Something to possibly get you started: you can't use the device definition listed like it is, as the autochanger related stuff now goes in its own section of the config file. If you've already taken care of this, forgive me -- if not, you need to adapt that to the current syntax. - -- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer III |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGQnWmmb+gadEcsb4RAtYFAKCKVp5ZE2cYMR76gcQkTqdj1hfWHgCgmL31 8Qkbsc9J87NxQTrMhuvvPjQ= =4vIZ -END PGP SIGNATURE- begin:vcard fn:Ryan Novosielski n:Novosielski;Ryan org:UMDNJ;IST/AST adr;dom:MSB C630;;185 South Orange Avenue;Newark;NJ;07103 email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Systems Programmer III tel;work:(973) 972-0922 tel;fax:(973) 972-7412 tel;pager:(866) 20-UMDNJ x-mozilla-html:FALSE version:2.1 end:vcard - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

[Bacula-users] Total Automation of Bacula Tape Handling
Hi, We are using Bacula in our organisation. (Single tapedrive/no autochanger) I am currently changing the tapes myself but want to give other (non IT) persons also the possibility to do this job. When they receive an email they should insert a new tape and bacula has to continue with the job. It should be fool proof (eg when someone inserts a wrong tape it should unmount the tape and send an email again). This should be possible with the script described in the documentation: http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Tips_Suggestions.html#SECTION003816 Unfortunately the script seems not be updated for a long time and doesn't want to play nicely with our tape drive. Should I try fixing the script (i already found some of the problems in it) or is there a better solution? I thought about writing a script (executed by cron every x minutes) that checks if it should do something depending of the output of status storage and the messages output. Any ideas ?

[Bacula-users] Total Automation of Bacula Tape Handling (Renewed)
Hello, I'm trying to automate Bacula's tape handling for our operators who are not technicians. Is there anyone out there, who is experienced in this topic and could you please give some hints concerning this...? Basic situation: (New) supermicro-server with an HP Dat 72i drive, that is DDS-5. So that should be all fine. OS is SUSE 10.0. Bacula version is 1.38.5 (self-compiled) on a mysql 4.1.13 (rpm out of distribution). Already have test-configs written and test-jobs driven: All fine. Automation advance: My approach so far to automate tape handling was to handle my drive as an autochanger, following instructions given in the Total Automation of Bacula Tape Handling chapter. This uses the mtx-changer script by Alexander Kuehn, which comes with the tarballs. Now, before I go in the details, my first question is whether this technique is still up to date, or is there any more elegant solution meanwhile? Kind Regards, i. A. Christoff Buch = [EMAIL PROTECTED] OneVision Software AG Dr.-Leo-Ritter-Str. 9 93049 Regensburg Hi, I'm asking this, because I'm experiencing problems with it: Tape ejects but after inserting the next one, it isn't automatically mounted Does anyone know about this??? Would be very thankful for an answer...!
