Hello,

I use Bacula with data spooling and I have changed my Bacula SD config
file like this :
Device {
   Name = HP_DAT72
   Media Type = DDS-72
   Archive Device = /dev/nst0
   AutomaticMount = yes;
   AlwaysOpen = yes;
   RemovableMedia = yes;
   RandomAccess = no;

   VolumePollInterval = 60
   OfflineOnUnmount = yes
   CloseOnPoll = yes

   # For the data spooling
   Maximum Spool Size = 15gb
   Maximum Job Spool Size = 10gb
   Spool Directory = /srv/bacula/spool/HP_DAT72
}

And the "SpoolData = yes" in the job directive.

Do not forget to have the spool directory writable for the bacula-sd
process or your backup will fail.

If the spooling is done before writing to tape, it is written in the
Bacula logs.
