Hi All,
Am presently in the midst of configuring Bacula to backup some aggregated data from a few servers to tape. All works fine, however am slightly confused wrt cleaning tapes. According to the manual you can assign a cleaning prefix, however as I understand this is only useful for autochangers with barcodes. So how do you create a cleaning job??? For instance I'd like to assign slot6 as a cleaning slot, and then create a *CleaningJob* that loads and accesses the cleaning tape, once a week. Say on Sunday evening when nothing should be happening. Is this supported in Bacula, or is it just easier/better to have a quick and dirty script run from cron, that uses mtx to load and then unload the tape???
