Hi, is it normal, that with autolabeling function (option "Label Format"), a database entry for the tape is created even if no tape has been labeled physically?
We always use new tapes for our monthly backups for archival purposes. I set up an appropriate monthly pool. Last night the monthly backup job failed, because the responsible person has forgotten to place a new tape in the drive: --- 30-Sep 21:00 ercws207-dir: Start Backup JobId 92, Job=StandardSicherung.2005-09-30_21.00.02 30-Sep 21:00 ercws207-dir: Created new Volume "Monat-0003" in catalog. 30-Sep 21:00 ercws207-sd: StandardSicherung.2005-09-30_21.00.02 Warning: Director wanted Volume "Monat-0003". Current Volume "Woche-03" not acceptable because: 1998 Volume "Woche-03" status is Recycle, not in Pool. 30 Sep 21:00 ercws207-sd: Please mount Volume "Monat-0003" on Storage Device "DDS-3" for Job StandardSicherung.2005-09-30_21.00.02. --- To my surprise bacula created a new entry in the database: +---------+------------+-----------+------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+ | MediaId | VolumeName | VolStatus | VolBytes | VolFiles | VolRetention | Recycle | Slot | InChanger | MediaType | LastWritten | +---------+------------+-----------+------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+ | 1 | Monat-0001 | Used | 9250630146 | 10 | 31536000 | 0 | 0 | 0 | DDS-3 | 2005-08-02 02:40:27 | | 10 | Monat-0002 | Used | 9254456768 | 48 | 31536000 | 1 | 0 | 0 | DDS-3 | 2005-09-01 00:35:21 | | 11 | Monat-0003 | Append | 0 | 0 | 31536000 | 1 | 0 | 0 | DDS-3 | 0 | +---------+------------+-----------+------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+ Shouldnt bacula only create entries in the database when labeling was successfull? What can I do now? Bacula thinks that there is a tape Monat-0003. I suppose I have to tweak the database manually (delete Monat-0003). -- Georg ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
