No need to delete the volumes from the catalog... just set their status to something unusable... or, preferrably, disable them. > But if I by some chanche would like to get a file back, I'd like to be > able to tell which of the send volumes that I should "bscan" to get it > working. > > Is there a script somewhere that takes a "volumename" and give me a "tar > tvf-like" output of the complete volume content? Some of the queries will help you there. Try the query command in bconsole. You can redirect the output to a file, too. > Og is there a different solution for this problem that I have overlooked? I like to print the volume's contents (jobs listing, not each file in my case) and store this printout with the tape in question. Of course, having a CD with the source code of your current Bacula version there, too, is also nice :-) Arno > Jesper > -- Arno Lehmann IT-Service Lehmann www.its-lehmann.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
