So I recently installed an Overland Arcvault 12 tape library on a server to back up /var/log/ and /home. The server is an out-of-box RHEL 5 install, with all packages selected, in an isolated lan, with no package updates. Also, this is a live server that cannot be brought down for backups, and some files may be actively in use during the dump - just gotta live with it. Since I know EL5 and

We're using RMAN to back up our 9.2 RAC database to an OCFS v1 volume. We have an existing shell script that we use for copying files from disk to tape via tar, one file at a time. (Don't ask why. It's a legacy script. Long story.) We're tweaking this script to use --o_direct when tarring the file to tape and that seems to be working fine: # tape device is /dev/nst0 $ tar

Greetings, Does anyone know if it is possible to give a guest domain access to character device hardware such as a SCSI tape drive (/dev/st0 | /dev/nst0)? I have recompiled the guest xenU kernel with hardware access and declared the pci SCSI card in the config file directive as follows: pci = [ ''4,3,0'' ] The log file when started reports: [2005-11-01 17:24:57 xend] DEBUG

Would anyone have any ideas with smbclient sits at FUTEX_WAIT in below message? Typing: strace smbclient -d 5 shows it sitting at: futex(0x2aaaabdf2dc0, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NU.

I posted this in the Bacula list without success so I hope I might have some luck here. Btape and mt can access my DDS-3 Seagate Archive Python 06480-xxx tape drive but Bacula tray-mon ends up finally stating that it cannot open device /dev/nst0? That is the device string that I use to access the drive, oddly enough it also suggest the SD could not open the one file based storage location I have

Posting here in the hope that some one may have encountered problems with recovery from backups on LTO4 media and found a solution. Back ups on FujiFilm LTO4 media (800/1600). Archives created using tar -cf /dev/nst0. ?The tapes were fine when the archives were created (tested by extracting random sample files from them) but something went wrong in storage (no physical damage). Now a few LTO4

Hi, I have a CentOS 4.1 (with a two hdds RAID 1 using mdadm) running some database system.... I connected a DLT device on its SCSI interface (/dev/nst0) in order to make some external backup..... I dump several filesystems (/, /boot /usr /var /home and others)....so and when I try to dump manualy for expmple /boot I get this: [root at Server ~]# dump -0vuf /dev/nst0 /boot DUMP: Date of this

Hi all, We have a bit of a problem with backups. We've been using bacula to tape and now trying to disk but it's a complete nightmare as regards tape management. The backup to file storage went ok for ages and now is stuck 'waiting for max storage jobs' which is odd as that's set to 20 and it's the only backup running. That's totally typical of bacula. Can anyone

I have an Overland tape library connected, via SCSI card, to an out-of-box, full install of C5 install on an old PC. I have a script that uses tar to archive data to tape and mtx to change tapes. What I don't know, if possible, is to obtain the status of how much tape is left in the drive. If I get a write failure, I'd like to know if the tape is bad or has run out of space. I

I created a cron job to invoke a dump script according to Tower Of Hanoi. I am dumping a subdirectory and a filesystem. The backup script, with some other lines removed: /path/to/dump -0 -fv /dev/nst0 /var/log /path/to-dump -3 -fv /dev/nst0 /home When viewing the dump logs, it looks like it is taking the whole job as a level 0. Am missing something? Thanks. Scott

I may have asked about this before, but I can't find any records of so doing in my saved mail (which includes almost everything I ever read or write): All of a sudden, I am not getting flash drives automatically mounted in CentOS 5.3 with GNOME - they are recognized by the hardware, but there seems to be a (new?) problem with the maps. Here's the tail end of dmesg: usb 1-10: new high

As I am new to dovecot and sieve I am really happy to get it working in a straight forward way. Thanks for the documentation to whom it concerns. Now I came to my limits with this failure messages in /home/rolf/.dovecot.sieve.log: sieve: info: started log at Jun 25 20:22:54. error: msgid=<1340648569.94073.YahooMailClassic at web190304.mail.sg3.yahoo.com>: failed to store into mailbox

So I thought I'd get a head start for next week - I have a low-power Linux box that has a few samba shares mounted, and limited hard disk space. This box is connected to a tape library via SCSI card. I want to find the best way to create a full, then incremental backup of the samba mounts, directly to tape. Some of the samba mounts are appliances that cannot run any special

OK, I know that there''s been some discussion on this before, but I''m not sure that any specific advice came out of it. What would the advice be for supporting a largish number of users (10,000 say) on a system that supports ZFS? We currently use vxfs and assign a user quota, and backups are done via Legato Networker. >From what little I currently understand, the general

Hello all, I am Mohd Azeem. I want to contribute in Xapian but I am a newbie here. I wonder if anyone could help me in getting started with Xapian.

Hey folks, I just went through the archives to see what people are doing for backups, and here is what I found : - amanda - bacula - BackupPC - FreeNAS Here is my situation : we have pretty much all Sun hardware with a Sun StorageTek SL24 tape unit backing it all up. OSes are a combination of RHEL and CentOS. The software we are using is EMC NetWorker Management Console version

How does one serve out a tape drive attached to a Unix server similar to serving out a printer attached to the server? Tape drive is a TRAVAN-5 20/10GB at /dev/nst0 (nonrewinding scsi) and responds to "mt" commands appropriately. thanks -- tom | "When we are born we cry that we have tommyr@agora.rdrop.com | come to this great stage of fools!" | W.

Hi, i got an SCSI-Controller with a tapeloader and a external raid attached. exporting the raid-set is no problem via disk... now i have to export the devices for the tape-backup to one of my domUs. Devices needed are /dev/sg1 (for the loader) and /dev/nst0 (for the drive). I could not find any helpfull documentation to this. Could anyone give me a hint? thx in advance max --
