[Bacula-users] alldrives plugin and Accurate backup
Hello, I noticed in the documentation that to use a Bacula plugin with Accurate backup, the plugin must be compatible with this type of backup. Anyone know if the alldrives Windows plugin is compatible or not with Accurate backup? >From the docs: "Accurate must not be enabled when backing up with a plugin that is not specially designed to work with Accurate. If you enable it, your restores will probably not work correctly."

[Bacula-users] Bacula BLOCKED waiting for mount
Hello,
We are running Bacula 7.0.5 on CentOS 7.0. This weekend, one of our full
stores blocked waiting on a tape. However I was trying to enjoy the nice
Chicago weather and trying not to think about work, so needless to say our
backup failed.
Starngely, we have another tape that SHOULD be available. Tapes in this
pool are set to recycle after 90 days, and 90 days ago from today is May
4th.
We have a tape that was last written to on March 28. So why would Bacula
block on the unavailable tape? Can I set it to fail and move on if a tape
is not available? I will never be able to satisfy Bacula over the weekend-
I would rather it fail than hold everything up.
Thanks. Here's some Bacula queries; first my client entry from
bacula-dir.conf:
Client {
Name = fscluster2-backup
...
File Retention = 3 months
Job Retention = 3 months
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}
Here's what status jobs says:
Device "HP_LTO-3" (/dev/nst0) is not open.
Device is BLOCKED waiting for mount of volume "EPW681L3",
Pool:Tape
Media type: LTO-3
Drive 0 is not loaded.

...
Used Volume status:
Reserved volume: EPW681L3 on tape device "HP_LTO-3" (/dev/nst0)
Reader=0 writers=1 reserves=0 volinuse=0
But list media shows a volume in the changer which was last written to on
March 28; much older than 90 days. Why didn't Bacula use it?

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula BLOCKED waiting for mount
...Curiously, I marked "EPW681L3" as "Full" status from bconsole, and it
change the next tape to "Recycle" Status. Why is Bacula setting tapes to
"Recycle" status? It never used to do that. The again, I was never on level
7.0.5 before either...

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula BLOCKED waiting for mount
Hello,
Sorry you are having problems. You did a perfect job of supplying
the right information :-)
It looks like for some reason you did not have tape EPW681L3 in the
autochanger the last time you did an "update slots barcodes" so
the slot for that Volume is zero, which means that Bacula will
not try to use it -- even though it is recycled.
Every time you remove or add a tape to the library you must
subsequently manually run "update slots barcodes" so that Bacula
knows what Volumes are in the library.
Best regards,
Kern
