Hi Andrew, hi Phil,
I have had a similar problem with making a backup spanning mutiple drives (no
autochanger, so I need to change the tapes by hand). I Have set "some" options
to circumvent it. I didn't do to much research, which one was the critical one,
but maybe that might help you out:
my configuration for the LTO-storage looks like this:
Device {
Name = LTO-5
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
Device Type = Tape
Media Type = LTO-5
LabelMedia = yes
Random Access = no
AutomaticMount = yes
RemovableMedia = yes
AlwaysOpen = yes
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
LabelMedia = yes
Maximum File Size = 400G
Maximum Changer Wait = 2h
Volume Poll Interval = 0
}
In the job-definitions (bacula-dir.conf), I added the option "Max Wait Time":
Job {
Name = "XYZ LTO-5"
Client = XXX
JobDefs = DefaultJob
FileSet = "ZZZ"
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/XXX-ZZZ.bsr"
Priority = 31
Storage = LTO-5HH
Pool = LTO-5HH-Pool
Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
Max Wait Time = 5d
}
I hope this does the trick for you, too.
Best,
Christian

Try pulling down the latest git version of bacula 9.0.x .. I pulled it
down and so far it politely asked for the next tape and patiently waited
for it to be loaded.
