Unless you really need the automatic fall-over to the next storage, you
can also set up a vchanger. That way you can also control fixed number
of fixed-size volumes. I prefer this approach to dynamicaly created
media files but YMMV.

That said if your volumes and devices are all interchangeable I would configure
the system to all work with them as a single entry.
Generally this means all your disk based volumes are in a single folder (really
not an issue) so the device path all point to the same location.
For disk volumes devices are ‘virtual’ and almost not real but a hold over from
scheduling tape drives and other external media.

Hi,
I have a file-based backup with bareos with mutliple disks to store the files

upto mnt5.
It has used other stores than mnt in the past:
# df -h /var/lib/bareos/storage/mnt*
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/bcrypt 1.4T 1.3T 0 100% /var/lib/bareos/storage/mnt

/dev/mapper/bcrypt4 916G 77M 870G 1% /var/lib/bareos/storage/mnt4
/dev/mapper/bcrypt5 916G 77M 870G 1% /var/lib/bareos/storage/mnt5
However, now it is stuck, trying to put "Differential-0464" onto "mnt", which
is full (as you can see above):
20-Apr 08:02 bareos-sd JobId 869: Warning: stored/mount.cc:274 Open device "mnt"
(/var/lib/bareos/storage/mnt) Volume "Differential-0464" failed: ERR=stored/dev.cc:746
Could not open: /var/lib/bareos/storage/mnt/Differential-0464, ERR=No such file or directory
Where is my error?

Hi,
I restarted the machine which runs the storage daemon and the director (which
aborted all the differential backups). This evening, it scheduled the usual
incremental backups, reused some old volumes and now runs out of incremental
volume space:
20-Apr 21:50 bareos-sd JobId 896: Warning: stored/mount.cc:274 Open device "mnt"
(/var/lib/bareos/storage/mnt) Volume "Incremental-0471" failed: ERR=stored/dev.cc:746
Could not open: /var/lib/bareos/storage/mnt/Incremental-0471, ERR=No such file or directory
I fear, I have done something really simple wrong, because this looks like it
should be a simple setup :-(
Just for sake of completeness, here my
/etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/storage/File.conf:
- ----8<----
Storage {
Name = File
Address = sd.example.com
Password = "secret"
Device = mnt
Device = mnt2
Device = mnt3
Device = mnt4
Device = mnt5
Media Type = File
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
}
- ---->8----
Another question as a workaround: Is it possible to move volumes from one
device to another? If so: how? Can I simply move the file and bareos will
correctly identify it again? Or is there a command in bconsole to do that (I
could not find one)?
regards,
Erich
