[Bacula-users] BU 2 tape does not see newly labeled tape
Hey Gang,
I'm going to rephrase my question about my difficulty backing up to tape.
Given the following volume listing from bconsole and my bacula-dir.conf file,
will the backup to tape occur when required or will Bacula (v.2.2.5) again ask
for appendable media in the WeeklyPool?

Basically if you use the unmount command it unmounts the tape and removes it from bacula's access so that you can use the tape drive with a different utility. As a result of that when you put a new tape in bacula will not automatically load the tape until the user issues a mount command in bacula. With the release command the tape is ejected but bacula retains full control of the drive so that after inserting a new tape bacula will automatically mount it if you have automount configured in your conf files. If this is not you issue please tell me and I will try to look at your conf files. John - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Bacula-users] BU 2 tape does not see newly labeled tape
Thank you for your time John. I tend to use the (grey beard) umount command with bconsole. I know it un-mounts the tape and is ready to accept a new tape for labeling or such tasks. It didn't make sense to 'release' a tape (volume) especially if the backup is going to span multiple cartridges. Let me be clear what I intend to happen: Friday -Wednesday are Diff's to hard drive volumes, Thursday full backup to tape(s). Thursday tapes go off-site. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ David Gardner email: djgardner(at)yahoo.com Yahoo!

I think it will ask again. The console message should say exactly what it is asking for. Please post it. __Martin - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Bacula-users] BU 2 tape does not see newly labeled tape
Martin, I was surprised to find the /tmp/BUspool directory no present. All of my jobs from other servers get spooled to there. I cannot tell from the log files or the bash_history files how it got blown away though. (A different issue...) Anyway, the directory has been recreated [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ls -al /tmp total 133170060 drwxrwxrwt 4 root root4096 Nov 21 13:52 . drwxr-xr-x 24 root root4096 Nov 12 14:13 .. drwxrwsrw- 2 bacula root4096 Nov 21 13:52 BUspool <...snip...> /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ David Gardner email: djgardner(at)yahoo.com Yahoo!
