Ok, therefore the label barcode use the barcode to label each tape in the library but it's depends always that it's slot number. If i change the tape position on the slot (example from 22 to 24), i have to do update slots to see bacula the tape change position. But there is a method to use the barcode instead the slot number?

Hi Daniele, If I understand correctly, you're trying to reuse tapes that were already used in Bacula before. But you want to change the label. Whenever I want to reuse a tape that has already been used by Bacula, I erase it first. Then I use it as if it was brand new. E.g. load it and do an mt -f /dev/nst0 weof mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind then label barcodes in bconsole. If the tape was used in this same Bacula installation you will likely have to clean up the related database entries. I haven't done that as I've only reused tapes from other Bacula installs. A 'purge volume' or maybe 'detete volume' should do it, check the manual. Regards, -- Alex Chekholko ch...@pcbi.upenn.edu -- Come build with us!

I do not know a the solution to this problem.
I would however over time recycle/delete the tapes with manual labels
so that you can add proper barcode labels to all your volumes.
An alternative solution is a small modification to the mtx script to
allow mapping of barcode labels to arbitrary volume names. This is
working fine for me:
#
# Map barcode label into a more comprehensive volume name
#
# Input: 2: or 4:ABC123 == Output: 2: resp. 4:K-H-4
#
# Slot: ${line%%:*}, Barcode: ${line##*:}

echo ${line%%:*}:`grep ^${line##*:} /etc/bacula/Barcodes.conf | sed -e

done
}

Re: [Bacula-users] Label barcodes with mixed library
Ian Levesque wrote: Greetings, I installed version 1.38.5 this week and am thus far impressed! Good to hear! With some tweaking, I have it interfacing w/ an ADIC Scalar 100 (50 slots) housing one LTO-1 and one LTO-2 drive. Awesome. I run a Scalar 220 with AIT2 tapes, but LTO can't be too different. I have a few initial questions regarding this solution, and would appreciate any advice: 1. How should I manage the mixture of LTO-1 and LTO-2 tapes in the ADIC with bacula? I set up two pools, one for each media type. I run the label barcodes command to use the ADIC's barcode scanner to add the tapes to the database, but this puts all the tapes in one pool. Is the solution to then manually move the LTO-2 tapes to their respective pool? If so, what's the best method in bacula? Using different pools should be based on the purpose of the pool rather than the type of media in it. However, you might still want to keep them seperated for other reason; its up to you. For example, pools could be separated so that you have a pool for full backups and a pool for incremental/differential backups, that way the incremental/differential tapes can be recycled when the next full backup occurs, or whenever the incremental/differential pool gets low on tapes. Though, if you wanted to keep them in separate pools anyway (for any reason), I would suggest loading only the LTO-1 tapes, running 'label barcodes' to add them to a pool, then swap all of them out with your LTO-2 tape and re-running 'label barcodes' to add them to a different pool. This would probably be the most efficient method, rather than having to add them by hand. 2. I would like to use the LTO-2 drive to write to LTO-1 tapes as well, since the LTO-2 tapes are only used once a month. Is is possible to set up a device to handle more than one media type? A device is only tied to a particular type of media through a job. For example, a job specifies which pool of tapes is used for a backup. Only media from that pool will be used, regardless of their 'type'. Bacula has no concern for the physical 'type' of media, so long as it works in the drive. :) 3. I also have been reading about running simultaneous jobs (in the same pool) on separate drives, which apparently isn't supported yet -- any word on when this will be available? Sorry, I'm no help here. Others might know though. Thanks! Ian --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!

Dear Ryan, et al., Thank you for your response. 1. How should I manage the mixture of LTO-1 and LTO-2 tapes in the ADIC with bacula? I set up two pools, one for each media type. I run the label barcodes command to use the ADIC's barcode scanner to add the tapes to the database, but this puts all the tapes in one pool. Is the solution to then manually move the LTO-2 tapes to their respective pool? If so, what's the best method in bacula? Using different pools should be based on the purpose of the pool rather than the type of media in it. Indeed, which is why the LTO-2 tapes are in another pool - it's for backing up very large filesystems once a month. So, I would think separate pools are in order. I would suggest loading only the LTO-1 tapes, running 'label barcodes' to add them to a pool, then swap all of them out with your LTO-2 tape and re-running 'label barcodes' to add them to a different pool. This would probably be the most efficient method, rather than having to add them by hand. Thanks, this makes sense though I was hoping that there would be a better way to accomplish this. Happen to know if there is there a way to transfer the 5 or so LTO-2 tapes I just added to the wrong pool? 2.

Perhaps the solutions would be to define another file storage device in the director for the LTO-2 drive? But would bacula then utilize the autochanger when spanning volumes? Currently, all standard LTO-1 jobs use the autochanger as their storage device. I really don't want bacula to try to use an LTO-2 tape in the LTO-1 drive.

From bconsole, run update, choose 'volume parameters', pick the pool that has all of the tapes in it, choose the incorrectly assigned tapes (one at a time), and update their pool. 2.

At the moment, I do not believe that bacula has the capability to use multiple drives for 1 job. If you were to use the LTO-2 for full backups and the LTO-1 for Inc/Diffs, you could make sure that only the LTO-2 pool was used on the LTO-2 drive by specifying it as such in the schedule. The Job Overrides subsection in the Schedule section of the manual goes into this in greater detail. Cheers, Ian --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

It seems, that you have tried barcode instead of our barcodes.
When barcode is used, zeroth label is zapped, which seems to be
further ignored. However when barcodes is used, first argument is
zapped, because i = find_arg_keywords() returns an index of found
keyword and not an index of found argument as in find_arg(). As
one of possible solutions, here is my version of somewhat defensive
patch (*ua-argk[find_arg(ua, barcode_keyword[i])] = 0; can be safely
used too):

Should I fill a bug report, or is this sufficient? ;o)
It is always better to file a bug report because it permits users to get
notification of bugs and bug fixes in a more systematic way, and it provides
better tracking of the project's bugs.
I have, however, applied your patch, and will most likely release a 1.38.5 ...
