The following list of commands could be used to get a brief or detailed view of a Bacula backup server from the management utility
bconsole
. These commands are extremely useful for getting information on the backup process and policy and Bacula troubleshooting – could be used for fast debugging of an error, problems or misconfiguration.
the following commands give information for
-
Jobs
list jobtotals Lists stats for all jobs, it also shows all jobs’ names show jobs Lists all jobs with their full configurations – show all jobs and for each job show detail explanation of what represent. The detail output includes full configuration of a job including client, catalog, fileset,schedule,pool,message. This will show all relationships between the different components of bacula system, how and which clients,storages,pools,schedules,filesets relate to. You’ll a thoroughly view of how let’s say a server is made the backup. show job=[job_name] shows full configuration for a job, the name could be taken by the two above commands list jobs Lists all jobs’ status – ID, StartTime, Type (backup?), Level (Full, increment, differential?), Files and bytes processed and the status of the job (Terminated normally, Running,Fatal error and so on) list files jobid=[ID] which files were included in the backup? Lists all paths and files included in the backup, not a configuration set but real physical path and filenames. status dir if you want to find all scheduled jobs for the next day (or more if you add a parameter). This will show the status of the director process. -
Storages
status storage list storage devices and their status – you can see the physical path on the filesystem where the Devices will put backup files -
Clients
show client show all clients’ names and backup policy status client=[client_name] show client status and what is doing, check the network connection between the director and the client, last terminated jobs and their status. -
Filesets
show fileset show all filesets, a fileset is a set with files and directories to include or exclude from a backup. -
Schedule
show schedule shows all registered schedulers and details for each one (Run Level=Full,Differential,Incremental), months, days, minutes. show schedule=[scheduler_name] shows details for a schedule with name scheduler_name (Run Level=Full,Differential,Incremental), months, days, minutes. It’s like the schedule backup plan of a server -
Director
message shows the last message of the backup process. If empty all logs of the backup process could be found in “/var/log/bacula/bacula.log” reload the director will re-read its all configuration files. Should be used when adding configuration files.
And here is the example output of the above commands with a little bit of explanation:
-
Jobs
1) Get the stats and the jobs’ names, the names could be used in many other commands!

2) Get all configurations for all jobs, here are included only two for clarity. All needed information for taking a backup of a server. You can see the files, which will be included (or excluded), where the backup will be stored when will happen in time, and how many different types of backup will be done – full, incremental, and differential. And this whole information is for all clients (servers).

1) Show all client names in the bacula system, this could be useful to link a client name with a server and then to use the name in the next command (below in 2):

2) Show status of a client. We can use this command to check what is going on with the client at the moment of issuing the command, the last terminated backup jobs and their status. In addition we can check the connection between the Director daemon and the client daemon, because the Director connects at the moment we issue the command, so it is useful for debugging purposes:

Which files will be included or excluded from the backup process. The lines starting with “I” mean “include”, the lines starting with “E” mean exclude.

Director
1) Show the last messages of the backup processes. As you can see there is an error in one of the jobs, this error means that the client did not connect to the backup daemon (probably the same server with the Director), the problem was the firewall did not allow connections from this client (IP):
