Hi Robert,

I'm setting up v 2.0.2 on a Win 2003 box and needing to use Alexander  
Kuehn's script written in the Tips section.

What I'm needing help on is to:

1. validate the path info along with variables is correct AND
2. how to add the virtual database for the slots as shown below in  
Alexander's example shown here to the mtx-changer.cmd file.

Device {
    Name=DDS3
    Archive Device = # use yours not mine! ;)/dev/nsa0
    Changer Device = # not really required/dev/nsa0
    Changer Command = "# use this (maybe change the path)!
          /usr/local/bin/mtx-changer %o %a %S"
    Maximum Changer Wait = 3d          # 3 days in seconds
    AutomaticMount = yes;              # mount on start
    AlwaysOpen = yes;                  # keep device locked
    Media Type = DDS3                  # it's just a name
    RemovableMedia = yes;              #
    Offline On Unmount = Yes;          # keep this too
    Label media = Yes;                 #
}
As the script has to emulate the complete wisdom of a mtx-changer it  
has an internal "database" containing where which tape is stored, you  
can see this on the following line:

labels="VOL-0001 VOL-0002 VOL-0003 VOL-0004 VOL-0005 VOL-0006
VOL-0007 VOL-0008 VOL-0009 VOL-0010 VOL-0011 VOL-0012"

I have modified the Device config to this:

#
Device {
   Name = DDS-4                        #
   Media Type = DDS-4
   Changer Command = "C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\bin" %o %a %s
   Maximum Changer Wait = 12h
   Device Type = Tape
   Archive Device = Tape0
   AutomaticMount = yes               # when device opened, read it
   AlwaysOpen = yes
   RemovableMedia = yes
   Offline On Unmount = yes
   RandomAccess = no
   Label media = yes
#  Alert Command = "tapeinfo -f %c | findstr TapeAlert"
}


Thanks,

Erich
