My one comment is that if you really want to keep this data forever,
then you should *really* be making multiple copies to tape, and then
also re-reading them and comparing them against the master data.
I also think that the biggest time sink will be the finding and
building of the daily tar fi

Here's your problem right there. Reading all the metadata for those

Hi all,
I'm writing an external perl script to query the bacula DB so I can
grab out the list of tapes in the autochanger and do some formating on
the resulting data to make it easier to read.
But what I really want is to be able to:
1. know t he number of slots/drives in the autochanger(s).

Quick update, after pulling down the src.deb file for bacula 1.38.11-3
and doing 'dpkg-buildpackage -d -b' and then installing just the

properly.
So to me it looks to be a complete packaging problem, and not a Bacula
problem. H

I'd disable gzip anyway, let the drive with it's dedicated compression

PCI slots, and not the 33mhz ones.
