Agent) is a program that allows the user or the System Administrator, to interact with the Director daemon while the daemon is running. The current Console comes in two versions: a shell interface (TTY style), and a QT GUI interface (BAT). Both permit the administrator or authorized users to interact with Bacula. You can determine the status of a particular job, examine the contents of the Catalog as well as perform certain tape manipulations with the Console program. Since the Console program interacts with the Bacula Director through the network, your Console and Director programs do not necessarily need to run on the same machine. In fact, a certain minimal knowledge of the Console program is needed in order for Bacula to be able to write on more than one tape, because when Bacula requests a new tape, it waits until the user, via the Console program, indicates that the new tape is mounted. 1.1 Console Configuration When the Console starts, it reads a standard Bacula configuration file named bconsole.conf or bat.conf in the case of the BATQT Console version from the current directory unless you specify the -c command line option (see below). This file allows default configuration of the Console, and at the current time, the only Resource Record defined is the Director resource, which gives the Console the name and address of the Director. For more information on configuration of the Console program, please see the Console Configuration chapter (chapter 26 page 337) of the Bacula Community Edition Main manual. 1.2 Running the Console Program The Bacula Console program can be run with the following options: Usage: bconsole [-s] [-c config_file] [-d debug_level] -c <file> set configuration file to file -dnn set debug level to nn -n no conio -s no signals -u <nn> set command execution timeout to <nn> seconds -t test - read configuration and exit -? print this message. After launching the Console program (bconsole), it will prompt you for the next command Bacula Community Edition v.11.0.4 (29 May 2021) 1/65 All trademarks are the property of their respective owners Console and Operators Guide Alphabetic List of Console Keywords with an asterisk (*). Generally, for all commands, you can simply enter the command name and the Console program will prompt you for the necessary arguments. Alternatively, in most cases, you may enter the command followed by arguments. The general format is: <command> <keyword1>[=<argument1>] <keyword2>[=<argument2>] ... where command is one of the commands listed below; keyword is one of the keywords listed below (usually followed by an argument); and argument is the value. The command may be abbreviated to the shortest unique form. If two commands have the same starting letters, the one that will be selected is the one that appears first in the help listing. If you want the second command, simply spell out the full command. None of the keywords following the command may be abbreviated. For example: list files jobid=23 will list all files saved for JobId 23. Or: show pools will display all the Pool resource records. The maximum command line length is limited to 511.... characters, so if you are scripting the console, you may need to take some care to limit the line length. 1.3 Stopping the Console

Priscila Solis (Advisor) CIC/UnB Prof. Dr. Jacir Bordim Dr. Georges Amvame-Nzê Universidade de Brasília Universidade de Brasília Prof. Dr. Marcelo Ladeira Coordinator of the Post-graduation Program in Applied Computing Brasília, July 1st, 2018 Abstract Backup is a replica of any data that can be used to restore its original form. However, the total amount of digital data created worldwide more than doubles every two years and is expected reach 44 trillions of gigabytes in 2020, bringing constant new challenges to backup processes. Enterprise backup is one of the oldest and most performed tasks by in- frastructure and operations professionals. Still, most backup systems have been designed and optimized for outdated environments and use cases. That fact, generates frustration over currently backup challenges and leads to a greater willingness to modernize and to consider new technologies. Traditional backup and archive solutions are no longer able to meet users current needs. The ideal modern currently backup and recovery software product should not only provide features to attend a traditional data center, but also allow the integration and exploration of the growing Cloud, including “backup client as a service” and “backup storage as a service”.

  • Improving Read Performance with BP-Dags for Storage-Efficient File Backup
    Send Orders for Reprints to [email protected] 90 The Open Electrical & Electronic Engineering Journal, 2013, 7, 90-97 Open Access Improving Read Performance with BP-DAGs for Storage-Efficient File Backup Tianming Yang*, Jing Zhang and Ningbo Hao International College, Huanghuai University, Henan, 463000, China Abstract: The continued growth of data and high-continuity of application have raised a critical and mounting demand on storage-efficient and high-performance data protection. New technologies, especially the D2D (Disk-to-Disk) de- duplication storage are therefore getting wide attention both in academic and industry in the recent years. Existing de- duplication systems mainly rely on duplicate locality inside the backup workload to achieve high throughput but suffer from read performance degrading under conditions of poor duplicate locality. This paper presents the design and perform- ance evaluation of a D2D-based de-duplication file backup system, which employs caching techniques to improve write throughput while encoding files as graphs called BP-DAGs (Bi-pointer-based Directed Acyclic Graphs). BP-DAGs not only satisfy the 'unique' chunk storing policy of de-duplication, but also help improve file read performance in case of poor duplicate locality workloads. Evaluation results show that the system can achieve comparable read performance than non de-duplication backup systems such as Bacula under representative workloads, and the metadata storage overhead for BP-DAGs are reasonably low. Keywords: Data De-duplication, File Backup, Storage-Efficient, Read Performance. 1. INTRODUCTION schemes are emerging to provide more storage-efficient and high performance data protection for enterprises [9-13]. Data explosion [1] has been forcing backups to expand storage capacity, which makes modern enterprises face sig- In de-duplication, files or streams are divided into chunks nificant cost pressures and data management challenges.

Copyright © December 2018 Bacula Systems www.baculasystems.com/contactus................................... All trademarks are the property of their respective owners 1 Bacula Regression Testing If you decided to install Bacula from source, and want to be as sure as possible that your self-compiled binaries behave as expected, the regression testing suite included with the source code is the best way to do so. You do not need to be a developer to run the regression scripts. If you installed Bacula from packages, going through the regression tests can be a reasonable way to ensure that everything behaves as expected and can be an important part of the pre-production testing routine. The tests are shell scripts that drive Bacula through bconsole and then typically compare the input and output with diff, so no particular infrastructure beyond what you needed to build Bacula and what is part of a typical Unix / Linux system is required. To get started, we recommend that you create a directory named bacula, under which you will put the current source code and the current set of regression scripts. The directory could have any name you like, though. Note, all the standard regression scripts run as non-root and can be run on the same machine as a production Bacula system.

One of the many services cloud computing provides to its users is data storage. The majority of the users of this service are still concerned to outsource their data due to the integrity and confidentiality issues, as well as performance and cost issues, that come along with it.

The current Bacula Console comes in two versions: a shell interface (TTY style), and a GNOME GUI interface. Both permit the administrator or authorized users to interact with Bacula. You can determine the status of a particular job, examine the contents of the Catalog as well as perform certain tape manipulations with the Console program. In addition, there is a wx-console built with wxWidgets that allows a graphic restore of files. As of version 1.34.1 it is in an early stage of development, but it already is quite useful. Since the Console program interacts with the Director through the network, your Console and Director programs do not necessarily need to run on the same machine.
