[Bacula-users] Buffalo TeraStation
Has anyone used Bacula with Buffalo TeraStation? Is there any way to load the storage daemon onto the TeraStation, or would I have to mount the TeraStation disks onto another box and run the storage daemon from there? Thank You Sim - Take Surveys.

[Bacula-users] upgrading win32 fd from 1.37beta
To upgrade from the current beta win32 fd to the new fd win32, is it possible to stop the service and copy the bacula-fd.exe file to the c:\bacula directory and restart the service, or is there a reason it must be fully installed? I would like to write a script that remotely stops the service on all clients, puts the file in the directory, and restarts the client service. I just want to make sure that the new version doesn't add to or change the registry or any other important aspects.

[Bacula-users] switching volume problem
I am using 4 external hard drives as my pool. Every month I plan on swapping them and then recycling on the 5th month. The device for each drive is the same /dev/sda1 I only have one Device in my bacula-sd.conf file, because they are all labeled the same. The problem is when I switch devices I get an error 03-Nov 16:31 USBBackup: SimBackup.2005-11-03_16.31.13 Warning: Volume "October2" not on device "sda1" (/mnt/usbdrive). 03-Nov 16:31 USBBackup: Marking Volume "October2" in Error in Catalog. 03-Nov 16:31 USBBackup: Wrote label to prelabeled Volume "November" on device "sda1" (/mnt/usbdrive) Do I need to have 4 Devices listed in my bacula-sd?

It is possible to write Python code that will be executed when certain events occur within Bacula; a tape needs to be mounted, a backup job starts, etc. What you want to do is possible by scripting bconsole.

[Bacula-users] upgrade win client
To upgrade Windows clients (from the 1.37 beta), does the setup package need to be run or is it enough to simply switch the bacula-fd.exe to the new one? If the setup needs to be run, is there a silent install?

Re: [Bacula-users] client side backup exclude (feature request?)
I gave some of my users the possibility to include directories, I
never tried excluding but I would think it is the same thing.
My bacula-dir.conf includes:

}
File = \ Hello,

That's not possible without using special commands, like the scripts you
mention.

Bacula doesn't support this, which I think is the right decision - most
setups rely on a centrally managed backup scheme, because you simply
can't trust your users to do things right :-)
Anyway, I see a solution, also having the positive side-effect of
educationg your users.
Basically, tell your users that they can use only a limited amount of
space. Quota are a good solution to that.
If you also have users who need lots of disk space for their work, and
who don't think it needs to be backed up, tell them to use the /temp
directory.
If you or your users want to keep their data in the home directories,
even if it's temporary data only, have them create a directore
~/nobackup/ which you can exclude from your filesets.
To enforce that, you might even consider monitoring each users backup
space and announce to stop doing backups if it regularly exceeds a
reasonable size.
If all of this doesn't work, your users should really consider
rethinking their storage needs and the way they decide where to store
and what to keep ;-)
Erm, once again the short answer: Bacula can't do that, but feel free to
implement such an option :-)

[Bacula-users] file names in different languages

I have a few questions about this: 1) In PostGreSQL you cannot change the encoding of a database so I would need to destroy it and start a new one. (No problem because I am in test). Is this simply a matter of dropping the database and restarting, or are there more complications involved? 2) The filename that is listed here is in Unicode characters and not Hebrew. If the file gets backed up with that "translation" will it restore it with the Hebrew filename or the bad translation, and just as important, would it be possible to see the Hebrew filename in the list of restore files. Obviously I won't be able to restore a file if I can't read its name. 3) Are there any language settings that I should be aware of?

Re: [Bacula-users] Include & Exclude + RegexFile
I am using the following FileSet to backup only doc and sxw files on
Windows. I have tested this on 1.37.38 and also the current stable
version, whatever that might be.
>From what I understand in the documentation, when it hits a matching
option it follow the rule and if there is no matching option it
includes it, so when it sees a doc or sxw file it skips the second Options
clause. If it is not a doc or sxw then it always matches the second
Options clause. There is no "default" files to be included by not
matching.
I could not figure out how to not include just files with no extension
FileSet{
Name = "docfiles"
Include{
Options{
compression = GZIP
signature = MD5
wildfile = *.doc
wildfile = *.sxw
}
Options{
wildfile = *.*
exclude = yes
}
File = "e:/my documents"
}
}
Sim
It would indeed be very logical. But it doesn't work unfortunately.
Exclude everything with .* or *.* or ".*" or "*.*" doesn't work.
It is not permitted in the Exclude resource.
My guess is that it should be something like RegexFile = "^.?*$"
But I can't get it to work.

[Bacula-users] windows client install
I just had 2 interesting situations that I thought I would share. I installed Bacula on 9 clients, standard install, worked fine. One user wanted bacula on a different drive and it would not start at all until I reinstalled it on the c: This is mentioned in the documentation, but I missed it the first time around. The second user installed it on the c drive, but his system directory is not on the c:. His client wouldn't start as a service, but it started fine when I ran it from the command prompt, trying to get a trace. There was no trace and it started fine, so I assume the service code requires the system to be on the c: too.

[Bacula-users] client update
Is there an easy way to auto update the bacula clients (file daemons) when upgrading to a new version (both windows and linux)? I am currently using the beta version across the network, and would hate to have to go to each of 30 clients and manually update it when the stable version is released or if there is a bug fix that I want to use.

[Bacula-users] switching media
I am using 4 external hard disks to back up my data. My schedule is at the beginning of the month it does a full backup of all the computers and then every night it does incremental. Do I have to do anything with pools and volumes, or can I just plug in the new hard drive and label it? If I have autoprune = yes and retention of jobs and volumes set for 4 months, after 4 months when I get back to the 1st hard disk, if I just erase it and label anew, would that cause any problems? If I have 2 labels on the disk, and set MaximumConcurrentJobs to 2, will it write the 2 simultaneous jobs to the 2 different labels, thus solving the complexity issue?

Re: [Bacula-users] RAID or What?
I read it. I thought it was written very well, though you did spell "considered" wrong.

[Bacula-users] device recommendation
I am looking for a recommendation for a network backup device. I have 40 computers in the network (both windows and Linux), approximately 250 GB per month that needs to be backed up, but that will grow. I have tried using external hard disks, but I was not happy with them. I was using external USB cases with IDE drives and the disks kept crashing. My current strategy is to do a full backup at the beginning of the month and an incremental backup each day in the month and then recycle every 4 months. That way I always have 3 months of data backed up. I would also like the flexibility for different kinds of backup, for example I might in the future want to back the servers up to bare metal recovery on a separate media. Bacula seems to be able to handle all of my requirements, and now I am looking for the hardware. Does anybody have recommendations, what to use, what not to use etc...

Re: [Bacula-users] rerunning deleted full backup
I believe there is a when parameter for the run console command. That way you can say run last nights job at 7 PM and then go and play golf without having to wait till everyone's gone.

Yes, I know I can do that, but I thought that perhaps it wouldn't be necessary to wait for the work-day to end and then run it manually.
