You can set something like this up, but I don't like it. > The question is: is it to handle, that bacula does not reuse the labelled > tape > 1 on monday of week 3, but really erases it, labels it with the current date > and does his backup job. Oh oh... using some scripting, this is possible, but I would strongly recommend against it. Baculas volume management is good enough to not need that sort of games. Also, think what happens when you use an autochanger with barcode reader: You'd have to stick new labels to your cartridges every time you want it relabeled... > Or to say "OK, today, I want to take a tape offsite > and replace it with a new tape from my vendor, which was never used before". > So bacula needs to be told, to e.g. on 3rd monday tape no. 1, but not to > append but relabel it with the current date OR use a new tape. Also possible with heavy scripting, I think. > This example can be spread up up to 4 weeks cycle with 40 tapes etc. > > I hope I was able to state my question if not, please ask :-) I sense a fundamental difference of philosophy... for you, the tape label is some kind of a name indicating the tape's contents. For me, the tape label is a unique identifier for a single tape, which will never change during that tapes lifetime, and which will never be reused. Of course I think I am right :-) If you really want to have changing tape labels and automatic relabeling, you will need some complex scripts to achieve that with Bacula.
