Hi everyone,
First post here, bacula newbie...
I'm doing tests here with bacula 1.38.8. I'm testing with 3
workstations in the lab (linux/windows) and a bacula server running the
director and the storage daemons.
Now everything seems to work fine for normal backup, but I'd like to use
the dvd writing feature. If I try to make the backup to dvd, I'm told
to use the label command first, so here's the output of label:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
*label
Using default Catalog name=MyCatalog DB=bacula
The defined Storage resources are:
1: HD
2: DVD
Select Storage resource (1-2): 2
Enter new Volume name: Windows_DVD
Defined Pools:
1: cerebro
2: windows
3: aurora
Select the Pool (1-3): 2
Connecting to Storage daemon DVD at cerebro:9103 ...
Sending label command for Volume "Windows_DVD" Slot 0 ...
3910 Unable to open device "DVD Writer" (/dev/hdd): ERR=There is no
valid media in the device "DVD Writer" (/dev/hdd).
Label command failed for Volume Windows_DVD.
Do not forget to mount the drive!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
and here's the relevent part of bacula-fd.conf, which pretty much the
default config:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Device {
Name = "DVD Writer"
Media Type = DVD
Archive Device = /dev/hdd
LabelMedia = yes;
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
AlwaysOpen = no;
MaximumPartSize = 800M;
RequiresMount = yes;
MountPoint = /media/cdrecorder;
MountCommand = "/bin/mount -t iso9660 -o ro %a %m";
UnmountCommand = "/bin/umount %m";
SpoolDirectory = /backups/tmp;
WritePartCommand = "/etc/bacula/dvd-handler %a write %e %v"
FreeSpaceCommand = "/etc/bacula/dvd-handler %a free"
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now there is a blank dvd in /dev/hdd. WHat should I do? I burn dvds
everday, I know for sure the drive is /dev/hdd. And what about the
MaximumPartSize = 800M? shouldn't it be 4300MB?
Thanks in advance for any help/tips
