In addition to Arno's suggestions, you can try also a simple 'list volumes' command. It should list in which slot each volume is (or was last time).

[Bacula-users] Which side to start an upgrade?
Hello, when upgrading a bacula backup environment with many clients from which side is wiser to start? Clients or director/sd ? In other words which of these two situations is less likely to be troublesome: - old client talking with new director/sd - new client talking with old director/sd I'm thinking of an environment where at least some of the machines have bacula installed with e.g. Linux distro packages, so 'installing in an alternate directory' is not an easy option to follow, and the upgrade cycle is not applicable all-at-once on all the machines involved, otherwise some important backups would be skipped.

Hello, I have installed bweb from debian package (2.0.3-1); for the installation, I followed the notes in the INSTALL file and filled the config form shown at first run of bweb.pl. Now it mostly looks ok, however I have a few questions/notes: 1) I think I read somewhere that I should issue an InitCatalog command (but obviously now I cannot find that text anymore). Should I ? How? Reason is that in the Information report all fields have a value, except 'Database size', which is ???. Is that the reason? 2) I'm bit by bit updating my clients from 1.38.x. I see that 2.0.x clients show also their version number in bweb clients page, but the version number doesn't seem to appear immediately at first poll after client has been updated. Why? 3) Autochange & Location settings: I have Location field in my bacula DB but it's currently empty. How do I use it/fill it properly? 4) Tiny bug report: All file sizes are indicated as Mb/Gb/Tb instead of MB/GB/TB (they are megabytes, not megabits, I think) -- Maxx - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Folks;
not sure whether this is worth a question around, but I think of my

down things as far as having /etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer
successfully (un)loading tapes while being called from a shell.
However, while running btape, it seems that nothing happens:
backer:/etc/bacula# btape -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0

nothing loaded.

When checking the loader status using mtx after starting btape this
way, I see the drive is empty. Is there anything else I
am still missing right now?
Environment:
- bacula 1.38.11, Debian unstable, pretty plain configuration by now
- Tandberg LTO-2 autoloader, 1 drive, no barcode reader
- drive-configuration in bacula-sd.conf:
Device {
Name = LTO-2 #
Media Type = LTO-2
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = Yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = Yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %s %a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/sg3
AutoChanger = Yes
# # Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
}
My configuration has separate entries for the tape and the autoloader:
Autochanger {
Name = 1x8_Autoloader
Device = Ultrium-448
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"

## Changer Device = /dev/sg0
AutoChanger = yes
# # Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
## Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
# Spooling specs
Spool Directory = /spooling/spool1

Just try to connect as bacula and perform some query, to check that password is ok, etc. - use 'snoop' command on the Solaris, or even better ethereal/wireshark if you have it installed, in order to sniff the DB traffic between the two servers.

Hi,
below here are some fragments taken from my bacula-sd.conf and bacula-dir.conf,
hopefully enough to help you get the HP Autoloader going.
In the bacula-sd.conf I define the autoloader as:
Autochanger {
Name = 1x8_Autoloader
Device = Ultrium-448
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/sg1
}
Note: if you have other SCSI devices, your changer can be detected at
a different
place than /dev/sg1. Check it by running 'tapeinfo -f /dev/sg1'.
Then the Device written in the Autochanger configuration is defined
few lines below as:
Device {
Name = Ultrium-448
Media Type = LTO-2
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
## Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
## Changer Device = /dev/sg0
AutoChanger = yes
## Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
## Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
}
Then in the bacula-dir.conf the tape unit is referenced uniquely as:
Storage {
Name = Autoloader
Address = scribe02
SDPort = 9103
Password = ""
Device = 1x8_Autoloader
Media Type = LTO-2
Autochanger = yes
}
An example of job defined on my director that uses the autoloader tape
is the following:
Job {
Name = "DaisyUsers"
Type = Backup
Client = daisy-fd
FileSet = "Users"
Schedule = "DaisyUsersCycle"
Storage = Autoloader
Messages = Standard
Pool = LTO2alt
}
Depending on your Linux distro + bacula installation you may need to
retouch some device or file permission and/or ownership to have
everything working.
Regards

[Bacula-users] BartPE for WinNT/Win2K
Hello, I'm already using bacula to keep backup of some Unix servers. Now I was thinking about extending its usage to create bare metal recovery procedures for some Windows workstations. I read on the bacula documentation about the solution with BartPE kit, and I understood that I'd need a Win 2003/XP to create the .iso file. However what is not clear to me is whether is possible to use it (together with bacula) to backup & restore old Win NT/2K. Did anybody try that?

[Bacula-users] Anticipate next volume request
Hello, in my Bacula system I take differential or full backups on Monday morning (and they go on one pool) and incrementals from Tuesday to Friday (and they go on a different pool). Tape is a manually operated DLT7000. Now, I would like that when last incremental job on Friday has finished, Bacula would send a separate mail to the operator to inform which tape will be used on Monday. It's end of the day, so the director's list is empty. Is it possible to get that with a regular Bacula job, or should I create a custom script that looks into MySQL database?

[Bacula-users] Mark volume used after a job
Hello, I apologize if it's a stupid question, I didn't yet experience much with Bacula syntax. My wish is that after Bacula terminates a full backup, the volume currently mounted would be marked as used, so that next weekly full would start from a different tape. I thought that perhaps I could use a RunAfterJob="/path/to/markused.sh" where markused.sh is: #!/bin/sh /etc/bacula/bconsole -c /etc/bacula/bacula.conf
Re: [Bacula-users] Mark volume used after a job
Thank you for all the suggestions. The "Volume Use Duration" sounds really nice, since it gives also the flexibility to store several full backups scheduled for the same day to go into the same volume (which not everybody may want, but it fits my needs :) Cheers -- Maxx --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Bacula-users] Upgrade MySQL 3.23 -> 5.0
Hello, I'd like to upgrade MySQL in use for Bacula from 3.23 to 5.0 (or at least 4.1). I'm running Bacula 1.36 on RHEL3, and I've found a post by Scott Barniger dated just one year ago that it's possible to install the shared-compat rpm in order to avoid recompilation of Bacula. What would be a safe procedure to do the upgrade? 1) stop Bacula 2) backup mysql with e.g. mysqldump tool 3) install mysql, mysql-server and mysql-shared-compat rpms 4) reload the database 5) run the mysql_fix_priviledge_tables [for MySQL 5.0] 6) type "/etc/bacula/bacula start" with crossed fingers :-) Another question is: MySQL recommends to do the upgrade step by step, i.e. 3.23 -> 4.0 -> 4.1 -> 5.0. Is that necessary and if it should be done, does every step involve dumping and reloading again the database? Thanks -- Maxx --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Hello, I have a problem with bacula-web, on RHEL 3, with mysql: I get only "DB error: no such database". Results from test.php are all OK. I saw a couple of messages on the list regarding this, but the only suggestion was to install pear (which in my case is already installed).

My configuration is like this: bacula is 1.38.9 mysql is 4.1.19 php is 4.3.2 httpd 2.0.46 My only guess would be that php 4.3.2 is too old (in the doc it says that tested versions are 4.3.4 and 5.0.4), but I'm not expert in php so I cannot confirm this. RHEL 3 doesn't provide any more recent version of php, and at least for now I'd like to avoid to recompile it from source.

In order to have a consistent archive, before to run the backup I create a snapshot (HP-UX filesystems) of the partition to be backupped and I actually make the backup of the snapshot. When backup is complete, I undo the snapshot. Now, after first tests, the full backup is about 30 GB. The incrementals, taken 4 hours later, with nobody using the system is nearly 2 GB. How come? What is the strategy that bacula uses to detect differences? Thanks for any help explaining the behaviour -- Maxx ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

[Bacula-users] btape fill test and autochanger
Hello,
sorry if this turns being a stupid question but...
I'm testing my new autochanger (HP autoloader 1x8, with Ultrium-448).
When I run the 'fill' btape test, in multiple tape mode,
should the program change the tape by itself, is it expected behaviour
that I manually change tape?
Here is the relevant part of my bacula-sd.conf (almost the default one)
Bacula version is 1.38.9, running on Debian Linux
Autochanger {
Name = 1x8_Autoloader
Device = Ultrium-448
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/sg1
}
Device {
Name = Ultrium-448 #
Media Type = Ultrium-2
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
}
<<<
Thanks

I have recently received an HP LTO2 (Ultrium-448) with 1x8 Autoloader, and everything seems to be working just ok, including the autochanger. My server is a HP DL380 G3 (with a SCSI HBA type LSI22320-R, taken from an unused Sun server...), system is running Linux Debian (etch). So far the only hitch I found was the SCSI driver, which required a patch to avoid a forced timeout after 30 sec that was bad for autochanger operations. Apart of that, I have to say I'm happy with the Ultrium tape unit, almost worried that its setup went so smoothly :-) Cheers -- Maxx - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Bacula-users] Bacula-dir on multiple LANs
Hello, I'm planning to configure my backup environment so that most of the server-fd's can access the storage daemon via regular Intranet, but a couple of them, with higher backup requirements, would use instead a private (gigabit?) backup-LAN that is connected to the server-sd&dir via a second NIC. Ideally I would not make that backup-LAN routed anywhere. I'm not sure how the configuration files should look like: I understand that the server-sd should be defined twice, for each of the two networks, but what about the director? -- Maxx - Take Surveys.

[Bacula-users] vchanger on a NAS
Hello, I would like to run Bacula on my Synology NAS to take backups on external SATA disks, using an additional USB dock. I see that there is a vchanger tool available to manage the operation of replacing disk volumes, but the requirements of the tool are not easy to meet with what the NAS offers. As I read from the vchanger howto document, two components are required: - udev with a /dev/disk/by-uuid structure - autofs daemon The NAS in question doesn't have udev, it doesn't keep a by-uuid structure for the disks, and it doesn't have autofs daemon. But, it runs hotplug, and as soon as a new disk is inserted, it is recognized as /dev/sdq and automatically mounted as /volumeUSB1/usbshare (always). Also, using an additional tool (blkid) it is possible to query the uuid of the filesystems present. Do you think it would be possible to make vchanger work with what's available? If so, can you please suggest what to put in its configuration file?
