I can't seem to get bacula to do a full backup on a FreeBSD 5.4 server with bacula 1.36.3, using a quantum SDLT-II 300/600 GB drive.

The drive when tested with btape passes all the tests fine.

I have the device configured as:
Device {
  Name = SDLT-II
  Description = "SDLT-II for FreeBSD"
  Media Type = SDLT-II
  Archive Device = /dev/nsa0
  AutomaticMount = yes;               # when device opened, read it
  AlwaysOpen = yes
  Offline On Unmount = yes
  Hardware End of Medium = no
  BSF at EOM = yes
  Backward Space Record = no
  Backward Space File = no
  Fast Forward Space File = no
  TWO EOF = yes
}

This is a single internal drive with no changer. The drive works with tar and there's about 100 GB of data that should backup, and does fine with tar. When I try to use bacula it stops at about 250MB.

I want bacula to, if possible, auto-label the tapes and auto-overwrite the entire tape.

Are there some settings I have to make to tell bacula the tape size? I would think it would get that from the drive itself.

What settings do I need to change to have it do a full backup on the tape, overwriting anything on the tape?

If these questions are in the docs, please point me to them. I have poured over the user guide, but have been trying for a week to get this to work.

Thanks.
