Re: [Bacula-users] Experiences with Autochanger IBM TS3100
Hi ! Not quite sure if that helps, but we are running a similar library that identifies as 3573-TL but looks the same. We just connected it to the server (to SAS-HBA) and were able to use it with /dev/sg0 and /dev/nst0 nst1 on a RHEL5.6 which should be quite similar to Centos 5.6. Just try a mtx inquiry with the library connected and maybe create a link for /dev/changer.

[Bacula-users] Multiple Devices in Director Storage definition
Hello !
I am testing around a bit and found something that would help a lot in my
setup, but i´m not quite sure if this is a supported configuration.
This way i can mount up to 4 different volumes at the same time on one storage.
Please note that the Archive Device location is always the same so i don´t
think i have to split up the storage definition as suggested in the manual.
- bacula-dir.conf -
Storage {
Name = backup.mb.filestorage
Address= 10.11.6.32
SDPort = 9103
Password =
Device = backup.mb.filestorage-1
Device = backup.mb.filestorage-2
Device = backup.mb.filestorage-3
Device = backup.mb.filestorage-4
Media Type = backup.mb.filestorage
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 4
}
- bacula-dir.conf -
- bacula-sd.conf -
Device {
Name = backup.mb.filestorage-1
Media Type = backup.mb.filestorage
Archive Device = /var/backup/storage/backup.mb.filestorage/
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
}
Device {
Name = backup.mb.filestorage-2
Media Type = backup.mb.filestorage
Archive Device = /var/backup/storage/backup.mb.filestorage/
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
}
[... and so on ...]
- bacula-sd.conf -
Is it intended to be used that way ?
Best regards,
Daniel

[Bacula-users] bscan troubles
Hello ! We had some database troubles and decided to recreate the catalog with bscan. It worked nicely with our disk-volumes.

It also flawlessly read 2.5TB of incremental Backups (in 70 separate volumes) without a hitch. But now i´m starting to scan our tape volumes and i´m running into a strange problem.

Besides the hint about duplicate job control that might or might not work depending on your configuration i have another one. I assume you those jobs all run on the same Client. Just specify maximum concurrent jobs = 1 in the client-resource (bacula-dir.conf) for that client and it will never run more than one job simultaneously.

Actually, it'll decrease it rather drastically. All the way to none. Good laugh there :) You see, at the present time you cannot copy or migrate from one SD to another. Copy and migration operations can only occur between devices attached to a single SD, because SDs cannot yet communicate directly with one another, which they would need to do to perform inter-SD copies or migrations. My company has requested this feature (copy jobs between multiple SDs) and is willing to pay half of what Bacula Systems wants for implementing. They asked for 10k€ and we are willing to pay 5k€. Our main reason to request this feature is that we can have a central director in our office, a SD in our office and a SD in the datacenter. We could then do a (local) backup in the datacenter and copy those jobs to our office-sd during off-hours. And from there they get copied to tape for achival. It would be great if we could find more people willing to commit money to this feature. On the other hand if any devs feel up to the task and the 5k€ we offer is enough that would be great too.

[Bacula-users] MySQL: Batch-Inserts Disk-based tmp-tables
Hello everyone ! Please correct me if i'm wrong, but i did notice that all temporary batch-insert tables created by bacula are disk-based. After digging a bit on why this happens (starting with the mysql-parameters) i found the following bit that explained it quite clearly. From http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/memory-storage-engine.html - MEMORY tables cannot contain BLOB or TEXT columns. And here is the Table-Creation in the bacula-source (src/cats/sql_create.c): CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE batch ( FileIndex integer, JobId integer, Path blob, Name blob, LStat tinyblob, MD5 tinyblob),NULL, NULL); Of course - so bacula batch-insert tables are never going to be memory tables because of the blob columns. If those tables have to be blobs there is nothing we can do about it - but do they really have to be ? Does batch-inserts still make it faster even though the tables are disk-based ? (I did not test that). I also found this in patches/testing/batch-insert.readme and am curious if it is still valid: --- you MUST change some indexes. mysql) ALTER TABLE Filename DROP INDEX Name; ALTER TABLE Filename ADD UNIQUE (Name(255)); ALTER TABLE Path DROP INDEX Path; ALTER TABLE Path ADD UNIQUE (Path(255)); --- But mysql_create_tables.in (again in src/cats/) says: --- CREATE TABLE Filename ( FilenameId INTEGER UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, Name BLOB NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(FilenameId), INDEX (Name(255)) ); CREATE TABLE Path ( PathId INTEGER UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, Path BLOB NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(PathId), INDEX (Path(255)) ); --- I`m pretty sure that the bacula-rpm (that has batch-insert enabled) does not create the database in the correct way for batch-inserts if those indexes are still necessary. I`m also having a Problem with my Director hanging sometime in the night. It just stops doing anything and you cannot connect to the console. I don't think i can get a Traceback from this because the director does not actually crash. It just sits there doing nothing. I am still analysing this though - if you have any tips on how i can get some useful output (i did set the debug-level for SD Dir to 200 today and hope to see something tomorrow) please tell.

attributes again ? The data is already in the database but linked to the original backup job. After the migration has run the on disk-data cannot be accessed anymore, so why keep it ? Or even better, why not just UPDATE it so it links to the migration job ? This should go a LOT quicker than doing a complete insert again and would remove this bottleneck completely. I'm afraid i'm not a programmer or i would take a look into this myself.

Hi ! (private) HKS wrote: It seems more and more likely to me that this is a Bacula-specific issue. What else can I dig into to try to resolve this? Can you check how many queries per second you get on the database while backing up ? Spooling makes no difference i take it ? Does attribute spooling make a difference ? (Spool Attributes = yes) If you didn`t check out attribute spooling yet it could still be a problem with the database. If it is you should see higher transfer speed during the backup. After the backup the attributes are commited to the database and THIS takes quite a while. At least that is what i can see on my system.

[Bacula-users] Multiple Tapedrives as one Storage
Hi ! I`m not sure if this is possible so i`m asking here. We have 4 tapedrives connected to our backupserver. Is it possible to insert a blank tape into each one, bacula then starts to write to the first tapedrive (labeling the tape in the process) and when that tape is filled it continues to write on the second drive ? And after that the third and fourth and then wait for a new tape to be inserted into drive 1 ? I would use this to migrate all disk-based volumes to one archive-pool on tapes. I got the impression that something like this would be possible with an autochanger configuration.

[Bacula-users] Daily changed tape pool configuration ?
Hi !
We have a tape that gets changed daily and i seem to have a few problems
with it. I`d like to configure the pool in a way that no matter what the
currently inserted tape will be used.
backup-dir Version: 1.38.4
bernoulli-fd Version: 1.38.2
Pool {
Name = dailytape-pool # used monthly
Pool Type= Backup
Label Format = daily.
Maximum Volume Jobs = 3 # 3 Clients = 3 jobs !
Volume Use Duration = 1 day
Maximum Volumes = 16
Volume Retention = 11 days
Recycle Current Volume= yes
AutoPrune= yes # Prune expired volumes
Recycle = yes # automatically recycle Volumes
}
This is what i tried, but it doesn`t seem to work.
05-Apr 21:05 backup-dir: Start Backup JobId 5297,
Job=Bernoulli.2006-04-05_21.05.01
05-Apr 21:06 backup-dir: Pruned 3 Jobs on Volume daily.0014 from catalog.
05-Apr 21:06 backup-sd: Bernoulli.2006-04-05_21.05.01 Warning: Director
wanted Volume daily.0013.
Current Volume daily.0014 not acceptable because:
1998 Volume daily.0014 status is Full, but should be Append,
Purged or Recycle (cannot automatically recycle current volume, as it
still contains unpruned data).
05-Apr 21:06 backup-sd: Please mount Volume daily.0013 on Storage
Device daily-sd (/dev/nst0) for Job Bernoulli.2006-04-05_21.05.01
05-Apr 22:05 bernoulli-fd: Bernoulli.2006-04-05_21.05.01 Fatal error:
job.c:1594 Comm error with SD. bad response to Append Data.
ERR=Interrupted system call
After that you get the backup canceled info (canceled because max wait
time is reached).
You can see it prunes the 3 jobs on the volume just before the backup
starts but then says there is still unpruned data on it. The job that
starts 4 hours later and uses the same pool does not have any problems
and uses the tape.
Also Volume Use Duration does not seem to kick in ... if i list the
volumes in the pool i get this:
+-++---++--+--+-+--+---++-+
| MediaId | VolumeName | VolStatus | VolBytes | VolFiles |
VolRetention | Recycle | Slot | InChanger | MediaType | LastWritten
| 157 | daily.0013 | Append| 63,072,842,832 | 64 |
950,400 | 1 |0 | 1 | daily-tape | 2006-04-05 13:09:06 |
| 192 | daily.0014 | Append| 49,326,499,066 | 50 |
950,400 | 1 |0 | 1 | daily-tape | 2006-04-06 12:47:56
+-++---++--+--+-+--+---++-+
(cut out the unimportant stuff)
They should have changed to status used by now. The Maximum Volume
Jobs is not hit (because of the first backup failing) but the Volume use
duration should have been.
Any ideas ?

If both the directives are specified and they specify the same script, your script will then be unconditionally called.

Basically each storage device in the SD-config has another Storage

I`m also still using the 1.37.40 release because i`m waiting on the official RPMs to upgrade. The backup also heavily affects the performance of the application running on that box. I set compression to GZIP1 so this shouldn`t be the problem (cpu-load is fine actually). I have no idea what`s causing this, any ideas what i could check ?

The problem of running into table or database size limits is not discussed in the manual, but there is a bit of information on sizing your DB in the chapter(s) dealing with MySQL. Yeh, we have other MySQL-DBs here on site that are well past the 10GB mark and no problems ... it just happened to me because i`m a Oracle-DBA and MySQL is still a big mystery to me :-) (Oracle is so easy compared to MySQL ;) ) Guess i won`t be running any backups tonight ... running a DB-Backup for safety and then i`m going to convert. One crucial question i always forget to ask ... Some of our backups get spooled first, on these i noticed that that bacula commits all the db-changes at once ... now what happens when a (non-spooling) backup is running and the table fills like it happened on the weekend ?

Re: [Bacula-users] Oracle backups using RMAN
Hi ! Yu Safin wrote: One of my departments is using Oracle and via RMAN they backup to Netbackup. How can I accomplish the same using Bacula instead of RMAN? Is anybody backing up Oracle using Bacula? I`m administrating two Oracle 10g Servers and back them up with bacula. One is a development-server - with the ClientRunBeforeJob directive I shutdown the oracle-db (service oradb stop), then backup the whole system (closed-database backup basically) and start the oracle again with the ClientRunAfterJob directive. (This would be without RMAN) Of course this can only be done if you can afford that the database goes down during the backup which is not always the case. This is why we have another Oracle-Server (development-system with live-data) that gets backed up online. I`ve configured a standard oracle-online-backup with the Enterprise Manager (Saturday Fullbackup + Inc Sun-Fri - everything handled by RMAN). This backup goes to a seperate partition on the oracle-server. Now bacula backs-up the system, the oracle itself and the backup-area. I hope that helped you a bit.

[Bacula-users] Bare Metal Recovery Set-Up questions
Hi ! I`m testing out baculas baremetal recovery capabilities. Now i read the documentation and now i`m a little frightened by what i just read ... I`m getting the impression that i have to compile bacula on the system i want to restore which is quite a problem for us. We have 4 compile-systems - one for each OS release (RH9, RHEL2.1, RHEL3, RHEL4) which we use to compile the packages for all of our other systems. None of the other systems is able to compile anything as there are no development tools installed. Any experiences with this ? Setting up a rescue cd for a system that is unable to compile ? I`m trying to build the files by hand as i get the impression that i only need the /roottree/bacula-HOSTNAME files for the clients that cannot compile (the CD itself will be build on a compile-system with the according OS of course).

[Bacula-users] Bacula Tape Handling questions
Hi ! Firstoff: My company is still willing to support a developer that implements data migration into bacula. I have a few questions considering tape handling. Let`s say i have a Tape that gets changed every day. Three servers backup to it (spooling of course) and i have set Maximum Volume Jobs to 3 for that pool. Is there a way to automatically eject the tape after the last server finished spooling his data ? Maybe with the Run After Job directive ? I could do it by hand with the console but thats not what i want. What happens if one backup fails and i remove the tape so that maximum volume jobs is not fulfilled ... will it ask for the old tape on the next backup or will it happily use the new tape that has been inserted ? The relabel command only works on tapes already in the catalogue ... i re-initialized my database a few times and it rejected relabeling the old tapes. It also rejected USING the old tapes ... had to do mt weof to fix that. Do i need to set the Drive Index option in bacula-sd.conf when i don`t have a tapechanger ? I only have 4 standalone LTO-1 drives but no changer.

I could use the 1.36.3 packages - but i would have to check 1.36.3 first if the functionality (like VSS for our win2k3 hosts) stays the same. Afaik VSS only got implemented with 1.37.

I think you can safely ommit those patches if you are not running
SQLLite. If you are using MySQL or PGSQL for your database the only
thing that would need changing post-install is the make_catalog_backup
file - you have to adjust the path to the mysql/pgsql executable ...
For more clarity go to /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/bacula-1.37.38/src/cats/
and look at the rejected-file and the patch file, it`s just a minor
change that produces the error (patch file pointing to wrong line i think)
After that i was only having some trouble with the tray-monitor which i
also don`t need so i removed the --with-tray-monitor option from the
configure in the specfile.

[Bacula-users] Combined Tape Disk Storage Solution

We want the ability to do quick restores from the disk (last 2-4 weeks depending on backup size) but also create a tape archive spanning several months if we need anything that is not on the disk-storage anymore (because the volume got recycled). At the moment this is not implemented. If anyone knows a workaround i`m open for suggestions. Are there any developers out there that would like to implement this? Is someone else even interested in this feature ? Would you support the development of this feature ?

[Bacula-users] crashed client further backups ?
Hi ! I`m playing with the bacula-configuration here (1.37.36) and i noticed the following behaviour. I started a backup-job to backup our Windows 2003 Server ... everything ran fine till the windows-box crashed (still investigating why but this is something else i think - not bacula related). Now the director says the job is still running. Meanwhile i have added another backup-job to the queue that is awaiting the end of the first job. Now even if i cancel the windows-backup-job and the director says it is properly canceled it still won`t go away ... from the documentation i got the idea that it should continue after a few minutes but now i waited an hour an nothing happened. (logfiles at bottom) Restarting the director solved the problem, alltough i had to start the second job again. My concern is that when our bacula setup goes live and during the nightly backup-run ONE client crashes during the backup and the complete backup hangs ? Is there some sort of timeout that notices the client isn`t sending data anymore ? Is there a way to continue the backup from where it crashed (i doubt this functionality exists) ? If i had a Full-Backup pool for the crashed machine with a volume retention time of 2 months and 2 volumes maximum - what would happen if: sunday fullbackup crashes - volume marked as used monday - incremental gets upgraded to full - volume marked as used tue-sat - incrementals as usual sunday fullbackup - retention time for both used volumes are not over so what happens ? -- Logfiles --- Running Jobs: JobId Level Name Status == 10 FullNoether.2005-08-31_08.52.29 is running *cancel 10 Automatically selected Job: JobId=10 Job=Noether.2005-08-31_08.52.29 Confirm cancel (yes/no): yes 2901 Job Noether.2005-08-31_08.52.29 not found. 3000 Job Noether.2005-08-31_08.52.29 marked to be canceled.

The question is about the volumes and their retention time. On the second sunday bacula would try to make a backup, check for available volumes in the full-pool and see two volumes (remember ? 2 volumes maximum), both in the used state (one 6 days old and ok, one 7 days old and damaged from the client-crash during the backup). At least i got the impression that a failed backup leads to a closed, used volume ... does bacula notice that this volume is incomplete and flag it for recycling immediately ignoring the retention time ?
