[Bacula-users] Question about ClientRunBeforeJob

[Jon Schewe]

I have a long running job that I want to run before backups. It backs up
the databases on the client. I've added the ClientRunBeforeJob line and
noticed that I was getting errors like this:

29-Jun 09:11 jon-dir JobId 4073: Start Backup JobId 4073, 
Job=mtu.2009-06-29_09.11.03
29-Jun 09:11 jon-dir JobId 4073: Using Device "FileStorage"
29-Jun 09:11 mtu-fd JobId 4073: ClientRunBeforeJob: run command 
"/etc/bacula/before-full-backup.sh"
29-Jun 11:11 jon-dir JobId 4073: Fatal error: Socket error on 
ClientRunBeforeJob command: ERR=Connection reset by peer
29-Jun 11:11 jon-dir JobId 4073: Fatal error: Client "mtu-fd" RunScript failed.
29-Jun 11:11 jon-dir JobId 4073: Error: Bacula jon-dir 2.4.2 (26Jul08): 
29-Jun-2009 11:11:37


I changed my heartbeat interval for the client in bacula-dir.conf to 15
seconds and on the client in it's bacula-fd.conf to 5 seconds. After
restarting all services, I'm still getting the connection reset error.
Between my bacula server and the client is a Linksys router running
DDWRT. The client is a Linux server using iptables for the firewall.

When googling for this error the standard advice is to change the
heartbeat interval, however that doesn't seem to be working. Are there
any other suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks.

The first thing I notice is that you're doing incremental backups every
other day. I'd really encourage you to do them everyday if you can,
otherwise on that odd day you're going to be really unhappy when a disk
crashes and you've lots 2 days worth of data rather than just 1.

As far as spreading out the full and differential backups, the only
downside that I can see is that it'll increase your restore time as
you'll need to go back to a differential and a full to do a restore and
a lot can change in there.

One question to think about is how far back do you need to be able to
restore? I'm finding that a lot of places only need to go back 60 to 90
days. If that's the case, then you set your recycle time much lower on
your full backups and you only keep 1 or 2 full backups.

Does this also take care of removing the old backup files? Or do you do

Re: [Bacula-users] Alternating two usb disks

[Jon Schewe]

If I use the setup below, will bacula automatically delete the old
volumes when the retention period is up? I realize it'll reuse them if
recycle is set to yes, but unsure if it'll delete old volumes.

It's done it two days in a row with the same filename specified. Any

I just checked 1 and the account has permissions. I've got 1.4GB
available in /tmp. I would expect this to be enough space. What
information is all put in this table?

On a related note, I wouldn't mind helping out with maintenance as well,
just not sure how much time I have either. My particular itch that I'd
like scratched would be separate RPMs for all of the database formats
that bacula supports so that I don't need MySQL running if SQLite will
do or if I already have PostgreSQL running for something else.

[Bacula-users] Question about recycle = no

[Jon Schewe]

So I'm backing data up to an external drive. I have maximum volume jobs
set to 1, to ensure that each job uses a different volume. I would also
like it such that volumes are not reused, so I assume I should set
recycle to no. Now the question is, when the retention period comes up,
will the volumes that are past the retention period be deleted? If they
are not, I'll run out of space on my external drive.

[Bacula-users] Question about restores and multiple pools

[Jon Schewe]

I have standard backups (incremental, differential, full) going to tape
using a pool named Default. I have weekly full backups going to an
external drive using a pool named Offsite. Now when I do a restore I
would like bacula to only consider the backups in the Default pool and
to ignore those in the Offsite pool. Is this possible?

Related question: When bacula is considering which is the most recent
full backup to compute differences for a differential backup will it
consider all job definitions and thus consider my Offsite pool? Or will
it just consider just the currently running Job definition and thus use
only the Default pool (tapes)?

Then my guess is that it'll work just fine. I've used generic barcode
creators in the past and they've been OK too, just wondering if there
was something special in there with sizing or something like that.

That's too bad. Can it be specified by job? Since I have different jobs

I have separate job definitions, so I should OK here.

Turns out it was really easy, I wrote one last night. It's below. You
just want to change the find part of the script to find the appropriate
volumes, then run this as a before or after job script. You will want to
check this by working with a test pool, as I did, just to be sure it's
right.

#!/bin/bash

for file in `find /mnt/mybook/bacula -name 'Test-*'`; do
  volume=`basename ${file}`
  echo "*** Deleting Vol ${volume} from bacula catalog"

That's what I intend to do as well by changing the find to be this:

find /mnt/mybook/bacula -mtime +65

This finds all files that haven't been modified in 65 days or more. If
the retention period is set to 60 days, this would be a pretty safe way
to do it.

Found your script in the archives. I see you're checking for recycle =
1, so you have recycle set to yes in the conf file? Could you send me
the Pool definition that you use this with?

I don't suppose anyone has written this such that it works with bacula
directly so you don't need to know the database to make it work.

Thanks.

Thanks for the example and the script. I really like it. I made some
changes to the script to implement the test parameter and also don't
purge from the catalog unless the file actually exists. This handles the
case where I'm swapping USB drives out every week.

[Bacula-users] bad response from stored to open command

[Jon Schewe]

The before backup script is empty at this point, so that's not taking any time.
What would cause such an error? This was working until I needed to reload the 
firmware on my router.
mtu-fd is on the internet, jon-dir is behind my router. I've got port 9103 
forwarded from my router
to the computer jon. I've got an entry in /etc/hosts on mtu that has the IP of 
the router associated
with the name jon. Running tcpdump on jon I see traffic in both directions on 
port 9103. Any ideas?

Yes, I'm behind a firewall running dd-wrt. Do I just need to increase
the connection timeout? Why doesn't the heartbeat take care of this?

I got it to work again last night. Changing the firewall time outs
didn't help. What fixed it was turning off Accurate backups.

So I should only need the heartbeat on that client's setup as well,
right? Getting rid of extra heart beats would be nice.

It seems to be running, but I've run into a problem with bconsole. Once
I started the job, if I run bconsole and then "status dir", the console
hangs. If I strace the bconsole process it's stuck in a select call.

Must be what it is then. I've been thinking about switching to postgres,
but haven't because the opensuse packages for bacula are only for mysql.
This may motivate me more.

The backup finished, so it seems that in version 3.0.3 bacula does NOT
set the socket option SO_KEEPALIVE.

Hmm, this sounds like a bug that should be fixed and once it is fixed
may remove a bunch of problems with firewalls.

[Bacula-users] Errors restoring to an encrypted client from a non-encrypted client

[Jon Schewe]

I have most of my clients setup with encryption. One is not setup with
encryption. The one without encryption died and I need to restore the
data. So I'm restoring to one of the clients configured with encryption.
I'm getting a bunch of messages about cryptogrphic signature missing.
However the files appear to be restoring. Is this just a warning? Is
this an error? Do I need to turn off encryption on the client to do the
restore?

 Hello everyone,

 We recently attempted a mysql to postgresql migration for our bacula
 5.0.2 server.  The data migration itself was successful, however we are
 disappointly either getting the same or significantly worse performance
 out of the postgres db.

 I was hoping that someone might have some insight into this.

 Here is some background:

 software:
  centos 5.5 (64bit)
  bacula 5.0.2 (64bit)
  postgresql 8.1.21 (64bit)
  (previously... mysql-5.0.77 (64bit) MyISAM)

 database:
  select count(*) from File -->   1,439,626,558
  du -sk /var/lib/pgsql/data -->   346,236,136 /var/lib/pgsql/data

 hardware:
  1Tb EXT3 external fibre-RAID storage
  8Gb RAM
  2Gb SWAP
  2 dual-core [AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2220] CPUs


 Some of the postgres tuning that I've attempted thus far (comments are
 either default or alternatively settings I've tried without effect):

 #shared_buffers = 1000# min 16 or max_connections*2, 8KB each
 shared_buffers = 262144 # 2Gb
 #work_mem = 1024# min 64, size in KB
 work_mem = 524288   # 512Mb
 #maintenance_work_mem = 16384   # min 1024, size in KB
 maintenance_work_mem = 2097152  # 2Gb
 #checkpoint_segments = 3  # in logfile segments, min 1, 16MB each
 checkpoint_segments = 16
 #checkpoint_warning = 30# in seconds, 0 is off
 checkpoint_warning = 16
 #effective_cache_size = 1000# typically 8KB each
 #effective_cache_size = 262144  # 256Mb
 effective_cache_size = 6291456  # 6Gb
 #random_page_cost = 4 # units are one sequential page fetch cost
 random_page_cost = 2

 Now, as to what I'm 'seeing'.  Building restore trees are on par with my
 previous mysql db, but what I'm seeing as significantly worse are:

mysql   postgresql
 Within Bat:
 1) Version Browser (large sample job)   3min 9min
 2) Restore Tree (average sample job)   40sec25sec
 3) Restore Tree (large sample job) 10min   8.5min
 2) Jobs Run (1000 Records) 10sec 2min

 Within psql/mysql:
 1) select count(*) from File;   1sec30min

 Catalog dump:
 1) mysqldump/pgdump 2hrs 3hrs


 I get a win on building Restore trees, but everywhere else, it's
 painfully slow.  It makes the bat utility virtually unusable as an
 interface.  Why the win (albeit moderate) in some cases but terrible
 responses in others?

 I admit that I am not familiar with postgres at all, but I tried to walk
 through some of the postgres tuning documents, including the notes in
 the bacula manual to arrive at the above settings.  Also note that I've
 tried several variants on the configuration above (including the
 postgres defaults), don't have a detailed play by play of the results,
 but the time results above seemed typical regardless of what settings I
 tweaked.

 Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Bacula-users] converting from MySQL to Postgresql

[Jon Schewe]

I've seen quite a bit of discussion on this on the list. It seems
possible, so I figured I'd try. I'm using a combination of
http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/catalog/catalog/Installi_Configur_PostgreS.html#1107
and
http://www.mail-archive.com/bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg40993.html

I did
mysqldump -t -n -c --compatible=postgresql --skip-quote-names --skip-opt
--disable-keys --lock-tables -u bacula -ppass bacula

cat bacula-backup.dmp | sed -e 's/-00-00 00:00:00/1970-01-01
00:00:00/g' > fixed-bacula-backup.sql
psql -h localhost -U bacula bacula fixed-bacula-backup.sql

Then tried to import fixed-bacula-backup.sql into the postgresql tables
created by the bacula setup scripts. Things went along pretty well until
I ran into this:

Note that the bconsole.conf file and the bat.conf file should be
identical, except for comments. So if bconsole works, you may just want
to symlink to bat.conf.

[Bacula-users] duplicate key in log table?

[Jon Schewe]

So I've got bacula running with postgres and I checked my logs from last

[Bacula-users] Jobs running twice?

[Jon Schewe]

So I've got a job that takes over 48 hours to complete (I'm working on
fixing this), but in the meantime I have a second job scheduled to
happen daily writing to a different pool. 2 odd things happened:
1) The second job couldn't run at the same time as a long job. This
might be because bacula can't spool 2 jobs at once, or I've got to
change something for this.
2) So while the long job was running the daily job was paused until the
long job finished (as I explained in 1), the really annoying thing was
that a second daily job was put in the schedule queue even though there
was one already scheduled and waiting, so when the long job finished,
each of my clients was backed up twice again inside of 6 hours, rather
than the second daily job just being dropped (which I would have
expected). Is there a way to change this behavior?

There are update scripts that come with the new packages for upgrading
your database. I recently upgraded from 3.0.3-mysql to 5.0.0-postgresql.

I looked into the duplicate jobs options and according to the
documentation the default is to not allow duplicate jobs. So why am I
seeing duplicate jobs queued? In this case I have a copy to tape job:
Job {
Name = "CopyToTape"
Type = Copy
#Schedule = "WeeklyCycleAfterBackup"
Priority = 40 # after catalog
Pool = Disk-Pool
    Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
Selection Type = PoolUncopiedJobs
Messages = Standard

Level = Full # ignored
Client = mn-server-fd # ignored
FileSet="Standard Full Set" # ignored
}

If one of the copy jobs takes over 24 hours because of something like a
stuck autoloader then the same jobs are queued up again. Why are these
jobs queued up twice?

If one of the copy jobs takes over 24 hours because of something like a
stuck autoloader then the same jobs are queued up again. Why are these
jobs queued up twice? Is it because the jobs are spawned by the copy job and 
the spawning doesn't take into account jobs that are in queue? Could the copy 
job somehow detect that previously spawned jobs are still in the queue? Or is 
the documentation not accurate and the default is to allow duplicate jobs?

[Bacula-users] Copy job question

[Jon Schewe]

 I want to setup bacula so that when a job finishes (one that writes to
disk) it then spawns a job that copies itself to tape. I know about
PoolUncopiedJobs and I don't want to do that, as it can cause the same
job to be queued multiple times and will pull all of my old backup jobs,
which I really don't want.

[Bacula-users] Problems with multiple drives in changer

[Jon Schewe]

 So I've got 2 drives in my tape library. Up until now I've only had
bacula using the first drive. Right now that drive is giving me some
trouble, so I want to tell bacula to switch to the second drive, but
bacula won't do that. When I try to mount a volume with the tape library
I get the following output from bacula-sd (with debug=100):
mn-server-sd: stored.c:552-0 Could not open device "Drive-1" (/dev/nst1)
mn-server-sd: dircmd.c:599-0 Try changer device Drive-0
mn-server-sd: dircmd.c:611-0 Device DLT-changer not autoselect skipped.
mn-server-sd: dircmd.c:599-0 Try changer device Drive-1
mn-server-sd: dircmd.c:620-0 Device DLT-changer drive wrong: want=0
got=1 skipping

Here's my device sections, note that Autoselect is set to "no" on Drive-0.
Autochanger {
  Name = DLT-changer
  Device = Drive-0
  Device = Drive-1
  Changer Command = "/usr/lib/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
  Changer Device = /dev/tape_lib_changer0
}

Device {
  Name = Drive-0  #
  Drive Index = 0
  Media Type = DLT-7000
  Archive Device = /dev/nst0
  AutomaticMount = yes   # when device opened, read it
  AlwaysOpen = yes
  RemovableMedia = yes
  RandomAccess = no
  AutoChanger = yes
  Autoselect = no
  # Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
  #Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
}
Device {
  Name = Drive-1  #
  Drive Index = 1
  Media Type = DLT-7000
  Archive Device = /dev/nst1
  AutomaticMount = yes   # when device opened, read it
  AlwaysOpen = yes
  RemovableMedia = yes
  RandomAccess = no
  AutoChanger = yes
  # Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
  #Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
}

I saw someone with a similar problem awhile back on the list, but they
never got an answer.

If you're considering a network option like this, I would strongly
recommend using the rsync over a remote SD. I found that bacula doesn't
retry on network errors, so if you have a long backup running offsite
and then your ISP drops for a minute you loose, where as you can pretty
easily have rsync do a retry and pickup where it left off.

[Bacula-users] Purge all previous incrementals and differentals when full is purged

[Jon Schewe]

 When a full backup is purged, does bacula automatically purge the
differentials and incrementals based on that full? What do I need to do
to ensure this happens? Is it just a matter of setting the retention
periods? Can this be done with a single pool that holds all fulls,

Re: [Bacula-users] Copy job question

This is my solution for now.
I've got a JobDefs for my copy job:
JobDefs {
  Name = "CopyJob"
  Type = Copy
  Priority = 40 # after catalog
  Pool = Full-Pool # ignored when using SQLQuery
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
  Selection Type = SQLQuery
  Messages = Standard
 
  Level = Full # ignored
  Client = mn-server-fd # ignored
  FileSet="Standard Full Set" # ignored
}

Then each of my regular backup jobs have this RunScript section:
  RunScript {
RunsOnClient = no
RunsWhen = After
FailJobOnError = yes
Command  = "/etc/bacula/start-job mn-server-copy"
  }

Where the body of that script is:
#!/bin/sh

# run the copy job specified as $1

if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
  echo "You must specify the name of the job to start"
  exit 1
fi

echo "run $1 yes" | /usr/sbin/bconsole
exit $?

And the corresponding copy job for each backup job is this:
Job {
  Name = "mn-server-copy"
  JobDefs = "CopyJob"
  Selection Pattern = "SELECT MAX(jobid) FROM Job WHERE Name = 'mn-server'"
  Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/working/mn-server-copy.bsr"
}

That's correct. I've run into this and my solution has been to have each
job to be copied to explicitly queue the copy job for it by selecting
the last ID with the same job name. This ensures that you don't end up
with 2 copy jobs for the same original job.

How are the two jobs different then? Don't you have one for each host?
Here's an example from my config. The start-job script just starts the
specified job using bconsole.
Job {
  Name = "ottertail"
  Client = ottertail-fd
  JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
  FileSet = "Standard NetBSD Set"
  Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/working/ottertail.bsr"
  RunScript {
RunsOnClient = no
RunsWhen = After
FailJobOnError = yes
Command  = "/etc/bacula/start-job ottertail-copy"
  }
}
Job {
  Name = "ottertail-copy"
  JobDefs = "CopyJob"
  Selection Pattern = "SELECT MAX(jobid) FROM Job WHERE Name = 'ottertail'"
  Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/working/ottertail-copy.bsr"
}

[Bacula-users] Every other week schedule

[Jon Schewe]

I found a nice solution for an every other week schedule on this list
that uses a script before the job to check if it's the correct week or
not and exits with an appropriate status. This does what I want, except
it generates an error email on the off weeks. Anyone have a solution for
an every other week schedule that doesn't generate error emails on the
off weeks, but still lets me get error emails when there is a real error?

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula and Dell Powervault 124T

[Jon Schewe]

You might also find the following udev rules useful. Put the following in
/etc/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-storage-tape.rules (path may be different
for different distros, this is for opensuse).

# this file must have the same name as the file in /lib/udev/rules.d that
sets up the tape permissions, otherwise this file won't override the
defaults

SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_generic", ATTRS{vendor}=="DELL", ATTRS{model}=="PV-124T",
SYMLINK+="library_pv-124t", GROUP="disk"
KERNEL=="nst[0-9]*", SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_tape", ATTRS{vendor}=="QUANTUM",
ATTRS{model}=="ULTRIUM 5", SYMLINK+="drive0_pv-124t", GROUP="disk"

This creates symlinks for the right devices and sets the group permissions
to disk, which is what the RPMs in the dassit repository for openeuse want
given who the daemons run as. Note that this is only with 1 drive in our
library, you may need to modify for a second drive.

You need to make sure that the address attribute in the client section
matches the CN of the client's certificate. You also need to make sure
that the name of the director machine matches the CN of it's cert on
the client. Then I have the following. On Director:
Director {                            # define myself
  Name = jon-dir
  DIRport = 9101                # where we listen for UA connections
  ...
  # TLS Security
  TLS Enable = yes
  TLS Require = yes
  TLS Verify Peer = yes
  TLS Allowed CN = "jon" # important if doing NAT Or DNS doesn't
return what you want
  TLS CA Certificate File = /etc/ssl/certs/personal-ca.pem
  TLS Certificate = /etc/bacula/jon-bacula-2011.pem
  TLS Key = /etc/bacula/jon-bacula-2011.key
}
Client {
  Name = jen-fd
  Address = jen
  FDPort = 9102
  ...
  # TLS Security
  TLS Enable = yes
  TLS Require = yes
  TLS CA Certificate File = /etc/ssl/certs/personal-ca.pem
  TLS Certificate = /etc/bacula/jon-bacula-2011.pem
  TLS Key = /etc/bacula/jon-bacula-2011.key
}
On client:
Director {
  Name = jon-dir
  ...
  # TLS Security
  TLS Enable = yes
  TLS Require = yes
  TLS Verify Peer = yes
  # Allow only the Director to connect
  TLS Allowed CN = "jon" # important if doing NAT Or DNS doesn't
return what you want
  TLS CA Certificate File = /etc/bacula/personal-ca.pem
  TLS Certificate = /etc/bacula/jen-bacula-2011.pem
  TLS Key = /etc/bacula/jen-bacula-2011.key
}
FileDaemon {                          # this is me
  Name = jen-fd
  FDport = 9102                  # where we listen for the director
  ...
  # TLS Security
  TLS Enable = yes
  TLS Require = yes
  TLS CA Certificate File = /etc/bacula/personal-ca.pem
  TLS Certificate = /etc/bacula/jen-bacula-2011.pem
  TLS Key = /etc/bacula/jen-bacula-2011.key
}
These are my notes on creating certificates.
Create CA: # only needed once
/usr/share/ssl/misc/CA.pl -newca
Copy cacert.pem to /etc/apache2/ssl.crt and put it somewhere on the web for
others to reference.
Create cert:
/usr/share/ssl/misc/CA.pl -newreq
answer questions
/usr/share/ssl/misc/CA.pl -sign
Enter CA passphrase
Answer questions
Cert is now signed.
Now to setup for Apache, need to take the passphrase off.
openssl rsa < newkey.pem > eggplant.key
Enter passphrase used with -newreq
mv newcert.pem eggplant.pem
Now you have a cert for your host, the cert is in eggplant.crt the key is in
eggplant.key. The key has no password so you can start your service
without entering a password.

If you're going through a NAT for backups, then it's more work. I've
got that going too, but there are a few things that need to be
modified as well.

[Bacula-users] Problem with bacula 5.2 and postgresql

[Jon Schewe]

My config worked fine with bacula 5.1. I just upgraded to 5.2.3 with
OpenSUSE 12.1. I can connect to my postgres database with the username and
password specified in bacula-dir.conf. However when I try and start
bacula-dir all I get is:

bacula-dir: dird.c:951 Could not open Catalog "MyCatalog", database
"bacula".

There is nothing in the postgres log files. There is no more information
logged. What changed in 5.2 from 5.1 that breaks the authentication?

From

is where I was told to get the updates for 11.4 as well. Where is
there stable version then? I don't need to have the latest version of
bacula, just a stable one for openSUSE.

Isn't the point of factory that you experiment with the packages and then
put them into a stable repository at some point? If there is no such stable
repository, then we all end up using factory.

Right, I was using that one and reported some bugs against it and was told
by the maintainer to use the version in factory.

[Bacula-users] Client with multiple addresses

[Jon Schewe]

I have a laptop that I want to backup that may be wired or wireless. Is it
possible to tell bacula to try to connected to the wired address first and
if that fails then try the wireless address?  I haven't seen any options
for specifying a list of addresses in the Address field of the Client
resource on the Director.

[Bacula-users] Bad interaction between cancel duplicates and rerun failed jobs

[Jon Schewe]

So I've got a full backup job that takes more than a day to complete. To
keep a second full backup from getting started while the first one is still
completing I've set the following in the Job definitions:
  Allow Duplicate Jobs = no
  Cancel Queued Duplicates = yes

However to handle network connection issues or clients being missing when
their scheduled backup times comes around I have this setting in the Job
definitions as well:
  Rerun Failed Levels = yes

It seems that the duplicate job handling marks the level as failed, so that
when the first backup finishes, the next backup that wants to run should be
an incremental, but gets upgraded to a full because of the duplicate jobs
that were canceled.

Anyone know a way around this?
