Re: [Bacula-users] volume recycling
Auto reply :)
It appears I had orphaned jobs, jobmedia, file,filename and pathes
in my catalog.
I used dbcheck to get rid of all of them. The volume got pruned
and recycled properly afterwards.

Hello,
I am using bacula 5.0.2 as delivered by Debian packaging system.
This morning I have jobs hanged due to no appendable volume in

the job and file retention for the jobs are both of 1 month. The

All volumes in the pool are marked as Used. However, there id
one volume that was last written more than 2 month ago
(2011-06-19 15:30:31).

I have tried pruning the volume by hand
using the `prune` command, it shows the correct volume volume
retention but prune nothing.
Here is the volume and pool description as
shown by `list volume` and `show pool`:

Does anybody knows why I can't recycle that volume and why I

I am not sure why you had these ridiculous file and job retentions however
neither of them will stop a volume from being recycled. These two are more
about how long to keep the records in the database.

Yep John, you're absolutely right. Purging orphaned records was the
solution.
Unfortunately I still have those weird retention periods associated with
pools and jobs, whereas I have normal values associated with Client
(which is the value used I hope!):
show clients
Client: name=jimbojones-fd address=jimbojones.fqdn FDport=9102 MaxJobs=1
JobRetention=1 month FileRetention=1 month AutoPrune=1
-- Catalog: name=MyCatalog address= DBport=0 db_name=bacula
db_driver=*None* db_user=bacula MutliDBConn=0
I'm curious to know where those value come from or how are they
calculated... If someone knows, please shed the light.
Am I the only one having such values reported by `show pool` or `show jobs`?

Hello
There are several storages defined in the bacula-dir.conf :
Storage {
Name = File1
Address = hostname # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
Password = ***
Device = FileStorage1
Media Type = File1
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
}
Storage {
Name = File2
Address = hostname # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
Password =
Device = FileStorage2
Media Type = File2
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
}
and so on...
Every job uses it's own storage, for example job1 - FileStorage1
(Name=File1), job2 - File storage2 (name=File2) and so on...
The question: Can job1 recycle Volume with MediType != file1 or this job
always recycles volumes with mediatype according Storage directive?
It will only recycle File1 media type.

Re: [Bacula-users] Volume recycling/pruning
Hello, On 5/11/2007 11:37 AM, luket wrote: Good morning I am currently running bacula on a CentOS machine with no problems. I am waiting to install a tape drive (problem sourcing the connector to the server) I am having a problem with clearing out data over a certain length of time. I have had a look through FAQ's and also through this forum and although people have been having similar problems I have been unable to find a proper solution. I basically have all my backups running to files (each job has a seperate pool) these are currently running into massive sizes. This sounds as though you did not limit the volume growth using any of the possible ways - use time, size, number of jobs. What I want to do is utilize the pruning/recycling function in Bacula. I am a little unsure as to what the various config tags do within the bacula-dir.conf. I think these are all explained in sufficient detail in the manual. If you encounter problems understanding how they work together I'm sure we can answer more targeted questions. I currently have the following in the Client resource: File Retention = 10 days Job Retention = 1 month AutoPrune = yes In the pool resources I have the following in there: Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 15 days Accept Any volume = yes The point here is to note that the retention only starts after a volume was last written. You've got to ensure your backups proceed to another volume, and Bacula marks the terminated volumes as 'Used' or 'Full'. I want my backups to run full backups on a Friday and incremental every other day, I want a full weekly backup to tape and each month clear/prune/recycle what is on the server so the volumes are back down to zero. That would need to be done manually (or by script), as there is no way to tell bacula to 1) purge all jobs based upon a job that is being purged, an 2) Bacula does not delete or truncate files when they are purged, it merely notices that they can be overwritten. For files, an actual truncate only happens when a volume is being recycled. Does anybody have any advice on a smiple way to do this? or failing that, a difficult way to do it as my attempts have all turned out as failures!!! Start limiting the volume size, and see if that doesn't already get you close to where you want to go. I suppose it will.

Kern Well, I don't see anything running between messages, and I'm unsure
what you Kern mean. If you are trying to tie sequences of messages to
their display order Kern when they come from different daemons via the
network and different threads Kern and do not have thousandths of seconds
in the time stamp, good luck.
Yes, it was the display order. In particular, I thought that the Pruned 5
Jobs and Recycled volume Director messages were both emited inside the
Find_media request from the SD. During this time, the SD should be waiting
so I was surprised that the SD's Cannot find any appendable volumes.
message came before the Recycled volume message.
Someone else posted this sequence:
04-Aug 01:02 hunter-dir: Pruned 8 Jobs on Volume D03 from catalog.
04-Aug 01:02 hunter-dir: Pruned 1 Job on Volume D04 from catalog.
04-Aug 01:02 hunter-sd: Job std-arapaho.2005-08-04_01.00.00 waiting.
Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Please use the label command to create a new Volume for:
Storage: HP_DAT72
Media type: DDS-72
Pool: Daily
04-Aug 01:03 hunter-dir: Recycled volume D03
which shows it too.
I'm not sure what is going on here, except that one cannot count on the order
of the messages being chronological. I haven't thought a lot about this, but
I can imagine that if one is running on the hairy edge of not having enough
volumes (or conversely having your pruning times too long), I'm not surprised
there are problems. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a bug lurking in the
code, but I can say that I have been running the setup described in one of
the chapters of the manual for well over a year, and it prunes volumes
regularly as it should, so there is always one or two pruned volumes when
they are needed without relying on pruning during the search for a Volume.
__Martin
Kern,
Just for information : pruning a volume, like D04, take about 1 (big)
minute to be done. (Bacula 1.36.2 sarge + sqlite)
Rico,
I saw that an Admin job run Autoprune so I think that I can use an Admin
job as a workaround like this :
# other jobs use the same schedule an have a priority on 10
# I have no concurrent job
Job {
Name = force_pruning
JobDefs = DefaultJob
Type = Admin
Client = hunter-fd
FileSet= default
Schedule = ServerMonthlyCycle
Priority = 9
}
I will try it for this WE.
Have a nice day :o)

I'm not sure what is going on here, except that one cannot count on the order of the messages being chronological. I haven't thought a lot about this, but I can imagine that if one is running on the hairy edge of not having enough volumes (or conversely having your pruning times too long), I'm not surprised there are problems. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a bug lurking in the code, but I can say that I have been running the setup described in one of the chapters of the manual for well over a year, and it prunes volumes regularly as it should, so there is always one or two pruned volumes when they are needed without relying on pruning during the search for a Volume. __Martin -- Best regards, Kern ( /\ V_V --- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects Teams * Testing QA Security * Process Improvement Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

it failed again. the admin job was ok. the volume was pruned and

If you can clearly explain the problem and you are sure it is a bug, yet, open a bug report. in the meantime i must prune the current volume manual every day till the bug is fixed. If you are manually pruning Volumes to run, then you have very likely misconfigured something. There is a whole chapter in the manual devoted to having Bacula run unattended on a Disk based backup. It has been running for well over a year without any intervention on my part. This would not be possible without automatic pruning. That said, I note that there seems to be a bug in 1.37.x where the catalog size is growing despite pruning. This may also be a MySQL 4.12 bug. -- Best regards, Kern ( /\ V_V --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Rico 1. job start Rico 2. purge volume and set status to recycle.(job must wait till purging is Rico ready) Rico 3. use the currently purged volume for backup It would be useful to post the output of list media in the console and also your pool definition for Default. __Martin --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Re: [Bacula-users] Volume recycling
Hi MattB!
In the Bacula on-line manual
http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Automatic_Volume_Recycling.html
you can find the recycling algorithm, that Bacula uses. I quote the
relevant part here too:
The full recycling algorithm that Bacula uses when it needs a new
Volume is:
* Search the Pool for a Volume with VolStatus=Append (if there is
more than one, the Volume with the oldest date last written is chosen.
If two have the same date then the one with the lowest MediaId is
chosen).
* Search the Pool for a Volume with VolStatus=Recycle (if
there is more than one, the Volume with the oldest date last written is
chosen. If two have the same date then the one with the lowest MediaId
is chosen).
* Prune volumes applying Volume retention period (Volumes
with VolStatus Full, Used, or Append are pruned).
* Search the Pool for a Volume with VolStatus=Purged
* Attempt to create a new Volume if automatic labeling enabled
* Prune the oldest Volume if RecycleOldestVolume=yes (the Volume
with the oldest LastWritten date and VolStatus equal to Full, Recycle,
Purged, Used, or Append is chosen). This record ensures that all
retention periods are properly respected.
* Purge the oldest Volume if PurgeOldestVolume=yes (the Volume with
the oldest LastWritten date and VolStatus equal to Full, Recycle,
Purged, Used, or Append is chosen). We strongly recommend against the
use of PurgeOldestVolume as it can quite easily lead to loss of current
backup data.
* Give up and ask operator.
I suggest you, that go through these steps, and try to find out, why
your configuration does not choose one (the right one for your needs)
from these steps.
It may be important for you too the following paragraph:
The Volume Retention period takes precedence over any Job Retention
period you have specified in the Client resource. It should also be
noted, that the Volume Retention period is obtained by reading the
Catalog Database Media record rather than the Pool resource record. This
means that if you change the VolumeRetention in the Pool resource
record, you must ensure that the corresponding change is made in the
catalog by using the update pool command. Doing so will insure that any
new Volumes will be created with the changed Volume Retention period.
Any existing Volumes will have their own copy of the Volume Retention
period that can only be changed on a Volume by Volume basis using the
update volume command.
Hope, this helps you resolving your problem.

I'm having a tough time trying to get Bacula to recycle volumes
properly. I'm trying to backup a Windows server with a full backup on
Sunday and incrementals Monday to Saturday. Backup is to a removable
USB disk and I want the filenames to be automatically created in the
format ProductionVol001, ProductionVol002 etc through to
ProductionVol007, after which it will go back to 001 again.
My relevant config entries are:
Pool {
Name = Production
Use Volume Once = yes
Pool Type = Backup
LabelFormat = ProductionVol
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 7 days
Maximum Volumes = 7
Recycle = yes
}
Client {
Name = production-fd
Address = production
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = password # password for FileDaemon
File Retention = 30 days# 30 days
Job Retention = 6 months# six months
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}
Job {
Name = ProductionFiles
JobDefs = DefaultJob
Client = production-fd
Write Bootstrap = /var/bacula/ProductionFiles.bsr
FileSet = ProductionFiles
Pool = Production
}
The problem is that every time the schedule runs I'm getting the
all-too-familiar error (below). All other backup jobs then stop
completely.
25-May 08:43 backup-sd: Job ProductionFiles.2005-05-25_08.43.07
waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Please use the label command to create a new Volume for:
Storage: FileStorage
Media type: File
Pool: Production
If I use label (which in my reckoning I should never need to do as
Bacula should automatically create the label for me) then it works for
that time, but next time it'll halt again with the same error.
Can anyone throw me any pointers?
Thanks,
MattB
