Hi all,
The multitape saga continues :-). I have the mutitape device set up (2
drives). I have a blank tape in each drive and started a backup. Here is my
pool definition:
# Default pool definition
Pool {
Name = Default
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 365 days # one year
Accept Any Volume = yes # write on any volume in the pool
LabelFormat = "DLTVol"
}
and my device definition:
Device {
Name = multitape #
Media Type = DLT2000
Archive Device = /dev/tape
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
# That"s the magic!!!
Changer Command = "sudo /etc/bacula/scripts/multitape-changer.sh %c %o %S
%a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/null
AutoChanger = yes
# Alert Command = "sh -c "tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat""
# is it needed?
Alert Command = "sh -c '/bin/true'"
LabelMedia = yes
}
It appears that when I started the backup, bacula realized that it needed a
tape, there was a blank available and so bacula created a catalog entry, but
did not label the blank:
12-Jul 17:07 localhost-dir: Start Backup JobId 146,
Job=Office_Root_Without_Home.2005-07-12_16.38.23
12-Jul 17:07 localhost-dir: Created new Volume "DLTVol0019" in catalog.
12-Jul 17:07 localhost-dir: Recycled volume "DLTVol0019"
12-Jul 17:07 localhost-sd: Office_Root_Without_Home.2005-07-12_16.38.23
Warning: Requested Volume "DLTVol0019" on /dev/tape is not a Bacula labeled
Volume, because: ERR=block.c:793 Read zero bytes at 0:0 on device /dev/tape.
12-Jul 17:07 localhost-sd: Please mount Volume "DLTVol0019" on Storage Device
"multitape" for Job Office_Root_Without_Home.2005-07-12_16.38.23
I'm so close! How can I have bacula label the tape and write the backup to
it? Any help is appreciated!
Paul
