Seems like Bacula couldn't label the volume on your remote storage daemon and it is now waiting for the device to become available. Please, check the ownership and permissions of the directory you have prepared for storing of Bacula file volumes (on the remote storage daemon server). Also, check the configuration of the device(s) on the remote storage daemon and don't forget to restart the storage daemon if you make changes to its configuration. -- Josip Deanovic _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
