Hi All,
Im hoping that Im not asking a very silly question but Im sure the answer is
going to be obvious and Im just working on this too late at night without a
clear head.
Im quite new to bacula and am having problems with the configuration.
I am trying to use the btape utility to test out my out-of-the-box FileStorage
configuration within bacula-sd.conf.
Device {
Name = FileStorage
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /tmp
LabelMedia = yes
Random Access = yes
AutomaticMount = yes
RemovableMedia = no
AlwaysOpen = no
}
when I run btape FileStorage I get the following error message....
btape FileStorage
Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes.
btape: butil.c 258 Using device: "FileStorage" for writing.
22-Oct 02:16 btape: Fatal error at btape.c:329 because:
dev open failed: Could not open file device /tmp. No Volume name given.
I have checked and double checked the amount of available disk and permissions
on /tmp and all looks good.
Out of desperation I started up the bacula server and kicked off bconsole to
run status on media but that presents the error:
Archive "FileStorage" is not open or does not exist.
I have also tried changing the config to point to other random directories
with no success.
I have pointed the config at a DDS-4 drive that I have and btape does work
perfectly with that but I do want to dump backup data to disk as well as
tape.
Ive compiled 1.36.3 with --prefix=/usr/local/bacula --with-mysql on a redhat 9
box with a 2.4.20 kernel. It was the only box I had left with enough power
cables left to hook up the internal DDS drive.
I tried to compile 1.36.2 instead but experienced the same problems. I have
been through the ./configure options but cant really see anything that would
ring a bell.
Google has turned up nothing useful except for someones reference to writing
to DVDs which doesnt seem quite relevant and I couldnt find anything in this
lists archives.
Can someone please help?
Carl
