Hello,

I have the following in my bacula-sd.conf file. With these directives, the tape ejects after the first is full, and when I put in another, it will automatically poll and remount it after about 5 minutes. Works great!

The important ones are Volume Poll Interval, Automatic Mount, Close on Poll, and Offline On Unmount, maybe Always Open also, I don't remember.

Device {
 Name = VXA1
 Media Type = V6
 Archive Device = /dev/nst0
 Automatic Mount = yes
 Always Open = yes
 Volume Poll Interval = 5 minutes
 Close on Poll = Yes
 Offline On Unmount = Yes
 Removable Media = yes
 Random Access = no
 Label Media = no
 Changer Device = /dev/sg6
 Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"

 Maximum Spool Size = 15000000000
 Spool Directory = "/var/lib/bacula/spool"
}

I have installed and configured, bacula, however, I am having a minor problem. The backup is too large for one tape and so it will have to span tapes. Is there a way to get bacula to eject the tape when it is full and automatically mount the next tape when it is inserted?
