[bareos-users] Pool setting not being inherited from JobDefs?

['Chris Butler' via bareos-users]

Hi all,

Can anyone see what's wrong with the following config?

The relevant JobDefs and pools are set up as:

=-=-=-=-=-=
*show jobdefs=OpenVAS
JobDefs {
Name = "OpenVAS"
FileSet = "OpenVAS"
JobDefs = "DefaultBackup"
}

*show jobdefs=DefaultBackup
JobDefs {
Name = "DefaultBackup"
Type = Backup
Schedule = "Daily"
JobDefs = "Default"
AlwaysIncremental = yes
AlwaysIncrementalMaxFullAge = 1 months
}

*show jobdefs=Default
JobDefs {
Name = "Default"
Level = Incremental
Messages = "Standard"
Pool = "AI-Incremental"
FileSet = "SrvOnly"
WriteBootstrap = "/var/lib/bareos/%c.bsr"
Accurate = yes
AllowDuplicateJobs = no
CancelLowerLevelDuplicates = yes
CancelQueuedDuplicates = yes
}

*show pools
Pool {
Name = "AI-Incremental"
PoolType = Backup
LabelFormat = "AI-Incremental-"
LabelType = "bareos"
MaximumVolumeBytes = 50 g
VolumeUseDuration = 23 hours
NextPool = "AI-Consolidated"
Storage = "File"
}
=-=-=-=-=-=

As you can see, we have a top-level "Default" entry, followed by a "DefaultBackup" entry which includes "Default" and sets some additional settings that are just for Backup jobs, finally we have the "OpenVAS" entry which uses the "DefaultBackup" entry with an alternative FileSet.


However, if I then try to add a job that uses that JobDefs entry, I get an error:

=-=-=-=-=-=
Job {
Name = "backup-openvas.mydomain.com"
Client = "openvas.mydomain.com-fd"
JobDefs = "OpenVAS"
}

As I understand it from the documentation, a JobDefs resource can reference other JobDefs, so as far as I can tell the above should work fine. Am I missing something?


Thanks,
Chris

Just to add, what is bizarre is that it's just this JobDefs resource that seems to be affected. I have another similar one set up that works fine:

=-=-=-=-=-=
JobDefs {
Name = "DB_MySQL"
FileSet = "DB_MySQL"
JobDefs = "DefaultBackup"
}

Job {
Name = "backup-webstats.mydomain.com"
Client = "webstats.mydomain.com-fd"
Job Defs = "DB_MySQL"
}
=-=-=-=-=-=


No complaints about missing storage with that one!

Any ideas? Or am I better off submitting a bug report?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

the only idea I have is to reduce the complexity with with no job
definitions based on each other.
Similar happened a few month ago at another colleague here and it was
the only working solution.

Regards

Stefan
