I'm a little stumped about this one. The only thing I've changed
recently (and we're talking a couple of weeks ago) is the way I deal
with incremental backup media. I had previously been closing the tape
device after each backup, but really, when a tape is used all week, this
is unnecessary and bad for the drive. So I am currently running like this:
Device {
Name = helios_DDS #
Media Type = DDS-4
Archive Device = /dev/rmt/0cbn
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
Volume Poll Interval = 30 minutes;
Close on Poll = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
Spool Directory = /usr/local/bacula/var/spool;
}
I'm not sure that any of these are a problem (though I suppose it's
possible that I should not have Close on Poll in here or Volume Poll
Interval). I believe the change I made was "AlwaysOpen", which had been
"No." As far as tape changes, I do the following:
1 8 * * 1 echo "umount storage=helios_DDS" |
/usr/local/bacula/sbin/bconsole -c /usr/local/bacula/etc/bconsole.conf
....to make sure that the tape is removable when my staff need to remove
it, sometime before Monday night.
However, this is where I've ended up the last two Monday nights:

....I don't know what "waiting" means in this context, or what I'm
supposed to do to free up this situation (short of stopping Bacula or
cancelling the jobs). Is there any way to bust up the log-jam here, or
am I hosed? How can I avoid this mess in the future.
