like me, you want to get Bacula running immediately to get a feel for it, then later you want to go back and read about all the details. This chapter attempts to accomplish just that: get you going quickly without all the details. If you want to skip the section on Pools, Volumes and Labels, you can always come back to it, but please read to the end of this chapter, and in particular follow the instructions for testing your tape drive. We assume that you have managed to build and install Bacula, if not, you might want to first look at the System Requirements then at the Compiling and Installing Bacula chapter of this manual. 1.1 Understanding Jobs and Schedules In order to make Bacula as flexible as possible, the directions given to Bacula are specified in several pieces. The main instruction is the job resource, which defines a job. A backup job generally consists of a FileSet, a Client, a Schedule for one or several levels or times of backups, a Pool, as well as additional instructions. Another way of looking at it is the FileSet is what to backup; the Client is who to backup; the Schedule defines when, and the Pool defines where (i.e. what Volume). Typically one FileSet/Client combination will have one corresponding job. Most of the directives, such as FileSets, Pools, Schedules, can be mixed and matched among the jobs. So you might have two different Job definitions (resources) backing up different servers using the same Schedule, the same Fileset (backing up the same directories on two machines) and maybe even the same Pools. The Schedule will define what type of backup will run when (e.g. Full on Monday, incremental the rest of the week), and when more than one job uses the same schedule, the job priority determines which actually runs first. If you have a lot of jobs, you might want to use JobDefs, where you can set defaults for the jobs, which can then be changed in the job resource, but this saves rewriting the identical parameters for each job. In addition to the FileSets you want to back up, you should also have a job that backs up your catalog. Finally, be aware that in addition to the backup jobs there are restore, verify, and admin jobs, which have different requirements. 1.2 Understanding Pools, Volumes and Labels If you have been using a program such as tar to backup your system, Pools, Volumes, and labeling may be a bit confusing at first. A Volume is a single physical tape (or possibly a single file) on which Bacula will write your backup data. Pools group together Volumes so that a backup is not restricted to the length of a single Volume (tape). Consequently, rather than explicitly naming Volumes in your Job, you specify a Pool, and Bacula will select the

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.

NumPy turns Python into is an ideal language experimental numerical and scientific computing (as powerful as APL, MatLab, IDL and others, but much more elegant). If you do not have a mathematical background, you can think of a 1-dimensional array as a column in a spread- sheet. The spreadsheet lets you change whole columns element by element in one single statement. In a similar way, NumPy lets you change whole arrays element by element in one single statement as illustrated by the fol- lowing snippet: >>> import numpy as np >>> x= np.arange(0.0, 10.0, 3.0) >>> y= np.sin(x) >>> x array([ 0., 3., 6., 9.]) >>> y array([ 0.

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. 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.
