The answer kind of depends on how your tape subsystem is connected.
Any device controlled by a Bareos Storage Daemon can be used for
performing NDMP backups so also tapes. With NDMP you just specify
a paired storage which is any native storage of the Bareos storage
daemon. Some installs however have their tape subsystem controlled
via NDMP e.g. also connected to the NetAPP that won't work as we
don't have support for controlling the tape subsystem via NDMP the
Bareos Storage Daemon emulates a NDMP tape subsystem and we control
that via the native Bareos SD protocol.
The library that we imported has support for native NDMP tape support
but the DMA (Data Management Agent) in the Bareos Director has no code
to support it and its not envisioned that adding this missing piece will
happen any time soon as its a lot of work with little payback.
Thanks, that helps. I'm using a Dell ML6000 loader, with two drives,
attached to the bareos host. I've added "PairedStorage = tape" to the
Storage definition for tape.
I don't understand the function of the DMA for the Director.
My DMA configuration in the SD looks like this:
Ndmp {
Name = orlbacula-ndmp-dma
Username = root
Password = password
AuthType = Clear
}
The message I'm getting currently when I try to dump to tape is:
Start NDMP Backup JobId 145585,
Job=NDMP-SMTAPE-boaz4-backup.2014-09-04_15.24.37_03
Using Device "Drive-0" to write.
Fatal error: Illegal protocol 0 for NDMP Job
Error: Director's comm line to SD dropped.
