[Bacula-users] Anyone using Solaris as a Bacula SD with a tape library?

[Bill Arlofski via Bacula-users]

If yes, and you have a few minutes, I'd really like to have a general 
discussion about this topic.

I have written a new mtx-changer-python.py script as a "drop-in" replacement 
for the current mtx-changer bash/perl script -
with some additional features like much better logging capabilities, and the 
ability to auto-clean tape drives which require
cleaning.

The script is 99.99% ready, with full support for Linux and FreeBSD, but I have 
too many open questions about Solaris to be
able to release this "as-is" and be able to call it a drop-in replacement.

Last night was the first time I have touched Solaris since 2001, so to say I am 
rusty would be an understatement. :)

Please email me directly off the list if you have such an environment and a few 
minutes to talk with me about this. I guess
email exchanges are OK too if talking is not your thing. :)


Thank you,
Bill

We configured Transfer Priority = "Low" so we expected it to use the Bulk transfer tier - see

initiating the Glacier restore?  Or is that config (Transfer Priority) not what we thought?


Hello Samantha,

As far as I know, only the S3 plugin has been ported from the Enterprise 
edition to the Community edition.

In the Enterprise edition, there is an additional 'Glacier' plugin which automatically handles these transfers from Glacier 
back to the S3 bucket.


I have a strong feeling this is the issue you are experiencing here.


Best regards,
Bill

We're running Bacula v13.0.1.  Some of our backups are to S3 which then go
to Glacier after a set period of time.  When doing restores from S3, the
necessary file is downloaded automatically from S3 but, if it involves
Glacier, it appears that no attempt is made to retrieve the file. Bacula
just sits waiting for the part file, so we have to actually manually
initiate the retrieval from Glacier and then Bacula continues once the part
file has appeared in S3.
