ntp wasn’t running but Nagios didn’t notice

3 Comments / Nagios, Network monitoring / By Dan Langille / September 24, 2010

Earlier today, I noticed the following output from a Bacula job: 24-Sep 14:14 bacula-dir JobId 38548: Start Backup JobId 38548, Job=latens_home.2010-09-24_14.12.38_31 24-Sep 14:14 bacula-dir JobId 38548: Using Device “MegaFile-latens” 24-Sep 14:09 latens-fd JobId 38548: DIR and FD clocks differ by -307 seconds, FD automatically compensating. That’s 5 minutes. It shouldn’t be varying by that much. […]

Why no Drobo? Or SmartStor?

Leave a Comment / hardware / By Dan Langille / February 11, 2010 / The ZFS server

People have asked me why I’m creating what amounts to a NAS. Why don’t I use Drobo or SmartStor for example? The above don’t have ZFS, which is the best solution for redundant storage. I can’t install Bacula on those systems. Sure, Bacula could run on another system and access that storage, but being directly

I have about 14,000 data points collected from backups. I started in Oct 2007, but have not done anything with the data. I’d like your help.

mtx-changer script catches me

Leave a Comment / Bacula, Open Source / By Dan Langille / January 17, 2010

NOTE: this problem may not be a problem. After rebooting the system while having the tape library powered up, the problem went away. This may or may not be coincident. Note to self: mtx-changer needs more customization than I thought. Today showed great progress in completing the integration of my tape library into my Bacula

Faster backups

1 Comment / Backups, Bacula, Open Source, ZFS / By Dan Langille / December 5, 2009

Backups come in three flavors: Full – backup everything Differential – backup everything since the last Full backup Incremental – backup everything since the last backup (Full or Incremental) I took the above from What Is Bacula? Most systems use mtime to determine if a file has changed. Thus, any file that has been modified

What jobs are on these tapes?

5 Comments / Bacula, PostgreSQL / By Dan Langille / August 28, 2009

I use Bacula. To be clear, I wrote part of Bacula (the PostgreSQL part). Today I need to find out what jobs are on each of three tapes. Why? I just happened to cancel a 1.5TB job a few hours before it was to finish. By this time it had written to three tapes. I

Running it found no DHCP servers. The MoCA light was flashing red on the ONT. I called Verizon. We rebooted the OTN
