[Bacula-users] newbie to tapes question
Hello, This is a quick question about labeling new tapes Im using RHEL 4 x86_64 with a dell powervault 124T. Bacula is 1.38.11 I've already added (at the same time) 2 tapes to a pool (bacula read the barcodes and use it to label them): This are the current volumes: *list volumes Using default Catalog name=MyCatalog DB=bacula Pool: Default +-++---+-+--+--+-+--+---+---+-+ | MediaId | VolumeName | VolStatus | VolBytes| VolFiles | VolRetention | Recycle | Slot | InChanger | MediaType | LastWritten | +-++---+-+--+--+-+--+---+---+-+ | 8 | testeVol1 | Append| 171,591,154 |0 | 31,536,000 | 1 |0 | 1 | File | 2006-09-04 23:10:04 | +-++---+-+--+--+-+--+---+---+-+ Pool: TapePoolForSERVERS +-++---+-+--+--+-+--+---+---+-+ | MediaId | VolumeName | VolStatus | VolBytes| VolFiles | VolRetention | Recycle | Slot | InChanger | MediaType | LastWritten | +-++---+-+--+--+-+--+---+---+-+ | 11 | 01L3 | Append| 7,651,509,655 |8 | 31,536,000 | 1 |1 | 1 | Ultrium-3 | 2006-08-15 07:30:00 | | 12 | 02L3 | Full | 434,014,408,572 | 437 | 31,536,000 | 1 |2 | 1 | Ultrium-3 | 2006-08-14 22:24:58 | +-++---+-+--+--+-+--+---+---+-+ * Now I want do add a new tape, but I down know exactly how to. If I use the label barcodes , I get the following: *label barcodes Using default Catalog name=MyCatalog DB=bacula The defined Storage resources are: 1: File 2: IBM-Ultrium-3 3: TapeLoader124T Select Storage resource (1-3): 3 Connecting to Storage daemon TapeLoader124T at 10.0.23.17:9103 ... 3306 Issuing autochanger slots command. Device TapeLoader124T has 8 slots. Connecting to Storage daemon TapeLoader124T at 10.0.23.17:9103 ... 3301 Issuing autochanger loaded drive 0 command. 3302 Autochanger loaded drive 0, result: nothing loaded. 3306 Issuing autochanger list command. The following Volumes will be labeled: Slot Volume == 1 01L3 2 02L3 3 03L3 Do you want to continue? (yes|no): I just want to label and add to the pool the tape barcoded as 03L3, not all of them Does any one knows how to do it?

Here they are.

Volume Retention = 365 days # one year
Accept Any Volume = yes # write on any volume in the pool
}
Job {

Messages = Standard
Fileset = FileSetForjtgv
Write Bootstrap = /var/bacula/jtgv-gsi.bsr
Reschedule On Error = yes
Reschedule Interval = 2 minutes
Reschedule Times = 10
}
I've made the changes you suggested. Since I'm testing backup to tape on
a test environment (I was already doing backups to disk for a while),
I've canceled the job, deleted the volumes on bacula, initialized
tapes(rewind, weof...) and now I'll do the same tests again: first
without using a recycled tape, and then use a recycled one.
By the way, I've run a job without adding the volumes to the pool. So,
job status is waiting for an appendable volume. I've added the tapes
to the pool and I think bacula will wake up and search again for an
appendable volume (and this time it will find one).
Is there any way to force the job to retry estead of wainting for it to
wake up and retry itself ?
Once again, thank you for your help.

Because of the speed of LTO3 media, you should always use spooling for
everything - except possibly full backups - otherwise the tape spends
a lot of time shoe-shining
What storage device are you calling in your -dir job{} entries?
What are your bacula-dir storage{} entries?

[Bacula-users] newbie to tapes question
Hi, Im having the following problem. Im tring to do a backup job (named jtgv-gsi) using 2 tapes labeled 01L3 and 02L3(which are added in a pool named TapePoolForSERVERS). When 01L3 go full, bacula asked me 02L3. I think it wasn't supposed to ask me for it since I'm using an auto charger and both tapes were in it. As you can seen below, I do a mount and still bacula is asking me for it. Tape 01L3 is unloaded from the drive and 02L3 is loaded in to the drive. Is it because 02L3 state is Recycle? Who can I force bacula to use it?
