I'm currently refering to the section tips and sugestions/Total
Automation of Bacula Tape Handling.
I would like to have exactly this but since script and sample entries
are from 2003 they don't fit anymore.
I added an autochanger device and modified various parts of the script,
but currently it doesn't work.
Maybe somebody has already done it, and can provide me his script?
Or can this feature be done with plain bacula without that autochanger
hack? :-)
Anyway If you have ideas how this could be done, mail me back.
thanks,
regards,
Dennis

This tip was provided by Alexander Kuehn.
Bacula <http://www.bacula.org/> is a really nice backup program except
that the manual tape changing requires user interaction with the bacula
console.
Fortunately I can fix this. NOTE!!! This suggestion applies for people
who do *NOT* have tape autochangers and must change tapes manually.!!!!!
Bacula supports a variety of tape changers through the use of
mtx-changer scripts/programs. This highly flexible approach allowed me
to create this shell script
<http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Tips_Suggestions.html#mtx-changer.txt>
which does the following: Whenever a new tape is required it sends a
mail to the operator to insert the new tape. Then it waits until a tape
has been inserted, sends a mail again to say thank you and let's bacula
continue it's backup. So you can schedule and run backups without ever
having to log on or see the console. To make the whole thing work you
need to create a Device resource which looks something like this
("Archive Device", "Maximum Changer Wait", "Media Type" and "Label
media" may have different values):
