[Bacula-users] Restoring /etc/hosts on rhel4
Hello, I'm having a weird problem trying to restore /etc/hosts on a RHEL4 box. I'm testing Bacula 2.2.4 on this box, with a MySQL 4 backend. Everything works great so far including my first test restores. However, today I tried to do a restore of /etc/hosts. I enter file selection mode, cd /etc, mark hosts, then do an estimates and it says 2 files are marked for restoration. Ok, thats weird. When I finish the restore, no files are restored, except the etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default directory structure. Now, on the real filesystem, there is a hosts file in that directory, as well as /etc/hosts. But they are not symlinked. It seems like Bacula is getting confused about which hosts file I actually want restored. It happens if I set the restore client to the same machine, or a different one. Perhaps this is just my inexperience with the software, but can someone offer a suggestion as to what the problem might be? Maybe someone else can confirm this happens with them?

Re: [Bacula-users] Restoring /etc/hosts on rhel4
I don't have a problem doing this here. But if I am restoring 20,000 files and some of those are hard linked, which I might or might not know about, then it might be an issue. I think some type of warning would've been really nice in the restore email. Maybe?

Re: [Bacula-users] Restoring /etc/hosts on rhel4
Yes, I saw this a few minutes ago. Setting hardlinks = yes in my fileset would fix this. I'm debating what to do about this. It might be that for /etc I don't need to worry about it.

[Bacula-users] Bacula-SD hang using IBM Ultrium 3581 Library
Hello,
I'm having a peculiar problem with an IBM Ultrium 3581 autochanger and the
SD daemon. I have to restart the SD daemon after I unmount a tape, or the
next job hangs and never starts.
We currently have a single LTO2 drive in the library, and are running Bacula
2.2.5 on a Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 update 5 IBM server. I ran all the
btape tests, including the multiple tape test for autochangers, and they all
worked flawlessly. Not a single problem or error reported. I am able to
use the mtx script and mt successfully as well. Mtx reports all the proper
tapes in the library, and I can mount a tape and WEOF and REWIND it using
mt. Things look great at this point. Next, I ran "label barcodes" and it
labeled all the tapes in the library properly. Again, no problems. I
decided at this point to modify the "Full OS Set" backup for our environment
and run some tests. I can successfully run the backup the first time. It
pulls a tape from the proper pool inside the library, backup works. But if
I unmount the tape in bconsole, and try and run the same backup again, it
hangs. Nothing happens. I have waited several hours and nothing ever times
out. I finally have to cancel the job manually. I discovered that by
restarting bacula-sd that I can then re-run the job immediately without any
problems.
I'm not sure what could be causing this, or how to even troubleshoot.
Things seem to work great during all tests and doing a backup, Bacula just
doesn't like it when I unmount a tape manually.
Could someone offer some advice or debugging steps I could take to figure
this out? Below is a copy of my bacula-sd.conf file. I can post other
config files if I need to. Thanks
Jay

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula-SD hang using IBM Ultrium 3581 Library
Thanks Blake,
You are correct, it seems when I run an unmount, the drive goes into this
state
Jobs waiting to reserve a drive:
3604 JobId=25 device "Drive-0" (/dev/nst0) is BLOCKED due to user
unmount.
Device status:
Autochanger "Autochanger" with devices:
"Drive-0" (/dev/nst0)
Device "FileStorage" (/tmp) is not open.
Device "Drive-0" (/dev/nst0) is not open.
Device is BLOCKED. User unmounted.
Drive 0 status unknown.
If i restart the bacula-sd daemon, the status is now
Device status:
Autochanger "Autochanger" with devices:
"Drive-0" (/dev/nst0)
Device "FileStorage" (/tmp) is not open.
Device "Drive-0" (/dev/nst0) is not open.
Drive 0 status unknown.
So that appears to be the problem. And my next question is, "release" is
the proper way to unmount a tape from the drive? It appears to work, I'm
just trying to understand the difference. Thanks a lot

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula-SD hang using IBM Ultrium 3581 Library
I was using unmount from bconsole to unmount the tape. It was not releasing it. That is what is confusing me. But your saying it should. So its even more perplexing now. Release seems to do what I want. It unmounts the tape, and releases the drive. But the word" unmount" seems more intuitive to me than "release".

[Bacula-users] Managing tapes in a library
Hello, I've got a general question. We have a tape library, its only 23 slots. Eventually, tapes will begin to fill up during the course of backups. My question is, what is the best way in Bacula to manage ejecting tapes in the library and labeling new ones? Say at the end of the week, we have 3 tapes that are full. How can I automate ejecting these into the magazine? Do I just need to set something up in cron that checks the database for FULL media and ejects those? Then manually label them myself? It doesn't look like there is a facility in Bacula to automate that, aside from custom scripts. Just curious to know what others are doing for this type of situation. Thanks for any comments!

Re: [Bacula-users] 3573-TL tape autochanger
We haven't used this particular model, we have an IBM 3581, but have you tried running the mtx commands in section 29.9 of the manual? I found that section, as well as the "Autochanger Support" section to be quite helpful in getting mine to work. The Bacula manual is very well written.

Re: [Bacula-users] Filesize in database
Hope this proves useful to someone on the list. This short python script
will decode some of the values in the File.LStat field, or at least the ones
I needed when I wrote this. Script was written to work with MySQL, but
could easily be changed to query PostgreSQL or whatever else you want.
Would be nice to have something like this included in the tarball, I know I
will be using it a lot. Was only tested with MySQL 4.1 on a i386 RHEL4 box
with Python 2.5.1. Enjoy!

[Bacula-users] "Run After Job" character substitutions
Hello, I have a question about the character substitutions performed in the "Run After Job" option. I know the list of available substitutions contains things like job bytes (%b), jobid (%i), etc. It there an option available to get the Elapsed Time of a job? Or is there a way to add additional options so that I can get that information? I using a RunScript after a job completes to get some useful job information, and the Elapsed Time would be quite helpful.

[Bacula-users] Slow LTO Speeds
Greetings, I recently got an HP surestore 215 external Ultrium 1 drive. I set it up in Bacula and it is working great. The only problem is that I am only getting about 2mb/s on backups. Here is the setup I am using: Tape drive is connected to a LSI megaraid 320-2 raid card Tyan LE-T motherboard 2 x 1.4ghz Intel Tualatin CPUs 2.5gb of ram 2 x 36gb Ultra-320 15000rpm scsi hard drives in raid 1 CentOS 4.4 Bacula 2.0.3-1 Tape drive is hooked to a different scsi channel than the drives. I have run the btape test command and it passes without any problems. Should I try using a regular SCSI card instead of the megaraid card. I tried hooking the tape drive up to a Sun Netra T1 105 running FreeBSD 6.2 sparc64. I was getting around 8mb/s execpt the storage daemon would hang any time I tried restoring. I also hooked the drive up to my HP C3000 HP-UX workstation and ran the HP LTT diagnostics on the drive. It passed all tests and was showing 15mb/s on writes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Bacula-users] FAQ I am sure - more than one storage device
I tried to research the docs and the list - but I just can't quite get it. At my site, I have a lot more to backup than a single tape can handle. It would be nice to get bigger drives - but the more cost effective solution right now is to use several smaller tape drives. Is it possible to have the backup fill one tape drive and then continue to a second tape drive, etc.? I don't quite see how to set up this strategy. Perhaps this has been addressed in earlier post - but can't think of good keywords to search for. Thanks in advance. Jay --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.

Re: [Bacula-users] FAQ I am sure - more than one storage device
Hey Arno - thanks for responding. Try not to be totally high
maintenance here - but perhaps you can confirm I am on the right track.
Step 1
- I set up my two Device { } entries in my sd config
Device {
Name = tape1-sd
etc.
}
Device {
Name = tape2-sd
etc.
}
- and test them with btape
CHECK
Step 2
- I set up two Storage { } in my dir config
Storage {
Name = tape1
Device = tape1-sd
Media Type = DDS-4
etc.
}
Storage {
Name = tape2
Device = tape2-sd
Media Type = DDS-4
etc.
}
Step 3
- I revise my Job to reference a new Storage definition
JobDefs {
Name = "DefaultJob"
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
Storage = tape1
Messages = Standard
Pool = Default
Priority = 10
}
Job {
Name = "bighost"
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
Client = bighost-fd
FileSet = "myfileset"
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/bighost.bsr"
}
Question - will Bacula use "tape2" as well because it sees that it uses
the same media type - or is there somewhere I should be reference both
Storage or Device declarations?
Thanks in advance (again!)

You don't have to set up anything special. Bacula handles this for
you. After all, this is not amanda :-)

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Bacula-users] Using harddrive as buffer for tape backups
One thing that would be super desirable I have a bunch of clients (5 so far) that I wanna back up however If the tape fills up, all the remaining jobs block waiting for the tape to be free worst case The first client blocks - four 4 remaing jobs block until we can shove in a new tape What would happen if I set my max concurrent jobs for the director up to the # of clients I plan to backup? This seems to be generally advised against in the docs - but perhaps with data spooling is it ok? Jay p.s. Bacula totally rocks - once I got over the learning curve it is totally amazing!

Re: [Bacula-users] Using harddrive as buffer for tape backups
Actually I re-read the docs. It says that upping the max concurrent jobs in the director is good - and they will be despooled exclusively one by one to tape. Cool - I will do that tonight and see how goes.

Re: [Bacula-users] Spanning drives
With some help... you need some funny scripting for this to work, or you need to wait. This is one of the features that are on Kerns to-do-list, but not yet implemented in the development version. See Kern's mail "Re: [Bacula-devel] concurrent jobs with multiple-drive autochanger" on bacula-devel for more information. That said, look for mail from Mario Wolff, about 29 Jan this year, in the srchive. You will find a script that might do what you want. This looks cool - is this a FAQ potential item - at least until multiple drives are supported in the storage daemon? If I can get my 2nd DLT going - I'll give it a whirl.

Re: [Bacula-users] Error while trying to span tapes
I just set this up and am generally having success. I do find that label commands seem to hang mysteriously from time to time. I am still coming up to speed with having a virtual autochanger now ... Question - are you running bacula-sd as root? Jay On 1-Jul-05, at 4:36 PM, Richard White wrote: OK. After reading the comments in the multitape-changer script in greater detail, I made this change to the bacula-sd.conf: Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/multitape-changer /dev/null load 1 /dev/nst1 0" ^ ^ Mario's example says /dev/sg0, although the Changer Device _ / / in the SD is described as /dev/null. / / This is the drive on the right; the first in the multitape unit. __/ If I try to run a backup that uses the Multitape device, it will wait on Storage Multitape.
