Re: [Bacula-users] Starting from scratch
Alex, Your bacula configuration might be using files for storage, instead of the database. I'm not sure, but take a look in /var/lib/bacula Laurent On 2010-07-12 07:56, Alex Huth wrote: Hello!

Re: [Bacula-users] Two tape drives
Prashant,
It almost sounds like a misspelling. I see that in your schedule, you
wrote LTO with a zero, like LT zero-two. But LTO drives have that name
for the acronym "Linear Tape Open", so if your storage config spells it
with the letterO, then that's a problem. Try copy-pasting the name to
be sure it's found.

Laurent Chouinard

Hi All,
I have an LTO4 and LTO2 tapes drive on bacula.
How can I specify a Job/specify to use the LTO4 for full backup on week

As the following does not work
Schedule {

Run = Full sun at 3:00 Storage = LT04-drive
Run = Differential mon-thu at 23:45 Storage = LT02-drive

If you have the same setup could you please point me to the correct
documentation for this please.
Kind Regards,

Prashant,
What does the log say when it runs those jbos?
Which is the two fail? The full on LTO4, or the Diff on LTO2?
Also, if you run the job manually with "run" command, and then set the
type to "Full" and storage to "LTO4", (and then the same for
Diff/LTO2), can these jobs work fine?

Re: [Bacula-users] Fwd: restore windows path - traversal problem
Where are you trying to go in the tree that is causing you problems? I just tested this on a windows backup: (edited for clarity) cwd is: / $ ls c:/ j:/ $ cd c: cwd is: c:/ $ cd Program Files cwd is: c:/Program Files/ $ cd Bacula cwd is: c:/Program Files/Bacula/ $ ls LICENSE Readme.txt Uninstall.exe bacula-fd.conf bacula-fd.exe [...] working/ zlib1.dll $ So what is your problem exactly? If it's the CD command that returns an error, try using quotes like I did above. Also follow capitalization. Otherwise paste the command you try, and the error you get.

When i run restore and i get dropped to $ prompt i can pwd c:\Program Files\Bacula/ but i cannot traverse the directories with the 'cd' command. I did read: cd The cd command changes the current directory to the argument specified. It operates much like the Unix cd command. Wildcard specifications are not permitted. Note, on Windows systems, the various drives#40;c#58;, d#58;, ...#41; are treated like a directory within the file tree while in the file selection mode. As a consequence, you must do a cd c#58; or possibly in some cases a cd C#58;#40;note upper case#41; to get down to the first directory. This does not work though. Anyone help?

Re: [Bacula-users] Two tape drives
Prashant,
Could you please paste the entire config you're using? It would appear
that the Storage parameter can not be located in the job or job
defaults or schedule, leaving bacula with no possible destination for
one Run.

Laurent Chouinard

Hi Laurent,
Sorry, I've corrected the spelling mistakes, but there is still an
issue, as error says *Config error: Job type field: Storage in run
record not found*.
I think is it more of an invalid parameter in the schedule section.
I'll keep trying.

[Bacula-users] Retension (forward to end of tape, then rewind)
Hi, I have been searching for this for a while, but all I could find relates to retention, as in, the period of time to keep records of files/volumes/medias in a system. What I'm trying to achieve it retension, or the act of seeking a tape to the end, then rewinding it. My question is two-fold: a) I want to do a retension of all my tapes. mt -f /dev/st0 retension produces no output and immediately quits. It appears to do nothing. b) I would like to have my Bacula system automatically start a job by first retensioning the tape, and then doing the backup. Or it could be at the end. Or I can schedule a monthly retension job, whatever. I just want to have some way of automating the process of retensioning my tapes. My drive is a Seagate DAT72 internal, SCSI. I believe these are the same as DDS5 cartridges? The host is Linux Debian Etch, on which runs both the director and the storage daemon.
