bcopy problems...
So I guess my questions are these:
Is anyone else using bcopy to copy from file volumes to tapes?
If bcopy can't manage things with the autoloader, how can/does it work when you need to copy multiple volumes to multiple tapes? Currently the only way I can see to do this is by copying the file volumes to tape individually, using the method described above. Based on what I've read in the documentation, however, this will cause problems whenever a job bridges the volumes, as I believe the job at the end of the volume would be dropped as incomplete.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Unfortunately, I can't provide any real help.
In my opinion, bcopy was not really meant for job migration from one media to the other. rather, I see it as some sort of a desaster recovery tool where you are glad if something works and live with the problems...
It seems that you are using bacula as a sort of HSM system - that's not (yet) possible, I'd say. Well, job migration has been discussed along with other things and I'd say that it will be implemented in bacula one day, but probably not in the next weeks.
If you only want to have your backups quickly put the data to disk and later onto tape - D2D2T, only to show that I know the proper terms ;-) - a large spool space might be the best solution, although a job is finished only after everything is on tape. In some cases, that might block other jobs from starting.
