Hi,I have installed Bacula 1.36.2 on Debian Sarge dealing with an LTO2 drive. I have 7 Jobs to run each night and I ant to change the tape after each full backup that occurs each night. I use this option in order to mark the tape as "Used" when the backup is finished : Maximum Volume Jobs = 7 But, when I insert a new tape, I have to mount the tape so that the next backup can run. Is it possible to have a fully automatic configuration in order to avoid the need to explicitly mount the tape through bconsole ? Extract from bacula-sd.conf : ** Device { Name = LTO2 Media Type = LTO2 Archive Device = /dev/nst0 AutomaticMount = yes; AlwaysOpen = yes; RemovableMedia = yes; RandomAccess = no; } ** Thanks in advance, Sébastienhi its easy. make an admin job that runs first(priority). in this admin job write this: RunBeforeJob = "/etc/bacula/before_backup" in "/etc/bacula/before_backup"(make executable) write this: #! /bin/sh bconsole -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf <<END_OF_DATA @output /dev/null mount storage="LTO-G2" quit END_OF_DATA exit 0 #EOF or u can insert RunBeforeJob = "/etc/bacula/before_backup" in you first backup-job.
It works ! Thanks again, Sébastien ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
