I'm trying to get Bacula to backup to my removable SATA hard drive. I
want bacula to manage whether of not the drive is mounted. Thus, I have
the following bacula-sd device area:
Device {
Name = FileStorage
Media Type = RemovableFile
Archive Device = /dev/sdg1
oh oh...
Requires Mount = yes
Mount Point = /mnt/backup1
Mount Command = "/bin/mount /mnt/backup1"
Unmount Command = "/bin/umount /mnt/backup1"
Write Part Command = "/usr/bin/true"
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = yes;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}
However, when I try to label the drive the following hits me:
*label
Using default Catalog name=MyCatalog DB=bacula
Automatically selected Storage: File
Enter new Volume name: Daily001
Defined Pools:
1: Daily
2: Monthly
Select the Pool (1-2): 1
Connecting to Storage daemon File at sophy:9103 ...
Sending label command for Volume "Daily001" Slot 0 ...
3910 Unable to open device "FileStorage" (/dev/sdg1): ERR=The media in
the device "FileStorage" (/dev/sdg1) is not empty, please blank it
before writing anything to it.
Label command failed for Volume Daily001.
Do not forget to mount the drive!!!
So I guess Bacula thinks I'm backing up to a DVD or CD since I'm using
the requires mount = yes option.
What am I doing wrong?
You can't achieve what you want like this.
The requires mount options and related stuff heavily depend on the write
part command program, so first, you'd need a real program that does what
dvd-handler does with DVDs - writing part files to the device, mainly.
Unless you're ready to read through the SD code - especially the parts
regarding DVD writing - and creating a customized write part command
program, what you want to do is not easily possible.
There have been some suggestions as to how effectively use removable
hard disk storage recently, you might want to search the archives for
these. Also, Kern has started thinking about how to handle removable
disks, so it might be that he comes up with something some day.
And, of course, you can always suggest how Bacula should handle this
sort of stuff, and also submit code :-)
