Hi,
I've just started using Bacula, and I'm having several issues. The
pressing one right now is, I just went to a customer site, and used
wx-console to show them how to do a restore. I set her to the operator
email address, and she got an email to insert the "Wednesday-2" tape. We
did that, but it did not progress at all until I manually went over to
the server and issued the mount command. When running the restore job
through the wx-console, the console was greyed out and I could not issue
a mount command after inserting the correct tape. Is there a way to
force Bacula to read this tape label and start the restore after a tape
has been inserted? It's a SCSI-2 HP Surestore DAT 24 model c1556d
On a related note, I'm currently trying to write scripts to get through
the problems I'm encountering with bacula. I have two scripts right now,
one to run an 'unmount, mount' command before the nightly(weeknights)
backups to get it to recognize the current tape in the machine. That
script also has to cancel any jobs currently trying to run(ie if the
user forgot to put in the tape that day or if a holiday comes up and
they can't change tapes).
The other script I'm using labels the tape every friday(they use a new
tape every friday) so the backup will run.
Has anyone run into these problems before and know of a good solution?
-Jimmy
