The 'status dir' output is a good guess anyway, if I remember correctly. Nevertheless, I would be interested in this information, too.
Right now I need this for one machine, but it is not as critical as your situation. We insert the tape on the next day then, and the backup runs during the day. Not very nice, but I did not find another solution for it.

The backup tool we used so far, was able to display the backup tape which will be used next for a particular pool. This function is absolutely essential for us, because when backup takes place (in the night) its to late to change tapes. Apart from that, some of the tapes are off-site. I found no such function in bacula. But perhaps I missed something? We can't use the "status dir" output, because we manually start (via script) backup jobs. -- Georg ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
