Or clone (bcopy?) the tape to a new tape with the right label. For your own sanity, I'd suggest you stick a label on the tape, give Bacula the same name to put on the tape, and leave it that way. My guess is you have a bunch of "spare" tapes that get sucked in as required, yes? In which case I'd suggest you use Bacula volume pools to manage them: have a "Backup" pool and a "Scratch" pool, and tapes called something else, like "BKUP0027". Initialise/label new tapes, giving Bacula the "BKUP0027" name, and put them in the Scratch pool. When Bacula needs a new tape it'll suck it out of the Scratch pool and put it in the Backup pool; you can get a list from Bacula of which tapes are in which pool.

The label is inside the head volume .. So you can just extract (brestore) the content somewhere, make a new label and re-backup it -- Bruno Friedmann ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
