Hi , First let me explain what I am trying to do. I backup about 4 servers on a daily basis with full backups once a month , differentials weekly and incrementals daily. What I am trying to accomplish now , is using "bcopy" to copy the daily incr volumes to an offsite disk (this is all file based).
When I use bcopy to copy one volume to another on my offsite disk all goes well except for : bcopy /arch/win32/daniefull-0002 /offsite1/win32/daniefull-0002 bcopy: butil.c:258 Using device: "/arch/win32" for reading. 06-Apr 15:06 bcopy: Ready to read from volume "daniefull-0002" on device /arch/win32. bcopy: butil.c:258 Using device: "/offsite1/win32" for writing. 06-Apr 15:06 bcopy: bcopy Error: Requested Volume "daniefull-0002" on /offsite1/win32 is not a Bacula labeled Volume, because: ERR=block.c:793 Read zero bytes at 0:0 on device /offsite1/win32. 06-Apr 15:06 bcopy: Volume "daniefull-0003" previously written, moving to end of data. bcopy: bcopy.c:218 Volume label not copied. 06-Apr 15:06 bcopy: End of Volume at file 1 on device /arch/win32, Volume "daniefull-0002" 06-Apr 15:06 bcopy: End of all volumes. bcopy: bcopy.c:245 EOT label not copied. bcopy: bcopy.c:183 1 Jobs copied. 1299 records copied. Now when I try and do a bextract command I get : bextract /arch/win32/daniefull-0002 /tmp/ bextract: butil.c:258 Using device: "/arch/win32" for reading. 06-Apr 15:13 bextract: Ready to read from volume "daniefull-0002" on device /arch/win32. 06-Apr 15:13 bextract: bextract Error: Win32 GZIP data stream not supported on this Client. 06-Apr 15:13 bextract: End of Volume at file 1 on device /arch/win32, Volume "daniefull-0002" 06-Apr 15:13 bextract: End of all volumes. 0 files restored. This "End of Volume at file 1 on device /arch/win32, Volume "daniefull-0002" line is what throws me , it seems like it reads the first file and then exists? (newbie q again) OK , I then tried to actually write the info from the bcopied offsite volume to the catalog : bscan -s -m -c bacula-sd.conf -v -V daniefull-0002 /offsite1/win32 bscan: butil.c:258 Using device: "/offsite1/win32" for reading. 06-Apr 15:17 bscan: bscan Warning: Could not unserialize Volume label: ERR=label.c:205 Expecting Volume Label, got FI=SOS_LABEL Stream=39 len=144 Mount Volume "daniefull-0002" on device /offsite1/win32 and press return when ready: ...and this is where I decided to ask the experts , as I am not really sure what to do with all this info. If someone can maybe share and existing offsite strategy that would be great cause it seems this one is only giving me grey hairs. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated as I am at a loss here..... D -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
