Re: [Bacula-users] Please help me volume status showing full

[david robert]

thanks for your help i don't think it is over riding any job below one is my job definition

 

Job {
        Name = "Nightlybackup"
        Type = Backup
        Client = bacman-fd
        FileSet = "Full Set"
        Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
        Storage = DLT
        Messages = Standard
        Pool = Default
        Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/NightlySave1.bsr"
       RunBeforeJob  = "/etc/bacula/start_of_backup.sh"
        Max Start Delay = 15h

I do not think that you have a problem with your setup.

As indicated earlier in this thread, the SD receives a tape write error
and thus concludes the tape is full.

To understand why this error is generated you need to leave bacula and
the btape test procedure. btapes fill command might be worth a try, also
observing the system log du ring tape operations, and you could try to
test the tapes using dd or tar.

I can't do more than giving you these hints - the other option would be
to buy a pre-configured Bacula system from me, in which case I
definitely could do more for you...
