Hi there, I work with Rob Ostrander, the initiator of this thread. I've also been working on the problem of bacula reporting that the number of VolumeFiles mismatch between the volume and the catalog.
After reading the manual thoroughly and poking around the web, I'm still not sure what VolumeFiles referrs to. an example: I did a test backup job of 101 files on a fresh tape which completed successfully: FD Files Written: 101 SD Files Written: 101 afterwards I attempted to do a second backup job on the same tape, but got the familiar error message: 08-Dec 13:36 vtsan1-sd: test.2006-12-08_13.36.27 Error: I cannot write on Volume "TestVolume" because: The number of files mismatch! Volume=0 Catalog=1 I updated the VolumeFiles for this tape in the catalog to 0 and did a second backup job. I restored and verified both backup jobs without any problem. what does VolumeFiles correspond to? It's obviously not the number of actual files on the tape. is it supposed to correspond to the number of jobs on a tape? anyway, many people seem to have this VolumeFiles mismatch problem. we have it on 3 different servers with 3 different tape changers, so I'm going to file a bug report. -- ______________________________ Forrest England | System Administrator V 802.658.0965 x179 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | www.dealer.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
