I'm trying to set up my first Copy job, and running into a problem. I
don't know whether it's a configuration issue, a documentation
shortfall, a Bacula limitation, or a combination of the three.
I have two SDs on two different machines. Altogether, four pools exist,
three disk pools on one machine, one tape pool on the other. The disk
SD is on a NAS box with a multi-terabyte SAS/SATA array, and "owns"
three disk pools on the array. The tape SD is on a separate machine,
and "owns" a single pool and an LTO1 drive. The disk array cannot be
connected to the tape SD because the tape SD's machine has no SAS
controllers. The tape drive cannot be connected to the disk SD's
machine because the disk machine has no SCSI controllers and is in an
insufficiently controlled environment for the tape drive.
Backups have been running to the disk pools without incident for about
two months, and I've verified that I can run backup jobs directly to the
tape drive.
The relevant config sections are as follows:
Storage {
Name = babylon4-sd
Address = babylon4.babcom.com
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
SDPort = 9103
Password = "XXXXXXXXXXX"
Device = FileStorage
Media Type = File
}
Storage {
Name = babylon5-sd
Address = babylon5.babcom.com
SDPort = 9103
Password = "XXXXXXXXXXX"
Device = Ultrium-LTO1
Media Type = LTO1
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
}
Pool {
Name = Full-Disk
Storage = babylon4-sd
Pool Type = Backup
Next Pool = Full-Tape
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 6 months
Maximum Volume Jobs = 0
Volume Use Duration = 23h
Label Format =
"FULL-$Year${Month:p/2/0/r}${Day:p/2/0/r}-${Hour:p/2/0/r}:${Minute:p/2/0/r}"
RecyclePool = Scratch
}
Pool {
Name = Full-Tape
Storage = babylon5-sd
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
Autoprune = yes
Volume Retention = 365d
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Recycle Current Volume = yes
Label Format = "ARCH-"
Maximum Volumes = 9
}
# Dummy client and fileset for the copy job
Client {
Name = ALL
Address = localhost
Password = NONE
Catalog = Catalog
}
Fileset {
Name = DUMMY
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
}
}
}
JobDefs {
Name = TapeArchive
Type = Copy
Pool = Full-Tape
Level = Full
Client = ALL
Fileset = DUMMY
Selection Type = PoolUncopiedJobs
Selection Pattern = "Babylon5.*" # this seems to be being ignored
SpoolData = no
Allow Duplicate Jobs = no
Schedule = "MonthlyCopy"
Messages = Daemon
Priority = 20
}
Job {
Name = "CopyToTape"
Enabled = Yes
Pool = Full-Disk
JobDefs = TapeArchive
Storage = babylon4-sd
}
When I go to run the Copy master job, I get this output:
Select Job resource (1-9): 1
Run Copy job
JobName: CopyToTape
Bootstrap: *None*
Client: ALL
FileSet: DUMMY
Pool: Full-Disk (From Job resource)
Read Storage: babylon4-sd (From Pool resource)
Write Storage: babylon5-sd (From Storage from Pool's NextPool resource)
JobId: *None*
When: 2009-06-16 16:34:24
Catalog: Catalog
Priority: 20
OK to run? (yes/mod/no):
The read and write storage appear to be correct here.
More or less the correct jobIDs get queued, except that the selection
pattern is being ignored:
Job queued. JobId=134
16-Jun 17:00 babylon4-dir JobId 134: The following 9 JobIds were chosen
to be copied: 1,4,3,2,5,6,92,93,94
The selection pattern above should theoretically have matched only jobs
92, 93 and 94, which are small test jobs.
Here's what happens when one of those queued actually tried to execute,
though:
Copying JobId 134, Job=CopyToTape.2009-06-16_17.00.57_41
16-Jun 17:01 babylon5-sd JobId 134: Failed command:

So:
Job preparation seems to say the source and destination devices and
pools are correct.
The post-job output also seems to say Bacula thinks the source and
destination devices and pools are correct.
But ... the *MESSAGES* appear to say that despite Bacula being
apparently quite clear that the copy source is the Full-Disk pool on the
FileStorage device on babylon4-sd, when it tries to actually run the
job, it is trying to access the FileStorage device (which is on
babylon4) via babylon5-sd.
Can anyone shed light on this? It looks to me as though Bacula is
basically setting everything up correctly, then contacting the wrong SD
for the source pool.
Additionally, it appears the selection pattern is being completely
ignored. If this directive is not actually valid for a copy job, the
fact is not documented anywhere that it can be readily found.
