Re: [bareos-users] 3999 Device "vchanger-1" not found or could not be opened.

Yeah, I can understand why but even if we put away all the usual cloud 
privacy issues it's completely not feasible for me since I'm setting up 
my home backup system and at home I have only a 10/1Mbps ADSL line.


So imagine uploading few terabytes of data using 1Mbps uplink :-D

That's why I'm thinking about "offlineable" media.

Best regards,

I belive this setup is a bit tricky but it works perfectly for
me. The trick is to have only one job per volume and having
number of jobs limited on SD level to the total sum of devices. I
am not sure but i think it was set that way in order to avoid
having the same volume opened by multiple jobs simultanously.

Hope this can be helpful but feel free to correct me if you find
this configuration to be a total mess.

PS. It is possible that this setup require a helper script in
order to have expired volume files (and jobs) correctly removed.

Thanks for the config but if I'm not mistaken it won't let me do what I 
mainly wanted to achieve with vchanger - it won't let me plug in and out 
external drives. That's the whole point of using vchanger for me so I 
can take one external disk and move it somewhere offline or even

[bareos-users] 3999 Device "vchanger-1" not found or could not be opened.

[Go Away]

Hello.

I'm trying to set up an environment with removable disks managed by vchanger.
I managed to install vchanger, I created the media files but I cannot seem to 
be able to make bareos see my virtual autochanger. And I'm a bit stuck.
Whenever I try to do "update slots" I'm getting the 3999 error.

Relevant parts of my config:

# cat /etc/vchanger/vchanger.conf 
Storage Resource = vchanger-1
User = bareos
Group = bareos
Logfile = /var/log/vchanger/vchanger-1.log
Work Dir = /var/spool/vchanger/vchanger-1
Log Level = 7
Magazine = /srv/backupstor/252f8c87-02bd-4509-aa63-fa2fe8ee105d 
bconsole config = /etc/bareos/bconsole.conf


# cat bareos-sd.d/autochanger/vchanger1 
Autochanger {
Name = vchanger-1
Device = vchanger-1-0
#Changer Command = "/usr/local/bin/vchanger -u bareos -g bareos %c %o %S %a 
%d"
Changer Command = "/usr/local/bin/vchanger %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /etc/vchanger/vchanger.conf
}

# cat bareos-sd.d/device/vchanger1.conf 

Device {
Name = vchanger-1-0
DriveIndex = 0 
Autochanger = yes
Device Type = File
Media Type = Offsite-File
Label Media = no
Random Access = yes
Removable Media = yes
Automatic Mount = yes
Archive Device = /var/spool/vchanger/vchanger-1/0
}

# cat bareos-dir.d/storage/vchanger-1.conf 
Storage {
  Name = vchanger-1-changer
  Address = backup1
  Password = "edited"
  Device = vchanger-1
  Media Type = Offsite-File
  Autochanger = yes
}

# cat bareos-dir.d/pool/Offsite-eSATA.conf 
Pool {
  Name = Offsite-eSATA
  Storage = vchanger-1-changer
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
  Volume Retention = 4 weeks
  Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
  Volume Use Duration = 2 hours
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 42949672960
}

Oh, and btw, if I try to run bareos-sd with high debug level (somewhere above 
500), it segfaults on any command.
I'm using bareos on Raspberry Pi on Raspbian.
