Re: [Bacula-users] fatal error on full backup.

We ran into this issue when we replaced all our iptables firewalls with Juniper SSG devices. Check the timeout values for the service you defined on your juniper for your bacula ports, the juniper will have a default session time, we found the juniper closes the connection often, and ended up h

Re: [Bacula-users] Fwd: newbie - problem labeling / adding tapes to pool

Hey Simon, So, it sounds like these tapes are from a previous bacula installation? If there is no data on the tapes that you need, you can effectively erase them by writing an eof mark at the start of the tape(I believe you mentioned doing this earlier, possibly the four problem tapes were mis

Re: [Bacula-users] newbie - problem labeling / adding tapes to pool

Hey Simon, The output from your status command is not returning the label information for the slots. Do you have another application that you can use to see if the autoloader is reading the barcode labels correctly? The following is what I get if there are no tapes in some slots (extra inform

Re: [Bacula-users] Help with auto purging/pruning

Hey Steve, I had something similar happen to me here, bacula will respect your retention policies, and your volume limit. So if you have 200 files and you have configured a limit of 205, when the next job starts, it will recycle anything it can, use any volume that is purged, then start creati

Kind of branching off here but felt I should toss in my 2 cents re: Throttling clients We have a similar problem where some remote clients have low bandwidth pipes and we can't consume all available bandwidth. Our environment is mostly linux so and we achieve throttling using baculas client ru

Re: [Bacula-users] DELL TL2000

I think you have two options... Probably the simplest and most straight forward would be to create a copy job for each pool, then a simple SQL select query for that pool to grab the latest full backup. This seems to be consistent with the rest of your configuration and probably the recommended

Re: [Bacula-users] DELL TL2000

I'm not certain if the TL2000 supports barcodes, or if you are using them, if so, you should be able to use the following : Label barcodes storage=TL2000-LTO-1 To view the tapes in the library : status slots storage=TL2000-LTO-1 -Original Message- From: Gandalf Corvotempesta [mailt

Re: [Bacula-users] DELL TL2000

Hey Gandalf, The client should be the file daemon that has your tape drive attached I would think, that is what mine is defined as. I have not seen the message waiting for volume, I would think bacula should have emailed a message to the operator for intervention tho, possibly it will contain

Re: [Bacula-users] DELL TL2000

Hi Gandalf, while I do not have exactly the same requirements, possibly the information below will be helpful. You do not mention it but I am assuming you are doing backups to disk. You also do not mention using the tape device for any other backups so I will assume you do not(If you do, there

[Bacula-users] Copy Job troubles

Hey All, I am attempting to configure a copy job to create an set of backup tapes I can ship offsite but everytime a job starts, the base offsite job sits waiting for the Tape resource, and the child copy job sites waiting for the File resource... it seems like they are deadlocking each other b

[Bacula-users] BAT restore bug?

Hey All, I have come across an unusual problem with our bacula install. I have a backup from a linux client and a windows client, bacula SD is on a linux server. Backups all run fine, complete with no errors. For both windows and linux clients I am able to run bat, select bRestore, choose a s

Re: [Bacula-users] Mysterious Director authentication failures

Hey Phil, I have seen similar issues here, very intermittently. The authentication failure is always for the bat console in my case. I had chalked it up to network latency as I also consistently get a seg fault from the bat console when running it over a remote X session to anywhere outside t

Re: [Bacula-users] Update volume parameters on multiple volumes

Most likley you would need to run a SQL query on the DB to do the update enmasse, using sqlquery at bconsole, or directly in the DB. Something like the following : UPDATE media SET recycle=1 WHERE PoolId = ( SELECT PoolId from Pool WHERE Name=''); Replace with the pool na
