I now have an HP 72x6 dat external tape drive that I would like to use. I am kind of lost on how to configure bacula you use a tape drive. I know the device is dev/st0, but not to sure were to go from there.
There are some example tape configs in the default bacula-sd.conf. Note also that Bacula should use /dev/nst0, not /dev/st0. I suggest you run the tape tests described here: http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/problems/problems/Testing_Your_Tape_Drive.html __Martin I have ran the tape tests described, they all worked. My problem was more with the autochager. Once I figured out that in the bacula-dir.conf under autochanger not to specify the device, rather than just setup autochanger in the bacula-sd.conf and reference it that way. It is working now. Also I tried /dev/nst0 which failed the tape tests, but /dev/st0 worked. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by trizzo...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benefiting from Server Virtualization: Beyond Initial Workload Consolidation -- Increasing the use of server virtualization is a top priority.Virtualization can reduce costs, simplify management, and improve application availability and disaster protection.
