Thanks to all for the tips on spanning tapes/drives. I have attempted to
implement Mario Wolff's solution (archives, Jan. 28 & 29). Bacula loads, but
can't recognize the multitape drive. Here are the critical sections:
bacula-sd.conf
.
.
.
# Multi-tape drive
Device {
Name = Multitape
Media Type = VXA-1
Archive Device = /dev/tape
AutomaticMount = yes;
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/multitape-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/null
AutoChanger = yes
Alert Command = "sh -c "bin/true""
}
.
.
.
bacula-dir.conf
.
.
.
# Definition of "Multitape" storage device
Storage {
Name = Multitape
Address = 10.1.0.17
SDPort = 9103
Device = Multitape
Password = ""
Autochanger = yes
Media Type = VXA-1
}
.
.
.
/etc/bacula/scripts/multitape-changer
.
.
.
LABELDIR=/etc/bacula/tapelabel # where to find labelfiles
NULLDEVICE=/dev/null # if unmount link to this
SLOT01=/dev/nst1
SLOT02=/dev/nst2
One of Mario's messages says this:
-don't use your tape drives directly anymore! SD does not know that /dev/tape
is /dev/nst0 [in my case /dev/nst1] and would look!
When I try to mount to Multitape, I get this error from Bacula:
Failed to connect to Storage daemon.
You have messages
*messages

authenticate.c:92 Unable to authenticate with Storage daemon. Possible causes:
Passwords or names not the same or
Maximum Concurrent Jobs exceeded on the SD or
SD networking messed up (restart daemon).
Please see http://www.bacula.org/html-manual/faq.html#AuthorizationErrors for
help.
I am way out of my league with this stuff. If this is going to require a lot of
hammering and tinkering, I will understand if it is deemed not worth the effort
by others on this list.
Still, I am having a lot of fun.
