Thanks for your help, your suggestions helped to get me started. I also needed to define within the source pool that is was a read pool for the job. Now I have two different issues, one where I can only write a small amount of data about 2GB of data and then the tape is marked full, the tapes are 3TB tapes. The other is when a larger migration job starts about 5 minutes in it will kill the tape drive taking it offline where the server no longer sees the SCSI devices for autoloader and tape drive. The only way to get it back is to reboot the autoloader/tape drive. Any ideas. Daniel Hicks | 916-999-2711 | DMEA From: Ana Emília M.

I see you are using /dev/sgX and /dev/nstX device names for the autochanger configuration. This is not recommended since they can be modified after server reboots. Please use /dev/tape/by-id values or even udev rules. Also, I noticed you have a pool configured to use "Storage = HP-Overland". To avoid confusion, I would rename your tape library and tape drive resources: bacula-sd.conf Autochanger { Name = " HP-Overland- Autochanger" Device = HP-Overland -Drive-0 Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d" Changer Device = /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-3500110a00093f5f0 } Device { Name = HP-Overland -Drive-0 Drive Index = 0 Media Type = LTO-5 Archive Device = /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-3500110a00093f5f1-nst AutomaticMount = yes; AlwaysOpen = yes; RemovableMedia = yes; RandomAccess = no; AutoChanger = yes; Alert Command = "sh -c 'smartctl -H -l error /dev/sg3'" } The Storage definition in bacula-dir.conf, should use be something like: Storage { Name = HP-Overlan d -TL Device = HP-Overland-Autochanger ... Autochanger = yes } Then your Tape pool should be configured to use the tape library and not the single drive: # Tape pool definition Pool { Name = Tape Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 3 years Storage = HP-Overland-TL } Regarding what you mentioned about the migration job, I would recommend you to have the btape tests successfully run and a successful backup job writing to tape before dealing with a migration job. The "fill" btape test needs a blank tape. You should have it formated before using it with the fill btape test: mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind mt -f /dev/nst0 weof If this does not solve this problem, please let us know the Bacula version you are using.
