Hi everybody,
I got 2 problems with my bacula configuration : I got 41,xxx,xxx kbytes of data to backup (got this number with estimate command in bacula console), but when a full backup has finished It take 2 tapes with 38,xxx,xxx kbytes on one tape and 22,xxx,xxx in the other. I precise that during the backup, when the first tape is full, i receive an error message of bacula that say « 09-Nov 06:40 zeus-sd: Job NightlySave.2005-11-08_23.00.00 waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes. », so i make a end_of_backup.sh then I insert the second tape and make a mount in bacula console, and the backup goes on and continue at the end i got this : 08-Nov 23:00 zeus-dir: Start Backup JobId 141, Job=NightlySave.2005-11- 08_23.00.00 08-Nov 23:00 zeus-sd: Volume "mardi" previously written, moving to end of data. 08-Nov 23:01 zeus-sd: Ready to append to end of Volume "mardi" at file=35. 08-Nov 23:37 zeus-sd: End of Volume "mardi" at 37:9075 on device /dev/tape.

My First question is : Why 2 tapes for 41 Go (without compression) !? My tapes are DLT IV 40/80 Gb… Sometimes, if i don’t insert the second tape of a backup at time, Bacula put the missing tapes in error, so i have to delete volume, make a mt –t /dev/tape rewind && mt –t /dev/tape weof and label agin this tape and insert in the pool… why ? why Bacula puts it in error ? Thanks for your help !
