Thanks for the hint! I've not clear
I'm playing with my new LTO9 tape drive (Tandberg/IBM one, SAS).
Some year ago, trying to find optimal parameters for an LTO-5 tape drive,
i've found:
options st buffer_kbs=16384
Minimum block size = 0
Maximum blocksize = 256K
Maximum Network Buffer Size = 262144
Maximum File Size =

Something like:

Still there's some things in Bacula that i really dont't understand,
evidently. ;-)
I need to backup a windows box; i need to backup entirely the D: drive and
partially the C: drive. Following documentation and examples, i've wrote:

For example, testing directly the file device:
Device File: "RDXStorage0" (/var/spool/vchanger/CNPVE3RDX/0) is not open.
Slot 3 was last loaded in driv
I've setup a script that umount RDX media for a vchanger-backed up storage
daemons.
The script simply do:
echo "status storage=$STORAGE" | bconsole | grep "^No Jobs running\." >
/dev/null
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "Backup in corso, abortisco l'unmount del RDX."
exit 0
