Greetings!
I'm trying to setup a Bacula to back up a remote
server. I'm going to try and explain my current setup and ultimate goal
;)
What i have now:
* 1 tapedrive, Dell, with LTO-2 tapes, that works
perfectly on my server.
* 1 backup server, Ubuntu 5.10
* Bacula 1.36.3
* 8 LTO-2 tapes in the drive
* My config files, which are attached.
* 1 tape is loaded and present ( otherwise i get I/O errors ;) )
* 1 backup server, Ubuntu 5.10
* Bacula 1.36.3
* 8 LTO-2 tapes in the drive
* My config files, which are attached.
* 1 tape is loaded and present ( otherwise i get I/O errors ;) )
What the eventual outcome should be:
* Daily (Full) backup from monday to sunday, each
day on a new tape.
* On sunday, the tape should be ejected after the backup for off-site storage, and a new one will be placed in the device, which should become the new sunday-tape.
* Picking up the ejected tape, and inserting a new one, should be the only manual tasks ( if possible )
* On sunday, the tape should be ejected after the backup for off-site storage, and a new one will be placed in the device, which should become the new sunday-tape.
* Picking up the ejected tape, and inserting a new one, should be the only manual tasks ( if possible )
Please take a moment to look at my included config
files now..
Here are some output pieces to show the 'virgin"
status of the system.

Now, how do i proceed to automate the tape naming and such? When i created
a volume on bconsole with the add command, then tried to run a backup, it nagged
that the tape had the wrong label, and to insert a tape with another name.. But
it should just automatically overwrite the existing ones.. :$
I don't fully get the naming.. Should i manually give all 8 tapes a name,
and then add them through bconsole with the same names? But the naming i want
them to have is dynamic ( Label Format = "Test-$Day$Month$Year" ), so it'll nag
again that i don't have the correct named tape present, and to insert it...
:$
Thanks a lot for clearing this out for me :$
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
