Hi,
I've installed the bacula CVS snapshot as of 07.06.2005
I've tested it with a file backup and it works OK but I
can't make it to write my volumes on a DVD-RW.
Here is my configuration:
===== bacula-dir.conf =====
#Definition of the DVD file storage
Storage {
Name = DVD
Address = abulafia.savatech.ro
SDPort = 9103
Password = "..."
Device = "SONY DRU-700A"
Media Type = DVD
}
Pool {
Name = FullBackup
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 10 minutes
Accept Any Volume = yes
Maximum Volume Bytes = 2147483500 # 2 GB is the maximum size of a file
on an ISO9660 file system
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 # each backup job gets its own set of volumes
Maximum Volumes = 4
Volume Use Duration = 1d
Label Format = "DVD${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}-${NumVols}"
}
==== bacula-sd.conf ======
#
# A DVD device
#
Device {
Name = "SONY DRU-700A"
Media Type = DVD
Archive Device = /dev/cdroms/cdrom0
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
Automatic Mount = yes; # when device opened, read it
Removable Media = yes;
AlwaysOpen = no;
MaximumPartSize = 100M;
Maximum Spool Size = 200M;
RequiresMount = yes;
MountPoint = /mnt/cdrom;
# MountCommand = "/bin/mount -t iso9660 -o ro %a %m";
MountCommand = "/bin/mount %m";
UnmountCommand = "/bin/umount %m";
Spool Directory = /home/bacula/bin/working/backup;
WritePartCommand = "/home/bacula/bin/dvd-writepart %n %a %v"
FreeSpaceCommand = "/home/bacula/bin/dvd-freespace %a %n"
}
The problem is that I'm not able to label the media. If I issue the 'label'
command in the bconsole I get the following error:
3910 Unable to open device "SONY DRU-700A" (/dev/cdroms/cdrom0):
ERR=Could not mount device "SONY DRU-700A" (/dev/cdroms/cdrom0).
This is because the DVD is blank. If I insert a DVD already with iso9660
on it everything goes OK and I can see the new
volum in the Catalog. The problem comes when bacula wants to write the
volume on the DVD. Because the volume is the first one
it issues a 'growisofs -Z ...' command not a 'growisofs -M ...' and it
fails again because there is already an iso9660 fs on the DVD.
I'm starting with 3 brand new DVD-RWs and 3 brand new DVD+RWs and a SONY
DRU-700A burner.
I have to mention that I am able to write files on the DVDs using
growisofs and all mount/unmountCommands work fine from command line.
Can anybody teach me how to build a pool of DVD-RWs to backup on?
Thanks in advance,
Dan Corneanu.
