Yes, in 1.38 a device type of File (not connected with the media type) will not mount/unmount file systems. It is probably possible to get it working either using udev or RunBefore/AfterJob scripting, but this is a bit kludgy. In version 1.39.x Bacula has more features for dealing with removable devices. Here are the notes from the ReleaseNotes for beta 1.39.22 to be released in the next day or two: - Additional support for removable devices. See the Requires Mount, Mount Point, Mount Command, and Unmount Commands in the Storage daemon configuration chapter: http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Storage_Daemon_Configuratio.html Also see the Edit Codes for Mount and Unmount Directives in the same chapter. > > -- > Frederik > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Using Tomcat but need to do more?
