[Bacula-users] Baculum configuration

Okay, after an apt purge of the lighttpd baculum packages, cleaning up after the apt purge, and a reinstall, baculum-api has responded properly on port 9096. I am not sure what directory it wants as "Baculum working directory for Bacula config:". There is no default provided. It needs to be writab

[Bacula-users] Baculum/focal upgrade

Okay, we purged and reinstalled baculum for apache2 and saw new and different errors. It is not our job to debug apache2, so we switched to lighttpd. It installed and ran, but now baculum is serving its web interface on both 9095 and 9096, and we can't seem to access the API part there. Is baculum

[Bacula-users] Upgrade to focal zorched bacula again

Hi all! We recently upgraded from Kubuntu 18.04.5 bionic LTS, to 20.04.3 focal LTS. Our bacula version is 9.6.7-1 from the community PPA. Our baculum version is 9.6.6.3 as well. The bacula-dir, bacula-fd, and bacula-sd are all running, but bconsole will not connect. Apache is choking on rewrite ru

Re: [Bacula-users] Encrypted restore fails with openssl errors

OK Bacula Pros: So I looked into the link provided about openssl and discovered that I had reversed the order in my .pem file, putting the public CERT first and the private KEY second. I noticed that another client fd had not been victim to the same error. So I regenerated the PEM for the offending

[Bacula-users] Encrypted restore fails with openssl errors

[Bacula-users] Migrating file volumes between MediaTypes

Hi Bacula Users: Thanks for the bconsole tip. It's working ok except once when it hung. I am using Bacula-9.6.7 (10 December 2020) x86_64-pc-linux-gnu ubuntu 18.04. I have a situation where I was forced to create two new MediaTypes for my volumes called "Online" and "Offline" to correspond to the

[Bacula-users] Deadweight volumes, how to discard?

Hi folks, I have a large number of abandoned volumes with no data, no associated file, and haven't been written in years. I believe they are the obstacle to automatic labeling of new volumes; my Maximum Volumes for this pool is 120. Alarmingly, I just found a "Full" volume whose mtime is April 9,

Re: [Bacula-users] Which OS is best for bacula ?

It appears that, even if we grant that Bacula can be installed under /opt/bacula, the FHS is still violated by installing configuration to /opt/bacula/etc instead of /etc/opt/bacula. This is a dangerous deviation, because firstly, /opt/bacula cannot be NFS-shared as-is, even among same-architectur

The SSL certificate is no longer valid for "bacula.org". Fix your URL to read: "https://www.bacula.org/.. ." and it should behave better. On Thu, May 20, 2021 at 3:29 PM Jose Alberto wrote: > On May 18, they renewed the SSL certificate of the page > https://www.bacula.o

Re: [Bacula-users] Certificate verification failed for Ubuntu PPAs

This is resolved. The Let's Encrypt TLS web server certificate which was issued yesterday, was issued for www.bacula.org and is invalid for bacula.org. So I manually repaired the URLs listed in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and it works fine now. On Wed, May 19, 2021 at 7:01 PM Robert Earl

[Bacula-users] Automatic labeling of volumes

I have recently changed the media types in my Devices resources and apparently, I cannot retroactively change this on existing volumes? So I am again faced with creating many new volumes as backups progress. My device is regular file storage in the /backup directory. I have followed the instructio

[Bacula-users] bscanning offline volumes and the role of the bootstrap file

Hi folks, I am working on a restore of files from 2 years ago, and it's exposed some serious flaws in my understanding of Bacula. A little about my setup: I have a File pool on an HDD partition where my online backups go. Then I have a manual procedure to migrate the volumes to BD-RE XL 100GB disc
