Hello everyone,

 

We are using Bacula 5.0.1 running on an Ubuntu 10.04 server attached to a
Dell PowerVault TL2000 tape library.  I run differential daily backups
Monday thru Thursday and a full weekly backup on Friday.  I have pools setup
for both the daily and weekly tapes and use the list nextvol command from
bconsole to determine the next tape I should be using.  This works fine for
the daily differential backups because they only use one tape each day.
However, the weekly full backup always takes two tapes.  If I use the list
nextvol command for the full backup it only gives me the next single tape to
use.  

 

Since I place the tapes in the tape library's magazine before I leave each
day I would like to be able to know which two tapes to use for the weekly
full backup.  What I have been doing so far is to place in the library all
the remaining tapes in the full backup pool.  I would prefer for Bacula to
tell me what the next two tapes should be used instead.  Does anyone know
how to accomplish this?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Jack Cobb
