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.
