Nice to see your progress! "Device is BLOCKED waiting for media" is probably related to starting a new file, in other words bacula could need your attention if it was a tape. Now that it's a file, you can automate this kind of action by letting the storage do it whenever requested. Add the following to the device and reload. LabelMedia = yes AutomaticMount = yes These should allow bacula to start using a new device without your intervention. For some reason, I did not find the documentation on these. Maybe someone else can point out this. I don't even remember where I found it in the first place. Perhaps among the tips and tricks.
