/ru
n_catalog-copy.sh`
8<

And you should be OK.

Make sure your `catalog-copy` job has the same Priority (11) as your Catalog job, otherwise you will end up in a dead-lock 
where the Copy job waits for the Catalog job to finish, and the Copy job is waiting for the catalog-copy job (which will 
never start) to finish.



Hope this helps,
Bill

Re: [Bacula-users] Install.sh error trying to install manually Bacularis

[Marcin Haba]

Hello Neil,

Great to hear that you were able to set up the Bacularis instance.

This error that you see is because in the php.ini file on FreeBSD by
default is error reporting set to display all errors. To fix this error you
need to edit php.ini file:

/usr/local/etc/php.ini

and change error reporting line from this:

error_reporting = E_ALL

into this one:

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT

At the end you need to restart PHP.

Best regards,
Marcin Haba (gani)

Regarding the suggestion to put a Runafter block in the job to run the copy
job at the end, that doesn't seem to be allowed. Run job=xx commands are
not permitted in a Runscript as I just found out. It gives a not allowed
command error.

Perhaps there is another way to accomplish this?

Re: [Bacula-users] Version of openssl supported (bacula with postgresql)

[Eduardo Rothe via Bacula-users]

 Hi Eric
Thank you for your reply !
I got it working, I had misconfigured the repository.In 
/etc/yum.repos.d/bacula.repo  file I had a reference to  el7  in the  baseurl 
variable.I changed   el7  to  el9   and now it works fine.
This was clearly a copy & paste issue, and not paying enough attention from my 
side, but your answer got me thinking: should I beware of using the Bacula 
repository  rpms/15.0.2/el9/x86_64  on another RHEL based distributions like 
Fedora ?

I would not try to install Centos7 packages to a Fedora system, it's two

ok with some warnings about their constant need of breaking their API.

Hope it helps!

The run command is not allowed.  You can only use the commands documented

[Bacula-users] Error: cannot run a job from a RunScript

[Chris Wilkinson]

I tried to get a copy job to run after completion of the job using a
Runscript. The Job is shown below. I can run this copy job OK from within
bconsole/baculum but it fails when run from a Runscript.

I get an error "09-Apr 09:52 bsvr-dir JobId 0: Can't use run command in a

Is it not permissible to use a run command within a Runscript block?

Hello Stefan,

Yes, filenames displayed in the restore process.

Also it might be good to check how the names are stored in the database

will try that in an hour or so.

currently editing Jobs and doing initial Full runs to test them

Let me ask something not related to umlauts here:

In Amanda I had "disk list entries" defined, one per Samba-share to 
backup ... and one for each virtual machine dump located on a samba 
share: Veeam dumps to a samba share, I let amanda and now bacula read 
that and push to tape.


The idea there is to have many DLEs (=disk list entries) to make use of 
the scheduler there: it creates a dynamic schedule every run and 
combines fulls and incrementals of the DLEs to meet the overall goals 
("create one full backup of this DLE within N days").


I still tend to define more Jobs in Bacula and not do huge Jobs 
containing hundreds of Gigs and multiple VMs in one Job.


That leads to more manual editing ;-) but OK; that's done now at 
migration time.


Is it recommended to use more Jobs? I assume it's quicker and easier to 
handle, for example at restore time etc


Any problems I create by doing so?

Thanks for any pointers here

Not using bacularis, but accented characters, used in all languages, except

spoken by about 1000 people on an island in the Pacific, work for us. Try 
restoring from bconsole to rule out
that it is a bacula issue and not just a bacularis one.

What I noticed: when I access "Restore" in Bacularis, there are files

That's something I would like to get correct from the start.

I installed from the deb-packages and use postgresql as database.

Didn't notice any specific choice of charsets or so.

Does that maybe come from the language I chose for Bacularis?

What I noticed: when I access "Restore" in Bacularis, there are files 
displayed with strange chars instead of the correct german special chars 
or "Umlauts".


That's something I would like to get correct from the start.

I installed from the deb-packages and use postgresql as database.

Didn't notice any specific choice of charsets or so.

Does that maybe come from the language I chose for Bacularis?

Right now I have it in english ...

pls advise, thanks, Stefan

Re: [Bacula-users] connecting bacularis to an existing bacula setup

[Marcin Haba]

Hello Steven,

Yes, web servers by default listen on port 80 but it is possible to change.
Bacularis uses only one port 9097. I mean that after installing Bacularis
with the web server, you can just disable listening on port 80 or change it
to any other port number.

Best regards,
Marcin Haba (gani)

Hi,

It will not run on bare metal as it tries to run on port80, but I have 
apache containers on port 80 and 443 already which was why I went for a 
docker container to isolate bacularis that runs on 9097 OK but the 
wizard lacks connectivity to bacula.

Hello Steven,

Of course, you don't need to uninstall anything. Bacula
daemons stay where they are. Don't worry, nothing changes here.

In that container image description is a sentence:

"It can be used to connect external Bacularis API server(s) in
containers or outside them."

This "outside them" means that you can install Bacularis API
in any way that you want, Docker image is only one of the ways.

Reading your description for that, what you would like to
have, the easiest is to install only one Bacularis using
binary packages on the Bacula Director host. It contains the
Bacularis Web and Bacularis API together, so you don't need to
split it or install anything else, just this one Bacularis
instance. The installation wizard, that you will see after
installing, will lead you on all the configuration process.

In case problems or questions, please let us know. Thanks!

Re: [Bacula-users] Install.sh error trying to install manually Bacularis

[Marcin Haba]

Hello Neil,

I have checked installing Bacularis on FreeBSD and I have one more note.

By default in Apache is used PHP as Apache module. If you want to use it
this way, it is fine. Nothing else to do. If you will need to use PHP
through PHP-FPM, then you need to do a few changes in your httpd.conf to
disable the Apache PHP module and enable PHP-FPM.

First, you need to disable/comment the MPM Prefork module and libphp:

#LoadModule mpm_prefork_module libexec/apache24/mod_mpm_prefork.so
#LoadModule php_module libexec/apache24/libphp.so

and enable/uncomment these modules:

LoadModule mpm_event_module libexec/apache24/mod_mpm_event.so
LoadModule proxy_module libexec/apache24/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_fcgi_module libexec/apache24/mod_proxy_fcgi.so

Then you need to add these lines to the same httpd.conf:


SetEnvIfNoCase ^Authorization$ "(.+)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1

SetHandler  "proxy:unix:/tmp/php-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/"



At the end in /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf you need to set permissions
for PHP-FPM unix socket:

listen.owner = www
listen.group = www
listen.mode = 0660

and restart the services:

# service php-fpm restart
# service apache24 restart

Re: [Bacula-users] Install.sh error trying to install manually Bacularis

[Marcin Haba]

Hello Neil,

Thanks for your feedback with installing Bacularis on FreeBSD.

It looks that in your environment this script uses the default FreeBSD
shell /bin/sh (or any other) that does not support arrays.

This is the Bash script so to use it you need to install Bash:

# pkg install bash

After that you need to update shebang in the install.sh script to:

#!/usr/local/bin/bash

Once it is done, it should start working well. In case problems, please let
us know.

Good luck!

Best regards,
Marcin Haba (gani)

Re: [Bacula-users] connecting bacularis to an existing bacula setup

[Marcin Haba]

Hello Steven,

Bacularis API and Bacularis Web are one application called just Bacularis.
So, as I see you already have it.

In the installation wizard there is possible to choose if you want to
configure API or Web or both (typical case). After installation you need
just to go to:

http://yourhost:9097
