This is not likely a bacula questions, but in the chance that it is, or
the experience on this list, I figured I would ask.
We've been using LTO3 tapes with bacula for a few years now. Recently
I've noticed how variable our tape capacity it, ranging from 200-800 Gb.

Your problem is a different Director name in bacula-dir.conf and
bacula-fd.conf of the win7 client. (not a fw, fqdn or max concurent jobs :))
I did not think of that however I have seen and done that at work. Yes
even after having 40+ other working clients...

Not 100% sure, but I think the FDAddress field in -fd.conf should report
he FQDN of the client machine, not its ip address.
It can be an ipaddress or a FQDN either will work. Since I use either
in my client configs...
I believe the problem that the OP needs to let bacula-fd through the
Bacula and bconsole are running happily on my backup server. But not I need
to know how to backup remote clients. Sorry if this is an obvious question
but does anyone know where I can find the docs that tell me how to do this?
What do you mean by remote? Machines that are on the same network
Specifically the tape will probably have been removed without being rewound
first.
We use our tape robots for a variety of functions, ingesting data from
clients, backups and archive cycles. This just has never come up before.
I am confused. You can not remove an LTO tape without rewinding.

John,
that is the confusing part(see bold)
Device Drive_0 (/dev
. Also if you do not want to stop the current job you can issue
unmount in bacula and use btape to read the label to see if it indeed
has a valid label.

The key info here is the BLOCKED on the drive. The tape may be there,
but bacula cannot complete the mount operation. I've had similar
situations. Within bconsole or bat, work with the unmount, release, and
mount commands. It may take a couple of passes to get that BLOCKED
removed.

In the middle of a backup job bacula is asking for a tape it has labeled and

Here's the relevant info

Thanks for your reply. If I add Volume Use Duration = 1 month do I have to
go to update - volume parameters- Pool from resource to get the new
configuration applied to the existing old tapes?
I am not sure if the old tapes would be marked used as a result of
applying the new configuration.
