Hi Folks,
I have to retrieve files from a very old backup. The bacula daemon has not
run for months on the backup server, and the files to retrieve are also
months old.
If I would start up the bacula director it would immediately start pruning
the old file entries from the database and marking the tapes overwritable.
But I have to get these files first.
My first bet would be to enter the database and manipulate the retention
date of files, volumes, pools, etc. before starting bacula director. Is
this the correct approach to the problem? And if yes, what date(s) exactly
do I have to manipulate (I did not find out from the docs which dates are
calculated by bacula director at runtime and which are fixed database
entries)?
Of course I could stroll throught the database tables and see what I find
instead of asking here but I am afraid to manipulate the wrong things and
loose data.
Any hint or help is appreciated.
Dirk

I would start off with a database dump to a text file so if anything
goes wrong you can get the catalog back. Then change the retention
(file and job) times in the bacula .conf file and see if this works.
If not you have a backup of the database to recover..

If they are not there I would search for create_bacula_database in

I get >80 MB/s with bacula. First you should test the network
performance between bacula-fd and bacula-sd with some other tool
(netperf, netpipe, netio...).
Are you spooling data? Is this a full or incremental backup?

Many of us get 30MB/s plus on a gigabit network. Its all a matter of
determining what the limiting factor is and optimizing that.

Hi,
I have some things witch could be possible bugs.
First:
Configured are one virual autochanger of type file and one physical autochanger of type tape. There is one pool for every changer.
I use bweb, so i can see some informations at a glance, for example the in-changer flag.
Sometimes i get an error when changing the volume in the virtual autochanger.
At this time, the in-changer-flag from one physical medium (tape) ist unset.
After a while, many medias have an unset in-changer flag.
Here is the error message from the job, but i don't belive this is the
originaly reason:

As you can see, loading the required volume is no problem. I think, the error
message is NOT the problem of this behavior. I believe i have seen this
in-changer-flag setting sometimes when a media is changed. The bug is, that the
flag is set to the wrong media. It is set to an physical media from the
physical changer, which is an other pool. But the physical Volume has the same
slot-Number!
Second:
Migration jobs migrate jobs twice. In our environment every three hours a migration job is beeing
triggert. After that three hours it is possible, that not all migration jobs are finished, so some
jobs have not the status "M" for migrated jobs. A new migration job is starting and those
not completed jobs will be queued again. Thats ok, because at this momenten the flag "M"
for migration is not beeing set to the job, as i wrote. Now the jobs from the first migration-job
will be executed and the status will be set. When the second migration job for the same jobid is on
the line, it is beeing migrated again, although the job-status for migration is set!
Better would be to look at the beginning of a job which job-status is set.
If you thing these tings are bugs i would report it with as many informations
as i can provide.
Mit freundlichem Grüßen
Sebastian Lehmann

given the previous answers (people trying to confirm the matter in

i get around 50MB/s without software compression. With compression it
goes down to 12 (compression=gzip1).
maybe check you disk speeds (something like tar real files to /dev/null
and calculate speeds) and check bandwith with iperf (or similiar).
for me also "spool attributes = yes" was a perfomance gain.

I'm currently at around 80 TB of disk being backed up. This will jump
to around 108 TB by the end of the year.
My configuration:
Were using a storageTek L700e tape library 600 slots with 3 SDLT
tape drives, SCSI attached to a Sun Sparc system running Solaris 10.
Hopefully this will be upgraded to a new server with four fiber
attached LTO-4 drives. We are currently running backup 2.2.3, with
plans to upgrade to the newer version soon.
Due to the length of the full backups I don't use the internal
scheduler for dispatching jobs. I have a standalone shell script
that i use. It checks to see if a job is already running or
scheduled and won't reschedule the job. This keeps me from having to
do allot of job deletes by hand.
My disk partitions are set to 1 to 1.5 TB in size and takes about 36
hours to do a full. Incrementals run allot smaller from 10G to 50G
in size. A large portion of this data is geophysical which has a
small possibility of compression, so I do compression at the tape drive.
Overall everything works great, I have very few problems. My
largest headache are tapes that were labeled bu then when used don't
seem to work, i.e. the label gets written but when bacula tries to use
the tape, it can no longer read the tape label. So it gets stuck
trying to mount the tape.
The other issue i just ran into is that my database can not handle
any more data. It seems that the files table can't handle any more
records, which i told it to handle 10B.
Currently there are around 54 backup jobs, that run from around 20
servers. I allow four jobs per server at most

Is there anyone out there backing up 3TB plus?
If so, how does Bacula perform and how long does it
taking for a full and/or differential?
Thanks,

To support the testing I've built Bacula 2.4.1-b2 for debian/etch. The

For some reason many of my archive's seem to have sanity failures
during restores. I'm having to use bextract with -p to get files... is
there a way to verify the integrity of a volume?
Sincerely,

No, i don't use gzip.
I use the more simple configuration for bacula.
Iperf show a good performance and all services running well.
I use LTO 4.

It's a bit hard without more information. Are you using software
compression (gzip) in your FileSets?

Is your source drive a raid (0, 5, 6, 10 ...)?
How many files are you backing up?
Are the machines involved 2GHz or better?

I'm using SAS Raid 5 (Hardware) and my machines are better 2GHz.
Exists a Network buffer for tuning ?

Humm, didn't you have in your fileset the folder where you make your

So can you make a listing of your second backup to be sure that in

Hi Folks,
I have to retrieve files from a very old backup. The bacula daemon has not
run for months on the backup server, and the files to retrieve are also
months old.
If I would start up the bacula director it would immediately start pruning
the old file entries from the database and marking the tapes overwritable.
But I have to get these files first.
My first bet would be to enter the database and manipulate the retention
date of files, volumes, pools, etc. before starting bacula director. Is
this the correct approach to the problem? And if yes, what date(s) exactly
do I have to manipulate (I did not find out from the docs which dates are
calculated by bacula director at runtime and which are fixed database
entries)?
I think Bacula prunes files when you run a job, not as soon as you start the
director. You can put 'AutoPrune = no' in the client and pool definitions to
turn off automatic pruning.

Today I am questioning the integrity of a backup archive created for a
full backup. We created the backup with the intention of an easy
restore (though we did have other means to recover data). However,
when we proceeded to run the restore, numerous archive errors were
found. First we had checksum errors, then the restore failed. The only
way to recover what was left was to use bextract with the -p argument.
The backup was made from a Windows 2003 SBS to a local usb drive. The
windows machine was running the FD and SD version 2.4 and the director
was running 2.2.7. Though I am willing to bet that this was just a
freak accident caused by unusual circumstances (and perhaps a faulty
usb drive.)
We only had one problem doing the restore and that was bextract
inability to strip windows paths from backups. Bextract should feature
all the regex and recovery options that are available via bacula.
My question is, is there a way to check the integrity of bacula
archives? I have made full backups to this usb drive before and I am
unsure if this was an isolated incident.
I think the bls command will test the checkums in the volume.
For the future, I suggesting running a job with Type=Verify
Level=VolumeToCatalog. It only works with the last job that matches the
VerifyJob option, so you can't use it to check all of the old jobs.

Yes, each client backup files are stored in a separate directory.
[root@lidp11 lidp11]# pwd
/backups/backupfiles/lidp11
[root@lidp11 lidp11]# ls -lh
