In an idea world I'd like to run a script after a successful completion.

I now only have one fileset resource for Linux but it still insists on giving me two choices including one I no long have in the config files. Gary Hi Gary, you could brute-force your way into running a restore by doing lots of echos answering bconsole's restore questions like so (from memory): ( echo restore; echo mod ; echo 3; echo ; echo yes) | bconsole of course you'd have to keep track of changing client and fileset index numbers as your dir config changes. You should be able to remove the ghost fileset using mysql and deleting the appropriate table row in your bacula db.

I have 6 tape drives in my changer. I have 4 jobs running, each using a separate tape/drive all in the same pool. I've been manually starting another job which selects one of the free tape drives, but is asking for a tape that is currently in use in drive-0. I have canceled and restarted the job several times, started a different job (it asks for the tape in drive-0), manually mounted an available tape into drive-1, all of which has only resulted in the tape being unmounted from drive-1 and the tape in use in drive-0 being requested. I think it can be said that this is not a race condition. Addendum: I used an unmount command to BLOCK the drive. This seems to have broken the hold as the job selected the remaining open drive to use and the tape that I'd mounted there. Patti Clark Information International Associates, Inc.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula refusing to use existing tape and wants to label a fresh one
Eric,
Here's how you label a tape.
1. Open bconsole
2. Type update slots
3. Select your tape drive
4. It should tell you something like Volume x was not found in
catalog. Slot=xy InChanger set to zero
5. Type label and select your tape drive where the tape is located.
6. Enter the slot number from step #4. IE: Slot=xy. Whatever value xy is.
7. Enter the correct name for the tape. If it's barcoded then the give it
the name of the barcode.
8. Finally, select the pool you want to assign the tape to.
Thanks!

Michael
