Assuming it's not in your hands to remove that stupid disclaimer at the
bottom of your email I'll answer this, despite my earlier rather snappy
comment about that sort of nonsense. You might want to tell your mail
admin that, to get support from me, it might be advisable to make a
support contract with me, though - then, of course, I'll know I'm an
intended recipient of your mail.
And, once you're speaking to that admin, please ask her or him to add
some line breaks to the disclaimer - it's hard to read when I have to
scroll left and right.
Anyway.

Dear all,
I'm using Bacula 1.36.3 and i've got a small problem..
Also, please view this email in Courier font to make it easier to read.
Thanks for your consideration with pasting long lines...
After submitting a job to do a restore on Friday, it asked me to insert tape 000105L2, so I put it in the
library and did "update slots". The restore job didn't kick off like I expected it to. I had to
manually load the tape using the "mtx-changer" script, then type "mount" in bconsole.
So that's one problem.
The other problem is, when the backup kicked off on Friday, this is what
happened.
... snip report and console output...
********Please note, i've removed uneccesary columns*********
Well, unfortunately you didn't send some information I would be very
interested in. (Not quite true, because it's not in that output anyway...)
I suppose that you use different pools in your autochanger, and that the
tapes in question belonged to different pools, and that the tapes
requested are loaded in a slot that was occupied by volumes belonging to
a different pool before.
Too complicated? - Simply read the thread Maria started on Jan 15.
Probably you'll know what I mean, and probably you'll find the solution
to your problem.
The short answer: Manually remove the information regarding autoloader
inventory from the catalog (set InChanger and Slot to 0), load volmes
from only one pool into the autochanger, 'update slots' and continue
work. Make plans to upgrade to 1.38, or make a small patch to your
Bacula source code and re-compile and -install the director.
I don't know why it didn't just change the tape to 000148L2, which is purged
and ready to be used. Instead it asked for one which wasn't in the changer.
Can someone please help? Doing a restore shouldn't throw the backups out of
whack.
Quite true, and usually it doesn't, but I suppose you found one of the
limitations of (up to) 1.36 versions...
Arno
Thanks,
Beren
