Hello List, i would like to back up my files to DVD-RAM. I simply format my DVD-RAM with: mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdd and then i should be able to use it.
Here is my "broken" config file: Device { Name = DVD-Storage; # name of device Media Type =DVD-RAM; # type of device Archive Device = /dev/hdd; # device to mount LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media Random Access = Yes; AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it RemovableMedia = yes; # since its DVD-RAM, its removeable AlwaysOpen = no; # always mount/umount #Mount Point = /media/cdrom0; # mount Archive device to /media/cdrom0 } The Error: ------------ 30-Dec 14:40 rt-sd: Client1.2005-12-30_14.40.05 Fatal error: Archive "DVD-Storage" requested by DIR could not be opened or does not exist. 30-Dec 14:40 rt-dir: Client1.2005-12-30_14.40.05 Fatal error: Storage daemon didn't accept Device "DVD-Storage" because: 3925 Device "DVD-Storage" could not be opened or does not exist. I read the DVD-writing manual, but i think DVD-RAM ist just like a hard drive really. No need to run any pre or after jobs. What i am missing in my Device declaration is how bacula knows where to mount the archive device to, in order to actually write to it. I am not surprised that bacula gives me that error, but i dont know how to solve it. Any ideas/tips?
