Linux – Bacula errors in bacula-sd.conf

backupbaculalinuxUbuntu

I'm new to Bacula and just finished an install on Ubuntu 14.04.

I have installed mySQL then Bacula. However getting the error below.

user@Bacula:/$ sudo bacula-dir -tc /etc/bacula-sd.conf
13-May 18:42 bacula-dir; ERROR TERMINATION at parse_conf.c:991 Config error: Keywod "WorkingDirectory" not permitted in this previous resourse.
      : line 16, col 19 of file /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf
   WorkingDirectory = "var/lib/bacula"

I looked into this however I have not made changes around here. I also looked for trailing braces and found none.

You are trying to use the director to test the storage daemon's config. This probably won't work, as an SD's config is not generally a valid director config. Try using the storage daemon to test its own config:

sudo bacula-sd -tc /etc/bacula-sd.conf

Bacula supports a Migration job type that should do what you need. See here.

Okay, so because of the following config error:

  Media Type = LTO-4
  Media Type = File

I confused bacula it seems. The media was listed from the list media command as type File. So what I did was drop the pool and then try to rescan with label barcode. However, it was refused because the tapes already had the bacula volume lablel on them. To fix this I made this little loop:

for i in $(seq 1 8); do 
    /etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer /dev/sg5 load $i /dev/st0 0
    mt -f /dev/st0 rewind
    mt -f /dev/st0 weof
    /etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer /dev/sg5 unload $i /dev/st0 0
done

I was then able to run the label barcode again this time without the original error or the "3920 Cannot label Volume because it is already labeled" error.
