Hello Don, If you have correctly configured the tape library with the tape drives, Bacula should be able to automatically load/unload labeled tapes.
You need to label the tapes before using them for backup jobs. The bconsole command to label tapes using barcodes: * label barcodes You can check if you have tapes already labeled: * status slots Also, you will probably need to run btape tests before you put it in production. It will confirm if the tape devices are correctly configured. * /opt/bacula/bin/btape You may find information about how to use btape (most important tests are "test", "fill" and "speed") in the bacula documentation. Hope it helps! Best, Ana On Tue, Feb 14, 2023 at 10:16 PM Don Hammer <d...@sbht.com> wrote: > I am looking for some assistance with my new configuration.
