bls of volumes should output text describing files added, files deleted, etc. Grep of this output should give only files deleted. bls takes some time to run, so maybe dump output to a text file, then grep it. I think 'bls - j volumename' should give a more condensed output only saying what jobids

Re: [Bacula-users] 15.0.2 backward compatibility

I read the release notes for version 13.0.4, and 15.x. Based on that, I believe that a 15.0.2 dir and SD should be able to collaborate with a 13.0.4 FD. There was a bug present on 13.x (but fixed in 13.0.4) that harmed FD backwards compatibility for bacula versions >=13.x, but <13.0.4. So in theory

Re: [Bacula-users] HP 1/8 G2 Autoloader

Well, I think something is wrong here. I WOULD NOT write any data or an EOF to any production tapes with valuable data. This will almost certainly lead to data loss. To be perfectly clear, if you rewind a tape and write EOF to that tape, the data previously written to that tape will be inaccessible

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacularis vs Baculum

I believe that bacula beta version 15.x has changes to baculum in the release notes. So no, baculum isn't dead, per se. Being found in the bacula community repositories, baculum seems be the official bacula community web interface. Bacularis is a friendly fork from a baculum developer, Marcin. (Ma

Re: [Bacula-users] HP 1/8 G2 Autoloader

Stefan, are your bacula catalog backups being made to a disk volume, as is default, or to a tape volume? If being made to a disk volume you could restore a catalog backup. If your catalog backups were being made to that same machine whose backups were purged, and you lost the database entries for t

[Bacula-users] Bacula community repo SHA1 pubkey

Hello, The bacula community repo currently signs their packages with a SHA1 key. SHA1 is deprecated in EL9 onwards, and poses a security risk that only increases over time. Do the community package maintainers have any plans to update the package signing process to use a SHA256 or greater SHA cip

Hello, I have been running bacula 13.0.3 on rocky linux 9.3, and am considering upgrading to bacula 13.0.4. However, for EL9 I see that the bacula community repo for bacula 13.0.4 does not appear to include the bacula-cloud-storage package, though bacula 13.0.3 does include that package. The relea

Re: [Bacula-users] Install Bacula-Community from repository?

Personally, I allowed the use of sha1 to sign packages. This was the only way to use the bacula community packages from the repository. The packages are signed with SHA1. Can't determine authenticity without SHA1. Once the Bacula community project issues a SHA512 key or something similar and signs

Mehrdad, I don't know if I can help with all of your questions but I have some information for you. I back up samba shares for a machine that I cannot get shell access onto. The only way for me to access the files on this Nas is via smb. For this case, on the bacula server, I have mounted the rel

Re: [Bacula-users] Wildfile

I don't think it is correct, no. I am not an expert, but last time I tried something like this I believe the suggestion I was given was to use a runbefore script to run a find command or similar to locate and build a file list, then give that list to bacula as input for the job. Perhaps for your

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacularis in a container

I know what your problem is. You need a Bacularis API instance. Bacularis web connects to a Bacularis API instance, which connects to the bacula director. Right now you only have a Bacularis web instance. If your bacula instance is entirely bare metal, not in a container, then you probably don't w

What happens when you click 'update slots' on the volumes page, and tell it to update slots 1-24? Idk if this is relevant, but perhaps it is.

Re: [Bacula-users] baculum + bacula 13.0.4 slow web interface

Unkdef, one important thing to know is that Bacularis is a friendly fork of baculum. It's very similar, and Marcin has been actively maintaining it. Marcin is also a baculum developer. Basically, Bacularis is the better, more optimized tool. This doesn't mean that the source of your problem is ce

[Bacula-users] Bacularis API host initial setup with postgresql and bacula.

I have previously set up bacula and bacularis on Rocky Linux 9. At the time I ran into issues giving bacularis access to bacula's postgresql database. I didn't know the bacula database password. At that time I set the postgresql pg_hba.conf file to use "trust". However I am concerned that this isn'

Bacula should work with LTO 9 just fine. I would be very surprised if it had issues with LTO 9. Some users on the mailing list have mentioned that they use LTO 9. Robert Gerber 402-237-8692 r...@craeon.net On Tue, Apr 2, 2024, 4:53 PM Jose Alberto wrote: > Hi. > > I work with Bacula (11 and 1
