Finally answered my own question (update, and set the max bytes
setting). As for how this happened in the first place, I don't know. I
guess we'll see what happens next go 'round -- this was the only tape
that had gotten like this, so maybe it was a mistake I made early on.

Here I am again with my problem.
I have to dig some more into this problem, also to build
a useful report for this list.
In the meanwhile, I'd like to ask:
is it possible to do a backup on machine "box1"
which is a 32-bit system with bacula file daemon 1.34.3,
and then do a restore on machine "bo

Standalone storage daemons should work, yes. At a glance your configuration
looks ok, though I would specify fqdn for the Address directive. You will
of course need a Director resource for your director in both storage daemon

Changing the names of the daemons solved the problem. Given the strange
behavior, it wouldn't have occurred to me that was the cause but it
makes perfect sense.

If I read this correctly (p 246 of the doc):
Automatic recycling of Volumes is performed by Bacula only when it wants a new Volume and no appendable Volumes are available in the Pool. It will then search the Pool for any Volumes with the Recycle tag set and whose Volume Status is Full.

Correct. Bacula cares not about the name of the file, just when it
expires and is ready for recycli

Hi,
I want to install only the storage daemon on a server. But i can't find any
configure option to enable only this daemon
(like the --enable-client-only option).
The problem is that i can't compile bacula as I don't have
any database server on this machine (and i don't want to install anyone)
I'm not on the devel list.
In terms of "next tapes", what is bacula's order of preference for using
tapes?
Append, then recycle, then purged?
If so, then that part's easy (It's what I'm doing by hand anwyay)
If there aren't enough tapes, you're right, some form of "show pruning
candidates"
Hopefully this info will be helpful to someone.
I'm installing bacula for the first time. I am using version 1.36.3. I have a
HP A4853 DLT Library and a HP DLT7000 drive. I was able to use the changer to
load tapes, get the status, etc, but it would not unload the drive. In this
