Hi, my backup strategy is to use one tape per week and after 5 weeks/tapes I re-use the first tape. I do a full backup on Sunday evening and I want to change the tape on Monday morning when I'm in the office. I recently changed the config files to automatically eject the tape. This was the case this Monday morning, but after I inserted an unused tape (I just labeled it last week in advance) and mounted it, the director is still waiting for a tape (see below). I use Bacula on Windows 2003 server.
I did already a "purge jobs volume" for the "Tape05" but that didn't help. Now I'm somewhat lost. How do I convince Bacula to use "Tape05" ? Thanks in advance Andreas Device config: Device { Name = Quantum Changer Device = tape0 Media Type = DLT-V4 Device Type = Tape Archive Device = Tape0 AutomaticMount = yes AlwaysOpen = yes RemovableMedia = yes RandomAccess = no AutoChanger = no Alert Command = "tapeinfo -f %c | findstr TapeAlert" Spool Directory = "V:\\BaculaSpool" Maximum Spool Size = 2 GB Changer Command = "mtx-changer %o %a %S" Maximum Changer Wait = 4d Offline On Unmount = yes Label media = yes } status storage ========================================================================================== ====== Daemon started 19-Feb-07 15:48, 12 Jobs run since started.
