[Bacula-users] changing the name of a tape?
Hi, I mis-named a disk volume (if that matters) when adding it just now. I had a backup waiting for a new volume, so this volume was grabbed immediately by bacula to start storing the backup (not a problem). Is there a way to rename the volume? I named it '$site-03578' instead if '$site-0358'. I want to take the '7' out of the name. Can I just update the database or must I remove the volume and re-add it manually?

Its easy to rename in the database, but the problem comes from the truth that the volume name is also in the tape label in the beginning of the tape. You need to re-label the tape, or bacula will not accept it when it needs it according to the database. - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

It *should* be possible to do this without removing and re-creating the volume... just change the catalog entry (i.e., name in the Media table) and the file name on disk. Do this when Bacula is not accessing the catalog or even the volume... it would be safest to completely stop Bacula prior to the change, of course. And be sure to have a backup :-) (Although, in this case, just knowing the Volume's ID should be sufficient to undo your changes.)

The only irritating part is the loss of time. I'm in the middle of doing my monthly fulls, so no big deal really. I thought there might be a simple way to fix my mistake. Thanks for the answers.
