Hi Steve,
Sorry, my mistake...
There is no problem in having a remote Storage Daemon with your tape
library attached. This is a very usual configuration.
Before having a try with Bacula, I would recommend you to check if mtx and
mt are properly working (please use /dev/tape/by-id names when running
tests).
The error messages seems related to the tape drive and not to the tape
library configuration. So I would try
"/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35000e11164c42001-nst"
for the tape device:
Device {
Name = Drive-1 #
Description = "LT06 inside Dell TL2000 Library"
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = LT06
Archive Device = /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35000e11164c42001-nst
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
SpoolDirectory = "/var/spool/bacula"
MaximumSpoolSize = 485G
Maximum Network Buffer Size = 65536
Offline On Unmount = no
Alert Command = "sh -c 'smartctl -H -l error %c'"
}
You should run btape tests before starting backups as well.
Best regards,
Ana
