[Bacula-users] Does bacula track and or store tape soft errors?

2007-02-24 Thread Rex Wheeler
Does anyone know if bacula keeps track of tape soft errors? (Soft errors being correctable errors that were corrected by the tape drive hardware.) I like to use the number of soft errors as an early warning indicator as to tape failure. I am currently using Veritas Backup Exec and it tracks total

[Bacula-users] Should tapes drives on windows work?

2007-03-26 Thread Rex Wheeler
I tried to get a tape drive working with the storage daemon on Windows without success. Before I bang my head against the wall too much, I wanted to ask if in general this works or not. I realize that the Windows side of stuff is still "experimental". I am running Windows 2003 Server that is up to

[Bacula-users] Is there a way to pool tape drives?

I have 3 stand alone DLT drives (no changers.) I would like to define a backup job that can treat these drives as a "pool" and span across them. Is this possible? The reason I want this is that I have a backup job that will not fit on one tape. I would like to put a tape in each drive and have bac

I have a machine that has two DLT drives. While I can define a job to run on either tape drive, I can not at run time alter an existing job to run on the other tape drive. If I do try to alter the storage location of a job (with the "mod" option of the "run" command), my request to use a different
