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 ;) )
... which indicates a problem if it's really an eror and only an
informational message.
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 )
Please take a moment to look at my included config files now..
Nah, I didn't do that... sorry. But I think I can give you some advice.
Here are some output pieces to show the 'virgin" status of the system.
Bacula etc ]# btape -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf TapeStorage
Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes.
btape: butil.c:258 Using device: "TapeStorage" for writing.
btape: btape.c:335 open_dev /dev/nst0 OK
*label
Enter Volume Name: Tape1
Wrote Volume label for volume "Tape1".
Don't forget to remove that label again. And, of course, this doesn't
show us a lot about the status of your system.
Have you run the tests suggested in the manual?

Hmm, no clients defined? How did you get a job scheduled?
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,
Re-read the manual. Add doesn't label a tape.
and to insert a tape with another
name.. But it should just automatically overwrite the existing ones.. :$
Again, the fine manual - Bacula doesn't overwrite labeled tapes.
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$Year" ), so it'll
nag again that i don't have the correct named tape present, and to insert
it... :$
If I understand your setup, you will only need to label tapes in one
pool automatically. The other ones, for the weekdays, will always keep
their names.
Note that in your situation I would not use automatic labeling. Two
reasons: You need to label a tape only when you swap tapes, i.e. you
have to go to the backup host anyway (or log into it). You have to
unmount the tape, remove it, insert a new one, and mount that one. Then
you could also issue the label command manually. Reason number two:
Automatic tape labeling is definitely too complicated to setup (in my
opinion). The LabelFormat alone... and doing tape labeling automatically
will, as far as I know, only work with barcodes, and you will hardly
have barcodes with your desired format...
What I would - perhaps - do to make tape management easier: Create a
script that ejects the used sunday tape and informs bacula of this. Run
this script after the sunday backup.
Create another script that looks for a new tape, and lets bacula label
it. If it can't find a new tape, send a reminder to the operator. If the
new tape for the week has already been labeled, do nothing. Let this
script run as a cronjob monday to friday. Thursday and Friday, send the
reminder to the operators superior, too :-)
Thanks a lot for clearing this out for me :$
I hope this helps.
Arno
Thanks in advance!
