[Bacula-users] a real mess with disk based volumes
Hi,
Im using disk based volumes. Each client has it's own pool:
Pool {
Name = black
Maximum volumes = 1
Pool Type = Backup
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Volume Retention = 60 days
Purge Oldest Volume = yes
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Label Format = "black-backup"
}
Each day i get a file "$client-backup-0001" and copy it to external media.
The problem is that each time i want to restore something, i have rename
the current $client-backup-0001 file to something else, then copy back
the older file and extract stuff with bextract. Wx-console doesn't work,
i assume some records in the database are getting deleted (the Before:
field only displays the last backup date).
The way i would like it to be: each day get a file $client-$date, copy
it to external media. When i want to restore something, i copy back the
old file, and restore data using bconsole or wx-console.
Currently i'm at v1.38.11, but i will be switching to v2.0.2 soon, so i
decided to tidy things up at once.
Any tips how to actually get to the desirable scenario (or as close as
possible?) are very welcome:)
Thanks in advance!

[Bacula-users] bacula ignoring volume retention periods?
Hello people, I have a problem with bacula 1.38.11 ignoring retention periods and reusing the same volumes over and over again. I've checked the database, volume retention periods have the correct values (the same as configs). Configuration follows: Pools: Maximum volumes = 0 #unlimited Maximum volume jobs = 1 Volume retention = 60 days Recycle = No Clients: File retention = 60 days Job retention = 1 year Help appreciated, I've ran out of ideas what is the cause of this behavior. Thanks! p.s. the idea was not to recycle any volume, even when the retention period has passed. Please correct me if I should configure bacula somehow differently to achieve that. - Take Surveys.

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula ignoring volume retention periods?
Update: i've found that VolStatus field in Media table has it's value set to 'Recycle'. That's why bacula is reusing the volumes. However, the question remains: why the hell this field is set to Recycle when recycle is disabled ?

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula ignoring volume retention periods?
Thanks for your reply Ryan. I am aware that volume settings are read when volume is created. Current volumes, however, were written after the settings were changed to their current values, so database should contain current settings, right? Here's the output of "update" command: +-+---+---+--+--+--+-+--+---+---+-+ | MediaId | VolumeName| VolStatus | VolBytes | VolFiles | VolRetention | Recycle | Slot | InChanger | MediaType | LastWritten | +-+---+---+--+--+--+-+--+---+---+-+ | 4 | 2007-03-27-Mantas | Recycle |1 |0 | 5,184,000 | 0 |0 | 0 | File | 2007-03-29 04:53:15 | +-+---+---+--+--+--+-+--+---+---+-+ Enter MediaId or Volume name: Unexpected question has been received. 4 Updating Volume "2007-03-27-Mantas" Current recycle flag is: no Enter new Recycle status: Unexpected question has been received. No New Recycle flag is: no -- I've tried setting the VolStatus to "Used", but in scheduled jobs bacula still indicates that it is going to use the the same volume. What am I doing wrong?

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula ignoring volume retention periods?
Hi Ryan, What i am trying to do is to force bacula not to reuse any previously written volume EVER. It's really weird that bacula thinks this volume has no data on it (thanks by the way, i havent noticed that myself :-) ). All volumes contain data, I can restore every one of them. > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA1 > > I have deleted the original e-mail that contained the problem. ;) Please > leave the whole e-mail text intact as it helps people who want to join > in mid-way, even if they have deleted earlier mail. > > Keep in mind that the Recycle flag here is different than Recycle > status.

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula ignoring volume retention periods?
No i haven't, but I'll try that. Also, i guess I've worked out why volume size was incorrect. Apparently, when migrating from older configs (pools were designed in different way), i accidentally left "Purge Oldest Volume = yes" in pool configuration. That is why the volumes were recycled... Thanks Ryan, Martin.

Re: [Bacula-users] Path limitation Win32 clients
Sorry, forgot to mention that this only works on NTFS v5 filesystems. But this probably shouldn't be a problem as v5 (also known as v3, dont ask me why) was shipped with windows 2k. > I would like to add, that this problem might be solved by using a > 'windows symlink' aka junction.

[Bacula-users] storing bootstrap files
Hello, I'm using bacula in a D2D2D backup scenario (disk 2 disk 2 disk), files in storage daemon are overwritten every night, but they are kept in external hard drives for a few weeks-months. Since bootstrap files are overwritten every night as well, it's probably a good idea to save them to external drives as well, right? The thing I'm wondering about is how a backup procedure would look in this scenario? Should I somehow 'show' bacula where the bootstraps are located when restoring, or put them in the original location where they were created? Would appreciate some coverage on this.

[Bacula-users] fd failing on windows 2003
Hello, I'm running bacula-fds (1.38.11) on a few W2k3 computers, on one of them the file daemon service is constantly crashing. I saw a similar problem discussed about a month ago, apparently the problem there was fd running on non Local System account. This is not my case, bacula-fd runs under that account. Most of the time it works ok, but atleast once a week I come to work, and find that backups on that machine have failed, since the fd isn't running. Event logs contains no useful information. Anyone has any idea what might be the problem? Thanks for help in advance. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Bacula-users] fd failing on windows 2003
Hi, As a matter of fact, I am using the "restart service" feature microsoft kindly provided us ( I guess they saw the problems coming :-) ). However, this doesnt seem to help much. My guess now is that the service closes with exit code 0, so windows think that everything is the way it should be. Though that does not explain why the hell there is not a single record about that in the event log, normally it logs every start/stop of any service. The only thing unusual about the server is that we use the console session remotely _a lot_, but I assume this shouldnt be causing troubles with fd?

Re: [Bacula-users] Win2k Automated Upgrade from 1.3x to 2.0
I've been looking for a way to automate the setup on xp workstations as well. After some fifteen tries to install and uninstall bacula in various ways i've decided to go the with the merest: 1. stop the service 2. replace the binary files 3. start the service again. as far as i've tested this, it works completely fine, and you do not have to play with nullsoft installers. I would like however to add some comments on the installers. Installer (as well as uninstaller) shows way to much messages which do not require any reaction form the user. For instance, why do we need that "service was successfully installed (removed)" message? I believe there should only be one saying, that service install failed, in case that happens. If (un)installer wouldn't have this irritating feature, it'd be easy to push new versios using the original installers, since the /S switch takes care of pretty much all the rest.

Thanks, Michel that explains why the message is shown regardless of the /S switch. It's sad, though, that this issue was overlooked, as it is a real bug for those, who use bacula in large windows based environments. Mantas.

Erich, thanks for help anyway. I will be upgrading to v2 soon, hopefully this will solve the problem.

Re: [Bacula-users] Linksys is killing socket between director and SD
As someone suggested, you might try using different firmware. There are a lot of options for these linksyses. DD-WRT is definitely one of them but I personally prefer "tomato".

[Bacula-users] Winows fd random shutdowns debunked
Hello, I've just submited a bug report regarding this issue, but until it remains unsolved, i'll share my experience in case anyone else runs in to the same problem: For a long period of time i had a strange issue with windows (xp pro, server 2003) fds randomly shutting down. At last, today I figured out why. Issue occurs at these scenarios: * User A logs in. Then user B connects to the machine using remote desktop. A dialog pops up asking if B wants to remotelly log off A. If accepted, A gets logged off and fd service shuts down. * User A logs in, locks the computer (ctrl+alt+del > lock computer). Then user B unlocks it with his account (B has to have administrative privileges for this to work). The same dialog pops up, if you choose to force log off of user A, the fd gets shut down. I guess the problem is, that the file daemon service and the gui program that resides in the systray are actually the same process. When the systray program gets closed down, the fd service goes down as well. I hope this helps...

Yes, i did try the new bacula, and yes, it did fix the problem. I must say quite like it without the systray monitor as well:) Thanks, John.

Re: [Bacula-users] [Bacula-devel-fr] One more beta
I had a rather strange experience with the 2.1.27 windows fd version. (.27 is not out yet, but Kern has included a link in response to my bug report regarding some win fd issues) On one of my machines it ignored the file list, and made a backup of the whole C: drive instead of a few dirs. Switching to 1.38.10 fixed it.

Re: [Bacula-users] [OFF-TOPIC] Bacula Web-based
Hi, there are two web based tools that allow you to _get info_ about the backups from the database. bacula web: http://www.bacula.org/bacula-web/bacula-web.html and webacula: https://sourceforge.net/projects/webacula The first one is written in php, i know that since im using it. Not sure about the second one, though. If you want to develop a tool that allows to actually control stuff like bconsole does, you would probably like to post to bacula-devel mailing list instead.

Re: [Bacula-users] no label for a volume
Does the file gets created ? What is its size?
I'd make sure that:
* There is enough free space on the disk
* Bacula sd can write to that directory
