I just noticed in the configuration example below that "Autochanger = yes" is missing from bacula-dir.conf.
When I first set up Bacula a while ago I had problems with that as soon as I tried to label tapes -- it didn't ask me for a slot number, because the director didn't know it was dealing with an autochanger despite the fact that I had specified it in bacula-sd.conf. It has to be in both bacula-sd.conf and bacula-dir.conf. As long as you have Autochanger = yes in BOTH locations, Bacula handles barcodes automatically through the mtx-changer script, and you can label your tapes accoding to their barcodes using the "label barcodes" command. Hope that helps! -Ryan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Carles Bou Sent: Friday, July 01, 2005 8:43 AM To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Bacula-users] Re: Supperted autochanger Hi, Romain.
