I am still trying to do my first bacula backup to tape, its a 80G folder from 2006 disk based backups.
I think I have the correct job set up, I understand its a manual full job (no schedule) and have run into 2 problems (as seen in the log below). 1. Why can't I use my tape? I don't care whats on it, I just want to overwrite it and expect the next to be prompted for when needed. I will call it anything! 2. Why does the "bytes" column show 58.2M when I know the backup is much bigger? Also, is there a facility for bacula to send an email when the tape needs changing please? Thanks! *status dir tiger-dir Version: 2.0.3 (06 March 2007) i686-pc-linux-gnu redhat (Zod) Daemon started 29-Apr-07 09:36, 1 Job run since started.

Do not forget to mount the drive!!! * Looking at this log, is it still waiting for the correct volume and if it found it would it then carry on with the backup? -- -------------------------- http://www.phonewebcam.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
