Well, I've partially solved my own problem but don't know how to get
Bacula to do it automatically.
The working sequence of load and eject is as follows:
mtx -f /dev/sg0 load 1
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind (OR WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING)
mt -f /dev/nst0 offline
mtx -f /dev/sh0 unload 1
The catch
Hopefully this info will be helpful to someone.
I'm installing bacula for the first time. I am using version 1.36.3. I have a
HP A4853 DLT Library and a HP DLT7000 drive. I was able to use the changer to
load tapes, get the status, etc, but it would not unload the drive. In this
situation,
I'm not on the devel list.
In terms of next tapes, what is bacula's order of preference for using
tapes?
Append, then recycle, then purged?
If so, then that part's easy (It's what I'm doing by hand anwyay)
If there aren't enough tapes, you're right, some form of show pruning

Hi,
I want to install only the storage daemon on a server. But i can't find any
configure option to enable only this daemon

my question now is :

because i have no testing_server with this architecture, i would like to

Hi,
I'm using bacula 1.37.30 for a few days now and I

I discovered that the building the directory tree

I started the building of the tree at 11:20 and at

Hi,
i am about to setup a bacula system (actually its allready running) to
backup several server systems. while thinking about real desasters like

current configuration. so started thinking about another concept and i
Is there a variable that counts the week of the month? I can't use a manual
counter because it will get thrown off when there are 5 weeks in a month.
Can I somehow code it myself? That is my whole problem with my numbering
scheme. :(

If I read this correctly (p 246 of the doc):
Automatic recycling of Volumes is performed by Bacula only when it wants a new Volume and no appendable Volumes are available in the Pool. It will then search the Pool for any Volumes with the Recycle tag set and whose Volume Status is Full.

Standalone storage daemons should work, yes. At a glance your configuration
looks ok, though I would specify fqdn for the Address directive. You will
of course need a Director resource for your director in both storage daemon
configs.

Thanks Kern,
Changing the names of the daemons solved the problem. Given the strange
behavior, it wouldn't have occurred to me that was the cause but it
makes perfect sense.
Thanks for the feedback. It is always nice to have a confirmation.
