I have a Quantum Superloader3 LTO-3 jukebox with one magazine (eight slots) and one drive. I have been backing our servers up to it successfully, after much tweaking.
My problem is that I don't really want it to continue backing up to one tape until it's full. I am backing up about 100GB / night, and native capacity of an LTO-3 tape is 400GB, up to 800GB with compression. I am not comfortable having that many days worth of data on one tape and would like to be able to tell bacula to switch to the next tape. I believe I have found a way to do it manually, by using "update volume" in bconsole and changing that media_id's value from "append" to "full", but I would rather this happen some way without my having to do that every day. If the answer to this is in the docs, I have missed it. Is there an easier way to handle this issue programmagically?
