Me silly! You are right! I correct it leaving only one tape device named changer0. I've found the thread you are talking about but, it use a configuration like old mine (with one autochanger and three tape device configured in sd.conf). This is the new: bacula-sd.conf AutoChanger { Name = "multitape0" Device = vtape0 Changer Command = "/usr/libexec/bacula/multitape-changer %c %o %S %a %d" Changer Device = /dev/sg0 } Device { Name = vtape0 Drive Index = 0 Media Type = 4mm Archive Device = /dev/changer0 AutomaticMount = yes AlwaysOpen = no RemovableMedia = yes RandomAccess = no AutoChanger = yes LabelMedia = no } and bacula-dir.conf Storage { Name = changer0 Address = 192.168.0.20 SDPort = 9103 Password = "P00io9" Device = multitape0 AutoChanger = yes Media Type = 4mm Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1 } > > [...] > > [...] > > > > 1 - no automatic startup link has done by bacula, I have to link > > /dev/nstx to /dev/changer0 manually > > Sure, Bacula doesn't create device nodes for you. > > > 2 - no automatic change has done by bacula > > So the autochanger setup didn't work. What does btapes test command tell > you? Why not? Using multitape-changer in command line it create the right simlink /dev/changer0 --> /dev/nst1|2|3. If I tell bacula to "update slots" it will virtually change the tapes in the library changing the simlink, and read, one by one, the tapes header. > So the multitape-changer setup is not correct.
