They aren't checked correctly for all defined Variables which are defined. I'm running Centos4 and without modifying the spec you'll never build a package as the 'if no os defined exit' check simply doesnt take care of centos4 ... I've already successfully build bacula-2.0.0 for Centos4 using the plague build system, but the System isn't gratious on flexible commandline params, i've defined the Centos4 default params which then means i need 3 different source RPMs to get postgresql/mysql/sqlite Versions, but thats okay ... you can grab the SRPMs and Arch Packages for Centos4 from http://rpms.jackal-net.at/yum/repodata/ (it will take a time until mysql and sqlite will be there as i'm using postgresql it was build first) additional the bacula-web package(spec) seems to be messedup too ...

[Bacula-users] Bacula-2.0 big problem with the client FileSets
Hi,
i've switched from bacula 1.38.11 to bacula 2.0 on Centos4.
the config stayed, but the expected backups didnt work.
non of the defined backups do recursion, it simply sees the
File = .. as directory and saves only this entry as file
<<<
FD Files Written: 1
SD Files Written: 1
FD Bytes Written: 0 (0 B)
SD Bytes Written: 77 (77 B)
>>>
Fileset definition
FileSet {
Name= "FileSet-Mail"
Ignore FileSet Changes = no
Include {
File= /var/spool/imap
File= /var/lib/imap
Options {
compression = gzip
signature = sha1
verify = Level=DiskToCatalog pins1
onefs = yes
recurse = yes
sparse = no
readfifo= no
aclsupport = no
recurse = yes
}
}
}
on the 1.38.11 client (reproduceable) the command produces
* status client

whats the problem ?? is there a need to change the configs ?

[Bacula-users] Problems with 'Automatic Volume Labeling'
Hi everyone,
i have a question regarding 'Automatic Volume Labeling', a short
explanation of what i'm trying to do ...
i'm responsible for a small company, the backup is done to external
disks. There are different Pools writing
the Backup to specific disks labeling them with a syntax like:
Label Format=
"Pool-Weekly-${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}-${NumVols:+1:p/4/0/r}"
which if no use able media exists is labeled on the device like
'Pool-Weekly-2007-10-23-0001'. So far so good,
but this only happens once, means the 'Maximum Volume Bytes' is set to
204800 (2GB) to ensure, it doesn't
matter where the external Disk is attached, the files are readable.
If a Backup Job requires more than one Media, the first get's labeled
and for every new Media required during the
Backup Job, Bacula asks the Operator to label a new Media.
My only solution for this right now is to estimate how much space the
Backup will use, and label the Volumes
before the Job runs, but as you can imagine thats annoying ...
is there anything i'm missing that this happens ?
thanks for any hint ...
kind regards
Michael Lang
the necessary configurations are :
Pool{
Name= "Pool-Weekly"
Pool Type = Backup
Maximum Volume Bytes= 204800
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention= 365 days
Recycle = yes
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Purge Oldest Volume = no
Label Format=
"Pool-Weekly-${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}-${NumVols:+1:p/4/0/r}"
Storage = "Storage-Weekly"
}
Device {
Name = Storage-Weekly
Media Type= File
Archive Device= /media/backup02
LabelMedia= yes;
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount= yes;
RemovableMedia= no;
AlwaysOpen= no;
}

[Bacula-users] Webbased Report / Logviewer for bacula
Hi, due some requirements in my company, i need a web based (no OS limitation, no Application limitation) for viewing the processed Bacula Jobs status and Logs. Since i need authentication for sending Mail, i already replace bsmtp with a Script written in python. I found bacula-web right useful except, i'm not sure if it's still under development and will be maintained in the future, so i took a look in django (python web framework) and it wasn't to hard to get a simple Online Report. No changing the bsmtp script to not only mail but in addition add the contents to the Database for online reviewing in one place (no switching between Browser/MUA) wouldn't be a big challenge i started to do some more with django. A first look alike can be seen at http://193.154.151.162/bacula/ , but please notice that viewing the File List can take a longer time or even time out, depending on your time out settings. Please feel free to let me know what you think about and what could be improved/implemented, as i consider licensing it under the GPL. Currently the dependencies are as follows (running on RHEL4/CentOS4): - access to the Catalog Database - python2.3 - python- (postgresql, mysql, sqlite3) # depending on your Catalog Database - django Web Framework kind regards Michael Lang - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Bacula-users] Bacula Plugins and ACL support
Hi, when adding a "command" plugin to a fileset with aclsupport enabled the backup job will fail with for example following error message: 2-Apr 15:25 server01-fd JobId 1: Error: acl.c:427 acl_get_file error on file "/@LDAP@/dc=jackal-net,dc=at": ERR=No such file or directory 22-Apr 15:25 server01-sd JobId 1: Fatal error: fd_cmds.c:181 FD command not found: 12549 19 0 the plugin used is "bpipe" plugin getting a LDAP database ... is there a way to handle both (plugins and aclsupport) within one Fileset definition ? kind regards Michael Lang -- Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.

[Bacula-users] copy jobs between different storage resources
Hi, i didn't find any restriction about copying Jobs (Type "C") between two storage resources located on different SD's. I tried but the job always get canceled telling the the SD is not aware of the resource (original pool storage) i already found that the copy jobs cant be on the same SD within the same storage resource, but nothing when the resources are not located on the same SD, or am i doing something wrong ? any hints welcome ... regards Michael Lang -- Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensign option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
