[Bacula-users] BACULA: free space on tape
Hello @all, I've purged a volume and appended a new back up to the tape. Is there a way to find out the free space on a tape to be shure that a reorg of a tap has be done successfully?! +-- |This was sent by mulle...@gmx.de via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- -- Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know.

There is no way to know how much space is left on a tape (unless you have compression disabled--and then probably only approximately), however, you can see how much data Bacula believes is on the tape--if that is relatively consistent with how large your backup was, then you know that is the only thing on the tape. From bconsole, list media will display lots of information--look at the VolBytes field to see how much data is stored on the tape. Note that VolFiles are tape files--not your files, unless configured otherwise bacula will put a end-of-file mark on the tape every gigabyte (IIRC) and at the end of every backup that doesn't end on a gigabyte boundary for faster positioning during restore. -- Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know.
