Dear Patti, thanks for the swift reply!!
I cannot su - bacula as root, I get 'This account is currently not available.'
here is the /etc/passwd entry for the bacula user
bacula:x:102:121:added by portage for bacula:/var/lib/bacula:/sbin/nologin
and yes, bacula is a member of the disk group.
I set the permissions to 777 in desparation!
Here is the Full Backup Pool
Pool {
Name = Full-Pool-xensync
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 6 months
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Label Format = "Full-xensync-"
Maximum Volumes = 9
}
Thanks again
Francis

Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Permissions problem backing up to NFS Share
Can you su or sudo to the bacula user and see if you can manually
create/modify/delete files on your backup storage location?
- My file storage is owned by bacula:root and permissions are 770 – I would not
have it set to be so wide open.
Is bacula user a member of your disk group?
If the answers to the above are yes, then what is your file pool configuration?

Subject: [Bacula-users] Permissions problem backing up to NFS Share
Dear All, I am new to Bacula, and most impressed so far. I have version 7.4.3
on a Gentoo server.
I have been trying to get my localhost to backup using the Automated Disk
Backup config from the user manual as a template.
I am backing up to an NFS Share folder with permissions as below:
drwxrwxrwx 3 bacula bacula 4096 Nov 3 16:15 bacula-backups
The NFS is mounted on /home/backuppc/ToBackup/
when I run the full backup I get this error:
03-Nov 10:02 xensync-sd JobId 10: Job xensync.2016-11-03_10.02.05_05 is
waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:
Storage: "Storage-xensync" (/home/backuppc/ToBackup/bacula-backups/xensync)
Pool: Full-Pool-xensync
Media type: File
I am bit surprised, because I would expect bacula to create the volumes
automatically. Here is the relevent bit from my sd.conf file
Device {
Name = Storage-xensync
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /home/backuppc/ToBackup/bacula-backups/xensync
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}
When I try and label a volume from the console I get this:
3910 Unable to open device ""Storage-xensync"
(/home/backuppc/ToBackup/bacula-backups/xensync)": ERR=file_dev.c:185 Could not
open(/home/backuppc/ToBackup/bacula-backups/xensync/xensync,CREATE_READ_WRITE,0640):
ERR=Permission denied
As you can see the permissions are OK, and I have bacula user and group with
same uid and gid on the NFS server to avoid any problems with permissions. Or
so I thought.
Any ideas on how to fix this would be very much appreciated?
Regards
Francis
