Dear list,
I have had a little trouble which I mostly caused myself. :) It's another
boring tale of I lost my catalog.
(Prologue: I'm backing up to a disk storage (daily) and a tape storage
(weekly). And the physical disk ran full so I tried to purge and
remove volumes (files) there.
Dear list...
I have just replaced my working old DDS-3 streamer with an AIT-1
streamer (dmesg says SDX-300C). First I ran btape AIT and entered
test to check if Bacula is happy with that drive. Everything went well
(only results shown):
-
# btape AIT

Thanks, Arno, for your reply.
