Hello,
I have started using Bacula a few weeks ago and I must say that it is
really impressive.
At the moment, I'm trying to implement a rather simple setup. I want
to do a daily backup on a single computer using a tape drive. The
backup strategy is simple: always overwrite the currently inserted
tape.
Unfortunately I have some difficulties when trying to implement this
strategy:
1. The storage daemon asks for a specific tape, even though "Accept
any Volume" is enabled.
| 24-Jun 02:00 datenserver-sd: Please mount Volume "Vol-0004" on
| Storage Device "Tape" for Job Client1.2005-06-24_02.00.00
2. When I insert a new tape, Bacula does not label it automatically.
3. When I insert a tape with an existing backup on it, Bacula tries to
append data to it, no matter how short the retention period is.
Could you help me to find out what I'm doing wrong here? I'm sending
you the relevant parts my configuration.

Recycle Current Volume = yes
Label Format = "Vol-"
}

Media Type = DDS-3
Archive Device = /dev/st0
