Hello, You did not mention whether or not you are using Bacula.  For Bacula there is no license blockage.  Often writing of older LTO formats (e.g. writing LTO-3 on an LTO-5) drive is not supported by the drive manufacturer.  In your case, I suspect

Hello, One other point about this. Semi-automatic detection of backing up files multiple times could be done with the estimate bconsole command turning on listing, then processing the output through sort and looking for duplicates. Perhaps an interesting "feature" might be to add another opt

Hello, Yes, Bacula could become much smarter about this, but it requires two things: 1. Bacula will require *significantly* more resources (CPU and memory) to do such a backup. 2. You would need to find a programmer interested in writing the necessary code -- it is not a monster project, but i

Hello Martin, This is an interesting reflection.  Do you think it is a timeout, or an out and out bug where Bacula gets confused with additional communications?   A bug would be a bit hard to understand, because the SD often waits for a Volume to be mounted -- of course, there can certainly be bug

Hello, If you are doing any kind of "copy" of data (Migration, Copy, VirtualFull, ...), it seems to me to be obvious, but perhaps I am mistaken, you need two different Storage daemon device definitions -- one to read a Volume, and one to write to a different Volume.
