Yes, and you can use it only when you schedule the job. In our case the internal schedule mechanism is too inflexible, so we start backup "manually" via a script. Also we have 3 pools for the backup job for daily, weekly and monthly tapes. The best way would be a new command "show_next_appendable_tape <pool>" for the console. There's already a function find_next_volume_for_append in the code which is also called by the "status dir" command. I suppose it should not be too difficult to implement this functionality as a console command for someone who knows the code structure. I think for most sites it's a major issue to know in advance what tapes bacula wants to use next in a particular pool. -- Georg ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
