That's the key issue - Bacula doesn't notify for unmounted devices as it assumes the operator knows what he's doing. Unfortunately, that might well be, but errors still happen... One solution would be a simple monitoring... for example using Nagios, you could monitor for unmounted devices and notify after one hour of not being mounted. Sounds like a fun thing to implement... quite simple, I think. > A migration job started but never sent an email to mount a tape.

No, a feature, but, admittedly, one that can bite ;-) Arno > Thanks > Stephen Carr > -- Arno Lehmann IT-Service Lehmann Sandstr. 6, 49080 Osnabrück www.its-lehmann.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
