That I switched off already; may have been the cause. I always got
excessive incremental backup sizes, 500 MB while expecting 10-50 MB.
Issue at hand is that I moved a mailbox, then moved it back (original
location) and it's still being backuped. That's not good.

Although this could be because I use the autochanger in an unsupported
way. What I mean is in my bacula-dir.conf I have a device for the
autochanger and devices for each drive instead of just the autochanger
device.

Where do you get this prompt? I have never ever been asked this and I
have had an autochanger at work since 2006 and I used it with bacula
from the start since I was already using bacula for years before I got
the changer..

Thanks for the idea - done, but unfortunately this does not change the

[Bacula-users] Bacula tapes marked FULL too early - VolBytes too low
Hello, First time poster, love the community, been reading it for years but never had an issue worth posting, until today. :) Using Bacula Version: 5.0.1 (24 February 2010). Our brand new LTO3 tapes are filling up too quick. Tapes that normally take 420GB are full at 320GB. This is a major concern for us. Please advise as to what may be causing this? Example: | MediaId | VolumeName | VolStatus | Enabled | VolBytes| VolFiles | VolRetention | Recycle | Slot | InChanger | MediaType | LastWritten | +-++---+-+-+--++-+--+---+---+-+ | 1 | Tape 1 | Full | 1 | 325,470,071,808 | 326 | 31,536,000,000 | 0 |1 | 1 | LTO3 | 2012-11-16 12:26:42 | All our tapes show VolStatus like this, brand new or used only ones (which was 420GB Full) I am sorry I do not know how to make this selection a quote.

[Bacula-users] Use modify time, not access time
Hi, I have a big problem with Bacula and the backup of my Cyrus mail store: it is backing up way too much. When doing incremental it's supposed to look at modify time (which for many mails - one file per e-mail - is months or years past), but it appears to look at the access time instead. Result: yesterday I moved a big mail folder with subfolders, causing the access time but not the modify time of all contents to change, and now Bacula is backing up everything. Looking at the restore function in bconsole, I see the file time given is the access time, not the modify time. When doing `ls -la` I see the original modify time, long time ago. When doing `ls -lu` I see the access time, which is the time these mail boxes were moved (yesterday). And when doing `dir` in `bconsole` the time that I see is the access time; not the modify time! How to stop this unnecessary backup? It's annoying and wasting disk space. Wouter. -- Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.

This works like a charm. When I use the single drives directly (i. e.
through the names "LTO3-0" resp. "LTO3-1", I can see that the last
argument (%d) receives the correct drive index, and this does exactly
what it is supposed to do.
However, no matter what I enter at the prompt "Enter autochanger
drive[0]:", the director will always send a command to access drive
index 0.

Thanks, but this is not a mtx-changer problem - that part works.
It's some problem with the director (or more likely with it's
configuration) that causes it to always use drive index 0 only.

GUIs are virtually useless. Learn tools. They're configurable,
scriptable, automatable, cron-able, interoperable, etc. We don't need
no brain-dead winslurping monolithic claptrap.

I would start by debugging this script: /usr/libexec/bacula/mtx-changer
Make sure it is passing the correct values to the robot.
FYI here is what I wrote up about debugging mtx-changer.

Dear John,

I must be missing something very basic. I can address both drives in
my autoloader directly. But when using the autoloader device, it
always grabs device 0 only, like this:
*mount
The defined Storage resources are:
1: File
2: LTOLIB
3: LTO3-0
4: LTO3-1
5: ltos_temp
6: SLR100-0
7: SLR100-1
8: SLR100-2
9: DDS-3
Select Storage resource (1-9): 2
Connecting to Storage daemon LTOLIB at ltos.denx.de:9103 ...
Enter autochanger drive[0]: 1
Enter autochanger slot: 25
3304 Issuing autochanger "load slot 25, drive 0" command.
3305 Autochanger "load slot 25, drive 0", status is OK.
3001 Mounted Volume: INC000L3
3001 Device ""LTO3-0" (/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35000e11802947001-nst)" is mounted
with Volume "INC000L3"
I select drive 1, but the mount command operates on drive 0 instead.
director - bacula-dir.conf :

}
Any attempt to access storage "LTOLIB" will always go to drive 0 (aka
"LTO3-0" = /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35000e11802947001-nst) only.
What am I missing?
