Thanks Arno, the suggestions you made fixed the problem and tapes are now being changed automatically.

Only the definition for the DIR as far as I can tell. The drive indices should be ok, and the rest of the drives setup doesn't need modification. After you did the changes, and in case it doesn't work out, try running the SD with debug output (can be set from the console using the setdebug command) and have a look at the output from 'status storage=Autochanger'. It should list the autochanger setup as seen by the DIR, and also the status of the two drives. And, in case you see the debug output from the SD (which would require a restart of the SD with the -d switch AFAIK) you might find some useful information concerning drive selection there. Hopefully you get that set up soon so you can lean back watching the backup run for the rest of the night :-) Arno > -Andreas > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Arno > Lehmann > Sent: Tuesday, January 24, 2006 2:18 PM > To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Manual intervention needed to change tapes > > > Hello, > > On 1/24/2006 10:09 PM, Andreas Freyvogel wrote: > >>Greetings everyone, >> >>We have recently been having a problem where Bacula is no longer >>automatically changing tapes and it is requiring manual intervention. > > Below > >>is what I see in the logs: >> >> >>24-Jan 12:08 storage: End of Volume "CUZ277" at 64:8114 on device >>"DLT8000-2" (/dev/sa1).
