Umm.. Yes - it's correct. Perhaps some kind of temporary error?

Yes, not so nice, but at least it has given me the time to work out how to 
integrate Python correctly using Oops (classes and such). I'm quite pleased 
about how it is working out.  If all goes well, I'll send a status report on 
Python in about a week to the devel list.

Ooo...not good.  Did they send it trackable (I.e. FedEx, UPS, etc), or are we 
talking freight that has no way of being tracked?

Yes, where I worked before we have one L1100 and one L700. But we didn't 
tested them with Bacula. =(

Ah well. Since it's friday and I'm tired and fed up with
work for today I just got to go and take some pictures of
my own... How about this hardware then:

http://www.ifm.liu.se/~peter/bakis

The robot is a Sun StorEdge L11000 (a badge-engineered ATL P3000)
with 6 DLT7000 (can take up to 14) drives and 326+12 tape slots.

It weights in at around 1300 pounds (591kg) :-)

(The last picture isn't of that robot but of our departmental
backup robot (four Overland Neo 2000 LTO-1 robots stacked together
as one big logical robot).


The L11000 is used by the Lysator ACS (students computer club) here
at Linköping University for the backups. It's controlled by Bacula
and my PJC program that I wrote when I got fed up with the
buggy MTX piece of crap...

Btw, I'm looking for testers of PJC so I can make it work on more
Unix variants (it currently supports Linux and Solaris, but I've only
tested it under Solaris so I'm looking for Linux users willing to test
it).

Included in the PJC distribution is a "pjc-changer" script that can
be used as a replacement for the Bacula-included "mtx-changer" script.

PJC can be downloaded from:

ftp://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/unix/pjc

[Bacula-users] 700 lb tape robot, pictures

2005-04-15 Thread Dan Langille
At last night gathering of some local unix types, the topic of DLT 
came up.  One chap posted this to our local mailing list, which I'm 
forwarding ere:
--- Forwarded message follows ---

We discussed DLT tapes at this evening's meeting.  I mentioned that I 
had a "spare" 700lbs DLT drive -- I was asked to post some pictures :-
)  

http://www.ba23.org/tmp/tl0.jpg
http://www.ba23.org/tmp/tl1.jpg
http://www.ba23.org/tmp/tl2.jpg
http://www.ba23.org/tmp/tl3.jpg

The DEC TL822 DLT automated tape library unit has three TZ88N differental
SCSI tape drives.  I think it uses TZ88/DLTIV tapes.

- is empty -- no tapes
- can hold 264 tapes (20g x 264 = 5.28TB)
- powers up and passes all the self tests
- is 79" tall and 700lbs
