No, sorry, it doesn't work. I specified a spool dir (although the working dir
by default) and I specified the maximum size of the spool (although unlimited
by default) but still the tape is written to immediately (while spooling).
Maybe it's because of the old version but I couldn't find anything in the
changelogs also.
I'll post the relevant parts of my config:
The job:
Job {
Name = maxtor
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/maxtor.bsr"
Client = debian-fd
Type = Backup
Level = Full
Pool = Default
Storage = Tape
FileSet = maxtor-fs
Messages = Standard
Spool Data = yes
Spool Attributes = yes
}
The tape device:
Autochanger {
Name = SuperLoader3
Device = Drive-1
Changer Device = /dev/sg2
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
}
Device {
Name = Drive-1
Archive Device = /dev/st0
Device Type = Tape
Media Type = LTO3
Autochanger = Yes
Always Open = Yes
Removable media = Yes
Random access = No
Requires Mount = No
Spool Directory = "/var/lib/bacula"
Maximum Spool Size = 11759496889
Maximum Job Spool Size = 11759496889 # 10GB
