If you have the debugging out available for the case when it failed that would be useful. If not, hold off and I'll put in some more debug code to try and narrow it further with this new information. Has any more been discovered about this issue? I am seeing this regularly on my systems as well. No problem when volumes are less than 2GB. However volumes larger than 2GB trigger this bug. I really do not want to set the maximum volume size to be 2GB and have to deal with 30+ volumes for one backup. I am currently resorting to deleting the volume from the file system and creating a zero length file of the same name. Anything I can do to help debug?

[Bacula-users] Goodbye and thanks for all the fish
I have been involved in the Bacula project for a year now. The first 9 months I spent working 6-7 days a week, 8+ hours a day: porting Storage and the Director to Windows rewriting the installer redesigning the Windows build process and contributed improvements to the Unix build fixing numerous Windows-specific as well as general bugs redesigning, simplifying and improving both the Windows and the core code porting the regression tests to Windows migrating the Source Management from CVS to Subversion I followed all the coding conventions, reviewed every significant change with Kern, and did everything possible to comply with all rules (both those outlined in the Developer's Guide as well as those inferred from reading between the lines in Kern's emails). I spent thousands of dollars putting together a test lab for all the tape loader, tape drive and CD changer technologies. During the last eight weeks I've been working on reproducing and fixing a tape drive on Windows bug and writing a new monitor application for Windows. I've watched the email lists for bugs that are specific to the new components I've added as well as helping users with Windows specific install problems. I also worked on a couple of other open source projects with which I'm involved. Oh, and I caught up on some of my work that actually produces income. The one thing I didn't do was update the manual. As a result, my admin privileges for the Bacula project were removed and I must submit all my changes as patches for review. I've done my best to work with Kern and I thought everything was great until the last week when he started threatening me with removing all the software (Windows Server version) I'd just devoted the better part of the last year working on. I'm not sure what I've done to upset him, but I'm not prepared to work in this environment. One of the nice things about Open Source is that if you don't like the rules you can not only take your marbles and go home, you can also take the other guy's marbles too. I'll be looking into providing a supported and compatible version of the software for Windows. Over time as the core code improves and diverges I'll probably also release versions for the other platforms too. I will also make sure that I pick up bug fixes from the Bacula project. - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

However, there are a few items where I feel he may have presented an incorrect interpretation that I would like to clarify. See below.

As a result, my admin privileges for the Bacula project were removed and I must submit all my changes as patches for review. Two points here: first, we are talking about a Source Forge project manager status. Recently so that Robert could complete the CVS - SVN conversion project, I gave Robert project manager status for Bacula on Source Forge. I did the for a specific task, not as something permanent since there are already three people serving as project manager for Bacula. As I promised the Free Software Foundation Europe to do before June, I recently (as I mentioned on recent email) removed all developers who have not signed the FSFE FLA (with a few exceptions). While doing this, I put Robert back to standard developer status, which seemed to me totally unworthy of any special mention. As of this moment, Robert has full write access to the SVN as do all other developers. I have never asked Robert to submit all his changes as patches for review. I did explicitly ask him to sumit a patch to me so that we could review it for possible inclusion into 2.2.0. This is *exactly* the same status that all other developers have at this stage. I have asked them all to submit to me any new features, but they can continue to work on fixing bugs. This is completely normal, I have been doing the same thing for five years now. Just this morning, Robert committed one or two bug fixes without notifying me (which is perfectly fine with me), so I have a hard time understanding this complaint. Just so there is no confusion, I have said that I will be moving to a mode where I do review all patches in more detail, and I have said that certain developers already use such a system, and that it works well, at least for me. This is something I am currently considering and I have not imposed it on Robert or anyone else. 3c. A minority of the developers (there are thank God some), take full responsibility for writing the code, posting as patches so that I can review it as time permits, integrating it at an appropriate time, responding to my requests for tweaking it (name changes, ...), document it in the code, document it in the manual (even though their mother tongue is not English), test it, develop and commit regression scripts, and answer in a timely fashion all bug reports -- even occassionally accepting additional bugs :-) Item 3.c is a sustainable way of going forward with Bacula
Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula was reseting the SCSI controller when jobfinished / solved

Main effect: I am running 3 concurrent jobs every day which use 3 drives. Because of the suboptimal method of picking a drive for a job (as recently reported) bacula keeps changing the drives for the jobs so it has to unload / load the tapes. Somtimes the tapes could not be appended to after they where moved from one drive to another. After several days of testing and searching (in fact using 3 different scsi-controlers) i finally got the culprit. It was the Alert Command = line calling tapeinfo which seems to reset the scsi controller. So the first job which finishes called tapeinfo which reseted the scsi-bus and so confusing the still running jobs on the other drives. After disabling the Alert Command i got no more reset messages in the message-log and no more problems with the tapes. As far as i can tell by now (just tested once) the problem does not concern smartctl.

What I am talking about is the lack of highly qualified, committed, and permanent Bacula developers). I hope I'm not one of the developers that you feel isn't qualified or committed. I'm not sure what you mean by permanent. I think you took my statements from the wrong angle. I wasn't complaining about any of the existing developers, but indicating that the Bacula project does not have sufficient qualified, committed, and permanent (long term) developers. I gave an idication somewhat above by what I mean by permanent. In your case, you are certainly qualified, probably the most technically qualified of all the people who have worked on Bacula. You have not been around long enough for me to consider you permanent. Only time will tell. However your participation, which is very much appreciated seems to come in bursts rather than consistently day after day. This is fine, as I will accept all the help I can get in any form. Example, your last email was on 6 March. My last emails on the list were Apr 6th not Mar 6th. For the last two weeks I've been working on the new monitor program which is why I haven't been posting to the list. I answer the questions on the mailing list that are specific to the Windows version. I usually ignore those that are general Bacula questions, even if they are running Windows, unless there is some Windows specific aspect. That's fine. My point here, is that today, I am essentially the only developer doing documentation, the only developer fixing bugs, the only developer doing testing on the different platforms. After 7+ years of doing it 12-14 hours a day for 6 and sometimes 7 days a week, I am more than a bit disappointed that there isn't more help. The fault may possibly be my own, but what ever the case may be that is where we are. I have also been fixing bugs. Yes, you have fixed bugs, and I appreciate that. However, I don't consider you as an active developer that is doing bug fixing. I will give you a few examples, and they aren't at all intended to criticize you, but to indicate the level of committment that I see in your participation (which is of course for you to define) and thus indicate to you more clearly why I made the Win32 decision. The last time you made a commit was 15 March over a month ago, and before that it was 7 Feb. This is fine, and I am happy to get those commits/fixes. I'm not aware of other bugs in the Windows specific code. As an example of what I am lamenting here is that there is a Win 2003 bug open since 20 March where restore of encrypted (and compressed if I remember right) data fails. Another example is that despite my repeated requests over something like a six month period, no one (at this moment) has signed up to do Win32, Solaris, or FreeBSD regression testing.

As far as this specific bug is concerned, I just realized it is assigned to me. However I thought there was someone else working on the Encryption code. Even though this problem is reported on Windows the problem is more likely to be a generic problem with encryption support. My solution to this problem is several fold: 1. As of release 2.2.0, Win32, Solaris, and FreeBSD will no longer be officially supported platforms. So that there is no misunderstanding, I definitely would like to see them supported, but I am no longer going to do it alone, which means that I will accept patches for them, I will not accept bug reports that are specific to those platforms, they will be documented as use if it works for you but don't complain if it doesn't, and the project will no longer supply binaries for the Director and Storage daemon for Win32. Users can build it themselves if they want to use it. I don't understand why you are taking this position in regards to the Windows version. We've talked a number of times about the support and documentation issues. I agreed to provide support for any Windows specific problems which I have been doing. As far as documentation is concerned, you said you would make the changes if I provided a description of the differences. In fact, in the last email you seemed quite happy when I mentioned that there aren't any real configuration differences other than the device names. The README file included with the installation documents all the differences of which I'm aware. I periodically run the Windows regression tests (which I ported). You've also asked for help running the regression tests which I agreed to do. But each time you've indicated it would be at some point in the future but you've never got back to me that you were ready. I also offered to do the Windows releases for you and you agreed it would help. However, whenever you are making a release you've said that you were taking care of the Windows release. Currently I'm working on the new Bacula Tray application. This will replace the built-in tray code. It will eliminate the need to run using the SYSTEM account. It also allows remote systems to be monitored. Encryption

Hopefully the VXA-172 has the same problem and I'll be able to solve both with one device. My hardware acquisition budget is already strained :-). Ahh, so you are saying that Maximum Volume Bytes, is the count of bytes sent to the tape drive, not the count of bytes written to the tape. Yes unfortunately Bacula has no way of knowing what the count was after compression, at least not in a device independent manner. brian- Robert Nelson wrote: Brian, Are you also seeing this on Windows?

When I try to run the vssadmin list writers, it waits for a response.
Like VSS is just hung up. I never do get a response from the vssadmin

It is difficult for me to reproduce the hung at end scenario. But
I'll certainly get you the output the next time I see it.
With the failed VSS components...When I check and Bacula hasn't been run
yet on the system, both are listed as stable. I did see another as
failed, and sometimes they return a status: 7, failed.
I do run some MS backups on this system as well. Hopefully those aren't
causing any conflicts.
Thanks again. A great community here.

That looks very good, doesn't seem we have any leftover crud.
A couple more notes that may or may not make a difference. I am
running
SQL Server Express 2005 on this system, and the event logs show the
databases freezing and unfreezing during the bacula backups. The log
is
telling me the database was successfully backed up, but I am not
backing
up anything from my SQL databases (to my knowledge).
That's expected, the system doesn't know what we'll be backing up at the
time we initiate the shadow.
Thanks
Mike
Can you also post the output from vssadmin list shadows when the
backup is
hung? Meanwhile, I'll check and make sure we release all our interface

Subject: [Bacula-users] Scheduled eject under windows?
Greetings List!
I've recently adopted bacula as a network backup solution for a small
number of servers. After working with it for a few hours, I stand
impressed. The flexibility and configuration options are awesome.
One thing I need help with is ejecting the tape, before it is full.
I would like to do a 5 week rotation on my tapes. The tapes are 400gb
LTO3, but right now I'm only writing about 200gb to them. I run a
full backup Monday night and differential backups Tuesday-Friday. I
would like the tape to eject on Monday morning so I can swap it for
the next week's tape.
My storage server is a Windows 2003 machine, which I understand comes
with risks. The drive lives on this machine because it is the one
with the bulk of the storage (~150g), so it made sense to have the
drive local to the biggest backup target.
From google, I've pieced together a few scraps for how I might
schedule the tape to eject, but so far I've had no luck.
I've set OfflineOnUnmount=yes in the storage daemon configuration, and
when I issue the unmount command in the wx-console, the tape
eventually ejects. So I've setup an admin job on the director, which
has a RunScript directive in it, commanding bconsole with the unmount
command. However, it's not working. I also don't receive any errors,
just that the job completed without error.
here's a snippet of my bacula-sd.conf
Device {
Name = LTO3 #
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = LTO3
Device Type = Tape
Archive Device = Tape0
AutomaticMount = yes # when device opened, read it
Offline On Unmount = Yes
AlwaysOpen = yes
RemovableMedia = yes
RandomAccess = no
Changer Device = Tape0
Alert Command = tapeinfo -f %c | findstr TapeAlert
}
and here's the job in bacula-dir.conf
Job {
Name = EjectTape
Type = Admin
RunScript {
Runs When = Before
AbortJobOnError = No
Command = bconsole c:\\eject
}
Schedule = EjectTape
Client = third-fd
Messages = Standard
Pool = Tape
Storage = LTO3
Fileset = Windows Full Set
}
the file c:\\eject is a plain text file with the contents:
unmount
quit
I have C:\Program Files\Bacula\bin in the system path, and if I run
that script command on the command line, the tape ejects.
Any suggestions???
Admin Jobs only run on the director, there is no client associated with
them. You haven't specified RunsOnClient=no so the script is scheduled to
run on the client which is never going to happen. Since the director is
running on a different machine from the tape drive running the script on the
director isn't going to help either.
What you really want is a RunScript command that runs on a Storage Daemon
but that facility isn't available.
Since in your case you know the storage daemon is on a specific client
machine you could run a fake backup job with the RunScript specifying
AbortJobOnError=yes and then put exit 1 at the end of the batch script.
Oh, on a side note, I'm having trouble with the tapealert feature:
State: 0x1 (VSS_WS_STABLE) 27-Mar 21:00 third-sd: 3997 Bad alert
command: tapeinfo -f Tape0 | findstr TapeAlert: ERR=Unknown error.
when I run the command tapeinfo -f Tape0 | findstr TapeAlert on the
command line, I get no output, which is to be expected. tapeinfo -f
Tape0 by itself gives me all sorts of data on the drive and tape. Any
thoughts about what it means bad alert command?
There is a problem with tapealert and Windows. Bacula calls that command
while it still has the device open so tapeinfo can't open it. This is a
known problem which will be fixed in a future release.
Thanks a bunch!
Gordon

Re: [Bacula-users] Should tapes drives on windows work?
There is one typo in your configuration; in the messages resource it should
be molerat-dir not molerat-sd. I doubt this has anything to do with the
problem though.
Are there any messages logged in the Windows Event log at the time of the
error?

Re: [Bacula-users] Should tapes drives on windows work?
The cap command just prints out the last error message encountered. It isn't actually hitting an error itself. To provide useful information you need to supply the error messages in the context in which they occur. I recommend starting btape with the -v and -d 100 options and then post the output. Are you using a blank tape?

On Mar 22, 2007, at 11:55 AM, Josh Fisher wrote: Erich Prinz wrote: True, drives are assigned the next available drive letter. In many of the simple deployments I have, it is a simple two disk rotation. The USB drives always get the same drive mapping - which can easily get thrown out of whack with the introduction of another device by an end user. Hence why servers run headless and locked away in closets. Just thinking out loud, but Is it possible to use UNC versus drive mappings? The win32 Bacula SD probably uses fopen() and so would support UNC paths. But I don't know if it is possible to symlink to a UNC path, so I don't know if UNC paths would work using the approach vchanger takes. Also, that would not affect how USB drives are handled. Hmmm isn't this the mechanism drive mapping uses essentially a symlink? UNC Paths are a network concept and don't apply to local disks unless they have been shared and are accessed through the redirector. Unless you are referring to names like \\??\C:\filename.ext, which look sort of like UNC paths but aren't. They still require a drive letter. Drive letters are just NT object manager symlinks (not the same as NTFS filesystem symlinks) to the device objects exposed by the disk device drivers. Similarly all WIN32 devices are just NT object manager symlinks to various device objects exposed by NT drivers. It should be possible to create a link between the USB disk device object and a name that is accessible to WIN32 applications using a path such as \\.\DriveName\filename.exe. I haven't tried this and I'm not sure that the c runtime apis such as fopen() and open() wouldn't get confused. Perhaps the best approach would be to force the use of a Windows 2k or greater NTFS filesystem on the USB drives to be used. Then it would be possible to mount the USB drive partition at a reparse point on the directory tree of a fixed disk NTFS volume, rather than assigning it a drive letter at all. A NTFS reparse point is essentially what the rest of the world calls a mountpoint. The difference is that in *nix any drive partition can be mounted at a given mountpoint, so we can have all of the drives associated with a virtual changer always be mounted at the same mountpoint and they don't even have to use the same filesystem. I'm not so sure how Windows determines which USB drive partitions get mounted at a particular reparse point, so I'm not sure if it is possible to have one reparse point at which all associated USB drives will get mounted. I don't know either. Reparse points are more than mount points. They are also used to implement symlinks, Distributed File System, Remote Storage Server, and numerous other things where you need a file system object to contain meta data which represents something else. In theory it shouldn't matter what fs is the target of a reparse point, although the NTFS filesystem might enforce that it is NTFS so that applications aren't confused by the filesystem characteristics changing in the middle of the file tree. But I don't think this is case. The only restriction I know of is that the filesystem that contains the reparse point must support them (kind of obvious :-) The trick is preventing the mount manager from assigning a drive letter. It uses information in the registry to specify which volume devices are allocated drive letters and which ones should be mounted on a mount point. I'm not sure if it is valid to have multiple volumes map to the same mount point. It should be possible to create a utility that creates the appropriate information so that the mount manager will mount the device automatically on the mount point. But you would have to connect the USB device and then run the utility. I'll see if I can whip something up tomorrow. I am certain that the FAT32 filesystem could not be used without drive letters. I'm not so sure about that. Most USB drives ship with FAT32, however, it carries a 2GB limit on file size and that fact can cause issues. IMO on the WIN side of the world, NTFS would be the only format to use for more reasons than just the above. However, reparse points would eliminate the drive letter assignment problems and at least allow defining one reparse point per drive. Robert Nelson would be an excellent resource on this question. I've cc'd him too. Erich On Mar 21, 2007, at 2:10 PM, Josh Fisher wrote: Erich Prinz wrote: Any chance of a Wintel version becoming available? In Windows, drives are mounted by drive letter.

Re: [Bacula-users] Path length
You can use v2.0 Windows Clients with v1.38 Servers. In general we always try to make sure clients and servers within 1 major release of each other work. This allows staged upgrades. The only thing you need to do is make sure you don't use any new features. However it is best to upgrade the down rev machines as soon as possible so you can take advantage of new features and to simplify management. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:bacula-users- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kel Raywood Sent: Friday, March 16, 2007 10:55 PM To: Bacula-Users Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Path length Hi Rui, you wrote: ...

Re: [Bacula-users] ***************URGENT************Need Help!***************
First of all start with the configuration files installed by the installer.
They have examples that you should be able to use by just uncommenting the
proper definitions and changing a few entries. I dont know now you created
these configurations but they are all messed up. You have entries from the
Autochanger resource in your Device resource and you are missing the
Autochanger resource.
You need to pay particular attention to how the various resource structures
from the configuration files reference each other. For example the Device
in the Storage resource in the Director configuration file must match the
Name in the Device resource in the Storage configuration file. In your case
it should be HP_Ultrium not the physical address. Device Names such as
changer0, tape0 and 4:0:5:1 are only specified in the Storage configuration.
Spend some time looking at the example configs and read the documentation
and youll probably have much better luck.

Hi Robert,
This comment is in reference to the conversation about using HP Windows
Drivers.
In my conversations with HP and other vendors about drivers and tape
drives on Windows, the consensus seemed to be that using Windows drivers
created more problems that they solved. Their advice was to address the
scsi devices directly. The benefits are increased throughput and fewer
problems communicating with the devices.
I do not have experience running the Bacula sd on Windows, but I have
run other enterprise backup systems on Windows and this was the advice I
was given by the vendors. IIRC, the issue is with scsi device command
communication, and the applications handled it better directly with the
devices than through the Windows drivers.
The earlier advice about determining the device id's using scsilist.exe
would facilitate this, I think.
FWIW.

First of all start with the configuration files installed by the

uncommenting the proper definitions and changing a few entries. I
dont know now you created these configurations but they are all
messed up. You have entries from the Autochanger resource in your
Device resource and you are missing the Autochanger resource.
You need to pay particular attention to how the various resource
structures from the configuration files reference each other. For
example the Device in the Storage resource in the Director
configuration file must match the Name in the Device resource in the
Storage configuration file. In your case it should be HP_Ultrium not
the physical address. Device Names such as changer0, tape0 and
4:0:5:1 are only specified in the Storage configuration.
Spend some time looking at the example configs and read the
documentation and youll probably have much better luck.

Their advice was to address the scsi devices directly. The benefits are increased throughput and fewer problems communicating with the devices. I think this may be more a reflection of their driver writing ability then anything inherent in accessing a device using the Windows driver. :-) As far as throughput is concerned, for changer devices it really isn't relevant since the time taken by the robotics far exceeds any overhead from the drivers. Not to mention that in the case of Bacula, and most UNIX derived Backup software, an external program is executed to perform the actual changer operations; so performance isn't really an issue. For tape devices, the only area where performance can be adjusted is in the time required to setup the next write / read after the completion of the current one. If you are using overlapped I/O and submitting multiple requests concurrently to the driver then it can initiate the next request without transitioning back to user mode and incurring a context switch. So it would definitely perform much better than a user-mode application issuing the SCSI commands. The driver also has access to constructs, like tagged command queuing, that aren't available to the application. I do not have experience running the Bacula sd on Windows, but I have run other enterprise backup systems on Windows and this was the advice I was given by the vendors. IIRC, the issue is with scsi device command communication, and the applications handled it better directly with the devices than through the Windows drivers. I suspect that the other Enterprise Backup vendors are basing their comments on experience with Windows 9X as well as their experience with some Windows NT drivers that may not have been written correctly. Also developers tend to stick to what they know and the software was probably originally written to send the commands directly. The only advantage with bypassing a well written Windows driver is access to some SCSI facilities that may not be abstracted through the driver model such as device and tape diagnostic information. The earlier advice about determining the device id's using scsilist.exe would facilitate this, I think. The one thing you need to be careful of is that if there is a class driver loaded, such as the tape class driver then you must send the SCSI commands to it rather than to the physical address.

Which part of this information from the Readme.txt file did you not understand? Storage Device Names There is a utility installed called scsilist.exe which displays the installed devices, their physical address and their device name. A link to it is created in the Bacula menu when the Storage service is installed. Changer and Tape device names in Windows are Changer0, Changer1, etc and Tape0, Tape1, etc. If there isn't a device driver loaded for the Changer then you need to use the address Port:Bus:Target:Lun. Port is the SCSI Adapter Number, Bus is the Bus Number on the adapter (usually 0 since most adapters only have one bus), Target is the device's Target Device ID, Lun is the Logical Unit Number. You must specify DeviceType = tape in the Device resource in bacula-sd.conf since auto detection of device type doesn't work at the present time. _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 12, 2007 2:37 AM To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Bacula-users] ***URGENTNeed Help!*** Hi all, In my Bacula Server I have this list of devices given by bacula's device list DeviceType Physical Name == HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GSA-H21L CDRom0:0:0:0 CdRom0 HP Ultrium 1-SCSI P53W Tape 4:0:5:0 Tape0 HP 1x8 autoloader 1.50 Changer 4:0:5:1 DY5402J FCM024K 1.0CDRom5:0:0:0 Press any key to continue I need to specify my Archive Device = and my Changer Device = in the bacula's configuration file bacula-sd .conf !!

Re: [Bacula-users] Unable to truncate volume
The only time ftruncate returns EINVAL is if the file size is negative which is not the case here. So that error means that some system call that ftruncate made failed with an error that the C runtime didn't expect, unknown error codes are mapped to EINVAL. So the most likely guilty party is antivirus software. Do you have an anti-virus package running? If so which one? Are you using its autoprotect feature?

Both your assumptions are correct... unfortunately, it seems to be hard task collecting and keeping up-to-date a compatibility list. The problem starts with the fact that many users don't report their configuration. For those of us that do, a page in the wiki might be a good starting point. The luxury version would be a database accessible through a web front end, and when starting Bacula the first time you get asked if you want your systems data uploaded automatically to the database... now we only need someone to implement this :-) Regards, Ivan Arno -- IT-Service Lehmann[EMAIL PROTECTED] Arno Lehmann http://www.its-lehmann.de - Take Surveys.

Re: [Bacula-users] Director not connecting to MySQL / Bacula 2.0.2Win32 binaries
Did you select MySQL in the director configuration page in the installer?
Can you send me a copy of the install.log file from the \Program

Subject: [Bacula-users] Director not connecting to MySQL / Bacula
2.0.2Win32 binaries
Hi,
I've been testing Bacula 2.0.2 for about a week now with the following
config:
- All deamons on various Win32 boxes (2Ksrv, XP pro),
- sqlite for the catalog.
Now that everyting is working quite well, i'd like to use a MySQL database
for
the catalog instead of the default sqlite.
So I install everything from scratch on a new box. The Win32 installer
correctly
sees the MySQL instance precedly installed 'Found MySQL (version 5.0.27)'
in the
messages list, but:
1/ all the MySQL related scripts *mysql*.(sql)|(cmd) are not installed
(neither
mind, got them from the source tarball)
2/ the director is enable to connect to the MySQL database (I can manually
connect to the bacula database with the MySQL command line Client and yes:
the
database is created, the tables too)
When starting the Director (bacula-dir.exe) the error message is as
follow:
'bacula-dir Fatal error: ../../cats/sqlite.c:154 Database
FullPathTodatabase_name.db does not exist, please create it'
== Seems that there is only the sqlite'support compiled into the
binaries?
== I played with the various items in the catalog{} ressource (DB
Address, DB
Port) with no luck.
== By the way here is my Catalog ressource in the bacula-dir.conf:
Catalog {
Name = Catalog1
DBName = bacula#== matchs the MySQL database created
user = bacula
password = bacula #== I can manually connect to the database with
this
login/pwd
DBAddress = localhost #== tested with 127.0.0.1 , FQN, too but no luck
DBPort = 3306 #== with or without this option
}
Any hint or help will be greatly appreciated (as I can't find any topic in
the
doc and/or newsgroups)
Many thanks in advance.
Marc.

Re: [Bacula-users] Backing up and restoring Windows permissions
Ralf and I did some testing offline. The problem is with zero length files,
the error is in this code taken from save_file() in filed/backup.c
/*
* Open any file with data that we intend to save, then save it.
*
* Note, if is_win32_backup, we must open the Directory so that
* the BackupRead will save its permissions and ownership streams.
*/
if (ff_pkt-type != FT_LNKSAVED (S_ISREG(ff_pkt-statp.st_mode)
ff_pkt-statp.st_size 0) ||
ff_pkt-type == FT_RAW || ff_pkt-type == FT_FIFO ||
(!is_portable_backup(ff_pkt-bfd) ff_pkt-type == FT_DIREND)) {
We never open the file or do a BackupRead if the file is zero length.
Kern, can you see any problem if we just remove the ff_pkt-statp.st_size
0 portion of the test?

Kern, can you see any problem if we just remove the ff_pkt-
statp.st_size
0 portion of the test?
Yes, that might create some errors on portable Win32 and on Unix, and it
will
certainly cause extra overhead. On those systems, if the filesize is
zero,
we do not want to open it.
IMO, the if needs to be re-written so that the size test is used in all
cases
except for !is_portable_backup(...).
Probably about 10-20 minutes of hard thought could produce an if that is
much
more understandable (or several ifs if that is what it takes to simplify
it).

Re: [Bacula-users] [Bacula-devel] Conversion from CVS to Subversion (svn)
One minor clarification below -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:bacula-devel- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kern Sibbald Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2007 5:24 AM To: bacula-devel; bacula-users Subject: [Bacula-devel] Conversion from CVS to Subversion (svn) Hello, As you probably know Robert and I (mostly Robert) have been working on converting the CVS repository into a Subversion repository. The conversion is now complete. Bottom line: - The CVS is deactivated and can no longer be accessed (I think). The CVS tree is still accessible at the old paths, it just can't be updated because write access has been removed from all the developers. It is still possible to browse it using the original url: http://bacula.cvs.sourceforge.net/bacula This is useful if you need to refer back to one of the obsolete directories that weren't migrated to Subversion. - The Bacula page on Source Forge now has links in the Code menu item to the SVN Browser, and information about SVN, i.e. how to checkout the repository. - The repository is organized a bit differently from before, and if you checkout the the whole Bacula project, you will get the code to everything.

Re: [Bacula-users] Some files always backed up, even without changes
Incremental backups are based solely on the modification date of the file.

Most likely these files have bogus modification dates sometime in the future. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:bacula-users- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam Compton Sent: Monday, February 05, 2007 9:25 AM To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Bacula-users] Some files always backed up, even without changes Hello, I am having a strange issue with some files always being backed up during incremental runs, even if they have not changed since the last incremental backup. In particular, I have a working directory of custom installer packages for some of the educational software we run here, and two of the ~30 package roots are being backed up during each incremental job, even though they haven't been touched in the interim. It's fine with me that they be backed up during full runs, of course, but having them backed up during the daily incrementals is chewing through my backup volume like crazy. This is with the director, file daemon, and storage daemon all running on the same machine, and with the storage daemon writing to a file volume. The machine is a Gentoo Linux install (uname -a: Linux hercules 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 #2 Sat Nov 4 00:09:36 PST 2006 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux), and bacula is at version 2.0.0. I've run both the director and the file daemon at -d200, but I can't seem to figure out exactly where these files are selected to be backed up (although I can see them being backed up, of course).

I am currently evaluating bacula, especially for backing up Windows machines. My basic test setup works (director and storage on Linux (2.0.2), fd on Windows (2.0.1)) and I can backup and restore data from the Windows machine. However, I can not seem to recreate the permissions on restore. The test setup is as follows: A file is created on C:\TEMP, having the inherited permission of Everyone - Full access. The Windows machine is part of a AD domain, and additional permissions are granted on the file to a user from that domain (does not matter who), say Allow read, deny remove. The file is backed up, and deleted on the Windows machine. It is then restored from backup. The file comes back, but it just gets the inherited permissions, the additional permissions for the AD user are gone. According to what I have read there is nothing special I have to do in order to have Windows permissions backed up, but I may have missed something. The fd is running as a service, tried with both the local SYSTEM account and a Domain administrative account. - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

[Bacula-users] MTX Announcement
I'm now the owner / maintainer of the mtx project ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/mtx ). This means that we can get any changes, that we need, integrated back into the standard releases. One of the first things I did while porting the web site from Eric's machine to SourceForge was add Bacula (with a link to our webpage) to the examples of applications that can be used with mtx. :-) Please let me know if you know of any outstanding patches or feature requests. The project has been converted from CVS to Subversion. I released a new version (1.3.10) of the development tree, the first new version in a year and only the second new version in 5 years. This new version incorporates my changes to support Windows as well as support for the Sony VGP-XL1B 200 Disc CD/DVD Changer. I've redesigned the Compatibility Database and the Web pages that are used to access and update it. It should be much easier to browse the existing entries and to report your success with various Media Changers. Please take the time to try version 1.3.10 and report the compatibility results. ( http://mtx.sourceforge.net/contrib.php ) Once the current development version has received enough testing I'll be promoting it to stable status. The current stable version is over 4 years old and quite out of date. This will make the current version available much more widely since the Linux distributions usually only pick up the stable versions. - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Re: [Bacula-users] Solved why Windows FD 1.38 sometime is slow
It sounds like Flow Control might be disabled on one of the adapters. _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gabriele Bulfon Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 9:42 AM To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Bacula-users] Solved why Windows FD 1.38 sometime is slow I had headaches for a week, trying to figure out why some windows FDs were VERY slow compared to all the rest of FDs. These slow clients were all rating at around 1Mb/s. After playing a bit with many system and bacula parameters, I decided not to trust what was stated in the manual: the default Maximum Network Buffer Size = 32768. Because I tried rising this parameter to double default, both on sd and all fds, and noticed that I had a slow down of all the FDs, I put back everything to default. Then I decided to explicitly set the Maximum Network Buffer Size = 32768 to the windows machine that was still so slowand it magically started to work as the rest of fds!!! Beacuse I have another windows FD on the same installation, with the same version of bacula, and this one was going fine with the default (MNB not specified), what I believe is that the windows setup has been built with a different default (maybe 65536), and this setting may be fine only in specific situations. What I mean, is that probably 32768 is fine for almost any card, but 65536 may be fine only for cards that support this buffer size. What I know now is that explicitly setting the buffer to 32768 on the bacula fd will work. After finding this, I did the same on other 3 installations where I had similar problems, and it worked!

After some fifteen tries to install and uninstall bacula in various ways i've decided to go the with the merest: 1. stop the service 2. replace the binary files 3. start the service again. as far as i've tested this, it works completely fine, and you do not have to play with nullsoft installers. I would like however to add some comments on the installers. Installer (as well as uninstaller) shows way to much messages which do not require any reaction form the user. For instance, why do we need that service was successfully installed (removed) message? I believe there should only be one saying, that service install failed, in case that happens. If (un)installer wouldn't have this irritating feature, it'd be easy to push new versios using the original installers, since the /S switch takes care of pretty much all the rest. Regards, Mantas. Does anyone have any scripts to push updates to clients on Windows 2000 network? OR alternatively, does Bacula-2.0.1.exe has any command line switches to help to automate deployment? If, nothing exists, I will write batch or bash script to do it. BTW - I did see the script to update existing 1.3x installs, but since the 2.0 is quite different, it will not work.

Re: [Bacula-users] windows xp sp2 and powerfile c200 disc changer
No chance of that working until I issue a new update to mtx. I have a C200
and it has a rather severe bug that I have a fix for.
As for not showing up with scsilist that is a separate issue. The C200
driver doesn't create a normal WIN32 device name. So you have to enter the
setupapi Device Interface Name. This is a really long name that is really
ugly and is not supposed to be entered manually. (The intent is a program
enumerates the devices and shows the user the friendly names and then uses
the ugly one internally to open the device. I'll be adding support for
those in the next version of scsilist.
In the meantime you can figure out the name manually, it should be in the
registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceClasses\{53f56310-
b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b}
Under that key will be another key starting with ##?#SBP2#POWERFILE-C200...
If you strip off the leading ##?# and pass the rest of that keyname as the
device name (in double quotes) it should work. For example on my system the
command is:
mtx -f
SBP2#POWERFILE-C200DISC_CHANGERLUN2#003060f22832#{53f56310-b6bf-11d0-
94f2-00a0c91efb8b} status
If you can build the Windows version yourself then I can send you the
updated patch to mtx, otherwise let me know and I can build it for you.
I have fixes to support the Sony VGP-XL1B as well.

I can't even get my changer to show up when I use
scsilist.exe although it is listed in the windows

All I really need bacula (mtx?) to do is change out
and mount/unmount discs. I can script all the copying

If you have a powerfile that you can operate with
bacula or any other free/open source software on a win

Necessary, there are two command line parsers that get run. The one in the Windows wrapper code which uses / and the one in the underlying Bacula code that uses -. The /install, /remove, /service, etc are all interpreted by the wrapper. The install command just takes whatever comes after the /install and puts it into the service command line. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Arno Lehmann Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2007 12:50 AM To: 'bacula-users' Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Win2k Automated Upgrade from 1.3x to 2.0 Hello, On 1/25/2007 9:27 AM, Robert Nelson wrote: Ah I just noticed a small omission :-) (One that would cause the installed service not to work :-O.

Re: [Bacula-users] ClientRunBeforeJob (XP Client) Crashes -- Me Too
I never saw this on the developer's alias so it took me a lot longer to see it. Anyways, the simplest way to handle paths with spaces is don't put them in. :-) If you just put the program name in then Bacula will search using the same rules that cmd.exe uses (current directory, Bacula bin directory, and PATH). It will even try the different extensions in the same order as cmd.exe. If you have slashes in the program name then Bacula figures you went to all that trouble to fully specify the name, the least you can do is append the 3 character extension. So if your script is in the Bacula\bin directory then the following lines should work fine: Client Run Before Job = systemstate Or Client Run Before Job = systemstate.bat Or Client Run Before Job = systemstate Or Client Run Before Job = systemstate.bat Or ClientRunBeforeJob = \C:/Program Files/Bacula/systemstate.bat\ The outer set of quotes is removed when the configuration file is parsed. You need to escape the inner quotes so that they are there when the code that parses the command line for execution runs so it can tell what the program name is. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Erich Prinz Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2007 6:53 AM To: Silver Salonen Cc: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] ClientRunBeforeJob (XP Client) Crashes -- Me Too You might want to send this (the last posting) to the developers list for Robert to look over.

Re: [Bacula-users] Off-topic: FAT32 disaster recovery
Yep Microsoft is so obviously at fault here. First of all they designed FAT in the late 70s. Shame on them for using a filesystem design similar to all the other systems at the time. Then to top it off they have the audacity to try and repair it when the user boots the system with a drive attached which is corrupted. UNIX is such a better system. Let's see what does it do in a similar situation? Well fsck notices the drive needs repair, finds all these file fragments that are listed as allocated but not attached to any directory. Gee it makes up names for them and puts them in the lost+found directory. Gee seems like exactly the same thing to me. The only real lessons to be learned here is. If your drive has a problem don't continue to use it without fixing the problem. Don't use an OS that caches data on removable drives (Windows doesn't MAC OS apparently does). Don't use an OS that mounts a drive that hasn't been closed properly (another MAC deficiency versus Windows). Finally don't give your drive to someone that doesn't know what they're talking about to have it fixed. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alan Brown Sent: Friday, December 08, 2006 6:16 AM To: Georg Altmann Cc: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Off-topic: FAT32 disaster recovery On Fri, 8 Dec 2006, Georg Altmann wrote: Unfortunately nice people from Redmond can get in your way here. understatement I attached the FireWire disk to my desktop, booted Windows XP Now you know why you should NEVER use MS products and operating systems to recover corrupted MS filesystems.

Hi Kern, On thing that you might try is to add the Volume name(s) to the catalog by doing an add command before running the restore. This can't be done because there are no pools defined in an empty database and the pool is not included in the BSR: bcsonole start *add volume You probably don't want to be using this command since it creates database records without labeling the Volumes. You probably want to use the label command. Using default Catalog name=MyCatalog DB=bacula No pools defined.

What would you suggest? I know I've caught you at a bad time because of the imminent release of 1.40 - would you be able to advise on a patch which removes the SD statistic write to the Catalog which may be the cause?

The question is actually fundamentally quite simple...Can a BSR file be used to perform a restore if you have the boostrap file and backup data...but have lost the Catalog? The situation being, of course, failure of the server itself, where Bacula runs. I have gone under the assumption for the last year or so that this was possible, but with current testing over the last week, I'm starting to think this it is not. In principle it was supposed to work without needing the catalog. It looks like at some point I wasn't thinking through all the consequences and added code to ensure that the SD updated the catalog with the read statistics, so I imagine that is what is going on. On thing that you might try is to add the Volume name(s) to the catalog by doing an add command before running the restore. The correct solution is for the SD during a restore to attempt to read the Volume data from the catalog, but instead of failing when the data is not there, it should complain and continue. The test is to save to a mounted file (Windows share) system. I had read in prior posts where the MediaType must be unique or you get into some problems. I have ensured to do this. Here's a short summary of test results: TEST 1 == 1. Perform a backup of the server 2. Perform a 'run job=Restore' using 'mod' to specify the BSR file created automatically in step 1. Result: Restore OK (the catalog still existed) TEST 2 == 1. Perform a backup of the server 2. Run /drop_mysql_database, create_mysql_database, make_mysql_tables scripts to simulate the loss of the server (Catalog). 3. Perform a 'run job=Restore' using 'mod' to specify the BSR file created automatically in step 1. Result: Restore FAILS I have provided some debug below. It looks as though the restore first tries to match the VolumeName picked up from the BSR against the Catalog. Containing no data (because the database was re-initialized between backup/restore), this operation, of course, fails. At this point, I'm not certain what happens...if a BSR restore with no Catalog is possible, one would think that the SD would see if it could find the Volume specified in the BSR. I *think* this is happening, but somewhere along the line, the VolumeName becomes nil. I know I can use bextract to do a successful restore in this case...but it's not as convenient and it would be good to clear up the capabilities anyways, because the section on Disaster Recovery doesn't (IMO) definitively say what I'm trying to do is possible.

Is SQLite3 really this bad? I can't imagine so or it wouldn't survive. In that case, there must be something that we are doing or not doing in Bacula or some problem in our build options that is killing the performance. Is anyone out there using SQLite3?

Yet more disinformation, Microsoft hasn't released a desktop OS in more than 7 years that required FAT or even selected it as the default on new installations. Yes all Microsoft Operating Systems still support FAT as do all other Operating Systems. Otherwise it would be very hard to get your photos off the compact flash cards, etc. As for your proverbial casual user, let's use a car as an example. Someone is driving down the street and the engine starts making a funny noise. Does he take it to a mechanic; no he continues to drive it. Now the warning lights are starting to come on in the dash, is it time to seek help? Nope he keeps driving. Finally the car stops running, must be that d*mn Ford engine. Finally, regarding my other comment to which you seemed to have taken offense, continuing with the car analogy, does the user seek the advice of the mechanic? Nope he goes and asks his friend, who also drives a car, if he can fix it. By your own admission you've said you don't understand the internals of filesystems, you don't know what chkdsk does, and you don't know about the various tools available for fixing corrupted drives.

And now you still find disks in the range of multiple hundert GBs using a filesystem which wasn't designed for disks of this size. Problem is you almost have no choice, because it is in fact the only fs that is support on all platforms. Linux is coming up with some experimental NTFS support, though I wouldn't want to use that for critical data yet... The only real lessons to be learned here is. If your drive has a problem don't continue to use it without fixing the problem. Explain that to the casual computer user... Don't use an OS that caches data on removable drives (Windows doesn't MAC OS apparently does). Don't use an OS that mounts a drive that hasn't been closed properly (another MAC deficiency versus Windows). Finally don't give your drive to someone that doesn't know what they're talking about to have it fixed. Finally please stop making personal offenses. Thank you. Regards, Georg - Take Surveys.

Re: [Bacula-users] Windows backup to network speed issues
I get similar times between all the combinations I test, Windows - Linux, Linux - Windows, Linux - Linux and Windows - Windows. However it did take some tweaking. The first thing to check is to see if you are getting a lot of TCP/IP errors. This could indicate one of adapters isn't running full duplex or there is some other configuration problem. The other thing is the various TCP/IP tuning parameters such as Window Size, etc. Another thing that can make a huge difference, if you are running a gigabit network, is use large packets. Then there are all the apples and oranges issues. Are the machines being tested all on the same network segment, do they have equivalent hardware (disk speed can make a huge difference), etc. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of DAve Sent: Friday, December 08, 2006 9:20 AM To: bacula-users Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Windows backup to network speed issues Brian Jones wrote: I have a question on the speed of backing up Windows 2003/2000/XP boxes to disk across the network.

There are several things that explain most of my differences. The load on the server that is running the client can have a big effect. I have one very busy web server that backs up considerably slower than my FTP server. I noticed as well that full backups of a not in use file system go much faster than a differential of a heavily used filesystem. Not Bacula faults, just the situation. I have tried to move my backup schedules to run when there is the least number of processes to interfer with the Bacula client. Also, keep in mind, the transfer rate is not just the network speed attained, but the rate at which the data is transfered via Bacula which includes verification, compression, disk reading on the client box, and disk writing on the storage box. In my testing a straight data transfer such as ftp always outruns Bacula, so comparisons are not valid. DAve -- Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a logo change for Memorial Day.

One other thing, as I was reminded earlier this week by a problem Arno was having, whenever something weird is going on with your Window machine, try disabling the anti-virus. The same goes with any firewall software.

Re: [Bacula-users] checksums
You could always do the checksum and copy before the backup. Just dump the files to a different directory.

Re: [Bacula-users] Job fails if data size reaches more than 2,5GB
This is a result of using a signed 32 bit integer (off_t) in the Bacula code. I've rewritten the code to define a new type boffset_t which is defined as a signed 64 bit integer on Windows. If you would like to test the change and can receive large email messages ( 15 MB) let me know and I'll mail an updated installer to you.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula compatible with Sony SDX-520C AIT2?
You need to use the tape device /dev/nstX
not the generic scsi device /dev/sgX for tape software like tar, Bacula, btape,
etc.
If /dev/nst0 isnt the right device
then try /dev/nst1, etc.
Anyways this is an OS problem not a Bacula
problem.

Re: [Bacula-users] Restoring archives on windows systems, compression+encryption
Generally, released versions have even numbers; odd numbers are built from the CVS. It looks like you built your own Linux version from CVS but not your Windows software. Since this fix was very recent there are no released versions available incorporating it. Kern will be releasing a new version in the next week or so. If you are unable to build it AND your email server allows large attachments ( 15MB) I can send you an Installer binary. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Brennen Sent: Wednesday, November 08, 2006 9:32 AM To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Cc: Robert Nelson Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Restoring archives on windows systems,compression+encryption On Wednesday 08 November 2006 00:56, Michael Brennen wrote: On Tue, 7 Nov 2006, Robert Nelson wrote: You aren't going to have any luck with 1.39.26 on Windows since it doesn't have any of the fixes.

Hi All
Many Thanks to everybody who helped out on the multiple media types and
correctly scheduling the Full and Differential backups for me. The schedule
and media switch works now, but...
Something is wrong with my Sony AIT2 tape device (or tapes) itself - see log
below.
I've checked Google for ERR-Invalid argument, and have since used my
Cleaning Tape a number of times on the drive and also tried a few new blank
tapes on the device.
This might not be directly a Bacula issue as I am getting the same errors
with btape/test and tar commands.
Here is my tar test commands and responses:
[@ bacula]# mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
[@ bacula]# tar cvf /dev/nst0 .
./
./mtx-changer
./grant_mysql_privileges
./grant_bacula_privileges
./bacula-sd.conf

tar: /dev/nst0: Cannot read: Invalid argument
tar: At beginning of tape, quitting now
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now [@ bacula]# mt -f /dev/nst0

Here is my btape SonyAIT test results:

Can anybody help me out on this please? Is my tape device itself faulty or
not compatable? Or are there other configurations that I need to make
first?

Re: [Bacula-users] [Bacula-devel] info about CONFIG_FILE
I reserved comment on the substance of the patch until it was in a form that
was easily reviewed.
But now that you bring it up, :-) yes configure should not be modifying the
source files directly that is exactly what config.h is for.
However when you are adding a new feature, you don't want to break the
existing behaviour if at all possible. I've already implemented part of
this in version 1.39.27. But I made it look in the standard directory only
if it didn't exist in the current directory.
I didn't want to change configure at this late stage so it just defaults to
/etc/bacula on Unix and the All Users\Application Data\Bacula directory on
Windows. I didn't think there were a large number of users using alternate
directories for their configuration files.
Since this is the second time in a week someone has requested this I'll
reconsider it.

I think the defaults for these should be defined via one generated header

(maybe config.h?). I.e. files like console.c should contain
#define CONFIG_FILE DEFAULT_CONFIG_DIR/bconsole.conf
and the generated header file should define DEFAULT_CONFIG_DIR.

There appears to be a mismatch in line endings between the original

Before you submit a patch you should review it to make sure that it only

So I applied a patch which will set correct path to CONFIG_FILE when

For those of you using the 1.39.x beta releases, I just committed some changes to the CVS (Version 1.39.27). The biggest change applies to all platforms. As a result of this change it should no longer be necessary to supply a ?c option or have the configuration files in the current directory when running the daemons or utilities interactively. I?ve changed the daemons and utilities so that if -c is omitted from the command line AND there is no configuration file in the current directory then the standard configuration file (eg /etc/bacula/bacula-*.conf) will be used. If the argument to -c doesn't contain any path separators AND there is no configuration file by that name in the current directory then the standard configuration file directory will be searched for a file by that name.

Re: [Bacula-users] [Bacula-devel] Encryption/Compression Conflict in CVS
Before I cause a panic, there is a cut/paste error in my description below.

Thanks for the explaination. I'll respond as soon as I can, but I would also like to see Landon's response. Perhaps if I explained the problem: Currently (as of 1.39.27) No filters = Works fine Sparse = Works fine Compression = Works fine Encryption = Works fine Sparse + Compression = Restore broken Sparse + Encryption = Restore broken Sparse + Compression + Encryption = Restore broken Compression + Encryption = Restore broken With my fix ( 1.39.27): All combinations work fine. But restoration of old backups (1.39.x) using encryption alone or in combination with other filters is broken. Since all cases of encryption in combination with anything else were already broken, that just leaves encryption alone. I could special case the handling of just encryption so that it would be stored differently than when used in combination with other filters. This would allow old encrypted backups to be read at the expense of having two versions of the encryption and decryption code. Since this is a brand new feature I don't think changing the archive format at this point would affect that many people. Particularly since the archives are unreadable if they've used it in combination with compression or sparse file handling. I think it is safer to just say that previously written archives using encryption aren't readable and should be recreated. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kern Sibbald Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 4:40 PM To: Robert Nelson Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 'Landon Fuller'; bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bacula-devel] [Bacula-users] Encryption/Compression Conflict in CVS This code is backwards compatible for everything except encrypted data.

Re: [Bacula-users] [Bacula-devel] Encryption/Compression Conflict in CVS
I've checked in the fix which makes everything work properly. I've tested every combination of encryption, sparse and compression, both backup and restore. I've also compared the restored contents against the original to ensure that there is no corruption of the data. Any previous backups that were encrypted aren't readable. All other previous backups can be restored fine. -Original Message- From: Kern Sibbald [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 4:23 PM To: Robert Nelson Cc: 'Landon Fuller'; 'Michael Brennen'; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bacula-devel] [Bacula-users] Encryption/Compression Conflict in CVS The problem is that currently there are three filters defined: compression, encryption, and sparse file handling. The current implementation of compression and sparse file handling both require block boundary preservation. Even if zlib streaming could handle the existing block based data, sparse file handling would be broken. It seems to me that it is probably time to come up with a better way to handle filters, but it is probably too late for 1.40 to make any major changes to the code. I think the most important two points are: 1. Ensure that old Volumes are readable wherever possible. 2. Fix 1.40 so that it works correctly. As far as point 2 is concerned, if it is not possible to fix it easily or correctly, we could consider disallowing certain combinations of options -- at least until we can find a better way to handle multiple filters. -Original Message- From: Landon Fuller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 02, 2006 11:06 AM To: Robert Nelson Cc: 'Michael Brennen'; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Encryption/Compression Conflict in CVS On Nov 2, 2006, at 08:30, Robert Nelson wrote: Landon, I've changed the code so that the encryption code prefixes the data block with a block length prior to encryption.

My original assumption was that Bacula used the zlib streaming API to maintain state during file compression/decompression, but this is not the case. Reality is something more like this: Backup: - Set up the zlib stream context - For each file block (not each file), compress the block via deflate (stream, Z_FINISH); and reinitialize the stream. - After all files (and blocks) are compressed, destroy the stream context Restore: - For each block, call uncompress(), which does not handle streaming. This is a unfortunate -- reinitializing the stream for each block significantly degrades compression efficiency, as 1) block boundaries are dynamic and may be set arbitrarily, 2) the LZ77 algorithm may cross block boundaries, referring up to 32k of previous input data. (http://www.gzip.org/zlib/rfc-deflate.html#overview), 3) The huffman coding context comprises the entire block, 4) There's no need to limit zlib block size to bacula's block size. The next question is this -- as we *should* stream the data, does it make sense to enforce downstream block boundaries in the upstream filter? I'm siding in favor requiring streaming support, and thus allowing the individual filter implementor to worry about their own block buffering, since they can far better encapsulate necessary state and implementation -- and most already do. The one other thing I am unsure of is whether the zlib streaming API correctly handles streams that have been written as per above -- each bacula data block as an independent 'stream'. If zlib DOES handle this, it should be possible to modify the backup and restore implementation to use the stream API correctly while maintaining backwards compatibility. This would fix the encryption problem AND increase compression efficiency. With my extremely large database backups, I sure wouldn't mind increased compression efficiency =) Some documentation on the zlib API is available here (I had a little difficulty googling this): http

I guess it comes down to the definition of previous versions.

Re: [Bacula-users] Encryption/Compression Conflict in CVS
In that case, would you like me to commit the code I have? I agree about reworking the stream implementation. The existing code could be written as a number of filters: gzip, openssl, sparse, block/deblock. With a well defined API you would be able to define new stream types in the configuration files using these filters in addition to external filters located in shared libraries. -Original Message- From: Landon Fuller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 02, 2006 3:38 PM To: Robert Nelson Cc: 'Michael Brennen'; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Encryption/Compression Conflict in CVS On Nov 2, 2006, at 13:22, Robert Nelson wrote: The problem is that currently there are three filters defined: compression, encryption, and sparse file handling.

Re: [Bacula-users] Encryption/Compression Conflict in CVS
Actually this bug is quite simple to fix. The problem is that the backup and restore both do them in the same order instead of inverting the order on restore. Current Code: compress - encrypt - decompress - decrypt It should be: compress - encrypt - decrypt - decompress I can change the restore order so that existing backups will become readable and new backups will work whether created by the old software or the new. I'll commit the fix once I've finished testing it. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Arno Lehmann Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2006 3:43 AM To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Encryption/Compression Conflict in CVS Hi, On 11/1/2006 5:43 AM, Michael Brennen wrote: I posted a couple of days ago that restoring files from 1.39.27 (current CVS) with both encryption and compression turned on resulted in 0 length files being restored.

Running neither, compression alone or encryption alone I was able to archive and restore a file correctly. Running the two together I was able to reproduce the problem of 0 length restores, with no apparent errors. So... in my testing the combination of encryption and compression is either not writing files correctly to tape (in which case there is a lot of tape space taken up needlessly :) or the files are being corrupted in the restore process; it appears to me to be the latter.

Re: [Bacula-users] Encryption/Compression Conflict in CVS
On top of the issue with the reversed processing during restore that I previously mentioned, there is a fundamental flaw in the processing of compressed+gzipped data. The problem is that boundaries aren't preserved across encrypt/decrypt. What happens is that after the block is compressed it is encrypted. However since the encryption engine processes data in blocks there may still be bytes from the compressed block in the pipeline when the block is sent to the Storage Daemon. As a result, when the same block is decrypted it may result in only part of the compressed block. Unfortunately there is no way to tell how much decrypted data is required by the decompression engine with the current design. I think the algorithm would have to be changed to pass along the compressed data size with each compressed block.

To make matters worse, the connect call takes a different amount of time to fail depending on whether or not a switch is involved. Hi Robert, thank you very much for your help. Your explanation made the things clearer for me. Do you know , if the algorithm you described has been changed in 1.38 ? I think, I first observed this effect on 1.38, but I don't know for sure . It dosen't matter now. I will shorten the timeout value to 30 seconds . That should decrease my timeout to approx. 10 minutes. and I can live with that. Thank you once again and greetings Marc So in your case, 5 minutes is equal to 300 seconds, divided by 10 equals 30. So you will get 30 retries. Now, on the same subnet, it takes 6 minutes and 36 seconds to do 30 retries. So it takes 1 minute and 36 seconds for 30 calls to connect to fail or roughly 3 seconds per try. On different subnets, it takes 1 hour 39 minutes and 31 seconds or 189 seconds or roughly 3 minutes per try. The reason for the differences is probably caching on the switch. I suspect that in the same subnet case the arp is failing (so the IP address can't be converted to an Ethernet address), in the other case the switch is responding to the arp and a higher level (and longer timeout) is coming into play, probably the TCP connect timer. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marc Brückner Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 5:45 AM To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Cc: Knischka; Holger Luedecke Subject: [Bacula-users] Different timeouts in different subnets Hi @ all Bacula users, I am using Bacula for several year now and I am really satisfied with it.

Re: [Bacula-users] Different timeouts in different subnets
I doubt this has anything to do with DNS. DNS is used to convert a hostname into an IP address. If there was an error at that stage the error would be something like Host not found. Also there would be no retries and the FDCONNECT timeout wouldn't come into play. In addition, it is most likely going to be the same DNS for different subnets in a corporation or at the very least they'll be configured with the same timeouts. To have a routing problem you have to be at the stage of sending packets. Once you have an IP address you need to figure out which interface to send it on. So if it wasn't on the same subnet and there were no default gateway configured you could end up with a no route to host. But that wouldn't be affected by whether the host were up or not. So it must be able to figure out which interface to use. So now you need to figure out to which Ethernet MAC address the packet should be addressed. This process uses the ARP protocol (Address Resolution Protocol). For the same subnet it tries to map the hosts IP address to a MAC address. For different subnets, it tries to map the IP address of the default gateway. So I stand by my original problem analysis. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Arno Lehmann Sent: Friday, October 27, 2006 2:44 AM To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Different timeouts in different subnets Hi, just some minor correction (or assumption...): On 10/27/2006 5:54 AM, Robert Nelson wrote: ...
