[Bacula-users] bacula 13.0.4 community repo missing bacula-cloud-storage package?

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

[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

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

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

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] 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] Does anybody have a working Linux ISO that will allow me to restore from an offsite Bacula backup?

Good morning, Myles. I have a few thoughts that might contribute to recovering from this situation. 1. Sounds like the element.io installer hosed up your nginx web server files (which bacularis relies upon). Please note that because bacularis isn't integral to the function of bacula itself, the b

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula client vs server version

I don't know if that would work since I haven't used the old 9.6x bacula binaries. I do see that the client is only a tiny bit newer than the server. Personally, I suspect that if the server checks versions, it will refuse to work. Maybe try to see if a slightly older version of the client is avail

Re: [Bacula-users] binaries for Ubuntu 24.04

For 13.0.4 and 15.0.2 I do see that there are packages from Debian 12 bookworm. I do not see packages for Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Number), though I do see packages for Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish. You can browse the repositories using your own custom repository URL to see what packages are available

Re: [Bacula-users] Problems with Mount tapes

When I have seen this before it is becuase bacula has old information about the tape location. Like if the tape was added to the changer or moved to a different slot using the tape changer web interface or front panel, but bacula's knowledge of tape inventory was not refreshed. In those cases i hav

In my experience running bacula 13.0.x with postgres, catalog restoration has been generally fairly easy. I am not a database expert at all. >From memory, on my phone, while on vacation, so double check stuff yourself: Take a new catalog backup unless you are absolutely certain that your most rec

What about filesystem performance on your volume or db host(s)? Failing drives get slower sometimes. Robert Gerber 402-237-8692 r...@craeon.net On Wed, Aug 7, 2024, 3:21 PM Rob Gerber wrote: > That's an option, but if you wanted to confirm that db performance after > your catalo

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula suddenly running very slow

That's an option, but if you wanted to confirm that db performance after your catalog filled up wasn't a factor you could run a backup first. Maybe isolate / protect your current volumes first? Not sure how to go about that. Maybe check permission mask for future restoration and 'chmod 000 Your-vol

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula 15.0.2 and Baculum 11.0

Enrico, I don't know if baculum 11 is compatible with bacula 15.0.2. I suspect not. There is a newer version of baculum. It is available from the community repository, same as the other bacula project binaries. You could also look into bacularis, which is a friendly fork of baculum by one of the
