Try changing your Maximum Network Buffer size in your bacula-sd config.
Something like
Maximum Network Buffer Size = 262144 #65536
Maximum block size = 262144
Keep in mind that this will make your sd unable to read previous
backups, IIRC.

There's no easy way to do that. You'll want to generate a list of the files

You can either use the previous backup jobs to generate the list, or do a find

Your description is a bit confusing.
Are these tapes all in the same pool? What is the retention period?
Read up on the retention periods for files, jobs, volumes.
Do you do an "update slots" after you remove the tape? Bacula

Hi,
Familiarize yourself with the 'mt', 'tapeinfo', and 'mtx' commands. They are
standard Linux commands for dealing with the tape drives.
Then try out the 'btape' regular and autochanger tests:
http://bacula.org/3.0.x-manuals/en/utility/utility/Volume_Utility_Tools.html#SECTION0029
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.

Hi Joe,
Before dealing with bacula, make sure you understand how to use the
commands 'mt', 'mtx', 'tapeinfo' and then make sure that they are
working correctly. Then see how 'mtx-changer' uses 'mtx' to do its
business.
E.g. try:
cat /proc/scsi/scsi (this will show you the devices, 0,1,2,..)

So I usually check 'list media jobid=X' then '
acula keeps track of it somewhere.
In my case, I re-ran all full backups after changing block size, and

Hi all,
I wanted to follow up to a number of threads we've already had about
Bacula performance with LTO-3 and LTO-4 drives.
The lowest-level way to test the drive performance is to use a utility
provided by the drive manufacturer. For IBM drives, there is a utility
called ITDT.

IIRC, Bacula will refuse to label tapes that already have a Bacula
label on them.
To re-use labeled tapes, I write a quick script to load each tape with
mtx, write an EOF with mt, rewind, load next...
(This will of course destroy the data on the tape.)

Bacula looks at all the file entries in the database for that, so it
depends on the number of files and how fast your db is.

So I am still stuck at ~22MB/s writing to LTO-4 with the default block

Hi all,
Just wanted to chime in about making barcode labels. I'm cheap and I
happen to have some full 8.5"x11" adhesive sheets (Avery #5455) so I
just use GNU barcode and a regular laser printer and then cut the
labels by hand with a nice big paper cutter.

Hi Robin,

OK, at this point, can you issue, in the console:
status dir

It will tell you more.
Make sure you network settings allow the dir to initiate a connection to the fd
and then allow the fd to initiate a connection to the sd.
