I'm running into an issue with my offsite pools that are being rotated out.
Our environment is that we have a File backup which clones to an Offsite pool when the main backups are complete. We have 4 sets of Offsite tapes which are rotated out of an autochanger weekly. When a volume becomes full during cloning, bacula is attempting to mount the oldest Appendable tape that has data on it, even though inchanger=0 and slot=0. I have to manually mount a tape in order to continue the cloning. The only post I can find about this implies this was a problem that was fixed back in bacula 2.X. Am I missing a configuration option or something that is causing this behavior? My Pool config looks like this: Pool { Name = Default Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes Volume Retention = 60 days # two months Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G Storage = FileBackup Recycle Oldest Volume = yes LabelFormat = "Vol-" NextPool = Offsite } Pool { Name = Offsite Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 60 days Recycle Oldest Volume = yes Storage = TapeBackup } The autochanger and device config looks like this: # # An autochanger device with two drives # Autochanger { Name = Jezebel Device = Drive-1 Changer Command = "/usr/libexec/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d" Changer Device = /dev/sg5 } # # A Linux or Solaris LTO-2 tape drive # Device { Name = Drive-1 Media Type = LTO-2 Archive Device = /dev/nst0 AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it AlwaysOpen = yes; RemovableMedia = yes; RandomAccess = no; Maximum File Size = 3GB # Changer Command = "/usr/libexec/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d" # Changer Device = /dev/sg0 AutoChanger = yes # Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded # Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'" # If you have smartctl, enable this, it has more info than tapeinfo Alert Command = "sh -c 'smartctl -H -l error %c'" } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download new Adobe(R) Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 The new Adobe(R) Flex(R) 4 and Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 (formerly Flex(R) Builder(TM)) enable the development of rich applications that run across multiple browsers and platforms.
