Hello Bacula Users! I am trying to get Bacula running. I have it working using disk. I just need it to use my tape drive. I am using Linux CentOS 7 (on Dell 720) and a Dell DL4000 tape library.
P.S. Note the "Alert Command" setting (as I always get those 50/50 chances wrong). ERROR: 03-Sep 11:21 bacula-sd JobId 13: Job DL4000.2014-09-03_11.21.39_05 is waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes. Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for: Storage: "Drive1" (/dev/nst0) Pool: Default Media type: LTO-6-Drive CONFIG: [bacula-dir.conf] # Definition of DDS tape storage device Storage { Name = DL4000 # Do not use "localhost" here Address = [my FQDN here - RAT] # N.B.
