You can also try to change the status of the volume from the console and then relabel it. That is what i did; worked fine ;-) Andrei On Fri, 2005-06-24 at 17:19 +1000, Jesus Salvo Jr. wrote: I presume I cannot use the relabel command within the console to relable a volume that has a status of

Hi, If i understand the manual correctly, i need to write RunBefore/RunAfter scripts to mount/unmount the tapes automatically. I wrote two scripts to mount the tape before backup starts and to unmount and eject it after backup finishes. Both are run as RunBefore/RunAfter scripts in the aprop.

Frank, sorry, but that's not exactly right, everybody in group operator has tape access: crw-rw 1 root operator 229, 1 Jun 23 01:41 /dev/nsa0.0 user bacula is in group operator and bacula-sd runs as bacula:operator. bacula-dir runs as bacula:bacula. Therefore there is no need to run

The winbacula FD is running fine on one of my two XP SP2 workstations. But on the other workstation at first glance everything looks OK; the cassette icon is there and shows a normal, idle status. But the Director can't connect to this FD. It turns out the FD didn't actually start correctly, but
