I'm using Bacula to backup files to USB hard drives.
Every Monday morning I manually run a full backup to a large hard drive,
then every evening Bacula runs incremental backups to another drive. At
the moment I manually swap the two drives so there's only one Storage
device that Bacula sees (I can't figure out how to make bacula use two
storage devices for the same pool).
The system works fairly well, however sometimes I get the dreaded
"Cannot find any appendable volumes" and all backups stop. I don't know
why this sometimes happens and was hoping someone could enlighten me.
Further info is below.
Error:
*messages
